“What is he even doing here?” Kyle asked from beside me as the party resumed.I turned around to face Ethan and narrowed my eyes at him. “What’s going on?”“That’s your reaction to seeing your brother?” He asked me with an incredulous look.“Did you invite him?”“Maybe.”“What’s that supposed to mean?”“That’s supposed to make you go to him and thank him for coming here,” Ethan said. “Or do you want me to escort you?”“Thanks. You’ll just ruin it.” Kyle said. “I’ll go with her.”“Wait, I never told you I’m going to meet him.” I protested.“Why?” Zac and Lana asked together while Lana continued. “Come on, Nick is here. Literally. Not even dreaming.”“He wouldn’t talk to me anyway,” I said.“You would only know about it if you try,” Tyler said. “Come on, let’s go before he changes his mind.”“Hey, didn’t you hear what I said? I’m handling the situation. So back off.” Kyle said, taking my hand and pulling me towards Nick.My friends remained behind and watched us walk over to him. I push

I looked up to find Nick looking at me with confusion. My eyes widened, even more, when I realized what Ben did.He purposefully swirled so that I could dance with Nick. Ugh, why did I even agree to dance with Ben in the first place.? That guy gets nothing right.Nick looked down at me and groaned inwardly. Having no choice left, he pulled me to dance with him. I awkwardly danced with my brother, hiding from the teasing looks my friends were giving me.Nick seemed to be mad at Ben too because he never stopped glaring at him. On the other hand, Ben moved as far away from us as possible, just in case Nick resorted to acting violently.I mumbled slowly, “I never got the chance to thank you for coming.”He avoided my gaze. “I told you I didn’t-”“I know you didn’t come to me.” I cut him off. “But I’m still glad you’re here.”“Why are you doing this, Skylar?” He said. “I thought you were never going to forgive him for what he did.”“I didn’t forgive him, Nick,” I said. “I still remember wh

I never made a big deal out of it. Nor did I ever react in a manner like he just did! He could have at least thought that I kissed him for the exact same reason.Endless tears stained my face as my heart refused to take the rejection from him. I felt disgusted pour through me for kissing me. I felt so weak at the moment that it seemed impossible for me to control myself.Although we aren’t in love anymore, I never felt the disgust in kissing him. I still had something that made me make the first move. But his rejection proved an entire new point in this relationship.Images from seven years ago poured in front of my eyes. Several events of people leaving me because they didn’t want me slipped before my eyes. My mom, dad, Nick, and now Ethan.All my life I was abandoned by people I loved. No one could love me back like the way I did. And now, Ethan left me too, again.I laid there on the floor until my sobs mellowed down. I got up from the floor and straightened my dress. As I couldn’t

EthanI stared down at Skylar she came out from the water. She hesitantly looked at me while I grabbed a towel. Swinging it over her, I wrapped it around her body. She started to feel uncomfortable as it was after a long time that she was bare to my eyes.I helped her out of the tub and helped cleanse her. Her eyes still looked swollen as tears remained in her eyes and the sight of her made my heart churn.My chest tightened at the mere sight of her appearance. She looked devasted. The bastard laid his hands on her seven years ago and I refused to believe her back then. Heck, it was partly the reason why we broke up.My eyes burned when I looked at the bruises on her shoulder. It took all of my strength to not break down in front of her. She needs me to stay strong for her. I can’t break down.When she laid there, helpless with her dress stripped apart, my entire body shook with anger. I felt as though my blood boiled with the anger that needed to come out. I could only imagine how di

“Skylar, let him explain!” Ethan said in annoyance once I shut my mouth.My face turned toward him, fixing him with a hard glare. “I told you I don’t like it here.”He sighed. “Give me a valid reason as to why this place is bad.”“He doesn’t respect me!” I said, looking at the manager who was now worried about his employment in the hotel. “Where is my freaking name?”“He said Mr. and Mrs.Parker!” Ethan complained. “Don’t complain that he didn’t go with the first name. He probably doesn’t know your name.”I glared at him harder.Actually, when we finally reached the hotel here in London - yes, that’s exactly where he planned our honeymoon - I had literally seen every freaking thing named as ‘welcome Mr. And Mrs.Parker.’So I politely asked the manager to not do stuff like that and if he really wanted to welcome us, he should also mention my name in it.To this, he disagreed. So to stay in his hotel, I disagreed. And to this behavior of mine, Ethan disagreed.“Just get me the key and le

My heart stilled for a second. “Jake?”“You know me so well, sweetheart.” He said. “How are you doing? Missed me?”I gulped and looked around to find Ethan. He was talking to the salesgirl who was taking his card from him.“Uh-uh, don’t call your husband, baby.” He said. “That won’t be a smart move considering the hooded guy behind him.”Sweat began to form on my head as I looked beyond Ethan’s shoulder to find a hooded guy with a mask gesturing me to shut my mouth. I gulped at the sight of him and spoke into the phone.“What do you want?”“You.” He said, with an evil laugh. “Haha, I’ll have you later baby. But now, I need you to remove the changes you’ve pressed against me.”“Rot in hell, Jake,” I said. “I will-”“Do you see that guy behind your husband?” He asked. I looked back at the hooded guy to bow see that he held a pistol underneath his gloves.My eyes widened. “No..”“It won’t take a second for him to shoot your husband..” he said. “He is a very loyal person to me. He will ki

