I feel the most familiar and softest touch across my cheek along with the morning sun plunging on me.
"Good morning, beautiful," Christian whispers near my ear as his warm breath brushes against my skin.
My lips twitch into a smile as I feel sharp pain down there. The pleasure I consumed last night is still raw and fresh inside me. I open my eyes, discovering the handsome face closer to me.
Our bodies are still tangled under the sheets.
Reality strikes me as my smile fades away.
The flashes of last night hit my head, making me realise what the fuck we have done

Ivanna A week. A damn week passed and it doesn't feel like air passing by. It feels like a minute passing like a year. For the first two days, I was disturbed and guilty for uttering such hurtful things to him. I didn't know what I was doing. I knew what kind of man he was. He was anything but not someone who forces himself on a woman. But I literally hit that point of him. What did I want when I was accusing him? Maybe, I wanted him to get tired of me. I wanted him to get annoyed and stop caring about me. I wanted him to hurt me back for hurting him. I didn't want to fill the voids between us. Because deep down, I was scared to accept how far we have come. I was scared to admit that I was falling for him when I was already in love with someone else. I was going crazy after him who did so many wrong things to my family. I just wanted to stop myself. At any cost. However, I didn't know it would be so hard. So damn hard.

Ivanna As I fight with my tears to hold back, I hear the sound of the door. What is Mrs Fisher doing at this hour? I look at the door when it opens, causing shivers all over me. Christian comes inside, taking lazy steps. He looks burnt out and tired. The moment I realise he's back, a small smile curves on my face. His eyes land on me, swollen and red as if he hasn't slept for days. Our eyes meet, leaving me dumbfounded— I don't know how to speak and how to react. He doesn't smile, nor does he look happy to see me. He's still angry and hurt. I can feel that from the way he gazes at me. There's nothing but silence.

ChristianIvanna peeked at me with her big blue eyes and rubbed my cheek with her thumb softly."You're tired, no?""I was. Not anymore," I chuckle, running my fingers across her hair."You should sleep now""I want to watch you now," I mutter.She says nothing and looks down at my chest. Her fingers crawl over my skin as if she's outlining each detail of me."Where were you?" She asks in a low tone."I had been to Washington. There was some pending work"

IvannaThe rays of the morning sun tease me as I squirm on the bed with a slight soreness. I love this feeling in the morning. It's not like I didn't love it that morning— I did but messed up the entire thing.I open my eyes with a wide smile to find Christian's eyes on me. To my surprise, he is half-laid next to me, darting his eyes on the phone.Seriously!Wasn't he staring at me that morning until I woke up? Or was it only for the first time? Now, I'll have to get used to it, huh? I frown, gritting my teeth at him. He doesn't even realise that I have woken up. I move on the bed deliberately to grab his attention.And it work

ChristianI haven't expect her to be here so soon. I don't even know if she heard me but she knows I was talking to Richard. Heck! I hope she doesn't go furious after overhearing me.When I scan her reaction well, it tells a different story. I walk towards her and get closer as she curiously stares at me."Yes," I say.She parts her lips to speak something and again seals them for a while."What— what was he saying?" She sounds desperate, still, calm which I didn't expect. She didn't hear anything otherwise, she would have screwed me until now.I let out a sigh.

Kane "We need to divide the staff in a few corps for further progress. There should be a change in the entire system", I say, making a column on the processor. "It's gonna be a lengthy process, Sir", Nicole says from behind. "But we don't have an option left. Christian is finally acting like a boss— leaving for anywhere anytime and dumping work on the employees. So, basically, the CEO is a family man now and he can't be the same as before", I can't help laughing. "That's true. I can't believe he used to leave work only for six hours of sleep", Nicole adds. "Better for you also, right?"

Everything happened so quickly that it takes me a few seconds to feel the terror inside me.My body ripples against him as I gawk at him with my pounding heart, stunned and drained."Hey, I had already held you," he chuckles.I can't utter a single word. The moment which took only five seconds to occur is roaming inside my head. My heart throbs faster, catching my breath."Why did you—," terror fills inside me as I can't understand why he had to do that stupid prank with me. I sense my voice breaking.

ChristianI can hear Ivanna breathing heavily after speaking about everything she has inside; even though I know there are still a lot of things that remained unsaid between us, piled up for the right time.I don't know when the right time is gonna arrive but, certainly, I'm not gonna let her go, no matter how hurtful and deep the secrets are, I just can't let her go.I hold her hand upon my chest and turn around. I can see her face shining rosy through the bonfire. Her eyes glisten with eye contact, filled with an urge— as if she badly wants me to respond.Spiralling my arms around her waist, I pull her up from the ground as our noses touch. She closes her eyes immediately as a sign of insistence

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

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.

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. 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.
