LOREN'S POINT OF VIEW
"Javi, please put the gun down." Ace voice came again this time calmer, my heart beating fast at each passing moment as the gun moved back and forth between me and Ace.
"Shut the hell up, that's not going to work again, I am not stupid." He yelled, anger evident in his eyes, one can tell it is only a thin thread that is holding him from completely loosing it.
"You know what? Both of you get the hell up." I slowly got up so did Ace, he pulls me behind him which I didn't like.
I did notice Ace eyes constantly flickering from the ground and back at Javier, I followed his eyes only to see the gun which he dropped earlier.
I froze at the thought of what he's about to do.
Is he trying to get himself killed?
Ace is obviously not thinking straight before he can get to the gun,
FEW WEEKS LATERLOREN'S POINT OF VIEW"Hey." I awkwardly muttered, covering my baby bump with my coat. I slowly bent down holding the flowers on my right hand, looking at the tombstone before placing it on the grass.With a sad smile, I stood up while holding my baby bump."I sat in the car for hours because I didn't think I had the courage to be standing here but here I am, here I am." I repeated. I don't know why I just kept on staring at the birth year and year of death.Too soon."I am sorry, it's all my fault. It's all my fault that you are gone and I can't do nothing about it." I looked up trying to prevent the incoming tears from falling, I promised myself I would not cry but it is becoming harder.My eyes went to the other grave beside the one I am standing on, it's has Ace's dad name boldly written on it."Co
"No Gemma, I have to stay sane for surgery tomorrow." I slipped my pumps off my feet making a mental note to get new ones, a breath of relief passed through my nostrils as my feet were released from the tight cage as we all call "shoes" to the cold floor of my apartment."Come on now, it's your wedding week, you should have taken a break from work." She whined, I looked up wondering why she's my best friend."Healing shouldn't stop because I'm getting married." I packed my hair into a bun, looking at my image on the mirror that's skillfully placed on the wall close to my study table."The world would be fine." She groaned I rolled my eyes walking over to get some wipes to clean off my makeup."Breast Augmentation Surgery takes a lot of focus, I'd be needing my rest." Placing the cold wipes on my face, turning to a pouting Gemma."But the girls are already at the clu
~~~~"You look amazing." Gem's image appeared on the mirror, I shifted aside to have a better view of Gem's dress, she looks gorgeous, the silk material brings out her dark skin. I made a mental note to inform the designer to remove the slit from all bridesmaid's gowns. I tilted my head admiring the dress before focusing on my wedding gown.I nodded in response to Gem's earlier statement, staring at the mirror, studying every detail of the gown. I know I'm supposed to be happy but I'm not maybe it's guilt. Friday's incident won't leave my mind."What's with the face?" I sighed walking towards the dressing room knowing full well that Gemma would come along. I sat on a bench waiting for her in the dimly lit room with mirrors all over.I removed the veil as soon as I spotted Gem from the side mirror."What's wrong Loren?" She sits with me.
~~"Are you alright?" I nervously nodded, moving aside so did Javi giving room for the person cleaning the spilt wine and picking up the broken glass.Javi held my waist with his firm hand making me look up to give the best smile I could conjure at that moment, I looked around purposely avoiding to looking at Ace, I caught some people still staring, I gave an assuring smile to some familiar faces, before facing my current problem.Ace."Pardon me, it must be the striking resemblance that shocked me" I lied, silently hoping that the Ace guy won't say a thing about our encounter.Soon I realized my lie doesn't make sense, resemblance? They lo
~~~~ "You haven't touched your food." Javi's voice brought me back to my miserable reality."Oh, not hungry." I pushed the deliciously looking food aside as I picked up my glass of wine."Too bad, Leonardo went all off on this dish." He muttered putting a piece of the skilfully diced chicken in his mouth, slowly munching on it.I put the glass of wine down as it's taste die on my tongue."So your brother." I trailed off almost regretting my words.Why am I even asking?"What about him?" He looked up at me."You never talk about him" I smiled at a family friend as she passed by. Javi pushed his food aside as well, signaling to the waiter."There's pretty much nothing to say," I muttered a thank you to the waiter before he leaves with our leftovers."Why? You guys don't get along?" Urging him to say more.What can I say? I'm curious."That's an understatement, Ace is a 26
I lazily opened my eyes on hearing a faint knock on the door, I groaned as it was heard again louder this time, My eyes snapped open as soon as reality dawned, I rose up in panic dragging the blanket over my naked chest.Holy shit, I had sex with Javi's brother.I turned around to a sinful view of a sleepy Ace, probably waking up due to the constant knock on the door.Fuck! Someone's at the door.I'm screwed, I sat up ignoring the soreness in between my thighs and the bright light penetrating the curtains."What's going on?" It's frustrating that I find his voice sexy even in this situation I'm in."Someone's
~~~~"I'm not going to pretend that I'm cool with that bitch going against my orders on my wedding day, I was very clear when I said no slits." I pushed my gown along, finally stopping at the balcony. Feeling the cold air hit my face, I breathed out in relief. My room is packed with people, most I don't know from Adam and it's really uncomfortable."Calm down, it's not that big of a deal." I put my arm on the railing admiring the view that my hotel room provided. I know it's no big deal but I just can't stand the Stacy girl or maybe I'm just frustrated, my wedding gown is tighter than normal, my makeup is crappy.At least that's what I think."I hate that you are always kissing her butt." Ever since Sta
~~~~~~I lazily walked downstairs knowing fully well I won't be able to sleep, you won't either if your husband's brother whom you have slept with is two rooms away from yours.I'm going crazy as my mind conjured different questions, why is he here? There's no way in hell I'm believing I have no place to stay shit. What if he's here to threaten me? I should have kept my legs closed. What if Javier finds out? I'm screwed.I closed my eyes in a stupid attempt to let my thoughts go, I finally made it into the kitchen.I switched the lights on, bending my head down because of the brightness of the light, once I got used to it I walked over to the fridge to get something to drink.I held the handle, opening it as the cold air that accompanied the fridge hit my face hard as I stared at the stocked fridge in adoration.I can defiantly get used to this.

