Story Title: Love and Crosses: What The Heart WantsChapter Seventeen “I am pregnant,” Charlotte said. Riele and the two guys in the house looked at her with shocked expressions written on their faces. Riele wasn’t shocked about it because she knew the truth already but she was shocked that Charlotte would discuss it without telling her about it. “What do you mean?” Jay asked. “Is it the same ‘pregnant’ I know about or is it another word for something I do not know about?” Charlotte smiled, “it is the same ‘pregnant’ you know about.” “How many weeks?” Kim asked. “Four weeks.” “The father?” He asked. Charlotte looked at Riele before telling them who the father was. “You are saying Kim Utter is the father? The same Kim Utter I told Riele to get as the male model?” Charlotte and Riele nodded. “That was why I tried talking you out of it. I don’t know what made you change your mind about hiring him but I am glad you didn’t,” answered Riele. “I wasn’t sure I was ready to face him ye

Reality "That was when it started. I tried my best to avoid him but I couldn't."Charlotte said."You mean you fell in love with him?" Riele asked in disbelief.Charlotte bowed her head in shame, "I never intended to.""So, how did the pregnancy happen?" Jay asked."It was on his birthday. Riele didn't want to go and I didn't want to either but Mr. Owen told me I had to be there."~~~Flashback~~~ "I can't go, Mr. Owen," Riele said but before I could say anything, Mr. Owen turned to me and said."You are going, Charlotte and we ain't debating on this. Someone has to go and if Riele doesn't want to because of how much she hates him which of course I'd suggest she shouldn't, you have to go.""BUT...""No buts. You are going and that's finally," and he left."Let me know if you need help kicking his ass," Riele said almost smiling."Come on, Riele, let's go together." I pleaded but Riele refused."I wish it didn't have to be Kim Utter, I'd have come along." She touched my shoulders to gi

They stared at each other while Charlotte and Jay watched them. "How do you expect me to prove it?" Kim asked her in a soft voice. "I will be in my room." Riele stood up and was about to leave but he caught her by her wrist."If you aren't a coward, tell me." Riele jerked her hand away from his. "I don't care if you know about love or not all I know is you are nothing but a..." before she could go further, he pulled her close and kissed her.Jay and Charlotte opened their eyes in shock. No one expected that. Kim pulled away and when he noticed her shocked reaction he said, "It's obvious you haven't had your first kiss yet. I won't be surprised if you haven't dated anyone either." "I hate you!" Riele yelled and ran to her room.Kim was satisfied with what he did, this would make her shut up for a while, he thought.Jay didn't know if to feel angry or jealous but he wasn't happy with what he saw."Make sure she comes to work when she is fully okay and make sure to take enough rest a
Love and Crosses: What The Heart Wants Chapter 020: Jay Plans To Confess His Feelings To Riele
The following day, Riele got dressed for work. She left early to avoid Charlotte from stopping her. It was seven in the morning, the weather was chilly. She ran back inside to get her scarf, gloves, and coat then she headed for the road. She boarded a taxi that took her to her office. Arriving there, she met someone she never expected, Kim Utter. What the hell is he doing here? She asked herself. Just as she was about to walk to him, he entered the office, straight to the elevator. Riele had to wait till the elevator was ready for use. After some time, she got in and it took her to the third floor where her office is. Jay was the first to see her so he ran to approach her. "What are you doing here? Chae Woon said you should stay home. Why did you come to work?" "I am scared he is going to deduct my salary. I don't trust him a bit." Jay noticed she was restless like she was searching for something. "Are you looking for something?" He asked. "Did you happen to see which way Kim Utt

Jay took Riele out to a beautiful place. It was filled with flowers and there were a few couples there. "What's this place?" she asked him. "It's Called, 'A place of love." Jay watched her stare at the place with amazement. "It's where lovers come to spend some time or where someone comes to profess his love to the one he loves."Riele turned to look at him when he heard it. What does he mean by that? She thought. They weren't lovers. Does that mean... "Riele, I have been dying to let you know this." he paused, grabbed her hands, and placed a tiny kiss on them. "I love you, Riele. I don't know how long this feeling has been there but I can't seem to hold it in anymore. I can't seem to pretend that we are just friends when I feel something deep for you." Riele was about to speak but he continued. "I get jealous when I see someone else making you smile. I was angry when Kim kissed you and it was then I realized that... I love you."Riele was shocked. She wasn't expecting this when s

“Riele,” Kim called with a smile on his faceRiele was confused. First, he came to her house unannounced and now he is smiling at her. “Listen, I know you are wondering why I am here and I will explain all that if you just stop standing there and staring at me like that.” She couldn’t believe she had been standing there for a while. She mustered up the courage and sat down next to him. She wanted the night to be over so she could sleep through all the whole happenings today. She waited for him to say what he had to say so that he could get the hell out of her house. “How was your day with Jay?” Why is he asking me about Jay? She asked herself. “It was great,” she answered. “I had a good time with him.” “I see.” He rubbed his palms together and his eyes were fixed on something she couldn’t place her mind on. He slowly turned to her and asked, “Did you tell him yes?” What? Does that mean he knew about Jay’s plan? Is that why he is here? But why would he be h

