I rubbed my face and sat up. The pounding in my head was the first thing I noticed.

The second was that someone was inside the room with me. Wrapped around my bare body.

What the hell?

My eyes adjusted and the moment I saw the head full of red curls, I pushed her off of me so fast that she fell to the ground.

"What the fuck are you doing here?"

Emory looked up at me with a shocked expression on her face.

"I was worried about you, baby. You had a lot to drink last night and I just wanted to take care of you. You were drunk and you needed someone. The bartender called me and I had to pick you up as fast as I could."

Just how much drink did I consume that I didn't realize when the bartender took my phone and of all people, he decided to call Emory?

What the fuck happened last night?

"You didn't answer any of my calls, Sebastian. I've been looking for all means to talk to you. Imagine my happiness when I saw your call. I miss you baby."

She had some nerve.

    M I C H A E LLuna was in my arms as I watched Emory barge into the apartment from wherever she slept last night and walked into the bedroom, sparing me no glance. Pissed at her audacity, her uncaring manners towards her own child, her selfishness and narcissism.She's a terrible mother.The kind of woman I would have stayed away from, but she's Luna's mom.So, I had no choice but to accept her.The moment I walked into the bedroom, I saw her going from the closet, throwing her clothes into a suitcase, while mumbling angrily."What the fuck are you doing?"She turned around, glaring at me."Don't question me, Michael. I don't owe you shit."I raised my brow at her, surprised at her attitude. "You think you can come back from wherever you went and decide to pack your things and leave? Just like that?""Yes, just like that. I'm done living like this, pretending that my world hasn't just crumbled in front of me. And you know what, Michael, it's all your fault! All your fucking fault, Mic

    E L L EIt's been a very hectic week, from being harassed by Sebastian almost all the time to the workload in my company.I didn't have the heart to complain about my company though, it has been an answered prayer. My business was standing on its feet, stronger than ever and generating loads of income.We were quickly gaining more and more investors who were interested in the company and that was a huge deal.We hired more people, expanding, and improving.I was proud of what we've become.But, it was tiring.I missed Mikhail a lot, and the few times he would pop in, was a breath of fresh air.But it was finally Friday, which means I get to spend my weekend with him. He asked me out to dinner tonight and after we would go back to his place.I haven't seen Giovanna in a few weeks because she was previously out of town with Avery for a mini staycation but, she's finally back and currently sitting on my bed, watching as I tried to pick out a perfect dress for my date with Mikhail."So, al

    E L L EThe drive to the restaurant was a blur.I couldn't stop thinking about the many ways I could make tonight interesting.And it was obvious Mikhail couldn't either, his hands kept wandering up my thighs, his eyes fixed on the road.The tension in the car was intense, and I had a feeling he was holding back, his grip on the steering wheel tightening every once in a while.When we arrived, the valet was quick to open the door for us, and we were led inside the restaurant, which was packed.The atmosphere was cozy and romantic, and the ambience was warm.We were seated in a booth, and a waiter came by shortly after, pouring us some wine, and taking our order.After we placed our order, the waiter left, leaving us to have our alone time.Mikhail couldn't keep his eyes off me, and I couldn't either.He looked gorgeous, his hair slightly disheveled, his lips pulled into a small smile."You look absolutely ravishing tonight, baby. That dress, fuck. It should be illegal."I bit my lower

He muttered against my lips."Bed." I moaned, and he complied, leading me to the bed, pushing me down and climbing on top of me.His kisses became rougher and he trailed them down my neck, nibbling and sucking.He pulled my dress down, exposing the surprise I had for him.I wore a red, lace corset, paired with a thong and garters."Holy fuck." He breathed out, his eyes wide, lust filled."Like it?" I asked, smiling."Fuck. It's so sexy."He bent down, licking and biting the exposed flesh, and I moaned."Fuck. You're so hot. I love the way your tits look in this."His mouth found my nipples, his tongue swirling around them, the cold metal of his piercing creating a tingling sensation.He continued his trail, moving down until he reached my panty.He hooked his fingers into it and slowly dragged it down, hi

    E M O R YI sat in the taxi that was driving me to my new apartment, feeling no regret for my actions. I wasn't caught up for that life.I didn't want a life with Michael, and I didn't regret leaving the baby with him. I was no good for her, I surely wasn't mentally and emotionally ready to become her mother, considering the circumstances after her birth.Her birth brought me nothing but bad luck and my life hasn't remained the same since her birth. I lost my body, I have surgery scars on my stomach, I lost Sebastian, and now I lost my company too.Things were just too hard for me to deal with.And the moment Michael said that I was selfish, it angered me. Because deep inside, I knew that he was right. That I was being selfish, thinking about myself and nothing else. Michael was only acting out his emotions, he was blindly in love with me, and doesn't want to accept that I would never see him that way anymore.He had nothing to offer me. Nothing at all.

