View MoreRichie walked into the house, his mind still thinking about everything that had just happened. The exchange of words with Mrs. Janet still burned in his chest, but more than that, the thought of Leah walking out, upset and hurt, was all he could focus on.Richie stood in the doorway for a moment, watching her. The soft glow of the lamp cast shadows on her face, making the sadness in her eyes even more apparent. His heart ached seeing her like that.Taking a deep breath, Richie stepped into the room. “Leah…”Leah didn’t turn to face him. Her eyes remained fixed on the screen, though it was clear her mind was miles away.Richie sat down on the couch next to her, close enough to feel her warmth but careful not to touch her just yet. He didn’t know if she wanted that from him right now.“I’m sorry,” Richie said softly. His voice was sincere, “I’m so sorry for everything that happened today.”Leah’s lips trembled, but she still didn’t look at him. Her voice was barely a whisper when she fi
The aftermath of Mrs. Janet’s cruel remarks has spoilt the usually cheerful atmosphere and the family gathering was now shattered, leaving everyone on edge. Mrs. Janet, however, sat on the couch with a smug look on her face, oblivious to the damage she had caused.Richie stood at the edge of the room, his fists clenched at his sides, trying to calm himself down. Dazzle stood next to him, giving his shoulder a light pat.“She’ll come around,” Dazzle muttered. “Leah just needs some time.”Richie didn’t respond. Thinking of a way to apologize to Leah and his plans was almost crashing down.. Then there was Mrs. Janet. Sitting there, acting as if she hadn’t just thrown a bomb into his life.The woman had pushed everyone’s buttons all day. From criticizing the food, to commenting on the decorations, and finally the cruelest thing, questioning his kids. It was like she’d been on a mission to ruin the day.Mrs. Janet wasn’t done though. As she tapped her glass with a perfectly manicured nai
Leah stood up from the couch, stretching her legs after sitting for too long. Now, she just wanted something sweet to help her relax better.As she made her way to the kitchen to grab some fruits, she overheard voices coming from a corner of the living room. She paused when she recognized one of them.It was Mrs. Janet again, and this time, her tone was even nastier than before.“I just don’t get it, Leo,” Mrs. Janet was saying to her husband, her voice low but filled with venom. “Are you even sure those kids are Richie's? I mean, think about it".."What if that woman called Leah pinned them on him? Or worse, what if she did some kind of charm to make him believe they’re his? You know how women like that can be, with her smooth skin and curvy hips that she keeps showing off. What if he needs saving, and he isn’t speaking up?”"Shut your mouth, woman! How on earth did I end up with a loose mouth like you? Do you think at all?".. Mr. Desmond Leo yelled.Leah froze, her hand tightening a
Richie was sitting with Leah, his arm draped around her as they shared a quiet moment amidst the noise, feeling content with his family and where he came from..But as always with big family events, there was bound to be some drama.It started when Mrs. Janet came over and sat across from them ... .staring at the both of them strangely. "Why is she staring like that?".. Leah mumbled, rubbing Richie's knee. Trying not to make her whispering obvious."I don't know"... Richie shrugged. It didn't take long before she started talking.“Richard,” Mrs. Janet began, her voice cutting through the chatter around them. Richie looked up, his smile faltering slightly as he saw the expression on her face. He knew that tone. Something was coming, and it wasn’t going to be pleasant.“Yes, Auntie?” he replied cautiously, trying to keep things light.Mrs. Janet wasted no time, her eyes narrowing as she leaned forward. “I’ve been meaning to ask you something for a while now. Why did you leave Gracy?”R
