[ Tristan ]I still can’t believe what I just heard from the doctor, it was unexpected but the most pleasant news I received in a very long time. I can feel jitters in my stomach whenever those words said by the doctor ran into my ears.Claire is pregnant.I am going to be a father for the second time.“Dad, you’re here. I was looking for you everywhere. I am calling you for two minutes but you seemed to be sleeping with open eyes.” Travis’ voice pulled me out of my thoughts and I was forced to look down at my source of happiness.His big eyes were blinking at me with confusion. He was holding his favourite scrap book.“I am sorry, buddy. I am very happy, in my happiness, I didn’t hear you. I have a good news for you too which I and your Mom will share with you.“A good news for me?” His frown deepened.“Yes, my boy but you have to wait. We’re taking you out for dinner at your favourite restaurant and you can eat whatever you want only for tonight.” I said taking him in my arms.His f

[ Claire ]I was listening to Travis’ continuous talks about his friends and his teachers, how he animated the little details and then laughed, I couldn’t take my eyes off from my little version. Tristan surprised me when I woke up in the evening that he wanted to take me and Travis for dinner so we could break the news to our son.Honestly, I was nervous, not having any idea how our son is going to react on this news. It happened all of a sudden and I also need time to adapt myself to this new change.“Mom, where are you lost?” Travis snapped his fingers in front of me.Tristan was giving me an amused look.“It’s nothing. I am only listening to you, son like an attentive audience.” I said.“Lier.” He narrowed his eyes and then shrugged his shoulders.“Hey, I am not lying. Eat your food now.” I eyed him.“Claire, your face tells it all. So, before you lie to us, first learn how to pretend and tell a lie smoothly.” My husband joined the conversation and sided with our son.“Like father

[ Claire ]A month has passed, I didn’t hear anything from grandpa, he mostly minds his own business and whenever we meet, it’s during meetings at office and we exchange minimal conversation. It pains me how my grandfather despised me for falling in love because he considers it a taboo for his reputation. I hadn’t revealed my pregnancy to anyone except for Miss Kim. I couldn’t afford to jeopardize my unborn baby’s life.My phone rang and I looked at the caller’s id. It was my grandfather’s assistant. It made me frown why he was calling me.“Hello?” I answered the call.“Miss Jones, can you come to Mr. Jones’ office? He has fainted and I thought you should know this first.” His assistant sounded panicked.“I am coming, stay there with him.” I said and rushed out of my cabin. My heartbeats paced up. My mind went to all negative thoughts.“Ma’am, where are you going like this?” Miss Kim shouted behind me when she saw me running.“Come with me. I think my grandfather isn’t well.” I said t

[ Claire ]I lifted the flute of my drink to my lips again and downed the bitter liquid which I think tastes sweeter than my life. I watched my father’s elite guests having a great time at the party. After all, they were exclusive guests of Harris Jones, the business mogul who was ready to step down from his position tonight and give the inheritance to his son, my brother for namesake, Caleb Jones. Another reason of their celebration was my sister’s twenty-first birthday, the favourite daughter of Jones family.And I am the black sheep of the family whom everyone despises, reasons unknown to me and honestly, I don’t care anymore. They hate me since I was born. I am only allowed to be a part of such extravagant parties when they have to portray a happy family picture. So, I am enjoying this party as much as I can, ignoring the constant ache in my heart when I watch my parents introducing my siblings with pride to their friends and potential business partners.Deciding, I’d need anothe

[ Claire ] “What are you saying, Mr. Ryan? She isn’t good enough to be your wife. Please, marry my younger daughter Mia. She is good in everything.” Dad tried to plaster a smile on his while I prayed for the same.I had been planning to leave this house as soon as I save enough money to settle down far from my family.Mia’s eyes welled up with tears, “Ryan, don’t do this to me. You don’t know anything about my sister. She’s a bitch of low character, she always snatches my happiness. Five years ago, she did the same and God punished her. She hasn’t good grades as well and look at her fashion sense.” Mia blabbered to Ryan but I had to wince when she lied about my grades.It was all a lie. I never had a love affair.“I don’t need to hear about my future wife from you, Mia. She is beautiful and not to mention intelligent who doesn’t spend money on buying unnecessary things. I like her.” Ryan said but I wasn’t driven by his praises. His intentions were hideous.“Mr. Ryan, please try to un

