Aldrich TimbersI bit my lips hard as I tried calming Chelsea down. I couldn't understand what she was saying.Where had I been last night?What was she saying? I've been home all night. I woke up on my bed so what question was that?I couldn't reply her and she scoffed at me before returning to her cooking. I sighed and rubbed my temple as I glanced over at Anita who was fidgeting on her clothes.“I'll just go stay in the dining” I muttered before leaving the kitchen.I reached out to a chair in the dining room as my hand rammed into my hair. I groaned, trying to remember last night memory and incident but all to no avail. It seems like the more I tried to remember, the more the migraine increased.I sat down, fidgeting on my fingers as I tried harder to remember what Chelsea was insinuating.Damn! Why couldn't I remember?Chelsea came in with a tray of pancakes and a glass of milk. I smiled sadly, hoping she would glance at me for once as she served them on front of me.She turned an
Aldrich Timbers“Chelsea!” I exclaimed, taking her in my arms as I rushed her into the house. Anita ran behind us and Rita also followed.I wanted to put her in her place but Chelsea was more important that moment. I placed Chelsea on the bed and I ran downstairs to call my doctor through the landline phone.I spoke with him before dropping the landline phone. “This is my fault! Damnit!” I screamed and laughed out as I banged on the table.“This isn't any of your fault, Aldrich” I heard Rita say and I faced her with burning anger in my eyes.I rushed to her and grabbed her neck as I felt the urge to strangle her right there and that moment. “You're right. You caused all this! If you hadn't come here and say nonsense! I hate you, Rita!” I yelled at her face, choking her on that spot.Her cries and coughs didn't stop me from hurting her. I felt mad, so mad that I also felt like tearing up. The thought Chelsea in danger with our baby almost made me go crazy.“Let her go, Aldrich! Don'
Aldrich Timbers“Aldrich!” I heard Anita's yell as she kept calling me but I was bent on doing what I have to do. I have to set things right. Chelsea is going through alot and the reason was right in front of us. I hate the fact that I made her miserable, now she doesn't even want to see my face.I zoomed out of the residence heading to the location I sent to Rita a moment ago.****I stopped in a coffee bay before stepping out of my car as I walked inside. I stopped on my tracks when I saw Rita already seated, anxiously waiting for me.A waiter came forward to me and I placed my order as I walked to our reserved seats. The whole place was full so it wasn't left only us.“You're here!” Rita stood up when she saw me and I rolled my eyes in return as I sat opposite her. She smiled lightly before sitting back. Seconds later, the waiter brought two cups of coffee to our table.Rita glanced at the cup of coffee in front of her and back at me. “What's this for?”“Don't think astray. I'm j
Chelsea EnglesI felt my heart getting shattered into millions of pieces when Aldrich dropped the bombshell.“Yes, Chel” He replied again and tears slipped out from my eyes as I stared at him disgustingly.I couldn't bring myself to believe the fact that Aldrich had another woman aside me, but at same time, a part of me still wanted to believe him.“I'm sorry...” He uttered. I could see from his eyes the sadness welling up in them. “You're sorry? Just a mere sorry?” I asked, chuckling as I shook my head in disappointment.“Rita is my ex... But trust me, I don't have any feelings for her. She was my ex before I fell for you,Chel. After the incident of you being held in Mark's captive, and i was slowly loosing myself, that's when I saw Rita again. We actually met at a bar and that's how we got wasted in a hotel. I never imagined that day to come back and hurt me” He said.I was dumbfounded, gob-smacked. I was speechless and numb. I couldn't find the right words to tell him. I was just
Chelsea Engles“Yeah, I and Aldrich were step siblings so what?! Or is it now a crime to be in love!” I replied back at her.“You're just shameless, aren't you Chelsea?” Rita scoffed, folding her hands under her b00bs.“No, you are! You just showed up out of the blues and came back claiming you're pregnant for Aldrich? How thoughtful of you ” I mocked and I could see glared at me with fueling anger.How dare she use step siblings as an excuse against me?“Oh c'mon! Do you also need proof?” Rita replied and I frowned almost immediately.“Just leave!” I fired, trying not to flare up. “I'm not leaving” Rita replied stubbornly.I gave out a crook laughter as I watched her intently. This bitch was really starting to piss me off.“You are not leaving?” I asked irritated.“Obviously” She replied and I hissed.“Forget the fact that I'm pregnant Rita, I can still throw you out of my house!” I half yelled at her.“Pregnant? For who? Aldrich? Oh, don't be silly!” She said.“Don't test my patien
Aldrich TimbersI had just stepped out of the bathroom after getting a cool shower when I saw Chelsea about to stand up.I stared at her with shock in my eyes. I wasn't expecting her to be here after I had that misunderstanding with her.“Chel?” I muttered, still standing beside the bathroom door as my eyes trailed her body, I could see her baby bump.“What are you doing here?” I asked and she finally stopped up. I watched her walk closer to be and I held my towel.“I'm sorry for not believing you, Aldrich” She stated and I froze for a second.For not believing in me? What was she saying? She didn't actually believe despite my explanations?“I almost believed Rita instead of you.” She said again and I kept looking at her, not knowing what to say to her.“I'm not leaving you and there's no way I'll be able to do that. I still love you, Aldrich” Chelsea muttered and our eyes met again.I felt my heart race as her hand met with the side of my face.“I don't knock what to say” I replied
