"Well, who do we have here? My one and only Aunty Elizabeth," I said loudly when I approached Elizabeth where she was sitting down and patiently waiting for me to come. She scoffed, "Aunty Elizabeth? Spare me that crap, Collins. You and I know that you have been longing to get rid of Spencer and me even as I little child that you were, you never welcomed us to the family." I smirked at her, satisfied by the fact that she still remembers those moments when I was their nemesis and wanted to get rid of them so badly. This day when I tormented them until they left this city. It was just a wonderful experience back then and I enjoyed every bit of it. "I like how bold you have become over the years but I doubt that your boldness is going last long. You see, I have a lot of plans for you and Spencer..." "Yeah, we have already figured that out when your crazy sidekick tried to kill a pregnant woman. She is lucky to be alive." I clenched my fists in anger because I knew that what Tes
** Sydney** I stood on the balcony of my room, looking outside at the clear sky and sun as it shone bright this morning. My hands subconsciously rubbed my belly bump that was becoming visible as each day passed by. My mind was zoned out on the various events that had just happened in the past few weeks. The whole new experience I had when I was with Spencer and how it died down pretty quickly unlike how I expected it to be. My thoughts were randomly thinking of how strong I have been while going through the drama of being involved with Spencer Martins. The love I felt we shared - was it even real? Or was it just an infatuation? Was I too desperate or scared of being alone that I couldn't even shed a little bit of hope of restoring my marriage? Now look at me here, back with my Aiden and his family because no matter how far I run, I would still come back to Aiden's arms. That was the power of destiny and this was how it wanted its game to go. I only played along to it and probably
Finally, after Aiden let me go, I decided to go to Spencer's workplace and drop my resignation letter on his desk. I know that he is currently in the hospital which was the best opportunity to do this, but I didn't want to leave his company like that. Even though I was with Aiden now, the royalty shares of my work were important to me. It should be hard work paid off. "Are you going to somewhere?" Aiden asked when he noticed how dressed up I was. I nodded, deciding to tell him the truth in case he intended to send someone to monitor my movements today. "I'm going to Spencer's company," I replied. "Why?" "I want to drop my resignation letter on his desk. Whenever Spencer is back from the hospital, he will see it," I said. "It is really important to do that. He already knows that you are going to quit your work," Aiden said. "He doesn't know that Aiden, and this is the best way to confirm that I'm done with work," I said trying to sound convincing to him. I didn't want to tell
My heart was pounding fast as I arrived at the hospital where Spencer was. I was scared too, what if he didn't want to see my face again? I stood in front of his room for some minutes before summoning the courage to knock slightly before opening the door to enter inside. He was lying down with his eyes closed but as soon as I closed the doors, Spencer opened his eyes to see who the visitor was. He tried to sit up when he saw me and l helped him to relax properly. "How are you feeling now?" I asked him. He snorted harshly, "Do you care about how I'm feeling?" "Spencer, I just came here to know how you are. Please, don't make it any more difficult for me than it is now," I said to him. Trying to suppress every emotional breakdown that was inside me, I kept staring at my hands. My palms were already sweating profusely as I was rubbing them both constantly. "You look pretty today," he said instead. "Thank you," I replied. "Why did you do that?" He asked suddenly. "What?" I was s
Elizabeth, my mother, walked into my room with an aura that I had missed so much. Her face was bright as usual and she had a fixed smile on her face. That was her way of living, she always smiled even when she was in pain. A strong woman indeed. I took after her, in looks and character. We had a lot of things in common and that was why were inexplicably close to each other. "My baby boy, look at you," she said and embraced me warmly. I missed her warmth and her care. I didn't mean to make her worried about me, it was just the turnout of events that caused it. "I'm okay now, mom. You don't have to worry about me," I said, trying to make her feel better. She scoffed, "You said that to me last time and here you are, looking helpless on a hospital bed. I sent you here to have fun again and live your life the way you have always wanted it, not to get shot by some meaningless bitch with mind issues." "Mom!" I chuckled. Her humor was always there even in the most serious situatio
** Collins** I relaxed in the wind cellar, taking a sip of the hot wine that I had in my hand. My mind was on a lot of things but I had to be slow with my thoughts, to avoid thinking wrongly. My mind was disrupted when I heard a grunt from outside, I got up and walked out of the house to see what the commotion was all about. I was not surprised to see Tessa, all bloodied and wounded, with Morgan who was helping her to walk. She wouldn't say that I did not warn her against going to attack Spencer openly. I told her and she chose to do whatever was on her mind, now she has to face the consequences herself. "You don't look so good," I smirked at her. "Please, Collins, call the doctor. I can't bear this pain anymore," Tessa cried out. I loved to see her in pain because she hardly listened to anything that I said. I folded my arms and simply looked at her, Morgan helped her to sit down and she murmured thank you to her. "I told you that attacking Spencer like that was a wrong idea
"Well, who do we have here? My one and only Aunty Elizabeth," I said loudly when I approached Elizabeth where she was sitting down and patiently waiting for me to come. She scoffed, "Aunty Elizabeth?

I sat uncomfortably at the restaurant while waiting for Aiden to come. Deep down in my heart, I just hoped that Lydia's idea was going to work well as she had said. The last thing I wanted to do was to create another chaos, it would be a bad thing to happen to us. Aiden arrived, his eyes were sunken inside from crying too much. I felt a lot of pain for him but I had to keep my composure intact. "Sydney, I'm glad that you still want to see my face after everything that had happened back then," he said to me and tried to hold my hands but I stopped him from going so before he could even reach out to touch them. "I called you here to discuss something brief with you, Aiden. I know that you won't believe me and I'm not expecting you to believe me but I have to come clean with you," I started to say. "What's going on, Sydney? I hope that you are okay?" he asked, looking very concerned about me. "I'm pregnant. I found out that I was already two months gone before our anniversary.
