My fingers fly across the keyboard as I prepare a new marketing strategy for Liam’s family business, my eyes narrowing in concentration. It is just a draft — something that I will need to present to him and Nico.

To have more time to care for Andy, all the consulting I’m doing for them is done in the nursery. Not to mention the recruitment for Champion Music.

“Mommy,” Andy calls, scampering around the room while pulling the big plushie with her. It’s been a year, and it looks old, but she still loves it.

“Beary has a wound.” She shows the tear on the plushie’s hand and adds, “Fix, fix.”

“Okay, sweetheart,” I reply, pausing to give her attention. “What happened to this?”

She purses her lips. “I’m not being careful, so he got wounded.”

I sigh. “I will fix him later. So, will you put him in that chair for the meantime?”

She grins. “Thanks, Mommy!”

As Andy places Beary back in his assigned seat, I turn my attention back to my work. After a while, the door swings open and Liam comes

    After some passionate moments in the bathroom, we are finally able to let each other go. We step into the dining room, only to meet an unannounced visitor. “Nicco!” I exclaim. “It’s too late already.” “Well, there is some emergency,” he says, his eyes darting back and forth between me and Liam. “What is this emergency?” Liam asks. “Not ‘what’, but ‘who’,” he corrects. His eyes go to the receiving area. “Scarlet’s in there.” Liam tenses and frowns. Sensing his distress, I say, “Go ahead, Liam. I am fine.” “This emergency,” he starts, meeting my eyes. “This Scarlet is my ex-wife, Cassie. So, I think you should meet her.” “Oh,” I mutter, not knowing what to say next. “Please?” he prods on. “Okay, I will come with you,” I say. Liam and I walk towards the receiving room, with Nicco following us. The instant the door opens, Liam asks, “What are you doing here, Scarlet?” When the woman named Scarlet faces us, I freeze by the door. This ex-wife is like an ethereal goddess on earth.

    “Scarlet, just leave. I told you, we don’t need your help.” Liam turns towards me and adds, “Cassie, you don’t have to—” “Is it true?” I ask. “That you are controlling the press against saying bad things about me? About what I wear? How I look?” “You don’t need to know about it—” “Yes,” Nicco interjects. I shift my attention to him. “How bad is it?” “Really bad,” Nicco admits. Liam moves in front of me. “Cassie, you don’t have to do it. It’s all okay. Just be yourself. People doesn’t need to accept that you are my wife.” “And what of our child? When she grows older?” He frowns. “What do you mean?” “If her mother doesn’t know all these things, how will I be able to teach her?” “Cassie, I—” I push him aside and face Scarlet. I need to do this even if she might snatch Liam from me. Now is the perfect opportunity. And so, despite being nervous in front of an alluring predator, I say, “What should I do?” Scarlet grins. “I guess you are perfect for my ex-husband, huh? Always rea

    I stand on top of the grand staircase, my fingers nervously gripping the railing. The chandeliers cast a golden glow on the opulent room below me, filled with elegantly dressed guests chatting and laughing. Smooth jazz music floats through the air, accompanied by the clinking of champagne glasses. “Staring won’t make it any easier,” Scarlet whispers from behind me, a knowing smirk playing on her lips. She glides up beside me, her eyes sparkling like the diamonds that adorned her neck. “Relax, darling,” she continues, her voice as smooth as silk. “This world may seem intimidating at first, but you’ll learn how to navigate it.” “Easy for you to say,” I mutter, my palms growing clammy against the railing. Scarlet calls this—one of the socialite events. She was invited and I am her plus one. That means I also need to be in a designer dress and heels, all paid for by Liam. I don’t like it. I feel like an impostor—a girl playing dress-up in clothes that didn’t belong to her. I sigh. It’

