It's my first day at work and I thought it would be great. It's not like my colleagues are not nice but I can't stop getting frustrated over my life. I left the villa without meeting Christian. And I miss him now.
I thought we'd have a great start to this day. He would wish me luck with a sweet morning kiss and it would be perfect. However, I can't take things out of my head.
I feel low.
I feel bad.
From the moment I got to I was literally treated like a material, it freaked me out. No matter how badly he claims to love me, it's definitely not the way he should have made me his. I can't accept it anyway. No sane woman can accept to be materialised.
I sigh, pulling off my chemical gloves and washing my hands. It's been a long shift.
"I hope I didn't bore you", Jacob says, washing his hands.

ChristianI can't describe the feeling in words. It feels like someone had poured water into the dead plant after the entire day. I kiss her forehead as she rubs her cheek against my chest, closing her eyes. I gently slide my fingers under her wet strands of hair and tuck them behind her ear, revealing her fresh beautiful skin."Too tired, my baby wife?" I chuckle."Umm! I'm sleepy," she rubs her eyes, speaking in a drowsy tone."Have you eaten something, huh?" I ask."No. I wanna sleep," she mumbles."Hey, no. Don't sleep now. Get up. You'll eat first," I scoff, parting her head away from my chest.Her eyes are still closed as she curls up her face. "No. I'm sleepy," she cries out."You need to eat first. I don't even know if you ate something the entire day. Don't throw tantrums and open your eyes," I shrug, getting her off my lap."You

Emily I’m freaking out here with my stupid ex-boyfriend on the fucking road. It was beyond my expectation that I would bump into him like this. Well, I didn’t bump into him. This idiot has been stalking me for a couple of days to talk. Talk? What should we even talk about? People talk about misunderstandings, not about cheating! “Listen, Ryan. I’m being patient enough. If you don’t leave my hand right now, I will— “What’s happening here?” A familiar voice comes from behind. I freeze. It’s my grouch boss’s voice. Before I can look behind, he steps near me and frowns at Ryan. They have awkward eye contact as I see Kane’s eyes coming down to our hands. That fucking asshole is still holding my hand when I’m struggling to get away. I don’t wanna be embarrassed in front of my boss. I’m left dumbfounded, gawking at him. “Whatever

KaneWe come into Miss Benson's little apartment on the third floor and according to human nature, I should be rolling my eyes around the apartment. It's still not fully settled for a person to stay in. It contains a single room and there's still a lot of stuff packed in boxes."Sorry, it's too small", she mutters, pressing a forced smile. "I can only afford it for now""That's fine. Once I used to have the same kind of apartment", I say with a smile.She seals her lips and pauses staring at me without even blinking her eyes."Miss Benson", I roll my eyes."Yes", her lips widen into a l

Ivanna "You don't reply to my messages", Irene husks in a disappointed tone as we sip from the iced coffee. "I don't get time to chat. There's too much happening", I lie. A few minutes can be easily managed but my sister being the ex of my husband is definitely not a very comfortable thing. I know how Irene is. She's good at heart but sometimes she's too difficult to handle. "Once you had time to gossip with me for hours on the call. You had two jobs right then and you were a full-time student. You had no servant in your tiny apartment and did everything alone. Was life easier than this one back then?" She can attack straight on the spot.

"My phone's buzzing""Let it buzz," he husks.The air becomes heavy between us and I know if I let it go with the flow, we'll end up on the bed like always. We always do it after a mess and I don't know how intense love making makes it all easy for a while.Just for a while!I don't want a temporary convenience. Nor do I want to solve it every time like this. He tucks my hair gently behind my ear as

Emily"Miss Benson, I apologise for leaving without letting you know and I hope you won't face any problem regarding the lock. The key must be somewhere around. Thanks for your hospitality. You don't need to attend the office until I come back to the city. I'll let you know once I'm back. And take care"I have read this note more than ten times since I got it on the table. My morning started differently on the couch today. When I woke up, I almost panicked about Kane, thinking he might have fallen asleep too and missed his flight.However, he was already gone. I panicked again thinking about the lock but he was too smart to manage to get out of here. The most surprising thing was the blanket.I didn't know my

It can't be true.Adrian!He can't be. In just a single moment, all the flashes of that night rewind in front of my eyes. I shiver, gasp and sweat, grabbing the pillar next to me."Okay, that's fine. I'm coming over there," he adds.I gulp, drawing my eyebrows together and looking behind.Adrian is on a call.

IvannaI love the sky. And I love his company while staring at the countless stars over there. He knows it so well.He brings me to an unfamiliar spot. It has nothing around. No construction, no locality. It's an open field, surrounded by a row of trees. As he said, the place is under review to have some construction and the best place to watch the dark sky.I don't remember for how long we're staring at the stars. I'm indeed looking for mom and chase and he must be doing the same for his lost ones. At least, there's a similarity between us which connects us more than anything.When two lonely people looking for comfort after ages, they are automatically connected.

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.
