“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
“What’s with the long face?” Mia rolled her eyes while drinking the morning coffee.“You have been sad since yesterday, did something happen?” Isabella asked.“I still think Liam is cheating.” I said sitting on the couch.“Cheating? That jackass!” Mia hit her hand on the kitchen counter.“Why did you say that?” Isabella asked.“The journalist from yesterday said something about him bribing some women who were his girlfriends..” I rashly briefed them since I couldn’t understand the full details.“Hmm… but he looks sincere to me.” Isabella rubbed her chin.“If he was taking you for his side chicks, he wouldn’t have come to meet you in Hawaii, why should he care?” Mia adjourned, nodding her head.“Right? I find everything confusing.” I stared at the engagement ring in my finger sadly.“Cheer up girl, Liam is yours. Those girls are just crazy bitches.” Mia convinced me courageously.“That doesn’t mean you won’t be leaving for work today, right?” Isabella asked while brushing her hair in a
I walked on the street lifelessly and almost fell down when someone caught me. I appreciated the stranger before proceeding in the street.Should I tell him or not? He deserves to know but…*FLASH BACK*“You can hate us all you want, it’s all our fault.” my parents knelt down before me. No matter how I tried to pull them up, they refused.“Mum, dad.. what is happening?” they got me scared, what exactly was the problem?“Do you remember Logan?” my mother asked through her sniffles and I gave it a second thought.Logan.Logan Black.“Why won’t I know who Logan is?” I screamed at their faces.Maybe I didn’t say the full story but Logan was my crush during college. I loved him so much even when I knew his parents were against our relationship. They wanted him to marry a Chinese lady and I was out of their league in terms of status. Logan promised to save our relationship. He told me to wait for him.“Stupid!” I scoffed.I was so stupid to believe in him. He left Manhattan and never retur
“Why did you let her leave!” I screamed at him in anger.“I couldn’t hold her, sir.” he lowered his head.“Get her, go get her, we can’t let her leave.” I instructed him impatiently.“I’m sorry, sir but I don’t think it’s right to stop her.” he lifted his gaze at me.“What are you going to tell her?” he asked me straight at my face with no fear.I scratched my hair in agony and rubbed my forehead looking confused.“Damn!” I punched the wall in anger.“I’m sorry this has to happen sir, I couldn’t hold her since she said she has something important to say to you.” he informed me meticulously.“No. I need to explain to her.” I grabbed my suit from the armchair and advanced to the door.“Explain to her? How?” he pursed his lips and I faced him.“Explain to her something that she saw with her bare eyes? Sir, I’m afraid that’s impossible.” he said conclusively and I sighed.“But you know what happened, right?” I raised a brow.“I know, it’s my fault for letting my guards down but we can’t s
I crashed on the armchair as soon as I entered the living room and Mia rushed over to me, she was worried.“I’m so sorry babe. Everything is beginning to go in a way that we can’t control.” She sat beside me.“I actually thought I was going to get married this time. Taste the happiness of being a married woman and officially become Liam’s but…” I broke into tears and she pulled me into her embrace, gently stroking my back.“Take it easy, Amy.” She gradually pulled me out.“What I don’t understand is Logan being in the picture… I don’t get it.” she frowned.“I also don’t understand. I’m as dumb as you are. Why didn’t they ask him to marry Isabella rather than pushing him to me?” I wondered loudly.“And Isabella on the other side didn’t finish college. She dropped out and came to NY, no wonder she couldn’t get any better job.” I sighed sadly.“She isn’t back yet, I guess she is avoiding you.” she figured and I smirked.“It’s not her fault actually. I also did something insane so I could
“Stop! Stop!!” Mia and Isabella stopped chasing the strangers that barged into our apartment and rushed to me.“What is happening here?” Mia cried out to me with confusion lancing in her eyes.“I also don’t know. I think I’m being sold.” I spilled looking more confused than she was.“What? Being sold?” Isabella’s jaw dropped.“Don’t tell me this is… Logan’s doing.” Mia paused, staring at me in astonishment and I nodded acrobatically as though I was being controlled.“This is bad. Is there nothing we can do about it?” Isabella’s eyes started holding tears, I shook my head.“You, father and mother already signed it. I don’t think I can run away from this.” I said dolefully facing another direction.The strangers were seriously packing my belongings and making sure they skip no thing.“Second wife? That’s horrible.” Mia cried out with a loud voice.“This feels like a dream and I want to wake up.” Isabella said.“Miss. Amber, we have to leave now.” One of the strangers informed me courteo
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. As us
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