[ Claire ]Walking in the middle of nowhere, my body drenched in the rainfall and shivering with cold, I had no place to go. My tears also dried up after crying for hours. What sin have I committed to bear such harsh punishment? I sat down under a shed, wrapping my arms around my torso. I bit my lips to supress the teeth clattering. It was freezing cold. My family didn’t have the decency to let me collect my belongings.I was tired of living this life for last twenty-foursix years but I couldn’t gather my courage to end my life.I thought about calling my grandparents but dropped the idea since they live in countryside, enjoying their last days. They’d be hurt if they learn about what my family did to me. I couldn’t be a burden for them. Besides, I didn’t have any money or my phone.Suddenly, I heard roaring of a car in a deserted lane and it stopped here not even a creature could be seen. My heartbeats accelerated in fear since I was all alone. The flash of the headlight blinded my e

[ Claire ]The warm temperature in the luxurious living room of Tristan Pierce comforted my body. I could feel my pulse. The awkward silence between us could be sensed in the thick air.I had a homely feeling wrapping me in its warmth in a complete stranger's house whom I trusted and accompanied him here.“Here, have this, it’ll help to normal your body temperature, Miss Jones.” He offered me some brandy which I took and gulped with an incoherent ‘thanks’.He sat across me with crossed legs and his hands rested on arms of his single sofa. I tried my best to avoid looking at him.“Are you feeling better now?” He asked after a few moments of excruciating silence.“Yes. We can talk now.” I said gaining some confidence.“Great, I can tell that you’re a smart woman, Claire.” He said addressing me by my first name for the very first time and I hate to admit that it sounded so good, strange.“What is the use of this smartness when I can’t fight for my rights, Mr. Pierce. I allowed them to ri

One day or another you’ll need a life partner, a companion. She isn coming back. She must be happy with a family of hers.” My ailing father gave me the same advice I have been hearing from last five years.I was facing the window, the grey sky, rainfall drizzling in silver chains with thunderbolts, it was similar to my inner soul. It’s been years since the woman I loved passionately, like a crazy lover, broke my heart into million pieces and mocked me by sleepingby disappearing after giving birth to my son. I searched her everywhere but a year later I found out that she met with Ryan fucking Balean accident and lost her memories. Her parents told me that she married another man and settled in London. i couldn’t bring myself to love someone again because I am still not over her.“Dad, I have to tell you something. I thought I’d tell you

[ Claire ]“Your reports look perfect, Claire but we have found something unusual with your blood reports so we sent it to another doctor and you can’t believe what is in your blood reports.” My doctor said.I blinked my eyes in confusion and looked at Tristan who had same expression as mine.“Doctor, you’re saying that something is wrong with my reports and you are smiling. I don’t get it.” I said out loudly and he shook his head.“I requested doctor Sharen to run some tests on you so our doubts will be cleared though I am sure what we have found.” The doctor said.“Doctor, please tell us if she’s okay. She isn’t feeling good since yesterday.” Tristan said to him in a worried tone.“Doctor Sharen will guide you better. She’s waiting for you in her cabin. Your brain is healthy, still I advise you to avoid stress.” He said and we were left more confused.“Thank you, doctor.” Tristan said and with nervousness, we made our way to doctor Sharen’s cabin.“Gynaecologist?” Tristan read out d

