TOO PERFECT

EASTON'S POV

I ransacked my wardrobe for the perfect suit to adorn. All my clothes were made by top-notch designers, and some were even the first of their kind, but today it seemed as though they weren’t good enough.

I screamed at myself internally, reminding myself that this was just a simple dinner, and I was taking it too extreme by trying to look my best, but even with that said, I couldn’t help but try to look my best. I just felt I had to impress Mirabella.

I admit that I felt a bit nervous to meet her in private. Although we’ve been working under the same roof for close to two weeks now, Mirabella only treated me like a co-worker. Rationally, I knew that it was the best state for us; it was better than her completely ignoring me, but on a personal level, a part of me wanted to be closer to Mirabella.

When I had finally clad myself in my finest suit, I checked the mirror once more just to make sure everything was perfect. I brushed back a strand of hair that had left its posit

  • Dear Ex, Come Back With My Baby   DEPRESSED

    EASTON’S POVI tried so hard to focus on the steering on my way back, but thoughts of my discussion with Mirabella clouded my mind. I didn’t know how to feel about it all; if it wasn’t Mirabella, I would have concluded that this was all a vicious attempt to ruin my relationship with Nicole.My parents have always been against my relationship with Nicole, right from day one, but I never paid their words any attention, as I assumed their disapproval was due to Nicole’s poor background. I never cared about her background because, to me, she seemed diligent, well-mannered, and ambitious. She also showed kindness to everyone around her, and seeing how much effort she put into her studies contributed to my willingness to help her.I finally got back home, and Nicole was waiting for me as usual. She dashed towards the living room with a bright smile on her face and wrapped her arms tightly around me. “You’re back! I missed you.” She said enthusiastically with a cute pout, and I forced a smi

  • Dear Ex, Come Back With My Baby   BLOOD TRAILS

    NICOLE’S POV I opened my eyes the moment I heard the closing sound of the door. A small frown settled on my face as Easton’s question resurfaced. “Would you still want to be with me if I gave up the company and married you instead?” Why would he ask me such a thing all of a sudden? Was he really planning on giving up the company? I can’t let him do that; all these will be for nothing if Easton gives up the company! My phone vibrated, and I picked it up reluctantly. It was a message from Broody. “Tick tock, dear daughter. I’m running out of patience.” I clenched my fist the moment I read the message. It all makes sense now! Easton was not planning on giving up the company; he must have asked me that because he was suspicious of me. It has to be Broody’s doing! My body tensed up immediately. What did Broody say to Easton this time? That old swindler has really become a thorn in my flesh! I stared at the message, thinking of possible ways to deal with this quickly. I need to get ri

  • Dear Ex, Come Back With My Baby   I ONLY WANT YOU

    MIRABELLA'S POV I watched in silence as the old man got rushed into the emergency unit. He had lost consciousness the moment we arrived at the hospital. The police arrived almost immediately, as I had called them prior to our arrival, and Roman had gone ahead to talk with them while I stayed with Alfred. “Who is that old man, mummy?” Alfred asked when we were seated in the waiting room. “I don’t know, sweetheart, but I hope he’s okay.” I responded. Roman joined us shortly. “Any news from the doctor?” He asked, and I shook my head in negativity. “He is still in the operating room. What did the police say?” I asked curiously. “They said they'd look into the case and try to find the man's family.” Roman responded, and I bobbed my head. The doctor finally came out of the operating room, and I stood up immediately, eager to know how the old man was doing. “How is he, doctor?” I asked with a worried expression. “He is one lucky man to have survived after losing so much blood.

