Christian"Where have you been?" Ivanna clamours, rushing out of the balcony, her eyes blazing at me. It seems like she has been looking for me for a while now. I pass her a half smile as she gets closer and hugs me as tightly as possible. I hug her back, digging my face into her neck, inhaling her comforting scent. I still can't function in my brain after what Thea said about her.Every single person who knows Ivanna never uttered a single bad word about her. People love her, admire her and definitely cherish her. She has always been so loving to everyone that I doubt if she ever did something to freak out anyone. In fact, after everything Thea did to her, she never uttered a single bad word about her. Then why? And from where did Thea get so much frustration regarding her?I just want to create a better place for Ivanna. And if Thea keeps bothering her, I don't know how I'm gonna tackle it along with my profession.Ivanna rubs her cheek against my chest as I nuzzle her hair gently
Thea"Thea, stop!" Tiffany screams. "Please stop"My head is on the verge of exploding, and anger is throbbing inside me. I'm feeling like all my veins are gonna burst out if I don't vent out. I keep throwing all the stuff around the room. The vases, the sculptures, all the damn stuff around. Everything. I throw some against the wall and some on the mirror. I can hear the exploding noise but it doesn't calm me down. My wrath increases with every fucking second. "Thea, please. Stop. Stop before John shows up. What are you gonna tell him?" She seethes.I groan, slamming myself on the bed and grabbing the edge tight. My heart is pounding against my chest. My entire body keeps getting hotter and hotter. "How dare he! How dare he insult me again?" I grunt under my breath, recalling that shitty scenario when he behaved so rudely to me. It was so fucking humiliating.No one. No one ever insulted me the way that he did. "So, just move on from him, no?" Tiffany gasps. "Why are you even aft
IvannaThea getting involved with Christian at work is the most unexpected thing for me. I have already started having weird vibes. But I can't let Christian know about this. I don't want him to think I'm insecure or I'm being unreasonable. I won't do any such thing which gradually makes him annoyed by me. I gulp down and drop my gaze. "Emily said not to hire her. So, they just got into an argument", Christian says. I don't know how to reply to this. Why am I feeling this way? I should not. I should never. I know how much he loves me then why such insecurity is killing me this way? Thea is married too. She has kids. Why would she even do anything wrong? Undoubtedly, I'm being way too unreasonable. I need to fix my head anyway. Christian clears his throat, bringing me out of my thoughts. I squirm on his lap and pull a small smile. "Emily is crazy", I laugh. "This is not a thing to argue over""Well, an argument between them means she was shouting at him. One-Sided", I roll my eyes
IvannaAfter preparing lunch for everyone, I come into the room and find Emily reading Chrisanna and Eric Harry Potter. All three are inside the blanket, digging their faces into that single book. The scenario is quite funny and cute at the same time. I chuckle walking inside.They still haven't noticed me. "Are you guys gonna finish this whole series today?" I ask with a giggle. They all lift their heads exactly at the same moment. Emily enlarges her eyes right away. "Ugh! No. My jaw already hurts", she touches her cheek. "Then try to fight less", I laugh. She curls up a dirty look and slams the book shut. "Emmy! More", Eric shakes her. "Yes. More", Chrisanna jumps on the bed, pushing her knees. "Lord! I really can't anymore because I'm sick of reading this for years. Go—" she slams the book into Eric's hand. "Um— ask Kane to read you""But he doesn't like to read", Chrisanna makes a disappointed face. "Then annoy him until he agrees to read you. Huh? You both can't do such s
Christian I could see how stressed out she was. But she won't tell me like always. I drift my eyes back at Emily. "Did she say something to you?" I ask."Not something. Many things", she sighs. "I know you're more focused on Chrisanna now but it won't be good to delay with Ivanna. Take her to a councillor as soon as possible. Before she kills herself with so much negativity"Her harsh words give a rise to my anticipation. I can't even figure out what the fuck is going on. I don't wanna lose her. I clutch my hair tightly, inhaling and exhaling deeply. "Is there anything I can do for this?" I ask her. "Did she say something which made you feel like I can change them to make her feel better?"Emily gets off the bed."Trust me. You can't. In fact, you should not. You're already doing enough. Yet, she's getting herself into such things. There's a limit to giving efforts, Christian. You can't do everything for her. This time she has to do something for herself", she says."I know", I sha
Christian"Find her biological parents"This is not what I exactly wanted to hear. Stunned and unable to utter the next work, I gape at Kane. He drops his gaze and sighs, letting me process the thing. I can barely gulp down and breathe, thinking about the outcomes. "I know. You won't want her biological parents to enter the scenario, Christian", he adds after a long pause. "But I think it'll be an easier and the fastest way to save Chrisanna. Among seven billion people, how will you find a match for her bone marrow transplant? Doctors said that there is a 99% chance that any of the parents can be her donor"I nod. "I know that well, Kane. But where am I gonna find her parents? Why will they even try to save her when they were the ones to leave her?""The decision is up to you. We have ways to find her parents. That won't be a big deal if we try. It's just that you'll need to be prepared to tackle the situation", he tells me. My phone beeps again with Ivanna's message. This is the te

Ivanna Striding between the rows of shelves, I scan through all the books. It's been a long time since I got new ones. Honestly, I don't find the time for reading anymore."What about this one?" Christian grabs a copy of 'IT ENDS WITH US "Do you think I haven't read it yet?" I chuckle. "It's my favourite one. I told you already"Twitching his lips, he puts it back on the shelf. "You have so many favourites''"Not among people", I tilt my head back at him, whispering. "You're my favourite"Leaning toward him and going on my tiptoes, I give him a quick kiss on his lips. A small smile crosses his face that I can see in the shady lights due to the rows of shelves all around.I leave that section and walk toward another section. "Mrs Scott, you have crossed your favourite section", he tells me from behind. "Romance"I turn around and take a look at those. "They don't feel the same anymore", I tell him. He immediately frowns in confusion. "So, you got bored with ROMANCE?""No. But there
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
It's been a while since I updated this book. 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. I take a look at every one. John, Mr Ryder, Gary, Myra, Christian, Ivanna and the recent teenager Chrisanna. Everything feels so complete and beautiful. Mr Ryder comes and takes Emery from Sebastian even though she doesn't wanna go. With the pastor's words, Sebastian and I looked into each other's eyes deeply. "I, Sebastian Ry
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. I'm scrolling through my phone to research the jobs I t
