Her interview went great and she was determined that she will get a job soon. Although the competition was tough and many eligible fashion designers were there to make it difficult in choosing. She learned baking skills while working at Aunt Lucy's bakery and now she could make delicious cakes and heavenly cookies. Now Aunt Lucy would often ask her to help her in the kitchen as well and her work increased. She made up her mind that she would tell Aunt Lucy soon that she's going to quit from the bakery as she now would work in a company but she was not ready yet. She even hid her pregnancy from everyone although her little bump was visible. She would often wear lose clothes or would wear a long coat that would hide her tummy. It was the day when Sam visited her and she had the appointment at hospital. She didn't know if Sam would now ask her questions about going to hospital but she wished that he would arrive in evening so she would be already done with the appointment. Her wish d
She couldn't lie so she truthfully told them that she was pregnant before she applied here but she is trying that her health won't get in the way of her work. Although her manager was not lenient in such cases but she believed her because she was such a hardworking woman with brilliant abilities. She promised them that she'll only take one month maternity leave and will join work right after that and even if she had to, she will work from home too. This statement satisfied her manager that at least they'll get what they want. The months were passing quickly as her baby grew inside her fully and every time now she went for ultrasound, she would saw her whole baby on the screen, coiled up. It was the best feeling in the world she felt in that moment. Her body was going through changes which she once used to dislike as maintaining her perfect figure but now that she was building a whole human inside her, it didn't bother her anymore. She realised that it was the best decision to keep
He booked the whole restaurant and got the rooftop decorated. A glass table along with the most comfortable chairs, everything covered in red roses. This was his wild imagination that he wanted to do for Veronica only if she had love him in return. A floral smell swirled in the surrounding, mingling with air which would make anyone feel energised and fresh. He hired a private cook who made such delicious dishes that one could only dream of. According to him everything should be beyond perfection and that's how it turned out to be surprising. He sent a driver over Ashley's apartment to pick her up and bring her here, as he wanted to welcome her himself. Earlier this week, he went to a jeweller who customised his favourite ring design. He didn't know why he was making so much efforts but at the moment he didn't want to think about it. All he wanted was to focus on his temporary happiness so he won't have to worry about future. He was going to propose to Ashley and according to him,
Nine months soon passed away and she didn't even realize it although she counted every day. One can never hold the rope of time as she felt the labour pain while being in her office. She asked her colleague to drop her to hospital while she called Aunt Lucy on the phone, asking her to bring the baby bag as she was already on her way to hospital. She was taken to labour room and all she felt was anxiety creeping inside her veins. She was nervous, she didn't know what was going to happen but the pain was worst. She wanted to get over with it as soon as possible, and luckily her gynaecologist was a really good doctor who took in account of her condition and didn't made her wait much. It took her at least two hours to deliver the baby as it was her first time, it turned out to be the most difficult thing for her. Screams of excruciating pain left her mouth and she had no one by her side on whom she could hold onto. Even the nurses blabbered about her being alone. Every women had their
It was around evening when Sam joined Veronica for tea as she worked day and night on her new project. "Don't you think you come very often at Aunt Lucy's now?" Veronica asked out of the blue while sipping on her chamomile tea which Aunt Lucy especially ordered her to intake every day for her healthy body and baby. "You noticed that?" He asked with a nervous expression. "Of course ""Then what did you conclude? What's the reason of my unusual visits?" He asked her back. "That's what I'm asking you Sam! I hope it's something reasonable because you have a job and I can't see you ruining your career " she replied to him as she took the baby in her hands which started to cry in the baby cot. "I like Suzy! And I want to marry her" he announced in a firm voice.Her expressions didn't change even for a millisecond as if she already hinted it before but just wanted him to confirm himself. "That's great" she commented. "Are you not surprised?" He asked in astonishment because it was cer
"to whom you're talking babe at this hour?" A voice ranged in her back as she clutched the phone tightly but didn't turn. She was crying continuously, so she wiped her tears and then cut the call while Reynold was still waiting for her response on the other side.Then she turned around to look at him, who stood just a foot away from her.She still didn't said a word and choose to walk away past him but he grabbed her hand midway."What's wrong?" He asked again, this time his tone lined with worry."Don't touch me!" She screamed and retreated her hand back harshly as she exited the room to grab her belongings and leave right away. He followed her behind, trying to catch up with her but she was step ahead as she hurriedly started to put on her clothes and then grabbed her purse which was in his room before she undressed and came to his study in nightie."Ashley! Will you listen to me? What's wrong? Why are you acting this way?" He couldn't help but grab her shoulders again and then shoo
