Flashback (Kyle)
He was getting tired slowly with each passing minute. They had again lost the contract. Their furniture pieces were not up to the mark. His carpenters had promised him that they would deliver the best.
But this time, the wood that was used, was of slightly lower quality.
That day when he left the showroom, he knew that a dirty and stinky apartment will welcome him. But it was useless to fight her.
Her pregnancy had made her more cranky and moody. In life whenever he felt low, Abigail used to be there for him.
The thought made his stomach churn in disgust. He made his choice a few months back. Now leaving Chloe meant to give a chance to his relatives and friends to talk on his back.
He entered his apartment and stopped short. She seemed happy and was drinking whisky. It was very rare for Chloe not to feel cranky.
But his mind was blown away when she raised the volume of the TV.
The news channels were telli
Flashback (Hunter) Throughout his flight to St. Lucia, he had been in contact with Abigail. It had been two hours of the flight when he heard the news of her arrest. “Turn the plane immediately.” He barked the orders. The pilots blinked their eyes at such an outrageous request. This was not a damn car! The CEO was asking them to turn the plane as if there was a fuc*kin U-turn ahead. “Sir. We are sorry. We will be needing permission from…” “Do whatever fuc*kin action is necessary.” He shouted and came back to his seat. But now it was getting harder with each passing minute. He had got the best pilots but he could not expect them to transport the plane to San Francisco in the blink of an eye. The moment the plane landed he wanted to break into a run. Costner Alan must have known about it. He was there along with the Chief of Police. “What is going on, Alan?” It was not a question. He was shooting daggers while taking long strides
Flashback (Rafael)After a hectic day of the shoot, he was back in his room. All his friends wanted him to for the Booz. But tonight he was not in the mood.Angela, the female lead role of the movie wanted to accompany him to his room. But he declined straightaway.They had already spent the last night in bed pleasing each other. But tonight he was planning to watch a light comedy movie and then straight to bed.Hunter’s company had taught him to do everything within limits and in moderation. Thinking of Hunter reminded him of Abigail. His second crush. His first crush was his teacher when he was just seven.Well! Hunter being Hunter did suspect it from the beginning. Rafael never met anyone so compassionate and giving.Abigail… who could laugh at such silly things. Who could make everyone laugh around her. She was a fun loving girl.When they met the first time, she was nervous a little. But later they both had developed
She did not know when her eyes became heavier and when she slipped into a deep sleep. But when she woke up the room’s night bulb was on.Her body and mind both felt relaxed after taking that much needed sleep. She did not know how long she slept. Stretching her arms, she started fishing for her phone with her hand around her when her hand touched something beside her.Frowning to herself, she turned towards her left and found herself face to face with…Hunter Levisay!She kept looking at his face trying to decide if it was really him or she was hallucinating.Lifting her hand she placed it on his nose bridge making him squint his eyes.His face looked so funny that she started laughing. Hunter who was thinking that once she would meet him, she would start crying was shocked.Holding her hand, he kissed it, “Hey.”“Hey.” She shifted closer to him and kissed his nose tip.“I am so s
Hunter was asked to keep less interaction with Abigail. But that was nearly impossible. Mr. McKenzie might be a business rival but he was still guilty for what happened to Abigail at the party thrown by him.Hunter used to spend the nights with her followed by breakfast. Then he used to go office for a few hours. He was instructed by police officials to either stay at Sapphire Galaxy or his house.But every single day, he used to dodge them with an excuse of an important meeting and came to meet her.That day they both were having early dinner when Abigail offered him to bring coffee. Laying on the wide plush sofa he was waiting for her when he received Costner’s call.When he was done with the call, he stood up. Abigail was placing the cups when he pulled her towards him and hugged her.She tilted back her head and raised an eyebrow questioningly wiping the corner of his mouth.“We need to go police station, sugar.”
(3 months later)Abigail had just reached the office from her showroom. Its inauguration was due after fifteen days. The place had started getting popular even before its grand opening.Hunter was not in the office. She headed towards the seat which was used by Hunter and her both. The other table which was placed for her was moved away. Because Hunter wanted to share the same desk with her.Humming to herself she opened her laptop and started going through the dealer’s list when the door opened with a bang.“Sugar. Where were you?”She was surprised to find her husband there because he was supposed to be there at the meeting.“Why are you exactly here?” she closed her laptop and stood up.“I think I spilled tea on my jacket.” He took off the jacket and handed it over to her.Abigail started inspecting it but could not find even a tiny stain there.“Hunter!” she was t
When she came home she was tired as hell. Strange that she never felt that tired after work. Her work always gave her pleasure. But it never made her tired.Or maybe it was not her work after all. It was Celine!She was going through their conversation again and again.Hunter was going to propose to me before you came in that picture. We were so happy before YOU. I don’t know how you managed it so easily!Abigail wanted to cry. But she had to keep her emotions in control. Because Hunter would at once know as always that she had been crying.How would she hide her puffy face and swollen eyes? She needed to think fast. As fast as possible. She started pacing around in her room when suddenly her eyes fell on the mirror showing her image. The girl staring back did look tired whose complexion had gone pale.How did she miss that? Why she could not figure it out? Celine had accompanied Hunter to every social event.