The following day, Riele went over to Charlotte's house. She was unable to get any sleep because she didn't trust Utter with her best friend. What if he decides to hurt the baby? She arrived at her place and pressed the doorbell several times but there was no sign of Charlotte. She was about to kick the door with her leg when the door opened only for Charlotte to see Riele in a karate style. She was shocked."What is going on?" She asked.Riele cleared her throat, ignored her question and went inside the house. "What took you so long to open the door?""I was just coming out of the bathroom and you didn't tell me that you were coming around." Charlotte was watching her friend search the whole apartment. "What are you looking for?""Where is he?""Oh! Kim?" She asked.Riele came to meet her and she could tell that something definitely happened last night. "Yes, Kim. The one you said came over last night drunk, the one...""Chill girlfriend, I know the Kim you are talking about.""Well

"Hey," he called.She turned to look at him and flash him a bittersweet smile. "Hi, how was the shoot?" She asked.Jay could tell that there was something different about the way she sounded. He knew something had happened in his absence."It was okay. I finished fast so I could catch up with you. What are you doing here though?""I was just getting some fresh air.""Is there something you aren't telling me?""Uh?"Jay held her hand and pulled her close. "Your face..." he stroke her face. "...your eyebrows..." he touched them as he straightened. "...and the sound of your voice tells me something is wrong.""It is nothing... I just...""Is it because of what happened last night? I apologized and I told you that I will wait for you.""No, Jay, it is not about you.""Then who?"Riele bit her lips as she looked at Jay. He was so worried about her. Why

It's urgent."The assistant hesitated for a moment, but then complied with Utter's request. "Please hold," she said, placing him on hold. “Um, Miss Jane, can you please get Mr. Kim?” Amanda politely asked Jane who was standing in a corner.“What's wrong?”“It's one of our ex-models…”“Put him on loudspeaker,” Jane cut in before Amanda could finish her sentence.Amanda did as she was told.After what felt like an eternity, Utter was furious.

Charlotte had to walk Harry home before going back to her own house. On the way, she met Madison and Utter talking and laughing. She greeted Madison but ignored Utter. “Hi, Maddy,” she greeted with a smile. “Shouldn’t you be at work?” “I was fired.” “What?” She nodded and went on to tell what happened, but she hid the part where she slapped Riele. “I pleaded with him to forgive me, but he was adamant,” she shrugged. “I don’t think that makes any sense.” Charlotte thought about the whole scenario, but they didn’t make any sense to her. “Why would Kim behave so irrationally?” Madison shrugged. “I see you are doing pretty well.” She smiled and nodded. “Yes, I am.” “Who’s the father?” Madison asked, without a second thought. “Um…” she bit her lips and glanced at Utter, who was waiting for her response. “Is your child a bastard?” Madison whispered. “No, he is not. I just can’t tell you who the father is.” She patted Madison’s shoulder and left. Madison couldn’t believe what had

She couldn’t tell if he was serious or if he was pulling her legs.“I promise that I won’t hurt your feelings, Riele.”“Um…Kim, I don’t think we should…” She tried to leave, but he held her hand and pulled her closer to him. He lifted her chin so she could look at him.“I love you, Riele. I know we started on the wrong foot, but believe me, it made me realize that I love you.”“Kim…I can’t…” he placed his index finger on her lips, shushing her.Riele had no choice, but to remain silent and listen to his confession.“Give me a chance, that’s all I am asking for.”“Kim…”“Don’t turn me down without knowing my true intentions, Riele.”“I…”“Do you love me?”“I…” She bowed her head. She didn’t want him to see her tearing up, but he did before she could hide it.He lifted her chin and saw her teardrops.

At midnight, Kim took his phone and sent a text message to Riele. “Where are you now?”“I thought you worked after seeing your mom.”“Is everything okay with your mom?”“I’d appreciate it if you would reply to my text messages.”He dropped his phone close to his bed hoping to hear a beep or something, but there was no notification at all. “Are you home now?” he heard Jay asked on the phone. “Is everything okay with you? Do you feel fine?”Jay entered the room where Kim was and sat on the bed. “Does that mean I will see you tomorrow?”After a few seconds, he looked at Kim who was looking at him back before looking away. “I am sure he wouldn’t mind.”No one needed to tell Kim who Jay was on the phone with. He folded his arms and listened to their conversations. “Okay, I will see you tomorrow then.”“How is Charlotte?”“Okay. I have to go now. Bye.”He hung up and dropped his phone on the shelf beside the bed. He was about to lie down his head when Kim stopped him. “How is she?”“W

"As long as it's edible, I'm good with anything you cook," he replied. Charlotte served him his food and asked, "Lemon juice or orange juice?" "Lemon juice is fine, thank you." She poured him a glass from the fridge. "When is the baby due?" "Three months from now, and you'll have a younger brother," she replied. "Cool!" Harry exclaimed.

She was happy and a great joy filled her heart as she thought about the text she received from the doctor. Her thought was disturbed by the continuous beeping of a car. She was getting irritated because she felt the beeping was directed toward but she was on the sidewalk and not the road, so why the beeping? She asked herself and then she turned only to find a Rolls-Royce Phantom driving in her direction and the moment she stopped, the car stopped and the driver rolled down the window and she saw it was her boss.
