And I am so proud of you, you don't know how much I love you and how proud I am to call you my daughter. I know with time, in your own time, you'll say everything you need to, but as of now, I am happy that you're marrying an amazing person like Charles Frost. I wish you all the happiness life has to offer, and I hope, that you'll live life the way you deserve" my father says and pulls me into a hug.
I chuckle, trying to restrain myself from crying."Veronica will kill me if I mess up this makeup" I dab under my eyes with my index finger and sniffle "Thank you so much dad, for believing and trusting in me. I know mom is still angry""She'll come around" he says and I nod, hugging him again."My turn my turn my turn" I know this voice so well."Diane" I

"So when are the babies coming?" Veronica asks, snapping at her nails. My eyes turn as wide as saucers, and I burst out laughing. "What babies?" "The babies you and Charles are going to make" she looks at me like 'did you seriously just ask me that?' "Sorry to burst your bubble but there are no babies" I say with a laugh. I glance around at the reception, how well everyone is enjoying themselves. I see Diane and Benjamin bickering, again. Ever since they met earlier today, they haven't gotten along. The first argument was about which team was better, Liverpool or Manchester United. Which to me was so off topic. I mean you just met, talk about what you do or something. Football, really? When did Diane even become a football fan? "Okay, tell me, you guys kissed today at the wedding, and that kiss was too deep and intense to be a first kiss... have you guys kissed before and you haven't told me?" She asks and oh oh
HIDDEN SECRETS The Desire
I know I said I didn't fancy Pakistan being the potential place for us to spend our honeymoon but I've enjoyed the place since we arrived yesterday.When we arrived, Charles and I decided to stay in. We watched movies, ordered food, made out, talked about anything and everything we came up with. But today, he had to attend the launch and branch opening of the new company over here. He begged me to come along but I didn't want to. I've been around too many people lately and my introvert self needs some space and some time alone from everyone. So I decided to use the day to roam around and do some sight-seeing. It's been so fun and I actually love this place.With my thoughts roaming and hands full of shopping bags, I bump into someone."I am so sorry" I apologize immediately, "I wasn't looking""It's okay" the stranger says and I look up, seeing him wearing glasses, which makes it almost difficult to see who he really is. "Just be c
HIDDEN SECRETS The Aftermath
Sex means different things to different people. For me, I was anxious and somewhat, scared. The flashbacks of what went on between Charles and I comes into my mind every time I think about it. It causes me to blush and feel deeply shy for no reason. It sounds unbelievable, but during the eight years that Ryan and I were together, we never had sex. We never got that far. I was never interested in getting that far. And he knows it. I didn't want to have sex before marriage, and I made that very clear. So after a few failed attempts of trying to coerce me into sleeping with him, he gave up. Knowing my mind was set, it was not going to happen. And yes, it has occurred to before. A lot of times actually, that it may just have been the reason why he slept with Eva, because he probably didn't get from me what he wanted. But each and everyday, I'm glad of the decision I made. Charles was astonished, that I hadn't slept with anyone. That at twenty five, I

I pour some milk into the minced meat and pour in the cooked pasta. I melt some cheese into it and mix it together.Since we came back yesterday, I've been craving Fettuccini.Yesterday, Charles moved us into the mansion and told me that this would be our new home. I would admit, the place is huge. I haven't even looked around. I am happy. I don't know how many times I am going to say this. But I am happy. I'm not the best at choosing others, but I would choose Charles a million times. He makes me happy without even trying. And although my past love life did not end well, I hope that this would last. No matter what. I know there are going to be ups and downs. But I'm willing to push through. To stay. To fight for us. And I really hope, that this is going to last.Two strong arms wrap around my waist from behind and from the way my heart skipped a beat and my insides reacted to that cinnamon scent, I know it's Charles.When di