“Did Celine come to meet you?” though he asked it casually but her heart missed a beat at that. Shrugging her shoulders carelessly she tried to sound indifferent. “Yes, she was there. Was asking about you as usual. I think she doesn’t like my company much, so just left early.” She was trying to observe the expression on his face. Just to find something special or different at the mention of Celine’s name. But his indifference showed that he could be such a good actor. “Abigail!” “hmm?” She seemed lost. “Are you sure you are just tired? Or is it something else?” she felt a little alarmed but masked it immediately. He was Hunter Levisay and he would not buy any story just like that. “Yes, something is bothering me. But I would tell you after the drinks.” He nodded his head occupied in his thoughts. He was too sharp and intelligent, she did not want to give him any clue. So she said whatever came to her mind, “After dinner, we wou
“Let’s go to the office together.” They both were having breakfast when Hunter suggested but she shook her head.“I don’t think I would be able to make it today.” She pulled her lips in a thin line. “I could not get a proper sleep last night and this headache is killing me right now.”“Then I better stay with you.”“No!” she was too quick to deny his offer. “Once I would take coffee it would be better. I would take a short nap, as well, I guess.”“But I don’t want to leave you alone.” She could hear the concern in his voice.She needed to be careful. “Hunter! Today I called a meeting and I would need you to go ahead with it in my absence.” She was panicking but did not want to show it on her face.“Well, the meeting could be postponed. You are more important to me, Abi.” He shrugged. Taking a deep breath she stood and
Hello readers, Thank you for all the love and support you people have been offering me. When I started, Oops, story, I was not expecting more than a hundred readers. Never knew it will be liked this much. Time to say goodbye to Hunter/Abigail and Rafael/Emerald. I don’t think I would go for a sequel. But you never know. (wink wink) Whatever I am today is because of you people. Because of your constant encouragement, I did it. Thank you for the constant reviews. Believe me, I had been reading all of them. My next story will be Ouch! My Fiancé Fell For His Vir*gin Maid. It will be available hopefully by the second week of December. (Would try for earlier) Don’t forget to give it a chance. Justin, Sarah, and Ashley. They will be soon available on Goodnovel. For future announcements, you can follow me on Goodnovel or search for me as Lisa Salman-author. Xoxo. Bye - till we meet again. Lisa Salman-author.
Emerald woke up by stretching herself and turned her head sideways. Rafael was still sleeping like a baby with his mouth partially opened.She could see one or two strands of white hair in his subtle beard and she swore he was becoming more handsome with each passing day.Shifting closer to him, she sniffed that familiar perfume. God! She always acted like a creep when he was around.“I can never get enough of you.” She whispered in his ear making him stir in his sleep.“Harika?” He called her huskily snaking his arm around her na*ked body and pulling her to him.“Interested in a bath?” She asked his sleepy face, smiling slyly to herself.“Really?” This time his eyes opened widely.“Yup!” Kissing his cheek, she jumped out of bed when he held her hand hurriedly, “Let me do it for you, Guzel.”“You do it every Sunday, Askim. Let me do it for today.” She bent down to kiss his forehead but was sprawled on him when he not only made her stumble upon him but also rolled over taking her with
(Thirteen years later)Sixteen years old Sophia took out a rose twig from her bouquet and took it near her nose to sniff it.“Hmm. Heavens!” She closed her eyes in ecstasy.“You like it?” He asked her.“I love it, papa.” She opened her eyes and a smile gleamed on her lips. Her smile resembled a lot like her mom’s. She had taken that smile and black hair from Julia. That was the reason Emerald dyed her hair black many years back.The familiar smile still gave him pain.“Do you miss mom?” She asked him with concern showing in her eyes. The way she used to care about others showed a lot about how she was brought up by an amazing woman and man.“I used to. But now I think I have gotten over her.”“Once I will be eighteen, I am planning to visit her in Turkey.” Her statement made Robert snap up his head.“I don’t think Emerald and Rafael ever stopped you from meeting her. You just need to let them know.”“I know, papa. It’s just something I need to do on my own. Grandma shares her pictures
Sitting in the Levisay private jet, Emerald did not know where they were heading for their honeymoon. She was still dressed in her gown.“I was under the impression that we will be staying in Sapphire Galaxy.”“And why would I do that to my bride?” He asked her, circling her bare back with his finger. They enjoyed the wedding reception like anything.The Booz, the dances, meeting people. Emerald did everything in a daze. Finally, after coming out when it was time to throw back the bouquet they all were surprised when Patricia caught it effortlessly.“Are you missing Sophie?” Rafael got rid of his jacket before pulling her onto his lap, “Because I am.”He did try to convince Hunter to take Sophie with them. However, Hunter wanted them to spend this time together.They both deserved it. Their love deserved it.She did not know when she fell asleep in his arms. But when her eyes opened, she was in the furnished bedroom of the jet, lying peacefully in his arms.He was awake and staring at