He smiled and shook his head. “You think a lot about the people around you, don’t you?”I shrugged.“Then to what do I owe this horrible treatment from you?” He gave me a tight smile.I smirked. “Well, unlike you, people here are nice and less annoying and controlling.”“Don’t you dare call me controlling.” He said. “Everything in this marriage is basically controlled by you!”“Excuse me?” I laughed with fakeness dripping from the core. “I’m controlling this marriage? Please, I didn’t even know where we were going for a honeymoon until I landed here. You tell me nothing and do everything according to your wish!”“That’s not true.” He said. “We’re in London because you have always wanted to go here for a honeymoon.”“When did I-”“Remember the time in high school where we used to pretend we’re in the future and you always used to say how you wanted to go to London for a honeymoon because it’s romantic?”“Yes.. but that.. how do you even remember it?” I asked, shocked my self.“Of cours

Ethan’s P.O.V.I got out of the hotel cellar when my phone rang in my pockets. I grabbed it from the inside and took the call.“Who’s it?” I asked in a hurry.“How are you doing, cousin?” Jake’s voice rang in my ears. “Did the news reach you?”I gritted my teeth in anger. “I’m not even surprised. How can you fall so low on your part?”“Well, you got me arrested. Who puts their family behind the bars for some chick who’s going to be in your life only for the next few months or perhaps, years.?” He said.“Skylar is my family. At least for the next few months. So don't you dare go there right now.” I said.He chuckled in response. “Well, you know you can’t trust her completely. She did get me out of the jail.”I gripped the phone in anger. “And such ungrateful piece of shit you are.”He laughed again. “Ungrateful? What are you talking about, brother? I’m going to make sure to have her in safe hands.”“Yes, like being with you is the safest place she could be in,” I said.“Hold on there.

"I missed you guys," I said and hugged the first person I found, who ended up being Jen."I missed you guys, too." she said, wearing a face splitting grin. "how long has it been since all of us met? If I remember it correctly, it was almost four years ago."We were in touch all these years but it was never possible for us to meet all our friends together. It was definitely a reunion we had all been waiting for.Soon, the party started in full form. The guys grouped up near the bar to have drinks and the ladies found a table with the kids to gossip."Oh, look those morons gulping shots like they have no worry in the world." Jen scoffed beside me. "And here we are taking care of the children.""Cut them some slack, will you?" Lucy interjected. "They have pretty stressful job handling work, kids and their wives. Plus, they deserve it once in a while.""Well, hello miss newlywed." Stella said from across the table, "Lucky for you, Zac is the best out of all those dick heads. Although I'm

If there was one day in his calendar when Ethan let me do something for him without him returning the favour - then it was definitely his birthday.It was the day I had always looked forward to, more than anything, since it gave me an easy excuse to do things for him that were bound to make him incredibly happy.I recalled his birthday a few years ago when we flew to Paris to celebrate it. We were making love until midnight, and right when the clock struck twelve, I broke the news to him. According to him, that is still the most memorable and most cherishing moment of his life."We're pregnant," I said, my facing breaking into a huge grin.He was hovering over me, after an intense lovemaking session, and was just about to go for my lips when I uttered the words. I felt his entire body freeze under my palms as soon as he heard them and his eyes instantly shot up to mine."What?" he asked, as though he couldn't believe what he just heard.Only we knew why the news meant so much to us at

“Skylar, this outrageous! It’s been six months!” Ethan complained from the kitchen.“I told you I’m not going to let you touch me until Katie and Kevin are at least five years old.” I said, climbing up the stair to our room.The heard footsteps follow me from behind, more hastily than I mine. As I reached the last step, Ethan pulled me back by my waist and pinned me to the wall.I waited for the wall to hit my head and knock me down, but luckily for me, Ethan already anticipated it and placed his hand on my head.“I cannot wait for another four and a half years to have sex with my wife.” he affirmed. “You know you’re being unreasonable.”I frowned at him. “Hey, you’re not the one who carried twins in your womb. You’re not the one who almost died in labour for two whole days. And you’re not the one who pushed two very persistent babies out of your vagina just six months ago. Do you even know how that feels? Painful. And do you also know who caused that? You!”“Wait, now I’m supposed to

