The police didn’t waste their time. They came in first thing in the morning. Of course, for now, I kept the note hidden. I just wanted to get this over with. Involving the police there was the last thing that I wanted to do experience.They asked me to wait in the room with plain white walls and a mirror at the front. So that’s what they call an interrogation room. I wait there for a while with a feeling that I was being constantly monitored. After a few minutes or so, this police officer comes in with a mug. He placed it in front of me while sitting in his chair.“Some coffee. I thought you might need it. We called in early, I know. But I hope you understand this is how case procedures go.” He says.I smile and nod, trying to keep my secrets to myself.“First, I’m Rick Anderson. I do the questioning around here.”“Please, Feel comfortable. Think of it as a simple chat of trying to get to know each other. The only difference is, I want to know what and why Ms Polinski would do such a
“What do you mean... your case?”“That’s all you need to know.”He keeps his focus on driving again. I was getting a lot anxious now. I get why he would keep something a secret, but, Why not just tell me? He hasn’t even forced me to sign an NDA, so I guess I was a trustworthy person. Right now, I couldn’t just take this trauma. Most of the time, I felt like I was with a stranger.“Stop the car,” I commanded Ethan.“What?”“Stop. The. Car.”Ethan does and I get out of it, and he follows up with me, too.“Where are you doing?” He asks.“Home.”“It’s raining, Ms May. Please. Get in the car. I’ll drive you.”“No!”I walk away, and he grabs my arm slowly, preventing me from storming away from him. I turned to look at him and all I could feel is, him genuinely stopping me. Asking me to stay for a while. Like he needed me.“Leave me, Ethan.” I avoid eye contact.“What do you want me to say? Angelica? What exactly can I say for you to come with me?”“The truth maybe? Ethan. I feel like I don’
“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to..I...”“It doesn’t matter now.”He carefully snatched the box from my hands and gazed into it.“I’m gonna go. I called my driver. He’s already outside.” Ethan says.“What about your?..”“He brought some spare clothes, Ms May. Thank you for the shake.”He walks out of his room as I follow behind him. Ethan opens the door and I could have a glimpse of a man standing with an umbrella. Just as he watches Ethan coming towards him, He opens the car door and grabs a spare shirt, giving it to him.Ethan wears it and goes inside the car in the passenger seat while the other guy, in driving. And they drove off. Ethan didn’t even look at me before going. I close the door behind me and I lean into it.“Ethan had a fiance? If he did.”“Where is she, now?”It was getting a lot late, so I just went back to sleep. I guess the rain is getting to me. I wasn’t feeling all that good. Sure Angelica, for you, walking in the rain is dramatic, huh? Now see what you did to yoursel
“Hey, talk to me?” I say to Nat.She shook her head and looked directly at me once again.“I’m sorry, I’m just on a lot of painkillers and I can’t seem to keep my head straight.”“I guess I just...”“You..?”“I just want my best friend back again, Angie. I just want you back, just like the way we were before. Never fighting, always laughing and teasing each other. Even when times were hard, we never ever left each other’s sight no matter how hard the situation was. I just want those days back.”“I’m sorry.. sight,. I’m in no position to ask this from you right now. I mean.. I should be happy that you’re even talking to me right now, so.. Forget what I just said. I’m all over the place right now.”Not saying another word, I grab her hand with both of mine and I smile.“We can have all that again, Nat. You are my best friend and trust me, if something happened to you? I would come up to where you would go just to tell you that you’re a bitch.”We both laugh and she started coughing.“Sl
Why.. Why would she lie to me? I mean...Nat? Attempting suicides again and again? I don’t believe it. I just don’t. At first, I thought maybe I should respect her privacy and just let it go.But will she tell me the truth about.… this? You don’t ask a convict why you killed that stranger for no reason. There’s only a 0.00001% chance one of them would tell the tale.But Nat? I don’t know. Maybe I’m just overthinking it all over again. But I needed to know. Reading her diary may help prevent this from happening in the future. If I could just find out the reason.I flip the pages, and at first, I couldn’t find shit. I turned and turned and turned and there wasn’t anything that already didn’t know. I was nearly about to give up when I finally read this. The day we were going to shop together. When I...Dear Diary.Today, Angelica and I went shopping together. We stopped by a coffee shop where the guy server was eying her and asked for Angelica’s number. I wanted to stop their conversation
Jonathan quickly pulled up his almost-down jeans, and I wore my shirt. We both looked at Nat, confused and embarrassed. We thought she was still sleeping and couldn’t have known, but because Nat was awake and she just stood there, watching us get dressed.Jonathan and I got obviously startled and started getting dressed.“Natalia, I didn’t know you were awake.”“I wasn’t. But I just heard some noises from your room, so I went to check up on you.”Noises? We were so silent about doing stuff. How could she possibly hear noises? This wasn’t possible, it was too.. I don’t know... creepy?“I think I should get back to my place,” Jonathan said, trying to break the silence.“I’ll escort you out,” I say. “Do you need something else, Nat? Juice? Sandwich?”“No, thank you.” She looked directly at Jonathan with demon eyes, literally scaring both of us.“We should all hang out someday,” she says.It was so fucked up. She never reacted the way she was reacting right now. It felt like I was living
