E M O R Y"Money?" I laughed. "You need money? I gave you one million dollars five months ago from my new business so you can stay out of my life and build something for yourself. And you're standing here asking for money?""I spent it," he said, shrugging his shoulders."How the fuck did you spend it? How much did you gamble and drink with the money, Michael? Tell me, please.""It's not my fault, okay? I needed money. I'm a man. I have a lot of debts and—""No, Michael. That's your own damn fault. You're a grown ass man, and you gambled away my hard-earned money. I don't owe you shit. Get the hell out of my sight.""I'm not leaving until I get my money," he said, and grabbed my arm, his grip strong and painful.I looked at him, square in his eyes. "I have no money to give you, Michael. One penny, I'm not giving. Now, get the fuck out of my office.""You don't have the money, or you won't give it to me? Don't forget, Em. I have the evidence of the crimes you committed. That's why you

S E B A S T I A NEmory sat beside me in the backseat of the car, her hands were on her pregnant belly, and her lips were moving but, I couldn't hear a word.My eyes were fixed on the road, my mind was far away.It had been five years since we started our lives together.I was a married man.Married to a woman who is carrying my child.Yet, I didn't feel complete.I was just existing.There was an emptiness in me. A cold void, hollow and empty.I felt like something was missing, like a part of me was taken away.I didn't understand what it was.All I knew was, there was an emptiness inside me, and nothing was filling the void.I sighed, closing my eyes and resting my head against the seat.Why did this feeling keep haunting me?It wasn't supposed to be this way.Emory was a beautiful woman, she was intelligent, and had a great personality. She was carrying my baby, and we were starting our own family. I couldn't raise a child in a home where her father is not content.So, why was this

E L L EIt's been two annoying days at the hospital filled with endless tests and boring ass doctors checking my vitals and giving me their diagnosis.I couldn't wait to get out of the damn place and go home and it was finally time to go home.My parents and brother had left, they were busy, and I knew I could trust Gio and Avery to take me home. My parents would stop by later at the house to check up on me.As much as I hated the hospital, I was glad that Claire had taken care of me, she was sweet and kind.I didn't want to think it was kind of a special treatment because I'm friends with Gio, but she seemed like a genuinely nice person.She was beautiful, and her eyes held so much sadness in them.She didn't seem to be okay.The door opened, and Gio walked in, holding a huge bouquet of flowers."Hey, what's up?""I'm good, just counting the hours till I'm discharged." I groaned, sitting up."Here. These are for you. They are from me and Avery." Avery smiled at me and nodded, but I a

Well, let's just say, that it was an eye opener.""What do you mean? What's wrong?""Everything's wrong, Elle. Her product is filled with harmful chemicals. The levels are so high, it could have caused harm to the consumers. The levels could have killed people. Do you understand how bad this is, Elle?""It contains a outrageous amount of Formaldehyde, phthalates, trisclosan, nanoparticles and parabens, just to name a few. The product is dangerous, and a death trap. This cannot be sold. And I wonder if her business was FDA approved before she ventured into this. This is serious, and can lead to a huge lawsuit. The ingredients should have been tested before the product was approved and made for the consumer. This is bad, E

The material was soft and smooth, and it was very comfortable.My hair was being styled, and the makeup artist was adding the final touches."Can I open my eyes now?" I asked impatiently."Hold on."I heard the rustling of a bag, and the opening and closing of the wardrobe door."Alright, now, you can."I opened my eyes and looked at the mirror.

E L L E"Oh my God." She mumbled."Look, nana, it's not what you think. I swear, we're not irresponsible. Yes, we're having a baby, but, we're in love. This was not a mistake. It's not something I regret.""Oh, sweetheart. Of course, you're not. I'm not angry, honey. Don't even think that.""Then what? What is it? Please say something, Nana.""Eleanor, this is the best surprise of the day. I thought I was going to get a marriage announcement, but this is an even bigger shock." She smiled widely, pulling me into her arms."Nana." I whispered, relief filling my heart."Oh, sweetie. My granddaughter is pregnant. That's such a wonderful surprise. This is the greatest news. A little baby. Don't ever think I'm disappointed in you, Elle. Because you're the most careful girl I've ever known, and if you are pregnant, I know you love that man too much to risk it all for him. You wouldn't put your baby at risk for anything. You're my brave, independent girl. I've raised you to be a strong woman,