LOREN'S POINT OF VIEWHis reaction to my words makes me what to rethink my decision but I have to stay strong if not for me but for the child I am carrying."I understand your decision but if you could just hear me out." He spoke so softly."What do you what to tell me exactly? Hmmm, that you have been lying about Louisa's death, Zach's and you didn't think of giving me a heads up that your brother is a psychopath that killed his ex-wife. But what do you care as long as you can get in my pants." I am pissed, I really don't know what to believe."That's not true, Loren and you know that." He leaves the couch, standing right in front of me."I don't really know anything at the moment." I am tired of everything, everyone."One question Loren, if I came t
ACE'S POINT OF VIEW."Bet you didn't know, Louisa was in love with you, she was madly in love with you right from the start, she was going to leave me because of you." I froze at his words, staring at him in disbelief.Th-that's impossible.I raised my head only to notice the gun being pointed at me.I gulped hard, trying to process it all.He's lying, he has to be.He let out a low laugh, turning the gun back to his head."Always oblivious aren't you, Ace Grey loved by all yet he doesn't know." I didn't know what to say or think."Since we were kids, she loved you more than a friend. Louisa had always loved you and I had always loved her." My breaths soon became forced, realizing how everything is my fault.
ACE'S POINT OF VIEW.I watched her walk out of the club like something heavy just hit hard on my chest, I found my self feeling uneasy at each retracting step.It hurts that I hurt her, I wanted her to feel what I'm feeling by saying those things to her but it just became worse, I feel worse.I'm an ass. It's not her fault that I fell in love with her, it's not her fault at all. All this is my fault.My heart took control of my legs, I found myself outside the club looking for her so that I could apologize, tell her I didn't mean what I said.I finally spotted her car before I could get to it, it started moving. My head is telling me to go back into the club but my heart has other plans.So I got into my car and stupidly followed her all the way back home.
LOREN'S POINT OF VIEW I looked over my shoulders to ensure that Javier is asleep, it's been 2 hours since Ace texted for us to meet. 2 hours of pure anxiety, I'm so anxious as I wonder what he's thinking right now? Is he mad at me?. I have made up my mind I'm going to tell him everything, I don't want to lose him. I just can't. My life is already fucked up as it is, I just want to the runway as Ace suggested. I'm done playing a cop, things are way bigger than me now, I have this lookout for my unborn child. Unborn child. I couldn't help but smile at the thought, I can not think of a better man to be with when welcoming this baby to the world. Excitement replaced my worry, no matter who the father is,
LOREN'S POINT OF VIEW. All I could do was take rapid breaths in and out, feeling like if I don't breathe for a second the weight on my chest will rise up to my throat, tighten it and choke me up until I give out. I sat frozen on the bathroom floor, staring at down at the black tiled floor, fearing that moving an inch would mean facing reality, a reality that I'm damn sure I don't face, I can't face. Many thoughts have run through my head, thoughts I'm not proud off and it's eating me up alive. How can I be this stupid, this can't be happening to me, I don't miss my pills, I mean I don't think I did. Gosh, I'm so stupid. I don't want to be pregnant, I can't be, my life's a mess and its all my fault. I pretty sure the water in my eyes has run dry, totally b
LOREN'S POINT OF VIEW. "I love you." My heart skipped a beat, while processing his words. I stared right into his eyes, my heart hurts just staring at the admiration in his eyes. I tried not to let the incoming tear drop but its hard just staring at the expectation in his expression. I bit my lips in a stupid attempt to ensure that I don't say something stupid, silence filled the room. He broke the stare, the smile that was once on his face disappeared slowly, breaking my heart. What's wrong with you Loren? I finally moved, I slowly placed my arms around his neck, lifting my feet up a little bit, staring directly into his eyes. I leaned in placing my lips on his, he didn't move for a second, my heart beating hard as my closed my eyes, he soon puts his ha
LOREN'S POINT OF VIEWI walked into the boutique, giving a tight smile to the cashier and at the corner of my eyes I spotted Leah, I looked away immediately, pretending to shop.I took out some clothes not paying attention, I walked over to where Leah is at pretending not to see her."Loren?" I turned to feign surprise."Leah," I called out, pulling her to a hug, which is super awkward.Leah could be the key to knowing what job my dear husband is actually involved in. She was able to slip once, I can get do it again."What are you doing here?" She asked."I shop here all the time." I lied."Really? I own this place." I gasped, trying to look surprised.
