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,
"What in the heck?" Nova suddenly muttered, her heart pounding, why in the hell was it this man? This man that she hated? this man that she always got into trouble with. "Do you know him?" Belle asked her peeking into the paper. "Hmmm. it's a complicated storyline, don't try to know," Nova waved her hands, she suddenly handed the paper back to Belle. "I can't do this, I am sorry but tell boss to give the job to any other person." She shook her head as the tears zoomed in. "What? but boss has been counting on you since forever, you are the only one who can do This, please don't disappoint us." Belle gazed at her slowly, wishing her friend could just agree. "I have a really rough encounter with that guy, please," Nova stood up suddenly. She had promised never to see him again. Belle was towards her slowly before handing the paper to her. "Think this carefully and then you can tell us your opinion tomorrow, okay?" She walked towards the door before sighing. "We are all counting on
The next day, "Wake up guys, get ready for school," Nova tapped the kids as she sighed. Nikky snuggled in the blanket, and waved the pillow before hugging it to himself. "Just a little more Aunt," He slept. Nova grunted before giving him a pinch. "Get up you," Nikky yelled before he stood up hurriedly with a crumpled face. "Sure. I will get ready now." **"Be good, okay?" Nova said as soon as her car made a stop in the school, she opened the door and the twins came out waving at her. "Alright Aunt, we will be good," Nikky and Niccy waved their hand at her before hopping to the entrance. She sighed before igniting the engine and driving to her place of work, she got down the car and went to inside the office. It was a journalist office, with numerous of office workers trying their best to get the latest news. Nova clutched her hand bag as soon as she sighted a particular figure, she waved her hand at the woman who was busy with a computer. "Belle, Belle," She walled towards he
"You got the job," He suddenly said, and Nova turned to look at him with surprise. Her eyes widened, did she really got the job? a huge grin formed in the corner of her face. "Thank you sir, I will try not to disappoint." She bowed. Edward stood up and gazed at everyone around. "Thank you all for coming, good bye." He looked at her. "You can start tomorrow, and I will discuss the pay with you." She hurriedly nodded as she watched him leave, a sigh now escaping her lips. She gazed at everyone around before walking out of the mansion. She hurriedly drove over to her office and gave all the account to Belle. "I can't believe you for the job, what did you cook exactly?" Belle asked her, her eyes gazing at her. "I am so proud of you." Nova twirled her hand for a brief second, motioning her pen. "Of course, I made my favorite traditional apple pie, no one resists that darling." She smiled, a huge smile spread across her lips. Nova then went to the boss, and explained about everything
Zoey ran out of the huge quiet hall and down to her car that was parked outside the law firm, sniffles heard closely everywhere. She couldn't take it anymore. She needed her dad. Just then, her phone buzzed loudly, and she controlled her tears by wiping her face with her palm before fishing out the phone, a little smile spread across her lips as she gazed at the caller. Finally, it was her dad. "Hello Dad," Zoey tried her possible best not to sound desperate, she said it in a soft manner, she didn't wanted to anger him. She neither wanted him to find out she had been crying. "Zoey dear, Why don't you tell daddy what's going on? I am sure there's something we can do." Her dad warm voice boomed out, it made feel a little ounce of warmth. Ever since she was little, she had always liked her dad more, maybe because, he didn't force her her to be the perfect Miss. Hart like her mother would always do. "Wear this shoe, you would look better," "This dress is great, you would look elegan
Alec sat on the chair, and picked up the phone call, seeing it was his butler, he picked up. "Hello, what's going on?" Alec asked. His brows raised. "Hello sir, I am just calling to inform you that there is a ball coming soon at London Royal house, you are expected to bring a date also, the whole camera will be on you," The butler explained everything. "Ball? As in What ball?" Alec asked, anger now written all over his face, a scowl evident on his forehead. "Sir, it's a masquerade ball, you are to wear a mask, and your clothes will be delivered to your doorstep." The butler went on. "Sure." Alec attempted to hang up, but the butler quickly spoke up. "Sir, the ball is tomorrow, and you are expected to bring a date," And then he said. "Why don't you take Haylee with you?" Alec's blood boiled with anger, did his butler just mention... Haylee? "I never want to hear that name again." He almost cracked his phone and the voce on the other end trembled. "I am so sorry Sir, forgive me.
The next day,With a groan, Natasha yawned loudly on the bed. They rays of sunlight from the window peeking into her face. Making it shine gracefully.She peeked through her left and could see Alec, with his eye lids chapped together, for a moment, he looked really cute. He slept calmly. Was this how he always slept? so calm, as if it was the end. She stared at him with amused lips. Her hands itching to touch his cute face.For a moment, she tried to restrain her self but her stubborn hand made way to touch his face. She ravished his face with her hand, her heart pounding as she did so.For a moment, Alec's eyes chapped open making her face wide in horror. Quickly, he grabbed her arm."What are you doing?" His icy cold voice gretted her immediately."Umm, Umm. There was something in your face," Natasha quickly added, a blush forming in the corner of her cheeks.He stood up from the bed, and cupped her chin. "You know, you could just admit what you were really doing, planning to kiss

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
