The busy and bustling cool city of Albany, at the far end of the bypass, Isabella walks on the path that has been lightened up by tall city lights. The cool evening breeze flushes on her warm make-up face as she exhales softly in relief, she has made it to day three after avoiding the mentally disordered old lady for the third time.

Isabella’s leg starts wobbling because of constant standing during working hours, she feels like sitting down and taking a deep breath but the street bench is still far from her.

Stumbling on a tiny stone on the gravel street, Isabella staggers and spins, aiming to fall but a strong stout arm catches her before she reaches the ground, her vision goes unclear for a second.

“James…” she whispered faintly as the cool music “I Know You by Skylar Grey” begins playing in the background.

Isabella drinks the bottle water heartily on the bench that she is sitting with James as she sighed.

“You had a long day, I guess.” he figured with a loving voice.

    Chase bank is always bubbling with several official activities. Mia sits on a wooden-like metal chair and far across her is Mr. Park. The room they are occupying is a mini-vast empty room occasionally used for interviews and it’s well painted with light gray.“You are so lucky. Mr. Liam has already stopped recruiting.” Park informs her, sounding as if he wasn’t pleased about the turn ups.“At least he listened to the lady he claims never to have feelings for.” she snorts annoyingly and Park smirks.“Let’s move along.” He adjusted his seat.“Mr. Liam asked me to give you the right to choose any position you feel you can perfectly fit into.” he informs her politely.“I think I would love to become the Chief Executive Officer, so he would become broken and listen to my dear sister’s heart cry.” she said bluntly with her tone filled with sarcasm, he shakes his head in disbelief.“You should at least respect him for one reason.” he said seriously.“Which is?” She raised a bro looking unint

    A club without music is an? This riddles will be left incomplete but a clubbing with Liam is expected to be “Hay, Hay,and Hay.” as Mia would say.The description of the bar was too twisted and enchanting but the Fuze box night club was full of life as crowd yells in excitement, drink drunkenly, dance crazily and make friends abruptly.The constant changing club lights continues blinking thereby giving light to the club in bits. The table is having both empty and full tumblers with Grand Master, Flirt, Vodka, Tequila and numerous alcoholic drinks, Amber hits the tumbler hardly on the table as the light flickers on their faces, she grits her teeth.“This is a very good news, Mia.

    Mia and Isabella requested that we go for a short vacation, which I saw as the best location to share the news with them and also enjoy a short break away from work.“The sweaters are in the red box.” Isabella said.“Very good. Have you contacted the driver?” Mia asked while I focused on my phone, I was in the middle of it.“Yes, he is in the next street.” I informed them as we dragged our luggage out of the room.The ride came and drove us down to the airport.“I can’t believe this is happening, are we really going to Hawaii?” Isabella shook her head and I smiled.“I can’t spend all my paycheck alone. Liam keeps on increasing my salary, what should I do?” I raised a brow sarcastically and they laughed.“It’s to spend them all!” Mia squealed and we laughed.“You and Liam? What’s going on? I noticed there is no lady blocking this time.” Mia asked after a brief minute of silence and I smirked.“What do you mean?” I blushed shyly, taking my face away from them.“Let’s leave this lover gi

    I tried calling her number again for the last time but got no response.“What on earth is happening?” I panicked, redialing her number again as I stepped out of the elevator.I met Park already waiting for me in the living room.“Any news about Amber?” I raised a brow.“None I could get a hold of.” he said and I frowned.“I went to her apartment as you said but the landlord said they traveled.” he informed me after a brief pause and I faced him looking extremely clueless.“Traveled? To where? She didn’t tell me about it.” I figured, I looked annoyed.“Unfortunately, I got the news late so I couldn’t track her down. All her devices are offline.” he said and I sighed, rubbing my forehead.“This is a mess. She could have told me.” I said taking my seat on the sofa.“Liam, are you afraid that she will run away?” His question came up unexpectedly and I smirked.“Run away? Why now? Is she tired already?” I sneered and he lowered his head to the ground.“Before you start cooking up assumptio

    “Since you were asking about him, Kate found him.” Mia informed me as we stepped into the open lounge that looked so classic with different people having their morning breakfast.We took our seat at the table Kate has reserved for us.“What do you want? I will go ahead and place your orders.” Kate asked politely, staring at us.“Fried rice and salad with spiced turkey.” Isabella said with a smile on her face.“It’s morning…” Mia glanced through the menu.“I will go with a mild, less sugary dessert.” she said.“And you, Miss. Amber?” Kate asked after writing down their orders on her tabloid.“Fried chips and coffee.” I said and she left.“Seriously? Is that what you want to eat?” Isabella raised a brow.“Well, it’s not her fault. Early days in Chase bank have made her forget better meals.” Mia smirked, muttering the words as though she was a pope, I smirked.“Enough girls, I’m watching my weight. I can’t get too fat.” I winked at them and they burst into laughter.“Watching your weight

