Jarred

"Wait! What do you mean?" I exclaim.

"What do you think about why you're here when Thea was right in front of us?" He asks in a kind of annoyed tone.

"Listen, I don't understand a thing", I shrug and walk towards my bed due to the exhaustion still crawling all over me.

I sit at the edge of the bed and look at him. "Okay. So, I assume— believe actually, that Thea knows about Chrisanna's cancer"

"That's right", Kane says.

"And she couldn't be a donor. A match. Of course. That's why she told you about me", I try to solve the puzzle since whatever I say, I can't get Thea's confession out of my head. She never once asked me how I got to know. Maybe, she told them about me. But again, why would she ask me to leave either? So many fucking confusions.

Kane laughs, making me more confused. "What made you come up with this story, Jarred?"

"What do you mean?"

"I mean that Thea can definitely be a donor. Thea can easily donate bone marrow. But you're still here", he says.

"Wait, are you

    IvannaMy body shudders with an unprecedented rage abruptly. I feel angry. Beyond my imagination. All my organs seem to start burning at the sight of her— the first time I'm seeing her after knowing what she did to him. I don't know how I'm holding back when right now all I want is to be the worst version of myself and make her pay for every single pain she caused Christian. "You look angry?" She frowns with a smirk, slowly walking towards me. She has bandages all over her arms and also her head. I look away, not wanting to talk to her at all. I just know that if she stays in front of me a bit longer, I won't be able to control myself."I'm just here to see how you're doing", she says. "But you seem to like—""Shouldn't you be resting, Thea?" I shoot her an ugly glare. "Because I can see your condition is worse than mine"I check her from head to toe. She pauses for a whole second with that same look. Same smirk. "I was never worse than you in anything, Ivanna", there's nothing b

    Ivanna"You really—""I really punched her. And her good luck. She was already weak after the accident. I was being a woman to not attack another weak woman or else she would have been bled to death today", I shrug off in utter frustration.Christian is still silent with the same look of disbelief. Then he smiles out of nowhere. "Oh, God! Really? I mean really! My kind, adorable, innocent, peace-loving wife chose violence today? I'll need time to process this", he laughs again but immediately stops, finding me glaring at him. "What?""Yes. I chose violence against that woman who dared to lay her fucking nasty eyes on my husband and harassed him for weeks. I can strangle her to death and make her regret doing so"As I fum in utter anger, I find him smiling at me like an idiot. "That's not funny. You would have killed any man if such a thing happened to me", I shrug. "As I should", he softly nuzzles my knuckles, keeping his eyes on me. "I did the same", I say in a low tone, peering

    Jarred"She was a year old when we adopted her", Christian narrates while walking through the corridor. "I still remember— I wasn't interested in adoption— just a second before seeing her", he lets out a small laugh. "That must be one of the most unexpected best days of my life"I'm mesmerised by the way he describes it with a wider smile as if he can still feel the moment. I missed it. "Why didn't you want an adoption?" I ask, pushing myself to respond. "Well, that's kind of silly and complicated at the same time. Ivanna was unable to conceive and she was literally blaming herself, going into depression and things— I didn't want her to feel that it made her imperfect. I genuinely didn't want anything from her. And I felt like she was pushing me for adoption because she thought she was incomplete. It was never the case. Until the moment I saw Chrissie, and Ivanna being genuinely happy. Chrissie didn't complete us. She completed us individually as a person. I understood that after sh

    ChristianAfter a while, I walk near the door and watch through the window. Chrisanna is happily talking to Jarred, giggling and responding quickly. Even though I can't hear a thing, it seems like she really loved his company. I smile at them, crossing my arms. "Hey!" Kane calls me from behind."Hmm""I hope you're not feeling too bad. I mean we all are sorry for Jarred but you should know that it was fate. And this revelation shouldn't make a difference to your life, Christian", he tells me."I know", I shake my head."What happened? You are flashed out", he says."I don't know""You can tell me"I let out a deep sigh, feeling a bit restless. "I won't be able to share my daughter with anyone if I try to be fair", my voice comes out to be a bit heavier. "What? Why are you saying so?" He exclaims, holding my shoulder.I keep looking at Chrisanna and Jarred talking. "You know Chrissie well. Right? She's friendly but she's never so outspoken with anyone in such a short time.

