Ding...Dong... My eyes are slowly open to the sounds of my doorbell. I didn’t expect any visitors today so who is it? I ignore it and try to go back to my dreamland but that annoying sound didn’t stop. Maybe, it’s important so having no choice, I get up on the bed half-sleep with my eyes still closed, I don’t have enough sleep yesterday so I’m a little grumpy. Today is a weekend so I’m hoping I could sleep more but unfortunately; this damn doorbell rang. I opened the door and am ready to scold the person who disturbed my sleep. Once I fully open my eyes my mouth drops open, what a beautiful creature in the morning. I forgot that this person is the culprit why I'm wide awake now and disturbed my sleep. He has this dazzling aura that draws me in, he looks so fresh in the morning. He is tall and I almost looked up. His deep brown hair is short and neat. He spoke and my eyes trail to his red and soft lips. He made me feel weak just only of his gaze. I didn't notice my grip on my door tig
“Did I embarrass myself in front of Isaac? I never thought I will be having a hot neighbor like him”. I hope he didn’t think that he has a weird neighbor. I went back to my bed and tried to fall asleep again but unfortunately, I couldn’t my mind was active but my body was lazy. I remain lay and decided to read my favorite author books to pass the time before I will get up and made my breakfast. It’s a weekend so I feel a little disappointed because normally, I spend my weekend sleeping for half of the day but now I can’t do it and you already know why. I took my breakfast and planned for general cleaning after. I don’t have a massive plan for my weekend so normal routine again. Sleep, Eat, Clean, and Read. That is my weekend but unfortunately for my work, there is no weekend at all. I am always on call even I don’t want to. My authors can be a handful sometimes. So having no choice I attended them. After I finish everything, I thought of going to the supermarket. I need some ingredi
"Waaaaaahhhng Waaaaahhhng". "Oh shoot", I opened my eyes disoriented, and realized it was just my alarm. I turned it off and was planning to go back to sleep but I remember I have a meeting today and it's still the weekend. "Holy moly where's the justice when you still need some sleep but you can't get it even on the weekend". I started to prepare myself and after having breakfast I headed to the office. "Good Morning Ms. Wright". Greeted by our security guard. "Good Morning Mr. Ben, how's your weekend? Is everyone inside? "Good Ms. Wright only Ms. Cruz just arrived a few minutes ago". "Okay, I have to go then, see you around Mr. Ben." waving goodbye. When I enter the conference room, I saw Ms. Cruz organizing everything for the emergency meeting. "Ms. Cruz good morning." Good Morning, Ms. Wright, you are early do you need anything? "No, it's okay go on don't mind me here I will wait for the other directors to come". I sat on the last corner of the table and open my laptop to ki
“Good morning sunshine”. I greeted myself, it’s Monday and it’s going to be a long day. I start my morning routine and headed to the office to prepare for my meeting. At the elevator “Wait”. I heard someone shout when the elevator going to close so I hold the open button to wait for the person. “Sorry, thank you for holding it up”. The person said that I’m not familiar with it. He step inside and another person showed up, it surprised me a little it was my hot neighbor, Isaac. “Good morning Bettany”. Isaac greeted me with a smile “Good morning”, I shyly greeted back. I didn’t expect I will bump into him again this morning. “Are you heading to work? He asked plastering his full smile. “Yes, I’m on my way”, he has these perfect white pearl teeth that showed when he smiled, what an amazing morning I thought. “Are you heading somewhere? I asked him. “I’m heading to work as well and this is my assistant Jeff he just arrived yesterday night”, Jeff this is Ms. Bettany Wright my neigh
“By the way Bett, I heard that you have a new owner and CEO of this company. Caleb asked “Yes actually Mr. Smith surprised us this weekend, he just told us and now we are still in an adjustment period although there are no changes in management except from our CEO”. I answered while waiting for the elevator to stop on our floor. “Oh, so how is your new boss look? Is he good-looking like me? he teases “Come on Caleb he’s looked far than yours, hahaha. I tease him back “I see so you’re eyeing your boss, is he that good-looking? “Stop your nonsense, Caleb, if someone hears you, they might believe it. I don't have the guts to have an eye on him. hahaha". “Okay, but why you’re blushing? Don't tell me he is your style?”. Ha, ha, ha, “No, it’s just hot here are you not hot, stop teasing me, Caleb”. The elevator dings and opened and I stopped. Caleb had already gone inside but I felt my feet get numb and freeze, I was stuck where I am when I saw who was inside the elevator. My face blu
Isaac POV When the elevator opened her smile and laughter come into my sight. Why I felt bad that she smiled at someone, not at me. I need to get a hold of myself. She stared at me but why do I think she’s awkward? She greeted me and I greeted her back. I got a little annoyed when her companion started talking. Who is this guy by the way? Why do they seem so close? Never mind it’s not my goddamn business anyway. The elevator opened and they come out first. “Mr. Jones, the car is waiting”, Jeff reminded me. I just stare at him, the driver opened the car and I get in. We arrived after a short drive at the Italian Restaurant that Jeff found. Bettany is still on my mind when we entered the restaurant then Jeff asked me. “Mr. Jones, look Ms. Wright is also dining in here." I followed Jeff’s eyes and saw Bettany situated on the corner with the guy at the elevator. So they’re having a date then. I suddenly lost my appetite for what I saw. Jeff and I settled on the table far away from the
