ChristianI become completely numb with the sudden action and it takes me a whole second to realize what's happening. I feel something roam all over my torso, causing disgust throughout my body. It's nothing else but Thea's hand. I shudder and groan to push her aside but my body is slumped under her and I know no matter how stronger I'm than her, I can't push her so easily after losing all the balance of my body. "Mrs. Fox—" I snarl. "Get off me. Now""It took me damn thirty-five days to get you closer like this, Christian. And now when I have you, you want me to get off", she seethes.I can hardly open my eyes due to the hangover. It sucks. "Stop your nonsense!" I growl, popping my eyes out. "You don't know what you're doing, Mrs. Fox. You better stop this"To my surprise, she laughs aloud."You think I don't know what I'm doing? But the truth is— you don't know what you want, Christian. Or, you're still trying to keep your too-loyal man personality on. I know you want me the way I
Ivanna "Chris!" I yelp, rushing towards him and immediately holding him by his arms. "Chris, are you okay?"I touch his cheek gently, scanning his face. His eyelids are slumping down and his body seems too heavy as if he can't even handle his weight."What hap—" I pause, sniffing something. "Are you— are you drunk?"He curls up his face, leaning against the wall and pushing his body back to his feet."Yeah. A— a bit. But I'm fine", he groans.He looks away and it seems like he's deliberately not looking at me. He hasn't looked at me ever since he entered. Maybe, because he's drunk. But I feel there's something more than that. He's sounding so pressed. "Okay. Come. Let me help you to change. You want a shower?" I ask.He walks past me, shoving my hands away. "I'll do it myself, Ivanna. Go and sleep"It leaves me in quite a shock. I can see he's unable to do anything properly. He just takes out random clothes that he doesn't even wear at night. "Chris!" I reach him and hold his wrist
ChristianI groan against the pillow with a light headache and roll over. My eyes flutter open with that scenario again hitting my sanity. I look around, discovering myself on my bed. There's no one in the room. My eyes go in the direction of the clock. It's already nine. Ivanna might have taken Chrissie to school.I get up and stay in the same position for a while, processing everything that happened last night. Unfortunately, that wasn't a dream.And to my stupidity, I behaved so badly with Ivanna. I grab my head in frustration, groaning heavily. She must be so hurt. She wasn't at any fault but I ended up being so rude to her. However, I was so fucking disturbed. I was scared that she's gonna make me spit out everything. I didn't want her to hold me because I feared she'll have a kind of feeling. She'll get to know how close Thea was to me. I don't know if women have these kinds of instincts too. But I honestly didn't want her to come closer to me until I wash off all the freaki
I don't know what's wrong with Christian. He's acting strange. Ever since he woke up, he has literally said 'I love you' to me like twenty times. It's not like I don't love it whenever he says it but it all feels so strange to me. He even skipped the office today as he's not feeling well with the hangover. It's actually good. He has been working continuously without any breaks. Kane told me that there is too much mess in the company, almost near to losses. Christian never told me about that. I don't know how many things he has been dealing with. I feel his long arms spiralling around my waist when I take out warm waffles on the plate. "Smells so good", he mumbles, rubbing his nose against my neck. "I know right. That's why I love waffles""I'm not praising the waffles, Mrs. Scott", I hear him chuckle. "Nothing smells better than you"I bite on my lower lip, sensing my cheeks heating up. "Chris! Not in the damn kitchen""Do I need a specific place to flirt with my wife?""Yes. Beca

ChristianWe reach Chrissie's school before the bell rings. With my damn phone kept shut, I'm feeling so light and free today that I can't express it in words. And I watch Ivanna properly from head to toe after a long time. She has worn a lavender tank top, paired with black palazzo. Her hair is half tied at the top and the rest is touching her waist. My eyes graze near her ear, spotting the rose gold ear pins I got her like four to five years back. She still has those. My smile only widens as I notice each detail of her. In short, she's looking incredibly cute, of course, the most beautiful, of course, the sexiest. "We're not on a date, Mr. Scott", her chirping voice brings me back to my senses as I grin. "Let me remind you. We're here to pick our daughter up""It's not less than a date, right?" I chuckle as we walk through the narrow parkway. "Don't get started here. Behave", she shoots me a glare like a grandma as I nod. She cracks up watching me nod when I intertwine my fingers
Christian"I want Mac and cheese", Chrissie says excitedly, her voice barely audible. We order the same for us as Chrissie wanted. Between the food comes, Chrissie starts narrating everything that happened in her school today and Ivanna listens to her with the same focus she gives in her research!I only watch the unlimited cuteness and wholesomeness in front of me. I have always believed life is supposed to be messed up. And I never had a complaint about my life until it overwhelmed me. I don't think I'm capable enough to take it all at once. However, I'm sure I'll tell her. Maybe, after this lunch or after the day passes by. It has been a wonderful day till now. I don't wanna spoil this. "Paa, are you getting bored?" Chrisanna's voice brings me back to reality. "No", I laugh. "How can I be bored?""But you're not saying anything", she scrunches her eyebrows a little. And I pause—Her eyes!Her eyes suddenly remind me of Thea's eyes. I could see her eyes closely last night and ma
ChristianI'll be waiting till tomorrow. As she trusts me, I need to trust her. I need to trust that she'll understand me. I fear if I keep hiding this from her, Thea will take advantage of it.After whatever happened yesterday, that woman had the guts to fill poison in Ivanna's head today. I don't think she's gonna give up so easily. But I'm no less. She thinks our relationship is like those weak relationships she has seen till now. She has been surrounded by so many toxic and negative relationships that she believes all marriages are a facade and full of lies and betrayals. She has never seen a beautiful marriage ever in her life. That's why she's so fucking overconfident that I'm attracted to her when my life, my world, my existence everything starts with Ivanna and ends with Ivanna.She'll see her assumptions getting wrong.While caressing Ivanna's hair and thinking about all this, I hear Ivanna slowly snoring. I look down and stare at her beautiful face for a while. I could te
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
