2021-03-13 08:14:11The entire ride was filled with silence since Carmen was too exhausted to chitchat, and Dax couldn't find the right words to say to her.
Once they arrived at the Davis company, both of them felt relieved the moment they were out of the vehicle.
The cold morning breeze gently blew against Dax’s face, causing him to slowly roll his wet tongue against his lips.
He then faintly smiled at Carmen when he caught her staring at him, and in that instant, her sight rested on his moist lips which made her heart miss a beat for a second.
The feeling that moment gave Carmen made her to immediately stared away from Dax as she gently pinched onto her skirt to distract herself from the image that resided in her head.
“Are you ready to head in?” Dax asked.
Upon hearing his voice, Carmen shut her eyes as she took in a deep breath for a second to get herself under control. Then when her eyelids opened, she immediately walked past Dax and headed into the building.

Outside the bar had become dark as the moon hid away leaving the sky empty with darkness.“Sir, the bar is about to close.” The bartender said while he pitifully stared at Dax.“Huh? What's the time?” Dax mumbled.“It's almost midnight.”“What,”Dax passionately gazed at Carmen’s sleeping face before gently tapping her on the back.“Hmmm…” Carmen moaned.“That was some strong stuff your girlfriend consumed. You have to carry her.” The bartender stated.Dax awkwardly smiled at him as he took out his credit card to pay for Carmen's drinks.Afterward, Dax reached for Carmen's phone and purse. He then placed the phone into her bag and held onto it before lifting Carmen off the bar stone.Once he secured her tightly in his grip, Dax carried her out of the pub and into the car. Then he dropped her purse beside her.As he was about to get out, he stopped, then his fingers tenderly pushed Carmen’s hair away from her fac

“Ding-dong!”“Ding-dong!”“Ding-dong! Ding-dong!”Carmen was the first to open her tired eyes as the noise from the doorbell echoed through the house. Then she immediately shut her eyelids as an agonizing pain ripped through her head.After a few seconds went by, it clicked to Carmen’s mind that the lamp she previously saw wasn't an item she had in her room.It didn't help her worry when she felt a manly hand around her waist and his smell on her.‘What did I do last night?’ Carmen cried in her head as she tightly squeezed her lips together to stop herself from screaming out loud.When the doorbell rang for the fifteen times Dax drew in closer to Carmen. Then he hugged her tightly from the back.“One more minute please,” Dax mumbled in his sleep.Carmen swallowed her spit in fear as crazy thoughts ran through her head, and knowing that it was Dax beside her made Carmen more afraid to open her eyes.“Ding-dong!” The doorbell

Carman knew where the conversation was heading, so she grabbed the bottle of pills, took out one, and swallowed it. Then she aggressively drank water before slamming the bottle down on the table.“How about we talk about why you are back? The last time I heard, you weren't returning.” Carmen harshly stated.“Wow, you must really hate me to want me gone this badly!” Liam angrily mumbled.“Maybe I do hate you!”“Great then because I don't deserve your love!”Carmen didn't know what she was expecting to hear, but it wasn't this. Liam's word’s left her speechless for a moment as she stared at him without blinking her eyelashes.“You don't get to do this! You don't get to make me feel terrible about how I feel towards you.” Carmen stated.“Then don't. Do I hate seeing you with Dax? Yes! Will I stop you if he's the one you want to be with? No! Because I had my chance, a

The morning light met Carmen seated in her living room with a mug of coffee before her that had gone cold.She was awake all night, puzzling over her arguments with Liam, and the more she thought about it, the more difficult it got for her to decide on what to do.After hours of thinking and no sleep, she couldn't solve the dilemma her heart and mind was going through, and she hated herself for that.After a few minutes went by, Carmen was pulled out of her thoughts when her phone rang. She picked up the phone and stared at “Grandi” flashing on the screen. Then she aborted the call.It took only two seconds for “Mom” to start blinking on the phone’s screen. But Carmen cared less to pay attention to it.She then let out a deep sigh when the call canceled by itself. However, Carmen’s ears only had two minutes of peace before she gazed at “Dad” writing in bold letters displaying on her screen while

