Flash Marriage: A Night To Remember 38. Ivan Carlos
“All I’ve been waiting for is a moment when you’d stand up to my mother,” Ivan whispered into my ear as he held me in his embrace.His words sent a rush of confusion and anger through me. I pulled out of the hug hastily, glaring at him, my heart pounding with disbelief. How could he say that now, after everything? I turned to Nora, who stood a few feet away, her arms crossed, staring at me with amusement in her eyes.“You think this is funny?” I snapped, my voice shaking with emotion. Nora raised an eyebrow, a smirk playing on her lips. “Funny? No, just… interesting. I didn’t think you had it in you.”Mrs. Carlos groaned in frustration, her eyes darting between me and Ivan, her anger barely contained. “Mark, Frank. Get this lowlife out of here.“The whispers in the dining hall increased with gasp and chattering. As the two bodyguards standing by the door rushed towards where I was ready to pull me away but Ivan came between us, his figure blocking them from reaching me.“No one is ta

“I can't take this anymore,” Mrs. Carlos groaned, turning on her heel and storming out of the room. The sharp sound of her heels echoed through the hall, punctuating her retreat.Nora followed quickly, her face twisted in frustration. She shot one last glare at Ivan before leaving, but said nothing. That left just Ivan and me, standing in the middle of a room full of people, all watching, waiting for the next move. I wrapped my arms around myself, feeling exposed, uncertain. I knew I should leave. There was nothing more to say or do, so I turned, ready to walk away. But before I could take a step, Ivan grabbed my hand, holding me in place.“I won't let you leave me again,” he said, his voice low and filled with emotion. I looked at him, and for the first time, I saw tears glistening in his eyes. He was breaking right in front of me, and it sent a surge of confusion through my heart.Ivan turned to the crowd, still holding my hand, and took a deep breath, as if trying to compose himse

I froze, my hand still on the door handle, heart racing. The words hung in the air, heavy and undeniable. Ivan’s voice, calm but filled with certainty, echoed in the quiet room.“How… how do you know?” I whispered, my eyes darting in surprise as I clenched the golden-brown purse in my hands. I couldn’t bring myself to look at him, terrified of what I might see in his eyes.“I’ve known for a while,” he said softly, stepping closer. “It wasn’t hard to figure out, Vera. She looks just like me. I noticed it the first time I saw her, and she has the same energy. But I didn’t say anything because I thought I was wrong. I figured you must’ve been married by now. But after some digging, I realized you were single.”I clenched my fists, trying to keep myself steady. “You’re spying on me?” I scoffed, finally turning to face him, my anger simmering beneath the surface. “I don’t understand why you’d go to such lengths after three years of silence. Apart from your mother’s threats, I wanted to lea

After putting Kelly to bed, I walked into the living room, where Brenda was sitting on the couch, clearly waiting for me. Her eyes lit up with curiosity, eager to hear what had happened after the media stopped recording the chaos at the dinner.“Tell me you guys settled things,” Brenda said excitedly, practically bouncing in her seat. “I love that Ivan stood up for you. That’s what real love is.”I smiled faintly and collapsed onto the couch opposite her, the weight of the evening pressing down on me. “I’m scared, Brenda,” I admitted, my voice barely more than a whisper.Brenda blinked, her face shifting to one of concern. “What are you scared of?”“Ivan standing up to his mother today… it might have just made everything worse,” I confessed, my stomach twisting with anxiety. “I know Mrs. Carlos. She doesn’t stop until she gets what she wants. She’ll come after me, Brenda. I can feel it.”Brenda frowned, then brightened again, trying to ease my worry. “You’re overthinking it. What’s th

I got back into the car after witnessing the remains of my flower shop, my heart pounding in my chest. The flower shop was all I had, and now it was gone, reduced to ashes. I didn’t know where to start or what to do next.When I returned home, Brenda and Kelly were sitting on the couch. Brenda had a worried look on her face, even though she was clearly trying to hide it. When Kelly saw me, she rushed over, hugging my legs tightly.“Mommy, I'm happy we're going to the shop,” she said cheerfully. “I get to help you at your flower shop!”Brenda and I exchanged a look, both of us wondering how we were going to tell Kelly that there wasn’t a flower shop anymore. The thought of breaking her heart made mine ache.I knelt down to her level, trying to keep my voice steady. “Bab, listen to Mommy for a moment.” I paused, searching for the right words, but I knew I couldn’t lie to her. She deserved the truth. “Mommy’s shop... it caught fire last night. We won’t be able to go back there for now an

