I finished my latte, the bitter taste lingering on my tongue, and I knew I had to move on. I had to find a way to navigate this new world, this world where I was both a stranger and a visitor, all at the same time.

When I finally reached the biggest and most expensive restaurant in the country, I walked in, feeling a little out of place in my baggy jeans and faded t-shirt. The place buzzed with a high-energy vibe, the clatter of dishes and the chatter of diners creating a symphony of urban life.

I approached the counter and nervously asked for the manager. The guy behind the counter, a skinny guy with slicked-back hair and a smirk that never left his face, looked me up and down like I was some strange specimen.

"He's not around," he said, his voice dripping with a kind of bored arrogance that made my skin crawl. "But you can leave your details. He'll be back tomorrow. I'll make sure he gets them."

I handed him a piece of paper with my name and number scribbled on it. He glanced at i

    Another bright dayCaroline I groaned and pulled the covers over my head, trying to block out the light and the cold that seeped into my bones. My tummy felt like a big, round rock, and my legs were all wobbly. I felt like a giant, floppy marshmallow.I was so tired. I tried to move my arm, but it felt like I was dragging a whole log. My head felt like it was stuffed with cotton, and my brain was super slow. I tried to remember what I was supposed to do today, but all I could think about was how cozy and warm it was under the covers. Maybe I could just close my eyes for a few more minutes. Just a few more minutes of sleep...Then my phone buzzed. I grabbed it, my fingers clumsy from sleep. It was a message from the restaurant manager. My heart jumped. It said, “Caroline, you got the job!”I sat up in bed, my eyes wide. The cleaning job! I got it! I was so happy, tears welled up in my eyes. I looked up at the ceiling and whispered, “Thank you, God.”I needed this job. I needed it mo

    First day at work!The floor was sticky, a disgusting mixture of spilled soda, dropped fries, and forgotten ketchup. My hands ached from scrubbing the grime off the tables, and my back screamed in protest with every movement. I was exhausted, my legs like jelly, and my belly, a giant bowling ball stuck to my body, was throbbing with every step. It wasn’t supposed to be this hard. I had thought a cleaning job would be easy, a way to earn some money and get back on my feet. But here I was, feeling like I was carrying the weight of the world on my shoulders, and my aching back.“You should have gotten an abortion,” a voice sneered behind me. My stomach lurched. I knew those words were meant to hurt, to make me feel small, worthless.“So with this your pot belly, they call it pregnancy…can you even use it to work?” another voice chimed in, dripping with mockery. The laughter that followed was like a swarm of angry bees, buzzing in my ears, stinging my heart. I tried to ignore them, to

    Five Years LaterBacon and toast! The smell filled our tiny apartment, making my tummy rumble. My three little sweethearts, Jade, Joan, and Jones, were already at the kitchen counter, their eyes shining bright, ready for breakfast.“Mommy, are we packing for Daddy’s place today?” Jade asked, her voice a sweet melody that always melted my heart.I took a deep breath, my chest tightening as I felt the familiar pang of guilt. “Yes, sweetie,” I said, forcing a smile. “We’re going to see Daddy today. We’re going home.”“But Mommy, why do we have to go home?” Joan asked, her brow furrowed in confusion."Because it's time, sweetie. It's time we go back to our country," I said, trying to keep my voice light. “Can’t we stay here? This place is so fun!” Jones chimed in, his voice filled with a child’s innocent joy. They were right. This place, this little apartment, was where they had grown up, where they had learned to walk and talk, where they had discovered the world with wide eyes and curi

    You know those times when you're excited about a trip? Imagine that, but you're also a little scared because you're going back to a place where things went really wrong. Like, really, really wrong. So, there I was, with my kids, all happy and carefree, heading to the airport. I was trying to pretend everything was okay, but deep down, I was feeling like a scared little kid myself. You know how sometimes you get that tight feeling in your chest when you're nervous? Yeah, that was me. But I had to be strong for my kids, right? They were looking at me with their bright, innocent eyes, so I put on a brave face and said, "Come on, team, let's go home!" We got on the plane, and I took a deep breath. This was it, the moment we'd been waiting for. I was going back to my country, to the place where I'd grown up, where I felt safe and loved. But it was also the place where everything had fallen apart. The place where I'd lost everything. We were soaring through the air, the world shrinking

I felt a surge of anger, but I held it back, my anger fueled by the fear I saw in my children's eyes."You know what, Jeffrey," I said, my voice low and dangerous. "You have nothing to do with me anymore. And if you think you can just waltz back into my life and pretend nothing happened, you're wrong. I'm not the same woman I was. I've moved on. And I'm not going back." I turned my back on them, my heart pounding like a drum in my chest. I took my children's hands, their small fingers intertwined with mine, a reminder of the love and strength that held us together. "Come on, team," I said, my voice firm. "Let's get home." The taxi pulled up to the familiar brick building, a wave of nostalgia washing over me as I recognized the intricate wrought iron fence and the cheerful potted geraniums lining the entrance. It was home. "We're here, Miss Caroline," the driver announ