It was around evening when but he was still in his office. He called Jason in and told him to schedule his session with a professional therapist. He admitted that he needed one after last night he had to take pills for a good sleep. He had been dealing with insomnia for a very long time but it takes a lot of courage to admit that one has a problem. "Sir I am not sure but I think we have a hint where she could be" Jason stepped in his office suddenly and exclaimed. "What?" He raised his head out shock. "There's a possibility that she could be in England because after a very thorough research we've learned that her brother has been living in Edinburgh for a very long time" He spoke, placing the documents in front of him on his desk. He pointed to the red circle where they located him. "I see" Carter was surprised because it was more than a year after she disappeared and he was very much interested in finding her. But he had this curiosity that how she would be doing all alone and h
It was this time that he asked Jason to bought him tickets to England. But he wanted to land in London first as there was some work which needed to be done first. There was this Spanish mafia who wanted to meet him since a long time but he had no time to spare. Nowadays they were in London so it was better to meet them there. He wasn't sure but he had hope that he would find her soon. Although finding her in England was almost impossible as it was a big country. Ashley came to have lunch with him today after he was done with his session with therapist. His therapist turned out to be very caring and professional and understood his problems really well. He felt relieved after pouring out his emotions in front of her. She was a nice, old woman. "How have you been?" Ashley asked him as they settled down on a table to have their lunch in a nice restaurant. "I'm pretty well" he replied, earnestly. "Any news about Veronica?" She didn't know why she asked him but she was curious where th
Wearing a white dress which was adorned with pearls in it, long enough for the bridesmaids to carry and expensive enough to not touch the ground. Shaping her figure perfectly as its silk hugged all of her curves and kissed every inch of her body like no one could. A net veil hanging above her face as a diamond head piece on her head as if she was a queen walking towards her throne. Her fragile hands had a bouquet of white roses in between them which had also had pearl studded in it as they were held together with a ribbon. Her father on her side while Sam on her other side. Her mother was also beside her as she walked towards the aisle. People gasped watching the new bride coming in, her hair style looked so fine and natural as if made in heaven with perfection. Her face had the most nature makeup on as if angels did it with their own hands. Her Gucci heels made her stand tall and confident. The scent of flowery cologne was so strong that everyone close to her was enchanted with her
Reynold did exactly as he said. He called off the deal and abducted Gerard on his way to his home. Kept him in his warehouse and tortured him for days until he begged for his death. But he didn't allow it yet. He got his employee back and even apologized to her for such a harsh attitude she had to go through. Everyone was surprised but that's how he was. He always kept it equal. Either with his enemies or friends. He never liked anyone having an upper hand on him. He even rewarded his employee with a bonus as a compensation for her emotional loss. The footage also came out as evidence and he didn't need anymore proof to prove he was actually a bastard. The following day, Veronica asked him to join her as they had to get Alex admission in school. He was going to join the play group batch with all the other toddlers. Veronica already confirmed the spot and all the arrangements were done for the admission. They only had to go and get him enrolled. Veronica didn't want to make Alex f
"care to tell me why would you do that miss? Are you aware how much loss our company has to bear just because of your one stupid behaviour!" He shouted in her face as the poor woman trembled with fear. "I'm sorry sir" she apologized meekly, not lifting her gaze from the floor. "I have no space for sorrys! I am going to fire you!" He announced and she looked up at him, immediately. Losing her job meant that she would never get a job in such a prestigious firm. Most of the companies in interviews always question why they got fired from the previous one and then they don't even hire. "Please sir don't do that! I will try my best next time but your client molested me that's why I couldn't contain my anger and slapped him! I'm sorry, I will not treat anyone like that again!" She started crying as she continued to beg him. "What?" He couldn't believe what he just listened to. Did she really mean by word molested?"Gerard molested you? Miss you should watch your tongue before making suc
