Ivanna

"I love Christian. I love my husband and this is enough for me not to divorce him"

I said it. I just said it out of nowhere. Even a second ago, I didn't know what I was going to say but my heart spoke out. It stood up for the feeling I was resisting for months.

It only tells the truth.

I love him so much. So damn much that it stings when I think of him going away from me.

Adrian keeps staring at me with no reaction in his eyes. Until now, I respected his feelings but now I won't. Why should I respect his feelings when he can't respect mine? He keeps insulting my marriage. He keeps insulting Christian and I'm definitely not so kind as to let it go.

"But you might need more reasons. Right? Then hear me out," I groan.  "This marriage is not an adjustment. It's my choice. I'm not forced to stay in this marriage but I want to. It's my decision. And you should keep your fucking assumptions to y

    ChristianMy head feels better now and I think of making a call to Ivanna. She must have cried a lot after I left. After I'm done venting out all my frustration to Kane, my brain starts functioning properly and I realise what a big blunder I have created. I shouted at her for no reason and ill-behaved with her. That's so damn mean of me. I dial her number and it rings. It keeps ringing and she doesn't pick up. "Darn it!" I shrug. "What happened?" Kane asks. "She's not picking up my call. Must be too mad at me," I scoff. "But she messaged me a while ago"I get a bit confused. If she was apologising to me just an hour ago, how can she not pick up my call? It gets me worried and I make a call to Mrs Fisher."You should have done something about Adrian first," Kane scoffs. "Ivanna still doesn't know his reality"Anger settles down in my veins again with that bastard's name."I'll definitely handle that bastard. He doesn't know

    Kane What's wrong with Emily? I call her again and again but she doesn't pick up. She has been quite cold with me after that day. We didn't talk properly, except for work. Even though I didn't like it, I had to accept that behaviour. Definitely, no one likes to be rejected indirectly. Only if it was not about Ivanna, I would let it go and not disturb her with a bunch of calls. I believe she also doesn't know anything about Ivanna's disappearance. Otherwise, she would be the one to contact us first. I reach her apartment and ring the doorbell. I hear her footsteps at the door. But she doesn't open it for a long thirty seconds. "Emily, you know it's me. Can you please open the door? It's important," I shrug. Just then, I hear the knob twisting. She opens the door with a grumpy look and she's in a completely different look with an oversized top and shorts, messy hairs spread all over her face. I should not be noticing her in such det

    Christian"Mr Scott, I'll suggest you get back home. It's a missing case and sometimes— well, most of the time, it's not possible to find out the missing one in a few hours. You should go home until we look for Mrs Scott," the senior officer says confidently until I look back at him. Nervous enough, he puts his gaze down and sighs, realising he shouldn't be saying such a thing I'm never gonna do. I'm not among those who just file a missing complaint and sleep peacefully at home for days. I love that woman more than my life. "I'm not getting back home without her. Do you get that?" I seeth. "You don't need to give me such foolish advice""Christian!" Kane arrives back on the highway along with Emily. It's enough for me to know that Ivanna didn't go to Emily's place either. Where are you hiding, Iv? I know you always hide yourself when you don't wanna face anyone. But it's being too

    ChristianMy mind can't get off the flashes of bruises on Ivanna's skin. It has been keeping me anxious from the moment I saw those marks. For heaven's sake, I never held her even a bit roughly and that fucker could dare to have that guts of not only touching her but hurting her. While roaming silently outside the hospital's cabin, I strive to calm down as much as I can. Nonetheless, each time I look through the window, I can't help panicking inside. It's been a while since I brought her to the hospital. She was just released from the hospital a few days ago!I can't believe in less than a month she had to go through some crap again."Christian," Kane appears there, glancing at the window for once. "Is the doctor still checking up?""Yeah. I don't know why it's taking so long," I say out of frustration and look back at him. "Where's that jerk?""Getting treated before he's put into th

    ChristianMy heart aches. I never like it when she pushes herself away from me when she's hurt and broken. If she was angry, it would be a different thing. I want to hold her and hug her tightly right now— only if she allows me to. She squirms against the headboard, keeping her gaze down."What happened, Iv? Tell me what's going on inside you. You know I can't tolerate your silence", I urge. I wait. For seconds.Minutes.However, she doesn't utter a single word. It scares the hell out of me. I don't know what affected her so much. The incident or the misconception. I can't figure out anything. "You're scaring me now", I whisper, leaning closer to her. And after waking up, this is the first time she lifts her eyes and looks at me. Our eyes meet— deeply.Her eyes are blood—red, filled with agony. She stares at me without reacti

