***EASTON'S POV***

I let out a sigh the moment the door closed. I didn't mean to act out like that, I just couldn't help but get jealous, seeing Roman so close to my family. I get that he was there for her when I wasn't but now it just feels like he is everywhere.

Mirabella might see him as a friend but I know he has feelings for her. The way he looks at her, the way he looks at Alfred, the way he acts so protective around her, he definitely sees her as more than just a close friend.

“Daddy, can we get going now? We're going to be late if you keep staring into space like that.” Alfred's voice pulled me out of my thoughts and I smiled at him.

“Of course, let's go.” I said and cleared the dining table, and then we left the apartment.

“Daddy, why do adults fight a lot when they love each other?” Alfred suddenly asked and I glanced at him from the rear mirror.

“What makes you think that?”

“You and mommy fight almost all the time you're together.” He responded and I let out a sigh.

    ***LOGAN'S POV*** “You imbecile!” I snapped as I hit the tip of the gun on one of my idiot men's head, sending him to the ground. “I'm sorry, boss. Please forgive me.” He pleaded and I clenched my fist. “Who told you to fucking shoot at a kid?! I simply said scare Easton a little you fool!” I thundered and he lowered his head to the ground. “I'm sorry, boss. I'm sorry.” “You better pray that man doesn't die or I'll kill you myself!” I yelled before storming into my house. How could they mess up a simple plan like this?! I knew I have gone myself but what's the point of having them if I have to do every fucking thing myself! “How did it go?” I turned around to see Nicole standing by her door. “What do you think?” I asked and continued my way up the stairs. “Judging from the look on your face, I'd say something went wrong?” She asked with a knowing grin. “Just say what's on your fucking mind before I lose my patience.” I responded not stoping until I was back in my study and s

    ***EASTON'S POV*** I paced back and forth in the waiting room as I awaited news from the doctors. Jerald had been rushed into the emergency operation room and we were yet to hear from them. It's been half an hour now and Sandy had cried herself to sleep on Helen's laps. Alfred looked extremely sad and he just sat there quietly, so quiet that I was beginning to worry something was wrong with him as well. Did he get hurt from the fall somehow? “Easton! Alfred!” I turned around in shock on hearing Mirabella's voice and no, I wasn't hallucinating. She was right there as she rushed towards us, looking a bit disheveled. “Mommy!” Alfred suddenly burst out crying as he ran into Mirabella's arms. “I'm so sorry, sweetheart. I shouldn't have left you alone. Mommy is so sorry.” She cried out as she hugged Alfred as though her life depended on it. “Are you hurt? Does it hurt anywhere?” She asked worriedly as she scrutinized Alfred's body and he shook his head. “Sandy's dad got hurt. He pu

    TWO WEEKS LATER***MIRABELLA'S POV***As we watched the priest say a prayer over Jerald's grave, I couldn't stop the tears from streaming down my cheeks. I may not have known him for long, but knowing the fact that Sandy had lost both parents at such a young age really broke my heart.She was standing next to Easton and I and contrary to my expectations, she wasn't crying. She just stood there, silent, as though she didn't fully understand what was going on but I could see she was in pain. Her eyes looked very sad.Easton and I had tried to reach out to any of her extended family members but even after two weeks, we couldn't get a hold of anyone, and so we decided to hold Jerald's burial ourselves.After the ceremony, everyone began trying to comfort Sandy. Most parents from Blakemore Academy had come, including Helen and Gina.“We are so sorry, Little Sandy. Everything is going to be alright, okay?” Helen said to Sandy as she forced back her tears but the little one just stared at He

  • Dear Ex, Come Back With My Baby   LONG TIME NO SEE

    ***EASTON'S POV*** I couldn't help but smile as I stared at Mirabella's sleeping face. She looked so calm and angelic at that moment and I found myself tucking a strand of her hair behind her ear. She had fallen asleep on the couch last night and I carried her to her room, but after placing her on the bed, she insisted that I stay back. I felt a strange feeling as I watched her slumber peacefully with her head resting on my left arm. This is probably the first time we have slept so close to each other and it just felt so right. I wanted to wake up like this every morning, greeted by her angelic face but I knew that would have to wait. I needed to get to the bottom of this, or I fear we won't be able to live our lives normally otherwise. I gently pulled my hand away from her head and she stirred in her sleep, turning towards the opposite side of the bed which gave me the opening to pull free without waking her up. I picked up my coat from the table before quietly leaving the room.

