"And where do you think you are going too?" asked Keane in an unpleasant tone.Smiles didn't bother answering as she pulled her luggage and only stopped a fit away from him. She didn't bother answering his questions as she spoke out boldly to him "I wish to terminate the contract" her tiny voice rings. She stood there, staring at the man before her, sitting ever so elegantly on the royal blue sofa."I make the decision not you…" his voice was firm and warning. She was daring enough to bring up such a topic."I do have a say" She interjected. It was the first time she boldly spoke to him, not caring the fact that he was her master and she, the slave. Keane's head snapped to the side, with a raised brow. Amused at her sudden baldness."We had a contract signed that said it will only get terminated by you or by me asking your love" she explains."I don't need this anymore, I want to be free Keane, free from you" She calls him by his name for the first time. "I can't get stuck in this,
"You're alright?" Asked Lisa concern as she stares at the confused figure before her " you can talk to me" she urges.Keane couldn't describe how he was feeling. Nothing was right. Lisa cops on his face, hoping to get his attention.."I am here… talk to me" she begs pulling him even closer. Her scent only irritated him the more. So much as he wanted to let her comfort him, he just couldn't bring himself to. He grinds on his teeth " I am fine" he tells her sternly, stunning Lisa.She couldn't believe Keane, could talk to her in such a cold and bland tone, void of any emotion.Pushing her thoughts away, she tries to comfort him again but he pushes her away.She could hardly believe what's going on with him to the point he was shoving her away.In all the years she's known him, he has never pushed her away… it's always the other way round but today… It was something she never expected.Staring at the man before her, she couldn't help but wonder if she's done something wrong, " Did I d
He thought Lisa was gone not until she popped into the mansion again."I came to return this" she placed the ring on the sofa, and left.Nothing matters to him now than to find Smiles, there was nothing he could think of.It was almost midnight, he still couldn't get himself stable.Leaning back on the sofa, he closes his eyes, trying to get himself to think about the places she might have gone to.He's assigned his men to find her and it's been hours now, he has basically no clue on where she was.Did she intentionally mean to hide herself from him? 'cause if she did, then she's succeeding. But that didn't stop him from wanting to find her, he just can't hold on anymore longer than he already has… he's a complete mess without her. His silence was disrupted by an angry Derrick who pushed through the big door, " how dare you?" He questions angrily.Derrick was more than angry, the veins popping out on his face was evident.Firstly, he hurts his sister then Lisa… what worse of a perso
It took him more than just confessing his feelings for Smiles to get Derrick to give her location to him.Derrick is indeed a pest but that wasn't his concern. Right now, there is nothing more he needs than to see Smiles, to feel her soft lips in his mouth tasting her sweetness.To inhale her soft sweet scent of rose and vanilla mix. The scent that always sends chills down his spine.He drove his car at a very high speed like a mad dog chasing its prey with no intentions of giving up.Smiles on the other hand sit on the sandy shore staring at nothing in particular.Her heart and mind is a mess, she can't sleep.Her life right now is the direct opposite of what she's thought it would be like.But nothing hurts more than the fact she will never have him.Staring at the gloomy night sky brought nothing but pain, and sadness."I wish it was different… I wish it had a better ending" She cries. For the fourth time in her entire life, she wished there was a fairy godmother to grant her wish
Lisa sits in a bar wasting herself with piles of empty bottles before her. Tears roll down her cheeks as she stares at the fourth bottle in her hands."He doesn't love me… he loves another" she murmurs, wiping away her tears.There was absolutely nothing she could do better than drink herself to her death.Upon placing her drink on her lips, her eyes caught sight of a man, he was gorgeous as hell, staring back at her without blinking."Is he staring at me?" She wonders with a frown. Looking at the guy, her lips widen into a smile, making her look even sexier than ever."Hey, handsome!" She calls out, waving her hands.Confused as to who she was calling out to, Derrick turns behind only to see an empty corner. It can only be that she is calling out to him.He's been monitoring her ever since she left Keane's mansion, not wanting to leave her all by herself knowing she will waste herself to death."Don't look behind, I am talking to you… come over" She said, reaching out to him. Her
Smiles stares at Keane, speechless.What else does she want?She wanted him, she asked him to love her… she wanted him to choose her and he did. What else does she want but to be with him… "I… I just don't know what I want anymore" she tells him, confused and unsure of what she wants. Her feelings for him is a sure thing, but something wasn't right."Can't you see how much I love you? I can barely stand knowing you ain't here to help me up… can't you see how lifeless I am without you, can't you see how much I want you? " His voice was soft and pleading, giving her soul a wake-up message."I've never been more sure of anything…but my feelings for you, I can swear to it because I feel it here, in here, every single night of loneliness without you" He points to his chest, moving closer to Smiles."Nothing hurt more than love…it tortures me in the nights I'm hollow, but it makes me more sure of what I feel…" It was the longest word he's said to her so far. Strange yet the most beautiful
