Third person's point of viewAs the sun began to set over the horizon, the sky turned into a beautiful mix of orange, pink and purple. The gentle breeze blew through the trees, making the leaves rustle in unison. In the distance, the sound of birds chirping could be heard. It was a serene evening, and it was perfect for the couple that sat on the blanket in the park.Alivia and Joseph had been dating for almost two months now, and they were madly in love with each other. They enjoyed spending time together, and this evening was no exception. They had brought along a bottle of wine, some cheese and crackers, and were enjoying a picnic in the park.As the sun started to set, Alivia snuggled closer to Joseph. He wrapped his arm around her and pulled her closer. They looked into each other's eyes, and it was as if the world around them had disappeared. In that moment, it was just the two of them.Without saying a word, Alivia leaned in and kissed Joseph. It was a soft, gentle kiss at firs
Christiana’s point of viewSame thing same feeling. But the characters were different.Ah!As Emily sat nervously in the upscale restaurant, she couldn't help but wonder why she had agreed to this. She was about to meet a man she had never seen before, to discuss a proposal that was both unexpected and unconventional.Emily had always been a practical woman, and when she heard about the possibility of a contract marriage, she was intrigued. She had been single for too long, and the idea of a mutually beneficial arrangement was starting to seem like a good idea.The door opened, and a man walked in. Emily's breath caught in her throat as she watched him make his way towards her. He was tall and muscular, with dark hair and piercing blue eyes that seemed to look right through her. He was handsome, there was no denying that, but there was something about him that made her uneasy."Emily?" he said, extending his hand. "I'm Eric."Emily shook his hand, feeling a shiver run down her spine.
Christiana's point of viewAs soon as the ink dried on their contract marriage, the fights between Emily and Eric began. At first, it was small things - leaving the toilet seat up or not doing the dishes - but it quickly escalated into something much bigger.Emily had always dreamed of finding love and starting a family, but when her parents died and she was left with no financial support, she found herself at a loss. That's when Eric, a wealthy businessman, proposed a contract marriage. He needed a wife to maintain his image, and she needed financial stability. It seemed like a win-win situation, but the reality was much different.Emily couldn't stand the way Eric treated her like a business transaction. He was cold and distant, and she couldn't shake the feeling that he only saw her as a means to an end. And Emily, for his part, resented the fact that he had to be tied down to someone he didn't love.Their fights were explosive. They screamed and shouted at each other, each blaming
Third person’s point of viewAs soon as the door to their apartment closed behind them, Christiana and Tiger slumped onto the couch. They had just come back from a dinner party where everyone had asked them how their "marriage" was going. They both knew what they meant – their contract marriage. Till then everyone out there had come to know about the reality of their contract marriage and what were they doing. Their marriage was no more a secret it was open to all.Tiger cleared his throat, breaking the silence. "Christiana, I've been thinking about something we need to discuss."Christiana looked up at him, wondering what Tiger could be talking about. "What is it?""Our marriage contract is coming up for renewal in a few weeks," Tiger said. "I think we should talk about whether or not we want to renew it."Christiana's stomach sank. She knew this conversation was coming, but she still was not prepared for it. "Tiger, I thought we agreed that this was just a temporary thing until we b
Christiana’s point of viewAs I walked out of the courthouse, I couldn't help but feel a sense of relief mixed with sadness. My marriage of approximately a year was officially over. It was a broken marriage that had been slowly falling apart for years, but it was still difficult to accept that it was truly over.I thought about all the things that had led us to this point. The fights that we couldn't resolve, the lies that we told each other, the trust that we lost. We were two people who were in love, but did not want to stay together, but we stayed together for the sake of their needs. It was a mistake that we both made, but we couldn't undo it now.I walked down the street, lost in thought, and memories flooded back to me. The first time we met, the way he made me laugh, the way he held me when I was sad. But those happy memories were tainted by the memories of our fights, the hurtful words that we said to each other, and the tears that we shed.I realized that we had both changed
Third person's point of viewTiger had always thought that he was a strong man. He had weathered the storms of life with resilience, taking on each challenge with a steadfast resolve. But the divorce had shattered him in ways he never thought possible.He had spent the last few months in a daze, going through the motions of his daily routine without truly being present. He had lost the love of his life, his best friend, and the mother of his children. The pain was too much to bear, and he found himself retreating into a shell of himself.Tiger was hiding his feelings from everyone around him. His friends and family tried to reach out, but he would brush them off, insisting that he was fine. He didn't want to burden anyone with his pain, and he didn't want to admit that he was struggling.The truth was that Tiger felt like a failure. He had tried so hard to make the marriage work, but in the end, it had all fallen apart. He couldn't shake the feeling that he had let everyone down, incl
