________
I slipped on a black jean trouser and a white sneakers. Since it was quite cold these days, I topped my tank top with a grey sweater. Today, I decided to leave my long dark hair to fall. I didn't always have to keep it in a ponytail. After adding lip gloss to my lips, I stepped out of the closet, heading to the kitchen.
"Sup, girl?" I greeted Claire. Hearing my voice, she spun around, smiled at me, and dropped a slice of pizza on the empty plate in front of me.
"How was your night? I hope you weren't affected by what had to happen last night?" She asked, fretting.
"Worrywart. I've forgotten about that. Well, thanks to your brother." I ate from my pizza. "And seriously, I'm still surprised that he's your brother. I ought to break your teeth for lying to me about your last name."
She chuckled, sat on the s

"Don't touch me." I gritted my teeth.He sighed, stepped backwards, still smiling. Rubbing his right palm against his forehead, he set his gaze at me. "You seriously have to stop acting this way," he said.I dropped my hands on my waist. "You wanna keep blaming me?""No, no," he rebuked. "It's just that I kind of think you're being quite judgemental. I wasn't angry because you said those things about my mood and all. I was angry because…""Because?" I raised an eyebrow."Nevermind. I don't wanna say it. I'm sorry."I rolled my eyes, moved my arms to my chest. "Alright. I'll take that. But seriously, I hate it. Stop venting your frustration on me. It isn't nice.""I'll change, ma'am. This boy's still learning." He winked."Then learn fast. It's gross that you keep on being too cold. Don't

Strolling on the silent street, I couldn't help but weep. To be honest, this was a really really sad moment for me. And from the way I seemed so emotional, it kind of seemed like— No. It wasn't possible. There was no way I felt anything for that man. I had gone over my feelings a long time ago. I sniffed, rubbed off the ugly tears from my cheek, and walked into Claire's small compound. Taking a deep breath, I knocked on the door. I particularly tried to act fine because I didn't want her to be worried.Soon, she opened the door. "Ady!" She exclaimed, worry plastering all through her. "Why are you home this late? Did something happen to you?""Oh, sorry for that." I walked in, dropped my bag on the couch, and twirled around to face her. "I had to do some important things. I'm fine. Nothing happened.""You're sure?" She shoved my hands into hers. "I mean, you look… tired. Did something happen? Have you been…" she scrunched her face. "Crying?"I chuckled anxiously, pulled away from her

"What?" A word finally spilled from his mouth."Yes," I replied sharply. "If that's what you need to know in order to leave her, then yes, that's the truth. We're together. She belongs to me."He closed his mouth, swallowed, moved his eyes to Adrienne. "Is this true, Ady?" He asked her.She kept quiet. Turning my neck to look at her, I was surprised to see her staring at me. She glared so much, tears welled in her eyes. The anger I saw in her eyes was as if she got hit by an extinguisher. Was she going to spare me?"No," she bit out. "He isn't telling the truth."I widened my eyes. "What? What are—"She jerked her hand from mine, fixed her gaze at Dave. A tear rolled from her eye, and she swallowed."He's right in saying we used to be a married couple, but that's not it anymore," she uttered, sounding quite angered. Her

Adrienne________A thick pain brushed at the back of my head as I laid on my bed. It felt as if a laden was thrown on my body. I was almost glued to the bed. Gradually, I began to sit up, using my fingers to press the keen pain that teased from my head to my neck region."Claire?" I mumbled, shutting my eyes, still half asleep. "Are you there?"Noticing I didn't get a response, I slowly opened my eyes. Scrolling my eyes through the place, I observed she wasn't in here."Oh, shit!" I cursed underneath my breath, the pain aggravating.Groaning a little, I grabbed my phone from the side table, dialed Claire's number. I could step out of the room to get a Tylenol myself, but I was too tired for that.The moment I clicked the call button, the door opened up. Good for me, it was her.She walked in, holding a tray

It was four o'clock in the evening. A lot of students were in the hallway, probably planning to be on their way home. I walked with Tessa, holding a bunch of textbooks in my arm."Have you heard anything from your project mate?" She asked.I shook my head. "I'm not sure, but I think he's sick.""Is he aware that the project has been extended?"Taking a turn to the next hallway, I sighed. "No. I guess he'll know about that when he resumes.""He better resumes soon." She smiled warmly. "You guys need to start working really harder. It seems like you haven't been able to properly work on your project for a couple of days. Maybe you should visit him or something. If he's sick, you can both try to work at his place, right?"I let out a shaky chuckle. "Sure. I haven't thought of that before. Maybe that's what I'll do.""Hey, ladies.