*On the other side*Derrick was quick to grab her before she could reach the floor. She is indeed in a complete mess and he's never known her for such."You can barely stand on your own!" He snorts. There's nothing he wants right now than to sway her naughty thoughts."Don't worry about me being handsome, I will be just fine" she waves dismissing the topic."Common now, say yes… You can't possibly deny a beauty like me right?" She blinks cutely at him.His head tilted to the side, amused at her confidence " And if I do? " He raises a brow.She puts on a thoughtful face, trying to think of what she will say next but there was nothing she could think of."Please! Grant me this wish and I promise not to disturb you" she begs desperately. She doesn't care if she's the needy one here, all that matters is she gets to distract herself.The pleading and desperate look on her face shatters the last of his sanity, leaving him helpless under her soft sweet lips as he sucks and bites on them, te
Smiles and Keane lay down by the shore as the waves hit gently on their body.Keane laid with his back on the ground with Smiles on top, resting her head on his broad firm and hairy chest."Can I ask you something?" Keane asked and Smiles hummed dreamingly, feeling the comfort he was giving her."When did you fall for me?" he asked. Smiles seem to think for a while before answering honestly."The day you first kissed me" a smile spread on her lips at how funny she was, trying to stop herself from loving him when she's fallen for him even before she could think."Quite fast… thought you would have hated me back then" he stretched his neck to see her face. She was content listening to his heartbeat." Honestly… " she breathed out, a Bit embarrassed " I never planned on falling for you… But you made me fall deeper into your hell before I could blink out my thoughts for a second… that kiss left me shivering, my body begs and screams for more" She explains honestly.His lips widen into a
Smiles and Lisa arrived at the church alongside grandma Shiley, they looked so beautiful in the all-white dress.Both girls were super happy, but Smiles was on the edge.Even though she knows things will turn out fine, she couldn't help but sweat remembering the last time her long dream wedding was ruined.As soon as their car stops, she helps herself out not minding how heavy her dress is. She rushed out and was met by Her dad and Mr Austin.Since she came back, she hasn't got the time to visit them. She was happy to see them but she didn't have the time to spend with them as her eyes darted around, looking for a certain someone.Her heart calls out to Keane, she pushes herself through climbing up the stairs."Heading somewhere dear wife?" Keane sounded from behind.Smiles could feel her heart flutter in excitement as she turns to him, without a word, she throws herself into his arms."You are here, thank God" she breathes out, tears rolling down her cheeks.She can't tell how scared
In a room with little or no light was a lady tight to a chair, as she struggled to set herself free.She didn't know how she found herself locked up, the last thing she remembered was getting into a taxi after her car broke down."Is anyone there, please help!" She cries, face twisting in pain because of the rope tied around her wrist"I need to get out of here," she murmurs to herself.As if being heard, the door flew open as a man in black walked in black followed by a lady."Who are you? And what do you want from me?" She asked in a trembling voice. She doesn't understand why they are keeping her hostage.It was dark, and the light coming from outside made it hard for her to see their faces."Please let me go!" Her cries came."Let you go? Are you serious right now?" Fiona's voice sounds as she makes her way to where she is tied up."Do I know you? Who are you?" She stutters, unable to figure out the owner of the voice.Fiona let out a sad laugh, "who am I?" She tilts her head to t
It was late in the night when Smiles and Keane put their babies to sleep."Finally!" Smiles exclaim, taking in a deep sigh of relief. It wasn't an easy tax to make Nate sleep but she did it at last."He seems to be a naughty one" Keane pulls her into his arms, circling her in his large broad chest."The apple doesn't fall far away from the tree!" Smiles said, chuckling."I know right? Only now I see how naughty and clingy I was and still am, but I love it" He caresses her earlobe. "I don't mind being naughty, so long as it's you…I will love to be a thousand more. "Smiles giggles, place her slender hands on his chest as she struggles to push him away."I've got to rest, you better be a good boy" She walks out of the room, and Keane follows her behind."I'm always a good boy," He said, Smiles couldn't help but laugh."Well, too bad…I don't see that. You always look like a devourer to me" She pushes open their bedroom door and walks in."That's harsh, but coming from you… it sounds sex