Rita HayworthI barged straight into my mansion immediately I alighted from the car. I was so damn angry that I could murder anyone who tries get on me.Who the hell is Chelsea and what does she think she is?I'm back here for Aldrich, and Aldrich I must get. I don't care about the circumstances or consequences.“Ahhh!!!!” I screamed, throwing my bag on the small glass table in front of me. I felt like breaking something.I walked to the small flower vessel beside the couch, I grabbed it and smashed it on the ground.“Ma'am!” A maid rushed to me and I glared at her.“Come any closer and I'll stab you with the pieces” I threatened and she quickly stepped backwards.I hate where this was going. What does Aldrich sees in her that he doesn't see in me? I mean, I'm beautiful, I'm fucking rich and gorgeous, I have curves and all.The picture of her pregnant for him rammed my head and it made me feel more worse. I grabbed another vessel and made to smash it again when someone held my hands f
Chelsea EnglesTwo days later**“Yes dad, I'm taking good of myself” I answered over the phone as Mr Park drove me to Mum's place.I actually planned on visiting her.“I don't want you to think too much, and keep your baby safe too” Dad said from the other end and I chuckled.Dad and his worries are another thing to worry or complain about.“Okay dad” I replied, rolling my eyes and hung up.“We're here ma'am” Mr Park announced as he stopped the car abruptly.“Thanks” I smiled to him as I alighted the car. I brought out the goodies and other stuffs I brought along. Mr Park also assisted me as we proceeded inside.“Mum!” I shouted as we dropped it on a table.“Yes Chelsea!” Mum shouted back from upstairs. “I'll be down in a jiffy!” She added and I smiled. “Sure!”“I'll go wait outside ma'am” Mr Park said.“Oh please don't address me as ma'am, just call me Chelsea” I drawed and he shook his head negatively.“I'm afraid I can't ma'am” He replied. I sighed as I went to sit on a couch.“
Aldrich TimbersI gawked at Chelsea as she kept playing like a baby in the park with Anita. After much debating, we finally agreed on coming to the park.I'm glad she was smiling again. Chelsea really went through a whole lot for the past few weeks. There are night I feel hurt that I wasn't able to protect our baby. There are times that I kept wishing I was the one who took that bullet instead of Chelsea.“What are you thinking?” I almost flinched when I heard a voice and I turned to see Mum beside me. I smiled at her as I leaned into her and rest my head on her chest like a mommy's boy.“Mum?” I suddenly called.“I'm all ears, son” Mum replied.“Do you think I wasn't good enough to protect our baby? Do you think if I had taken the bullet our baby would still be here?” I asked mindlessly. Mum raised my head from her chest as she stared at me.“Are you serious? Do you think you had taken that bullet you'll be here? Don't blame yourself for what had happened. It's all in the past, focu
Chelsea Engels Days turned to weeks, and today was the final hearing of Rita's case in the law court. I was in my room preparing when Mum came in.“Are you ready, sweetheart?” Mum asked and I gave her a nod.“Of course” I replied. Why wouldn't I be happy?My thirst to see Rita sent to jail filled me that every single day I pray the court grants our request. Rita has to pay whether she likes it or not. I heard about her loosing her baby too, and I thanked God that she was also going through what I was going through.Karma would teach her a lesson that she'll never even live to tell the story.I finished dressing up as I wore my flat sandals before picking up my purse and bag.“Let's leave?” Mum smiled at me and I smiled back.“Yeah” I said. At least I was recovering. I wasn't my old self anymore, things really changes, don't they?We walked downstairs to meet Dad, Aldrich and Anita waiting patiently for us. Aldrich rushed to me when he saw me and I smiled as I took my hands in his.“
Chelsea EnglesDays Later.After getting healed and treated at the hospital, the doctors advised me to stay back and rest but I ignored. I needed to go home. I hated the smell of hospital, and staying there longer only make me hate it the more.Aldrich brought us back home, mum and dad was with me as they kept telling me things to make smile and laugh again but I found it hard to do so. Not after my life was ruined.What I had scared most came to past. We enjoyed resumed back home and I was welcomed with a surprise from Anita and the other residents.“Welcome back home, Chelsea!!!” They all screamed including Aldrich and tears filled my eyes as I watched how happy they looked.How can they still be happy after everything that happened and I find it difficult to move on.“Chelsea?” Anita walked over to me, handling a velvet box to me which I slowly took.I opened it to see a golden necklace.“This was my gift I planned to give you after your wedding” She smiled to me, and I smiled sadl
Rita HayworthI watched as the cops took me to their car. I knew this was the end for me, no one needed to tell me that.I lowered my head as they kept walking me to their cars. I met other cops outside, seems like they all planned to get me today.“Get in!” One of them pushed me in and I groaned as I entered into the car as two others say beside me.Tears fell from the sides of my eyes whenever I remember loosing my baby. Justin would kill me if he finds out about this, and that's why I need to act fast.The cop ignited the car as he drove away. We were already in the middle of the road when I came up with something.“Um, I'm pressed” I suddenly muttered, and the two other cops beside me glared at themselves.“He'll escort you” The one who looked like the elder one said, pointing at the younger one behind me.“We'll go into the bush and in less than two minutes you must be done” He added and I nodded gently.They pulled the car to a stop as the younger coo escorted me to the bushes.