"Baby, you know that software company that wants to sign up with Frost Capital?" I ask, mixing lettuce and cabbage with carrots together, making vegetables for dinner."Yes... my assistant gave me the files today. I'll check it through and go for the meeting tomorrow""You could allow me to attend the meeting for you. I'd love to." I say, leaving the vegetables and walking to him."You work too much anyway" I peck his lips, wrapping my arms around his neck from where he is seated on the kitchen chair "Besides, I'm bored and I want to know what you do, it'll also let me out of the house don't you think?" I peck him again, trying to coerce him to allow me"Can you?"I climb up onto his lap and straddle him, "Are you questioning my abilities?" I ask with an eyebrow raised"No my love. I just don't want to bother you. This house is very huge, but you manage to keep it in check, you don't even want me to bring
HIDDEN SECRETS The Stranger
It's been a week since my revenge against Ryan. In full honesty, I was expecting him to come at me, but he's been quiet. Too silent. Has his mother not heard? Scratch that, has my own mother not heard? Since she is so bent on supporting them rather than her own daughter. Aside that, it's been three weeks since I got married. My married life is the best so far. Charles is such a gentleman. And each and every day we know each other a bit better. Each and everyday the feelings I have for him grow into something more amazing. I am utterly in love with the man. Yet, I have not told him. The reason, I don't know. I'm not so sure. I turn around in the king size bed that is situated in the middle of the room Charles and I share. The wide glass windows show a beautiful sight of the sunrise, making it known to me that it is now morning. I turn around in my bed, and face Charles who is still very much asleep. His hair is now resting on his eyes and his arm i
HIDDEN SECRETS The Attack
Being at home is amazing. It feels relaxing. I get to gather my thoughts, being an introvert as well, it is exciting since I get to recharge my batteries after being around so many people. My introvert self needs to stay away from everyone once in a while and just have some alone time. Sometimes I don't know if it's only me, but it's the way I feel. Up until today, Veronica thinks it's an absurd thing. The only thing I miss is the hospital, taking care of patients and noticing the looks of relief that take place on their faces when you inform them that there's nothing wrong and that they're alright. Aside that reassuring the others who unfortunately aren't so lucky that everything is going to be fine. I miss my job. I miss my office.I place the popcorn I took out of the microwave minutes ago on the centre table in the middle of the movie room, and turn on Dynasty on Netflix. I totally love that series. Fallon Carrington alone is a mood. I turn on the blue lights that h

It feels nice to finally have that one person, who is your entire world. No matter how big or small your problems are, when you're with that one person everything seems to work out just fine. And Elizabeth is that person for me. Sometimes it's crazy, it feels crazy, getting attached to someone so easily. Everything worked out really fast. And it worked out in our benefit. We are so comfortable around each other. Talking of being comfortable, my mind drifts to our honeymoon in Pakistan, the time we spent together. She trusted me enough to give herself to me, and that really means the world. When I found out she was a virgin at twenty five, my respect for her doubled. I admired her even more.

3 years later"Do I look okay? Am I looking fine? Elizabeth I think I need a little bit more blush on the side" I stare quietly at the ever confident Diane, who is surprisingly asking too many questions at this point. Ah! What weddings can do to you. "Diane, you look gorgeous." I place my hand on her shoulder. "Don't tell me you're getting cold feet" I joke. "I'm just a bit nervous. But I would never get cold feet. Benjamin and I have officially been together for seven years, nothing is going to let me draw out at the last minute" "Diane, I'm happy that you're happy" "Me too" "I hope you are not getting your make up smeared Diane Harding" Veronica says, entering the bride room.