I reached home late in the evening and I was exhausted. I went straight to my bed and wanted to change my night clothes and retired for the day but when I lay down on my bed I didn't notice I fell asleep immediately. Ring, Ring, Ring... I jolted from my sleep and picked up the phone. "Hello", I answered with a sleepy voice. "B are you sleeping already? my best friend questioned. "Yes, but thanks to you I am all awake now, why did you call this late? I answered with a grumpy voice. "Sorry B, I thought you would be still awake I just want to catch up with you today but it looks like you are damn tired". her voice got sad. "It's okay T, I'm awake now and it will be hard for me to go back to sleep at any moment, tell me how's your day gone? I went out of my bed and went to the bathroom to change my sleepwear dress. While I'm changing I switch it to the speaker phone and listen to my best friend. She told me all the details that happened to her for the whole day. After I changed I w
“Good morning Carol, I greeted my assistant. Do I have a scheduled meeting for today except for Mr. Emerson? “Good morning Bett, you don’t have any meeting after Mr. Emerson. Is there anything you want to add? “No, it’s okay, when Mr. Emerson comes, let him in at my office”. “Okay, do you need anything? “Nothing, I’ll be heading to my office now. --- Knock, knock … “Come in, I answered at the door. “Good morning Bett, I brought your usual coffee”. Cole greeted with coffee in his hands. “Good morning Cole, come in and have a seat, oh thank you I forgot to ask Carol for this one you’re my savior.” I dramatically said. Cole and I both settled in my small meeting area. We started to catch up first before we discuss our agenda for today. “Cole I’m sorry yesterday, it really slip on my mind about our meeting. You know Caleb is so persistent, he doesn’t accept any rejection from me. Our meeting took longer than I expected and I don’t have any choice but to accompany him at lunch.
Bettany POV It’s been four years since our lives changed completely. After I wake up in a coma, I focus on my rehabilitation to recover my strength easily. Isaac has been on my side every step of it. He didn’t leave me no matter how I assured him that I was already okay and I had fully recovered after two months of my rehabilitation. I come back home where my little bundles and our whole family waiting for me. They gave me a warm welcome once again. Tamara and Bryan are now married and have a 2-year-old daughter Amelie. Ryle and Hannah also have a 1 one-year-old daughter Ria and a 3-year-old son Matt. Avery and Dallin are now engaged and they will get married next year. Alice and Ian have another 3-year-old son Xander and Baby Zoe is 12 years old now. My family and friends are getting bigger and bigger now. We’re happy that everyone is happy with their own life. Everything is falling into its place and no one is behind. “Momma”. Aki ran towards me crying. “Hey, what’s wrong little
“Why are you crying like a baby, love? I suddenly heard a familiar and hoarse voice when I looked up at my wife. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. My wife stared at me with pain on her face. She's trying to lift her hands but I can see how she's struggling. I woke up from my stupor and rang the bell to call the nurse and doctor. "How are you feeling, princess? Do you need anything? I asked and wiped my tears discreetly. I couldn't describe how I'm feeling right now. It's kind of overwhelming that finally, my wife came back to us. "Water, love". she uttered dryly and I got up for water and assisted her in drinking. I shifted our sleeping twins to their crib beside my wife's bed and Dr. Pierce arrived with his assistant in no time. "Mrs. Jones, finally you awake. How are you feeling at the moment? Dr. Pierce said to check up on my wife thoroughly while I'm standing and watching from the side. I couldn't even blink my eyes because I was afraid that if I closed my eyes and opened th
It’s been six months since my wife gave birth to our little bundles and it’s been six months that my wife is not on our side. She’s still in a coma at the hospital but she’s not in the ICU anymore we shifted her to the VIP room already. She can breathe now on her own without the machine’s help. Dr. Pierce said that all her vitals are getting good and all we can do now is to wait for her to wake up on her own. It’s been six months since my life changed totally I fight the battle where I’m not sure I could win. I can’t give up without a fight that's all I can tell myself. I handed the full authority to all my business temporarily to my sister. I needed to focus on my family, I couldn’t leave my wife’s side and our little bundles needed me. I need to be stronger for them. I will make sure that the time will come when my family will be complete and happy once again. Aki and Amell are very active now. They can crawl and start to babble some baby words. My family lives with me temporarily
Isaac POV The moment I heard the cry of our baby I couldn't explain how happy I felt inside. This is the moment my wife and I've been waiting for the few past months. Our little bundles can finally see the world. I’m so delighted to see both of them and hold them in my hands. But the happiness I’m feeling right now didn’t last long. I can feel something weird is happening to my wife from the way she’s talking to me. “Love, get our little bundles, make sure you will take care of both of them. Love them the way you love me. I’m tired now I think I need a rest. I love you always and forever, remember that”. my wife said and I realized her eyes were shutting slowly I panicked when I heard the unstable sound of the machine. I handed the twins to the nurse without care for anything else but my wife. “Princess, hey, Dr. what’s happening? I said trying to talk to my wife but she was not responding. The delivery room now is in chaos and I don’t know what’s exactly happening to my wife. “Mr.