    ***MIRABELLA'S POV***I slowly opened my eyes as I ran my hand through the other side of the bed but it was empty. “Easton?” I called drowsily as I forced myself up but the room was empty.I clearly remembered falling asleep in his arms... Thinking about that now, I found myself blushing like a teenager who had just found out her crush likes her.I shook my head, getting rid of all thoughts and I went into the bathroom to have a bath.I walked into the living room after and froze on the sight that welcomed me.“Surrender now, villain!” Sandy yelled as she pointed her plastic toy sword at Roman.“Spider man and wonder woman saved the day again!” Alfred beamed and Roman pretended to have fainted.I chuckled, making my presence known to them.“Mommy, did you see that?!” Alfred beamed the moment he saw me.“I saw how handsome you look in your spider man outfit.” I responded and he giggled when I ruffled his hair.“It's good to see you're having fun too, Sandy.” I stated with a smile and

    ***LOGAN'S POV***“Why do you have a picture of my family?” She asked, her gaze firm as she awaited my response. At first I panicked a bit but then I realized that it doesn't change anything whether or not she finds out. She was in my home, and I had the upper hand. I know I said I would save her for last, but if things go sideways, then I might just start with her.“I mean, no offense but you do realize you're from a well known family right? Of course images of you would be loaded on the Internet.” I said in a playful manner as I walked up to her and took the photo from her.“So you printed it off the Internet? Why?” She asked again and I let out a light chuckle.“I was curious. I mean I was fascinated by you the moment I saw you, and yes I'll admit I shamefully stalked your photos online but I promise I have no ill intentions.” I responded and she furrowed her brows, as though not believing a word.“But this isn't why you came all the way to see me, is it?

The matter before us is the adoption petition of Mirabella Brookwood and Easton Grey, seeking to adopt Sandra Willows, a four year old female child. Mr. Lawrence, please proceed."

Since she's legally ours. " I asked and he seemed thoughtful for a while.“I think we should rush things. Sandy is still young and she might not fully understand her choices now. Let's give her time. By the time she turns sixteen, if she decides she wants to change her name or keep it, then we'll respect her wishes.” Easton responded and I bobbed my head in agreement.We alighted the car and went into the building to get our kids. “Ms. Brookwood.” Helen called when she spotted us. She seemed to be having a little chat with Sandy when we arrived.“It's good to see you, Helen.” I smiled at her.“Thank you both for choosing to take Sandy under your wings.” “It's no big deal. We love her and we owe it to Jerald.” Easton resp

    ~SANDY~I felt my palms getting wet as I was called out onto the podium to give my speech.I had imagined this day since the first day I got into Ousen University, and now it was finally here but now, I felt really anxious. What if I said the wrong things, what if I slipped while climbing onto the podium and fell?Why were my thoughts suddenly so wicked?I should be confident in myself. I came this far, I survived all the hardship, all the challenges and the best part of it all, was that among the audience, my family and everyone I loved was present.Uncle Roman, my grandparents Lionel and Lucia, my granddaughter Martha, my adoptive parents Easton and Mirabella, my sister Kiara, my best friends Hailey and Gabriel, my new friends Natasha and Danzel, my Aunt Paulina and her children, and lastly, the love of my life, Alfred Grey.They were all present, and cheering me on.

    ~DANZEL~I groaned as I heard the loud banging on the door to my room. “Danzel, don't you have a morning shift or something today? Why are you still in bed?” I heard Jeffery's voice yapping nonstop and I finally pulled myself out of the bed.I just wanted to sleep in today. I didn't feel like going anywhere but the problem is I haven't felt like going out ever since Hailey left here that night.I felt so stupid for hurting her. She didn't deserve it. She didn't deserve someone like me, she deserved better.She had genuinely made herself vulnerable by telling me how she felt and I coldly shattered her heart. I let her down real hard and it has haunted me every night and day.“Dude what the hell? Are you sick or something? You haven't left the house for a week now.” Jeffery asked worriedly as I finally let him into my room.“I'm fine, I just need a little rest.” I responded but he didn't seem convinced.“You said that yesterday and every other day before. What's going on with you?”I s

    ~HAILEY~“You got everything?” Mom asked as I zipped up my box, ready to leave.“Yes, I think.” I responded, my gaze scrutinizing the room to be certain I wasn't forgetting anything.When I was certain I had it all, I pulled my luggage downstairs. Sandy and Kiara were both waiting for me.Kiara was celebrating her nineteenth birthday this weekend and I decided to spend the week with them since we were on a school break as well.“Don't worry, Mrs. Jordan, we will take good care of her.” Sandy reassured my mom and I chuckled softly.“I trust you will. Have fun sweetheart.” Mom said as I hugged her goodbye.“I'll call you the moment we arrive.” I said and she nodded in response, giving us the green light to leave.The ride back to New York was a rather quiet one, until Kiara broke the silence.“So no one is going to say anything? Come on, tell me how it went!” Kiara beamed and I pressed my lips into a thin line.I wish I had never confessed to Danzel but at the same time, I had no regret

