Washington Irving~She is Taylor, his Taylor. He declares as he stares at her.
His eyes cannot be playing tricks on him, can they? He knew he didn't even have much to drink compared to other days, he just had a few bottles, but if he's seeing things, then that means he's doomed, lost without recovery. He prays that it will not be like one of the many dreams of Taylor he's had to wake up from in the past years, how frustrated he had been then.
Longing for her, craving her, but not having her, he'd wake up some night certain what he'd seen was real, but only to be reminded of the reality that it wasn't. Those were his nightmare, his hell and his torture, being genuinely happy only to be thrust ba

"Sometimes you think you've gotten over a person, but when you see him smile you suddenly realize you're just pretending you're over him to ease the pain of knowing that he will never be yours."~UnknownKeenan's POVFour years ago, Four weeks after Reign's birth.Over the weeks that passed by after Reign's birth, I was able to secure admission for Taylor into the University of Rome so she could complete her study and attain a degree in accounting. She was more than happy those times than she'd ever been before, but never in those weeks did she bring up any discussion that Reign was involved in or even talk about her pregnancy or delivery and whenever I had tried bringing her up, she would either change the subject or shut it down completely.

“Love never dies a natural death. It dies because we don't know how to replenish its source. It dies of blindness and errors and betrayals. It dies of illness and wounds; it dies of weariness, of withering, of tarnishing.”Anais Nin~.Keenan's POV“We should go,” Taylor’s voice cuts our discussion short and we both turn to her, but her eyes remains on me, and I can tell she's getting bored out with watching me and Rory exchange greeting, “if we want to have lunch before picking Reign up from school.”Rory brow furrows as he gets a little lost in her words and like always his curiosity gets the best of him and he immediately asks. “Who’s Reign?”Taylor's eyes leave mine and move to him with a neutral expression and she replies. “She’s our daughter.”The blood on Rory's face vanishes and he stares at both of us in utmost surprise and even though my conscience is screaming to not partake in this outrageous act, there is nothing I can do about it now.Taylor is in the right place of telli

“Some of the biggest challenges in relationships come from the fact that most people enter a relationship in order to get something: they're trying to find someone who's going to make them feel good. In reality, the only way a relationship will last is if you see your relationship as a place that you go to give, and not a place that you go to take.”Anthony Robbins ~.We kissed and I can tell that that's the beginning of the better things to come.When we pull away, her eyes flutter open and her mouth twitches interestingly before she licks her lips, “What was that for again?” she asks with a raised brow.I use my thumb to lightly brush off the strand of hair that falls on her face. “You know what,” I reply, a knowing smirk coming onto my face and staying there.She nods and begins to wiggle against my hold m

I haven't felt this much joy in a long time and my whole being jiggle in excitement as she gives me her hand and I slide the ring unto her ring finger before bringing it to my lips and placing a soft and delicate kiss on it.

He had concealed the place we were supposed to have our honeymoon from me and only revealed it on the plane to Scotland a week later.I was surprised, curious and excited about our trip like a little girl because I had only been able to travel to a few places I wanted to. Places like China, France, Nigeria, and Australia and all those trip were on official bases with Keenan. I had never been able to come to Scotland since. Those feelings however were nothing compared to the ones I developed when I saw our cottage on arrival at our destination.The old mansion was magnificent and I couldn't help feeling giddy as we got down from the car. It felt like a fairy tale came alive."Mrs Gate, we've reached our destination," Rory announces in a Scottish accent as if he were my guard and he gives me his hand.I decided to play along, "Oh, thank you," I blush and accept his hand and he t
