LeoThey came in laughing, both of them looking like newlyweds who couldn't get enough of each other, and there was a necklace on her neck. It seemed like they had gone shopping."Mummy" Nathan, who had spent the past couple of hours dragging me onto one, ride after another, said and rushed to his ever-so-shining mother."Sweetheart, you're back. Did you have a nice time?""Yes, Uncle Leo bought me chocolates and ice cream and sweets, and we climbed different rides. See he bought me this toy."She placed her hands on his hair and ruffled it before walking both Nathan and Henry to where I sat in the lobby. "So sorry to have kept you waiting", she said."No, it's nothing. Trust you had a good time too", I stared at the necklace and somehow made her nervous."Yes, I... We should be on our way then.""Sure, I'll just check out of the hotel."He walked towards the receptionist, and I was left alone with the two of them. Nathan came to sit beside me, and he placed his hands on my thigh while

Ariadne Turns out the guy was the girl's ex-boyfriend and had tried to harass her because he couldn't understand why she would want to break up with him."Men," the lady who was heavily pregnant said with a nod, and we watched the police take care of the rest.After that, we found ourselves in a drinks café, mostly because the other lady couldn't drink alcohol."Are you okay?" I asked, much unlike me, and she nodded."Thank you... For catching... Me,"Seems like she had forgotten she was arguing over her reservations earlier."You are welcome.""What would you like to have?" The waiter asked and I shook my head."I'm good, though I would like a packaged red velvet cake to go."My dessert from the restaurant had sadly been crushed by the incident and I needed my sugar."Okay, ma'am,""I would like a smoothie.""Okay, ma'am."The lady left and we stared at each other."So... You're an actress, right?""I thought you did your research already.""Yes, but you know...""Are you being this

LeoIt was more of an avenue now, to see Layla and spend more time around her. I smiled as the little man sighted me and hurried to hug me, "Daddy."His teacher was standing by her desk and had a smile on her cheeks, "Mr Cooper, right?""Yes.""Mr. Henry made a list of people who can come to pick him up, and it's just him, Miss Carter, and you.""Okay.""I'll take him then.""Sure sir."I wore his backpack for him and we left the private school."Where are we going?" Cute Nathan asked."To get you some treats, what do you say?""Yay. Will mummy be there?""I'll call her, so she can meet us there," I replied.He bopped in his seat and I smiled to myself. It was like he had this matchmaking spirit and wanted to join me and his mother together.I didn't mind, of course.The happenings of the other day popped into my head and the smell of chocolate and flour which she had reeked off yesterday stayed etched in my memory.We got to the café after a while and I got him a chocolate sundae. He

SofiaI couldn't concentrate in class, mostly because of the subject being taught. History was my least favorite subject and I detested it.Apart from that, Eugene was also beside me making some funny faces and that made me laugh silently."You're being silly" I whispered."Whatever." He winked at me."Eugene and Sofia, would you please tell the class what I said about the Second World War." The teacher called on you and I swallowed hard. I wasn't even listening to what she had been saying since.The class finished a few minutes later with I and Eugene having humiliated ourselves and I glared at him playfully, "You caused that.""What do you mean? You were the one who was talking loudly." He countered.I stopped by my locker and grabbed the textbooks for the next class."You just wouldn't admit it, would you?"He rolled his eyes."Come with me" he suddenly said

AriadneBeing an actress wasn't an easy job and I didn't know that till I got into the industry. Of course, my parents had helped me, but I could say it was my talent that kept me in the industry."Here." Jeremy handed me a bottle of water once we were done with the allotted scenes for that day.The male lead came to meet me, "You did a good job today.""You too." I smiled warmly."Want to have dinner with—""I'm preoccupied for the rest of today." I cut him off immediately."Then...""I'm also busy for the rest of the week and other weeks to come. What I'm saying, Michael, is that I won't go out with you."I walked out to the car and Jeremy hurried behind me carrying the load of things that were my essentials for any shooting day."My phone," I asked when we were in the car.He handed it to me."Any missed calls""No.""I heard it will soon be Mr a

LaylaI was sketching a country-style summer skirt on my desktop when the doorbell rang, and I went to open it.I gasped at the huge bouquet that greeted me, "what?"Henry's face popped into view from behind them, "Henry?"He shifted the bouquet to one side and hugged me before handing it over to me, "Wow, they're so pretty.""Just as you are.""What's the occasion though?" I asked, blushing at his statement."Nothing, must there be an occasion to give the woman of my heart flowers.""Stop, did you learn how to woo a woman during your business trip?"He smiled, "how have you been?""Great" I replied."And Nathan?""He's still at school.""You look pretty, by the way."I was literally in a loose shirt with shorts underneath and my hair in a bun. No way I looked so pretty."Thank you," I muttered.He smiled and followed me to my stud