It's been a week since Smiles left LA back home, she's getting over her pain with the help of Keane and her babies.She felt, even better after having to talk with Derrick about their mom, both siblings had themselves and families to love.Smiles walk out with a tray of pastries… "Here everyone, we've got some delicious pastries made by your chef cook, Keane Austin!" She said the smile in her voice couldn't be ignored.Keane stands by the side, hands on the waist like a superhero. Well, he isn't a superhero but he is a super dad and husband to his kids and wife."Oh common now, we all know this will be a complete disaster!" Derrick jokes, knowing Keane can never cook.Smiles and Lisa laugh heartily, Derrick's face was one to die for.Before Keane could open his mouth to defend himself, Smiles beat him to it."I bet you will regret your words after tasting this delicious piece of work made by my sweetheart" Smiles brush on Keane's chin, tiptoe and kiss his lips."Don't think I will ge
Derrick stares at Fiona in disbelief. He wasn't expecting her to show up all of a sudden but most of all, he was surprised seeing her all teary with swollen eyes."Mom?" He calls out, standing up from the sofa. Lisa was long-standing, staring at the lady with a frown.She can swear she thought it was Smiles, even though it's been a long time since she last saw her, the look was the same until Derrick called her mom, then, she understands that it wasn't Smiles but rather it was Fiona, his mother. The woman he's been talking about."What's wrong? Is everything ok?" Derrick asked as he reached out to her."Derrick, my son… I'm so sorry" Fiona apologizes as he reaches out to him, and folds his face in her hands."I was so lost with my taste of revenge, I didn't know" She cries.Derrick frowns, not understanding what she's saying."What are you saying mom, what's wrong?" Derrick was worried and concerned, it hurt him to see her cry this pitifully."I did it and I'm sorry, I… I am so bad an
Smiles arrived in New York all tired and weak, luckily, Nate and Kate were not at home. They had insisted on staying behind with grandma Shiley and grandpa Jimmy, that alone was a big relief.Smiles cries herself to her room and slumps on the bed as soon as she sees it. Her silent sob intensifies, and she grabs the pillowcase and pulls it to her chest.This is the time she needs Keane the most, she can't handle everything by herself. It's like holding on to the world's load, unable to keep your balance.As if God answered her prayers, the door pushed open and Keane emerge from behind. He was dressed in his usual navy blue suit, hair combed to the back.As soon as Smiles saw him, She rushed and threw herself into his arms. She couldn't hold on to her cry as it increased.Keane was taken aback by her sudden hug but he didn't push her away, he let her hug him as much as she wanted while he stroked her hair lightly before carrying her to bed."I love you so much, I'm sorry for hurting you
Smiles walk into the mansion, all tired. It's been a week now and she hasn't heard from her mom.Taking the advantage of being in LA, she decided to visit. At least, a simple "hi" and a hug will do.Her eyes darted around the living room, there was no one present. She frowns, even though the house sometimes is all quiet, not to this extent."Mom!" Smiles calls, making her way upstairs. The only place Fiona can be if not in the living room is her room or her studies.She knocked on her bedroom door countless times but there was no response. She pushed open the door but was greeted by an empty room.With no choice, she heads for the studies knowing it's the only place Fiona will be in.She reached out for the doorknob and was about to push it open when she heard someone's voice, it wasn't Fiona's but that of a male.She leans closer, making sure she doesn't make any noise."They are completely bankrupt, but I'm foreseeing them coming back to life, Derrick and Keane have become so close
"Grandma!" Smiles calls, excitedly as she walks to Grandma Shiley who relaxingly sat back on the chair in the garden.She seems busy, staring at something she's holding. Hearing the voice of a familiar someone, grandma Shiley turns behind. Her eyes grew wide in disbelief, yet the excitement was seen."S-smiles?" Grandma Shiley calls out, voice stuttering. She couldn't believe her eyes, it's been a long since she felt this happy and here she is, experiencing it."Oh lord, I've seen it all, take me now" Grandma Shiley cries. Arms spread wide inviting Smiles for a hug, Smiles happily throws herself into her arms."I've missed you so much grandma" Smiles cries, "I'm sorry I left, I was so stupid to have done that" she continues."Let it go now child, let bygones be bygones" Grandma Shiley stroked gently on her hair, calming the crying girl.She doesn't blame her at all, if she as the grandma was hurt, then it's ok for her to feel more."All that matters is you are home with us. I thought
"They are so adorable!" Keane comments staring at the sleeping face of Kate and Nate."What happened?" Smiles asked, she's been thinking about the last scene that happened between him and Lisa.Keane raises a brow questioningly at her, demanding more elaboration.Smiles closed the door behind, "the day of our wedding, what happened?" She faces him, hoping to get him to say something.Keane breathes out, and in a swift movement he carries her up heading to their room." You need rest, I will help wash you off" he said, and kissed her forehead.He doesn't want to talk about it 'cause he knows the mastermind behind their unsuccessful wedding and he doesn't want to tell her knowing how badly she will react.Like his favourite poem that he knows every word and meaning, so is Smiles to him. He knows she thinks with her heart, not with her head, and when she is hurt, she jumps to a conclusion without a second thought.Smiles at the face of the one person she loves the most, without measure.