I fell onto my knees at that instant.She’s pregnant.Skylar is carrying my baby.We’re going to have a baby.Our baby.No.No.No.Skylar needs to survive.“No.,” I said. “You can’t let anything happen to her or the baby. Please.” I begged her. “Please save them.”“It’s a very risky job.” She explained. “She has a bullet inside her. And we don’t think a pregnant mother can survive it.”“No.. she can’t just leave me alone. We cannot let our baby die.”“We’re going to give your best. We’ll try to save both of them.” She said.****It has been five hours already. Everyone I knew was in the hospital.I decided to not disclose about the pregnancy to anyone. Although I don’t want to be a pessimist about it, I can’t help but be practical about the situation.I knew that the odds weren’t in my favour. And if just one of them survives through the operation, I don’t want Skylar to know we were ever going to have a baby.Owen thought that was extremely cruel of me to even think about it. But I

I widened my hands and kicked them from behind but the the person was too strong. I heard them asking me to calm down in an instant I turned around to look at them.It was all dark and I could barely spot the standing figure.“Skylar, it’s me.” Ethan’s voice rang in my ears.“Ethan..” I said breathless.The next second, I fell into his arms. He picked my face up and I felt him brush his lips against mine. Tears ran out of my eyes continuously as I clung onto him.“How are.. what are you doing- how did you get here?” I asked him.“I can’t tell you that right now. We need to go-”“She’s here!!!” I heard one of the men yell from behind us. “He’s with her!”I could barely take in some air before Ethan pulled my hand. I sensed him pull out a gun and point it to my head. I widened my eyes in disbelief. What is he up to?“Drop your gun, or she is dead.” I heard him.For a second I wonder if I was truly in the hands of my husband or not. Is he threatening to kill me?“Are you stupid? They kno

“How am I ever going to recognise them!”“They know you.” He said. “That shouldn’t be a problem. Once you go to them, you should obey whatever they say. You cannot-”“Fine.” I cut him off. “But how can I trust you?”“You simply will have to.”“That’s not going to be enough reason.” I said.“Well, I see you have something in mind. What is it?”I drew in some air. “I want you to send one of the girls to Stella. Only then, I’ll come.”“Bloody hell. That’s not-”“That’s the only way I can trust you.” I said. “I’m just asking for you to send one of them. You can still have one girl to use against me, don’t you? I will come for her.”There was a long pause.I gave him the time to think. I knew that what I was doing is not right. I knew I should be trusting Ethan but I can’t risk the twins’ life on this. What Ethan can’t find them soon enough? What if Jake hurts them? I could not let that happen.I also knew the twins needed each other at that time. They could be there for each other. But if

I was obliged to stay put inside our confined room for hours. Not a single message. Not a single phone call.Ethan kept himself busy with the search for the girls whilst keeping a bunch of men around our house.I highly doubted if I needed, since Jake would never pull an ordinary stunt like that. He is smart. He is capable of doing something that no one expects. Not even us, who know him better than anyone else.If Jake is really obsessed with the idea of pursuing me, he will have nothing to do with the girls. He will set them free, but it will have a price to pay.All I want is for Ethan and his men to find the girls before he hurts them and uses them against us. His actions will do no good for anyone. Not even to himself, at a point.I sighed and rested on the couch. Right then, I got a call.“Yes?” I answered into the phone.“Where are you?” Ethan asked.“I am still here in the place you locked me in.”“Can you elaborate?”“No.” I replied.“Skylar.” He called out my name in a warni

“I’m.. Ethan you don’t have to.. I.. uh.. just stop this freaking blood!” I said, uncertain about the words that were lingering at the tip of my tongue. i couldn’t comprehend my thoughts. A part of me was feeling terrible to see him like this. But a part of him was still upset that he hadn't believed it. It wasn't the first time it was happening. He chose to trust somebody else's words over mine and it cost us our relationship.He obviously feels more responsible for what happened. But this was bound to happen anyways. I would’ve been attacked at any cost. Jake and Luke are not the kind of people that would let me go without trying for it a million times. Our only regret is to have Mila and Evie pay for it.“Yes.. just a second.” He ducked down and grabbed something from one of the drawers. He poured some liquid into it and put it too my neck in a hurry.I winced in pain and pushed his hand away.“I.. I’m sorry, did it hurt?” He asked, panic evident in his eyes.Of course, it did!“No

“Get me the girls!” I said, pushing away a pair of hands coming my way.“Ma’am, we need to stop the blood-” one of the men that rushed into the parking lot right after the lights were turned on spoke in a hurry.“Where’s Ethan?” I asked him. “Call him right now! Tell him that the girls-”“What girls, ma’am?” The man asked. “We haven’t seen any-”I stroke my hand right across his face. His face was filled with bewilderment as he clutched the side of his cheek.“I’m not fucking hallucinating! Go check your security cameras and you will find two girls with me. Hoe the fuck does this mall work? Do you honestly not notice when a kidnapper comes in and takes away kids? What-”I cut myself off when I found someone coming my way. In an instant, Stella was before me.“Where are my girls?” Stella asked, looking around. “Where are they? Are they in the car?”“Stella, you need to listen to me. The girls.. The girls aren’t here.” I said in a low voice.“What do you mean they’re not here?” She aske
