The atmosphere at the dining table looked very lively and chaotic. This time the Sian family made the dining table at Aciel's house more crowded than usual with every chatter that Sian and Aciel's children made who were also eating their dinner deliciously. Every now and then the nosy Louise threw her food at Justice who would immediately burst out laughing because of Louise's behavior which she thought was funny.
"Don't throw your food at Justice, honey." Eden's warning started to get fierce. Once or twice, Eden can still understand it. But if it happened again and again, she definitely had to take a firm stand to warn Louise.
"Justice likes it mom." Louise replied nonchalantly and he almost threw his vegetables at Justice again. However, his little hand was immediately grabbed by Eden and held on the table like it had just been nailed very firmly.
"Mommy..." Louise whined and made a face. But Eden's fierce glare immediately silenced Louise's whimper which was
“Lately I started to feel cramps in my stomach. Looks like my baby's birthday is getting closer." Eden continued to chatter in front of Olivia, who had been standing still on the spot while holding something in her dress pocket. Her arrival today to Eden's house was not merely because she wanted to gossip as usual. This time she really needed Eden to unravel all her problems one by one. "Eden..." Olivia called slowly. Nervousness was suffocating her, who had been nervous since three hours ago. Somehow she will make a confession in front of Eden. But Eden is the only hope she has. At least she could help her think before she turned mad of her own mind. "What's the matter, Olive? Your face looks nervous. By the way where is Justice? You didn't take her with you?" "She's at home with her nanny. I have something to tell you, Ed." "Oh yeah? What's that?" asked Eden enthusiastically. She wanted to look as enthusiastic as possible in front of Olivia
Eden was brewing hot chocolate with full cream milk which felt just right to accompany her cold night when Aciel entered the kitchen to collect the coffee that his beautiful wife had promised. Realizing Aciel's presence behind her, Eden immediately gave a signal without turning her body that she had prepared the man's favorite black coffee on the table. "I'm surprised," said Eden starting the conversation. She turned around with careful movements because of her distended stomach while slowly stirring her hot chocolate which was still steaming thin. “Are you still going to be able to sleep well after drinking coffee?” It was a question that had been lodged in Eden's mind for a long time, but this was the first time she could really ask Aciel. "Sure, why not?" asked Aciel after taking a sip of his delicious coffee. "It won't affect me at all. I've been drinking coffee since I was fifteen." Exactly as Eden suspected if Aciel's body became immune to the e
Olivia had to keep her head down and avoid Scout's piercing gaze who kept an eye on her every move. At the dining table occupied by them, the tension was so suffocating Olivia, who was mostly silent. Only once in a while did she raise her head to talk to Sian when he needed something. But it is undeniable that she still has to serve Scout when the man needs something. At least she had to pretend to be friendly in front of the Scout so that Sian wouldn't get suspicious. “It’s really tasty, Mrs. Markle." "Thank you." Olivia answered curtly without looking at Scout's face. She pretended to be busy cutting the steak on her plate into small pieces. She did this on purpose so that she wouldn't have to look up at the Scout who chose to sit in front of her. “My wife is the greatest chef I have ever known. She can cook anything and makes me really feel at home.” "It's amazing. Men like you should be made comfortable at home. Yeah, there's a lot of temptation o
Isn't this annoying? That's what Sian kept thinking when he had to go back to his house when he forgot to take his wallet with him. Oh my God, isn't he so clumsy? Last night he forgot to put the wallet on the nightstand on his bed. Though usually the wallet never comes out of his trouser pocket and will stay there before he moves it into another trouser pocket when he goes to work. So long story short, last night he just went out to buy snacks at the mini market near the residence. Then he just put the wallet on the nightstand because Justice was screaming in her room loudly, asking him to accompany her to play while eating potato chips. Because of that this morning he was completely unaware that he had forgotten to put the wallet in his trouser pocket, and just left for the office without any worries. It was only when he stopped at the subway to buy hot dogs that he became confused because he couldn't find his wallet anywhere. Luckily he had a hundred dollars in cash which