  • Dear Ex, Come Back With My Baby   THE POLICE REPORT

    ***EASTON'S POV***I felt a gentle tap on my shoulder and slowly raised my head up from the table. A small smile tugged at the corner of my lips when I saw Mirabella's face. She was dressed in just sweat pants and a hoodie and yet she still looked beautiful with her hair parked in a loose bun, allowing some strands to fall at the corner of her face.“Easton, are you alright?” Mirabella asked in a soft tone, laced with worry. I wasn't sure if it was the effect of the alcohol but at that moment, I felt like taking hold of her hand and never letting go. I guess deep down, I knew my greatest mistake was letting her go and now she was far beyond my reach.“Come on, let's get you home.” Mirabella said this and tried to help me up but I held her hand instead, and gave it a gentle caress. Her hand felt perfect in mine, and I realized that this was actually the first time I had held her so tenderly since our marriage. I had neglected her a lot during our marriage, I barely looked her way, and

  • Dear Ex, Come Back With My Baby   NOW OR NEVER

    ***NICOLE'S POV***I quickly grabbed my purse and dashed out of the house the moment Easton's car drove out of the premises. I had waited patiently for him to leave for work so he wouldn't insist on driving me to my location.He had offered to take me to the hospital earlier but I declined, insisting that he had to go to work and I didn't want him to miss his meeting because of me. That was half truth. My main reason was because I needed to pick up something before heading to the hospital.If Broody is still alive, then I must make sure he stays silent. I was lucky enough to have escaped being seen by Mirabella the other day, if Broody should regain his consciousness and tell anyone what happened, then it'll be over for the both of us.I quickly called a cab and gave him the address of where I was heading. It was an abandoned warehouse and the best place to meet without being seen by anyone I know.I quickly paid the driver and alighted the vehicle the moment we reached. I brought ou

  • Dear Ex, Come Back With My Baby   AN ADVANTAGE

    ***NICOLE'S POV***“Miss, can I please see your hands?” I froze at the nurse's request, but I quickly composed myself and stylishly tucked the syringe into the pocket of my jeans then I stretched my hands to her.“Is something wrong?” I asked with furrowed brows.The nurse blinked severally, her expression that of uncertainty “Oh, I'm sorry about that. Who are you?” She asked, her gaze still lingering on my hands.“His daughter.” I responded firmly. “Is there something you need?” I asked her with a slight frown.“My apologies, miss. I just came to check his vitals.” The nurse said as she walked around to where I stood. I swiftly moved out of her way, making sure not to turn my back to her until I was at the door.“Thank you so much for taking good care of him. I'll visit again soon.” I said with a faint smile and the nurse gave me a nod and then began checking his drip settings and his vitals.I quickly left the room, heaving a sigh. Broody might have gotten lucky today, but I'll be

  • Dear Ex, Come Back With My Baby   ALL FOR THE BEST

    ***MIRABELLA'S POV***“Well ma'am, you have nothing much to worry about. All his tests came out clean.” The nurse said with a smile as she handed the results to me.I stared at the sheets, feeling a bit confused. “But what about his fever?” I asked worriedly. I had rushed Alfred to the hospital the moment I noticed he had a fever, as I didn't want to take any chances. I couldn't stand seeing him get sick, I couldn't stand seeing him sad or in any form of pain.“Well it's normal for kids to develop a fever without any serious medical cause. These fevers are benign and often go away in less than two to three days.” The nurse explained.“So you're saying he's fine?” I asked, my voice laced with uncertainty.“Yes, just keep him hydrated, make sure he's dressed comfortably and keep monitoring his temperature. If it persists then we can run more tests.” She explained and ruffled Alfred's hair with a warm smile on her face.“Take care, kiddo.” She said to him before leaving the room.I tur

