Is She Getting Married?

Without anyone needing to explicitly state it, I noticed how Beatrice tried to maintain a certain distance between Timothy and me, something that became more evident each day.
I understood that reigniting our marriage would be a challenging task, filled with unspoken words and silences that spoke for themselves. Especially considering my mistake in trying to win her back months after our separation.
I was left to accept whatever was possible, even if it was little, sometimes almost nothing on her part. Anything was better than nothing.
When Beatrice started coming home every day with Smith, something that became a routine since the day she was late, which hadn't happened before, it was clear that a significant change had occurred in their relationship.

BeatriceI lived in what seemed like a normal relationship with a man who made his love for me clear. However, the feeling of happiness and fulfillment eluded me. The reasons for this emptiness were unknown to me, and I did my best to avoid confronting them, indefinitely postponing this reflection. Not even at that moment, when I was finishing my activities in the newspaper office and getting ready to go home with my perfect partner, was it appropriate to address these thoughts. Everything seemed perfect, but something was out of tune. A discreet knock on the door indicated that Andrew was waiting, ready for us to go home together, as we always did."Hi, dear," he greeted me, quickly kissing my lips. "Can we go?""Of course," I agreed without hesitation. We went down the elevator to the basement, and when we were alre

BeatriceDinner with Andrew's parents went smoothly, although I always felt a bit uncomfortable with the Smiths' stiffness. However, it wouldn't be fair to say they were unpleasant or anything of the sort. Maybe my discomfort was because Joel Smith was the owner of the newspaper and, consequently, my boss. Either way, there was still nothing I could pinpoint for sure.As we were about to leave, well past eight o'clock, a conversation topic immediately caught my attention. We were discussing the lunch in celebration of Andrew's birthday, scheduled for the upcoming weekend."I hope Justin doesn't bring his nephew this time," Mrs. Thomas said, surprising me. "I hate when they bring children to my house."Justin was a close friend of Andrew; they studied together, and I was deeply s

BeatriceI woke up later than usual after a dream in which the three of us were playing tennis, appearing like a perfect and happy family. It irritated me. I didn't want to go back to the past, as I've been there and it wasn't pleasant. Nevertheless, I tried once again and insisted, and I can say that the attempt was almost as terrible as the previous one.The insistent ringing of the doorbell worsened my mood even more. I put on a robe over my black silk nightgown and went to answer the door, feeling reluctant. It was only when I reached the hall that it occurred to me that the person could be Edward, coming to drop off Timothy. A familiar chill in my stomach and an increase in my heart rate made me pause for a moment and take a deep breath. I needed to calm down and not let my ex-husband realize that, even against my sensibility and rationality,

EdwardTimothy was visibly moved by the bouquet of roses, and it didn't take long for him to start crying intensely. I perceived anguish on Beatrice's face and sought an explanation for the boy's suffering at that moment.Beatrice hugged and stroked his back and hair, trying to console him in the best way possible. As I watched that scene, I felt confused and out of place, as if I were an intruder amid their intense expression of emotion.However, everything changed when Timothy opened his eyes and looked at me with those still teary eyes, wiping the tears away with the back of his hand and smiling at me, even though he was clearly in pain. I was completely taken aback by that expression and couldn't understand what was happening."Mom used to sell red rose
Rejected by the Tycoon Uncertainties
BeatriceSince our long and passionate kiss in the kitchen, I had been deliberately avoiding Edward. Besides feeling guilty for betraying the man I was in a relationship with, I had taken an extreme risk, veering into a dangerous path. I was being cowardly by running away, but I thought it was best for all of us. I already knew where that would lead us, and I wasn't willing to go through the suffering it would cause again.The word that summarized my feelings was temptation. Edward had always been and still is my weakness. I wouldn't allow myself to be dragged by emotions to the point of suffering again for him. So when Timothy returned to the kitchen, I sighed in relief and left them eating their sandwiches while I returned to my room. Before anything else, I removed all the flower bouquets from the living room, leaving only the red roses, the ones that had moved Timothy so much. I thought he might want to keep that memory of his mother. The other flowers were a strange and unwanted

BeatriceIn a way, Andrew and I ended up finding a balance, although it was a somewhat winding path to get there. He avoided touching on the delicate subject of his parents, and I decided to accept his approach.After much reflection, I realized I couldn't hold onto my anger toward Andrew forever for something he didn't do. He insisted on his disagreement with his parents' views, and that gave me some comfort. I decided to give our relationship another chance. However, if I had been cautious before due to my past experiences, now I was even more hesitant.A few days later, the day of Sebastian and Elizabeth's wedding arrived, and we went together to Kent, specifically to Higham, where the Maddock family's rural estate was located. That's where everyone gathered for the festivities.The trip to Higham was quick, and in less than an hour, we parked at Elizabeth's parents' vast and well-kept estate, already filled with cars belonging to other guests.The butler awaited us and led us to t

BeatriceSometime later, when we returned to the garden, several people were enjoying the mild summer weather outside the property. They chatted animatedly and watched children run and play.I engaged in conversations with some people I knew, mostly relatives of Edward with whom I grew up during my childhood and adolescence. I also encountered some old friends, with whom time and distance had separated.Soon, Sebastian approached from where I was, displaying a broad smile upon seeing me talking with Maggie, Abigail, and Edward's mother, while Timothy played in the garden with other children."Hello, beautiful ladies!" he greeted us enthusiastically. "How are you?""Sebastian!" I responded with excitement. "I'm so happy you're getting