Silence enveloped the emergency room as Olivia opened her eyes and saw Nathan putting an IV on the back of her hand. "You're strong." "I know." Olivia answered quietly. Her chest was rumbling noisily right now, feeling like it was going to burst out of its sockets as Olivia thought about Sian's reaction after this. “You will be transferred to the maternity ward after this.” "Wait!" Olivia immediately grabbed Nathan's wrist as the man almost closed the curtain beside her and was about to walk out. "Don't tell Sian anything." "You must be kidding." Nathan replied trying to be funny. He was smiling strangely teasing Olivia, but a second later he realized that Olivia wasn't in joking mode. "You're pregnant, and Sian shouldn't know?" “I will say so after being transferred to the treatment room.” "Are you sure?" asked Nathan doubtfully. He didn't see the happy look in Olivia's eyes at all. Instead, a depressed face was clearly visibl
“Ace, can you stay for the day?”Eden took over the tie that Aciel had just pulled out of his cupboard drawer, then she wrapped her arms around Aciel's shoulders coquettishly."Your due is still three weeks away, Ed. Don't use that excuse to keep me at home."Eden pursed her lips in a pout in front of Aciel. She let go of the two hands that were previously around Aciel's neck, then she forcibly pulled Aciel's right hand and placed it on her belly. "The twins are fighting in there, scrambling to get out of their mother's belly first.""I don't feel anything," cried Aciel mischievously, but then he immediately kissed Eden's lips briefly and gently stroked his wife's distended stomach. "Is this a sign you're about to give birth?""Who knows. Maybe yes, maybe no. But today I want you at home with me. Can you, my honey Aciel?” said Eden with a seductive face. She showed her flirtatious smile openly to Aciel. And her naughty hand began
Eden pursed her lips in disgust. With full hostility she looked at Laila who was busy preparing the medical equipment that the woman would use for the birth of her babies. “I want to do it normally,” shouted Eden again for the umpteenth time. Ever since she entered the delivery room two hours ago, she had been begging Laila to let her give birth normally. Unfortunately the beautiful doctor did not allow her to perform normally because her current condition did not allow her to give birth normally. "Honey, Caesarean is not a bad delivery," Aciel tried to persuade beside her who had always accompanied Eden from the start. Of course this time Eden would force Aciel to accompany her to give birth because she had never felt Aciel in her side while giving birth to their children. "When Louise was born I already had a caesarean." Eden scowled at Aciel because the man immediately agreed to Laila's idea to deliver the baby by caesarean section. Swear t
Leticia Crowford, a forty-one-year-old woman who works as a singer in a rundown bar on the outskirts of Las Vegas. Leticia's hair was dyed a fiery red, and she always wore her trademark red lipstick when she sang on a rickety stage whose floors creaked as she stepped on them with her high-heeled shoes. Leticia was definitely not from the upper class, her father was a drunk and gambler, but the leader of a gang of delinquents in the slums on the outskirts of Vegas. Since childhood, Leticia did not have a mother. Her mother ran away after giving birth to her because she couldn't stand her husband's rude attitude when he was drunk. But miraculously, Mr. Crowford was able to raise his own daughter with great affection. Leticia never hated her father, even though he was drunk and gambled. For Leticia, her father was a loving figure who often pampered her. Whatever Leticia wanted was always fulfilled by her father. And Leticia never cared where her father got the things sh
At ten o'clock the twins' birthday party was completely over. All the children looked exhausted and had fallen asleep since an hour ago. Only the adults remained for the final event—drinking until they were drunk, before Aciel dismissed them all and closed the gate tightly. "Everyone asleep?" Eden who was walking down the stairs immediately nodded at Aciel. Her face looked very sleepy at the moment, but she forced herself to get down after putting the twins and their two children to sleep who were so exhausted from the party. “At first Louise was very hard to put to sleep. He whined to go to Hyena and Mark's room." “That kid, the troublemaker. I wonder why he became such a little brat. Hopefully Lean won't be as much of a hassle as Louise will be." "Tsk, who contributed the delinquent gene in him?" Eden pouted. Aciel immediately grabbed his wife's waist to hug and kissed her cheek passionately. Eden who was cranky was fun to tease.
