I watch as my mother rushes her way down the stairs, "Jesus Christ Lissa, calm down." "It's first day mom. I need to hurry up." I answered her while she fixes her earrings. My dad was busy putting on his blazer on himself and fixes his tie while he was on the phone with someone, probably work related. It's my first day to go into college and my folks are worrying about me. Well I am nervous too cos every teenager would pass through this transition, high school to college then college to real world.

CHAPTER 95 PerpetuityPerpetuity- the state of continuing forever or for a very long time95NICK'S POVAt first, I never actually believed in happy endings that it exist because based from my past, I thought my happy ending ended when Catherine died. I shut myself out from people and never have opened myself to anyone except my sister and Alec. Sometimes I shut my sister and Alec too. I knew from the very beginning that reality and fantasy are two different things.But as I stand in the doorway of our bedroom and watch Savannah sleep, I knew my happy ending is already happening. She doesn't know I do this, but I do it every morning because she's the reason why I start my day, no matter how busy I am in the office.It wasn't the first incident that I've done this, the first time was the morning that I first met her.

I asked in disbelief.I wasn't mad that I found out about it but I was amused for what he has done to me and my family.

I couldn't believe it myself after all these years, he still helped us."I'm sorry Savannah." Nick tells me."I didn't tell nearly anyone about it because I don't want all of you to feel like you're all indebted to me. Because you're not." Nick adds.God I love him too much."How did you know I bought your company back from Damon?" He asked Cameron."I asked and did some investigations. $50 million is such a huge amount Nick.

Those were the words Nick said to me.At some point, I have concluded that life really is unfair and uncertain. Unfair, because at some point the good people dies and the bad people lives. Uncertain, because we don't know how our life goes and when the people close to us will be gone or will return.After Tracy's burial, all of us felt drained by how early she left us. I haven't even talked to her when I came here. I was planning on surprising her when me and Nick would fix things between us, but it's too late. She's gone and we won't see here anymore. It just hurts me as much as it hurts Nick because it felt like I lost a sister. A person very dear to me.

I don't know what's the occasion but he really asked me to come to this place and it is very unusual of him to do stuff like this to me. I finally marched my way inside and the waiter by the door stopped us."Good evening sir. Table for?" He asked.I scanned through the entire place, "I'm with a friend. Found him. Thanks.""Let's go Dani." I tell my daughter.Both of us started walking to the table where Aries was waiting and Dani ran towards him as quick as she could. I don't know why Dani loves him so much, maybe because of the lavishing gifts he sent her every time there's special occasions, most especially her birthdays and Christmases."Uncle Aries!" Dani hugs him."Oh pumpkin. Hello. Let me take a good look a

I have been wondering how you've been since it's been roughly five years I haven't talked and seen you. As for me, I was busy taking care of Tracy at the hospital lately. She's been getting her meds and chemo. But don't worry, I still have time to write you a letter though and I promised myself to write you until I see you again. I just hope you're not getting tired of receiving all of my letters.A few weeks from now you're turning twenty-seven. Every time I think about me being thirty-three, and how older I am from you, it just disgusts me of my age. I am really indeed too old for you. But we all know older guys are hotter. Haha ;) My wish for you, if ever I won't see you on your birthday cos I know you won't, is all the best for your future, with or without me. I know you could make it through wherever you go.

CHAPTER 90 Scarlet LetterScarlet Letter- A visible symbol of something you have done wrong and regretted, or a stigma of a past mistake you made that follows you90Dear Savannah,Hello my beautiful! I was honestly excited on writing you my second letter and for some reason I think you loved my first one. Don't deny it, I know you did ;) It's been a month and I miss talking to you. Well, you didn't respond to my first letter so basically I'm the one doing the talking.I smile.How's Melissa? Have you received her first month present? I'm proud of those since I was the one who picked most of it. All of it, actually. I hope everything will fit her. To be honest I really had a hard time picking those since I don't know what's her size. I chose the cutest outfits I saw and I've googled some baby clothes for girls so I had a few ideas. I'm sorry for acting like a father to her, I just felt comfortable when I held her on my arms that day.I stared at the baby clothes that he sent me and m
Love Ain't Always Pretty CHAPTER 89 Lie
CHAPTER 89 LieLie- statements which are untrue; to make an untrue statement with intent to deceive; to create a false or misleading impression; to bring about by telling liesOrigin: Middle English89There was a huge gift on Damon's hand and I was surprised with it. He bought a gift to Melissa but never dared to give it? Why? This means a lot to me because out of all Melissa's birthdays he never, not even once, gave her a gift. Every family occasion or special holidays like Christmases, he never gave her anything. Never.Even though I hate Damon so much because of all the cruel things he has done to me, this tiny thing he did for Melissa is huge, considering Melissa doesn't even bring his last name. It means he does love my daughter. He's at least beginning to love her. I know Damon is still a nice guy despite what he has become now, and he has his days all the time but right now I am really moved.He looks at me. "What are you doing here?""Is that a gift?" I asked. "For Melissa?"