    TheaI have bitten off all my nails. Sucks! I look down at my miserable hands and curse that bitch my heart out. She had that fucking audacity to call me out like this! How badly I wanted to smack her face when she was rambling shit! I know she must be laughing at me and enjoying her victory but I'll never let it happen. "You should calm down", Tiffany comes inside and crosses her arms as I glare at her. "You're groaning and rambling. It's not good for your health""You don't need to worry about that", I shrug. "That bitch is getting on my nerves now""Who?" She halts and parts her lips in shock. "Wait! Did you meet Ivanna?" She stares at me for a while and her eyes widen. "Oh my God! Your lip. What's this bruise about?"She surges towards me in so much concern as if she actually cares about me."Stay away!" I groan and drift away on the bed. "That bitch punched me""What?" She literally screams. "Ivanna? Are you kidding me? She punched—""Yeah. She did. She's not as innocent as she

    Christian"It's a match?" I exclaim, unable to hold my joy back. "Yes, it is", Michael says with a wide smile. "I can't believe a few weeks ago, it was literally impossible to find a donor. Now you have two!" I ignore the last words anyhow and strive to embrace the joy of relief finally. Jarred can be a donor to Chrissie!I immediately turn back to Kane and find him smiling. "Did you hear him? It's a match""Yeah. I did", he smiles at me. "Congratulations, Christian"We embrace each other right away when I'm almost on the verge of breaking down."I still can't believe this. God! Ivanna will be so happy. Finally!""I knew this squabble wasn't gonna last long. I'm so happy for you guys. For Chrisanna", he taps on my back as I pull away, rubbing my eyes before I could shed tears and smile at them. "When are you going to start the procedure? I want you to make it as fast as possible", I blurt out in a breath, then gulp down, sighing. "Definitely, I'm not saying you should make a hurry

    Thea"I can't tell you how happy I am today. You're finally getting discharged. The boys are so happy", John says while signing the discharge papers. Finally, I'm getting out of this hell hole hospital after three fucking days. My injuries are yet to be healed and my body is still aching terribly. I have isolated myself completely in this cabin since that day due to my own restlessness. Everything sucks. Everyone sucks. "Hey, what's wrong? You good?" John touches my cheek and despite getting irritated, I don't react, just shake my head."I'm good. Just bored", I roll my eyes.He chuckles. "We'll be leaving in thirty minutes", he sits next to me and looks straight at my face, making me flinch. I don't like all this cheesy stuff, especially that staring. "God! I'm so relieved. You don't know this must be the worst week of my life. I almost lost you"I gulp down. "I'm fine now""I know. I know. And I'm really grateful that you're fine.

    IvannaAfter five days of shitty isolation, it feels great to be back home. I have never stayed away from home for so long before, as far as I can realise. That's definitely crazy. Our vacations used to be short ones. Maximum three days due to our crazy work schedules. I look around the room properly with an automatic smile. The room is decorated differently with fresh flowers and some updated photograph collages on the wall. It doesn't take me much time to believe Christian did all this when he wasn't in the hospital last night. It was quite surprising to me since he never left me at night but last night he sent Flora to be near me. And he wasn't there even in the morning. I knew he must be doing some random sweet stuff at home. I squirm against the headboard to sit comfortably and stare around the room in bliss. "Yeah, I'll talk to him about that. Hanging up now", Christian cuts the call after a long conversation on the phone and turns to me.Our eyes immediately meet. "You rea

    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

    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. It's a painting I got from an art summit years back, featuring a mother and her small daughter, surviving

    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.

    Tiffany We talked a lot today. I'm glad that I took this whole day out for him because we needed to have this conversation. I have finally decided to move in with him. 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. I'll need a lot of time to clean the mess and organise my life and I think I'll surely do it if I have Sebastian.I'm glad that Sebastian understood me and more than that he trusted me enough.