I exchanged glances with Brenda, who nodded softly. “I think for now, this is what’s best. Don’t worry, I’ll be fine.”“I don’t know,” I mumbled, fear gripping my heart as memories of my mother flooded my thoughts. No matter how much I loved Ivan or how much I wanted to be close to him, I couldn’t stop thinking about all the impossibilities in our lives.Ivan stepped forward and sat next to me, taking my hand gently in his. “I promise you, Vera, I’ll protect you and Kelly with my life. I won’t let anyone or anything harm either of you.”I looked up into his eyes. The sincerity in his voice sent a spark through me, and for the first time, I believed him. A part of me felt that the only place I could truly be safe was with him. Brenda stood in the corner, and I was sure if I looked her way, she’d be encouraging me to take the leap.I sighed, releasing the tension that had built up in my chest. Just as I was about to respond, Kelly walked into the living room. The moment she saw Ivan, sh

Brenda urged me, “Now go and tell him that you agree to move in with him,” as I walked over to the sink to rinse my hands. After drying them off, I turned to leave, but she called me back. “Please don’t ruin things. You can have your heartfelt talk or whatever later.”I gave her a thin-lipped smile, knowing she was doing her best to keep me from overthinking. I didn’t want to make things worse either. “Alright, I won’t.”She nodded encouragingly, a smile spreading across her face.She gave me an encouraging nod that was followed by a smile. I walked into the living room and saw Ivan sitting on the couch with Kelly lying on his chest, fast asleep. The sight softened my heart. Ivan's hand gently rested on her back, his gaze fixed on her peaceful face. For a moment, all the chaos seemed to fade away, replaced by a warmth I hadn’t felt in a long time.I took a deep breath and stepped closer, my voice low as I spoke. “Ivan?”He looked up at me, his expression softening further. “Hey,” he w

“Promise me you’ll be fine,” Brenda said, her voice thick with emotion as we stood next to the limo parked in front of her house. Ivan and Kelly were already inside, waiting for me to join them.“I’ll try,” I said, giving her a soft smile, “but you know you can always come to see me.” We wrapped each other in a tight, comforting hug, neither of us wanting to let go.“I will,” she whispered, pulling back slightly to look at me. “Please, take care of Kelly.”“I will,” I reassured her with a nod. The bodyguard stepped forward, opening the door to the limo. With one last look at Brenda, I climbed inside. She waved as the car pulled out of the driveway, her figure growing smaller as we drove away.Inside the car, Kelly was curled up next to Ivan, her head resting on his shoulder. Ivan gave me a gentle smile as I settled into the seat across from them. The weight of the moment pressed down on me as the city blurred past the windows, a mix of excitement and uncertainty swirling in my chest.

He pulled out and put it in again, going faster as I held onto him, his mouth finding mine in a searing kiss.

We spent a long time on the lawn that night, our bodies entwined as we lay side by side on the soft grass, staring up at the sky. The moon was full, its silvery light casting a glow over the world around us. A gentle breeze rustled the trees in the distance, carrying with it the scent of pine and fresh earth. I felt a deep sense of contentment, a peacefulness I hadn’t known in years.“I never thought a time like this would come,” I said softly, breaking the silence, my voice barely above a whisper. “After all that your mom did to me.” I turned my head to look at Ivan, who still had his gaze fixed on the sky, his profile illuminated by the soft glow of the moon.He didn’t respond right away, but I saw the faint smile tug at the corners of his lips. After a moment, he turned toward me, his blue eyes meeting mine with an intensity that took my breath away. “I knew it would come,” he said, his voice steady, reassuring. “But I didn’t think it would be this soon.”He pulled me closer to hi
Flash Marriage: A Night To Remember 104. My Crush
Brenda had her bags packed as we stood together at the doorway, holding each other in a long, tight hug. She had been my rock throughout all the madness, and now she was going on a vacation for her work trip.“I’m going to miss you,” I said, my voice heavy with emotion. “I don’t know how I would have gotten through any of this without you.”Brenda smiled, pulling back to look at me, her eyes filled with warmth. “You’ve been strong, Veronica. Stronger than you give yourself credit for. I’m always just a call away, and don’t you dare forget that. You're always welcome in Paris whenever you feel like seeing your Fav cousin.”“I won’t forget all you did for me.” I said, wiping a tear that had started to roll down my cheek. “Thank you for everything.”We shared one last hug before she picked up her suitcase. Mark, her new romantic interest, was waiting by the car, ready to drive her to the airport. She gave me a wink and a playful nudge toward the house.“Take care of that man in there and

“Yes, Alfonso, I'll come over today to give you the mansion documents,” Ivan said as I walked into the living room. He was sitting on the couch, phone in hand, his tone serious. “Make sure it's confidential. I don't want anyone knowing about it.”I placed the cup of coffee I was holding on the table and took a seat opposite him. His call ended, and he looked at me with a warm smile. “Thanks, my love, for the coffee,” he said, reaching for his cup.I smiled back, taking a sip from mine, but I couldn't shake the thoughts swirling in my mind. I lowered my gaze, and Ivan noticed the unease written across my face. He stood up, still holding his cup, and moved to sit beside me, his expression softening with concern.“What’s wrong, my love?” he asked gently, placing his hand on my shoulder. The warmth of his touch was comforting, but it wasn’t enough to ease the knot tightening in my chest.I sighed, my voice shaky as I spoke. “I’m just thinking... since you're selling the mansion here in Pa