E L L E"You're right. He would definitely threaten you. I want him to see that the two of us are perfect for each other. We're in love, and he cannot say anything about that. We don't have to do things according to his wishes, because, we're doing things the right way. We're together and we're happy. He'll come around once he has gotten over the shock. It will be my surprise to them when we're back in the US, but for now, we're going to bask in our little happiness. Just the two of us.""You're absolutely right. But, I have to ask. Is that what you want? Do you want to get married?""I'm not in a rush, baby. We've only been dating for seven months, and having a baby was not planned. But, we're not doing anything wrong. It's not like I'm pregnant, and we're not together. We're in a serious relationship, and it's not a crime to have a baby out of wedlock. Yes, I want to be your wife, but not out of the pressure of society staunchly believing a woman should be married before she has a c

We had decided to come to the hospital two days ago, to run a test just to confirm the pregnancy.We were both very eager to find out the details.I was so happy, but Mikhail was ecstatic.He had been talking about the baby all night.I couldn't believe the news had made him so excited. I had just been scared for nothing.I knew Mikhail was a man who loved and wanted a family, but seeing the joy in his eyes was the best feeling.Avery and Giovanna were equally excited about the baby, literally already talking about names and colors for the nursery.It was a great feeling, seeing that the people who were closest to us were happy."Are you okay, sweetheart?" Mikhail asked, his hands massaging mine."I'm great. Are you okay?""Of course. I've never been better.""Me neither. I'm so excited.""Good."

S E B A S T I A N"Partially. It's not the only reason, but yeah. It's because of her. I can't move on. She was the one for me. The one I've always wanted, and no one has ever been able to compare. Even though I know, that's not fair, and she has moved on. I don't know how to move on, without her. Every time I close my eyes, I see her. All I want is her. And no one else.""With all you've said, I think the first thing you need to do is forgive yourself for making a mistake. You've lived with the consequences for so long, and you can't seem to get over it, but the only way you're going to feel better, is if you stop beating yourself up. You were a victim of circumstances, and you didn't have a choice. It wasn't your fault. And no matter how much you beat yourself up for it, it's not going to change the past. We are humans, and learn from our mistakes.""How do I do that? How do I forgive myself, and accept the fact that it wasn't my fault when it's really my fault? I didn't trust her.

S E B A S T I A NI stood in front of the mirror the next morning, staring at my reflection. I was putting on a black suit pants and a white shirt. Two buttons open.I looked good, but I was feeling so sick.So sick, just thinking about going to a therapist and talking about my problems, which were caused by my own hands, to another person.A fucking stranger.But, I had promised Mom that I would go.So, I had to.After all, she was right.I had nothing left. If this was the only option, I had to take it.Fuck.What the fuck would a therapist understand? How do they do these things?

Perfectly drawn and carved by me, for the past few months, I've had at least eight pictures of her drawn, painted, and carved.She was the only one I could draw, think or talk about, the only person who was constantly on my mind.I stared at my latest painting.It was a portrait of her.In my arms.Smiling.Happily.Like she used to, when she fell in love with me.I wanted her to look at me like she used to, to touch me, to let me touch her, and most importantly, I wanted her to smile at me the way she was smiling in my picture.This was the closest I felt to her, the closest I felt to her presence. She was all around me. The only way to see her.The only way to feel her.But it wasn't the same.I would give anything just to hear her voice one last time.One last chance.To see her.Touch her.Hold her.But she hated me.She didn't want anything to do with me.

L A N AThe rage that has been building up in my body for the past few weeks was the highest I had ever felt it. The only time I had felt anything even close to this was the night Mikhail broke up with me.It was as if all my senses were heightened to their max, all attempts to get Mikhail back to myself was proving futile.Not only has Elle made it difficult for me, now they were out of the country to God knows where. I was livid, literally going berserk trying to find out which country they had led to, but there was literally no traces of them. No single trace. I had my resources try to track their every move, but the fact that I was running out of options was slowly driving me crazy. I didn't know how much longer I could go without Mikhail in my life.How much longer I had to watch him be with someone who isn't me."You know they aren't going to be there forever, right? They are going to come back and you can perfectly snatch Mikhail back. Why don't you just wait it out?" I heard

He said, walking into the room and removing his shoes."Uh, nothing much. Just relaxing.""Hmmm." He stared at me for a while, probably noticing the tension in my face."Are you okay?" He cupped my cheeks, looking into my eyes. I fidgeted, unable to keep eye contact for too long. My gaze fell on the floor."Is there something wrong?""N-no. Nothing's wrong. Everything is great.""You're acting strange. Come on, talk to me. You can tell me anything."I swallowed hard, staring into his eyes."Mikhail, I need to tell you something, and I'm scared. Please, hear me out." I said, my heart was racing a thousand miles an hour."Okay.""Please, promise me that you'll hear me out.""Of course, sweetheart." He held my hands, urgi
