Victoria POV:

Caleb was engaged. To Brianna. I thought about that at length the next day. It was driving me crazy. I didn’t understand how he could fall in love with someone like her. I watched as the movers I had hired carried everything to their truck. It pained me to have to pay for the service because movers were not cheap but I could not spend another minute with Caleb. I felt so betrayed by him. I had to talk to someone so I called Alice.

“Hello, sunshine! How is it going with Caleb? Have you two patched things up?” she asked, sounding very curious.

I had not told her anything last night as we had initially agreed upon and I was sure that the suspense was killing her but I did not have it in me to indulge her so I went straight to the point.

“Did you know that Caleb and Brianna were engaged?” I asked.

“Ah!” that was the only thing that she said before she kept quiet.

Her silence was completely telling.

“How could you not tell me! This is the kind of thing that I need to know.

    Victoria POVI walked up to the stairs of my apartment building feeling exhausted from the drive and how emotionally taxing the past week had been. I was excited to go back to work and reestablish some sort of routine in my life. When I unlocked the door to my apartment I was not prepared for the sight that awaited me in the living room.There were wrappers of different foods and snacks all over the ground. I noticed a trail of ants that were all leading to a half-eaten apple in the corner of the room that looked like it was rotting. There was an array of dirty clothes; boxers, socks, a t- shirt strewn all over the room, and a pile of dirty dishes on the coffee table that was so high, I was surprised it had not fallen over.The smell that hit my nose was so pungent that it stung to inhale the air in the room. I knew that it would take forever to get that stench out of my furniture and clothes. In the center of it all, was my boyfriend, Gabe Jefferson who had somehow managed to turn o

    Caleb POV:I shifted in my seat as I counted the minutes till we could touch down again. The flight from Arizona to Los Angeles was short but I still hated every second of it. Something about being thousands of feet up in the air in a two-hundred-tonne metal machine did not sit right with me. We experienced some turbulence and I clutched even tighter to my seat.Bree on the other hand was right at home. She had her sleeping mask on and decided to take a little nap. I had tried to do the same but despite how comfortable the first-class seats were, I could not do it.Victoria’s face crossed my mind and I became even more frustrated. She was the most infuriating person that I knew. I hated how easily she had gotten under my skin. I last saw her when she came to finish unpacking the last batch of her mother’s stuff. I contemplated helping her out but I had a feeling that I was the last person that she wanted to see so I stayed out of her way.It sucked that we had fixed our relationship b

    Caleb POV:She grazed my tip light with her teeth and I felt a shudder go through me. I knew that I was close. I grabbed her by her ponytail and she went completely still, allowing me to use her mouth. I closed my eyes tightly as I approached my climax. I pictured Brianna and all the wonderful things that she was doing to me with her tongue but it was all wrong. Her blue eyes were a different deeper shade of blue and her hair was fiery red.I kept going and climaxed, emptying myself out into her waiting mouth. I almost fell to the ground after I came.She, on the other hand, stood up, chuckled as she gave me a kiss on the cheek, and left the shower like she had not just given me a mind-blowing blow job. After it closed the door and the cloud of post-nut bliss cleared, it finally hit me. I had just orgasmed thinking about Victoria.That did not bode well for me.I finished my shower quickly and went to Brianna wondering how I would be able to face her. If she noticed that I was acting

    Victoria POV: It had been a month since mom and Tom’s wedding. She had finally come home from a month long honeymoon in Hawaii, happy as a clam and sporting a gorgeous tan that I was very jealous of. Seeing how giddy she was affirmed my approval of Tom. I had not seen this version of my mom in a long time. We had talked a couple of times on facetime while she was away. Our conversations always seemed to be short because she always seemed to be rushing off from one activity to the next. I missed her but I loved that she was having the time of her life. One time during a video call, Tom came into the room with a flower for my mom and kissed her cheek which made her giggle. My mom. Giggled. I acted like I was absolutely disgusted by the display of affection when the truth is I was jealous of what they had. My mother was deeply and hopelessly in love while my relationship on the other hand was in the literal pits of hell. Over the past month, I started feeling more and more that Gabe an

After a moment of silence, the girls erupted into cheers and applause. I could hear Ben, Alice’s husband, grumbling in the background, complaining about the commotion.

