As soon as they reached the office, Natasha went to her office which was close to Alec's and slumped on the chair feeling tired, she wondered how Niccy would feel now. Probably Hurt? She gazed back at her office laptop and scrambled on the laptop, she was going to be busy for the entire day anyways. She sighed before rubbing her palms together, she had to get something to eat, she was damn hungry. Soon, she left the office and stroded downstairs only to see an handsome man on the waiting chair. "Are you the CEO's assistant? I will like to see him now, hope he isn't busy?" Edward asked her, scanning her. Natasha couldn't help but slowly Nodding her head, "He isn't expecting anyone so you can go in now." She respectfully said. *"What's up Alec?" Edward walked in freely, he hands in his suit pocket, he slumped on the chair. "I have been in abroad for the past six years, and this is how you welcome an old time friend?" He wined but as always, Alec ignored him for his laptop. "Hey!
The next day, Natasha woke up with a yawn, and a smile spread all across her lips, she gazed around the bed room and couldn't see her twins on the bed. Her face etched a frown as she stared around, where was her kids? She stood up from the bed and wore her flip flops, etching her night wear, she stroded downstairs. She could smell the nice smell of pancakes as she walked down the stairs. "What's this I am smelling?" She happily stroded downstairs. "Good morning," Nova smiled as she adjusted her apron, she cringed her head a little as she flipped the pancake. "Wow. This smells nice, where are the kids?" Natasha asked her. "They are preparing for school, no need to worry, oh and can we talk about the cash?" Nova nervously laughed. Natasha shrugged her shoulders a little bit, "Would $100 do?" Nova's eyes brightened, "Duh," "I have to get prepared, I don't want Alec troubling me," Natasha walked to the toilet. **Natasha etched the coat as the cold wind blew across her now pal
After the eating, Natasha patted her stomach, that was the best food she had ate in years, the flavour, the richness, it was so good. Alec stood up and adjusted his suit, soon they went outside. A flashy BMW speed towards them, the car creaked slightly open, and a butler in tuxedo walked out of the car. "Good day Sir," He bowed slightly, "Please get in the car. I will be your ride to the hotel," Natasha and Alec entered the car and soon, it drove up in high speed to one of the best hotel in London; Cafe Royal hotel. It was an expensive hotel where only rich elites booked, am hotel that a pauper can never go too. Alec walked in the hotel, his shades on. He walked to the receptionist and gazed at her. "I would like to have two rooms," Alec said indifferently passing his debit card to her The receptionist gazed at him, her eyes twinkling, she seemed to have something for him, scrambling her hands through the computer, she gazed up at Alec. "I am sorry sir, but all the rooms are t
"What are you doing?" He took slow steps to her side. "Umm... This?" Natasha nervously smiled, pointing at the paper in her hand, what was she going to say now? to this man? "I saw this on the bed and just thought it might be a business plan," Her lie was with no foundation. It made him more curious. "Hmm," Alec sat on the armchair starring at her with his dark eye lids. That was it? no words? no words at all. "Are you gonna deduct from my salary? Natahsa declared bodly, her hands trembling a little. Can he actually do that? "Why would I do that?" He raised his brows staring at her. "Is that a yes or a no?" She laughed nervously, biting her lips slowly. She nodded, handing the paper, she decided to test him, and listen to whatever he really want to say, "I am sorry for reading it, but you must really love her," She smiled still staring at him. He gazed darkened, but for the first time, a smile on his lips, "She understood me, Cindy." That was the first time in ever he called
"This is frustrating, I hated being teamed up with you," Zoey grunted as she sat down, her face squeezing up a little as she stared at Dexter. For some unknown reasons, they were teamed up together to solve a case so as to win points. Presently, they were in a Café trying to figure out a clue. "It's not my fault we were teamed up together." Dexter sipped the drink, a dangerous smirk suddenly appearing on her face. "Then whose fault was it, huh?" Zoey sighed. "I wonder how we are going to find the killer of Mrs. Castillo, she had been dead for a week now," Dexter sighed. Taking a bite from the food. Mrs. Castillo was a lawyer, and one of the successful lawyers in town, she was always fit and was always solving murder mysteries, but now, it was their turn to solve the murder mystery. "We have been jotting down notes, investigating and investigating for ever, this is absurd!!" Zoey slapped her forehead. "Don't you think we need to think about this whole thing?" Dexter reasoned. "
