Suzy She was smiling at me now, but a little restrained. “I think he and I can reach a consensus that will be a win-win for everyone,” she commented with a nod. “And I wish all the happiness in the world for you two. Besides, Annie deserves to live with her parents nearby,” I added my speech with
Laura “Can you explain to me clearly what’s going on? Stop circling around!” My best friend, Ava, was arguing with me on the other end. “Are you saying you were in a business meeting when you realized your period was late? My God, Laura. How could you have forgotten something so simple?” “For the
Laura It was a friend calling, Albert Williams. I had already worked with him on some projects relating to my company and his, and every time we had worked together, things had gone well. It was almost 7 p.m., so I didn't know why he would be calling me at that time, especially my personal number.
Laura “So you’re telling me to enjoy my new sister, but also at the same time be mindful of her, right?” Albert Williams asked on the other end of the line. I was still in the office of the room there in Jason's mansion, still assimilating what Albert had just told me about Suzy, so she is an heire
Laura “Okay, Suzy. Please remain calm. I don't mean to attack you or judge you or anything like that; I'm just trying to understand mom's side of her getting involved with... your dad," I tried to explain my side in a calmer way because I didn't want to create a strife between us as a thing as unne
Laura The next day, Jason did what he promised the night before, and at lunchtime, he came to my office at Hextec. “As I told you yesterday, I'm here to take you to lunch,” he said after he entered my office room. I giggled at the sight of him standing there in front of me. “So this is what it me
Laura "That's it. You're back to work on time. As promised,” Jason said as he left me in my office room at Hextec. “Thank you for being true to your word, Mr. Enchanting,” I said charmingly as I sat back down in my chair after he pulled out the chair for me, being a gentleman. He gave me a quic
Laura “The pregnancy is still very early, so you won't have to worry about many things. You will be able to continue with your work and commitments without any major disturbances. But of course, always maintain a regular consultation with me,” my gynecologist was saying to me, giving me guidance on
“I really wish I didn't care, just like you don't care,” I said. “Are my grades at school terrible? Fuck them; I don't care. Who cares about social life or social issues? I want everyone to explode. I'm going to continue here in my room playing my shooting and death games until I feel accomplished.
Jake Gardner “Please tell me. Is he really out of danger?” My wife asked on the other end of the line. “Yes, he is,” I replied. “The bullet hit his shoulder. He’s going to be fine.” I heard her sighing on the other end of the line. "Thank God. I'm going to call Amber to let her know; she's so wo
Annie It was my parents there trying to get closer to me. My heart almost came out of my mouth, and I almost melted with relief and also anguish. “Dad… Mom,” I stammered, my eyes filling with tears. But Peter was quick; he put his arm around my shoulder, pulling me to his chest, and placed the bar
Laura Jason was driving the car while talking to me about something random. “Terry is coming home this Christmas,” he was saying. “He has done an incredible job at the Pretoria branch, but he misses his family.” It had been a few months since Terence had moved to South Africa for work; he was one
Warning: sensitive content Annie “Are you ready?” Peter asked me as he and I were about to storm the Mexican diner down the street. He and I had spent hours talking about it, and no matter how much I told him not to do that and go back home, he said he would only come back after I granted him that
Laura I woke up with a start when I woke up, suddenly remembering where I was and what I was doing. “Wake up, Jason…” I called him, while running my hand over my face. He was sleeping next to me and woke up too. “Hmm, what's wrong? Did something happen?” He asked, looking at me with a sleepy fa
Annie “I thought you were the only one who understood me. So now you can’t blame me for being attracted to the monster that I am.” Peter's words weighed on me. When I found out about his secret, it was as if the world around me woke up in its most naked and raw colors; it was as if I now realized
Annie “I can't believe it; it's not true. Peter would tell me something like that if it were true,” I said in denial, my voice breaking. The surrounding town took its course as I stood there at the payphone with the phone to my ear. Peter's psychologist had just told me something that was shaking a
Annie I was staring at the white ceiling of that hotel room as I lay on my back on the bed, the annoying noise of the fan disturbing my thoughts. I was bored. Peter had left a few hours ago, saying he needed to take care of something important, so I was left alone in that hotel room. I had already
