Alec sighed for a brief minute, before twisting the door knob of the restaurant, he rubbed his palms together, clutching his suit tightly, he went inside the restaurant."Alec, Alec." He could already feel a arm waving intensively at him. Alec sighed before walking to the particular figure."Aren't you going to sit?" The man raised a brow, one would look at them and mistake them for pair. Like father-like son."Father, you called to have a word with me?" Alec sighed down and blew his hair."Yes, Son. It's has been long we sat down and chat. Isn't that right?" His father laughed heartily.Ronald Hart.The legendary member of the Hart family, he wad the successor of the Hart family, smart, handsome and well... All the quality of him is just so perfect.Ronald dropped the mug of coffee on the table and sighed. "Alec. We have to talk like adults."Alec gazed up at his father, honestly, he respected his father, there was little flashes of love and care that sparked in his eyes when ever he
She pulled his collar, and the next thing, she slammed her tiny yet plump lips on his.Gasps were heard, murmurs broke out."Oh my, she actually dared to Kiss Edward Hart, I wonder what will become of her."As an amateur, Nova had no idea of what she was actually doing, all she kept doing was entwining her tongue between his.Slowly, Edward pushed her aside a little bit. Not harshly, but gently.The whole room eyes was etched at her, and Nova couldn't help but feel embarrassed by what she did. She lifted her eye lashes slowly and gazed up at him.What was supposed to be his reaction?He was calm. Wasn't he gay? Nova blinked her eyes lashes. But, the next thing she expected, he held her close and gazed at everyone in the whole room.And simply, he dragged her away.**"Were you paid to do what you did?" Ethan gazed at the window. He was definitely referring to the crazy act she pulled in the restaurant.He had brought her all the way to hos office to ask a question? what man was he?"Hm
"A freshly plucked flower is a symbol of love, but artificial brought flowers is just a symbol of money."- Rae Rae.**Zoey clutched the flowers in her hand, letting out a sigh, she gazed at the huge apartment that stood there, staring at her.She couldn't help but grunt loudly, why would he live in a crappy apartment like these? these was definitely not right for him.It has been three days now that Dexter has fallen sick and he had never came to work, she stared at the huge apartment before walking in. The lobby was wide, and she stared around confused.There was definitely a lot of rooms here. How in the heck would she know which one was his? This was damn confusing.She saw an elderly woman pass by, and she couldn't help but wave her hand. "Hi Ma'am, I am looking for Dexter Hayes, can you please direct me to his room? It's my first time even here." Zoey smiled a little.The old woman twitched her lips a little bit. "I am sorry, but only Nova Hayes lives here, maybe, he's her siste
Dexter stood there, his legs unable to move, he had earlier planned to pursue her and say thank you for the flowers,but seeing her here made his heart stop beating. His am heart ached badly seeing her in such a state. She was in a mess, her hair was scattered, strands of hair all over her face, tears spluttered everywhere around her face, she sobbed quietly. She sprawled in the floor, and only then, did Dexter move closer to her. He sat on the floor with her and held her arm. "Are you okay?" His voice trembled. "No." She shook her head. More tears pouring down her face like a dam. He was surprised, all his life, the Zoey he had always known had been so carefree, she had never cried this bad. Who had this much impact on her? "Don't cry." He used his index finger to rub her cheek with contentment. He then smiled at her. She placed her head on his shoulder, a smile managing to form in her lips. "Thank you for making me smile today." **Natasha sighed, today wasn't the best day of
Two days later.Natasha twirled with the hemline of her dress and stared blankly, she was not in the mood to watch Alec type on his laptop all day. They had been in this damn office for hours now. She desperately wanted to go home and meet her kids, embrace them in warmth. But now she was stuck here.This was 10:30pm, wasn't she even allowed to go home?This was frustrating!"Sir," Natasha said slowly. "Can I leave?" This has been the fifth time she was asking."No." He said, he stood up from his chair and walked towards Natasha, grabbing her hand slowly. "Let us go.""To where?" Natasha managed to ask, but she was bundled up from the chair before she could even get a reply."To my house." Alec smirked as soon as they got into the car."Your house?" She swallowed the spit that crawled up in his throat as she watched him drive. It was probably the first time she was seeing him drive, he looked concentrated, with his firm gaze fixated on the road. He was manly.The car stopped in a mag
The rays of morning light illuminated on Natasha's face as she snuggled into the pillow, she seemed to be having a fight with sleep, as the rays of sunlight dropped harshly on her face. Even as she was sleeping, she made funny gestures, blinking her eyes and cursing under her breath, she didn't really want to wake up. But as the laws presumed, she blinked her eye lid open at once. She sat upright and gazed at the pillow she was snuggling, questions marks left on her face, she wanted to say something, but it was as if it was glued together. She stared at the large bedroom, as she tried to remember all that happened, her head ached badly, what was going on? she fought an inner battle with her brain to remember, but as always she neither succeeded as not even a pinch of memory flashed across her face. She gazed at the other side of the bed, she was all alone, no one was sleeping next to her. She clutched the bed sheet. What in the heck happened last night? She silently prayed he didn'
Priya's heart thumped and missed a beat, and Haylee's mouth was wide agape. Natasha shrugged, it was pleasing to see them like this, they made her go through series of pain, tortures and even threats. Now, she would make sure to be the one to be superior, no more being weak. "You Lair," Priya finally found her voice and even though it came out cracked. It was more authoritative, and make Natasha winced back a little. "You are a bloody liar, my son would never get involved in a relationship before informing me." Priya added, her face turned crimson red due to anger. Natasha inhaled before she stepped back a little, blinking her eye lids innocently, she stared at Priya. "Alec has said a lot of about you, seeing you in the news portraying Mrs. Hart, you look more calm and composed compared to how you look now," "I am such a big fan of you, and the way you portray yourself, but now, your words are breaking my heart." Natasha held her hand next to her chest to portray how disappointe
"Mother. Are you insane?" Alexis panted over the phone, clutching it tightly. "Our life would be over." Alexis yelled loudly. "Huh?" Priya wrinkled her face, age lines appearing all over. "She knows our secret, she could use it against us once she finds out that we are not on her side." Alexis explained, breathing normally now. "So?" Priya said, but the truth digested in her system, and she couldn't help but shiver. That secret could tear the Hart family apart, she didn't wanted to risk it. And therefore, the only option they had was to really partner up with Haylee. "I understand, we will act as if we are on her side, but we will oppose her and expose her secret first, that way it will make things more easier," Priya's face darkened, it glittered dangerously. "Well said, I have to go now mother, will call you back." The beep button was heard next, and Priya lowered the phone down to her channel purse. "Haylee, you are gone." *** Natasha slumped on the chair and wiped the laye

Thank you to my readers, I don't know what I would do without you wonderful people, if you love Zara Hart, and think you want to hear her story, you can let me know in the comments section.Yours,Rae-Rae.
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
