I went to see Heidi I knew she was still very much broken. There were no more videos or pictures on her social media. I knew she had taken Jake's death hard like me and Dane. When the door opened I saw that she had a dead expression. She smiled when she saw me. She was very slim already now with the death it was as though she wanted to diminish."Where is Ella?", I asked her. It seems that she was alone in the house and her mother had already left her."She went on a date", said Heidi."Really? That was very quick. It looks as though she didn't care about anyone but herself", I said outraged."It is OK. I suggested it. She said she was sick of me sitting alone in the house all day and night", she said."So she thought it was OK for her to leave you here?", I asked annoyed."You know Mom it is hard for her to keep still", she said combing back her hair. I saw needle marks on her hand."What is this Heidi?", I asked her.She was silent. I knew she had no insulin shots so this could mean
Life goes on. No matter how hard one tries to remain in the past it is simply not possible. It has been nearly a month since Jake had passed away. We have all learnt to live without him. We still remember him. Hardly a day goes by that we don't miss Jake. But yet we decided to live for him than to be sad. My sister had long quit social media. Now she helms Wellington Inc with my husband. They are now good friends and my jealousy has slipped out of my mind it feels as though it was never there. She hadn't dated anyone so far. My husband wanted her to move on and see other people but we can't say it to her. It is simply not a regular conversation one could have with their best friend's wife even though the best friend is long gone."I still can't believe Heidi took a one-eighty degree from what she once was", said Charlie."Me too. But I think this is for the best", I said to her."Can someone change so much?", she mused."Yes, it is possible. If you had told me that I and my sister wil
"It says I'm pregnant", I said as though I was shockingly slapped on my face."Yes, Babe. This just confirms my suspicion", she said as though she finished her gynaecology degree yesterday."This can't be happening", I said my voice barely a whisper."I hope this is a good surprise because you couldn't keep your hands away from the kids I babysat", she said."But this couldn't happen my doctor told me. Maybe the test is not working properly", I said."The world is probably not round because that was what people believed many years before", she said with a huff."I still can't believe it", I said."Are you happy?", she asked me."Yes", murmur."Then what is the issue?", she asked."What if I lost it?", I asked her."There are many things in the world that could go wrong. But just imagine what will you do if the baby makes it out fine! That will alone give you strength to fight all the odds", she said to me."Should I tell Dane?", I asked nervously."Of course, you should tell him", she
Can a person change after hearing big news? I think so it feels as though I'm a different person altogether. It is like yesterday doesn't matter. I can't wait to tell Dane. But I knew he was one of those who loved me a lot. He would never risk my life for a chance of having a baby. The doctor had said that there is very less chance that the baby survives. She said she wouldn't advise me to carry my bug to full term because it could also kill me. But this news doesn't make me change my heart. I want my baby. I thought it was impossible but with the possibility that I could be a mother! It was like I was born again.I have decided that I will tell him after two weeks then it would be impossible to do an abortion. So that he wouldn't have to choose between mother and kid. I just can't wait to see the happiness that I'm going to give him. I know it will make him very happy so I should just keep it with me for a few weeks after that he can't force me to give up the baby. When I reached ho
"Is there something? You are constantly smiling", said Dane. I was? I had no idea. I hope I don't look like a fool all the time. But I had a reason to smile it was a big reason."I'm very happy", I told him."Good", said Dane."You don't want to know the reason?", I tested him."If you want to tell me then yes. But I think this is something secretive", said Dane."What?", I asked with a gasp. He sounded like he knew what was happening. "I have some idea about it. I know that you are happy now that your sister is back with you. You don't have to hide it from me. I had accepted her in our life", said Dane. That was a near save. I thought he caught me on the baby thing. Yes, I was meeting Heidi who was getting better day by day. Now that she has quit the influencer job she is much fun to hang around with. She wouldn't sneer at my clothes. So I could wear sneakers and a dress while meeting up with her. She still has a long way to go. She will do that I'm very sure of it. "Dane my siste
"Convey my congratulations for Charlie", said Dane with a shrug."OK", I said."You don't look so happy", said Dane."I'm happy for her", I said."Then why are you pouting?", he asked me."I'm not", I said my eyes narrowed."Fine. I don't like it when she said she is going to move to Saudi Arabia", I said.Dane laughed out loud as though it was a funny thing to hear. Here my heart was breaking into two. Who will survive their best friend moving to another continent? I surely can't."That I want to see. I will give it a month maximum. She is going to return", said Dane."What she is not? She is in love with her", I told him with a sigh."Then it is going to take two", said Dane still enjoying his humor."Can you stop making fun of my best friend?", I said annoyed."I was only trying to make you happy", said Dane."Your best friend is moving it had made you very sad. I'm only trying to cheer you up", said Dane."Well you are annoying me instead", I told him."You are not happy to hear t