The next morning, Priya sighed for the upmteenth time as she kept on trying her son's number, why was he suddenly ignoring her? Since, Alexis called her and told her about Haylee, she was frightened just like before. She could feel her blood pressure raising up again, she let out a sighed and continued dialing the number. As if giving up, she threw the phone to the other side of the bed, she stood up from the arm chair and walked away outside. She could feel her son was ignoring her, so she walked up to the butler. "Good morning Ma'am," The butler bowed with respect as he gazed at her. "Can I have your phone?" Priya gritted her teeth in discomfort. "Of course," The butler quickly handed her his phone, he knew better than to anger her. Priya gazed at his phone and quickly dialed Alec's number. In just one Dial, her son picked up the phone. "Hello," Alec's hazy phone was connected. "Who is this?" So, he was deliberately ignoring her, her hand fisted into a ball as she gritted
Natasha widened her eye in shock, was this man crazy? "No!" Alec gazed at him coldly, his voce sending shivers down Kyle's spine. Kyle smirked before adding. "Are you sure? I am pretty certain you need this deal," "I am desperate but not that desperate, I didn't know why I came here in the first place and you know, Edward warned me," Alec added coldly. "Whatever," Kyle gritted his teeth in disgust, "Forget about this damn business deal and get out my office." His face was crimson red due to anger, for once, couldn't they really understand him? Fine, he was a playboy, but he had soft sides, but, they all thought he was a monster, He and Edward wasn't on good terms. Alec dragged Natasha to his side. "Let's get out of here," Alec casted one last look at Kyle. "I can't believe you would stoop so low," He snickered out loud. "You don't know me!" Kyle gritted his teeth in anger, why did they never understood him even for once? "You are a freak!" Alec growled angrily. "Me? A freak?"
Nova wiped the layers of sweat that formed in the corner of her forehead and sighed, she mixed the batter with the wooden spoon, and leaned on the table. Taking care of the kids was the worst experience ever, for once, she wondered how Natasha was coping with all these. They were trouble makers and never gave her any time to rest. Her tired eyes darted around as she adjusted the apron, the twins has been giving her a rough time, she barely slept and has been meeting to their endless demands. "Boo," Nikky bounced out of nowhere and she almost dropped the bowl of batter. "Ahh, Nikky, you scared me!" She placed her hand on her chest and stared, horror clearly written all over her face. She widened her eyes and stared at Nikky who smiled naughtily at her. She couldn't believe him, she balanced the bowl of batter that was slowly sipping to the ground, she stood composed and shrugged her shoulders. "Why would you do that?" She asked him suddenly, waving the sweat. He shrugged; before,

One year later,Thanksgiving day.The room smelt like any other thanksgiving room, roasted turkey, cream, salad and a bunch of people sipping wine. The dinner was about to start, and soon everyone was going to be saying what they were thankful for.Zoey recounted, she didn't even know where to begin, just one year ago, her life had changed ever so much. Perfectly well, it had gone along.Dexter came into her life, Rafael stumbled in, and oh, she didn't know how, but they both loved her daughter so much, well. Zara better get used to having two overprotective fathers.Miranda, Stella and Zoey have become quite the inseparable trio, having tea on Mondays, hitting the gyms, and gossiping about their husbands.Presently, Zoey was sprawled on the bed, her hands swiping through her phone, just waiting for it to be ringing, finally it chimed. She swiped it up immediately."Stella!" She beams, cheeks pink. "How's the baby moon going? Is Mexico alright?"Stella's voice sounded so angelic from
Two Months later."Zoey hurry! We don't want to be late for Sky's concert. Do we?" Stella yells from the bedroom, her gaze directed at the dressing room."Coming! Just trying to get the zipper on, damn, it's too hard!" Zoey yells back.Stella takes in a little giggle, and stares outside the room, the view is perfect, she could see the sun set even from here. She was having a giddy feeling today, but it didn't sum up her excitement.Today was Sky's first concert after his music block has been overcomed and he was singing his new song. People are flooding all over Los Angeles just to hear his voice, She, Zoey and the rest already got their tickets. She couldn't wait to see him sing after his music block. Excitement is washing over her. She can't wait.Zara enters the room, a smile on her face. "Aunt Stella!" She throws herself towards her."How was your night? Little Pumpkin?" Stella nudges her hair playfully, her hands moving to tickle her."It's fine." Zara scrunched her nose, before
Even though one week had passed and everything seemed to be moving well, Zoey still felt this urge: sinking and swimming through her, prompting her to see her mother in jail, so that's why early in the morning, she got into her Sedan and drove towards the lane."What do you want?" The receptionist barked at her, her face gruff, prison was not a good place, no doubt. It smelt of stale coffee, the place looks rugged, like criminals had been jacked into this place, struggling to get inside."I want to see my mother." Zoey made to speak again, but the angry looking woman waved her off."Sorry. Kid." The woman puffed her cigar in between her hands, "But visiting hours are over, if you would please return later, I am sure you would be entertained with whoever you want to meet."The woman is really rude, no doubt, but Zoey doesn't want to leave without seeing her mother. Sometimes, your name is very important, and if using that name would get her what she wants. Then, why the heck not?She