    3rd povAncelotti sat in his office, looking out the big window. The sun was setting, making the sky look like a beautiful painting with bright oranges and soft pinks. But he wasn’t really seeing the sunset. His mind was busy thinking about Caroline.Just a few years ago, he had seen her working in one of his restaurants. “How did I not notice her before?” he wondered. It felt strange to think that someone so special had been right in front of him all along. He remembered the first time they met at a bar. They talked and laughed for hours, sharing stories and dreams. It felt like they had a real connection.Then, they spent a night together that he couldn’t forget. It was magical, filled with laughter and warmth. But now, everything feels different. His heart sank as he remembered what his manager had told him: “She left Europe.” Why would she leave? Did she not want to see him again?Ancelotti's mind raced with questions. “Is she pregnant?” he thought, feeling panic rising in his st

    Jeffrey’s pov“Boss," Miguel, my security detail, said, his voice a little too loud for the hushed atmosphere of my private office. "Everything okay? You've been pacing for an hour, muttering to yourself. You look like you've seen a ghost."I stopped pacing and turned to him, the knot of anxiety in my stomach tightening. "Miguel, it's nothing," I said, trying to sound nonchalant, but I could feel my voice cracking a little. "Just… thinking.""About the deal with the Faraday Group?" Miguel asked, his eyes narrowed with suspicion. "No, no, not about that," I waved my hand dismissively. "It's about something else. Something… personal.""Something personal?" He raised an eyebrow, a smirk playing on his lips. "You, Boss, have a personal life? Now that's a story I gotta hear."I sighed, running a hand through my hair. "It's not like that. It's just... I saw someone today. Someone I haven't seen in years.""Years? We are talking decades here?" Miguel's grin widened. "You’re telling me you h

    Marco didn’t answer. Instead, he stepped out into the open, his hand hovering near his holster. The car door opened, and Ric stepped out, looking nervous and out of place.“Marco,” Ric said, raising his hands in a gesture of peace. “Boss sent me.”Marco frowned. “What for?”“To make sure everything’s... under control,” Ric said, glancing at Caroline. His eyes darted nervously, betraying the lie.“Stay out of this, Ric,” Marco growled. “You’ve done enough damage.”Caroline stepped forward, her patience wearing thin. “What’s going on here? Ancelotti sent you both? Why?”Marco didn’t answer immediately. Instead, he turned to Ric, his expression hard. “Go back to the car. Now.”“But—”“Now!” Marco barked, and Ric flinched before retreating.Caroline crossed her arms, glaring at Marco. “Start talking.”Marco sighed, his shoulders slumping slightly. “Ancelotti doesn’t trust Jeffrey. And right now, he’s not sure if he can trust you either.”Caroline’s expression hardened. “After everything I

    Jeffrey was charming, there was no denying that, but his charm was a double-edged sword.“I’m glad you decided to meet with me,” Jeffrey said, his smile smooth as silk. “I know this situation with Ancelotti is...complicated.”Caroline raised an eyebrow. “Complicated is an understatement.”Jeffrey leaned forward, his tone conspiratorial. “He’s losing his grip, Caroline. You can see that, can’t you? The mistakes, the outbursts—it’s only a matter of time before it all comes crashing down.”Caroline didn’t respond immediately. She swirled her wine glass, watching the liquid catch the light. “And you think you’re the better option?”“I’m not just an option,” Jeffrey said confidently. “I’m the solution.”Caroline tilted her head, a small smile playing on her lips. Back in the office, Ancelotti sat amidst the chaos he had created. The overturned desk, the shattered lamp, the scattered papers—all of it mirrored the turmoil in his mind. He buried his face in his hands, his earlier anger now r

    Jane gasped, her hand flying to her mouth. "What? Are you serious? Is he… is he okay?" "I don’t know," Caroline said, pacing back and forth. "They took him to the hospital. I need to go back, but I just— I needed a moment to breathe." "Oh my god! Caroline, you're back. I was so worried!" she said, her voice shaking.Caroline chuckled and hugged her back. "Hey, I'm okay. Sorry for making you worry." she said.Jane pulled away and looked at Caroline. "What happened? Why were you acting like that?" she asked.Caroline sighed and patted her on the head. "I'll tell you everything. But first, let's go inside. I'm so tired, I just want to sit down.”They both went inside, and Jane closed the door, her curiosity was at its peak. She was ready to hear everything, she was ready to listen, and she was ready to finally know what was going on in Caroline’s life. She couldn't wait for Caroline to explain everything, and she was determined to help her friend, no matter what.Caroline threw he