Aldrich TimbersI kept pacing to and fro, trying to keep my mind a focus but the scene of Chelsea getting shot by Rita flowed through me.The doctors were still inside the Emergency room. I won't forgive myself if anything happens to Chelsea in there.I won't give a damn about suing this hospital for not doing their proper jobs.“You have to calm down, Aldrich. All will be fine” I heard dad say behind me.“All will be well? Do you think so? Chelsea is in there fighting for her life! You know her condition” I cried out.“I understand, she's my daughter too. Do you think I want to see her in this position too? Let's just hope for the best” Dad replied, and that moment, Mum came rushing towards us.“Mum!” I exclaimed as I pulled her into a hug, crying on her shoulders. I couldn't hold it anymore. I felt like tearing up.“Shh. Don't say a thing, son. Don't say a thing” Mum whispered as she slowly patted my hair and I sniffed again.I raised my head up before pulling away from the hug. “Ho
Chelsea Engels I stood still in front of the reflecting mirror as I stared at my expensive wedding dress. Today had finally come and I have never been scared as this all my life.Despite my preggy state, the dress huged my body, bringing out my curves. This is it, just a simple wedding as this. In few minutes time I'll finally become Mrs Timbers and not Engles.Who would have thought a step brother's and step sister's love will transpire to this level? After all things, Adrich and I still conquered.The thought of everything brought tears to my eyes and I quickly wiped it off so my makeup won't get ruined. Here I was, about crying my eyes when everyone must have been waiting for me.I glanced at the door when it creaked open and Anita walked in. “Don't tell me you want to tear up now? Don't ruin your makeup” She said, going towards me as she helped adjust my gown.“No, I won't. At least not today” I muttered and chuckled.“You look beautiful” Anita complimented, and I smiled to the
Chelsea Engels “Good to hear that you're ready” Mum muttered.“I've always been waiting for tomorrow to come” I replied and Anita chuckled.“Alright, so shall we go to the cosmetics? To get things you might need for your makeup” Anita remarked.“Make up? What do I need makeup for when I'm already pretty” I moved the strands of my hair to the side and rolled my eyes.Anita rolled back at me.“We know you're pretty, stop fanning it at our faces but still, you might still need makeup for that day... Tomorrow is for you so you need to look good and sexy that when Aldrich sees you, he'll go crazy” Anita demonstrated and I couldn't resist the urge to laugh.“Anita is right. We need to go get your makeup” Mum interjected.“Okay Mum. But I can't go with you guys right now, I'm feeling tired already. My tummy is heavy and I'm finding difficulty to walk right now” I replied.“It's alright. You can stay back and rest. Anita and I will go instead” Mum said, patting my hair softly and I gave a sm
Chelsea Engels I had woken up the next morning, expecting to see Aldrich beside me since he slept beside me last night but surprisingly, he wasn't.I was done with my stuffs so ai moved downstairs to see Anita serving dishes in the dinning.“Anita?” I called when I saw and she looked up at me.“Oh, you're up already. It took you long enough” She chuckled and I smiled."Huh, did you see Aldrich?" I asked.“Oh, he's actually in the kitchen. He's the one making breakfast this morning” Anita replied and my eyes widened.What?! Aldrich was making meal for us to eat? Does he want to poison us or something?“But he can't cook... He'll poison us” I drawed and Anita urged me to rest my ass and forced me to sit down.“He isn't going to do such thing. I'd say you just sit and wait for him a while. C'mon, I've taught him how to cook so I'm sure he'll be great” She assured me and I gave a sickly smile as I waited anxiously.Soon, Aldrich came in with different dishes in his hands and I couldn't h
Rita Hayworth“That was so fun, wasn't it?” I asked as Rochelle and I walked inside, our laughter filling the mansion.“Ma'am is there something funny?” I turned to see Claire smiling at me and I gave her a light smile.“No Claire” I waved off and she smiled again before walking away.Rochelle sat down on the couch as she drank from her cognac.“It was really fun... That ride was one of a kind” Rochelle replied and I nodded in agreement.“Yep!”“But you know what?” She suddenly said, sitting upright to look at me.“What?” I asked eagerly.“Is the fact that we couldn't give Chelsea a taste of our medicine. Aldrich came out of nowhere to protect her” She replied and frowned. I sighed as I rubbed my temple.“She has really charmed him, but I don't know the kind of drugs she used on him. I mean, I'm more pretty than her. I have ass, I have boobs, I have everything so why can't he go for me again?”
