Mummy was back and looking quite better than when she left. I picked her up from the airport where she had landed about two minutes ago, and she seemed happy to see me.

"Mum..."I hurried to her side and hugged her passionately.

"I thought you weren't going to come back."

"What? Why? Why would you think that?"

I shrugged when we pulled apart, "you must have felt really hurt at the betrayal and probably didn't want to be around him again"

"I still love him though, and I'm willing to give him a second chance."

"Really?"

She nodded and I smiled.

We got into my car in the parking lot and started the ride home to the house. "What have you been up to?" She asked.

"Nothing much, just business and that's all."

"What of that lady?"

"Who?" I knew who she was talking about, of course.

"The lady you brought to dinner, Layla or..."

"Yeah Layla, she's good."

"I noticed the way you were looking at her throughout the dinner. You can lie to yourself, but you can't lie to me that you love her."

    KaiThe painting looked familiar. The more I painted it, the more I realized who I was drawing and I dropped the paintbrush. "Sh*t"My phone buzzed, drawing my attention to where it stood on the table, and I went to pick it up, but not before cleaning my hands."Woojin""Mrs Xiao""How have you been?"It was no surprise that my therapist was calling only after a few weeks of arriving, and I walked to the living room. We had promised to call each other from time to time."Good and you?""Good too. Just called to check up on you""I know, I'm fine really.""Have you found anyone yet?"I shook my head even though she wasn't there, "no, not yet.""Oh."I had promised to find someone to date after a lot of our sessions together, but LGBT had not been a favorite topic of the people in Asia."Have you contacted your mum yet?""I would if I knew where she was.""What about your dad?""I haven't found the courage to go meet him yet. All I have is a diary that states that he's my father""But s

    AriandeThe shoot was over.Finally,After almost a year of filming constantly for days and weeks, the two seasons of the film we were acting were done and on their way to being released.The production had wanted to release it at once, so, the whole season was going to be released together.I clinked my glasses to that of the male lead when we sat at the club. It was kind of a private club for most actors and directors and the crew had been invited too. To celebrate the finishing."I'm sure this movie is going to be a hit", the director said,"Yes, we have our popular actress, Ariande."I smiled at the happy crew and the drinks kept on coming until almost everyone was passed out. I picked up my phone to call someone when we were done. Jeremy had gone home because the club was mostly meant for actors and actresses, no managers or secretaries, and I hadn't seen the reason for him to hang around.I called a number without thinking, and he answered a few minutes later, "Ariande?"He must

    LaylaI paid a visit to Hannah the next day because I felt like I hadn't seen her in ages, and she looked better when I got there. "What's going on? You look better than I did when I was taking care of Nathan.""Well, I've been getting help from Georgina and I met with Mrs Cooper.""Really? How was it?""She's taking it better than I would if my husband cheated on me and, what more, she met us together at a park taking care of Peter. Turns out she had seen us when we entered the park while her son was taking her back to the family house""Crazy""How is Nathan?""Good, I actually came to talk to you about that too... I found his dad...""What? Really?""Yeah, turns out it was Leo all this while.""Wow, that's crazy."She wasn't really as surprised as I had expected, and she shrugged when I stared at her, "it was quite obvious from the way they looked so similar, and he kept on asking questions about who you met and where. I guess he was having suspicions too. So how did you find out?"

    LaylaNathan's birthday came around and it was a very bright morning. I allowed him to sleep in as it was a Saturday and when he did wake up, Leo was around to greet him, "hey buddy""Daddy"My heart moved at the word and how happy he was to say it and I saw the emotion in Leo's eyes too. He heaved him up, turning him around in a circle, and they both laughed when he placed him down again."Happy birthday Nathan""You too, Daddy.""What?" We both chuckled."It's not my birthday yet, today is specifically for you and it's the day you were brought into this world. We have your mom to thank for that.""Thank you mummy", I smiled and continued with the breakfast I was making. Mostly cereal for him and bread and bacon for us.He sat down to eat it and when he was done, Leo helped with getting him ready. We were to go to the family house, then the venue as the party would be starting soon.I liked the fact that there was going to be a children's section and an adult section of the party. Th

    LeoI received an email the next day stating that another emergency shareholder meeting had been set for the review of Ethan's bad works and position and I relayed the message to Layla when she entered the kitchen."That's good. It'll be nice to see him lose everything that he stole from me."I placed the omelet I had fried in front of her and waited for the water to boil before making hot tea for us. I set out the bread and sat down by the island too, before eating with her."That's right..." She suddenly said, "... Ariande said something about Chloe telling her that I stole Ethan from her. I don't know what she's driving at, but she could be influencing Ariande negatively.""You mean your ex-husband's wife?""Yes.""Well, there's nothing we can really do. We can't tell her who to be with or what to believe, she'll just have to find it out herself."We did the dishes together when we were done and sat down in the living room to watch a movie together. That was when Nana's call came i

    KaiWe ended up at my house still horny for some sex and I set her on my bed where I fingered her again. Her clothes came off first though, and I got to see the voluptuous figure I had imagined the first time I saw her. Her breasts were full and plump, and I wrapped my lips around them, sucking them gently and then aggressively.This solicited moans from her and I slipped my finger into her once again. She switched out positions once we were done getting on top of me, and she took off my shirt and then my sports bra, which I found more comfortable than a normal bra.She wrapped her lips around mine too, teasing me slowly as I had done her before, and I hissed when she bit gently on my nipples, "you're good at this.""I never said I was straight either."I moaned as she slipped her hands into my pants, and she flicked her finger against my clit down there making me wet almost immediately, not that I wasn't already dripping before.She took off my trousers, and we were both naked soon w

    LaylaThe day of the opening came sooner than expected and Amanda flew in from New York to be with me during the launch. Henry was also with her and some other business associates of mine.The party was going to be held in the store and the lipsticks and skin care products had been arranged in order for any purchase that might take place. I was just happy this was happening."Hey, how are you feeling?" Leo asked as he appeared beside me after one of my conversations with a guest and I nodded, "good""A lot of people turned up""Of course, she's the CEO of the LAYNAT brand and people love the brand". We turned to see Henry walk up to us, and he had a glass of champagne in his hand."Nice to see you Leo" he said, greeting him, and Leo nodded."Same here.""Congratulations on finding your son". That was right, I told him.Leo just nodded, and I moved on to another guest who came to greet me. They also talked to Amanda, and we talked about how to move the company forward."I'll send you t

    LaylaOnly when we were in Paris did I realize that she was going for the fashion shows too, and she put on her sunglasses as we walked out of the airplane. Her secretary appeared from nowhere as some paparazzi approached her, and they walked together to a car that he had prepared.I myself entered a taxi and gave the address of the hotel I was going to the driver. The man started the ride and I relaxed in my seat.At the hotel, I collected my room keys and reviewed the schedule I had for that week. Immediately I settled down. First, some groups of workers and designers are to arrive the next day in order to prepare for our show on the last day of the fashion week. I'm also going to meet a popular designer in France to talk about some of the designs even though they're already done, and we're to do the last rehearsal for the runway a day before the show that day.I picked up my phone when it rang and saw it to be Leo and Nathan as it was a video call, "hey babe""Mummy!"

    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