"I don't think we're doing the right thing. Don't you think he still needs some time alone?" I suggested to Claire as we walked into Sebastian's big compound.She slapped my back, frowned a little. "If you ruin this, no dinner for you anymore. He doesn't need to be alone. He's literally been alone for too long. Are you nervous?"Oh. She got me."Yes," I confessed.She gasped, slapped my back again. "How can you be nervous? He loves you, doesn't he? When I wanna deal with Dave, I don't get nervous."I rolled my eyes. "Whatever. Dave is really nice, ok? Sebastian is clearly different."We reached the huge door that led to the inside of his house, stood in front of it, stared at each other."Forget about the niceness. All guys are the same, huh?" She took her time to get her door card from her purse. I totally forget

Sipping on my coffee, I took my phone from the center table in the living room, stood up from the couch, then walked to the kitchen to join Claire in there."You're cooking?"Why did I ask her that? Of course, she was always cooking. She would obviously give me a sarcastic answer. I hated that as shit."Yeah," she replied. Oops, I judge her too quickly. She wasn't being sarcastic.I stepped into the kitchen, hopped to sit on the counter. "What are we— oh, shit. I won't be able to have dinner with you. I'll be off to Sebastian's house soon. Since we've got a lot of things to work on, I might have to sleep at his house tonight, again."She had her back on me, so I couldn't see her facial expression. But the moment I had mentioned that, she gasped, lingered her hands in the air, switched off the cooker, then turned around to face me with widened eyes. I

Sitting in the college's library with Sebastian, I raked my fingers into my hair, dropped my forehead on the desk, and sighed."You're fine?" Sebastian asked, but I didn't raise my neck to look at him."I'm exhausted," I replied. "This project is getting on my nerves. It's too hard. I should have just gone to a normal University. I didn't know this course would end up being so difficult to understand."He chuckled. "Maybe you should get some rest, huh?"I raised my head, leaned my elbow on the desk, and exhaled. "That's easy for you to say. You're successful and rich."He smiled and pinched my cheek. "That doesn't matter, chic. And oh, I've been wanting to say you look really cute today.""Thank you, sir." I rolled my eyes at him.His phone rang from the desk. Taking it, he picked it up immediately.

Months later…"Thank you so much!" I exclaimed. Standing up from the well furnished chair, I heaved a deep sigh, smiled from ear to ear. "I'm so happy to finally be a partner of this company. Thanks for accepting my proposal."Mr. Roland, the CEO of one of the most reputable companies in New York, stood up from his seat. Stretching his hand for a handshake, he returned my smile. "Congratulations. We hope to get great results from you," he said."I'll try my best." I took his hand. After our friendly handshake, I grabbed my purse from the glass that separated Mr. Roland and I, made my way out of his office, then out of the building.Closing my eyes, I inhaled the beautiful air of that afternoon, then smiled on opening them. Today wasn't my birthday alone, it was also my lucky day. First, the doctor had confirmed I was pregnant. And second, the company I wanted to wo

Mom stared blankly at Sebastian and I. All I hoped was for her to accept this relationship. Well, there was a probability she'd accept it. She always said God forgives us for our sins, so we should learn to forgive others.Her eyes moved to Sebastian, then to me. "How did this get to happen?" I couldn't grasp the particular emotion on her face. She widened her mouth, looked at me. "How did he even get here? Am I the only one who finds this weird?""Ma, I used to think that too." I glimpsed at Sebastian, took his hand in mine, and smiled. "But I think fate purposely sent him to me. Whatever's meant for you, is meant for you."She sighed. "Honey, are you sure this is fine? I mean, I don't want you to… you know, have a heartbreak again."I could feel Sebastian wasn't comfortable with this conversation, so I just chuckled. "It'll be fine. I trust him now. And besides, we're so in love now. O

