KEIRA. Seating across the table with my mom after all these while seems so strange. It felt so strange especially when I knew she was going to talk about George.I can't believe my own mom would never care about my wellbeing but cares more about me staying away from her lover. Gone are the days when I let her belittle me. I Just had to accept the hard fact, I would never matter to her. I would never be important to her. Maybe if I begin to love myself more,if I begin to put myself first, I would get rid of these emotional scars. “Hmmm,” She cleared her throat after staring at me for a long while with loathe in her eyes and as she sipped the pineapple glass of Juice on the table. She had never stopped hating me, I knew she would hate me more because of George and I don't think I'm ready to give up either.“I will get straight to the point” She began with a cold tone. A part of me still wished she would ask me how I have been all these years but it seemed clear that I'm not needed, I
ISABEL. I watched Keira leave the restaurant with anger boiling in my heart, my eyes blazing with fury. She made my life miserable, I have always hated her. Now she wants to take the one person that made my life a little meaningful, I won't let her, never!I suffered so much in that silly marriage with her father. I hated her guts, her existence, she shouldn't have come into this world. I admit I made a terrible mistake, leaving George in the past. If I didn't, he wouldn't have settled for Keira but at least it boosted my confidence in coming back.I wouldn't have known he still loved me if he didn't go for my lookalike. Now I know, I'm going to take him back. I'm sure he doesn't want to leave Keira because he pities her and it would have been better if she would listen to me and walk away on her own. But no, she wants to stay, she wants to love him and take away my happiness like she has always done, I won't let that happen. She wanted to prove she wasn't the same naive and cryba
KEIRA. I heaved a sigh while in the cab, different thoughts in my mind. What was mom talking about? Should I still be calling her mom when I wasn't a child to her. Isabel, I wonder what she meant. What didn't I know about George? I'm damn curious and a bit mad, I'm just waiting for the time he would really open up to me. I can't force him to. I kept heaving a sigh while in the cab. My phone beeped and I picked it. (Do you mind coming to my office, Bambi? I have a surprise for you?) I saw a text from George and my lips curved into a smile. ( What's the surprise Daddy?) I typed back with a hint of tease and sarcasm, the amusement in my tone making me blush a bit. I instantly forgot about everything I was thinking about. (No, no. You are being coy. It's no longer a surprise if I tell you, is it? You will come right?) He repeated and I heaved a sigh, it is not like I would decline, meanwhile I had never been to his office. (I'm coming) I replied and asked the driver to take me to Ca
KEIRA. Tears slipped through my cheeks, I couldn't control it. I wasn't supposed to be crying, I wasn't. He did it again, he lied to me. He told me he no longer loved her! He was such a liar, no wonder mom was so confident about her words. All these explained it. I quickly took to my heels and ran out of his room with tears in my eyes. I ran my hands through my hair, ruffling it in frustration. I shouldn't be crying because of him, I didn't want to! But no matter how I tried to seem strong, I couldn't control my emotions. I quickly took wipes and began erasing all the silly makeup I put on, I can't believe this! He should have a good life with her! I'm done with this relationship, I'm done with him! I profusely wiped out the mascara and eyeliner I put on. I wanted to keep my tears in place but they kept coming through. Can you give it rest? I felt so shitty and useless. I felt like I was choking on my breath, like I was drowning in my own emotions. Just as I thought I couldn't tak
GEORGE. I was driving home, a wide grin on my cheeks. I was so satisfied with the expression I saw on Keira's face when she saw the little surprise I had for her. I can't believe I'm actually got a customized necklace for us both. I can't wait to see her, I already miss her. My phone buzzed and it was her asking me if I was coming yet. I quickly picked my phone with the other hand and messaged back, my other hand on the steering wheel. I was about to keep my phone as it started ringing from an unsaved number. I hated picking unsaved lines so I dropped my phone but it kept buzzing non stop. I decided to pick up, the moment I put the phone over my ear, I couldn't hear a word. “George!!!!! Please save me!!! That man is here to kill me! He wants to kill me! He wants to kill me, George. Please save me!!” I quickly recognized Isabel's voice. I had not forgotten her voice whenever the PTSD she got from marrying a woman beater came. She was traumatized from that marriage with Keira's fat
KEIRA. I stirred, my eyes fluttering open as I slowly tried to regain stability and consciousness. I felt a pang of headache, I know I drank a lot of alcohol yesterday. I couldn't even recall how I came home. Groggily, I sat up, taking in the surroundings, I was in George's room and he was nowhere near me. Did Sebestian bring me home yesterday? My chest tightened, a wave of emotions washing over me. The memories of the previous night began to resurface, so George was with my mom till now. What was I even thinking? If I found pictures of a woman who he claimed he didn't love, I don't think I needed any other signs. I angrily stood up from the bed and walked over to my room as I opened the wardrobe and began taking my clothes out, I mean mine, not the ones George had gotten for me. I unlocked my luggage and began placing my clothes in them rapidly. I need to get out of here, I wasn't needed anyway. I was profusely taking them out with tears welling up in my eyes as I heard George's v