Ivan’s hand found mine, squeezing it gently. “I was blind, Veronica. I thought I was protecting my family, but in reality, I was only protecting their lies. I hate that it took me so long to realize.”I was silent for a moment, letting his words sink in. The hurt, the betrayal, it was still there, but hearing Ivan acknowledge his role in it, hearing him apologize with such sincerity, softened some of the walls I had built.“I just wanted to be enough for you, Ivan,” I whispered. “But your mother made me feel like I was nothing, and you… you never defended me.”He turned toward me, lifting my chin so our eyes met. “You were always enough, Veronica. I’m so sorry I didn’t make you feel that way. I was too wrapped up in my own fears, in trying to live up to what my mother expected. But that’s over now.”I nodded, my heart aching with a mixture of relief and sadness. “I don’t want to go through that again, Ivan. I can’t. Kelly can’t.”“I know,” he whispered, his voice full of regret. “I do
Flash Marriage: A Night To Remember 101. Kiss Me
“Daddy, why's mommy over there is she trying you?“ Kelly asked looking up at Ivan. Her question seemed innocent enough, but it hung in the air like a fragile thread, threatening to unravel the delicate balance I was trying to keep.Ivan glanced at me, his eyes searching for some kind of permission or understanding. I shifted uncomfortably in my seat, not sure how to handle the moment. How could we explain this tangled mess to Kelly without breaking her heart?Ivan smiled down at Kelly and gently stroked her hair. “No, sweetheart. Mommy’s just giving us some time to enjoy our ice cream. She’s not avoiding me.” He tried to keep his tone light, but even Kelly could sense that things weren’t right.She wrinkled her nose, unconvinced. “But you should sit together. Like in the movies.”Ivan chuckled softly, though it was strained. “Maybe someday we will, princess. For now, let’s just enjoy our ice cream, okay?”Kelly, satisfied for the moment, returned her focus to her ice cream, but I coul

“Mommy, are they gone?” Kelly whispered, pushing open the door and making her way towards us.I turned towards her and scooped her up into my arms. “Yes, honey. They’re gone,” I said softly as I carried her over to the couch in the living room, placing her gently down.She looked up at me, her innocent eyes filled with expectation. “Is it Daddy?” she asked, her voice small but hopeful.I hesitated, glancing at Brenda, who was sitting on the couch, her attention fixed on her phone. The weight of Kelly’s question hung in the air. How could I explain everything to her, a child who only wanted to feel safe and loved by the people she thought should protect her?I opened my mouth to say something when the door creaked open. I looked up and saw Ivan standing in the doorway, watching us with a mixture of hope and regret. He was part of Kelly’s life, whether I liked it or not, but the complexities of our situation made everything more difficult.I sat down next to Kelly, brushing a hand throu
Flash Marriage: A Night To Remember 99. The Truth
Mrs. Carlos’ face paled, her eyes widening in shock as the weight of Ivan’s words hit her. For the first time, her composed mask slipped, revealing the fear and desperation underneath. “Nathaniel told you…?” she whispered, her voice trembling. “That ungrateful, how dare he?”Ivan released her wrist and stepped back, shaking his head in disbelief. “Yes, he told me everything. And I still can't believe you of all people would do that to me, I thought father was the bad one. Because he left when we were young, but now I see you for your true colors. I thought the problem was Nathaniel, all this time, I thought it was just him acting out of spite, but it was you pulling the strings. You did everything you could to make sure we would never be happy. And for what? Your pride? Your obsession with control, money? Did you stop for once your think about me?“Mrs. Carlos’ eyes flickered between Ivan and me, her face contorted with a mixture of fury and panic. “I did it to protect you!” she spat.

The loud banging on the door drew our attention, and I immediately stood up. "Wait here, baby. Don’t come out until I say so." I told Kelly “Okay, mommy.“ She nodded, her wide eyes filled with fear, as I closed the door behind me. My heart pounded as I made my way to the living room. The constant hammering on the door sent chills down my spine. Who could it be? The first thought that flashed through my mind was Ivan's fans. Maybe they hadn’t accepted my statement on the news and had come to confront me in person.Brenda appeared from the laundry room, her expression mirroring my own, fear. We were both terrified of who might be on the other side of that door. I stepped forward to check, but Brenda held up a hand, stopping me."You should go back," she whispered urgently. "I’ll open the door and see who it is.""It’s too dangerous. I can’t let you do that," I whispered back, glancing toward the kitchen as a possible hiding place in case it really was Ivan's fans."I’m scared, V," she