“Are you sure you’re going to be okay?” I ask Nat while I pass her a glass of juice and drink my own.“I’m going to be fine, Angie. Don’t worry.”“Call me if something goes sideways, okay? No matter where I’ll come back.”“Got it, Mom, Now go, earn and spend all your money on me.”“Sure, Ms universe.”I walk back to my room to get changed and freshen up for work. Suddenly my eyes fall on the drawer in which I kept Nat’s journal. I should probably place it back to where it was. The least I want to do is cause another fight between us.--Beep beep--Greetings.You have an appointment with Doctor Herbert at 4:30 AM.We hope only well for you and your loved ones.Have a good day.Finally, I got an appointment with the doc. I had to ask about Nat’s unusual behaviour. There might be something I could do to make it better.Before I went downstairs, I grabbed the journal and carefully went into Nat’s room and placed it where I took it from. Suddenly I heard her coming back to her room, and I
“Ethan. I know I can’t force you into anything. But I need to know who you are. I will not ask you every day about your lovely or terrible past or even about who you are. What we can do is take one step at a time. I share something about me, you do the same. Slowly. This won’t mean anything if we don’t do that.”“We may adjust to the start, but later, you know what’ll happen. And I kinda don’t want to leave this job so.”We both giggled a little as he cupped and kissed my forehead.“Can you try?” I ask, looking into his eyes, pleading.“I can try.”“Thank you, Ethan.”He smiled and locked his lips on me before breaking our interlocked action. He bit my lower lip, filling me with electricity and pushing me away.“Get back to work now,” he said playfully and in a deep voice.I laugh and I walk out of the office.I guess I should probably check on Nat. While sitting back in my office, I took out my phone texting her.“How’s my guardian?”“She’s alright, watching a movie, a spooky one.”“
“Oh, I...I can’t believe it,” It was true. The pain, the tension and the unbearable mood swings. After Angel was born, it was all worth it.I forgot about it all. As soon as I held her in my arms.“Now, baby, the doctors are going to take her away for a second, okay? They need to make sure she’s healthy. Can you do that?” Ethan says in a whimpering, smooth voice.“I..Okay. But please ask them to be... gentle with her. Please.”“I know, baby, they will be. Trust me, okay?”“Okay, okay. Here,” I pass Angel to the nurse and she wraps her around her arms safely.“I can’t believe she’s finally here, Ethan. I can’t believe it.”“Mrs Cooper, we need to run some tests on you too, and I’m afraid we have to do it right now.”“Okay, Okay,” I say, and Ethan looks a little concerned about me. He just saw me giving birth. It was valid.“I’ll be fine, Ethan. I promise. Please watch over at Angel. She needs to be with her father right now. Please, can you?..”“Okay, Okay. I’ll be back, okay? I love y
I was only a few days before I go into labour. My moods were swinging like a cursed wheel. Always going around.Mai and the others held a small get-together for me. Ethan’s friends and all of mine were there. The small celebration was simple, yet so lovely. Some of Ethan’s friends, do have kids too. So it was nice being around there, before time.”I can’t believe I’m about to be an aunt, Anna. I’m so excited.” Mai says while jumping and clapping her hands.“Oh, trust me, I wasn’t sure about going through with it at first. But who am I to question the beauty of birth?”“You’re right, having a baby changes everything. Not to mention a massive load of spending expenses carefully, but I guess that won’t be a problem for you.”“Oh, yeah. Not because we don’t care about the expenses. Ethan and I decided to treat our daughter not too extra and not too low. We don’t want her to be raised like a spoiled kid of a billionaire daughter.“”Well, if you don’t spoil her, I will,” Hailey added, laugh
I drove back home and found Ethan working on some papers.“You’re back,” he says, but his eyes were fixed on the files. “I thought girls’ day out would take you 50 years to come back.”“It wasn’t a girls’ day out, Ethan.“ I say as I walked behind him and held him close in my arms.“What do you mean?” He asks.”I went to see Natalia.”Ethan instantly stopped everything he was doing and spun his body towards me.“What the hell are you talking about? And you’re telling me this just now?!” He says in a growling manner.”Baby, I know that I never told you about this. I should have. But I knew always in my heart how you would react if I asked you.““Yes, because you and I are well aware of what she did, Anna. How long has this been going on?”“I don’t want to meet her Daily, Ethan.“ I say in a simple tone and walked over to him. I held Ethan’s hand tightly in mine.“I know it’s a girl, Ethan. I know.” I say, smiling at him.“You checked the fi-““Nat told me.”“How did she know?”“She actua