"Let's start by getting you naked." Charles mutters, his voice deeper, huskier. His eyes a shade darker, full of love and lust. "I am the most impatient man right now, but we are going to take this as slow as possible" His hands find my sweater, and takes it off. I gasp when my back connects with the bed. Charles proceeds to take off my jeans along with my underwear, ridding me of my clothes in the most sensual way I never knew existed, before unclasping my bra. I close my eyes in pure ecstacy. God, how much I have missed the intoxicating touch of my husband. He stands back, just to stare at me. "I just want a moment to look at you, savour this moment. You look even more beautiful now. Sexier, fuller" he murmurs, his fingers tracing my cheek, down to my neck, down to my chest, before rounding my nipples. "Shall I make you come like this?" He asks, before his mouth wraps around my areola. "Do you want
HIDDEN SECRETS The Epilogue
Five years. Five solid years. I lost a lot. And it took five years to pick myself back up. I got myself a job when I came here, I stayed at a hotel the first few months, and the bills were killing me but thanks to my bank account, I got it easy. I rented an apartment next, and got my things in, which weren't much at the time. I decided to emerge myself into something new, so I took a majoring class in Psychology at the University Of Melbourne. It was like starting life like a high school graduate all over again. Already having a degree in medicine, I caught on quickly. Now I'm a psychologist, at the same time a paediatric surgeon. My reason for getting into psychology was simple, I wanted to help people find themselves as my therapist helped me to find myself. It doesn't do everything for you, but talking to someone helps. I'm a motivational speaker as well, going for talk shows here and
HIDDEN SECRETS The Painful But Necessary Goodbyes
"I know you saw everything that happened" "You don't have to talk about it if you don't want to" "Please Charles. Enough of that kindness. You deserve to know the truth" I sigh "The man I've been with till the time Ryan cheated was not Ryan, it was Brent, the man who got arrested" I see the shock and surprise on his face "Apparently Ryan hit his sister with a car and she died, so he came into my life wanting revenge, and I made it easy for him. I know Ryan was wrong, I know that he could have been the good man and mend his mistakes, get that girl to the hospital, and maybe, just maybe she would still be alive today." I pause and take in a deep breath "I'm tired Charles, I'm tired. All this is too much, I don't know how many more surprises I can take" I say and Charles pulls me into a hug. I wipe the tears on my face and try to muster some confidence within me, because I know the next words are going
HIDDEN SECRETS The Hard Truth
During the car ride to wherever Helena says Ryan is, my heart can't stop beating at the rate that it is. My daughter just died, and I have barely been able to hold myself up. And then this happens, Ryan. The man who I thought cheated on me, the man that I have harboured so much hatred and anger for, is not Ryan Spencer, the man I grew up in love with. Does this change my life? Will I allow it to? How sure am I that Helena is saying the truth? Because I really don't want to believe her. Because this is so hard to digest. So painful to swallow. Am I ready to face the hard truth? Is it even the truth?What hurts me more is what I have done. What I did. I ruined his life. Destroyed everything. His reputation? Check. His job? Check. His whole life that I brought tumbling down? Check. And meanwhile he's lying in a warehouse somewhere, like a vegetable. For a whole 365 days.Oh Lord, I'm spent.

HIDDEN SECRETS The Astounding Confession
It's been a week since my life went downhill. Everything is quiet in this mansion. The happiness has been sucked out of it just as the life has been sucked out of me with the death of my child. Most often than not, I wish I didn't let Jenna go away, because I really would love some company. This serene quietness is testing my sanity bit by bit, but all the same, I still love the quiet. Charles offered to stay at home with me for as long as I want. He was prepared to work from home just so that he can be by my side. He isn't taking the pain well either, but he's handling it better than I am. Way better. I guess he's trying to be strong for the both of us. Strong for me. Either way, I sent him off to work. Frost Capital is the only right thing going on in our lives right now, and we can't lose that as well. It's the only present thing standing, and we don't want it to come tumbling down like everything else. People come and go, family, trying
HIDDEN SECRETS The Unbearable Pain: The Loss Of My Child
Elizabeth Frost POV My eye lids flutter open, and it feels all too familiar like the last time I fainted and I was rushed here. The day I also found out that I was pregnant. Wait. Pregnant! I manage to look down at my stomach and weirdly, it isn't as huge as it was anymore. Oh I hope my baby is alright. Maybe they did an early delivery because of the accident I had. "Elizabeth" Charles mutters, pulling me out of my thoughts. His face looks pained, too pained. His eyes have so many emotions roaming in them. Regret. Pain. Guilt. Sadness, immense sadness. Oh Charles, he always takes everything that has to do with me way too damn serious. I had one accident, just one accident and he looks on the verge of death. I am safe, my baby is safe and that's all that matters. I try to sit up, and Charles helps me to do so. I rest my head back, trying to catch my breath. That seems like such a stre

"Doctor, how's my daughter doing?" Collins asks, the moment a doctor emerges from the ICU "She's in coma right now. The car accident took an impact on her brain, so there's a possibility she might not remember some things. But she's alright, and the baby is safe" he says and everyone breathes a relief. Amnesia or not, she might be fine. My phone rings, cutting off my attention. "Dad?" "Bambina" he says, his voice broken "Dad are you okay?" I ask him, feeling bothered about the fact that he's sounding so distraught. "Yes, why, I'm fine" "Dad please. Don't lie to me. I know you well enough to know that you're not doing well right now. The sound of your voice alone is enough to cause an unease" "Bambina is your mother, I- I caught her cheating" he says, feeling choked. "What?" I whisper, not believing my ears.
