Valerie "I don't know her," he sighed. "I have no idea who she is and I swear on my daughter that I had never seen her." The tension in the room dissipated like a storm passing, leaving behind a sense of eerie calmness. Mr. Johnson's words echoed in my mind, his declaration of innocence a small ray of hope in the midst of chaos. I turned to look at my father, whose expression mirrored my own sense of relief, his shoulders slumping in defeat as he acknowledged the truth. "However," he paused as he took a good look at me. "I think I now understand why your father thinks that I'm the man your mother cheated with," Mr. Johnson continued, his voice tinged with resignation. I felt a surge of anger rise within me at his audacity, at the way he seemed to revel in the chaos he had caused. But I held my tongue, knowing that lashing out would only escalate the situation further. He pulled out his phone, his fingers moving with practiced ease as he searched for something. I watched him with

Valerie The weight of the truth settled over me like a suffocating blanket, pressing down on my chest and stealing the air from my lungs. As Mr. Johnson revealed the identity of my potential biological father, I felt a surge of conflicting emotions wash over me. Relief mingled with uncertainty, gratitude mixed with resentment, leaving me reeling in a whirlwind of confusion. "Please don't tell him about me," I pleaded, my voice trembling with emotion as tears glistened in my eyes. The thought of confronting my potential twin brother, of shattering the illusion of the family I had known for so long, filled me with a sense of dread I couldn't shake. I couldn't replace my father, not with a man who seemed to come with such a colorful and tumultuous history. The idea of losing the father-daughter bond we had fought so hard to revive filled me with a sense of despair I couldn't bear. My dad's and Mr. Johnson's eyes softened as they took in my tear-stained face, their expressions reflecti

Aiden The room was cast in shadows, the dim light filtering through the curtains giving the space an ethereal quality. I lay there, tangled in the sheets, still lost in the remnants of a dream that felt too real. Her words echoed in my mind, haunting me with their sweetness. "I love you," she had said. Her hazel eyes bore into mine, a depth of emotion that left me breathless. Her light brown hair spilled over the pillow, framing her delicate features. Her lips, red and puffy, begged for a connection, a taste of something more profound. I was buried deep inside her, our bodies entwined in a dance of passion. In that moment, it felt like the universe had conspired to bring us together. But then, the dream took a cruel turn. The hazel eyes that had held so much love transformed into cold, indifferent blue. The lips I had longed to kiss turned thin and unfamiliar. The woman beneath me was no longer the one who made my heart race, the one I craved with a desperate longing. Guilt and

Aiden I felt an instant relief when I saw Drew's name flashed on the screen, and I groaned inwardly. I had no desire to speak to that bastard. Ignoring the call, I let it ring until it finally stopped. But it wasn't long before it rang again, persistent and annoying. With a resigned sigh, I reluctantly answered. "Just hear me out before you turn me down," Drew's voice came through the line, urgent and rushed. I remained silent, not willing to give him any indication that I was willing to listen. "It's about Laura, her health," he continued, his words catching my attention despite my reluctance. I felt a knot form in my stomach. Laura's health had always been fragile, her heart condition a constant source of worry for those who cared about her, myself included. If anything were to upset her, it could have dire consequences. "The doctor has warned us countless times that any news that upsets her could land her back in the hospital," Drew explained, his tone heavy with concern. "But

Aiden I had reluctantly promised Drew that I would talk to Val, but deep down, I knew it was a promise I might not be able to keep. I had made the call but my call had gone straight to decline and I knew she had my number on the block. I did try for other phones and landlines but none of my calls were picked. Val was a force to be reckoned with, the polar opposite of Laura in so many ways. She didn't take nonsense from anyone and had a tendency to shoot straight, right between the eyes. That fierce independence was what made her special, and it was also what made confronting her such a daunting task. Despite the challenges, the thought of Laura's fragile health deteriorating due to the revelation of the truth scared me enough to muster the courage to face Val. I loved them both, and the internal conflict tore me apart every time Val crossed my mind. I had inflicted more pain upon her than Drew ever did. Those words I uttered in the club, dismissing her feelings and revealing the cru

Valerie As I stood there in the reception area, the weight of guilt pressed upon my heart like a relentless force. I was doing this for Laura and Val both. It wasn't just because of Laura that I was seeing her. "Do you have an appointment?" the receptionist asked, her voice snapping me back to the present moment. "No, I am her... boyfriend," I replied, the words feeling heavy and awkward as they left my lips. I could sense the smile on the receptionist's face falter slightly at my response. She didn't look much pleased at all. "Give me a second," she said, her tone shifting slightly as she reached for the phone and dialed a number. While she engaged in hushed conversation, I stood there awkwardly, my gaze drifting toward the entrance to the inner offices where Val's workspace resided. "Sir, why don't you sit down? Someone will be with you shortly. Ms. Caulfield is currently with a client," the receptionist informed me, her tone now tinged with a hint of reservation. Oblivious t