Then he tapped her on the shoulder.“Let's talk.” Roman mumbled before walking past his daughter.Carmen’s eyes bore fear when she gazed behind her father. Then she took a minute to get her trembling body stable and afterward, Carmen elegantly followed him into her office.When she arrived, she met Chester serving tea to her father. He then stiffly smiled at her when their eyes met as she took her seat behind her desk, and within a rush, while avoiding Roman gaze, Chester left the room.“So…” Carmen mumbled.“It's been a year since you divorced Liam. How long do you plan on being a divorced woman?” Roman calmly asked before sipping his tea.Carmen then leaned back in her seat

“Mr. Davis, how does it feel falling from grace to grass, and then climbing back to the top again, all in a year?” A reporter asked.This was the fifth time that she had to repeat her question, and yet Liam couldn't find the right words to answer.For a while, he sat there, looking like a fool. After a second of intense thinking, he then took in a deep breath before forcing a smile on his lips.“Good, I guess.” Liam awkwardly said.“So how did you raised in the business sector this quickly?” Another reporter shouted.Liam took a long stare at the journalist before looking away.Then he entangled his fingers together as he rested them on the desk.“Where

“So…” Dax mumbled with his eyes focused on the road.Since their little conversation at the door, Carmen had not uttered a word to Dax, and the silence was getting a bit too awkward for him to handle.“How have you been?” Carmen absentmindly asked.“Good, good... How about you?” Dax replied while feeling more like a fool.“I have been okay.”“That's amazing.”Carmen turned her focus to the windshield and stared at the dull night sky. She then gently breathed to reduce the tension in her chest.“Yeah, it is,” Carmen mumbled.Dax thought to find his next statement, and yet his mind felt blank, leaving him struggling with his thought.“It's been a long time since we interacted.” Dax abruptly mumbled after a minute when by.“Yeah,” Carmen muttered.There was silence again for about another two minutes.

He was never mine Epilogue
When Freddie brought the car to a stop, he stared back, saw that Liam was sleeping, and faintly smiled as he thought, 'Sir just arrived in the country from a business trip, and yet he didn't hesitate when Miss Smith asked him to pick up Ethan. He really cares about young sir.'Realizing that the car wasn't moving, Liam raised his eyelids and asked, "We are here?""Yes, sir," Freddie said.Without uttering another word, Liam got down from the car and headed into the school building.When he got to Ethan's class and his teacher saw him, she smiled and said, "Ethan, your father is here."Keeping silent, Ethan walked over to Liam and mumbled, "Hello,"With a smile on his face, Liam sighed and thought, 'I have been in your life for one year now, and you won't call me 'father.' How long will it take to make you open up to me and believe that I'm not going to leave you.'Afterward, he extended his hand to Ethan, and not hesitating, he

The sound of her ringtone caused Carmen to set the pancake box on the kitchen counter. Then she picked up the phone, answered the call, and said, "Hey, mom." "Are you okay?" Mrs. Smith worriedly asked from the other end of the line. Confused by her mother's question, Carmen calmly uttered, "Why wouldn't I be?" "Well, Ummm… We were told that Ali was at the company yesterday?" "Seriously, you guys are still keeping tabs on me!" "No! Of course, not… Well, okay, yes we are. But not in the way that you think. Your dad and I were just checking in with Tracy this morning to find out how your first day went." At that moment, Carmen heard Mr. Smith say, "I told her not to call you!" Giggling faintly, the slight anger she felt slowly faded, and she said, "It's fine. We handle the situation pretty well, I think." "We?" Mrs. Smith asked, sounding curious. "Liam and I." "You guys are a

Keeping his eyes fixed on Carmen and Ethan as they stood by the car door, waiting on him, Liam walked over to them.When he was a step away from them, he stopped. Then Carmen met his eyes and said, "Ethan wanted us to wait out here for you.""Thank you, bud," Liam uttered, looking down at his son.Then he focused his gaze back at Carmen, and her face still bore no expression, making it hard for him to guess what she was thinking or how she felt.A few minutes later, as Freddie drove them out of the parking lot, the car was silent and continued to be even after he got on the main road.That bothered Ethan a lot, and he looked up at Liam on his left for a few seconds, and then looked to his right at Carmen before mumbling "I made a friend at school today.""Really! Bud, that's amazing!" Liam said with a look of pride in his eyes."Yeah, baby. What's your friend's name?" Carmen asked, unable to stop smiling.With an excited

