Isaac POV I decided to fly back to New York City. I needed some time to clear my head. Everything happened so fast in Ohio in a good way to the point I felt scared that one day it will be gone again and my past might repeat once again. I’m always excited to see and be with Bettany. Somehow I felt that I’m with my old self again. Because after I broke up with Livy I choose to drown myself in my work. I close myself to everyone. I lost myself from being hurt by someone I love more than I should be. I felt cold inside but when I came to Ohio and meet Bettany I felt warm again and I couldn't explain why. Do I’m ready to embrace all these feelings and go back to my old self and be vulnerable once again? --- “Bub, I’m home,” I called for my sister. She is in the living room watching tv. “Oh my god, Bub you’re finally here. When did you come back, why you didn’t tell me you will come. I miss you, Bub”. my sister uttered with surprise on her face. “I just landed today I came here directl
Bettany POV Our group of friends is still inside the restaurant. They still savoring the fresh seafood on their plate when suddenly my phone rang. I saw Isaac’s name pop up so I answered it regardless of the noise in the background. “Hello, Isaac? I greeted him calming myself. My heart went giddy knowing that I can hear his voice. “Hi did I disturb you? His deep voice echoed in my ears. “No, it’s okay just wait for a second I will go to some quiet place so we can hear each other clearly”. I mouthed to Tamara that I will go out and pointed the phone at my ears. I went to the beachside not too far from the restaurant. “Isaac, are you still there? I asked Isaac making sure he didn’t hang up on me. “Yeah, I’m here. How are you? “Good, actually I’m enjoying myself. You should visit this place in your free time. The Garden of Eden is really amazing. You can relax at the same time you will have a good time.” Me being the cheerful one I excitedly share with him my whole day's activitie
A day passed and we were still at the Garden of Eden. Ryle and I wanted to try the Hiking activities offered at the Garden of Eden. At first, Tamara disagreed with it coz she is not a fan of long walks but in the end, we both convinced her to come along. “Guys I already booked our hiking tomorrow. I think we were accompanied by 3 more groups. It’s going to be more fun”. I eagerly announced to both of them but Tamara is still sulking on the side. “Cupcake, don’t give us that face now. I’m sure you will be enjoying the scenery tomorrow, we will fall in love again watching the sunrise.” Ryle coaxed the pouting Tamara at the side. “Come on we will love this, are you not excited to meet some stranger so that we can be friends once again? I comforted her as well. “Fine, I don’t have any choice now do I? She gives us a sarcastic smile but we both know that she’s looking forward to it as well. We decided to take a rest for today in our room so we have plenty of energy for tomorrow morning
“Guys gather up, it’s time to head back down. Breakfast is waiting for us. Be careful on your way down. Let’s move before the heat chase us down.” Our group of friends started to walk side by side again. Tamara and I walked after our friends and we are the last ones to leave. We were chatting with nothing while walking. We’re in the middle of hiking down when I accidentally step into a small branch of trees and I slide back. I felt my ankle twisted before I landed on my butt. I screamed with an excruciating pain that got the attention of my group of friends. “Hey munchkin, are you okay? Ryle ran back to me and inspected where I got hurt. “I think I sprained my legs and my butt hurts a lot”. “Okay here let me help you, try to stand up and step into your foot”. Ryle help me get up but once I put pressure on my foot I felt too much pain. “Aww, Ryle I can’t, it hurts fu**ing much. I couldn't walk.” “Okay, okay, here hop into my back I will carry you down”. Ryle got down so I can hop
I woke up at my phone alarm, I forgot to turn it off yesterday before I fall asleep. I realized I’m still on vacation coz of my injured ankle. I get my phone to turn off the alarm and I saw I had 10 miscalls from Tamara and 5 miscalls from Isaac. I got a few messages also from them. I read them one by one. I forgot I silenced my phone yesterday. Isaac: Princess, what’s up what’s wrong? Isaac: Princess, are you okay? Isaac: What happened princess, you’re making me worried here. Isaac: Princess. I read Tamara’s message. T: B, Ryle called me are you okay out there? T: you want me to come back? Do you want me to accompany you right now? T: Bettany, answer me. What are you f**king doing, right now? When I read the last message from Tamara, I know she is beyond mad right now. She’s only calling me by my full name when she is that mad at me. I called her to explain everything before she knocks on my door any minute. Ring...Ring... After a few rings, she answered the phone. “Good m
I’m still in the living room engulfed in a deep thought while Isaac cooked in my kitchen. I couldn't believe that Isaac confessed his feelings to me. Is it real or am I still just dreaming? Ring...Ring... A sudden ring of my phone woke me up from my deep thoughts. I saw on my caller I.D. Ryle’s name. I answered it immediately. “Hello, how’s everything there? I’m about to call you but you beat me on it.” “Hey munchkin, a little tired but I’m okay. How are you feeling? how's your ankle? “I’m good don’t worry about me. How’s Hannah? Is she okay now? What actually happened? “Yeah, she’s emotionally stable now. Her parents got into a car accident. Luckily there’s no major surgery just only minor and they’re okay now. She was just shocked when she heard the news and she had a panic attack but everything is okay now.” “That’s great news then, where are you now? “I’m still in the hospital, when I landed I went straight into the hospital. I didn’t see Mom and Dad yet I just informed the
Isaac POV I woke up with a soreness all over my body. I just realized I have fallen asleep on the couch yesterday night while we are watching the movie. I think my body caught up with jet lag and stress. I hope Bettany didn’t mind that I have fallen asleep in the middle of our movie. I’m about to go to the kitchen to prepare some breakfast for Bettany when suddenly her doorbell rang and I was startled. Before I made my way to the door I made sure that I’m presentable enough to the persons behind that door. I opened the door and saw a middle age old couple standing there with different items in their hands. Is Bettany expecting visitors today but she was still asleep at the moment? I’m going to greet them but the old man spoke first. “Who are you? where’s Bettany? “Good morning sir, ma’am, please come in Bettany is still sleeping at the moment. I’m Isaac, Bettany’s neighbor and you could say suitors as well.” I explained to the couple and with my observation, they’re Bettany’s paren
After two weeks of my accident, my ankle healed and I’m back at work again while my parents returned to our home. Isaac started to pursue and show me that his intentions are serious and real. He doesn’t allow me to drive from home to work. We were always having breakfast at my favorite diner before going to the company. When we are at the company I made sure no one sees us. I am still not comfortable when we are at the company. I’m afraid that all employees will look at me differently. It’s also one of the reasons why I couldn't still make up my mind and make it official with Isaac even though I know to myself that I like him more than I should be. Ding...Dong... I opened my door and Isaac was standing outside handsomely in his dark blue suit, looking at me and smiling brightly. “Good morning princess, ready to go? “Yes, let’s go. Ahm, actually I have an early meeting this morning so can we skip the breakfast thing? I hesitantly ask him coz I know he will not going to agree with th
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
