What is she doing here?
Deeply frowned at my eyes, I kept looking at them. They were talking in a hushed tone so I couldn't hear what exactly they were talking about. I just stood there near the door of the living room and kept looking at them.
What are they talking about in such a hush tone?
Jack had a grim expression on his face and that woman had a grin on her face when she heard what Jack was saying. Jack's face looked bitter when he saw her grinning. I folded both my arms around my chest as I kept looking at the exchange of conversation.
What is cooking in between them?
I thought with the same scowl on my face. S

Should I tell him the reason now why I wanted to come here because now I had found my answer too This realisation made my chest heavy with happiness as I wrapped my hands around him feeling in harmony at this moment while making him do the same as he wrapped his big hands around me engulfing me in him. I took a deep breath in his intoxicating scent. It made me feel like I was at home. We kept swinging our bodies to the slow song with a smile on our faces. I felt at this moment I was living my life to the fullest for the first time. Everything felt complete in his embrace. It felt like I only came alive in his arms. This kind of power he hands over to me. This made me tighten my hold on him to feel I had some effect on him and I got my answer when I felt him breathing in my scent. It only made me smile like an idiot.
Who will win amongst them in the court of life? I just kept looking at them as the tension in the air became thicker. I don't know-how but his green pools were making me tongue-tied as I didn't know what to say after hearing their conversation. So I choose to say the reason why I came here but before I need to apologise for interrupting their conversation. I took a deep breath before opening my mouth. "Sorry for interrupting your conversation but Ava I need to discuss something with you before you pass the documents," I said with a small smile on my face. "You didn't need to apologise as you interrupted nothing here. The conversation here was long over but some people just won't accept it" she said in a bitter tone as she finally found the energy to m
"I miss her too" These words kept on ringing in my head for the whole night. After the death of Amelia jack never for one talked about her. It first made me angry at him. She was his best friend. How can he forget my sister and his best friend? How could he forget her just like that? It pissed me off so much. He even stopped visiting our house and it made me madder at him. Even if he was Amelia's best friend I was part of their group too. Even though we were not on good terms I was still there with them everywhere they went because my sister never left me alone on my own. All the time I and Jack fought like cats and dogs letting my sister be the only peacemaker in our group. Even though we
"What is Jack hiding from me?" My heartbeat was so fast as those words repeated in my head. I heard their footsteps coming toward the door. I walked away from there with fast steps and a wildly beating heart. I didn't know why I walked away from there like I was a thief instead of confronting them in their face about what they were hiding from me. But somehow I don't find the courage to do that. I walked fast back to where aunty Sam and uncle Richard were waiting. I faintly smiled at them. Dad and Jack arrived after five minutes. "Ready to go," Jack asked, looking at me as he stood beside me while pulling me towards him. I just nodded with a faint smile on my face as my hands rested on his hard chest. Saying good night to everyone we walked out of there. Throughout the ride, I just kept thinking about their words. What poss
"Oh my God, I'm pregnant." I said those words loudly as I still couldn't believe I was carrying a life inside me. I was so excited that I'm going to be a mother and Jack a father. We are going to be parents. This whole thing was making me so happy. I wanted to tell Jack this instance that I was pregnant with our first child but I wanted to be more sure. I will wait until the test results from the doctors come. I will get them tomorrow and I can't wait anymore. I'm eagerly waiting for tomorrow to arrive. I should tell Jane about the good news. She must be waiting for my call. I walked out of the bathroom with a big smile on my face. My happy eyes were still glued to the two red lines on the pregnancy test. Even though I know the result it still felt so unreal to me. The thought of me ha
Will he be as happy as me? I wrapped my hands more tightly around him as the thought of him not being happy crossed my mind. What if he wants a kid but not now after all we are still young to start our own family. But my train of thoughts broke when he wrapped his big hands around me, taking me in his warm hug. I breathed deeply in his scent as I slowly started to feel all my worries going away in his warm arms. I didn't know when I drifted into a deep sleep. The next day Jack strictly prohibited me from coming to the office because he wanted me to rest as he saw tiredness on my face. I didn't refuse that idea as I too wanted to rest. After we had breakfast he sent me back to the room and he too covered my whole body strictly instructing me not to take it away as it was cold. Most of the time he was the one who covers
The biggest nightmare of mine has come to exist. I just kept looking at those scattered papers with my teary eyes. "Everything was such a big lie" I whispered in my crooked voice. As the realisation came down on me. My throat was clogged with a big lump. I was not even able to swallow it or throw it out. It felt like it was stuck making breathing hard for me. Each passing second was making breathing harder as the air I breathed felt like it was not meant for me to breathe. Black spots started to form in front of my vision, making me lose my consciousness. I took hold of the corner of the chair in a tight grip stopping myself from falling on the cold floor. The place I was standing was not mine in the first place. Everything felt so distant. Nothing was mine but a big fat lie in the disguise of new hope and a new beginning f
But I won't let him win this time. I won't get caught in his trap this time. It was my time to get free from his cage. I saw all the things running in front of my eyes in a never-ending loop. My heart started to ache more as I again saw how my sister was separated from me. It made me want to run again to save her but my legs felt numb. I was weeping loudly as I saw her body covered in blood and slowly life was slipping away from her eyes. I was crying so loudly for help but it seemed like everyone who was passing by couldn't hear my voice. They all were walking as if I and my sister were invisible to their eyes. All my cries and all my begging for help were nothing to them as they continued their passing by. I kne