    ~HAILEY~ I opened the door, letting Sandy and Kiara in. They wanted to meet my mom before they headed back. Funny how five minutes after refusing to come with them, I had changed my mind and agreed to it.I wanted to spend more time with Sandy and school break was around the corner, so maybe I could leave then, and come back on resumption.“This is my first time being in your house in Pennsylvania. We mostly met up at your apartment next to school or you would come see me.” Sandy pointed out and I slowly bobbed my head.She's been talking nonstop about things we used to do and things we never did. I could see that she was making a lot of efforts to get me to remember, but even my mom couldn't make that happen.I guess I was the one slowly blocking my memories or something. I thought I would miraculously remember once I met Sandy, but even Sandy seemed strange to me at some point, while another, she was familiar.“My mom should be home shortly. Do you need anything while you wait?” I

    ~HAILEY~ Sandy's eyes teared up the moment I called out her name and she immediately rushed towards me, engulfing me in a tight hug. “Hailey! My God it's you!” She cried out and I found myself crying as well. I could feel her love for me radiating through her every being. Just like my mom, I didn't have to remember her to know that she was truly an important part of my life. She was my best friend, and I'm certain she was also like a sister to me. “I have missed you so much!” She pulled out of the hug, her gaze scrutinizing me from top to bottom. I suddenly felt a light smack on my shoulder and turned to the side to see the blue eyed lady glaring daggers at me. “How could you?! How could you ghost us like that?! How could you abandon Sandy like that?! Did your friendship mean so little to you?! Did we mean so little to you?!” She kept on ranting and I felt a bit overwhelmed with confusion. “You vanished without a warning. Did you know how worried we all were?” She asked but I

    ~HAILEY~ What the hell was I thinking?! What in the world made me think I could juggle working and studying at the same time?! I swear I would faint if I got there one more time. I barely had time to do anything, and to think I've only been there for a week! “Hailey, come help me off load the new stocks.” Charity, my work colleague called out and I let out a heavy sigh. I couldn't remember the last time I had a goodnight's rest. My weekdays were taken by school and my weekends were taken by work! Even Sundays weren't any exception. “You can quit now before it's too late.” Danzel's words to me on my second day echoed in my mind. I hated that he was so certain I couldn't handle the work. I wanted to prove him wrong, but at this moment, I think I wouldn't mind raising my white flag. “Have you been sleeping well? You have visible eyebags.” Charity pointed out and I let out a frustrated groan as we restocked the shelves with the new products. Today was Saturday, and since I didn't

    ~HAILEY~ The moment my name left his lips, I felt my pent up anger melting away instantly. I mean who cares if he ghosted me, that smile was more than enough to make me forget it all. “Danny!” My happiness was short lived the moment a blonde haired lady ran up to him and engulfed him in a tight hug. “We missed you at the party. I'm hosting another this weekend though. Do you think you can make it?” She asked but all the while, Danzel's gaze was fixated on me, and I found myself not being able to look away. At first I wanted to murder the blondy with my gaze but seeing how Danzel didn't even reciprocate her hug, it reassured me that she wasn't his girlfriend. “I didn't know you attended Bucknell. What a coincidence.” Danzel said to me, his expression blank but his gaze still held mine. I eventually gave up and looked away. Something about the way he stared at me always made me feel weak in the knees. “I didn't know you were an engineering student as well. I guess you're multi ta

    ~HAILEY~ “There you go. All done.” The nurse at the clinic said as she finished wrapping the bandage under my feet. “How long will I stay like this?” I frowned as I stared at my legs. Just when I was finally getting back on my feet, now I will be forced to go back to wheelchair until it's all healed up. “I would say about two weeks. Thankfully the cut wasn't so deep so it shouldn't take too long to heal up.” The nurse responded with a smile and I let out a sigh. “What were you thinking, Hailey? Why would you step on broken glass pieces like that?” Mom scolded. I lowered my gaze. I had no idea what happened. The only thing on my mind was the memory flash I had. Why was I on that bus? Why did only I survive out of everyone on that bus? While I was being wheeled to the clinic, I had done a little digging from the phone on the accident. That's how I found out about everything. Everyone else in that bus had died. “Hailey, are you listening?” Mom's voice pulled me out of my though