Tiger's point of viewI sat alone in our old apartment, staring at the empty space where my wife's belongings used to be. It had been months since she had left, but the pain of her absence still lingered.Our divorce had been messy and painful, with bitter arguments and hurtful words exchanged on both sides. In the end, we had decided that it was better to part ways - but that didn't make the loss any easier to bear.I missed her in so many ways. I missed the sound of her laughter, the feel of her hand in mine, the way she always knew just what to say to make me feel better.But most of all, I missed the sense of belonging that came with being with her. Even in our darkest moments, there had always been a sense of comfort and safety that came from knowing that we were in it together.Now, that sense of belonging was gone. I felt adrift and alone, like a ship lost at sea.I tried to fill the void with work and other distractions, but nothing seemed to bring me the same sense of fulfill
Christiana’s point of viewAs soon as I stepped inside the quaint cafe, the sweet aroma of freshly brewed coffee greeted me. The warm and inviting atmosphere made me feel right at home. It was a small but cozy space, with wooden tables and chairs placed close together, encouraging conversations between strangers.I took a seat at a small table by the window, allowing me to soak in the vibrant energy of the city outside. I pulled out my notebook and pen, ready to write down my thoughts and observations. As I sipped on my latte, I couldn't help but notice the diverse mix of people around me.A young couple sat at the table next to me, deeply engrossed in their conversation. A group of college students huddled together, laughing and sharing stories. An elderly man sat alone at a corner table, lost in thought.As I continued to observe my surroundings, I couldn't help but feel a sense of belonging. Despite being alone, I was surrounded by the hustle and bustle of the city and the company
The warm summer breeze rustled through the trees outside the porch, where Christiana and Tiger sat together on their favorite wooden swing. They watched as their daughter Stella, a recent college graduate, sat across from them, her eyes filled with a mixture of excitement and uncertainty. It was time for a heart-to-heart conversation about her future goals.Christiana gently clasped Tiger's hand and smiled at Stella. "My dear, we've been so proud of you for graduating alongside your brothers, Robert and Gabriel. Your journey has just begun, and we want to know what you're thinking for the near future."Stella's gaze shifted from her parents to the horizon, as if searching for answers in the distance. She took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. "Well, Mom, Dad, I've been doing some soul-searching lately. College has opened my eyes to countless possibilities, and I want to make the most of them."Tiger nodded, encouraging Stella to continue. "That's wonderful, Stella. You have so much po
Robert's heart raced as he watched Alena walk across the college campus. Her radiant smile lit up the surroundings, captivating everyone who caught a glimpse of her. They had been classmates from the very beginning, sharing countless moments of laughter and learning together. But now, as they stood on the precipice of graduation, Robert's feelings for Alena had taken an unexpected turn, blossoming into something more profound and intense.Every time he saw her, his heart skipped a beat. Her enchanting eyes, her infectious laughter, and her kind-hearted nature had woven themselves into the fabric of his existence. Yet, he couldn't find the courage to tell her how he felt. The fear of rejection and the potential loss of their friendship held him back, leaving him trapped in a bittersweet limbo.As the days passed, a heavy cloud of melancholy settled over Robert. The knowledge that Alena would be leaving for London soon, pursuing her dreams and carving her path in life, intensified his i
The sun shone brightly over the charming town of Meadowbrook, where the lives of Christiana, Tiger, Helen, Simon, Lucy, and Abraham had unfolded. The passing of time had woven new stories into the fabric of their lives, and now, 25 years later, their children had grown into remarkable individuals.Stella Kelvin, the daughter of Christiana and Tiger, had inherited her mother's grace and her father's determination. Her golden curls cascaded down her shoulders, framing a face that exuded both intelligence and kindness. Stella had always been curious about the world, constantly seeking new adventures to embark upon. At the age of 26, she had just returned from a research expedition to the Amazon rainforest, where she had been studying the diverse flora and fauna.Gabriel Kelvin, son of Helen and Simon, possessed his father's sharp intellect and his mother's warm heart. His deep-set hazel eyes mirrored the depths of his compassion and his fiery spirit. A talented artist, Gabriel had forged