AUTHOR'S POV.George drove across the streets, his eyes blazing with anger. He only figured out Isabel might have done something after she began questioning him about the promises they made to each other. He gave her a second chance and this was all she could do! George couldn't help but get angry at the thought of it, the fact that Keira couldn't trust him made matters worse. He never intentionally ditched their plans, he wasn't going back to her, why wouldn't Keira believe him. George got to Isabel's apartment and rang the doorbell. After Isabel peeped through the spy hole, her face curved into a wide smile as she enthusiastically opened the door. “George!” She exclaimed once she set her eyes on him. “I knew you would come back..” She smiled, spreading her arms for a hug.George clenched his fists, his upper lips curling into a sneer.“What did you tell Keira?” He questioned, his tone squirming with impatience, shoving the fact that she wanted to hug him down the drain. Isabel'
AUTHOR'S POV. George couldn't stop slamming his hands on the steering wheel as he drove. He couldn't believe himself. He couldn't forgive himself for believing Isabel over Keira, now things were really over between them. He should have known the manipulative lady he dated thirteen years ago, she would use anything possible to accumulate pity. George picked his phone and began dialing Keira's number but it was unreachable. George gritted his teeth and increased the speed of his car. He wished Keira stayed, he wished she didn't have to go. After their altercation in the morning, he watched her leave with her luggage, knowing fully well she had no destination. Fuck, he really messed up. While Keira isn't picking up, he called Mark instead. “I need you to find Keira before the day runs out.” He demanded. Meanwhile Keira had gone to see Elena at the coffee shop with her luggage. Elena had nothing to say after Keira told her everything. Elena felt like she was in no place to advise K
Author's POV. Keira’s eyes fluttered open, and the first thing she saw was George sitting beside her, his eyes locked on her with a gentle, steady gaze. He was holding something wrapped in a soft pink blanket, his expression pure wonder. It took her a moment to remember, her breath caught as reality settled in. Their daughter was finally here. “Bambi” George murmured, smiling as he noticed she was awake. “Someone wants to say hello.... We have a baby!" A warm wave of emotion washed over her as George leaned in, bringing their baby girl closer to her. Keira took in the sight of their tiny daughter, barely able to believe it. Her heart felt like it was going to burst. Soft tufts of dark hair peeked out from the blanket, and tiny hands rested by her face, impossibly small and delicate. “Oh, she’s… she’s perfect,” Keira whispered, her voice barely audible as she gazed down at their daughter. She lifted a trembling hand, gently tracing a finger along the baby’s tiny cheek. The warmth,
KEIRA. I can't believe my wedding day was finally here. After all the obstacles, after what seemed like it wouldn't be, I was getting married to George. The man I met six years back, the man who made me feel everything love was about. He accepted me, he accepted my flaws. He chose to be with me no matter what. He decided to be a father because of me. He changed his rules just to be with me. The universe was on my side on this. I bless the day I met him at the bar, the day he ignited an unquenchable spark.. The morning of my wedding to George began in a daze of rose-colored light and breathless excitement, like a dream I was trying to hold onto but that kept slipping through my fingers. Sunlight pooled through the soft curtains, dusting everything in gold. "Keira!" Elena squirmed, stepping into the bride waiting room. I giggled at her.. "Wow! You look so stunning! George wouldn't be able to keep the thing in between his legs one place!" She joked, her sense of humour making me gasp
KEIRA. Some days later I got discharged from the hospital, I lost my baby. I still can't believe this. George has been consoling me like forever. He keeps telling me we would make another one but I was really sad though. What if it doesn't come again that easily. I prayed it would. Kelvin needed someone by his side. We would have all the sex in the world so that we can make a baby.. After his work hours were over, George came home. I was speedily recovering as well. I made dinner and Kelvin had gone to sleep after consuming his dinner. I was in the living room when he came home.. He beamed at me with his eyes and scooped me into his arms into the same manner, gently placing me on the floor. Our eyes locked and my heart raced in anticipation and exhilaration at the same time. George watched me with lustful eyes, my elbow was pressed on the floor since I was wedging my upper body with it. He gently pushed my legs apart and a soft gasp escaped my lips once he did that. He push
