I don’t know why, but I’m nervous today. My heart’s beating very fast with my palms sweating. I can feel a surge of adrenaline coursing through my veins, making it difficult to stay calm. It's as if there's an unexplainable sense of anticipation in the air, heightening my unease. Why, this is just Brandon. I have met him a million times, but I have never felt anything like I’m feeling now. As I try to gather my thoughts, I realize that this nervousness might stem from the fact that Brandon has been acting differently lately. His usual warm smile and friendly demeanor had been replaced with a distant and mysterious aura.No, it's just my imagination. I'm probably overthinking things. Maybe he's just going through a rough patch after the surgery.Standing in front of Brandon’s hospital room, I couldn’t even make myself open the door. The uncertainty of what I might find on the other side made my heart race even faster. Was it possible that something had changed between us? My hand tremb
That is why I changed the subject, “Coming in, I grabbed your discharge papers, let’s just pack up and leave. Everyone is waiting for you at home.”All this time, I tried to hide my face from Brandon. I know that if he sees me, he’ll know that I’m disturbed. Brandon grabbed, my hand turning my face towards him. “Jane,”I plastered a fake smile on my face, handing his clothes to him. “Here are your clothes. Go change before we leave,”“Jane, talk to me. I don’t like when you’re silent,”“Oh, you don’t like my silence now. What about when you never even bothered to say hi to me?” The words that were grounded in my heart for days finally came out. “You ignored me, Brandon. I was always there with you like you asked, but you never even bothered to say a word to me, you can talk to everyone even your ex who left you alone with Marline but you can’t talk to me,” Brandon went silent for a moment, his eyes scanning me silently. “Just because I didn’t share the same feeling as you, you forgot
Life is not always what we want it to be; everyone who is born has to die once. This is the reality of anyone who is born; it can be me or, in my case, my whole family. Death is an inevitable part of the human experience, and it reminds us to cherish the time we have with our loved ones. While losing my entire family was difficult to bear, it also taught me the importance of appreciating the moments we share together. It made me realize that life is fragile and unpredictable, and we should make the most of every opportunity to create lasting memories with our loved ones.Sometimes we have to learn to let go and to look at what is close to us rather than what is gone. By focusing on the present and the people who are still with us, we can find solace and happiness in the relationships that remain. Embracing this perspective allows us to cultivate deeper connections and cherish the time we have with our loved ones even more.With Jared and all my family gone, I was as hopeless as one ca
"Mom, is it necessary to move places? I like it in here." Liam said it with a hint of sadness in his voice. He had grown attached to their current home, cherishing the memories they had created within its walls. I turn my eyes to him and see the longing in his gaze as he gazes at the familiar surroundings. "This place is good, and it will always remain in our hearts," I said as I reached out to hold his hand. "But sometimes change is necessary for growth and new experiences. Moving can be an opportunity for us to create new memories and discover new things together." "Who knows, you will start liking your new home even more than this one," I added with a reassuring smile. "We can make it our own and fill it with love, just like we did here." Liam nodded his head in agreement, his eyes reflecting a mix of uncertainty and hope. "Maybe, you're right. And can we come back here to visit our old home sometimes?" he asked, his voice filled with a hint of longing. "Of course," I replie
"Jared." I smiled, holding a bouquet of flowers in my hands. "These are for you. I know that you don't like flowers, but I couldn't resist getting them for you because they reminded me of the vibrant colors that light up your personality. I hope they bring a touch of joy to your day." I said this while standing in front of his grave, feeling a bittersweet mix of sadness and nostalgia. It had been years since he passed away, but his memory still lived on in my heart. As I placed the flowers gently on his grave, I whispered, "I miss you every day, Jared. Your vibrant spirit will forever be cherished.""I hope you are happy wherever you are and that you know how much you mean to me." With a heavy heart, I took a moment to reflect on the impact Jared had on my life and how much I wished he was still here with me."Thank you for always being there for me and for loving me," I said softly, tears welling up in my eyes. "And provide me a gift like Liam in life." As I stood there, memories of
"So where were we?" He smirked, his eyes twinkling mischievously, as he pushed the door open and guided me inside. As lips met once again, the worries and concerns of the outside world faded away, replaced by a shared sense of passion and love.At that moment, time seemed to stand still as our bodies pressed against each other, igniting a fiery desire that consumed us both. Lost in the intensity of our embrace, we surrendered ourselves to the intoxicating bliss of being completely present in each other's arms."Jane..." Brandon mumbled, breaking the kiss and staring at me with a mixture of adoration and longing in his eyes. "I never want this moment to end," he whispered, his voice filled with sincerity."Me too." I smiled, feeling the warmth of his words enveloping my heart.I leaned in closer, pressing my forehead against his, our breaths mingling in the space between us. "Let's make every second count," I whispered, sealing our promise with a gentle kiss. "Let's create memories of