    E L L EI was sitting in front of the same men that turned their backs on me a couple of months ago.Seated in front of me were my shareholders, the same ones that didn't think twice to dump my company and take their shares at the verge of bankruptcy. The same company that was my life's blood for the last three years, and the same company I worked tirelessly for, to make it flourish and now, all those years were flushed down the toilet by the very people I had trusted and given my loyalty to.They were greedy and money hungry, running to the first big bidder without thinking of the hard work and sacrifice I had put into the business.I sat with a straight back in my chair, hands crossed in front of me with a blank face staring at them. The room was quiet, but the air was filled with tension.They refused to maintain eye contact with me, probably ashamed that they were back to the place they once called a sinking ship.My eyes shifted from one person to the next."Gentlemen, why don't

    E L L EIt's Valentine's day today and Mikhail has either called nor texted.Not even a good morning.He didn't even return my text from last night and I was a bit disappointed. It was a Friday afternoon, and I was scrolling through social media, watching people celebrating their partners, gifting and taking selfies with their significant others.Even Giovanna and Avery were sharing pictures of them having a romantic time, and I was alone.Alone and sulking.My phone rang and my heart jumped in excitement, thinking Mikhail was finally calling, but to my dismay, it was my mom.Grumpily, I answered the call. My mother and I haven't spoken in a while, I could as well use this time to catch up with her."Hi, mom. Happy Valentine's day.""Hey, Elle. How are you doing, sweetie? You've refused to see your father and me. We were worried.""I'm sorry, mom. Work has been hectic, I didn't have the time to stop by.""Sweetheart, you work at an office.

I felt safe, protected, and loved.My love for him grew deeper and stronger, and I knew it wasn't something that could be taken lightly.We've been dating for five months, and every single day, he showed me that he truly loved and cherished me. It feels like I've known him forever and I wondered where he was all my life. He wasn't the type of guy who'd not only say sweet nothings, he was the kind of guy who'd show his love, prove his love.And, that was why I was falling deeper and deeper for him.The way he'd take care of me, shower me with gifts, and make sure I was comfortable and satisfied.The way he'd drop by the office and have lunch with me, bringing me my favorite meals.The way he'd make sure to check up on me after work, no matter how busy he was. It was a type of love I've never experienced before. Not while dating Sebastian, not even when I became h

    E L L EI sat at my vanity table, my towel wrapped around my body as I started with my make-up. I applied a light foundation, followed by a little blush, mascara, and red lipstick.My eyes were bright, and my cheeks were flushed. I looked absolutely different, and I could definitely see the glow that everyone was talking about. My skin was literally flawless, and I haven't had a single acne in months. The baby was trying to show the world that she's going to be a good girl, but is literally about to rupture my ribs from her constant kicks.She was a very active baby at just seven months. Two more months to go, and it could even get worse. Mikhail was busy getting ready, and he had been checking up on me constantly to make sure I was fine.I took out the hair curler and curled my hair into loose curls, letting it fall around my shoulders.Afterwards, I put on a light perfume, and stepped into my dress. The shimmery yellow mermaid gown clung tightly to my body, accentuating my curves. M

    M I K H A I LI drove my car into the driveway, and turned off the engine. After a few talks with the security guards, I walked into the house with a bouquet of Elle's favorite flowers.It was strangely quiet today, because I usually see Elle in the living room, either watching a movie or sleeping.I decided to go up the stairs and look for her in the bedroom. As soon as I twisted the door open and stepped in, I was met in a dark dimly lit room.There were candles everywhere and flowers and rose petals on the floor. The sight before me almost knocked the air out of my lungs. The sweet scent from the candles, her scent, it was all overwhelming. Elle was in a red lingerie. A sexy two piece lingerie, and her stomach was protruding. She looked like a goddess. One who God has taken his precious time creating under the moonlight, perfectly moulding each and every curve and feature.She was the definition of perfection. A gorgeous goddess. Her hair was flowing down her back, and she had he

    E L L EI was home all alone today because I just didn't feel like going to work. I wanted some peace and quiet, and quite frankly, I was too lazy to go anywhere.Today would be my off day. To sleep, watch a movie, snack and repeat.I had a huge bowl of popcorn and my eyes were glued to the TV, watching the romantic comedy I had rented from the library.It was a beautiful Friday and the weather was perfect, and I wanted to relax and spend the day alone.My phone was on silent and the door was locked. I was having a relaxing time, and no one could mess with me. I placed the huge bowl of popcorn on my belly. Yes, this baby was growing too fast that my belly was not big enough to hold the popcorn.I was a quarter through the movie when my doorbell rang, and I frowned. I paused the movie and sat up. Who could that be?It rang again, and then there was a loud banging on the door.I groaned and got up, walking to the door."Hold on a second!"I opened the door and was met with wide grins. "