The following morning was the big day, the family get-together everyone had been waiting for. Each family had spent the previous night packing and making sure everything was ready. Now, the day had finally arrived.Dazzle and Kimberly pulled up in their car, with Kimberly glancing nervously at Dazzle. She hoped the day would go smoothly without any awkward moments.“Are you ready for this, ready to be introduced to everyone?” Dazzle asked, glancing over at her.Kimberly gave a half-smile, trying to hide her nervousness. “As ready as I’ll ever be. It’s not every day you meet the entire extended family in one go.”Dazzle chuckled softly. “Yeah, they can be a lot, but you’ll be fine. Just stick by me, and you’ll get through it.”They stepped out of the car and were immediately greeted by the buzz of activity. Kids were running around, cousins were catching up, and aunts and uncles were setting up tables and chairs. The smell of food wafted through the air, and the sound of laughter fille
Richie and Leah were sitting in the living room, their legs stretched out on the couch after a long day of packing for the family gathering. The house was quiet, the kids were already in bed, and they finally had a moment to themselves.Richie leaned back, rubbing his hands over his face with a sigh. “You know, babe, there’s something I need to tell you before we head over to the family house tomorrow.”Leah turned her head to look at him, her brow furrowing in curiosity. “What’s up? You look like you’re about to tell me something serious.”Richie laughed a little, shaking his head. “Not exactly serious. Just... more like a warning.”“A warning?” Leah sat up straight, looking more interested now. “Okay, now you’ve got me curious. What’s going on? Is everything alright?”Richie sat up as well, resting his elbows on his knees and looking at Leah with a smirk. “I just wanted to say this ahead of time, because you will definitely see it happen. So, you know my family is great, right? Mum
Kimberly’s phone buzzed again, jolting her awake from a restless sleep. The screen lit up with the same unknown number that had been haunting her for days. Her breath caught in her throat as she quickly swiped the message open."Heard you got married. So soon. Don’t you think you’re carrying my child? You know that I'll find you, no matter where you run!"She quickly deleted the message, her heart racing. Her ex-boyfriend’s words echoed in her head, making her feel trapped all over again. He had always been violent, manipulative, and unpredictable. He had promised he would find her wherever she went, and now it seemed like he was keeping that promise.Just then, she heard the door open, and Dazzle walked into the room, looking at her with a curious expression.“Who’s been calling you? Your phone’s been buzzing all night,” he asked, his voice calm but with a trace of suspicion.Kimberly’s heart leaped into her throat. She couldn’t let Dazzle know. Not now, not ever. He wasn’t in love w
The next morning, Leah woke up early, the excitement of seeing her boys making it impossible to sleep in. She stretched in bed and glanced over at Richie, who was still asleep beside her. His arm was draped casually across her waist, his breathing steady and calm. For a moment, she simply watched him, feeling grateful for the life they had built together. Despite all the ups and downs, here they were happy, together, and loved.Carefully, Leah slipped out of bed, not wanting to wake Richie just yet. She knew he needed a bit more rest before the chaos of the day began. As she padded down the stairs, the house felt quiet, but she knew it wouldn’t be for long. The boys would be home soon, and with them would come the energy, laughter, and occasional mischief that filled their lives.Leah headed to the kitchen to see what the maids had made for breakfast, her mind buzzing with thoughts of the family gathering they were planning. She couldn’t help but smile at the idea of everyone coming t
It was a quiet evening at Leah and Richie’s house. The sun was slowly setting.. Leah sat in the balcony, staring into the space absentmindedly, while Richie scrolled through his phone beside her. They both enjoyed these rare, peaceful moments when they could just relax after a long day. Just as Leah was about to ask Richie what he wanted for dinner, her phone buzzed on the coffee table. It was a video call from Richie's parents. She smiled, knowing exactly who it was.“It’s the boys,” she said, picking up her phone. She tapped the screen to answer, and within seconds, the bright, smiling faces of Jayden and Jayson appeared on the screen.“Mom! Dad!” Jayden shouted, his voice filled with excitement.“Hi, Mom! Hi, Dad!” Jayson echoed, waving enthusiastically at the screen.Leah’s heart melted at the sight of her sons. They had been staying with their grandparents for a few days while she and Richie took care of some things at home, had enough rest and time together. But she missed the
