Laura “But what if suddenly, now that she has power, she wants to fight with you to take custody of Emmy? Would you hand the child over to her?” I asked the couple, being scared about it. The last time I saw Suzy, she had told me that she was trying to raise some money to be able to take care of E
Laura "What? Are you expecting twins? Ava asked, completely shocked, unable to understand what she was saying, so loudly that everyone within a 10-meter radius heard what she said. “Keep your composure, for God’s sake!” I shouted in whispers with her, looking at the people there in the gallery.
Ava Suzy, that bitch, had only appeared there just to ruin our happiness. Laura and I were having a great girl's day doing our shopping, talking about our kids, and making future plans, but that demon in the form of a person named Suzy had shown up to ruin the moment. “Ava and Laura? No wonder I
Suzy I threw my luxury bag hard in the corner as soon as I entered my house, which was a luxury apartment that I had bought some time ago in one of New York's expensive neighborhoods. Now that my account was fat with so much money after I managed to get the inheritance from the Williams, I could d
Laura I was looking in the mirror, noticing my image and liking what I was seeing. My five-month-old belly was already huge, and I could even feel the twins moving around inside. Being pregnant is a wonderful feeling, and on top of that, knowing that there were twins inside made me happier. I fel
Laura “Dear guests and couple,” Ava was saying as she took the floor in the middle of the reveal party. “Now the time has come when we will all find out the sex of our babies. Are you prepared for this?” She created suspense by making people respond in a chorus of excitement. Jason and I were hol
Laura But Jason couldn't take it; it seemed like he was more prone to crying than me. “Obviously,” he said through laughter. “I’ve never been so sure in my life that I want to spend the rest of my days by your side.” “So let's be crazy together until old age,” I said, slipping the ring on his ring
Laura I had a bitter taste in the roof of my mouth when I realized what the woman was talking about. It was about my mother; that woman had crucial information about my mother… I felt Jason's hand in mine, comforting me. “Who were you for her, if I may ask?” He asked a little suspiciously, trying
“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