The whole room felt so small as Zoey ran past them, it was like oxygen was racking her spine as she counted the rooms. Her breath was short-lived, she could only pray under her breath."Zara!" She calls out, fear evident in her voice, the pain of losing her own daughter sends tears to her eyes. The hall was stretched out, too many rooms. The stairs looking back at her.She stopped at the living room, she could feel the throbbing in her head."Zara! Please come out. Please." She just stood there rooted, it was like the alarm was buzzing in her head: countdown, five, four..Sweat clanged the corner of her hair, she checked her father's study, it looked rather untouched. Her father's favorite novel, 'Rich man, poor man,' sat there elegantly on the table. Hope. It needled through her, then vanished into thin air. She called again, this time more loudly, perhaps her daughter might hear her. "Zara!" The room was eerily quiet.With lost hope, she just stood there, she would rather blow with
The next day came rather too quickly, and like her mother used to say when she was young: You just have to face it.So, when she sprang up from the bed, she kissed Dexter on the forehead gently before heading downstairs. Rafael was by the counter making cereal for her daughter while balancing a cup of coffee on one hand."Ready for the big day, huh?" He hands her a cup, while gently pouring the milk into the bowl, Zara watches with her eyes fluttering."It's funny how you made it sound so casual." Zoey says casually, everything has been planned, they are all meeting up in her father's house. Nova, her husband, Alec and his wife, Stella and Sky. Miranda was going to meet them there.Zara shoves her spoon into the bowl, her mouth full of corn flakes. "Mother. Can I come with you? Pretty please?""Yes. Dexter and I will get the car ready, why don't Rafael pick out your dress, okay sweetheart?"She nods and focuses on her food, just by staring at her daughter makes her heart swell, the on
In life, you could be either lucky or unlucky, but there's no such thing as luck or not luck, it's the chance we have, it's the choice we get that defines us, not our luck, that's why as Lin sat down, fiddling with the hemline of her gown, she recalled all the choices she had got to make, and one of them dealt with forgiving her husband, Asher.He was only being threatened, he just wanted to protect her. He loves her, that's why he wanted to protect, because for the person you love, you could go through extreme lengths just to make sure they were safe."Lin? Lin, are you listening to me?" Asher said, clutching the cup of coffee in one hand.She snapped out of her daydream, before staring around, waiting. What was he saying? She didn't even hear a thing."I was saying whether we should take the kids to Disneyland this year?" That was one thing she would always love about him, his ability to remember anything."But Mommy, we went to Disneyland last year!" Her seven year old daughter wai
Stella had imagined countless things in her life, but here she was. Seating opposite her parents with Sky by her side, this time. She wasn't scared, hope brimmed in her chest, because with him she felt strong, she felt like somebody."You want to date him?" Her mother said, under those lashes of hers, her words held some kind of deep warning, "What about Doctor Rodriguez?"Her father dropped the spoon on the plate, the metallic sound filling their eyes. "Stella dear. You can't go out with him. He's not for-""I didn't come here for your approval." Her tone sent them all warning, Sky placed his hand on her shoulder, his gaze, a reassuring one. He turned towards her parents."I am Sky. Well, I dated your daughter, until you threatened me to leave her, I fell in love with her, again. I fell hard, I am still falling for her. She makes me, she completes me. I love her so much."Neither of them blinked."And I am sorry, but you can't stand in the way of our love," He breathed in, "She helpe
Loud chattering filled the room, kids chasing each other, muttering words under their breath, some kids sprawled on the neat blue rug, playing with their toys.The kitchen linked to the living room, some adults were leaning against the island, each gripping a glass of wine. There's some muttering, no laughter here, just clear talking.Relax. Zoey's head throbbed, but she just couldn't. Dexter's hand was placed on hers, it was warm, at least that made her calm down a little, but still. She wanted to sprang up the seat, and protect those she loved, her mind reeled. To her mother's word, to Lin's words.Thankfully, Zara was talking to her cousin 'Damien', they seemed to be arguing though, but hey, it was her daughter."Everybody." Natasha clicked the glass, the whole room went silent. The kids stopped and turned to look at her, immediately she received the call, she didn't know what prompted her to call Natasha, Natasha was soothing on the other end, and they agreed to call a meeting.Li