    Colton"Make sure you don't disappear again, Colton", Kane gasps as we take sips from the coffee in the living room. "I'll make sure, young master. My apologies", I say and peek back at the main door again.A few minutes ago, I saw Irene rushing towards the door. She was upset and calm the entire time from her apartment to here. Even I taunted her so much the entire way and she chose to be silent— that was definitely not something I was expecting."Colton, I think your mind is somewhere else", Kane shrugs as I immediately turn back to him, clearing my throat. He frowns at me. "No. I was just—""You still didn't tell me where you have been"I don't reply. I don't know why I'm unable to tell them that Irene is behind all this.What the hell am I doing? Hiding things from my bosses is equal to disloyalty. "And how did you end up meeting Irene?" Emily says, breaking her silence, suspicion visible in her tone. "Actually, there wa

I didn't know I consume her sanity even when she sleeps.Or else, I heard it wrong.I keep staring at her, rubbing my thumb softly at the corner of her lips.Her lips!My breathing gets faster as I stare down at those fluffy pinkish lips.What the fuck is happening to me?I just like her.That's it.But—Her lips slightly twitch into a small smile as I keep rubbing her skin.That goddamn smile!I lean a bit closer to her ear, controlling my urge to taste those smoking hot lips."What are you doing to me, Miss chatterbox?"

    Christian Her sweet voice, mixed with intensity and innocence echoes inside my head again and again— just like a sweet melody. My chest fills with ecstasy and pleasure with her confession. She keeps her eyes on mine as a precious drop of tear escapes her eyes. I lean closer to her, grinding her fragile body against mine and softly suck her tears. "Say it again", I whisper. "I love you, Chris", she mumbles, her cosy breath scuffles my skin. I gently remove the strands of hair from her gorgeous face which has swollen so much. She closes her eyes with my knuckles travelling on her cheeks. "Again", I murmur, intensely staring at her appealing face. "I— love you", she sucks her breath, parting her eyelids and darting her eyes straight at me. "I really really love you" It feels like the dreams I used to have every night. I used to dream of her confessing her love t

    JohnGetting married in the 50s isn't that strange anymore. But for me, it was— for a man who believed his marriage would last forever and then believed he would never marry again. I stood before the mirror as Ryan helped other groomsmen with their last fit."You all look pretty handsome. Ready to leave. But I wish Kevin had that time to get a good fit. Your suit sucks!""I feel better anyway", Kevin snarls. I chuckle while fixing my bow tie, watching my sons in their 20s still fighting like toddlers. It's been a blessing for me to have a family which didn't break even after the biggest disaster. And maybe it was because, in our family, it had always been us. Me and my two boys. Their mother wasn't there. The death was just a formality. I didn't really change that much. My boys were happier than ever after she died. It's really mean of me to think that way but it was the truth. They were traumatised because they were kids. As they grew up, I realised they had a better and healthier

However, I have delayed letting you know that I'm writing a book on Samuel and Chrisanna titled "Dispute Marriage" You'll find it on my goodnovel profile. This book is a bit different from others which don't have a forced marriage trope or any abusive family since you are already familiar with both families.The story revolves around two childhood friends Samuel and Chrisanna and their sudden marriage after Samuel disappears from Chrisanna's life for eight years. The book deals with heavy mental issues and a dark past. Slow burn. Please give that book a try and let me know if you like it. And I would like to know if you would want a short portion of John and Georgia's story or a direct epilogue to close the book.

    Tiffany Emery runs to Sebastian. "Da—dy"And he immediately drives his eyes down and takes her in his arms. They both look at me lovingly. Now, I don't feel bad about pushing the wedding. This feeling would not be the same if we got married before Emery came. Ryan and Kevin walk beside me to the aisle. I wanted them to do this honour because if there's anyone in this world I still love more than Sebastian and Emery, My eyes become teary as I walk to them. Sebastian spreads his arm at me and I immediately dig into his chest.He leans closer to my ear."My beautiful bride"I smile against his chest and look up. He takes my hand and leads me to the centre.