  • Dear Ex, Come Back With My Baby   THE BUSINESS TRIP

    ***MIRABELLA'S POV***I had just settled down in my office when I heard a knock on the door.“Come in.” I ushered and the door swung open, revealing Lola, my secretary.“Mr. Anderson is here to see you, ma'am.” Lola informed me and I gave her a slight nod.“Let him in.” She leaves the office and soon enough, the door opens again, revealing a well dressed man with a deep scowl on his face.“Mr. Anderson,” I greeted, standing up to shake his hand. “Please, take a seat.”Mr Anderson sank into the chair across from my desk, his face still contorted in anger. “I have been wronged, Ms. Brookwood,” He said, his voice tight with frustration. “I have been cheated out of my hard-earned money.”“I see.” I responded, nodding gravely. “Can you tell me what happened?” “I entered into a contract with a local business to supply them with materials for a construction project," Mr. Anderson explained, his voice growing more agitated. ”But they've refused to pay me for my services."“How much do they

  • Dear Ex, Come Back With My Baby   THE KISS

    ~SANDY~ I ruffled my hair, feeling a bit frustrated. I pushed all thoughts of Alfred at the back of my mind as I came out of the bathroom. “Long time no see.” I froze on hearing that familiar masculine voice and slowly turned my head towards my bed. I widened my eyes in shock on seeing Alfred comfortably lying on my bed. “Alfred! What the hell are you doing in my room?!” I snapped as I tightened my grip on my towel. He sat up on the bed and turned to me, and I didn't fail to notice how his gaze raked over my body but his expression remained blank. “I figured you wouldn't come to see me so I decided to take the initiative.” He replied while staring intently at me. If only he knew the effect those hazel-green eyes had on me. Why did he have to show up now of all times? “Alfred, get out of my room.” I said, trying to be as calm as possible, however I didn't move an inch from where I stood. I dared not move for the fear of tripping and dropping my towel. “You have never had a

He's not even around and your locker is still flooding with love letters.” Hailey, my best friend said and let out a sigh. “It's not like he ever reads them.” I responded as I brought out my sports wear, putting it in my bag before stacking the letters back into my locker. “It must be stressful having such a hot brother.” Hailey remarked with a smirk but I understood exactly where she was going with that. “It's too early, Hailey.” I said with a sigh as I began walking towards the changing room with Hail

Next, we went to a five star restaurant and had all the best cuisine they had to offer. By the time we got back to our hotel, it was almost midnight. “Gosh that was amazing! I can't remember when last I had this much fun.” I squeaked and Easton chuckled. “I'll run you a bath and then we could call it a night.” He said and I frowned slightly. “Call it a night?” “You must be exhausted from our tour. And it's really late, so I think —” “I think we should both take a shower. How about that?” I said with a smirk and Easton chuckled. “You still think you can handle it?” He asked as he closed the space between us, wrapping his arms possessively around my waist. “Try me.” I responded, holding his gaze. He smirked as he slowly leaned down, connecting our lips. He cupped my face with one hand as he kissed me tenderly, nibbing and

It was his sixth birthday today and we had all gathered to cheer him on.“Go on, Alfred. Blow out your candles.” Mom said with a bright smile.“Don't forget to make a wish.” I added and he bobbed his head.“What did you wish for, sweetheart?” I asked with a smile after he blew out his candles, and he beamed before responding.“I wished that you would marry Daddy.” I felt my cheeks burn on hearing his words, however, I wasn't prepared for what happened next.Easton suddenly brought out a ring from his pocket as he got down on one knee.“Mirabella, I know things didn't go well between us in our first marriage, and I know you might not want to marry me because of that, but I promise, this time would be different.

He has been coming here for over a month now even when I kept putting him off.“Do you think I get paid enough to be a messenger? Just see the man already so he can stop coming here!” The guard snapped and I slowly got up from my head.“Fine.” I responded and he opened my cell. He led me towards the phone booth and I reluctantly took a seat, picking up the phone.“What do you want, Lionel?” I asked, trying my best not to roll my eyes at his pitiful face.“I came to check up on you.” He responded and I scoffed.“Shouldn't you be more worried about your other children? They did get hurt after all.” I said with a scoff."If you're concerned about them, then know that they are fine. It's been almost two months since the whole incident, and everyone has moved on. I'm hoping you would too."I scoffed at his words.