    Liam presses a kiss on my forehead. I smile as I lay my arms across his chest. He shifts and wraps me in his embrace, where I feel safe and loved. I close my eyes and let out a contented sigh. “What are you thinking about?” he asks softly. “Sometimes, I can’t help but think about what motivates Scarlet to help me with all these lessons,” I say, my voice barely a whisper. “Hmmm,” he mutters. I feel his hand rubbing my back in a soothing manner. “She wants to reconcile.” I turn my head to look up at him. Reconcile? Does she want to go back with him?! “She wants to make amends for her past mistakes. Be with Lukas a bit more and help me out as a way to say that she regrets cheating.” “Is that right?” I ask, my voice filled with tension. To hide it, I snuggle closer to him. “Are you jealous?” he suddenly asks. I did not respond. “You don’t have to, though. She won’t come between us, and if she ever tried, she won’t succeed.” “Hmmm.” “Do you still have some extra energy?” “For wh

    I stand in front of a full-length mirror, but all I see is a reflection of a stranger clad in a shimmering evening gown with her hair swept up into an elegant chignon. Scarlet moves behind me like a phantom, adjusting the fine strands of jewelry around my neck. The cool jewels feel like chains that suffocate me. “Remember to hold your head high, shoulders back and always make eye contact,” she instructs, and I wonder how often did she attend these kinds of events before. “There’s my pretty wife,” Liam comments. He enters the room and smiles at me. “Andy’s asleep,” he adds. I nod. Since Lukas has classes, we hired a nanny for tonight—albeit Lukas’ annoyance. He seems to not want any third party taking care of his stepsister. He is even planning to get work or build businesses close to our home. “Scarlet, can you leave the two of us in the meantime?” he asks, walking toward me and pressing a kiss on my cheeks. “I just want to appreciate how beautiful my wife is.” “Fine, but don’t m

    As the night wears on, Liam introduces me to countless people—some of them are prominent names within his social circle. This time, I attempt to make small talk. Even if I’m not able to remember all their names, I manage to make polite conversation whenever they look in my direction. “Let’s get some food,” Liam whispers. I nod, and like the rest of the guests, we move to our assigned tables. There is music playing in the background, but the delicate clink of silverware and random conversation drowns it. “How’s the foie gras?” Liam asks as he glances at my plate. I take a bite and the velvety richness of the dish starts to quell the nervousness that’s consuming me. “Oh, this tastes quite lovely,” I admit. He grins, probably at my choice of words. He leans closer and whispers, “Do you know that I have been controlling myself for the entire night?” “From what? This rich scent of gourmet dishes?” I ask, continuing with the weird choice of words, even when I know exactly what he is c

    The laughter of one high society woman rings through the opulent drawing room. Now that Scarlet is nowhere, I am free to compare her with all the other women who flutter around like some lovely butterflies. It’s obvious that Scarlet is the most exquisite, though. She’s high on the pedestal compared to these women. I sigh and fidget in my seat, both at the same time. I am wearing a lovely evening gown again with delicate lace—something that I need to be careful about or I will tear it. “Relax, my dear wife,” Liam whispers as he kisses the side of my head. Looking up at him and seeing an encouraging smile on his face, the knot in my stomach disappears. I smile back at him. “Thank you,” I whisper. “Want some of this drink?” he asks, sipping champagne from a crystal glass. “It’s delicious.” He leans closer to me and adds, “Not as satisfying as you are, though. In bed, all disheveled and trembling.” “Liam!” I scold. Still, I take my own glass and sip on it. It really is delicious. I

    My heart races as I glare at Scarlet. She is as angry as I am. My breath comes in short gasps, and on the contrary, Scarlet is looking as lovely as ever. Her flushed cheeks only accentuate her looks, and it didn’t help one bit with all the emotions brewing inside me. “Do you really think I am out of place on their lives?” I ask, my voice barely audible as I keep my tone in check. “Yes, you are. You need to think about what kind of partner you are to Liam and what kind of mother you are to both Lukas and Cassandra.” I narrow my eyes at her. She has no right to say that! “I—“ The door creaks open and Lukas comes in. I tense and shift my attention to him. “Mom? Cassie?” “Why are you here early, Lukas?” I ask. “It’s still Friday morning.” “Some emergency from our professor,” he answers, his eyes on me and I can see it filled with concern. “I came early for Andy. Are you okay?” he asks. I will be, I’d like to say but only said. “Yes, I am fine. Your mother and I just had an argumen