I missed Charlie already and she was still here. I was giving her the necessary space after all she and Jasmine are newly married. I was having my ritual sweet tea from Starbucks. Herald is on leave so now I was in charge of some other security. I don't know his name. He was a pretty chill guy. He doesn't hang around us as Herald did. He kept at least ten feet between us and I caught him checking out his phone many times. This won't be professional but I'm not going to call him out. It may cost him his job.I had called my sister and she was supposed to join me. I was sitting here waiting for her when I saw Ananya. I waved my hands at her. She smiled and joined me. My sister was late. We would occasionally meet up to repair our relationship. It was a success. Both of us had come long past our grievances towards each other. "Hi Mrs Wellington", said Ananya. "Hi Ananya please call me Ziva", I said rolling my eyes. I wasn't that old to give me respect more than I deserve. "OK", she s
"We should tell Dane", said Heidi."No", I protested. I can't even imagine Dane being dragged into this mess. I didn't want Enzo to kill my husband. I was still shaking because of the abrupt change.Enzo was alive and I worried that he is going to come after Dane and me. I have to do something. I don't know what. I have to protect Dane and my child. I can't let Enzo ruin everything like he did last time. I wanted someone to help me but I knew that no one can help me. Save me."Relax", said Heidi."I don't know how to relax. I'm trying to think", I said to her."There is no other way than to tell the cops and Dane. They will deal with him", said Heidi."I don't trust cops. They would never believe that Enzo is still out. I'm afraid exposing the truth now is only going to harm us", I told her.I got a call and that was from Dane. I picked it up nervously."Hey Babe did you see the text I sent you?", asked Dane from the other end."Yes", I said. I wasn't calm and collected as I hoped.Bu
Charlie hadn't said anything to Dane. If only she waited for him to talk. Charlie pretended to say the truth so that Heidi comes clean before Dane. She had done it but I knew she will pay the cost for it. Dane now knows everything. The Wedding won't happen now. I felt a little sorry for my sister after all she had lost Dane again."You didn't say the truth to me. I'm angry at you too", said Dane."I won't blame you. I should have told you about Enzo but I was afraid you won't take it seriously", I confessed."His people had shot me and you think I won't take it seriously? Ziva please be mature", said Dane."I'm sorry Dane", I said."You made us lose our precious three years of life. I missed my daughter's birth and her significant mile stones. It is not something that I can forgive", said Dane."You are right. I was a coward and everyone used that knowledge to influence me", I admitted."You are not a coward Ziva. I wish you were a little more selfish. You sacrificed us for my life. I
When I reached the venue I was immediately ushered into the groom's room. I went to see Dane working on the laptop. My daughter screamed and went to hug him. He took her and lifted above his shoulders. Who knew my serious daughter was a fun loving girl ?"I miss you daddy", she said."I miss you too bug", he said."Don't get married", she said bossily."Why?", he asked curiously."Because mommy cries", she said shocking me.He looked at me with a hint of smile. I was dumb struck."I wasn't", I said to him.She climbed down from her father and took her place next to me. I gave her a warning look."Don't lie", she said to me."I'm not lying", I said to her."You said that daddy", she was about to say everything but I put my hand on her mouth."That is enough", I warned her."There is still time confess your love or it will be too late", he said with a smirk."No. Our life is not a rom Com Dane. Everything is not black and white", I said to him."Fine your wish", he said.I took my daugh
I'm a stubborn creature where the need arises. I'm not going to backdown even if he says that he can't live without me. But I knew he won't say it. I had hurt him enough but still he says he can't marry Heidi. I can't go home till we reaches some sort of agreement."Dane. I'm not going back where it all started. I want an out", I said painfully. I had a fair idea on how much I was hurting him."Fine. I will get married but you have to be at the wedding. If you decide not to come at the last moment the wedding is off", said Dane."You can't say that. Please I won't go back not with Enzo there", I said to him."The wedding is going to happen here and tomorrow. Remember to be there else there is no wedding. I had booked a cab for you. It is not a good idea for me to join you", he said. I nodded my head. I was ready already.I have to be there at Dane's wedding to my sister. The fate couldn't be any more cruel. It hurt me like hell to adjust to the prospect that my husband is going to get
