"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
"You don't know how happy I am; I feel like I'm on cloud nine!" Brandon said with a wide grin on his face. "Everything seems to be falling into place, and I couldn't be more grateful," he added, expressing his overwhelming joy and contentment. I nodded my head as I watched Brandon kneel in front of me, placing his palm on my belly and feeling the warmth of his touch. "I can't wait to meet our little one," he whispered, his eyes shimmering with anticipation and love. "Me too," I said, placing my hand above him and feeling a surge of emotions. As tears started streaming from my eyes, I couldn't help but feel an overwhelming sense of happiness and gratitude. "Jane, why are you crying?" Bradon stood up, holding my face in between his hands, concern etched across his face. "Are you okay?" he asked, his voice filled with worry. I took a deep breath, trying to compose myself before responding. I nodded my head, but the tears didn't stop flowing. "I'm just so happy," I managed to say, my
Brandon picked me up in his arms and carried me to our room, gently placing me on the bed. He looked at me with a loving smile and whispered, "So, what kind of examination are you hoping for from the doctor?"I gazed back at him, feeling a mix of nervousness and anticipation. "I'm hoping for a thorough check-up to ensure everything is alright," I replied, hoping my words would convey my desire for reassurance. As his hand reached out to hold mine, I felt a sudden surge of comfort and warmth as his hands gently glided over my skin, sending a shiver down my spine. "Here," he said, placing his hand over my chest, just above my heart. "I will listen to your heartbeat and check for any irregularities," he explained, his voice soothing and reassuring. I nodded, waiting to see what he was about to do next, and to my surprise, he placed his ear over my chest and closed his eyes, focusing intently on the rhythmic thumping of my heart. He is so close that I can feel his breath on my skin, cre
"We can't have sex, but that doesn't mean we can't do other things," Brandon said, playfully ruffling my hair."What do you mean?" I ask, raising an eyebrow curiously. Brandon chuckles and leans in closer, whispering mischievously, "Let me show you." My heart races at his playful suggestion, and I feel a mix of excitement and nervousness. What does he mean by other things? I wonder, my mind racing with possibilities."Let me show you," Brandon said with a mischievous grin, his eyes sparkling with anticipation. "Brandon, what are you about to do?" I asked as Brandon wrapped his hands around my waist. and pulls me closer. "Sit on my face," he replies, his voice filled with a combination of mischief and desire. My heart skips a beat as I process his bold request, my mind racing with a mix of curiosity and apprehension. "But we never did it before," I say hesitantly, unsure of how to respond. Brandon's mischievous grin widens as he leans in closer, whispering, "That's what makes it e
I sighed happily, staring at that beauty sleeping in my arms, her peaceful expression filling my heart with joy. How could I be so lucky to have someone like her in my life? She was my rock, always there to support me and bring a smile to my face. Her presence made every day brighter, and I couldn't imagine my life without her. Jane, my wife and the love of my life, was the epitome of strength and grace. Her unwavering love and devotion had seen us through the toughest of times, and I knew that as long as we were together, we could conquer anything life threw our way. I would have already been dead if it weren't for her, but now look at me; I am healthy, happy, and thriving. I moved my hand toward her, careful not to interrupt her sleep. As I felt the warmth of her skin, I couldn't help but be overwhelmed with gratitude for giving me the best news of my life: she was going to be a mother. The joy and excitement welled up inside me, knowing that our love would now extend to a new g
"Are you ready?' Brandon asked me with a curious look on his face. I nodded, feeling a mix of excitement and nervousness coursing through me."This is our first ultrasound appointment," I replied, trying to hide my growing anticipation. "I can't wait to see our baby for the first time.""Me too," Brandon replied, a smile spreading across his face. "It's such a special moment, and I'm grateful to be experiencing it with you.""You know, you could have been my doctor," I asked Bradnon with a playful grin. "I trust you more than anyone else."Brandon chuckled and shook his head. "As much as I appreciate the vote of confidence, I want to experience these moments as if you were a father and your husband, not as your doctor. I want to be fully present and cherish every second of this journey with you." He touched my belly gently, his eyes filled with love and excitement. "Our baby is growing inside you, and I want to be there for every milestone, every kick, and every precious moment. Being
"We get some sweets for the kids while going home," I suggested that we stop by the local bakery and pick up a variety of treats that the kids would enjoy.Brandon nodded his head with a smile. "Sweet for you, but what about you?"I smiled back at Brandon and reassured him, "Don't worry. You are sweet enough for me." I chucked and gave him a playful wink."Naughty," Bradon said, ruffling my hair. I playfully swatted his hand away and replied, "Hey now, no messing up my hair!" We both laughed and continued on our way to the bakery. We brought some cakes, donuts, and pastries that looked absolutely delicious. The kids would be thrilled with the assortment of treats we have chosen. We also chose some sugar-free treats for Marline, who has diabetes. We wanted to make sure she could enjoy something sweet too. "Let's go home then," Bradon said with a handful of sweet goodies. We made our way back, our car packed with the delicious treats we had bought. As we drove home, the aroma of fres
I opened my eyes and found myself lying on a hospital bed, surrounded by sterile white walls and the soft hum of medical equipment. The bright overhead lights made me squint as I tried to piece together how I ended up here."My baby..." I whispered, my voice barely audible. Panic surged through me as I frantically touched my belly, feeling for any signs of movement or life."Jane." I heard Brandon call my name from beside the bed. His face was filled with concern as he gently placed a hand on my shoulder."Brandon." I hold his hand tightly, seeking comfort and reassurance. Tears welled up in my eyes as I realized the gravity of the situation. "What happened? Is our baby okay?" I asked, my voice trembling with fear. Brandon's grip tightened, his eyes reflecting the same worry that consumed me."Jane, are you fine?" He asked, his voice filled with genuine concern. I could see the worry lines etched on his forehead as he waited for my response."I am fine, but not my baby," I whispered, m
"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