The office was silent as Carmen stared coldly at Ali, wondering what she would say to her.At last, she lowered her brows and said, "We are not that close, so let's save the chit chat, and you can excuse yourself and leave.""Oh come on, Carm. Don't tell me you are still holding onto past grudges." Ali cunningly said, sluggishly relaxing back on the seat.Although Carmen didn't know where the conversation was heading, the last thing she wanted was to continue it.So she looked straight into Ali's eyes and said, "We are not doing this.""Doing what?" Ali asked with an innocent expression."I k

"Ding Dong!"Withdrawing his hand from on the doorbell, Liam waited patiently for a couple of seconds.Then he reached for the bell again, but the door suddenly opened, and Carmen stood in the doorway, staring at him."I hope I'm not too early," Liam mumbled, drawing his hand to his side."No. You are on time." Carmen said as she stepped aside for him to enter.After walking into the hallway, Liam gazed back and asked, "Where's Ethan?""He's having his breakfast," Carmen said, shutting the door.Afterward, she and Liam headed into the dining room together.When they arrived, and Liam sight rested on his son, his face lit up, and he excitedly uttered, "Hey bud. Ready for your first day of school?"Pouting, Ethan looked away from his cereal, stared at Carmen, and mumbled, "Mommy, why can't you be the one to take me to school.""We talked about this, honey. Your dad doesn't have much to do today, so he's

"Mommy," Ethan called out, looking at Carmen before staring down at her vibrating phone.Then he gently shook her arm until she finally raised her lashes and stared at him.Still feeling dizzy, a soft smile crept on her lips as she stared at her son's grey eyes and long lashes."What is it, baby?" Carmen whispered."Your phone is ringing," Ethan mumbled, drawing back on the bed as his mother sat up.It took her a second to fully awake. Then she stared down at her phone, picked it up, and answered the call."Good morning, mother," Carmen said, raffling Ethan's hair as he giggled faintly."I know it's early. But I and your father was discussing, and we thought since you have spent four months on that end, you are ready to take over the SM branch there." Mrs. Smith's voice echoed into her ear.Keeping silent, Carmen rested back on the headboard and thought, 'Four months? It's been that long already?'"What did Carm say?" Sh

For a while, Lina stared at her son, wondering if he was serious or not."I ready don't want to repeat what I said," Liam mumbled, gazing away from her. "You need to leave.""I am your mother," Lina whispered, clutching her fist."Remember the days in the darkroom, when I was screaming to be let out, I needed you to be my mother then or when Anthony and Levi left bruises on my skin and made me bleed, I wanted you to be my mother…""Liam…""There were so many instances that are needed you so desperately to realize that I am your son and put me first! But you didn't!""I'm…""I'm not going to be like you, mother. My child comes first even before the woman that brought me into this world, so you need to leave!"Fighting back tears, Carmen clapped her hand over her trembling lips as she stared at Liam with a touch of sadness in her eyes."I know my wrongs." Lina cried, not knowing what else to say.

Staring coldly at his grandfather, Liam scowled before gazing at his mother and saying, "It was supposed to be just you!""Well, when father found out that I was seeing Ethan, he wanted to meet him too, so he flew over to me for us to come together," Lina said, smiling at her son.However, that didn't change Liam's expression, and his eyes got colder the more he stared at his grandfather."Are you going to let us in?" Anthony asked, scowling at his grandson.The atmosphere was intense, and Carmen felt it as she approached Liam at the door."Mr. Davis?" Carmen mumbled, losing control over her expression for a second and frowning.Then she quickly curved her lips into a smile and calmly called out, "Liam, are you not going to step back?"Taking in a deep breath, Liam continued to give his grandfather an icy stare for a few minutes before allowing himself to step away from the door.Everything in him hated to see Anthony and