The sun shines on my face as I bask in its warm rays, filling me with a sense of tranquility and joy. The gentle breeze caresses my skin, carrying with it the sweet scent of blooming flowers, creating a perfect moment of blissful serenity."It's beautiful," I said this as my eyes were staring out of the car window at the picturesque landscape passing by. The vibrant colors of nature blend harmoniously, painting a breathtaking scene that captivates my senses."You like it," Brandon asks with a smile, noticing my awe-struck expression.I nodded enthusiastically, unable to find words that could adequately describe the beauty before me. "Very."Brandon smiled before turning to the backseat of our car. "What about you guys? Do you like it?" He gestured towards our kids, who were also gazing in wonder at the scenery. Their eyes widened with excitement as they nodded in agreement, their silence speaking volumes about their admiration for the natural beauty surrounding us."I love it," Liam e
"Do you like it here?" Brandon asked as he looked around our new bedroom. I smiled and nodded. "Yes, I love it. Our room, the house." Brandon sighed and said, "I'm glad we have finally found a place that we all like." "It feels like a fresh start for us," I added, admiring the cozy atmosphere of our new bedroom. "I can already picture all the memories we'll make in this house." "Me too," Brandon said, wrapping his arms around me from the back and pulling me in for a warm embrace. "I can't wait to create a home filled with love and happiness." "I hope things are always this perfect," I whispered, leaning into his embrace. "But even if they're not, we'll face any challenges together and make this house a sanctuary for our love," Brandon added, planting a genuine kiss on his head as he spoke. "No matter what comes our way, I know that we will always find a way to overcome it and keep our love strong. This house will be a symbol of our commitment, and the memories we create here wil
"Mom…Dad." Both Liam and Marlene came running, wrapping their arms around each other in a tight embrace. Their faces beamed with excitement and joy as if they hadn't seen me in ages. It was a heartwarming moment that made me realize how much I had been missed during my absence."We missed you." Their voices were filled with genuine emotion, and I could feel the love and longing in their words. It was a reminder of the strong bond we shared as a family, and I couldn't help but be overwhelmed with gratitude for their unwavering support."I miss you, guys," I said, hugging them tight as Brandon joined the embrace."Don't forget about me." But to my surprise, the kids step away, avoiding Brandon. "Guys…" Brandon said, but the kids ignored him and continued to focus on me."Mom, you know Rachel is cooking dinner tonight, right? She said she missed all of us and wanted to make a special meal to celebrate our reunion." I smiled, touched by Rachel's thoughtfulness. "That's wonderful," I repli
"You are better off alone than someone who does not value and appreciate you fully," I said, staring at Marine with a mixture of concern and determination. "Thank you for the advice," she replied, her voice filled with a hint of sadness. "An opinion is all I can give you now. I can't ever forgive you for what you did," I continued, my tone firm. "But remember, you deserve someone who sees your worth and treats you with the love and respect you deserve." Marine nodded her head in understanding. "That's what I deserve," she whispered, her eyes welling up with tears. A knock on the door interrupted our conversation as Brandon entered the room, his expression curious. He glanced between Marine and me, sensing the tension in the air. "I should leave." Marine stood up from where she was sitting and wiped away her tears. "Thank you for being honest with me," she said, her voice shaky. "I will never disrupt your life again." She turned to Brandon, her eyes filled with sadness. "Don't hide
I still can't believe what kind of game fate is playing with me. It seems like every time I think things are finally going well, something unexpected happens to throw me off course. It's as if fate enjoys keeping me on my toes and testing my resilience.Everything started with losing my family at my wedding, and then my child Liam came into my life. I was happy, but then Brandon came and swiped me off my feet with his charm and charisma, making me fall in love with him at a time when I thought love was not for me after losing Jared. However, just when I thought I had found happiness again, fate decided to test me once more. Brandon changed and revealed a side of himself that I never could have anticipated. The person I thought I knew so well turned out to be someone completely different, leaving me feeling betrayed and heartbroken. And if that was not enough, I lost my baby.I had been carrying so much hope and excitement for the future, only to have it all come crashing down. It felt
