2024-10-29 19:42:56When Carmen arrived at the Blue lake hotel, she brought her car to a stop, got down, and headed inside.
After she arrived in the lobby, she gazed at the lady behind the desk and asked, “Is Mr. Davis here?”
“Yes,” The lady said with a friendly smile.
“Can you call him and tell him that I'm here."
“Sure, name?”
“Carmen Smith,”
Smiling faintly, the lady picked up the phone. But at that moment, Carmen turned around and saw Liam walking into the lobby with Lorna.
At that moment, Carmen locked eyes with him, and she froze.
“Isn't that your ex-wife?” Lorna asked when she noticed Carmen.
“Yes,” Liam mumbled.
“Ok-ay, I'm gonna leave now.”
“Mmm.”

When Carmen got home, she walked into the living room and saw Dax sitting on the couch."You are back," Dax mumbled when he lifted his head and their eyes met."Yeah," Carmen muttered with her gaze fixed on his.Then she turned to leave, but she stopped and turned back and focused back on him."I went to see Liam," Carmen said, holding in her breath."That's fine," Dax mumbled with a trace of hurt in his eyes."No, it's not because I told him that I love him and I meant it. Five years, five freaking years and he still has my heart!""Carm,""It's not fair to you!"With tears trailing down her face, Catherine sniffed and said, "It's not fair to Ethan or Liam! And it's sure isn't fair to me!"Staring into her watery eyes, Dax ignored the tightness in his chest and asked, "What are you trying to say?""I can't keep doing this. I have tried to please everyone else, but I have forgotten about myself! I don't kno

When the sunlight shone on her, Carmen raised her arm before her face, rolled to her side, and raised her eyelids. Then she blankly stared at the spare pillow, sighed, and mumbled, "There's no way of escaping you, is there?" After taking a moment to fully awake, she sat up, and at that moment, her door opened, and Ethan hurried into the room. Then he jumped on the bed, rushed into her arm, and mumbled, "Morning, Mommy." Smiling softly, she ran her fingers through his hair and gently asked, "You are not mad at mommy anymore?" With a smile on his face, Ethan slightly shook his head and mumbled, "I'm not angry at, mommy, but I am mad at the grey eyes guy." "Ethan," "Grandmother said I should call you for breakfast." Staring at her son, the sound of her ringtone suddenly drew Carmen's attention away from him and toward her phone. Then she picked it up, answered the call, and asked, "Who's this?" With h
He was never mine The troubling news
The atmosphere in the living room became tense the next morning when Carmen walked in and locked eyes with her mother.From the way Mrs. Smith looked at her she knew something was wrong, so she drew a deep breath and asked, "What's going on?"Scowling at her daughter, Mrs. Smith narrowed her eyes. Then she looked at her husband and said, "Give her the paper,"A heavy sigh escaped his lips as Mr. Smith picked up his newspaper from the couch and handed it to Carmen.With a look of hesitation in her eyes, she took the newspaper from her father's hand and opened it."Is the first grandson of the Smith family an Ash or a Davis?" Carmen read out loud the newspaper heading with a hint of fear in her eyes.Then she continued, "The first grandson of the Smith and Ash family looks more like a Davis, then Ash and his eyes look like that of Liam Davis then Dax Ash.""See what I've been warning you about!" Mrs. Smith lashed out.

"Excuse me," Carmen said before walking away from everyone.With Liam's eyes focused solely on Carmen, he watched her for a moment. Then he brushed his palm against Ethan's hair and mumbled, "I will be back, bud."After Liam got a soft smile from Ethan, he walked out of the mansion, stopped on the balcony, and answered the call."Hey, Dax," Carmen mumbled, staring at the living room entrance for a moment."There is a swamp of reporters outside of my house. I believe they think that we are still living together, and are here to ask some questions." Dax said as he stared down from his bedroom window at the crowd outside."Can you get security to remove them?""Well, I could, but I don't want to."For a moment, Carmen kept silent. Then she let out a soft breath and asked, "Why?""I saw the news, Carm. They are going to put this on you and speculate the worst scenario possible, especially since they don't know the
He was never mine Announcement from the author
As a writer, I don't write for myself, but you readers, and I realized that after ending the novel, you guys don't like the way I ended it. So I spoke with my editor, and I decided to go back to my notebook and write a bit longer and a better ending. To be honest, I didn't think that many people were interested in this novel since the reviews are not that many and encouraging to me as a writer, and I don't know how my readers feel about the storyline. As I said, I write for my readers, and if you guys don't leave a review, I don't know what you want or if you guys are actually interested in the novel. That's why I ended it so quickly. But because of you, "Jane." I am willing to go back to my notebook and brainstorm on a few more chapters that will fall in line with the story plot and give it a better ending. But It might take a bit of time though.

Walking into the airport lobby with Ethan in his arm and Carmen by his side, Liam stroked his son's hair as Ethan adjusted his head on his shoulder."He's sound asleep," Carmen whispered, smiling as she gazed at her son."I have already made arrangements for my place. Do you want us to stop there, so he can rest?" Liam said as he looked at her.Knowing that she hadn't settled on a house yet, Carmen slightly nodded and calmly uttered, "Sure."As they approached the door, Ethan suddenly wrapped his hand a bit tighter around Liam's neck, hugging onto him.A feeling of pure love coursed through Liam, and he paused as he reached for the door handle, striving to hold onto that feeling.At last, Carmen was the one who opened the door, and they headed outside.A while after leaving the airport in a black limousine, the driver brought the vehicle to a stop in a fancy yard, and Carmen felt speechless as she stared at the mansion before he

Although Liam thought three weeks was going to be a long time, it didn't feel that long to him, and finally, the day Lina was supposed to visit arrived, and he was not excited about it for one bit.The sound of his doorbell made him take the frying pan of the stove and turn it off before leaving the kitchen."Please let it not be her at such an early morning hour," Liam mumbled beneath his breath as he reached for the doorknob.The moment he opened the door, his lips curved upwards as he stared at Carmen and Ethan gazing back at him."Good morning, bud." Liam excitedly said as Ethan walked past him and entered the house."Morning!" Ethan shouted back without stopping.Chuckling faintly, Liam swayed his gaze off his son, looked at Carmen, and said, "I think he's heading for the kitchen.""I know he's heading for the kitchen because he couldn't shut up on our way here about having breakfast at your place," Carmen said as she walke

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

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.