Christiana sat on the couch, gazing out of the window with a wistful expression. Her fingers traced absentminded patterns on the armrest, her thoughts consumed by the absence of her brother-in-law Simon and his wife, Helen. The couple had recently moved into their new home across town, and though Christiana should have been happy for their new beginnings, she couldn't help but feel a sense of emptiness in her heart.Beside her, Tiger, her loving husband, noticed her melancholy and placed a comforting hand on her shoulder. They had always been a close-knit family, and the sudden void left by Simon and Helen's absence was hard to ignore. Christiana turned to meet Tiger's gaze, her eyes filled with longing."Tiger," she sighed, "I miss them so much. Our house feels incomplete without them."Tiger nodded understandingly. He too missed the lively presence of their beloved family members. The house seemed quieter, the laughter less frequent, and the familiar warmth that Simon and Helen brou
Christiana woke up with a sense of excitement tingling through her veins. It was the day she had been eagerly awaiting—the day she and her husband, Tiger, would take her brother, Abraham, shopping for his engagement. Abraham and his girlfriend, Lucy, had decided to take their relationship to the next level and were planning to get engaged in just a few weeks' time.As she prepared breakfast, Christiana's mind raced with ideas of what Abraham and Lucy's engagement could be like. She envisioned a beautiful garden party, adorned with twinkling lights and vibrant flowers, where family and friends would come together to celebrate their love. The thought brought a smile to her face as she poured steaming coffee into two mugs.Tiger joined her at the breakfast table, his eyes still heavy with sleep. But Christiana knew that beneath his grogginess, he shared her excitement. They had always been a team, supporting each other through life's ups and downs. Today was no different, as they would h
The soft glow of the fireplace cast a warm and inviting light throughout the cozy living room, where Christiana and Tiger sat together, sipping their evening tea. The crackling of the logs in the hearth provided a soothing background melody as they settled into their favorite armchairs. The events of the day had given rise to a topic of discussion that had been lingering in their minds, weighing on their hearts. Abraham and his recent marriage.Christiana's eyes were fixed on the dancing flames as she spoke, her voice laced with a mixture of concern and curiosity. "Tiger, have you ever thought about Abraham's marriage? It feels like such a sudden and unexpected turn of events. I can't help but wonder if he made the right decision."Tiger leaned back, his brow furrowing in contemplation. He took a deep breath before responding, his voice filled with empathy. "I've pondered the same, my love. Abraham has always been independent, following his own path, unyielding to the expectations of
Christiana stood in front of the mirror, adjusting her dress and smoothing down her hair. She couldn't help but feel a flutter of excitement in her chest. Today was a special day—it was her brother Abraham's birthday, and she and Tiger had planned a surprise party for him. Abraham had come to stay with them for a few days, and Christiana wanted to make his visit memorable.In the living room, the sound of laughter and chatter filled the air as Tiger welcomed the guests. They had invited a small group of close friends and family to celebrate Abraham's special day. The room was adorned with colorful balloons and streamers, and a long table was set up with delicious snacks and treats.Christiana glanced at the clock and realized it was almost time to reveal the surprise. She took a deep breath and walked out of her room, making her way downstairs. As she reached the bottom of the stairs, the guests erupted into cheers and applause."Surprise!" they shouted in unison, and Christiana could
Tiger paced back and forth in the grand living room of the Kelvin palace, his mind racing with worry and frustration. Christiana, his wife, watched him with a heavy heart. They both knew that their family was on the verge of yet another painful split. Simon and Helen, Christiana's brother-in-law and sister-in-law, had made the difficult decision to leave the Kelvin business empire, driven by a deep sense of disappointment and resentment.The root of the problem lay in Tiger's denial of Simon's long-awaited promotion. Simon had dedicated six months of hard work and unwavering loyalty to the Kelvin business. He firmly believed that he deserved recognition for his efforts and a chance to prove himself in a higher position. However, despite his qualifications and capabilities, the higher authorities had refused to acknowledge his potential.Christiana reached out and gently touched Tiger's arm, attempting to calm his inner turmoil. "Tiger, I understand that family dynamics can be complica
Christiana sat in her favorite armchair in the living room, a cup of steaming tea in her hands. The sound of raindrops tapping against the windowpane provided a soothing backdrop to her thoughts. It had been a long day, and she was looking forward to a quiet evening at home.Her attention was momentarily interrupted by the distant sound of the front door closing. She recognized the voices of her sister-in-law, Helen, and her brother-in-law, Tiger. Curiosity piqued, Christiana put her cup down and discreetly positioned herself closer to the open doorway, hoping to catch snippets of their conversation.Tiger's voice was low, tinged with frustration. "I don't understand why Simon isn't happy. He's only been with us for a few months, and already he's expecting a higher position. It's not fair."Christiana's heart skipped a beat. Simon, Tiger's cousin, had joined Tiger's office after his own business had gone bankrupt. Initially, Christiana had been relieved to hear that Simon was finding