Valerie As I sat there in the upscale cafe, occupying a window seat with a view of the bustling street outside, I couldn't shake off the heavy weight of regret that hung over me like a dark cloud. This wasn't just any cafe; it was the kind where reservations were made months in advance, where the ambiance was refined, and where money spoke volumes. But none of that mattered to me in that moment. All I wanted was a chance to speak to Val, to make things right between us, or at least to let her know about Laura's condition. I glanced around the cafe, taking in the elegant decor and the laughter of diners enjoying their meals. A young couple passed by the window, their laughter and easy camaraderie reminding me of happier times with Val. For a brief moment, I allowed myself to indulge in memories of our short-lived happiness, of the moments when we were truly content in each other's company. But those moments were fleeting, replaced once again by the heavy burden of guilt that weighed

Valerie As I sat at my desk, trying to focus on my work, my mind was buzzing with a chaotic mix of emotions and thoughts. The conversation with Shay still echoed in my ears, her voice filled with excitement and determination. She seemed convinced that she had a solution to my problems, a way to finally bring the truth to light and find some semblance of satisfaction in the mess that my life had become. "I'm so fucking glad you did that, Val," Shay's voice rang through the phone, filled with an energy that was both infectious and intimidating. "Me too, I couldn't fucking go through it anymore. It was becoming fucking torturous," I replied, feeling a weight lift off my shoulders just by acknowledging the decision I had made. "I declare this as one of the best decisions of your life, Val," Shay exclaimed, her excitement palpable even through the phone line. "Thank you, but it still doesn't satisfy me. I think satisfaction can't come to me until the truth is out," I confessed, the wo

Valerie Aiden never backed down from his promise. Every day he proposed to me even if he remembered it at an ungodly hour. There wasn't a day skipped. He pampered me, put me first and I kind of expected for it to go for six months and then come to an end but it never did. He never stopped loving me and spoiling me and our kid. Six months passed and they did very fast with Neal and everyone else just trying to be with him. The house was filled with someone or other and then mom and dad moved out but Travis moved in. Every day had been a new day filled with new experiences, some good some bad. One of them was Neal's first word which wasn't mama or dada but poop. I was really surprised when he said that, kind of laughed out loud at that but minutes later I didn't find it funny. He had really popped. I was kind of glad he learned that word first then any other word. At least he could warn us before bombing the diaper. Aiden missed his first word but Neal's first step was taken with him. A

Valerie "Hey, it’s just me," He said while standing up and coming close to me."You just scared me. What are you doing here the rest of the people are out there. They will be waiting for us." I rushed out on the last few words."They can wait for a moment. You know I have to do our daily custom right now." He said smiling. He took out a box from his pocket and went down his knee."Are you ready for this Val?" I nodded trying to seem normal as I always did."Valerie Crawford would you please marry me and give me the immense pleasure of being your husband." He proposed like he did every day from the past two years. You guys must be confused let me explain it to you and give you a recap.So I hope you might remember him asking me to marry him when our baby boy was born. Well, things didn't happen the way Aiden wanted."Please marry me now," He pleaded with tears in his eyes getting on his knees while our baby screamed for attention. I was on the verge of saying yes but the cries of the

Valerie "I think you should get changed, Val. You smell like vegetables." Carmen said to me laughing and I seriously smelled myself. I stink and reeked of spices and boiled vegetables. It wasn't a pleasant smell people."Thanks, you sure you won't need my help for a while because I seriously have got to take a bath," I asked her in hopes that she won't have more work for me. It was mean and bad for me to pray for something like that but handling a toddler while working and preparing for an event wasn't easy. I needed a relaxing bath."Sure honey, I'm mostly done here. The meat is cooking and I will be just taking that pie out and leaving it to rest. I myself would be heading to play with my grandson." She told me and I felt less guilty. I was so thankful for her handling everything like a pro. She shooed me away to my room to take a bath and told me not to worry at all. I entered Aiden's and my room. I had renovated it up to my and Aiden's tastes just a few months back with Neal's ro

