~SANDY~

“Answer me!” Natasha thundered and I let out a sigh.

“Why are you acting like she committed an atrocity? There's no harm in liking someone.” Hailey said before I could respond and Natasha let out a bitter chuckle.

“I thought you were my friend.” She muttered and I rolled my eyes.

“Friend? Friends don't try to sabotage each other. I know you see me as your competition. That's why you've been purposely trying to turn Alfred against me!” I snapped and she stared at me with a confused expression.

“What are you talking about?” She asked while alternating her gaze between Hailey and me.

“Oh would you cut it out already! We don't buy your miss goody two shoes act.” Hailey countered and Natasha furrowed her brows which almost made me believe she had no idea what we were talking about.

“We know you purposely spilled that wine on Sandy's bikini because you were jealous of her. I saw the way you were staring at her before that. And even at the boutique, you were jealous when Alfred paid

    ~ALFRED~“Honey, your dad and I were thinking —”“Just forget it if you're going to tell me to fix a date for my wedding.” I said, cutting mom off and she stared at me in a perplexed manner.“That's not what your mother wanted to say.” Dad explained and I almost rolled my eyes.“If not that then is it another attempt to control my life? Since you two obviously don't care about my opinion.”“Alfred,”“I think I'll go to my room if there's nothing else.” I declared and left the dinner table without waiting for their response.I got to the hotel room and shortly after, Gabriel walked in.“That was a bit rude of you, dude.” He pointed out and I scoffed.“Is this some sort of team up?” I snorted and he let out a sigh before responding.“Your mom was simply trying to ask you what you wanted for your graduation.” Gabriel responded as he sat on the couch next to me.“I want to move out far away from them. How about that for a present?” I snickered and he hit me hard on the head.“You know you

    ~SANDY~ I let out a sigh as I turned off my phone to block further calls from Hailey. I knew it was stupid of me to leave just like that but I had to. I didn't want to keep hurting those around me. “Where to miss?” The taxi driver asked politely as he helped me put my luggage in the trunk. “The airport.” I responded as he opened the door for me and I got in. I had booked a flight back to New York from my savings. I needed to get my things from Alfred's apartment before they even realized I was back in New York. I knew it was only a matter of time, given their connection and all, and so I had to act quickly. Mr. And Mrs. Grey were not able to find any of my relatives back then but I've been searching for years and I was able to reach my aunt Paulina from Canada. We spoke on the phone and she was actually happy to know that I was alright. I had called her again last night and she was more than happy to have me stay at her place.

    ~HAILEY~“Alright, got it.” I said with a sigh of relief before hanging up. “Did he find her?” Kiara asked worriedly and I bobbed my head.“This is all my fault. If I didn't say that to her —”“Don't blame this on yourself, Natasha.” I said, cutting her off.If anything, this was my fault. I had paid little to no attention to Sandy's feelings, and pushed her to her last limits. “I am supposed to be her best friend. How could I not see that she was hurting so much?” I sighed and Kiara patted my back.“Don't be too hard on yourself. The most important thing is that Sandy is safe.” She said with a reassuring smile and Natasha placed a hand on my shoulder as though trying to cheer me up.I guess I was wrong about her. Seeing how worried she was about Sandy made me believe she really cared about Sandy. I had misunderstood her intentions, she really just wanted to be friends with Sandy.“I'm sorry, Natasha. I really thought you were —”“There's no need to apologize, Hailey. You were just

    ~GABRIEL~ The ride back home was rather a gloomy one even though Alfred had reassured us that Sandy was alright. I guess we all cared about her so much that the thought of her disappearing broke everyone's heart.I felt disappointed in myself. As her friend, I should have seen it coming. I did sense her sadness all through the trip, the only time she was truly happy was when we went to the beach and that was short lived though.I would have never forgiven myself if anything had happened to her or if Alfred hadn't found her in time. “Mom, I want to transfer to Ousen University.” Kiara blurted out of the blue, snapping me out of my thoughts as she was seated next to me on the private jet.“Why? You're the one who handpicked Winter Hall College.” Mrs. Mirabella responded and Kiara pressed her lips into a thin line.“I only did that because I wanted to be away from Alfred but now, I really want to go to Ousen. Alfred will graduate soon so I won't have to see him everyday.” She explained

Did he come back late today?” I inquired and Butler Lee nodded.“Master Flynn should be in his study.” He responded and I nodded before heading to the study.“Dad, I'm home.” I said as I walked in and dad looked up from his computer, his face brightening up the moment he noticed me.“There's my little princess. How was your trip?” He asked as he stood up from the chair and spread his arms out for me.I smiled as I ran into his arms, hugging him tightly.“I had so much fun dad. I wish I could go again but this time with you and mom this time.” I responded with a pout and he pulled away from the hug.“I would love that too, darling but you know work doesn't give me much spare time to go on vacations.” He responded and I let out a sigh.It was true that he was a busy man, even Mr. Easton only went on this trip because of w

  • Dear Ex, Come Back With My Baby   THE DIVORCE

    BOOK 1 OF THE DESTINED LOVE SERIES: Little Alfred Plays Matchmaker: The Billionaire's Regret ***MIRABELLA’S POV*** I stared blankly at the file in my hand, still trying to wrap my head around it. It’s a divorce document sent to me by my beloved husband. At first, I thought he was joking when he first mentioned it to me, but now that it is in my possession, it is crystal clear that my husband meant it. He had already signed his part before having the documents sent to me. How did we end this way? After three years of marriage and three years of my consistent effort to get him to love me back, my efforts remained null and void. Was it wrong for me to want to be with the man I love? I know I forced Easton into this marriage, knowing fully well that he was dating someone else at that moment, but I only did it because of the love I have for him. I’ve always been in love with Easton Grey, right from the day we first met. I was at a dinner party that my father had asked me to att

    (SIX YEARS LATER) EASTON’S POV I checked my watch for the third time as I made my way to the airport’s entrance. I had cut my meeting short so I could get here in time to pick up Nicole, despite her suggesting she takes a cab. Thankfully, I made it just in time. As I awaited her, my eyes suddenly caught sight of a woman. She stood some distance away from me and had her gaze glued to her phone. Her long, silky, dark hair covered the side of her face, preventing me from seeing it fully. Something about her seemed familiar, but I couldn’t wrap my head around it since I was yet to see her face. I attempted to break my stare, but it seemed as though my eyes had developed a will of their own and were refusing to comply with my mental commands. The woman swiftly turned around and walked away, but in that swift movement, I was able to catch a glimpse of her face. I suddenly felt uneasy and curious about this woman, and my legs started moving on their own in an attempt to follow he

    ~SANDY~The next day was pretty much exciting for everyone. After having breakfast, we all went shopping, well, mostly Hailey, Kiara, Natasha and me. Alfred and Gabriel just tagged along to help carry the bags.“How does this look?” Kiara asked as she stepped out of the dressing room in a yellow floral dress.“Like a sunflower.” Hailey beamed and Kiara's gaze shifted to Gabriel whose attention was on his phone. I noticed the little sadness in her eyes as she stared at him, probably expecting him to notice her.“I'll go try this one on.” Natasha announced as she picked up a blue dress from the roll and went into the changing room.“Sandy, you still haven't gotten anything.” Hailey pointed out and I let out a sigh.“Everything here is expensive. I'll get something when we go to a cheaper store.” I responded and Gabriel looked up at me.“Should I buy you a dress then?