Ethan stared at me like he was confused. He blinked four times, dropped his mouth. He wanted to speak, but it was as if something cut his throat."Seriously?!" He finally spoke, shock in his tone. "How did you guys break up? Wh-What happened?""I was stupid again," I mumbled. "I said I didn't trust him. So, can you please help me talk to him? Claire's not willing to help me do that.""Oh." He scratched the back of his neck, stood up from the couch. "It's quite late. I don't know if he's asleep.""Ah, oh!" I gasped, leaped from my seat, and looked so worried. "Did he drink alcohol?"He pressed his lips against each other, shook his head no."Good." I sighed in relief. Staring back at him, I batted my eyelashes, pulled a childish pout. "Go, please. He always listens to you, huh?"He chuckled. "Just go by yourself. And besides,"

Claire_____"Right now…" Sebastian scoffed, bit his lips. "I'd rather stay with a pig, than come close to you. You're gross."After stating that to the damn mother-fucking Lauretta lady, he walked away, leaving her to gape. She muttered some things, glared at herself, rolled up her fingers into a fist.Angered, I scorned silently, and sauntered to her. "Hey, bitcho."Hearing my voice, she turned to me. With lowered brows, she gazed at me. "What? Who the heck are you?" She spat out."Claire Martinez." A smirk grew on my lips. I was flustered, but I just had to keep calm before I'd end up killing her."Oh. You're his sister?" She flared her nostrils, curved her ugly arms around her chest."Yes, bitch. His sister, and his helper. I—""You don't even look like the sister of tha

I tightened my fist, glared at Lauretta, felt the need to hit her. When she had taken a glimpse sideways, I knew she had been up to something. She had probably seen Adrienne coming, so she had decided to pick up and act. But what was she going to gain from this?Tugging her arm, I yanked her close. "Did you do this on purpose?""Maybe." Her lips flipped up into a sneer."Why?" My voice was low, rough and weak. I was scared. So scared. Adrienne had said she “knew it”. What exactly did she know? Had she been doubting me? Had she— It was better to not think about that right now.She licked her lips, slowly raised her fingers to caress my jaw line. "Did I say anything wrong, huh? I'm truly tired of having to wait for you. This is the second time I've come to Florida. Why can't you see I want you? You've stopped giving me money, but that's not just it. I want you."&nb

He stared hard. Reading his eyes, I saw hurt in them. Not just hurt, disappointment as well. It was as if he wasn't expecting this at all."What?" That left his lips in a whisper.I swallowed, and nodded. "That's it, Dave. Stop trying to get close to me. You like me, but I don't like you. Sebastian isn't the same person he used to be, so I decided to give him a chance. Stop causing a problem in my life by trying to get close. I don't want to feel sad for rejecting you. I… don't like you as a lover," I uttered.For a moment, his gaze was more intense. It felt like he didn't want to stop staring at all. What the heck was he looking at? The brown color of my eyes?His throat moved, up and down, then he stepped backwards. Lowering his head, his fingers rolled up into a fist. "I'm sorry for having to get close to you.""It's not a problem. You—"&

Finally, she removed the test result from the envelope. For a moment, she stared at it comprehensively, and then, she sighed. "Oh, God," she muttered, dropping her hand on her chest. It was as if she was shocked, as well, it was as if she was relieved. What was the result?"Ma?" I tapped her shoulder. "What does it say?"Again, she sighed, stood up, and turned around to look at me. "It's negative." There was a smile on her face. I wanted to smile back at her, but I just couldn't. If I did, it would hurt Dave. Dave had once told me how important his locket was. He had said it made him feel like he wasn't so lonely as he truly was. He had said he never saw his mother, but she was close to his heart. So, now that this had to happen, wouldn't he be hurt that the woman he thought was his mom, wasn't? Ah, shit, why him?He stood up from his seat, looking quite hurt. Mom probably noticed how sad he looked, so she cupped his hands in hers. "Hey, dear." She smiled warmly at him. "I know h

Adrienne_______Seeing how worried Dave seemed, I kind of felt disturbed. He looked tense and pale. In fact, his head was turning red. What could possibly be wrong with him?"Dave? Are you fine?" I asked again, but still, there was no reply from him. All he did was stare intently at mom. His mouth was dropped as well, his eyes broadly open. I saw tears in his eyes, and that worried me more."Adrienne," Mom called. She probably noticed him too.I turned to her, furrowed my eyebrows. "Yes, ma?""Is your friend okay?" I saw some kind of disturbance in her eyes.I sighed, turned to him. Taking a step closer, I tapped his arm, which made him flinch. "What's wrong? Why aren't you saying anything?""A-Ady," he stuttered, finally looking at me. "A-are you sure she's your mom? Are you…" he swallowed, not saying any
