"IT'S MINE!" Boo and Jasper said at the exact same time. I felt my cheeks burn as Dr. Steward's eyes widened and stared at me in disbelief.
"I'm not pregnant. I'm on the pills, okay? And I'm careful. I just. I fainted because I cannot believe out of all the men in this city, the two of you had to be cousins and then you started killing each other. And oh yeah you had to love the same girl before too. This is just my karma for thinking I could try to.. to.. to be the playgirl for a change. Be a witchy woman! Ha! What's really funny is I thought I could manage it. Being indifferent and not minding my heart. But it turns out I have a conscience and I was gonna tell you tonight, Boo that I wa

April 22, 2009 Jasper I laid the white roses on her grave. The weather seemed to reflect my feelings as rain clouds suddenly covered the sun and thunder roared after a flash of lightning shot across the sky. “Hi, Dais. So, um, I met a girl. Her name's Lucille. She’s beautiful, smart, kind and funny. Well to tell you the truth she’s just like you. I miss you so much, you know that? Um, I’m..I’m really sorry I couldn’t help you before. For not noticing that you were suffering. I’ve hated myself for it. Lucille tells me I should let go of my anger and guilt and shame. And I'm trying, Dais. She makes me want to live life again and to let myself be loved. I’m so in love with her.” The drople

Where are you? April 22, 2009 Boo I couldn't shake off the disappointment in Lucille's face when I told her I needed to leave her at the party for a while. I wanted to tell her I was going to the police station, but I didn't want to worry her. Instead, I promised her I'd be back in a flash, but I knew she didn't believe me. I'll make it up to you, Lu. I promise. This whole frank embezzlement crisis will be over soon and then I can focus on you. It was already 7pm and while waiting for the light to turn green, I decided to call her, worried some other drunk playboy billionaire might be hitting on her at grandfather’s party. "Lu? Are

R.E.S.P.E.C.T April 22, 2009 Lucille I was dying to kiss him. Looking into his eyes, a part of me wanted to give in, while the other part of me, who was holding on to the trauma of being cheated on, kept blowing the "you're being a sluty idiot again" whistle. With our lips only inches apart, I closed my eyes and moved my head forward, surrendering to the pleasure I knew our kiss would bring. But my eyes flew wide open when my lips smacked on his palm as Jasper pushed my face away with his big hand shouting, "No. No. No. No, Lu. I won't allow you to use my body for sex again." "What?!" I glared at him, moving back to the other side of the couch.

Not Again. April 23, 2009 Boo "I DON'T CARE WHAT IT TAKES OR HOW MUCH! FIND THEM!" I said, my voice raised from frustration. It was midnight but I called three of my private investigators and Janice to my office. It's been almost six hours since I got the threatening message, but Lucille's phone is still out of coverage. Shivers ran down my spine every time it crossed my mind that she could be in danger. I even worried about Jasper being dragged in all of this. Detective Mayers said he was going to do his best, but I couldn’t sit around and do nothing because my panic attacks would go out of control. I shook my head forcing the image of Daisy’s ghost out of my mind. "Sir. I think I've got something. Jasper used his credit card at JFK for two tickets to

Two old Friends Talking Again April 23, 2009 Jasper "Here, dear, have some bacon and eggs. Do you want coffee or juice?" Lucille's mom said, putting a heap of bacon and two sunny side ups on my plate. "Thank you, ma'am. Coffee is fine. Thanks." I smiled at her and began eating. I noticed how Lucille had her mom's eyes and smile, but the rest of her face she got from her dad. Lucille sat between Boo and me. She was eating quietly and avoiding eye contact with the both of us. Boo and I on the other hand, kept glaring at each other whenever we had the chance. The truth was, I wanted to knock the daylight out of him for ruining my plans with Lucille.

All’s Fair in Love and War April 23, 2009 Lucille The farm looked even more amazing than the last time I saw it months ago. I closed my eyes and inhaled the fresh air around me. The sun kissing my skin and the wind blowing softly, made everything perfect. But of course grandpa’s loud voice broke the spell. I opened my eyes and looked their way. “Okay losers, are you ready to know what I plan to do with you?” “Yes, sir!” the two of them shouted in unison. Who do they think they are? Soldiers? “Papa Joe, what are you gonna make them do? Please don’t embarrass me.” I whisp

Challenge Accepted April 23, 2009 Boo I chewed my steak for less than five seconds and swallowed. I was eating like someone was chasing me. Never in my privileged life had I been so hungry and tired at the same time. And it was still the first challenge. It’s not like I was complaining, I mean, I work out in my gym, but not under the burning sun dehydrating me. Lucille smiled at me as she poured some cold apple juice in my glass. Even though exhaustion made me want to lie on the ground and sleep, I couldn't help but admit this was the most fun I've had in a really long time. There was a fleeting moment while running around from apple tree to apple tree that I remembered chasing Daisy in a vineyard once when we were in France. It was owned by one of my friends from college.