    TiffanyI can't figure out how to react and what it's all about because I don't wanna assume anything unreasonable. He's on his knees with a damn ring.It means— God! I can't— comprehend it. My eyes flutter open at his handsome face. No words come out of my mouth. I'm at a loss of words."I know you're shocked! And I'm sorry if I scared you with this sudden—" he doesn't complete, yet keeps his eyes straight into mine. "But I couldn't keep this longer inside me, Tiffany. I had known a long time ago that I needed you in my life. Forever! And I'm not scared to ask you that—"With that pause, my heartbeat stops and my entire body shivers when I wait for him to complete."Will you marry me?" I feel goosebumps littering all over me with those words. Did he really ask me for marriage? It takes me a while to process. His eyes are full of fear and hope and I'm left in shock. Never in my wildest dreams, I had imagined he would propose to me. I hear some people around cheering up and root

    TiffanyTime indeed flies like air and it happened in my case in a better way. In the best way, actually. I started my job in the daycare centre with all the lovely kids around which made my life less monotonous after Ryan and Kevin left. They are doing good in their new school and John has also settled into his new office over there. I and Sebastian balanced our life beautifully, supporting each other. As days and weeks passed, our love grew stronger. Among everything, I was happy with the fact that I have my identity now. A good identity. My salary doubled in just three months after joining for my good service and the way all the kids related to me. In a year, I was promoted to manager of the daycare centre, life couldn't be any less beautiful. It's been two years, I and Sebastian are together and we are living our best life. We hardly argued and most of the time it was just silly. He loves to tease me and I go along with it. Sebastian has become the most demanding lawyer in the

    TiffanyWe spent the last two days painting the house and I can't describe how beautiful it came out. We did some changes like replacing the furniture and donating some. If everything goes well, I'll be here in less than three days.John has finished all the preparations in Hong Kong and he's leaving the day after we decided to move in. It all happened so fast but I'm glad that John is recovering. It's been eight months since the tragedy and I know it's gonna take years for him to overcome this. I'm happy for him but I would be happier if there was any chance that he finds someone to love him as much as all of us found a person to love.It sucks and I hate the fact that all his life he never found someone like that.I and Sebastian carry the portrayal I had in my room for years. It's a huge one and Sebastian suggested we should place it in the living room because it's beautiful.

    Sebastian"Really, Sebastian? I have never seen you this excited before", Georgia says as I show her some themes I'm confused with and I end up telling her the whole plan. "Isn't it something to be excited about?" I blurt out. "She's moving in with me. Isn't it amazing? People can't even go past dating and we are really moving in!" I tell her and she smiles wider, sitting in front of my desk."That's true", she says. "I'm just wondering what you would do once you guys announce the marriage!" she laughs but on a serious note, it makes my heart stop for a while.She pauses, looking at me. "Sorry. I should not have said that?"I chuckle. "Nah! Nothing like that. I just spaced out when you talked about marriage""Ah! So, that means you're thinking about it", she leans to the desk. I scratch the back of my head with an awkward smile. "I could marry her the moment I saw her! But hell! I'm not repeating any mistakes from the past. Maybe, I'll wait for a while before proposing to her. And t

    Tiffany We stop by the nursery. It's one of the biggest nurseries in the city which I can completely believe by the way it looks. The boys run into the green surrounding and I and Sebastian slowly walk to see the plants. One of the workers accompany us, showing us all the kinds of plants we could use for decor. "I want the real ones", he says as I scan those plants which need no sunlight. They would be perfect for indoors."These are real ones too. These are just indoors", I say, watching his expression change. "But I still don't find the realness in them. You can take these. I'll look for others", he walks away to find his REAL plants as I shake my head at him in disbelief.We load all the plants we have got for the decor and Ryan and Kevin took two small ones to plant in the yard. Even though they won't be staying here, they wish to see it all grown up when they would occasionally visit. After that, we stop by a restaurant to have lunch.

Nonetheless, it'll come with more challenges and I'm ready for it. This decision will not only make our relationship stronger but also give me a world of my own. I can't wait to finally live my life in my own conditions and happiness. Sebastian asked me if he could help me anyway. But I refused to take any help from him as I did with John. It's my call to explore and look for opportunities which I'll be doing from today. I'm thinking about having a conversation with John again. I want him to change his decision of holding back until I settle down. Because that's impossible.