The thing about mistake is that we don't have a desire to undo it constantly but I didn't feel that way. Sleeping with Dane might be a bad choice on my part but I never regret a second that I spent with him. I would do it all over again if given another chance. But I shall remain silent. My thoughts never should come out of my head. It must stay there safe and silent. Even after I insulted Dane he being a gentleman had gone to fetch me fresh clothes. I stay there waiting for him to get the clothes. He must have ordered it through the hotel. But it still hadn't come. So he had gone there to check what happened to my dress. He might have fired somebody too if the hotel was his.I heard a knock and Dane came through. I stayed there very still. All my instincts said to go towards him. My emotions were over the top plus the amazing sex we had destroyed any small amount of self-control I used to have."Here is your dress", he said putting it on the bed."Can you give me some privacy?", I as
"I'm sorry for hurting you. I want us both to move on for the sake of Angel. You are also getting married to my sister. Let us end this please. What do you want in return for it?", I asked him."I want you to give me back every kiss I gave you. Then I will forget you and move on", he said."Fine. I have a condition too. I want you to give me back every kiss I gave you as well. So that we can settle the score", he said."Done", he said. I was the one who charged at him he bent down the kiss me. We kissed each other like there was no tomorrow. His tongue duelling with mine. I gasped when he bit my lips hard enough that it hurt. I bit him too drawing blood. He chuckled when he heard me growl. You better stop provoking me. I said in my mind.His hands cupping my boobs. I moaned when his hands tore my expensive dress. I didn't bother to put aside the tattered dress. It lied crumpled on the ground. I stood there in my undergarments. He removed a single boob from the constraints of my bra. H
"You can't let go of me right? You wanted to play me even after leaving me. I just played you back", he said with tight eyes."It wasn't any game Heidi loves you. She asked my help I gave it to her. I have no other interest in you", I said to him."Is that so? Then why are you on a date with me? How does it help your sister?", he asked me crossing his arms."I'm doing what I'm told. You said you will leave me alone after this date", I reminded him."I said and you listened. Things are that easy for you? Our life together didn't matter to you isn't that right? You couldn't endure a life with a handicap so you left me. But still you are here they are right what goes around comes around", he said."Why do you ask me to this date? Is it to torture me?", I asked him."No. I'm on this date to say you goodbye. You might have meddled with my life a lot. But after today you won't do anything like that ever again. I wanted to destroy you initially but then I realised that you are also mother of
"And what do you think?", I asked him."I know my feelings never died for you", he said thoughtfully."You are only saying this to punish me", I said."Why would I want to punish you?", he asked me."Because I left you three years ago", I said."It is correct that you left me. I don't think I can ever forgive you for that. But that doesn't mean that I had lost my feelings for you", he said."I think you want to bed me that is why you are talking about the feelings all of a sudden", I said."I would always want to bed you. I'm attracted to you physically and mentally. I will always want sex from you. Even when we are both a hundred years old", he said."I don't want you", I shot back at him."I realised that three long years ago. But that hadn't deterred me from wanting you like a Madan", said he."You shouldn't say such stupid things. I have used you in the past and disregarded you as it suited me", I lied to him."I got that. It still hurts. I thought you were in love with me", he sa
"You look beautiful", said Charlie carrying my daughter on her hip."Thanks", I murmured putting on the necklace.My open-sleeve dress had so many boob's that I was sure Dane would drool. I knew the game that I was playing is a dangerous one for both parties. It was like fighting with a sword that has no pommel. It can cut both."Is this some kind of a reminder for him? To have an idea of what he missed?", she asked me."I'm only getting ready for the date as he asked me to. That is all there it is. A single date where we will behave like it was the first time I'm seeing him walking", I said."You mean like while you were married to him", she said."Yes for a single date. But there won't be anything beyond that. He is going to get married soon to my sister. She had already told me that it is OK. Dane said that this date night is all he is asking in return for leaving me alone. I have nothing more to ask for from Dane and he will only get what he asked", I said."That is going to be to
I have decided to give him what he want. I know it will be a lie to confess that it is something that he only he wants. I want that too. A date that we missed three years ago. I couldn't help but imagine what would have happened if I hadn't met Enzo that day. I want to see him walk towards me for the first time again. He would have been romantic and flirty with me all night. We would have ended that night early each of us eager to go home. So that we could celebrate together at night.I was very nervous. Something inside my mind warned me from going through with Dane's idea. It is not only a worst idea but the after math of the said date would be incomprehensible. I won't be able to forget and move on while he ends this fantasy of date. I would be left with broken pieces of my heart.I called Charlie for clarity. I doubt she has anything new to supply. I already know consequences of my decision even though it doesn't make a difference to me.She picked on the first ring. She had alrea