A Serenade To You April 23, 2009 Jasper I was alone in the backyard of the farmhouse checking my messages when Trisha, Lucille's friend, suddenly came out of nowhere. "You know, I've read about you in magazines and on the internet. So, you're really not a playboy anymore? coz I'm really really flexible, if you know what I mean." Trisha winked and then she raised her left leg up to her head. My eyes widened with amazement, but I told her I was a changed man because of Lucille. " Well, if she doesn't choose you in the end, you know where to find me." "Well, that's nice. Uhm I have to go find Lucille now so catch you later." I l

Epilogue Jasper I backed her up against the kitchen wall and held her chin up to look at me. Her ragged breaths told me she wanted me just as badly. I tasted the tint of oranges from her lips and it reminded me of our first kiss. It was six in the morning when I woke up and she wasn't beside me. I found the kids still sleeping in their nursery and figured Lu was probably preparing breakfast. "If you wanna fuck me, do it now before the little cockblockers wake up." "Shhh I'm still admiring your beauty. This is all mine, you hear me?" I said as I let the straps of her nightgown fall off her shoulders. "Yes, boss." L

Epilogue 2011 Boo The early morning snow made everything outside look like a picture on a Christmas card. I've always hated Christmas ever since Daisy died. But now looking at Nora, DJ and Jessie decorating the huge tree in the living room of our new mansion, I realized it was my favorite holiday again. "Daddy! I need you to lift me up so I can put the star. Please?" DJ called me and interrupted my thoughts. The nine foot tree colourfully glowed, making me miss grandpa who always loved Christmas trees. "Ok, baby. Come here." I held her by the waist and hoisted her up. "Boy, you're getting heavy." "Done." DJ beamed. I put her do

Epilogue 2012 Lucille “Jasper! Get your son out of that mud pit right away!” I shouted as little Aspen kept jumping up and down, splashing mud all over his clothes and face. “He won’t listen to me, Lu. He’s the boss!” Jasper tried pulling Aspen but he sat on the ground. “I’ll show you who’s the Boss. Come here you two!” I shouted at them while I ran. “Ahhhh run Aspen, run! Mommy Monster is coming to eat us.” Jasper and Aspen ran toward the mansion and I shouted for them to stop before they brought mud all over the house. But of course I was too late. Mud was all over the floor. After our two months honeymoon, Jasp

Mr and Mrs Lauder June 5, 2009 Lucille They say true love is something that a few people find once in their lifetime. I was one of the lucky ones. As I danced with my gorgeous billionaire husband, who would walk through fire for me, my heart overfilled with joy. I rested my head on his chest and inhaled his intoxicating perfume. The band played Unforgettable by Nat KingCole and Jasper and I held each other close. “I love you so much, Lu.” “I love you so much, Jas. I can’t believe you planned all these without telling me. Or without me finding out.” “It’s easy when

The Photoshoot June 5, 2009 Lucille Jasper and I drove to a beautiful beach house in the Hamptons for the photoshoot. Two days ago, Steph and Jade came with me to the fitting and they said I looked beautiful. I felt beautiful. The dress was every girl’s dream come true. It showed all the right curves and was just the right amount of puffy. The lace work and real diamonds were to die for. “We're here.” Jasper said, parking the car in a big mansion. “Grandfather’s grandfather helped build this with his own hands. “Wow. That’s amazing. It’s beautiful, Jas.” I got out of the car as he opened the door for me. Ever since that bleeding episode, he has been treating

Why?” “Have you ever been in love before?” Nora looked at me and didn’t say anything. I was about to ask her again when she suddenly said, “Yes. To a man way older than me. He was a nurse who voluntered at the orphanage. And one day, the day before I turned sixteen, he raped me. I’ve never trusted any man ever since.” “I’m sorry to hear that. Th

It’s a Sign June 1, 2009 Boo Having finished all my work before lunch, I called Nora to come by and bring some food. I gave her one of the company credit cards to spend on anything she wants. So far the record shows she only used it to buy lingeries and our lunch. My phone rang and I cancelled the call once I saw it was Jasper. I was ashamed of my outburst, but I also wasn't ready to apologize. Lucille left me a long email explaining how much she loves me and cares for me, but only as a friend and as part of the family. She told me to find my own happiness even if it meant it was Nora whom she still didn't trust. If the baby is yours, Boo I promise we will tell him/her the truth. Please don't be mad anymore.

A Good Day May 30, 2009 Lucille Dr. Steward put me on bed rest for two days after I got released from the hospital. Jasper and I thought it was better if we stayed in my apartment for a while to avoid Boo, who had been ignoring our chats and calls. “Honey? You okay, Lulu bear?” Grandpa Joe peeked his head through my bedroom. “Come in pops.” I grinned from ear to ear. “What’s up?” “Oh nothing. I only wanted to talk to you before we left for the airport. I’m happy to see you so happy, Lu. You deserve all the best things in life.” “But grandpa, I’ve hurt Boo so much. I sh

Eleanor May 30, 2009 Boo I called her after I left the hospital in a fit of rage and told her to meet me in the same hotel we were before. The bottle of whiskey was empty by the time she arrived an hour later. Nora looked at me with pity in her eyes and I wanted to laugh. I wanted to cry. I hated the nagging ache that drummed with every heartbeat. I hated Lucille and Jasper. “Are you okay?” “I know everything about you. Why didn’t you just tell me what you needed the money for?” “Coz I don’t want to be somebody’s charity case. I can manage on my own.” “By trying to fuck your w
