Will be publishing another chapter in a couple of hours
ChristianAs Kane suggested, there's no way to find those people anywhere. Chrisanna isn't American by birth. We just knew that by her features. Her eyes, her face structures and her skin tone— everything was quite different from Americans. We could survey people from other countries staying in Texas but that wouldn't help much. Anyone can come here from anywhere and leave her over here. That person who left her may not have the nationality either. They might have moved back or something. Dang!It's definitely not gonna be easy. I smash my fist on the steering wheel, throwing my head back to the driving seat. It's only been a few hours since we started the process to find out those people and I'm already frustrated as hell. It takes Kane just a couple of hours to get every fucking information. Only when we know who the person is. At least, the name. We don't have it now. I have dropped Ivanna off back at her work. She didn't look much okay with this and I can understand her fear.
ChristianFrigid anger settles on my nerves as I glare at her, getting onto my feet. She's darting her eyes on me with no reaction after I have initially pushed. Never before have I done this to any woman but she has kind of forced me to do it. I have experienced enough attention throughout my life. And whenever I was mobbed by women, I found literally all of them just admiring towards me. They actually admired me and I never hesitated to share a hug. Nonetheless, whichever way Thea acted gave me an opposite vibe to everything. In fact, ever since she landed in my cabin, I sensed something fishy, different— and maybe the worst."Oops!" Thea touches her elbow which hits against the nearby stool. "Why are you so aggressive today, Christian?""Mr Scott!" I correct her. "I guess it'll be better if we just stay formal, Mrs Fox""What made you call me Mrs Fox in the very first place?" She shrugs, rolling her eyes. Is she serious? She's acting as nothing happened. "So, I can remind you wh
TheaI can say the exact moment when my heart vibrated— the exact moment, I felt my inside warming up with more than desires— a passion, a feeling, an urge to get something more than temporary pleasure. It was the damn first time when I could dare to get so closer to him— so much closer. His handsome face was just half an inch apart, and his alluring scent crashed through my nostrils, making my stomach churn with needs. His abrupt touch against my shoulder when he pushed me. Even though the moment lasted for nanoseconds but that fucking duration made it more intense for me. It was not enough. If those nanoseconds could occur such an enormous storm inside me, I can't imagine what would happen if it gets longer— bigger and deeper. I wonder how it'll feel to watch him from this much closer, to touch every inch of him, to inhale his scent as long as possible. It's not enough. It doesn't seem to be enough. I want him!Fuck it! I want him. Not only to fuck or sleep with. But I want him
IvannaI gawk at Christian in disbelief after he slams the chair aggressively on the floor. He's shaking, anticipation covering his face, and as he looks up at me, I find him breathing heavily with his helpless eyes calming down. I don't find words to speak as it's been a long time since I have seen him in such an aggressive mood. It was when I told him about Adrian. The last time when I saw him being so damn aggressive to slam things around. It's definitely been years. I can sense the intensity of the reason behind his action and walk inside. He lets out a deep sigh, turning his face aside. I stumble upon the chair and bend over to lift it. Slowly putting it aside, I walk towards him near the large window. He's looking down at the streets. Reaching closer to him, I hold his shoulder. He's still looking down and breathing heavily."Are you alright?" I whisper. He shakes his head. "No"My heart sinks. Gulping down, I brace myself before he can say anything. "Why is all this happen
IvannaI take his head against my chest as he hugs me tightly. I kiss over his head, nuzzling his hair gently. "Everything will be fine, Chris. Don't worry. We'll get a donor soon. It's just been a week since we started looking for a donor", I tell him. "Hmmm", he rubs his face against my chest, his sharp beard brushing against my skin causing goosebumps all over me. I softly moan as he kisses my collarbone. "How do you always know when I need you? You always appear before I lose it completely", he tells me."The way you always know whenever I'm in need of you", I whisper. We spent a few minutes in each other's arms before my eyes drift to the clock. It's been a long time since I have come here. "It's literally been an hour, Chris. I should leave now", I say, trying to pull my knees from under his torso."Stay for a while", he mumbles."Mr Scott, you have a ton of work to do. I'm not here to distract you", I chuckle. He looks up at me with complaint-filled eyes and it makes him
ChristianI manage to wrap up my work anyhow before the evening. Eventually, a plan of two days won't harm. We'll be away from all the stress even though there's a lot to stress about. I'll keep looking for those people outside the state. Kane has already informed the team to stick to it. The doctors are continuously monitoring the procedures for getting a donor. Among all this, I don't want better things to fade away. "Christian", Kane's voice comes from behind as I lock the shelves, turning back to him. "I was about to call you. For now, there are no urgent tasks left to be done. I completed them all. Just take care of the rest"I tell him with a smile but he seems to be tense as he scratches his forehead. "Anything wrong?" I frown. "Well, there's a blunder, Christian", he says. Now what?"What happened?" I lean over the desk, grab the edges and look at the clock. "Whatever it is, say it asap. I'm getting late"He lets out a deep sigh. "Christian, I'm not sure if you'll be able
ChristianWhat the hell am I thinking? Nudging my eyes away from the direction, I correct myself. I can't just get to a conclusion about a woman like this. I have started to question my sanity. Why am I having such vibes from Thea when it all can be wrong? I strive to shove it all out of my head and turn around to leave. "Good evening, Mr Scott", Thea's voice brings me back to the moment and I turn back to her. She still has that smirk on which makes me restless for no reason. "Good evening", I shrug and step back since she has been just half a foot away from me. "Did you like the shoot?" She asks. "It was good", I try to avoid the conversation as much as I can, keeping my eyes away from her. "Seems like, you're still mad at me", she says. "I'm even calling you Mr Scott"I glance at her, pursing my lips. "I don't hold grudges with people, Mrs Fox. Only if they try to not bring up the topic. Again and again!" I keep my eyes straight on her.Surprisingly, she doesn't get annoye
ChristianI panic right after I find my phone switched off and turn it on. I never switch my phone off when I'm outside. Especially for a whole year, I don't remember I ever switched it off because of emergencies regarding Chrissie."I don't know, Sir", Nicole stutters. "I didn't even know it was switched off""I clearly remember it was switched on when I gave it to you", I sneer, shooting her a strong glare."Sir, I'm sorry. I don't know how it happened", she stammers. I don't reply to her anymore and open the call list. There were a lot of missed calls from Ivanna a few hours ago. It was when I was in the studio. The network is too poor over there. But there's a recent call from her just an hour ago. And it was declined.What the fuck?"Nicole, do you want me to teach you your job now? Even after a whole decade", I lash out at her. She literally cut Ivanna's phone."Sir— what— what did I do?" She says on the verge of crying. "What's wrong here?" Kane arrives behind, gawking at us
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