The parking lot was filled with rows of cars that stretched all the way to Aciel's driveway. The vacant lot that Aciel bought three months ago still wasn't enough to accommodate the large number of cars that had arrived today for the twins' birthday party.Olivia was grateful that she came in a taxi with Scout and Justice. She could already imagine that the guests Aciel had invited today would surely be abundant, even though Eden had told her that this birthday party would only be a simple birthday party with few guests. But typical of Aciel, he couldn't possibly invite only a few guests despite his plan."Don't forget the present, honey."She slowly descended while coded Justice to bring a medium sized box with a blue ribbon on it. In fact she was sure that Justice would not forget it. The girl had been fussing over her gifts since yesterday and seemed impatient to give it to Lean and Theo."Mommy, Scout hat is tilted."The girl tugged at the hem
Suddenly everyone became ostracized. It was like living in a foreign place without people who loved him. A week has passed since that very cursed day. In a day he made trouble with two people who had been very meaningful in his life. Aciel showed a completely different attitude since that afternoon. He became cold to him and their relationship seemed stiff, only limited to boss and employee. No more chats during lunch hours or the typical male pervert jokes they usually throw at each other when they happen to both have work in the meeting room for discussion. In the past he and Aciel often took an hour before lunch or after lunch, basically in one day they should have an hour to talk about important things related to the progress of the company. They discussed financial matters, marketing issues, production issues, and anything they could talk about for the betterment of Aciel's company. He and Aciel always analyze these things together before discussing them
Exactly an hour ago Olivia had just finished her conversation with Eden. The woman wanted to know her condition as well as talk about Justice. With a calm voice and mind made as innocent as possible, she talked about Justice with Eden like she is a good mother, who knows very well the growth and development of her daughter. She didn't want Eden to know about her problem with Sian. Even though she was sure Eden knew it and just pretended not to know to respect her feelings, she chose to lie. She plays the role of a good mother. Then in their conversation which seemed very exciting but tasted bland to her, she was told that tonight Justice would stay at Eden's house. Sian apparently told Eden that tonight he would not pick up the little girl. But it's a shame because Sian didn't even tell her that Justice was going to stay at Eden's house. It was very painful to remember her relationship with Sian which was like hell. Their married life is already very toxic. A
Eden pressed the bell on the right side of the wooden door while occasionally giving Louise a sharp look, the main star who likes to make a fuss so as not to keep bothering Justice who was calm beside Ciara. Meanwhile behind her she gave a sweet smile to the twins who looked so enthusiastic with biscuits in their hands because at least this afternoon they were outside the tall and sturdy walls of the Lutherford mansion. "Is aunty Laila at home, mom?" Ciara looked unsure seeing the condition of Hyena's house which was very quiet. But a few moments later they heard the sound of rushing footsteps from inside the house, followed by Laila's screams that were so distinctive and very loud. "Hello! Oh my gosh Eden! You brought this many troops?” Laila chuckled amusedly seeing Eden's group that was so boisterous. Louise who saw Hyena behind Laila's body immediately barged into the house without paying attention to her mother's call, who was so
When Olivia opened her eyes for the first time on this cold quiet morning, she couldn't help but sigh loudly as she stared at the clean ceiling of her room, and always be like that. Intricate carvings placed on the surface of the walls are a very beautiful sweetener to look at every morning. But is it true that these carvings can make the morning more beautiful? The answer is no. There is nothing more beautiful in the morning every day after all these disasters happen to her repeatedly. She can’t rise to stand from the incident. Scout who left her and his son. Then Sian who turned stiffer when he was with her. The man avoided her. So far the man has been very kind to her. Sian did not divorce her at all after that painful incident. Instead, Sian accepted her back as his wife, but only for status. Yeah, her marriage to Sian wasn't the same after the day she was kidnapped by Scout. Sian is no longer her former husband. He has turned into a quiet man who
Olivia opened her eyes slowly when she felt a jolt disturb her deep sleep. The smell of the hospital that she had memorized since she woke up yesterday afternoon made Olivia never completely forget her fate lying helplessly in the hospital."Wills?" Olivia asked hoarsely.Her eyes caught the faint sight of Wills standing awkwardly beside her nursing bed. Where has that man been all this time, Olivia thought in surprise. Yesterday she woke up to the commotion of hospital residents vying to keep her in this crowded world. Then two hours later she was hit by the devastating news that the man in the next room had died. The man named Scout Voyage died from being shot in the left chest. Of course she was devastated when she heard that. After all, they had spent nine months together in good and bad times. The last time she saw Scout was before she went to the Aciel branch office when the man was about to go somewhere because of his very neat clothes. Olivia had no bad thought
"Doctor please, there is a pregnant woman who had an accident!” shouted a nurse who was pushing a gurney that had just been unloaded from the ambulance.The doctor on duty swiftly followed the nurse into the emergency room to do first aid to the pregnant woman. Not long after, an ambulance with a police logo arrived with a man who had a gunshot wound to his left chest."Please help this man, he has a gunshot wound to his left chest!" shouted the police officer a little panicked.The nurse who was initially treating Olivia immediately rushed to take the poor man into the ER.Tonight the atmosphere in the Texas hospital is so tense and noisy, inside there are three humans who are trying to survive, Olivia, Scout, and their child who has not felt how cruel the world is.“Talia, we have to get this baby out immediately. Prepare the operating room now!”"Okay doctor."The nurse and several other nurses immediately pushed
A week after her wedding vows with Scout, now Olivia has officially brought the status of a Voyage mistress, in addition to the Markle surname that she previously carried. The days after the wedding were more beautiful than ever because now Scout always looked at her with love and always devoted his attention to her. Even so, she still has a problem in her heart because Scout and Sian's relationship has not improved. The man is still playing cat and mouse with Sian and continues to play with the man with all his devious plans. And now here she is, in a skyscraper that is a branch of Cadillac Corp. With determined steps, Olivia started to take the elevator to Sian's room which was on the top floor of this building. She was sure that if Scout knew this, the man would be furious with her because she had gone to see Sian without his consent. But she could not let this matter continue to drag on. She was tired and she wanted to end it all now. Knock knock