    ********* A FEW YEARS LATER *********** I run my hand over my bulging stomach, savoring the warmth of the afternoon sun as it filters through the living room window. I am close now. The doctor says that any day this week I will give birth to a boy. Nearby, Lukas and Alinn teach Andy how to play a new board game, while Liam hovers close by and places snacks and drinks on the table. “Are you okay? Anything you need?” Liam asks. I grin at him. “I need my husband to sit beside me and hold my hand.” Liam’s face softens, and he nods, quickly making his way over to the couch beside me. As he sits down, he takes my hand in his, his fingers lacing through mine. I lean into him, my head resting on his shoulder. He wraps an arm around me, holding me close and kissing my forehead. This time, I am not afraid. Because now, I feel safe and loved, surrounded by the people who mean the most to me. We will move forward, because we know now, that we are unstoppable together. ********* ANOTHER FEW

    I chop vegetables for dinner as I note the instructions Lukas jotted down for our dinner. Liam enters the room, wraps his arms around my waist, and playfully nuzzles my neck. “Guess who?” he whispers, his breath tickling my skin. “Could it be... my handsome husband?” I tease. I turn in his embrace, meeting his lips with a sweet kiss before returning to my task. “Any updates on our lovebirds?” Liam asks, referring to Lukas and Alinn. “Actually, they went on a date yesterday evening,” I respond. “I think things are getting more serious between them.” “Good for them,” Liam says sincerely. He leans against the counter, watching me. “Remember how nervous we were when we first started dating?” “Of course,” I laugh. “We are so nervous that we shared a kiss during that same day and even made love when the evening came.” He laughs. “But look at us now. I want to ravish you every time I lay my eyes on you.” I caress his cheeks. “And we’ll do that once we are done with food and shower,” I

    It’s already late in the afternoon when the four of us, Liam, Lukas, Andy and me, start the stroll through the bustling market in Morocco. All the vibrant colors, the tantalizing scents and cacophony of voices are overwhelming. Andy seems to enjoy everything, and she has become very curious. Once, she even asks what the two locals are doing. I explain to her that they are haggling over prices. And every time she sees some exotic wares, she will clap her hands in delight. Something that never fails to put a grin on Lukas’ face. “Mom! Stunning!” Andy exclaims as she points to a beautifully embroidered scarf. Liam chuckles. “It is. You can take what you like, Andy.” Andy squeals and pulls Lukas with her into the shop. On the other hand, Liam takes one scarf and drapes the fabric around my neck. He gazes at my face and whispers, “It really is stunning.” I blush, especially when last night was very hot—too passionate, in fact, that I wasn’t able to get up until it was close to lunch.

    The lush garden surrounds an elegant white gazebo. There are cascading floral arrangements that are draped gracefully over the lattices. Not to mention the sweet scent in the warm air. And beneath the canopy of flowers, I stand with Liam. We are gazing into each other’s eyes as our family and friends gather around us. Everyone is dressed at their finest, chattering excitedly amongst themselves while sipping champagne and nibbling on mouth-watering hors d’oeuvres. My mother is wiping away a tear as she looks at us. My father is beaming proudly at her side. With all our relatives around us, this is a far cry from when we had our first wedding. “Ready?” Liam asks beside me, his voice full of tender reassurance. I nod, my eyes shining with happiness and love. “Friends and family,” the officiant begins. “We are gathered here today to celebrate the love and commitment of Liam and Cassie. Today, they choose to renew their vows, solidifying their bond and reaffirming their devotion to on