[ Claire ]I opened my eyes, my head was pounding and my body ached when I tried to sit. I was feeling weak and also dizzy. I found myself in my room, the curtains were closed but I could guess it was already morning.“Good morning, my love. I hope you’re feeling better now.” Tristan’s voice forced me to turn at the door, he was leaning on the doorframe, he was still in his track pants and woollen sweater.“Good morning. I don’t feel very good but I can manage if a cup of strong coffee hits my system.” I said with a weak smile and plopped back on the pillow. I clutched my head and remembered how I fainted after hearing the earth-shattering secret.The mattress beside me deepened and I felt his hand caressing my forehead followed by a gentle peck, “I have told Rina to prepare your coffee. Should I call the doctor?” He asked me in a concern laced voice and my eyes opened again.I grabbed his hand and dropped a feathery kiss on his palm.“I am fine, Tristan. Please, trust me. I just need

[ Tristan ]“Mr. Jones, I was quiet all this time because I was afraid that Claire would be broken because she respects you the most and I didn’t want her to suffer another stroke but my wife surprised me. We know why Grandma had a heart attack, she knows how low you can fall to satiate your greed.” I said bitterly.I came to pay him a visit during his Sunday church prayer which he doesn’t miss at the church. After the prayer, I confronted him and now, we’re sitting on a bench in the cemetery.“Our loved ones are resting here. It’s an irony, isn’t it? Your father and my son, both are buried in this place and we are sitting together despite knowing the fact that we don’t like each other very much.” He spoke, I could see strange calmness on his face.“Yes, my father was a man who used to forgive people, no matter how bad their sins were but I am not like him. I believe in punishing them who hurts me or my loved ones. Mr. Jones, you broke my wife’s trust. I don’t think she’d ever be able

[ Claire ]“It’s time for celebration, guys. Ryan fucking Bale is behind the bars forever.” Caleb said as we all gathered around Grandma. I brought her to our old mansion. We decided to shift here after I and Tristan discussed that our penthouse was small for six people to live under same roof.“Caleb, watch your tongue. There are kids in the house.” Grandma scolded him and he grinned sheepishly.“I am sorry, Grandma, I couldn’t hold my happiness. He almost married Mia. She is immature but he did it intentionally.” Caleb’s face turned serious.The air became tensed. We never discussed Mia in front of grandma.“Caleb, he is serving his punishment now, that’s matter to us. He will be a closed chapter for us forever.” I said.“Claire, what is going on between you and your grandfather?” Grandma asked me out of the blue and silence dawned in the air. I looked at Tristan. She was not in a condition to hear the bitter reality of my strained bond with grandpa.“Grandma, I think you should be

[ Claire ]My heart was beating fast as we all waited for the judge to serve the judgement after a long and heated trial of hours. Our lawyer had done a great job by finding evidence against Ryan. I was surprised when she managed to bring the director and nurses of the mental asylum where Ryan put Alicia so she could lose her mental abilities.She was sitting there, her dull eyes staring at her ex-husband with so much pain and anguish. I rubbed her hands softly.“I heard both the defendant and the prosecutor. Both parties showed evidence and proved their innocence but the defendant proved that Mr. Ryan Bale was very cruel to the victims. The court approves the divorce and also sentence Mr. Ryan Bale twenty-five years of imprisonment. He will pay a sum of five million dollars to Miss Alicia as an alimony and also bear the monthly allowance to her and his son. The court is adjourned.” The judge declared her judgement and we all sighed in relief.Alicia broke down. I pulled her into a hu

[ Tristan ]I slammed my fists on my car. Seeing Claire in such terrified condition, shivering with fear and telling me that she doesn’t trust her grandfather anymore, it fuelled me. The old man has hit the last nail on my patience and sanity with him.“Tristan, don’t hurt yourself. I saw you, you couldn’t sleep at night but it won’t help us to fight our problems.” Claire’s gentle voice pushed me more into guilt.“No, I can’t sit quietly, Claire. His threat has many hidden meaning, I can’t be at ease until I understand the original intention behind his words. I can’t take more risks with you, Claire.” I said.She hugged me and caressed my nape, “Nothing can happen to me as long as you are with me. Tristan, you’re my safe heaven and I trust you. So, stop doubting yourself.” She said breaking the hug. She looked confident.“Now, I am not afraid anymore, Claire. You are a brave woman. Let’s go and defeat first devil of our lives. Where is Alicia?” I said kissing her lightly on the lips.