"Don't break my trust." I heard Jane mumble under her breath as she turned away, her voice filled with disappointment and hurt. It was clear that her faith in me had been shattered, and it pained me to see the impact my actions had on her. I knew I had to find a way to regain her trust and make amends for the mistake I had made."Marine..." I called out, my voice filled with remorse and determination, as I watched Marine walk in from the door with a solemn expression on her face."What is she doing here?" Jane asked, her voice filled with confusion and a hint of annoyance as she stared at Marine. It was evident that she was still grappling with her own emotions, and the presence of Marine only added to her emotions."Jane, listen to me. Marine is here to say sorry and accept responsibility for what happened. She wants to make things right and rebuild the trust that was broken between us," I explained, my voice pleading for Jane's understanding. Marine stood silently, her eyes filled w
I groaned in pain as I clutched my aching stomach, the throbbing sensation spreading throughout my body. The sharp agony seemed to intensify with each passing moment, making it difficult to focus on anything else."Brandon..." I mumbled through gritted teeth, desperately hoping he would hear my plea for help. But the pain was so overwhelming that even speaking felt like an impossible task. With my eyes closed, I tried to steady my breathing and find some relief from the relentless torment."My baby, save my baby," I whispered, tears streaming down my face. "My baby…" I plead in a weak and trembling voice, the words barely audible."Jane…." I heard a voice whisper my name, and I felt a gentle touch on my shoulder. Opening my eyes, I saw Brandon sitting beside me, his expression filled with concern and determination."Brandon…Brandon." I choked out his name, desperately reaching for his hand. "Please, you have to help me save our baby," I pleaded, my voice cracking with fear and despera
"You want me, right?" I said, staring at her, my voice filled with a mix of anger and disappointment. I was angry towards her and disappointed in her for not protecting Jane from the pain Marine had caused."I am all yours now," I said coldly, my eyes narrowing as I held back the flood of emotions. "That's what you wanted, right? To be at your beck and call, to do your bidding without question. Well, congratulations! You've succeeded in breaking me down. But don't think for a second that I'll forget what you've done." My words hung heavy in the air, emphasizing the depth of my resentment towards her.I smiled sadly, staring at her. She stared back, seemingly unaffected by my words. "Have me now; what are you waiting for?" I challenged her, my voice laced with a mix of defiance and vulnerability. The silence between us grew, amplifying the tension in the car as I awaited her response, wondering if she truly understood the weight of her actions."Brandon..." Marine mumbled softly, her v
"You are not leaving!" Marine shouted, running in front of my car."Not again." Daniel signed, holding Marien away from my path. "Go," he said as I drove away, feeling a mix of relief and guilt.And I drove as fast as I could to the hospital, where Rachel, Daniel's sister, was waiting for us. And with Rachel's help, we admitted Jane as fast as we could to the emergency room. The doctors immediately began assessing her condition, while Rachel and I anxiously waited for any updates. We knew Jane's health was in critical condition, and we hoped that the hospital staff would be able to provide the necessary care she needed."How does that happen?" Rachel asks as we sit in the waiting room, our minds filled with worry and confusion."Can we talk later?" I said, burrowing my head in my hands and trying to process the events that had unfolded. Rachel nodded understandingly, her eyes filled with concern.Time seems to be passing slowly as we wait for any news about Jane's condition. Every min
"Don't worry, Jane; we will get to the hospital soon. Nothing is going to happen to you." I mumbled as I leaned down to carry her frail body in my arms. Her pale face was filled with pain. It hurts me to see her in so much pain, but I knew that I had to stay strong for her. "Stay away from her!" Marine shouted, pushing me away from Jane. I stumbled back, shocked by Marine's sudden outburst. "Marine, stop your tantrums." I pleaded, trying to calm her down. "I need to get Jane as soon as possible." Marine's eyes filled with tears as she looked at Jane's suffering. "I'm sorry, I just can't bear to see her like this," she whispered, her voice trembling. "But I don't want to lose you too." Marine pleaded, her heart breaking. Marine continues to cry as she struggles to control her emotions. But I don't have time for her now; my Jane is in danger. Her life is hanging by a thread, and I need to save her. "Marine, leave us alone," I said firmly, my voice filled with urgency. "I need to tak
"What do you find?" I asked Daniel, curious about what he had discovered while sitting in his car. His eyes gleamed with excitement as he began to share his surprising findings, revealing a flounder filled with confidential documents and photographs."Your lovely ex's dirty secrets are all right here," he said, a mischievous grin forming on his face. "It seems like she had quite a few skeletons in her closet that she never wanted anyone to know about.""Daniel, can you be serious for once?" I sighed. "Sorry," Daniel said, his grin fading slightly. "But you won't believe what I found. These documents and photographs could potentially expose some serious wrongdoing." He handed me the folder, and as I flipped through the pages, my heart sank at the thought of the consequences this could have for my ex.Documents of her illegal activities and compromising photographs with influential individuals were scattered throughout the folder. Drug trafficking, embezzlement, and even evidence of bri
