"Is that like Nicole's baby shower we went to last year?" Chrisanna asks as we reach Kane and Emily's apartment.

"Kind of that", Ivanna says, helping her get out of the car. "But we're gonna know if you and Eric are going to have a girl buddy or a boy buddy"

Chrisanna's face lightens up. "Oh really? That means I can already plan the games I wanna play with her"

"Well, I bet you'll be bored with those games until the baby grows up", I sigh, chuckling at her.

"Aha! I'll still play", she says.

"Okay. Let's go now", Ivanna carries and asks me to carry the goods inside with Ethan.

I wonder what she was thinking about Emily while getting so much food. What is Emily? A monster? Can be. I never saw a pregnant woman 24/7.

When I enter the apartment, I find myself lost in a small crowd. Emily should have told me to look for a place instead. Their space is too small even for a medium party. It was okay for only four of us with our house help employees.

    Thea"I don't know what I'm supposed to do. I can't handle all this. My head vibrates all the time. I can't sigh in relief. I can't close my eyes to peacefully sleep. I'm nervous. Terrified. Disturbed. All the fucking time. I don't know how to explain things to people. Especially John. They can't understand me. No one can understand me", I keep ranting at Molly.I wanna speak more. There's so much nonsense filled inside my head. I wanna clear them up at any cost. I stutter, trying to get my words out when my frustration mixed with immense anger keeps hammering my head, my chest, my sanity, everything. My entire body is shaking. "Thea!" Molly snaps. I hear her. But I don't stop. I glare up at her and grab the arms of the couch tightly, digging my nails into the surface. "I feel like shutting everything down for a while and going far away from everyone. I don't wanna be here. I don't—" I go out of breath and halt, trying to catch my breath. "Thea!" Molly snaps again, giving me a reli

    Thea As I look up my eyes out, I find Sebastian walking towards us. Fuck! How long has he been there? How much has he heard? And why the fuck is so early? My throat dries up right away with his familiar smirk. "Advocate?" I stutter, my voice vibrating more than any other time. Because— he fucking heard me. "Good afternoon", he says in a cheerful tone, tucking his hands into his pocket and walking towards us. I take a glance at Tiffany. She just rolls her eyes. "Good— afternoon", even though I try, I can't remove the hesitancy from my voice. "Well, Advocate Sebastian is not so rude. You shouldn't be threatening your—" he looks at Tiffany, halting. "Nanny", I say. "Yeah, nanny— you shouldn't be threatening your nanny like that about me", his lips widen into a smile. Seems like he didn't hear everything. God! But I don't know how much he has heard. "No, I wasn't threatening her", I snap, looking at her. "She just sometimes speaks a lot. You know some dumbhead talkative wo

    Thea My eyes grow bigger as I look at him out of words. His eyes don't move even a slightest bit from me as if he doesn't wanna miss a single nanosecond of my reaction. I brace myself and breathe deeply. "What kind of question is that? Of course, he did. I told you he had been literally stalking me for months. Isn't that enough for you to know he was giving me attention more than he should", I snarl at his face. He nods. "I see", and sips from his coffee. Tension grips my chest. Why did he suddenly ask such a question? It can't be a random one. "What do you mean? Why would you even ask me such a question? Do you have any doubts?" I ask, scanning his reaction carefully. He clears his throat, putting the mug aside. "Not exactly", he says. "The answer doesn't sound that accurate", I groan. "Christian Scott is known for his iconic relationship with his wife. You must know that", he says. I don't reply. "The whole Texas chants their name together whenever it comes to talkin

    Christian"Okay, so this man has just disappeared out of the blue", Kane shrugs, walking around the cabin. He has been talking to all his contacts since this morning. "I'm thinking of the same thing actually. I kept trying his number. There's no way his phone is dead for more than 24 hours and he didn't bother to charge it. I'm sure he abandoned the number""Let's not reach the conclusion now", Kane tells me. "I'm trying to find out when his phone was active the last time and where"I just nod.Shawn has called me three times already. But I have no clue about Jarred. "What?" Kane's loud screech startles me. I look at him, frowning as he talks to someone on a phone call. "Are you sure? I can't believe this", he seethes, cuts the call, and looks back at me. "What happened?" I ask. "It's been two months since Jarred's phone was last active. The same day when he left the hospital after the bone marrow transplant", he tells me. "Damn!" I grunt, shaking my head in disbelief. "He told

    TiffanyI won't look better anyway. I seethe to myself, looking at the mirror, placed in the corner of the yard. My eyes have swollen terribly. They look extremely bad and red. I don't want Ryan or Kevin to find me like this. They even question me when I look slightly tense. I never thought that Thea could make me cry. Her words were worthless to me. I never cared what kind of shit she spoke about me. However, today she crossed the line in front of an outsider. I can't stand such a kind of humiliation. I do have self-esteem. "Excuse me!" A familiar voice startles me and I look back right away. That advocate is standing right in front of me. His eyes open wider as he stares at me surprisingly."You alright?" He frowns."Yeah. Yeah. I'm fine", I sniff, looking away. "You don't look like though", his voice is curious. Why does he have to know, by the way?Alright, he's here to see what a humiliated woman looks like.

    Thea"We should recreate our wedding album someday", John says, turning the pages of our wedding album when I am in no mood to stare at them. I'm more concerned about Sebastian finding out the footage before me. I wonder what he might be doing right now. His work hours have finished for today and I don't think he's gonna move to the function hall today. I have only this evening to nab the manager at any cost."What do you say?" John asks, smiling. "Yeah. Good idea", I mutter.He sighs and closes it shut, turning to me. He holds my hand. "I can't understand what's happening to you. You said you're not stressed anymore but all I can see is that you're lost in some different world most of the time""I'm sorry", I clear my throat. "You stayed back at home for me and I—""That's fine", he squeezes my hand. "I just want you to feel better. And you can of course tell me if I can do anything to make you feel better""No— I—" I pause and look at him, tense. My head starts working. "Amm— yeah

    TiffanyMy eyes pop out as soon as my eyes land on his insta feed. The scene is completely different. People definitely carry different personalities on different sites. In these pictures, he doesn't look like a lawyer from any angle. These are professional photoshoots. Is he a part-time model?Can be!I scroll down and there are more photos from the beach, mostly alone. A few professional pics with his team. I smiled throughout the time when I scrolled his profile. And hours passed with me doing a mini research on Sebastian. Sebastian Ryder, 35 years old, is one of the most successful lawyers in the state. He never lost a case. And to their surprise, his clients were always on the right side. He hates defending and working for corrupted people which gained him success early in his career. I squirm abruptly and reality strikes me. He's handling Thea's case and if that's how he is, he wasn't supposed to be her lawyer.She's the culprit. Not the victim.Things don't add up. I close

    TiffanyI reach the same library Sebastian mentioned yesterday. I'm nervous. It'll be an understatement if I say I'm only nervous because many things are happening inside me. I hope I came at the right time. I walk inside the library. It's calm and peaceful. I look around and find a few people reading books in certain sections of the library. But I can't locate Sebastian anywhere."Ms. Tiffany?" A woman says from behind. I look back at the librarian. "Yeah", I whisper. "That's me. But how did you—"She smiles. "Advocate Sebastian was expecting you. You were looking for someone so, I thought—" she doesn't complete and points straight at another door. "He's on the balcony. He's the owner of this library by the way""I see", I smile at her and walk towards the door with my thudding heart.Should I really go?It'll eventually mean I went out with him.But why does that even matter so much?I can do things that I like.After battling with myself, I push the door and step inside.The b

    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. Surprisingly, Sebastian didn't suggest h

    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.