“Oh, Gosh! Emerald! Wake up. It’s your wedding day.” Emerald had a pillow on her face when she heard Abi’s voice. “What? It’s already morning?” She asked herself and moved the pillow away from her face. “Look at you. The girl who had insomnia can now sleep nonstop.” Emerald got up yawning. Abigail was constantly talking without taking a break, “Come on, Em. Rise and shine.” She drew the curtains, allowing the room to bathe in sunlight. “Go and take shower. I will send a protein packed breakfast to the room. After that, you are supposed to wear your undergarments and petticoat. And yes…” Abigail was already stepping out, “Don’t forget to put on those bandelettes.” She winked before closing the door behind her. Emerald let out a panicked sigh and ran to the bathroom. Last night she stayed in the guest room of her house. Selina was already taking care of Sophie. After applying scented lotion all over her body, she came out in a bathing gown. it seemed like Abigail was waiting for her
“Mommy! You will marry daddy tomorrow?” She was changing Sophie’s dress into a sleeping suit when she asked the query with those innocent eyes on her face.“Yes, honey bun. We are.” She started brushing her daughter’s long black hair into a loose braid, “Are you happy?”“Happy of wedding? With daddy? Yes, mommy, I am.” She was too engrossed in brushing her barbie’s golden hair.“Mommy?”“Yes, honey bun?”“Would you love me after marry daddy?” Sophia was so busy with her doll’s hair that even she did not know the absurdity of her question.Emerald felt like someone had clenched her heart. Her daughter had started thinking along these lines. Was she getting insecure? Possessive?“Sophie? My baby!” She gently took the doll from her hands, “Look here, darling.” She held her small face in her hands, “You will always be my baby. You will always be my first love. And you know what?” She asked looking into the innocent eyes of her daughter,“Daddy loves you so much. He is always talking about
“Wake up, baby! Wake up!” She splashed water droplets on his closed lids. His lips stretched into a smile. He raised his arm to look for her in the air with his eyes still closed. She got back with a burst of half-suppressed laughter.“Come here!” His voice was still raspy due to the sleepiness, his hand still hanging in mid-air. Looking for her! She realized. “Get up. I am making breakfast for both of us!” telling him softly she went out of the room feeling all emotional. The way his hand wanted her was something too sweet to handle. When he came out all fresh and showered, she was placing the plates on the counter along with steaming coffee mugs. “Breakfast is ready and you need to…” She stopped when she saw him leaning against the counter in only a pair of shorts. His body was still glistening due to the shower he just took. Woah! The man let her do all those amazing things to his body last night and still, her insides were throbbing with his mere presence. “Still want to de
When Abigail and Hunter got inside the kitchen, they stopped short when found Emerald stirring something in a big bowl.“What are you doing?” Hunter picked up a carrot and started chomping on it.“I was thinking to help Abigail with the dinner.” She said busily, “How about I do a sweet dish and you can go with one main course dish. Or if you want I can …Oops!” She squealed when Hunter lifted her up as if she weighed like a feather and placed her away. “Brides are not allowed in the kitchen!” Hunter took the bowl from the counter and started whipping it.“He is right.” Abigail took out an apron from the drawer and threw another one towards her husband, “We will manage tonight’s dinner.”“I just wanted to help!” Emerald tried to protest.“I will ask Selina if needed. Now shoo away.” Abigail gave a little shove on her shoulder and started taking out veggies from the refrigerator.“You are still here, girl!” Hunter wiggled his brows, “Go get a massage. Spend some time away from this noi
When her flight landed in San Francisco, Patricia looked out of the window while stretching herself. Her favorite, warm and sunny San Francisco. The same one which she left last time in rage. And in pain. In that annual dinner, Rafael Wyatt did not even try to steal a glance her way. He seemed so uptight sitting there with Hunter and Abigail at the party. No matter how many times Abi tried to introduce them or tried to talk to him about their common interests he did not even budge. But he was a changed man on the screen when Emerald went to him at his movie celebration party and talked to him. He had this se*xy smile on his lips when he pulled her on the stage. Emerald must be hardly one year younger than her but her parents never treated her well. There was some old siblings’ rivalry with Cassandra but her parents always supported Cassie. Patricia loved her energy. After collecting her luggage, Patricia was pushing the trolley to the exit, observing different people at the airpo
