Ivanna

While we all were enjoying the beer and Christian left to sleep, I was already getting concerned. I didn't let him know that I had seen Thea's name on the notification. It worried me after I recalled how he reacted to his phone. I kept my calm even though it was freaking me out.

"This Albert is getting on my nerves", Kane slammed his phone aside after reading a text.

"What happened?" Emily asked. "I mean what did he do again?"

"Is he really in talk?" I asked.

"Nah. An asshole is being an asshole. Nothing new with that. We are kind of used to his shit. Just because he's one of the most powerful clients we have to tolerate him", Kane sighed.

"What does he want now?" Emily asks.

"He's going crazy for the New York Fashion Week. It was supposed to be held next week but Christian postponed it to next month. Maybe, because of the surgery. He doesn't seem impressed"

"Screw him!" Emily shrugged and took all the empty bottles. "I need to do the dishes now"

"Wait. You—" Kane strived t

    IvannaWith Christian's shocking statement, I feel the earth sliding away beneath me. I gape at him in disbelief, no words escaping my throat. I find it impossible to believe. Even process. Even accept. I shake my head, being unable to utter something. He keeps his eyes straight on mine. Blood red and swollen. There's anger, frustration, pain— all the mixed emotions that he has been hiding. Mostly anger. I clutch his hand tightly, expecting him to change the statement. But it doesn't happen. "Thea is her mother, Iv", he repeats as if he understands that I'm not believing it. "This is true"My hand slips down from his shoulder. I look down. My eyes keep frozen at the ground, hollow and clueless. The next moment, I cover my mouth in utter realisation.My eyes have popped out, my heart buzzes faster than before and all of a sudden, everything has just changed."I didn't believe it either, Iv", he says. "But this is true. She's not only Chrissie's biological mother but also—", he inhal

    Ivanna"What the hell!" I exclaim, immediately getting off the bed and rushing towards the window to close it. But the wind was so heavy that I struggle to pull them. My body freezes with the chilling wind and snow covering my face. "Back off!" Christian screeches and hauls me behind and he reaches the window. It doesn't take him more than a few seconds to close them. "What was that?" I groan, slightly shivering due to the blow while rubbing my arms. "Snowstorm", Christian says, rubbing his face. "I can see that. But why suddenly?""It has been chilly since last night. But I didn't expect a storm", he sneezes right away as he can't handle the cold even for a second. I turn on the furnace right away and surge to get a sweatshirt down. "What's up with this network?" I hear Christian freaking out. "It's gonna act up from now", I walk towards him near the bed and hand him the sweatshirt. "Put it on before you catch a cold"He puts it on his lap and again gets into the phone. "Why

    EmilyI surge around the office while chaos is going on. The loud noise of current news in the city chimes from the television placed near the reception. More than half of the crew is gathered over there. We just landed back in Texas last night from New York. The weather was acting up since then but I had no clue it would get this worse.Everyone is asked to be in the office until the situation gets back to normal, or at least the roads are safe. I'm panicking over here since I have no clue what the fuck Kane is!I have been calling him ever since I got to know he's not in the office. There was a mini storm in the office itself before we came here. According to some employees, Christian and Ivanna might have argued over something and Ivanna left in a rage. Christian followed. I don't know what they're fighting on right a day before Chrissie's surgery."Come on, Kane!" I shrug as I can't get him on call. The network keeps crashing. But whenever I get a few seconds, he doesn't pick up

    Emily"Yeah. I got it", I say through the damaged connection. He says something from the other side but I can't hear him properly. "I can't hear you, Kane. Please take care of yourself wherever you are. Try to be safe"The call ended before I could complete it. I'm confused, worried and freaked out at the same time. However, I try to calm down and recall everything I heard Kane saying. If he was out despite the worst weather hitting the city, it means he was after something huge and serious. And I have to check it out. I rush to Kane's cabin right away and find the yellow file. A bit concerned and worried, I open it. The first thing I see on the first page is a picture of a man. I frown at the picture, wondering why his face looks so familiar. But I'm sure I have never seen him. It's just that his face is too similar to someone I may know. My brain can't really process it. However, I scroll through the file and find his contact. Not sure if I'll be able to connect with him, I dial h

    ChristianI immediately barge out of the car after hearing Ivanna screaming behind me. Even though I'm shivering like hell, I manage to run behind the car, discovering Ivanna stuck in the ice to her thighs."Iv!" I gasp and kneel in front of her, unable to watch her properly due to the snow. "God! I'm stuck", she hisses, grabbing my arm. "Why are you out here?""Really? You want me to sit back there when you literally yelled", I sneer, trying to pull her out but my hands feel completely numb to do anything."Damn!" She groans."Can you push yourself?" I seethe. "No. I can't. I am numb", she screams in the heavy wind. "I can't feel anything down there"I rub my eyes and try to look down at her thighs. My eyes open wide when I find the snow becoming reddish. Is that blood?"Blood!" I blurt out. "It's your blood. Are you hurt?"She looks down and parts her lips in surprise. "Oh, God! No. I don't know if I feel the pain""Dammit!" I groan and start to punch the ice around her.My face s

    ChristianThankfully, we reach the same hospital where Chrissie is admitted. Ivanna is taken for treatment right away even though the situation in the hospital looks terrible. There's chaos and emergency everywhere. I'm glad that Ivanna could be admitted right away. I haven't met Chrissie yet. Annalyn told me that she had been asking about us since Ivanna got back late to be back. She's worried for us after watching the snowstorm. Patricia convinced her that we were fine and we'll be back soon. However, I don't think I can meet her right now in this condition. "You should get a check-up too", the man says as I look up at him. "If you don't get treatment, you might get hit by hypothermia"He's still in the hospital with me. And I really appreciate that. He helped me to find a doctor in the chaos. I would never be able to do that alone, carrying her around the hospital when I'm freezing almost. "I guess I'm fine now", I mutter and my voice is still shivering. "It can be fatal, Mr—" h

    Christian She drives her eyes away."I don't know. I wish it was that easy to decide. But I want to protect you, Chris! I feel so bad that I can do nothing to protect you", a teardrop slithers down to her cheek as she looks at the ceiling. "What if the case was the opposite? I know you would never let anything wrong happen to me, no matter how tough it was. You would have protected me and Chrissie both. I don't know how but you would definitely do it. I hate that I'm unable to protect you"Is she giving up? I know that I didn't want her to mess with all this. But deep down, I badly want her to protect me. Even if mankind tags me NOT MANLY enough to wish this. But I fucking want my woman to protect me because I know she's capable of it. She has done it so many times. She has no clue about it. "You have always protected me, Iv", I scoff. Her eyes slowly drift down at me, locking my eyes in intense eye contact. "Always. If nothing wrong happened until now, it was all because of you. I

"I could find this one, Sir", Nicole rushes with one and I immediately wrap it around myself, even though that's not enough. "Emily! Where's she? Is she okay?""I think it's you who is not okay, Sir. She's been in the office ever since", she says while following me."I know!" I shrug, walking faster towards the cabin but I guess I'm not really walking faster. My legs are aching after walking the whole way on this freaking ice. I tried to get my car out. But nothing worked. No vehicle. No network. What a great snowy day."Hey!" Emily exclaims, walking out of the cabin and she barges towards me. In the next moments, she's clinging onto my ached body. "Thank God!""Don't thank him. Because he froze me in that damn ice", I groan, shivering like hell. I don't even hug her back. "I thought my offspring is gonna be orphan before its birth""St

    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

    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

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.

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.

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.

    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.

    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.