“Ah, Ah”. We’re on our way to the hospital and I’m trying to endure the pain and hide it from Isaac but I can't, when the contractions hit me I can’t help but just scream in pain. I know Isaac must be worried right now but I can't help it. “Princess, inhale, exhale we’re near in the hospital now. Everything will be alright. I’m sorry I made you feel this way, we’re not going to have kids anymore after this just hold on, okay we’re near, we’re near now”. Isaac said, but in every word, he said now I don’t care about it anymore at this moment. All I care about now is the pain to go away I’m feeling and seeing my little bundles. Finally, we arrived at the hospital and Dr. Pierce was already on standby. They pushed me into the delivery room and I’m scared now. I hold tight to Isaac’s hand, I need him inside the room to be my strength. “Don’t worry, princess. I’m not going anywhere I will be with your side to welcome our little bundles. Don’t be scared I’m only here and any minute now we
It’s been a while since we knew we were having twins. From the day we revealed the gender of our little bundles our family didn’t stop giving us a gift for the twins. Isaac decided that we needed to shift to a bigger place since we were now having a kid. He bought a house near to my parent’s place and we already shifted thereafter a month after our gender reveal. We started decorating the rooms of the twins and being prepared for their birth. Yeah, finally anytime soon in this coming week, we can already meet our little bundles. Isaac decided to work from home again he doesn’t want to leave by my side especially anytime now I could give birth to our little bundles. “Good morning, princess”. he greeted me when I opened my eyes from sleeping. He has already freshened up and just waiting for me to wake up to have our breakfast and do our morning routine. “Hmm, good morning hubby”. I groaned greeting him. I couldn't move properly now because of how big my tummy is. I always need Isaac’s
“Love, are you excited? I asked Isaac coz today we’re going to my monthly check-up and we will find out the gender of our little bundles. “I am, princess. I couldn't wait to know it. Do you have gender preferences in your mind? He asked. “None exactly, all I wanted is for them to be healthy. I don’t even care if they’re both male or female coz I will love them both no matter what”. I said lovingly. “Hmm, me too, princess. All I wanted is for all of you to be healthy. That’s all that I've been praying for”. he said and he walked towards me and kissed me on my temples and he kneeled to kiss my big baby bump. “By the way love, we still need to wait till evening before we know the gender. Our families are throwing a party and they want it to be a surprise to all of us so we can’t directly ask Dr. Pierce to say it to us”. I said reminding him. Avery planned a gender reveal for our twins this evening so we have a family gathering once again. “Yes, princess. For the hundredth time, Mom a
Bettany POV It's been a month since Dr. Pierce advised me to have full bed rest for the stability of our little bundles. To make sure they become healthy I follow Dr. Pierce's advice. Every day of the past month I've only left our bed when I'm going to use the bathroom but with the help of my husband. He didn't make me walk and he was afraid that I was going to bleed again. I understand his worry so I didn't argue with him. It feels like we're both in House Arrest but mostly bed arrest. In this past month, he didn't go to the company as well. He instructed Jeff that if it was only an urgent matter that needed his attention, that was the only time he could report to him. He didn't leave on my side 24/7 so our life in the past month only revolved around our bed. He made sure I didn't get bored as hell, he entertained me as much as possible. He always talked to our little bundle and that made him more adorable. He's going to be the best father to our twins that I'm really sure of. "Lov
Isaac POV “Dr. Pierce, how’s my wife and my twins? I ran anxiously when I saw the door of the emergency room open and Dr. Pierce came out. I can hear my heart thumping loudly. Am I ready to hear what he will say? What if. No, don't think like that Isaac. My princess and our little bundles are stronger than I know. Nothing gonna happen to both of them." I said to myself. I'd never been scared of my life before but when I saw my wife had blood in her hands I felt someone tagging me once again in the dark. I repeated telling her that everything would be fine but the truth is I'm not actually sure of my words either. I need to be stronger for both of us. It's not the time for me to give in to the darkness. I have a wife who needed me to be her strength. No matter what happens I need to be stronger for both of us. "Mr. Jones, I'll be honest with you. It makes us have a hard time stopping the bleeding but we are lucky that you arrived on time. Mrs. Jones and your child are both safe and o