KEIRA. A familiar hum filled the air, a mix of beeps and muted voices that seemed both distant and near. I really wanted to get over the news from Doctor Peter. It wasn't all that easy for me to take in because George stopped protection long time ago. I was still in the hospital, tethered to tubes and a heart monitor, feeling the dull ache radiate from my shoulder. Slowly, I opened my eyes, and the room came into focus. I really I lost my child. I think I might have fallen into another slumber after the news. "Keira?" George’s voice was soft, laced with relief, and I turned my head just enough to see his face inches away, his eyes wide with a fragile hope. “Hey,” I managed, my voice raspy, like I hadn’t spoken in days. “You…you look awful.” He snorted, frowning. "You have been sleeping... I have missed you" He gave a short laugh, the kind that holds back a well of emotion. His hand found mine, his fingers trembling slightly. “I have missed you like crazy. I'm so sorry for what
George's POV I held Keira's limp body in my arms, her blood seeping onto my suit. The sound of gunfire still echoed in my ears. Our engagement party, once filled with laughter and joy, had turned into a nightmare. Keira, I would never forgive myself if I lose her. Never. "Keira, no! Stay with me! Bambi, please!" I pleaded, my voice shaking. My eyes was filled with tears as i continued shaking her roughly. I rushed through the crowded hall, shoving aside panicked guests. Sirens blared outside, growing louder. "Get the car!" I yelled at Mark. The hall had gone so chaoti, people.rushing out for their safety. I wouldn't blame them, the gunshot erupted from nowhere. "We need to get her to the hospital now!" I yelled, tears in my eyes. I had no idea who I was yelling at but if I lose Keira, I'm gone. I couldn't seem to control myself. I was supposed to be calm for Keira's sake. I was supposed to reassure myself but I was panicking more than I should. Elena rushed us at the stage
KEIRA. The hall was a dream. soft pink roses, strings of glistening fairy lights, and golden drapes swayed lightly under the room’s chandeliers. I could hear the clink of glasses and the gentle hum of people chatting, laughter mixing with the soft music filling the air. It was a celebration of George and I..Our engagement party was everything I’d dreamed it would be. It was perfect. George had his guests all over the place, influential personnel, stars in New York. He invited A list celebrities like he said he would. George was across the room, A radiant smile that had melted my heart from the start plastered on his face. His dark suit fit perfectly, the deep navy accentuating his broad shoulders and making his hazel eyes more striking. He was in a deep conversation with Mark, occasionally looking my way with a wink. I gave him a small wave, feeling my cheeks flush. Even after all these years, he still made my heart flutter. They fluttered like crazy. I stood,greeting some of G
KEIRA. I slowly opened my eyes, blinking away the haze of sleep. Sunlight streamed through the window, casting a warm glow over the room. George's gentle hand held mine, his hazel eyes watching me. I was so surprised he woke up before me today.. A huge smile crossed my lips. "Good morning, bambi " he whispered,a smile playing on his cheeks. I smiled faintly,feeling a wave of nausea wash over me. My stomach churned. I felt this way yesterday’s morning but it wasn't as bad as this morning. Was I sick or what the heck was wrong with me. “Good morning handsome” I returned the greeting. I quickly sprang up the bed and rushed into the bathroom, feeling the need to vomit. George didn't hesitate to come after me, closing the bathroom door behind me. "Bambi, are you okay?" I couldn't answer because I had begun , vomiting uncontrollably. My body shook, and my stomach churned. I don't think I can do anything today. My body feels so weak. George's worried voice came through again as he
KEIRA I returned home and Kelvin came out of Joe's quarters and hugged me. He was mostly with Joe since the holidays. I have been giving it a serious thought. Perhaps I should just quit and become a housewife. My son needed me so much and I wasn't doing much at work. I went in with him and he was quick to remove his uniforms. I went to the kitchen to prepare dinner. I had to feed Kelvin then showered him, put him to bed. I took mine and came downstairs to wait for George as usual. George came home and beamed the warmest smile ever. I would punish him for not telling me he announced our engagement in the news. I frowned not returning the smile even though I wanted to.. “Bambi….what happened?” He questioned, coming close to me. “You didn't tell me you were announcing the engagement in the news. Our engagement party is next week and I didn't even know!” I grumbled and he let out a low chuckle, coming close to me at the dinning table. “Didn't you say anytime was okay
KEIRA. The fire service cleared the fire. I would never understand how that fire broke out. It was really out of nowhere and surprising. But thank Goodness no one got hurt. Everyone went home safely. George had to hire cleaning service providers for them to clean up the fire and the rooftop. “I wonder what happened?” He said to me when we were seated in the living room. Night came by so quickly and since I excused myself from work to celebrate Kelvin’s birthday, we just stayed at home watching TV that night. Kelvin was in the living room with his toys but on the floor. My head rested on George's shoulder and he gently rubbed my arms. “I really don't understand how the fire broke out. It just started all of a sudden but thank Goodness, no one got hurt” I replied. George inclined closer and kissed my forehead. “I was really surprised and worried but everything is okay now I guess. …..”He responded and kissed my forehead again. I sighed deeply, we were in eachother's arms un