    Suddenly, a waiter approaches us and clears his throat. Liam and I look at him. There is an awkward smile on his face. “Apologies for disturbing you, ma’am, sir, but your food is ready. Should I... ahm, send it here? Or should I pack it up or something?” he asks. Given the time to breathe, I reach for my wineglass and take a slow, deliberate sip. As the rich liquid warms my throat, I resolve to face my emotions head-on. “We are going to continue our date night here,” Liam answers while staring hard at me. The waiter gestures for the others to come closer. They set down plates and bowls in front of the table while Liam fixes himself and sits across me. When the waiters leave, Liam reaches for my hand again. “You see, Cassie. You might have forgotten, but this is the anniversary of when we met at that police station. The first time you kissed me.” “Oh.” “You also think that you were not pretty enough back then. That you are undeserving of love.” I purse my lips again. I glance at

    I arrive at the elegant restaurant alone, my heart heavy with the weight of agreeing to Scarlet’s request. Even the soft glow of the candlelight that dances against the polished silverware and crystal glasses on the tables do not improve my mood. The atmosphere is intimate, and it could have been a perfect night with Liam. I take a deep breath, inhaling the rich aroma of seared scallops and garlic butter that fill the air. “Reservation for two under Mr. Chapman?” I ask the hostess who has come to assist me. “Of course,” the hostess replies, leading me to a secluded table by the window. “Your server will be with you shortly.” “Thank you,” I murmur, taking my seat while noting the crisp, white linen napkin and the glasses on the table. I glance around the room. Couples are sharing tender smiles and stealing kisses from each other. The sight only deepens the ache in my chest, reminding me of my earlier decision. “Good evening, ma’am,” a friendly server greets me as he approaches the

    I stand in front of a full-length mirror, my reflection framed by the delicate curve of the gilded edges. I watch the way the smooth silk of my midnight blue dress clings to my body, accentuating my curves and cascading until my knees. Then I adjust the thin straps over my shoulders. The anticipation of my romantic date with Liam is making my heart race. There is a knock on the door and I say, “Come in,” my voice sounding happier. The soft click of heels makes my hand pause on the fabric of my dress. I turn my attention to the guest and see Scarlet looking me up and down. I purse my lips at her beauty. She is definitely a sight in yet another red dress–a contrast to her creamy skin. Scarlet’s eyes take in every inch of me, appraising me like a predator sizing up its prey. “Hmmm,” she mutters. “You are starting to look the part of being Liam Chapman’s wife.” “I am his wife,” I tell her. I am just not sure until when. “It’s a pity, really,” she says, her voice dripping with sacchar

    Last night, I was dreaming about Lukas and Liam’s laughter again and I woke up with a mix of love and fear. I sigh. This is just fine. I know that my decision to distance myself is for the best. “Momma, Lukas?” Andy asks, still stuttering. “Tomorrow, dear, okay? Your brother will come here to play with you.” She nods and takes hold of a doll. Lukas has gone to the beach with Scarlet. As for Liam, he decided to finish his work in the office. “For today, it’s just you and me...” I whisper. “And probably, in the future too.” I settle in the chair and my gaze lingers on the family photos adorning the walls. Most of it are pictures of Lukas and Andy, but there is also Alinn, Liam, and me. I really do miss doing activities with them. When my eyes fill with tears, I blink them away. I chose this. I should not be sad about this. I have to be stronger than this. More unfeeling than this. I can walk away, just like how I escaped from all the men and drama around me before. They said it bef

    “Are you okay, love?” Liam asks. He is on top of me, still panting from the pleasure we just shared. I smile at him, attempting to hide the turmoil raging within me–anxiety that I only feel every time we stop drowning in our pleasure. “I am fine,” I lie. Liam’s piercing eyes search mine, but instead of pressing further, he brushes a stray strand of my hair behind my ear. “I am not such a skilled conversationalist, but please know that I will listen to you, any time you want to talk about something.” I beam at him and I hook my arms around his neck. “I always see you as a great communicator, though.” “Maybe I communicate my love for you in bed? Where you will feel it the most?” he asks, playful now. “I think we should wear our clothes and pause from communicating in bed. I need to check up on Andy.” He presses a kiss on my neck. “Lukas and the nanny are here. Stay a little more in my arms.” I giggle, but then I push him away from me.