--4 months later--“Well, the good sign is the baby is safe and sound. Everything is A-okay,” said Doctor Bruno.“Oh, I...I can’t believe how happy I am to hear this, Doc.” I say.“I know you must be feeling overwhelmed. It’s good. But you should keep a good diet. I would recommend some procedures in case of cramps, and if you need anything else later in the future, please, feel free to contact me anytime.”“Thank you doc, we appreciate it,” I say, and Ethan helps me get up.“Ahem, Uh....Don’t you want to know the gender of the baby?”“You can tell this soon?” I ask Doc and look straight towards Ethan. He gave me a confused and excited look. Ethan wanted to know if the baby was a girl or a boy. He just wanted to be prepared for anyone.“I..I don’t think we should.” I say, and Ethan gives me a cranky look as if he were a child himself.“It’s alright. Many parents decide not to know the gender of the baby until the day of the delivery. It sure is a gift from god. And I’ve seen it go exc
“What are you talking about?” I ask Ethan once again.“Just…come,”I get it. Ethan was frustrated by my behaviour. I mean, I would blame myself too. He was doing everything he could just to make me happy, and I was only giving him a thousand fucks.I get up, straighten myself and cover my damn body with some decent clothes and I walk down the stairs to meet this ‘lawyer’.At first, he was turning his back on me, so I couldn’t know who he was.“Mr Wilson, please to meet you,” I say. As soon as I do, he turns back to look straight at me.“Hello, Anna,” he says, and he looked too fucking familiar. He had this mixed emotions on his face, both angry and emotional. I wouldn’t know which one was the genuine one.“Please, sit,” I say and we both settle down on the couch. He opens up his carry bag and takes out some papers.“What’s all this?““Possessions, Ms-“”It’s…Mrs Cooper.”“Right, Mrs Cooper. these are the possessions your mother left you,”I smile at him, mocking the way he was present
After our sick honeymoon, which was both what I needed and fucked in health issues. We go back to California. The first meeting I had was with Mai.Ethan had to go to the office to do some stuff, so Mai came after her work. She came straight to our place and…”Okay, when was the last date?” She asks.I stay silent because it was fucking 2 weeks ago. It didn’t even come to my mind that there’s a natural way of your body telling you, you’re not fucking pregnant.My silence was enough to tell her it was a long time before I had my date.“Oh, Anna. Have you told Ethan yet?” Mai asks in a soothing tone.“No, not yet. And I fucking won’t till I’m not sure what to do about this situation.”“He deserves to know, Anna. He loves you. So it won’t be hard for him to listen to this if you’re okay.”“How can you be so sure, Mai? He’s Ethan fucking Cooper. Magazines declared him a fucking playboy billionaire humping bimbos for sport. This won’t be the life he needed right now. It’s too soon.”“Hell,
The first day and first night of our honeymoon was mostly raw animal sex. Well, I did expect that. We were laying in bed together after we partied and ate dinner. Ethan was holding me close in my arms when I realised I was having a…nightmare.There was this woman, this mid-40s old woman, looking at me. She wasn’t looking so good. I was a kid, and I was hiding under a table. She was trying to say something but I couldn’t understand what. I kept asking her where were you?But how could I ask her questions like these when I didn’t even know her? Finally, she became accessible to my ears.“I..I’ll find you, baby girl. Don’t worry, I’ll find you.”“M-will come back.”“Mommy will come back,”Mommy? Suddenly, we hear a loud thump and my father comes in, drunk as always.“Where the fuck were you, you stupid cow? Still….f*cking that bastard for money, eh? Come here you…””Noooooooo.””Hey..hey…I’m here. Hey!”I wake up and find Ethan trying to calm me down. He held me close in his arms, protec
It was the day of the wedding. I was getting dressed with my bridesmaids. It was funny that I didn’t have any family left to attend to this loveliest day of my life. But I guess it was alright. I did have a family I chose.I slipped into my gown, and the makeup artist does the rest of the work.“You look so beautiful, Anna,” Hailey states, covering her mouth in appreciation and wiping off tears.“Thank you, Hailey. It means a lot.””So, nervous yet? Do you need to run? I can open that bathroom window for you if you’re having second thoughts.” Mai mocks me.”Oh, shut up. I’m not having second thoughts. In fact, I’ve never been so sure about anything else before. Ethan is the man that I love, and I do want to spend the rest of my life with him.””Uh uh, save this for the vows, sweety,” Stella reverts.“Hey, where are the ushers? We are supposed to be with them in 10 minutes!“ Jay asked.“They’re gonna be here soon. Don’t worry about it,” Hailey says.And finally, after a long chitchat,
Instantly, the sexiest cute-ass men come up the stairs with their shirts tied to their waists and bottles of wine and vodka.“Oh, my god, guys!”2 of them bring a chair for me to sit and they play some music, literally strip dancing in front of me.“Hey, what about Ethan?” I ask Mai.“Oh, he’s having his own party.”“What?!”“Chill out look where you at!”The girls hand me the bag of the dress they wanted me to wear and I change into them within seconds. I come out and see Hailey and Jay holding a big d*ck-shaped pinata.“What the fuck is this?” I say, laughing.“Get a roll on girl, this is all yours!”I laugh like hell as we all drink our first shot and then another and another. Soon I knew I was Hella drunk.The guys forced me to sit on the chair, and well, they began their show. Every single one of them was giving us the time we never thought we’ll get from anyone.Hailey was totally drooling over two unbelievably sexy guys. Jay was enjoying herself too, And Mai? Well, she was the