ValerieAlmost 2 Years later............"Granpa!," Neal squealed running towards the door just to be picked up by Travis and hauled up in the air. Every time he did that I could feel my heart in my mouth. It was only when he would catch him I would breathe a sigh of relief."Dad, what did I tell you about doing that to him?" Travis looked almost guilty under that smile of his. Over the past two years, I have decided to call both of them dad. I was so tired of calling them by their names. At first, it was confusing but then they certainly got the hang of whom I was calling."He is fine Val and he loves when I do that. Don't you champ?" He asked Neal who only gave me a big smile. That boy was getting spoiled bad. I shook my head and saw Carmen and Bryan coming behind Travis."Neal!" Bryan yelled with excitement and that boy was moving from Travis's arms to Bryan's who kissed him all over his face making him laugh. Carmen and Bryan got married six months after Neal was born. It was real

"Are you alright?" Shay asked with worry etched over her face. She had been ignoring her work for past few weeks to stay with me as Aiden had some important project having him stay at the office for a while. Travis was at his office and Bryan with Carmen had gone to the restaurant to check the new supplies that were coming in today. It was only me and Shay and I really didn't want her to worry about me a lot. She was going to develop wrinkles."Yeah, just catching my breath. You know getting up straight is also a tiresome task nowadays. How about you help me sit straight I feel like going to the bathroom. My bladder is going to blast." I laughed trying to ease her worries as she helped me stand I felt the pain again but decided to ignore it. With a slow pace like that of a snail, I reached to my room and walked into the bathroom. As soon as I sat on the pot I felt water rushing out of me. I thought I just peed and was thankful of reaching bathroom on time until the pain hit me making

Valerie "I feel like a whale," I told to Shay, who sat at the end of the sofa while I laid on the couch with the remote for the tv. I was going to be around nine months pregnant in a week and this little buddy was going to come out soon. A lot has changed in last six months. I was no longer living in my apartment. Bryan had bought a new house which was closer to Travis and Aiden's house.The nursery was ready with hues of yellow and blue. Aiden and I had grown close but there had been nothing more than kisses and holding each other. The new house had many rooms and one of them was Aiden’s but he usually slept with me. He didn't go to his apartment often and just stayed here with me. He didn't want to miss any part of the baby and me being pregnant. He had warmed up to my heart, but hadn't been able to get that place back in my heart. His relationship with his mother was still rocky but they were at least talking. Whereas Laura and Aiden had drifted worlds apart.Laura had a breakdown

ValerieGod, this had to happen with me only. I groaned internally. this was right embarrassing. I felt Aiden sleeping on my legs with his hand feeling heavy on my belly. Besides it, I realize one more thing which was that I was going to puke. I felt it was coming, I knew it was and before I know I quickly pushing Aiden away and rushing to the bathroom kissing the porcelain seat. I puked and puked then brushed my teeth, gargled with mouthwash to get rid of that vile taste of bile. Being pregnant was not an easy task. "You have been caught red handed Aiden." It was Shay who was talking when I reached back to the living room. Aiden was on the floor rubbing his head. In my run to the bathroom, I might have pushed him a little too hard. Carmen stared at him while Shay busy staring at his share of uneaten food and smoothie. "I think we should have clicked the picture of the two together first," Carmen spoke without caring about the food. "Carmen she was eating mozzarella sticks and d

Aiden held my face and kissed me. I was stunned. I should have pulled back but I couldn't. I just couldn't. I was responding to his kiss, tasting our tears in it. Our kiss was passionate, our lips hungry for each other. It was a kiss filled with love and passion but yet soft. I could feel every part of my body needing his touch. It was wrong and yet it felt so right to do it. I was being lifted and pushed on my back. Our kiss never breaking. His torso in between my legs and my legs wrapped around him. His face in my hand and he took control over our kiss. Our tongues danced in sync. I was breathing heavily, I was feeling a need and then suddenly out of nowhere Laura popped up in my mind and the moment was lost from my side. My body stilled. My lips no longer responding to his and we break apart from our kiss. His eyes looked into mine searching for what stopped me. "What happened Val?" He asked concerned and worried. I closed my eyes and touch my lips. I knew that kiss we just had wa

Valerie "You... you what?" I finally managed to choke out."I didn’t know what else to do," he said, tears streaming down his face. "She was crying, Val. She was so upset, and I just wanted to make it better. I thought if I agreed, she’d be happy, and things would calm down. But I didn’t mean it. I don’t want to marry Laura. I don’t want to be with anyone but you."His words swirled around in my mind, but I couldn’t make sense of them. He had agreed to marry Laura? How could he do that to me, to us? I felt a surge of anger and betrayal."You agreed to marry her?" I repeated, my voice shaking. "How could you, Aiden? How could you do that to us?""I didn’t mean it," he pleaded. "I was just trying to calm her down. I don’t want to marry Laura. I love you, Val. You and our baby are everything to me.""But you said yes," I said, my voice rising. "You told her you’d marry Laura. Do you have any idea how that makes me feel? Do you even care about what I want, what I need?""Of course, I car