He said, smiling as he took me in, his gaze moving slowly over my body, and I blushed."Come in.""I brought some wine and dessert." He said, showing the wine bottle."Great, the food is already here, and it's all set up. Thank you.""Thanks for inviting me over. You have no idea how much I missed seeing you." He said, pulling me into a tight hug, his musky scent hitting my nose, making my insides warm and fuzzy."I missed you too, Seb."He pulled away, and I had to try so hard to fight off the burning blush crawling up my cheeks."I hope you like the dessert, and the wine. I wasn't sure which wine to buy, so I bought the red, s

    L A U R AMy eyes narrowed into a glare, and I frowned. "Excuse me? What do you mean?""Sebastian Black is a ruthless bastard, and he is the last man you should be messing with. He's a heartless asshole." Giovanna stated, and her voice held authority and anger.I could hear the venom lacing her voice. Why would she be so mad and disgusted at Sebastian?"You are the sweetest girl I know, and have a heart of gold. And, Sebastian, the man is just a walking corpse. He's an animal, and has a heart of ice.""How would you know?" I asked, feeling defensive. I didn't like the way she was speaking about Sebastian. How does she know him? What exactly does she know about him that's making her say such things about him? What business does she have with him?"That man doesn't deserve your love, Laura. He destroyed my best friend. They had a very messy divorce that cost my best friend a lot. When he realized that he has been living with the real enemy, he now wants her forgiveness. He still loves h

    L A U R AAfter a two hour nap, filled with tossing and turning on my bed, thinking about the events that took place this afternoon, and the visit from the evil witch, I finally managed to get up and take a shower.It was almost eight, and it was time for me to get ready for dinner at my cousin's place.I walked into the bathroom, and stripped out of my clothes.Once I was completely naked, I turned the faucet, and water gushed out, filling the large tub with warm water.I stepped inside the bath, and sighed in relief.The tension eased from my shoulders, and my mind was clear.It was time to relax, and forget about what happened earlier today.After the long, and much needed, hot bath, I stepped out of the tub, wrapping a towel around my body.I grabbed the brush and combed through my hair.After drying it a bit, I went to my closet and picked an outfit. I didn't dress fancy, because I wasn't planning on going anywhere afterwards.Once I was done, I headed to the kitchen and grabbed t

    L A U R AMy car pulled to a stop in front of my office. "Look, I have to hang up now. Work calls." I said to Sebastian on the phone. His call had woken me up this morning and he stayed all through my shower, dressing up and arriving at work.And there was never a point where the conversation got awkward or boring. We always had something to talk about, like we've known each other our whole lives."Okay. Dinner, tonight?" He asked and a smile pulled at my lips.Unfortunately, I already had plans for tonight. "I'm sorry, maybe another time? I already agreed on dinner with my cousin and her girlfriend. But, tomorrow is my off, you could come over to my place and we could order some food and watch movies or something.""Sounds like a plan. Text me when it's time.""I will.""Goodbye, beautiful.""Goodbye, Sebastian.I disconnected the call, and smiled.This was the first time I've actually smiled and felt good in the morning, and it was all because of Sebastian.

    M I C H A E LI stood in the corner, watching as Elle and her boyfriend made their way out of the event. I rubbed a hand over my face in frustration as soon as their car sped into the distance. I didn't mean to scare her the way I did, I was just desperate for her to learn the real truth about what happened in Bali.I had expected that reaction from her, but I had thought that I would've been able to calm her down and get to talk her and tell her everything. But, I wasn't going to give up. Not until she knew the truth."Fuck!" I muttered, frustrated, running a hand through my hair. It's not gonna be easy. She hates my guts, and I was the cause of her trauma. What did I expect? I'm such an idiot.I sighed, turning to the exit.I had come here in a disguise, knowing that Mikhail's security detail would send me out as soon as they realized I was invited for this event, but I couldn't wait.This was the only way to reach Elle and tell her everything.I had followed her and Mikhail everywh

    E L L EThe next day, Mikhail's friend gave us an invitation for his fashion show. It was also my first public appearance while being pregnant and I was totally excited and nervous at the same time.His friend sent me an unreleased dress from the new line and I was ecstatic, because it was the most beautiful and expensive dress I've ever owned.It was a beautiful blue mermaid gown, that fit perfectly. The fabric was soft and delicate. I fell in love with the dress as soon as I laid eyes on it, and now that it was finally time to wear it, and the night has arrived, I was beginning to have a lot of second thoughts."Are you sure I'm not going to look fat in this?" I asked Mikhail for the hundredth time, and he looked up from tying his tie.He looked shocked by my question, because this was the first time I'd ever asked such a ridiculous question."What are you talking about? You're beautiful. And, you're not fat, Elle. Stop saying that. You're pregnant. There's a difference. You're pregn