EdwardI held the horse's reins more firmly and trotted leisurely toward the grassy field where everyone seemed to be waiting for me to start the friendly polo match.From a distance, I could observe the stern look on Beatrice's face, questioning why she stared at me with so much animosity when just a few days ago, we were indulging in a passionate and heated kiss in her kitchen.I urged my horse to gallop across the green terrain and joined the others on the grassy field, finally joining the guests at my cousin's wedding.Beatrice shot me a questioning look, and I quickly understood the reason for her inquisitive expression."Hello, everyone!" I greeted the people around us with a calm smile. I received various greetings, especially

AndrewAccepting the invitation to dinner at Beatrice and Edward's house was a sudden decision. I felt hesitant, but at the same time, intrigued by the opportunity to rekindle the friendship that had been shaken by emotional issues.Talking extensively with Beatrice in the preceding days brought much-needed clarity. I realized that the weight of trying to win the love of a woman still in love with her ex-husband was a mistake. The friendship with Beatrice, after all, was much more valuable than any unrequited romantic desire.Upon arriving at Beatrice and Maddock's house, I noticed the presence of Abigail, Edward's sister. An inexplicable nervousness seized me, arousing my curiosity. We exchanged glances, and a subtle tension hung between us, something I admit I did not overlook.

BeatriceWe conversed animatedly during dinner, reminiscing about stories and sharing laughter. I looked at my husband, that beautiful man now entirely dedicated to my needs, reflecting on how much our lives had changed since the day I left that house, determined to forget a year of rejection I lived with Edward and pretend that I no longer loved him when in reality, my love for him only grew each day."While Timothy is almost a young man, Archie is just a baby, and Beatrice is pregnant, soon she'll also have her baby in her arms," Sebastian commented suggestively, looking at Elizabeth, and we all eagerly awaited to hear what he would say next, with smiles of anticipation on our faces. "I also want to have a baby, my love."He didn't disappoint us. We all found what he said very funny, and Elizabeth tu

BeatriceToday I woke up with uncontained joy in my heart. As I got ready for work, I found myself smiling at the mirror, my hands gently caressing the slight swell of my belly. I was radiant, feeling a deep connection with the little being growing inside me.Upon arriving at the office, I was greeted with warm wishes from colleagues and friends. Everyone noticed my good mood, and I couldn't help but share the news of my pregnancy with them. Each smile and congratulations made my day even more special.I was heading back to my office after a meeting when I nearly bumped into Andrew. I hadn't seen him in weeks. The way he had exited my life had left me hurt and confused. However, upon seeing him again, I felt a strange calm in his presence."Hello, Beatrice,

BeatriceDespite everything that had happened between us, my heart insisted that I should trust Edward. I decided to trust him in the same way he trusted me. And so, with the security of his love and confidence in his loyalty, I shared about my pregnancy. His happiness was so evident that there was no room to doubt his feelings."We should tell Timothy," Edward said with remarkable enthusiasm."I'll pick him up from school with you," I said, equally excited. "And together, we can share this news with him."Edward agreed immediately, shutting down his computer and grabbing his work folder. We walked together toward the door. Passing by Edward's secretary, I briefly recounted what had happened when I arrived at his office that afternoon."Who are you calling?" I asked, surprised to see him dialing a number on his phone.Edward just waved his hand, asking me for a moment, but he hugged me, keeping me close to his body while making the mysterious call."Mrs. Steve? Yes, it's me," Edward s

EdwardDespite Beatrice choosing a safe distance between us, the fact that we were willing to clarify everything left me satisfied."I haven't spoken to or seen Louise for months, Beatrice, since that night at the restaurant when we reunited, and she acted rudely and disrespectfully toward you. Something I could never forgive."Beatrice seemed about to interrupt me, opening and closing her mouth several times but managed to stay silent, so I continued with my explanation."Today, Louise showed up at my company unannounced, and I received her as I would with any acquaintance because that's exactly what she is to me now," I made a point to emphasize that. "She was seeking strong sponsorship for her modeling career, and apparently, her finances aren't doing well. She thought appealing to me and our history would be a good idea.""And it seems like it worked," Beatrice interrupted with visible irritation. "You were about to kiss each other."I took a deep breath and struggled to keep calm

BeatriceTo my complete horror, Edward wasn't alone in the room, and the scene before me was, in fact, highly compromising. I was speechless, as I didn't expect to find Louise Orleans in my husband's office."What's going on here, Edward!?"Edward and Louise were standing face to face, with her hands clasping my husband's neck, and he was holding her hands with his own. I was bewildered. What exactly was happening there? Were they about to kiss? The scene denoted an unacceptable level of intimacy."It's not what you're thinking, Beatrice," Edward quickly distanced himself from Louise, removing her hands from around his neck. "Louise was just leaving, right, Louise?"Edward looked at Louise quite eloquently, sugg

EdwardI left home that morning with a wonderful sense of peace and well-being after a family breakfast. Timothy was also radiant."Tell me more about your mother, Timothy. I want to get to know the woman who raised you so wonderfully well. Never forget how special you are to us, Beatrice and me."During the drive to school, Timothy shared emotionally charged details about his mother and life in Kyiv before the war reached the city.When I parked the car in front of the school, Timothy's words deeply surprised me."And I'll be very happy if our family grows, and I get a little brother like Archie."Beatrice and I had never discussed children before; after all, our ma

BeatriceTimothy was ecstatic about the idea of moving to Edward's mansion, which only strengthened my confidence in the decision. Edward invited us to visit the house the next day, keeping the reason for the visit a secret, which made me anxious.When we arrived at Edward's house the next morning, I didn't see anything out of the ordinary that could catch my attention or be the surprise he intended to show us. However, when he led Timothy and me to the first floor of the house, we finally discovered what he had planned."Wow!" Timothy exclaimed, covering his mouth with his hand, his eyes shining with admiration."How beautiful!" I said, equally enchanted.Once again, Edward managed to touch my heart, breaking down the barriers I had