LeoI was still angry. I couldn't believe she had dropped Nathan off with me just to go out on a date with Henry. Like, why would she do that?I felt slighted and annoyed and jealous. She had been so nonchalant about it too, but if we looked at it, I had no right to get angry either.I sighed and ruffled through my hair, grabbing the documents that sat on my desk."Hello... Honey!" I groaned when the familiar yet annoying voice of Ariadne filled my office."What are you doing here?""Seeing you, I came the other day and your secretary said you were busy.""I'm just as busy now, so if you'll excuse me."I stood up from my chair and tried to walk past her."Do you know your parents' anniversary is right around the corner?""Of course I know, they're my parents.""Well, Nana said we'd be going to the party together so....""And you think that?""Of course, why

LaylaThe day of the anniversary came, and I stood in my closet undecided about what to wear. Leo hadn't said if there was a theme or particular color to wear, and I wasn't sure what to wear to the anniversary party.Maybe something formal but not too formal.Another maxi dress?I looked through the collection of maxi dresses I had, most of them from my brand, and decided on a black one yet again.Black made one look mysterious while still staying classy and charming and I loved to stay in the background. A bright red dress or any other bright-colored cloth wouldn't help with that, so I picked up the black maxi dress I had decided on and placed it on the bed.It was armless this time, having a corset type of style for the upper body, while the rest of the dress was free around the legs with the split stopping at my thigh yet again.I took out another black leather purse from my brand's collection and paired it

8–9 months laterAriandeI was already having contractions, and it was obvious I was going to go into labor soon. It was great I was with Layla though, and I tried to call for her. A yelp escaped my mouth as the contraction hit me harder."Oh my God, Ariande, are you okay?" Layla entered into the living room where I was, dropping the glass of water she had gone to bring, and she took out her phone to call Tony.He arrived sooner than we both expected, and he helped me into his car with Layla, who was pretty heavy too. She was to be due in a few days or a week from mine, and we'd both be free of mood swings and erratic hormones. Then she followed us to the hospital where I went into proper labor and gave birth to my girls a few hours later.I could tell from the minute that Tony walked in after my labor that he had gone through a lot of anxiety and I collected the baby when the nurse placed her in my arms, "Oh my God, Ariande, I'm so grateful for this, thank you for bringing her into t

AriandeIt was so great seeing these two get married, and I think I had seen Tony staring at me intently during the vow saying, I wouldn't be sure what that meant though.I loved the wedding reception even more, and it started off to a great start with some good music which me and the girls had gone through, including Layla and some good champagne. Other alcohols of different types were being passed around too, and soda for those who wouldn't want alcohol. There was great food and the couple when they finally entered.The song we had chosen for them to dance to upon entering started, and I have to say Leo gave his best more than Layla. It seemed like she was rather shy about dancing in public.Games were played and a lot of activities were thrown out. When the most awaited moment arrived, the throwing of the bouquet, I was in the front row because I wanted to get the bouquet and I got it.I squealed happily, "wow, I got it."Everyone smiled happily, and we waved the couple off to have

LaylaWedding preparations went on in full swing by the time we came back and as Nana, Leo's grandmother, liked hosting parties, she was the one that took control of the entire thing. She did seek my permission on some things and I answered as best as I could.Hannah was so happy for me, so also Mr and Mrs Cooper, and they very much petted me like I was their new doberman.Ariande drew me to a fitting shop days before the wedding, and I was surprised to see the other ladies "were just here to give our opinions."I was happy that they were all rallying around me, but it was just making me more nervous. I looked through the variety of gowns they had and picked one, "Go try it on."I walked into the dressing room with Ariande to help, and I had to admit we had become pretty much closer.I came out to the sight of the other ladies, and they were like hmm, hmm, I felt like that too, it wasn't really giving. It was nice though, like an off-shoulder gown with a full train and veil too. I fel

LaylaBy our fourth day there, the grill was out with the game night preparations being underway, and I helped as much as I could with the preparations. For one, I was feeling quite dizzy and nauseous and I did have an idea of what it might be, but I wasn't sure though, so I didn't want to make a big deal out of it.Tony and Leo helped set the lights on the beach and the chairs were set out around a fireplace in the middle. The beers were placed by the side and someone was to be manning the grill while everyone ate; Tony and Leo, of course. Kai offered, but the boys turned it down, and we all faced Kim."So what are the games we are going to be playing?""Okay, so I prepared quite a number of games, but the two most interesting ones would be never have I ever and two truths and a lie.""Oh, Kim" Ariande commented, making all of us laugh."So here are the rules for 'never have I ever'. Actually, it has just one rule. Everyone gets a turn to say 'never have I ever' and if you've done it