  • Ex-wife becomes pregnant after divorce   Chapter 43:Unexpected

    Caroline ran into the restaurant, panting. She was late. "I'm so sorry!" she said, her voice breathless as she glanced around. Jeffrey was already sitting at their table, smiling at her. "It's okay," Jeffrey said with a small chuckle. "I was just about to order." Caroline smiled back, feeling relieved. She reached for a chair to sit down, but before she could pull it out, a loud sound rang through the air. Bang!For a moment, everything froze. Caroline's heart stopped, and she turned to see Jeffrey falling to the floor. Blood began to spread across his shirt, right over his chest. "Jeffrey!" she screamed, her voice shaking with fear. "Oh my God!" The entire restaurant fell silent. Then chaos erupted. "Somebody help!" Caroline shouted, kneeling beside Jeffrey. Tears streamed down her face as she pressed her hands against the wound, trying to stop the bleeding. The waitresses and other customers rushed over. One of the waitresses quickly pulled out her phone and called for

    Ancelotti sat alone in his dark, cluttered office, the faint glow of a desk lamp casting long shadows on the walls. The air was thick with the scent of whiskey, and his glass, half-full, sat on the table in front of him. He leaned back in his leather chair, a sinister grin spreading across his face as he murmured to himself. "Jeffrey," he said, his voice low and amused, "busy waiting for Caroline, thinking he has it all under control." He let out a soft chuckle, shaking his head slowly. "Meanwhile, the unexpected will be expected. Poor fool doesn’t even know what’s coming." Ancelotti reached for his glass, taking a slow sip of whiskey. The liquid burned as it slid down his throat, but he savored it. Every detail of his plan was falling into place, and he relished the thought of how it would all unfold. "Ric," he muttered, tapping his fingers on the armrest. "He’s sharper than I thought. Got Caroline all riled up, didn’t he? Triggered her emotions just enough to set up that sharp

    “Maybe,” he thought, a touch of uncertainty creeping into his mind, “Maybe she won’t come back to me right away. Maybe she’s still too hurt, too angry.” He sighed inwardly, he shouldn’t have been such an arrogant jerk back then. But he was young, he was dumb. He was hoping that Caroline would find it in her heart to forgive him. He needed her.He told himself that he had changed. He was ready to be better, he was ready to be the man that she deserved, if only she would give him a chance. He was willing to wait, to prove himself to her. It didn't matter if she didn’t want to be his wife anymore, but maybe, just maybe, they could be close friends. He could be her confidant, her shoulder to cry on, the person she could trust with anything. He would do anything to have her close to him again. Even just as a friend.He imagined long conversations, laughter, and shared secrets. He pictured them going on adventures together, exploring new places, creating new memories. He wanted to have

    Jeffrey was practically vibrating with anticipation. His phone had buzzed with a message from the bank, saying Caroline Sterling had been asking about her grandfather's accounts, and that she was demanding answers. Jeffrey had almost choked on his coffee when he read it. After all these weeks, Caroline was finally reaching out again.Or so he thought.A wide grin stretched across his face. He'd always known she would come crawling back. Six years ago, he was the one who had ended things. She was nothing, just a nobody who he had gotten tired of. He had thought she would be nothing without him, he thought that he’s a big fish in this little pond that was her life. He had made her feel inferior. He was a fool. Now, the tables were about to turn. Or so he thought. He had always desired her. He was just too arrogant to admit it back then. He thought that she didn't deserve him, that she was too naive and too pure for his liking.He wanted to be with someone who was like him, someone t

    Caroline sat in the living room, absentmindedly flipping through a stack of papers she had brought from the office. Jane was lounging on the couch, scrolling through her phone, occasionally throwing teasing glances at Caroline. “I think I’ll step out in a bit,” Caroline said, breaking the silence. “Maybe head back to the office and check a few things. If I run into Jeffrey, I’ll deal with him.” Jane raised an eyebrow. “You’re really going to face Jeffrey today? You’ve been avoiding him like the plague.” Caroline sighed. “I can’t keep avoiding him, Jane. It’s time I set things straight. He has to understand that I’ve moved on, and there’s nothing left between us.” Jane smirked. “Moved on? Sounds like Ancelotti is doing a great job.” Caroline rolled her eyes. “Please, don’t start. I’m just trying to focus on my life and my kids. Speaking of which, I need to stop by the school and check on the triplets later this week.” As she spoke, her phone vibrated on the coffee table. S

    When Maralyn stormed into her house, the door slammed so hard it rattled the frame. Her heels clicked loudly against the floor as she stomped into the living room, muttering angrily to herself. "Unbelievable! Who does she think she is?!" she yelled, throwing her purse onto the couch. It missed and hit the floor with a loud thud, but she didn’t care. She marched over to the coffee table and swept everything off it with one furious motion—magazines, an old mug, and a small vase all crashed to the floor. Pieces scattered everywhere, but Maralyn didn’t stop. She grabbed a pillow from the couch and flung it across the room, hitting the wall with a dull thump. “Stupid, stupid Caroline!” she shouted, pacing back and forth like a caged animal. Her hands flew to her hair, tugging at it in frustration. At one point, she yanked a picture frame off the wall. It was an old photo of her and Caroline, back when they used to be friends. She glared at it for a moment before hurling it to the