I could not believe that I had gone for almost two months without seeing my dad. That rarely ever happened.Eric, Dad, and I were pretty close and got even closer after the divorce.

    Victoria POV:It had been two weeks since I officially moved back to Sedona. I had put all my furniture into a strange facility because I knew that I would need them once I moved back out of Stallone's guest house. I was sad about leaving the life that I had built for myself in Phoenix but I was even more excited for the new possibilities that had opened up for me in Sedona. I had already secured the job at Mrs. Pullman’s bakery. The pay was just a little less than what I was getting at La Grande and this time, I wasn’t going to be spending any of that money on rent or keeping a grown man fed so I took it immediately and so far, it had been a blast. I was catering to myself and my needs first.It also didn’t hurt that my mom and Alice were so close by. I got to see them whenever I wanted and it had been such a huge blessing. They helped me to settle down and validated my decision which I desperately needed. When mom mentioned that they were having a family dinner because Caleb was co

    Caleb POV:I looked at Victoria in shock after her outburst. I refused to believe what she had just told me about Brianna. I tried reconciling it with the Brianna I knew and loved and none of it made sense. “You’re lying. You have to be lying. She is nothing like that. Do you really think I would have gone for all these years without noticing?” I asked her. She shook her head in disbelief and scoffed. “Tell me Caleb, what would I have to gain by making this up,” she asked.I couldn’t think of a reason why she would make up that lie and it scared me. I knew Victoria or at least I used to. She would not lie about such a serious accusation, especially one that had such serious repercussions if she wasn’t completely sure. If this was true then it meant that I didn’t really know the person that I was planning to marry and it would mean that I would need to reconsider everything.“I don’t know but why should I believe you? You are giving me just your side of the story. How do I know that

When I saw him in his little tux, my heart melted. I couldn't believe that it had only been a year since I gave birth to him.

I didn’t know that I could love someone so little so much. Being a mom meant that you literally walked around every day with your heart outside your body.

When I asked Caleb if he saw it too, he told me that it was probably in my head.

Let me know when you’re available.ToriI pumped my fist up in the air. This was huge. I had absolutely no hope that she would text back let alone be open to meeting with me. If she wanted, I would get into my car and drive to Sedona right away as tired as I was, I felt a surge of energy go through my body. I had to take deep breaths to calm myself down before I responded. I didn’t want to push my luck.How about tomorrow? I could come down to Sedona.I texted back then dropped my phone like it was hot metal. I worried that maybe I sounded too eager. I was so nervous, I didn't think I was capable of playing it coo

They were all waiting for me to shed light on the situation. I was still loss for words. Tori was actually blaming me for what happened to her store. I was in shock.“I don’t know. Tori never told me anything about Brianna threatening her. It’s the first I’ve heard of this,” I finally said.I was having a very hard time wrapping my head around the fact that Brianna could have done something like that. It wasn't like her at all, especially judging from the amount of damage that had been done to the store if my dad’s account of events was anything to go by.“Do you know where Brianna is right now?” my dad asked. “No, I haven’t seen or heard from her since we broke up so I have no way of knowing where she is. Wait, do you guys actually think that Brianna did this? There is no way.”Eric ran his hand

    Victoria's POVA full day after Caleb had dropped the bomb on me, I was still in the trenches. I felt like shit. He had single-handedly managed to turn my entire world upside down. When I walked into the living room, I got flashbacks of our conversation. The wounds hurt all over again. That’s when I knew that I had to make a change. I couldn't keep living in the same house where I had spent countless nights thinking about him.I had been secretly browsing real estate listings for weeks, not telling anyone about my plans to move because I wasn't even sure if it was what I wanted.