    “Have you gotten the information of that guy?” I asked him while staring at the sea through the window. The night will be a great one as every lady was wearing their sexy bikinis for the mid night bonfire. “Yes sir.” Park said. “Who is he?” I raised a brow while turning to him. “He is the expert sea safeguard in the suit. He saved Miss. Amber from drowning yesterday.” he informed me meticulously, leaving no stone unturned. I nodded my head. “Keep him in order. He should never approach her in his entire life.” I instructed him seriously. “Yes sir.” he nodded. “Sir, are you going to join the bonfire?” he asked. “Of course or do you want another man to steal her again?” The statement escaped from my mouth uncontrollably and he cleared his throat nervously. I have never been this insecure and jealous over someone - talk more of a woman. I didn’t know the medication she gave me to make me this mad over her. “Unfortunately, you were in a hurry sir. I wasn’t able to pack any of your

    “How the fuck can I face him?” she turned to us.“And none of you could even wake me up.” she panicked.“I kissed James! I kissed Liam’s brother who I’m not sure if I love or not, or maybe I do but don’t want to admit it or not..!” she covered her face after rambling with words, we stared at her without saying a word.“Just admit it, you love him.” Mia snorted.“I don’t. Even if I do, I can’t marry my brother-in-law, can I?” she focused on me and I shook my head negatively.“Who cares about that?” I curled my lips.“But Bella..” Mia walked over to her and sat on the floor while leaning on the couch that Isabella angrily crashed on.“The kiss… how did you feel?” Mia asked in a whispering tone looking so anxious.She wanted to know the full emotional details, I smirked.“To be honest, I felt secure and loved for a minute.” she blushed.“But..” she stopped when she saw how engrossed Mia was towards her story.“Did I ever ask you how you felt when Lucas kissed you?” she retaliated and Mia

    “Is everything ready?” I inserted the last button of my suit and turned to Park who just came into my hotel room.“Yes, sir. It will land in the airport in the next twenty minutes.” he said.“How about the others?” I raised a brow.“They are waiting for you at the hotel lobby.” he informed me and I nodded.I took a last look at the room before taking my leave, he followed me from behind.As I stepped into the lobby, all the ladies gasped in astonishment and admiration - aside my popularity, I was looking impeccable. I saw her eyes when she noticed the fans that I drew to myself but I waved them away and reached out to her; she smiled.“Did I keep you waiting?” I asked softly.“No. You are always on time.” she nodded.“Hey bro, we better hurry if you want to catch up with the flight.” James urged.“It’s not like it’s a public flight, right?” I raised a brow at him.“Are we using Chase Bank private airplane? This is a dream come true!” Mia gasped while covering her mouth, I laughed.“Le

    Logan was disturbed all through my pregnancy until it was time for delivery.I was rushed to the hospital by my family and as funny as our relationship was, all my friends were impatiently waiting at the emergency ward for an update.I was laid up on the bed and asked to spread my leg wide open. Logan had his reason and asked that I was being attended to by a female doctor.I know it’s unpredictable but I would have been ashamed to do as instructed if it were a male doctor.The whole series went smoothly. I felt pain at every surge I did in order to push my baby out.“The head is out!” One of the nurses notified and it gingered the doctor, they started urging me to push which I did seriously.It was as if a pop was hanging, I wanted to let it all out. Beads of sweat covered my forehead as I fought the tough fight of motherhood.An hour later, I woke up to the cry of a baby. The nurse approached me with the baby that had already been cleaned by methylated spirits, he was wrapped in t

    “Yay!” We clinked the glass together as cheers filtered in the air.“So, Mia, you said you are pregnant?” I asked, staring at her intently.“Right. It was meant to be a secret! Lucas.” She lovingly scolded Lucas and we laughed.“Oh don’t beat him, it's good news.” Bella nodded and I agreed with her.“Well, I wanted you to give birth first though so our children would have a certain age gap to date.” Mia wiggled her brow, she had always been sarcastic.“You are silly.” I laughed heartily. “Grow up Mia, you ain’t getting younger.” I teased her.“She never changes and I love her.” Surprisingly, Isabella sided with her.Suddenly, we realize that we have been focusing on just ourselves and had forgotten about our husbands and Reina thus we stopped, staring at them.”Well, the stage has been changed.” We started eating as if we didn’t know what we did.“I enjoy your company, honestly.” Reina broke the silence. “Liam, can you keep bringing me to them? I would love to be part of their zone.”

    The kind of joy I got in my heart was irreplaceable especially after the result of my pregnancy and the chase of Chi-saun. Finally, I was given the entire attention.I felt so bad for her though. After all the pride and confidence she had placed on the baby, it was all for loss.It has been a month yet no one has forgotten about such painful experiences and news. Chi-saun already left the mansion after her divorce thus I was finally Logan’s only wife which gave me nothing but happiness.I have never loved sharing my favorite things.I sluggishly walked into the dinning room for breakfast and met my mother-in-law and Ruby. They were setting the dishes and arranging the plates.“Good morning, Miss. Amber.” Ruby smiled as she went back into the kitchen.“You are awake.” My mother-in-law said suddenly and I stopped, facing her.It was as if I had heard something wrongly. I cleaned my ear and looked at her.“How was your night?” She made a comeback, keeping a bright smile.I was marveled a