I pulled all the bags out of the storage to pack them with my kid's clothing. "Jack help me" I shouted from storage as I needed help to carry them to our room. "Coming cupcake," he shouted from downstairs. He came to the storage room and then looked at me and the bag with confusion. "Cupcake, why do we need so many bags?" he said, eyeing all the five bags in front of me. "To lack our clothes, what else would I want so many bags," I said while dusting the bag. "But still don't you think there are too many," he asked, still eyeing the back. "No they are not I need to pack all the clothes for the kids, don't you know Aiden dirty his clothes more than three ti
"Amelia, Aiden" I called my kid's name while searching for my imported files on the desk. Why are they not answering me? "Oh God why I'm not getting it," I said in annoyance as all the things were scratched on the desk and some were even lying on the floor. I stood up with both hands on my hip and eyes on all the mess that was in front of me while exhaling deeply. My desk was a total mess and his desk in the room was not looking any better either. Yesterday I and Jack made this whole mess. We messed up our shared office when kids were at the school. My cheeks burned red as I remembered how I begged him as he kept teasing me to the point I needed to scratch his back needly. It continued until I passed out in his arms. That Satan never lets me off easily. I bit my lower lip as the mere memory of yesterday made me feel hot again. The way he was holding me while saying all the dirty words to me made me feel as if he was still
I don't know when we both slept looking at his cute sleeping face with a happy smile on our faces. The next day I woke up to find me and Jack trying to fit in a small bed trying not to squeeze the baby. He was still asleep with his one hand firmly placed on my waist as if making sure I didn't fall out of bed in the middle of the night. I looked at our sleeping baby and then at him. He was still so deep in sleep. I know we slept less because the baby woke up in the middle of the night crying telling me he was hungry. Jack stayed up with me until the baby fell asleep. Even though I told him to sleep he didn't, instead, he helped me in making the baby burp after I breast-feed him. I knew it was his way of saying he was there for both of us. It warms my heart knowing he was willing to help me in everything. I already knew
And that's how our baby boy made its grand entry into this world. I jolted up from my sleep with the noise of a small cry. Even though my body was feeling weak I tried to sit up. I was still in the hospital and I tried to find the source of the cries I could hear. Hearing those cries my chest heaved with all the disastrous emotions. I found the sound coming from the cradle beside me. When I looked more, that's when I saw a small figure in it crying. My baby was crying and looking at him in discomfort my chest became even heavier. The urge of making him soothe his pain increased in me. I tried to move out of bed even though there was not much strength left in me. I found an IV attached to my wrist. Still, I tried to move to take my crying baby. I was about to step down from my bed when the room door opened, making me l
"Jack my water broke" Those words from her mouth were enough to scare me. The panicked look in her eyes scared me even more. I moved my head down and saw liquid pooling at her feet with a hammering heart. I met her gaze again. I just kept looking at her with a blank look on my face not knowing what to do next. It "My water broke" she repeated her words this time a little loud and with more panic flooding her tone. Listening to her words the chattering on the table stopped making everyone look at us. "We need to hurry fast to the hospital," Jane said in her eager voice, getting my attention. Listening to her I immediately stood up in alert mode while rubbing my face in nervousness. "Jack bri
JACKS POV I buttoned up my tuxedo blazer and hurriedly walked out of the room to go to the adjoining room to help my very pregnant wife. Opening the door I saw she was standing in front of the bed with Amelia standing in front of her dressed in her pink frock. The mother and daughter were speaking to each other and laughing about something. Their laughter was like music to my ears. These two ladies had a special place in my heart. I walked in and my little angel's happy blue eyes fell on me. "Daddy" she squeals in happiness, throwing her hands up for me to take in and I didn't waste time and took her in my arms with a big smile as she stretched on my face. "How do I look? Did you like my frock" she asked in her excited voice. "First let me see
"I hope I'm not disturbing you ladies" He flashed us his pearly white teeth smile and from the corner of my eyes, I looked at Ava who seemed pissed looking at his smiling face. "Long time no see Mrs Miller," he said while looking at me. "I was wondering how you are doing. You look very much pregnant and beautiful as always," he said in his heavy voice which had an accent mixed with his English making me wonder where exactly he was from. I blushed a little at his compliment. He always says all those cheesy words to me, making me think if he likes to flirt with everyone. From the corner of my eyes, I saw Ava sighing in frustration. It was visible on her face that she was not happy to see him there.
"I love you too." The memory of the day makes me smile even in my dreams as from now onwards I have decided only to live with all the happy moments and forget all the bad ones. I have decided to keep moving forward, forgetting all the bitterness of my past but not forgetting the experience I got with it and it is what makes me feel powerful every day. It's what has given me the strength to live my life with all my past good and bad occurrences. These days saying I love you back makes me feel happy. It gives me the power to express my love for him which I have never done before. Those words never stop coming from his mouth and it always warms my heart when he says them to me. It makes me feel like I'm in love with him all over again. The awareness of the person I love loves me back with the same power and thriving in it make
"Yes I would love to" That night we celebrated and Amelia was so happy after listening to my reply. She jumped in happiness from here and there telling everyone that now she had mom and dad. His happy laughter made Jack's and my heart swell up in happiness. I always wanted her to be my daughter and now she was as I had already signed the papers. All the foundation kids were happy for her. She was the favourite of everyone here. They were a little sad knowing she would move with us but they didn't show her and celebrated with her. It has been over a month since that day. Dad, uncle, and aunty come frequently to meet Amelia with gifts for her. They are showering her with lots of love. Why won't they? After all, she is their first grandchild. A smi