"I think I don't want to ruin the moment we're in, so let's leave it for tomorrow morning." She enclosed the topic without revealing anything. But that discomfort still laid deep in her heart and she couldn't wait to let it out.."As you say, but I want to hear it out tomorrow. I won't accept excuses then" he stated and she heaved a sigh as she nodded in response. The cake was set aside as he kissed her on lips and she needed that kiss as she indulged in more and let it continue to a full blown kiss as they made out on the table. He gripped her ass and made her sit on the table as he got in between her legs and grinded his groin against her womanhood while she moaned relentlessly on his mouth. "You're so gorgeous! I'll never get enough of you!" He whispered in her ear as she kissed his neck and down to his Adam's apple. She unbuttoned his shirt and raked a hand over his perfectly built chest and chiseled muscles. Feeling his abes beneath her skin made her arouse so much. "You're we
He was done with his lunch after a while as they both chatted along. He was happy that he finally got these moments of bliss to spend with her after such a hectic routine of the past week. After lunch wrapped up, his assistant knocked in and informed him that Mr Gerard was waiting for him. Veronica got up from her place and picked up her bag, ready to leave. "I should send a driver with you! You shouldn't go yourself" he said considerately as he picked up the receiver to make a call. "Uhh no! I came with my own driver. I'd love to see you tonight or the night after, if your work permits you, of course " she teased him as she headed towards the door. "I get what you mean! I'll see you for sure! Wait for me" he winked before he pecked her lips and she opened the door to leaveBut at the same time the door got opened from the other side as well and Gerard appeared. Both of their eyes met and there was some mockery dancing in his eyes as she looked at Veronica and then smiled at Reyn
They spent the remaining trip discovering different cities of Europe and then in the end they visited Istanbul, Maldives and Thailand. Their trip turned out to be amazing except the hustle of carrying Alex everywhere. Most of the time it became so inconvenient for Veronica to look after him that she regretted it but after all he was her son and she didn't give up on him. Their trip before marriage was the most thrilling experience they had in their lives as they did a lot of shopping and tried out many amazing foods from different cultures. As usual Veronica liked Paris very much due to their warm and welcoming weather and on top of that it had a romantic vibe to it. While Reynold liked all the cities and didn't pick out his favourite. On top of that Veronica got her dress made in Istanbul as she really liked their gowns and decided to go up for size measurements. They chose a beautiful elegant dress which looked gorgeous on Veronica's curves. Reynold was very much excited and he b
After she said yes to marriage, he planned a trip for both of them before marriage. He wanted to see the world with her before they could get married and it involved all their destination places they had been planning since their teenage years.They both were aware that it was going to a long trip and they decided that right after they'll come back home, they'll get married with some intimate family members around. Veronica was thrilled with just having to plan such an amazing trip. She lists down all the countries she wanted to ever since she was a child. Although that also included Italy but now that she was practically living in it, she didn't add that. Their first destination was London starting from Europe. They both packed their bags, stuffed in a lot of warm clothes that they were going to need and some shoes comfortable for travelling. As much as the idea of travelling around the world was intriguing, she was worried about leaving Alex alone with his Nanny. She was going to
"hey!" She chimed over the phone after Reynold picked it over the third ring. "Hi! You sound excited" he hinted at the enthusiasm in her voice. "Yeah I am! Let's have dinner together tonight" she proposed while biting her nails as she was nervous if he would accept it or deny her offer. "Uhh sure, I'll text you when I'm free. Pick you up from your place?" He agreed after a thoughtful observation at his schedule. "Yeah sure, but the place will be of my choice" she stated and he agreed. Soon right after they ended the call, she jumped excitedly on the bed. This was going to be an amazing night after she'll tell him about her feelings and will confess how much she loves him. Her decision is only going to enhance their status of relationship and they will get closer than ever. She made a call to Sam who was in his office and running everyday errands for his family. She told him about how she has fallen in love for the second time and she is going to marry him. "Send me his picture!
Chauffeur opened the door for her and her silver Gucci heel stepped down before she appeared in all her glory and praise. Her sparkling dress was going to be the hot gossip among women tonight and burning sensation in men's chest. But she knew who she belongs to as Reynold wrapped a hand around her waist, firmly and protectively. They were welcomed inside the ball and all the gazes slowly shifted towards the new couple. Her breath was erratic and get hands clammy. There was so much audience and cameras clicking everywhere that her eyes started to hurt from the flashes. When she looked down only then she realised that she was walking on the red carpet. "Don't be nervous! Hold your head high and walk like a queen you are" he whispered in her ear making the goosebumps skitter across her bare skin with his warm voice in that chilling cold. She offered him a smile in return but followed his advice. She held his hand tightly for support as they walked through people and everyone greeted