    It wasn’t like I was anxious about her health or something but I wanted to reach the end of the deal as I had promised her father, the deal that I showered love to his daughter until she delivers.My mother and mother-in-law, including Amber, followed me to the hospital to visit Chi-saun. Since last night, she has been in the ER and none of the doctors were out.My mother couldn’t stop panicking and biting her fingers, she had developed a fondness for Chi-saun that couldn’t be forgotten overnight.I had business calls coming in but I reluctantly ignored them to finalize with the matter at hand.“How did this happen?” I heard Amber asking my mother out of concern but my mother gave her a cold shoulder.“We were all at home when she started crying out, she said her abdomen was in serious pain.” My mother-in-law explained sadly and Amber shook her head sadly.“Abdomen pain during pregnancy? That’s painful.” Amber mumbled.After a few hours of waiting in the waiting area, a doctor approac

    The following morning, my mother had already prepared my breakfast and the same goes for Chi-saun. It was as if the both mothers were trying to make their desired daughter happy and also compete between themselves.“Mum, I can do all these myself.” I frowned as I wolfed the noodles she made that morning, it wasn’t even up to my satisfaction. It was as if there were more worms dining with me at each bite.I never knew a four to five month pregnancy would turn one into a food hunter. I salivated and faced Ruby.“Can you make me another plate?” I squeezed out a smile with my eyes urging her.Ruby made the first step, approaching the kitchen when my mother-in-law stopped her.“Stop right there. Have you forgotten what Chi-saun sent you?” She fired in annoyance.“Ma’am?” Ruby looked clueless.“I asked you to bring the duvet from my room, I feel cold.” Chi-saun said, fringing a baby-ish low voice and I snorted.“I can make some myself.” I stood up from the chair and went over to the kitchen

    Three months later, Isabella successfully married her heartthrob, James and they moved into the mansion that was bought by Mr. Chase Jamie.Everyone was slowly adapting to the nature of change but Logan’s family won’t just accept things the way they came.As my baby bump came up, so did Chi-saun though her laziness ranked more than mine as she was always sending maids errands every second. In a week, we have employed three batches of maids because none of them could stand the pressure coming from her.“Amber, are you alright?” My mother approached me and supported me as I came down the stairs.Liam reluctantly gave me some months off which gave me no room for escaping from the troubles at home.“I’m fine. Just a bit thirsty.” I sighed heavily as I gradually sat on the armchair.“Let me get water for you.” She quickly rushed to the kitchen before I could stop her.“This woman…” I rubbed my forehead and relaxed on the armchair.Soon, Chi-saun came downstairs with my mother-in-law.

    I guessed she must have felt uncomfortable visiting the same family which she thought would be her final destination in the marital aspect.We all sat down in the living room, staring at each other; patiently waiting for the elders to make the first move.“Mum…” James nudged my mother who was still engrossed in Amber's presence, I guess she was already wishing it was us - coming to see them to become a married couple.“Madam Smith.” My mother’s voice finally came up.“My son told me about the beautiful flower he spotted in your garden.” She continued and my father cleared his throat.“That’s my line.” He said sarcastically and we all laughed.“Anyway, my son is interested in your daughter and I assume you know what that means?” My mother raised a brow and Amber’s mother nodded.“Yes. I know James is a good man.” She sighed. “As long as he can take care of my daughter and make her happy, I have no problem.” She said conclusively.“Be rest assured, mother.” James was the most shy and im

    Unlike how I presumed the date to be like, it was the complete opposite. Reina and Logan made sure Liam and I were comfortable. We discussed something farther away from our lives and by the time we realized it, none of us were willing to discuss our personal life.It was great that I wished time never flew as it did. The meal and the time spent with Liam and Reina was worth it.Who would have thought that Liam will settle with a woman like her. Cheerful, compassionate, and jovial. There was no boring moment with her as we were talking every second.Yeah, I felt a little thrown at the edge by the way Liam lauded her but fortunately, there was Logan who was beside me; caressing and making sure I didn’t feel empty or jealous.There was nothing to feel jealous about.I held Logan’s arm and leaned on his chest as we walked into the main living room. It was already late and we weren’t planning on seeing anyone but that was where I got the whole thing wrong.“Amber.” My mother called out to

    I walked into the room and placed my hand on my stomach. The doctor's words were still surprising me.“I’m pregnant.” I scoffed, shaking my head in disbelief. I wasn’t expecting such news not now and never.Thinking back to the previous, I wasn’t expecting my mother to come today since I just heard the news. There would be a lot of pressure with my mother-in-law and mother on one roof and I must be prepared for some actions.I know my mother so well and she was not the type that visits without a heads up, I think she already knows that something is going on and I don’t want her to get on the bad side of Logan.Suddenly, there was a knock on my door and it pulled open. I turned around and it was my mother, I swallowed and kept on a strong facade.“Mom.” She approached me, squeezing out a bright smile with all her wrinkles folding up.It dawned on me that my mother was getting old.“What are you doing here?” I asked, she grabbed my hands and cupped them into hers.“I have heard everyth
