Chapter 80 : First Love

I 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. I always wondered what's the only thing to make me bound to this man even after so many crucial secrets. Because unknowingly enough, he filled all the voids of my life as I did to him. "Why didn't you look for him?" Chris

Ivanna A week passed after that weird moment. Adrian never behaved like that again and I thought I was overthinking all that. How can Adrian be the person? He just came back from England a few months ago, as Noah said. He couldn't be in Texas almost two years ago. Besides, why would he hide it if he recognised me? Until then, I wanted the person to come back but now I don't want it. Because when the need becomes more important than love, all we care about is need. Christian is my NEED. I have come to meet Irene after the gym session since I usually have an hour's break before my class starts. We met in the same coffee shop. When she called me last night to catch up, I gave her a condition. I would only meet her if she didn't talk about Christian at all. I literally hate it when she even utters his name. Is that insecurity or jealousy? I don't know.

IvannaMy brain stops functioning right away as I gawk at him in disbelief, shaking my head. Closing my eyes tightly, I strive to wake up. It has to be a nightmare.It better be one."Face it, Ivanna", Adrian husks in a low tone as I feel him getting closer to me.I take my steps back, widening my eyes at him. He's staring at me intensely."Face the truth", he groans."It's not. It can't be", I can hardly speak."It won't change if you want it to be, Ivanna", as he gets closer to me, softly speaking, I take another step back.If he's the one, I'm surely in love with him.But I don't know why it feels so wrong. So damn wrong. It feels so sinful to get closer to him."It's true that—" his hand lifts towards my face but I immediately nudge it away. My body shivers with anticipation as I don't even dare to look at him.

Christian As I try to solve the issues in the pile of sheets—frustrated and annoyed, a knock occurs at the door. "Who's that?" I groan. "Come later. I'm busy" "Okay" That one light voice stops my hands from moving on the sheets and leaving all the stupid things aside. My eyes automatically drift to the door as I see Ivanna turning back. "Wait!" I jump off my seat as she immediately looks up at me. A silly smile curves on my face. "That was you? Why on this earth do you need to knock?" I sniff, smiling at her. "It's not our bedroom", she mumbles. "So, what?" I walk towards her as she reaches me. She says nothing, just peers deep into my eyes in silence. I realise she doesn't often come to my office. The last time she came here was when she was angry. Now, she's calm. "What a pleasant surprise, Mrs Scott", my hands spiral aro

IvannaMy eyes widen at the screen. Cold shivers run across my body and I cut the call right away without assessing anything. My heartbeats raise again. I look at Christian.I can't do this.Responding to Adrian will indirectly lead me to something I don't wanna do. I value our marriage, no matter how messed up it is. I value Christian.Shoving my phone under the pillow, I get inside Christian's arms and close my eyes tightly. He moves a bit and tightens his grip around me protectively.As I strive to inhale his odour which can make me fall asleep in no time, I feel the phone vibrating under the pillow.Damn!I'll have to switch it off before Christian wakes up. He has been toiling all day and he deserves a good sleep.I squirm in his arms carefully and take the phone out. Aiming to switch it off, I find a message from Adrian. What does he want?He couldn't help telling me everything a

She rolls her eyes."Are you going to take a bath?" I ask, smiling at her."Yeah. That's what I do every morning""Cold one?""Yes," she frowns."Have you taken your towel?""Yeah," she looks irritated with my dumb questions now. But I love that freaking irritated face.&n

IvannaAs I told Adrian, I reached the firm after my classes ended. Everyone kept asking me why I left suddenly yesterday to which I had no answer. Adrian didn't show up the entire day which was a kind of relief.I'm assured that he's not going to trouble me but the awkwardness will surely gonna kill me off. I wonder how things can change overnight.Just a day before I knew about him, I was still adamant in my place with a bunch of things to tell that person. But when the moment came, I ran away from him.Sometimes I feel, it wasn't overnight. The change happened to me gradually but I kept giving myself false explanations that I'm still into him. At this moment, or even in the future, I'll never te

She has sworn to make me conscious about spending money as she does.I tilt my head and look back at her peacefully sleeping inside the blanket. She has been sleeping for an hour now though she told me she wasn't gonna sleep and stay awake until I leave. We talked for two long hours but the little tired soul had enough and fell asleep in my arms.I'm gonna miss her so much, especially the way she sleeps comfortably in my arms every night.

Mr. CEO, Marry Me On Conditions [The CEO's Replaced Bride] Epilogue
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

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.

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.