Ariande"Something fun, what would you consider something fun". The girls and I were sitting on the kitchen island pondering on what was fun, as the guys had gone off to God knows where."Well, we could go clubbing," Kim suggested, to which I agreed, though I wasn't sure I could drink with my pregnancy. Actually, I couldn't."We could also have a game night, just sit out on the beach and have some drinks too while we play some games,""I agree too," Layla said in agreement to Kai's suggestion."Well, we could go shopping. That would be for the girls, but the guys could also tag along if they want to."We all nodded in agreement, planning the whole thing and I and Layla offered to go buy the groceries for the day we would be there.It would be nice to just bake and cook for everyone. I learned there was a grill too."So have you decided on anything?" Layla asked as we drove to the mall."Yes, I decided to tell him first before I made any decision. I'll tell him probably a day or two fr

AriandeI was feeling quite funny and that was not good. I couldn't fall sick during production and at a crucial moment like this. I smiled happy when I saw my daily dose of bouquet delivered to my dressing room on set."He's just being so open now, isn't he?"Jeremy smiled, unsure of what to say."So how is your relationship with my brother?""Uhm... Actually I was going to say something about that. You're going on your break soon, right? I was wondering if I could take some days off then?"I cocked my head, "are both of you going on a vacation or trip?"He nodded slightly, "I could be back quickly if you want me to or cancel but...""It's okay, you can go. I'll manage on my own.""Really?"I nodded. As it was going to be my break soon, I wouldn't be having any shoots or production during that time because I would want some peace and quiet and, since I wouldn't be doing much then, it wouldn't be fair of me to rip his vacation from him.I called Tony when I was done with the scenes fo

LaylaThe designs were created within weeks and the collections were out together for another week. I looked through the portfolios of models that had been placed on my table and decided on the ones that we were going to use for the fashion show and campaign too.Amanda and Henry came in from New York to help with the process and a date was given for the fashion show. As for the campaign, I supervised the photo shoot and video shoot of the collections, and it was posted on both the models and CARTER'S official website as well as social media handles.I was going through one of the documents when my secretary came in, "this young lady...""Aunt Layla!" I looked up from the document to see Sofia rush in, and she was looking all bubbly and happy. I signaled the secretary that it was okay, and I gave her a big hug."Hey girlie, how have you been?"She smiled, "good""I heard you were in trouble" she smiled again, but this time more mischievous."It wasn't my fault that somebody wanted to

KaiI wasn't sure what to expect as I walked into the family house with Leo and Layla, and I was definitely surprised at the number of people that were there.Isn't that the famous actress, Ariande? And Leo's friend Tony, who were the couple that were looking about the same age as Leo's parents in a corner there too? There was also a grandma and grandpa too. Guess I had a lot of family."Leo honey" The Grandma greeted him, pecking him on the cheek, and he greeted her back. The woman also greeted Layla and a younger woman came to greet both of them too. Grandma stared at me, "and you're...""Oh you must be Kai, right?" The younger woman said, making me guess that she was Mrs Cooper, and I nodded."It's nice to meet you""Nice to meet you too", I shook her outstretched hand."This is Park Woojin, also Kai, Steve's daughter". Grandma looked confused."Steve didn't tell me about having a daughter.""Kai, meet Nana, your step grandmother and your step grandfather over there too."I greeted

Ariande"You still haven't figured out who is sending you the flowers yet?" Tony asked as I sat on the island in his kitchen. He had a bowl in his hand as he mixed chicken with mashed potatoes and I shook my head."No. I plan to use a private investigator though, because it could be a stalker and..."He nodded and smiled, "I understand.""Why did you invite me for dinner though?" I asked, surprised, since I hadn't been to his house since the last time I was drunk.He has only ever come to my house since our altercation and had sex with me. Nothing else, no dinner, no nothing, not even a drink, so what had changed that?"I just needed company to eat with today.""Oh" I felt honored even though I shouldn't, and I watched him intently as he started frying the mixture together on a bone stick.It was crazy just how much he had invaded my head. It was like I couldn't think of anything else but him and I deserved it because it had been the other way around. I had manipulated him at first, p
