What a shame!

2024-10-29 19:42:56I stilled and felt like my hands were sweating when our gaze met. "Damn, I knew it! She's not pleased to see his son with me. I’m just a nobody," a lot of thoughts bothered me inside.
She grinned “Kelsie, you’re so pretty! My son does a taste in choosing his girl," she sounded lively. Frankly, I was astounded by her reaction. I was stunned when she pulled me for a hug.
“Mom, stop squeezing her,” Brent hissed and his mom shrugged it off.
I heard him clucked his tongue “I haven't introduced her yet and you couldn't stop yourself away from her,” and complained. A smirk was printed on his face as he shook his head.
When his mom pulled out from the hug “Kelsie, I'm sorry for being rude. I'm Natalia Veronica," she smiled and I reciprocated with the same level of enthusiasm.
“I’m happy to finally meet you, dear," she was thrilled. “I’m pleased to meet you also, Mrs. Davis,” I replied softly.
“Call me mom,” she gripped my arm and s

When I got out of the bathroom, I saw Brent at the balcony talking to someone on the phone. He was on his sweatpants and fitted white shirt that defines his strong muscles. He looked so divine! In front of his dresser, I dried my hair and applied cream for my skin before hopping on the bed. I waited for him and when I saw him closing the sliding door "Work?" I asked. “It's Zach inviting us for a drink tomorrow night," He informed and joined me on the bed. "Asher and Zeus will bring their wives, so you won't get unease,” He right away scooped me to cuddle and I loved the feeling. "Where are we going?" I furrowed. "At Zach's club," he replied. “Club? What to wear in a club?” I was perturbed. When he sensed my reaction “Don’t worry, I’ll handle that," he whispered and I breathed out. “Hmmm, okay,” I murmured sleepily. I nuzzled on his chest and I felt comfortable. “Goodnight, baby,” He kissed my temple and hugged me tightly. “Night,”
Screaming Hearts Don't ever lie to me
Brent introduced his friends to me one by one before we settled on our seats. The first one who approached us was Hunter Ross. Yes, his broad shoulders are assets but he's less compared to Brent. Of course, I'm biased. Insane! The rests are Andrew Smith, Zach Linch, and Asher Johnson- who happened to be the co-owner of the club. They are undeniably good-looking men and their charms are irresistible. The two ladies are Amanda -Asher’s wife and Celine -Zach's wife. Both of them are elegant and sophisticated. Celine is a petite lady with a sweet face. She’s like a living Barbie doll with her long eyelashes, pouty lips, and a dimple in her right cheek that added to her appeal. Amanda has a seductive look plus a body with a perfect curve and you could tell she’s a model. “Hi Kelsie, finally! Someone melted the heart of the ruthless man,” Amanda asserted and offered me to sit with them. “Well, we can’t blame him. You’re indeed gorgeous,” Celine adde
Screaming Hearts I don't like it, I love it!
It was nearly ten in the morning when we reached Sa’Mare – the name of the resort and Brent told me that it means- paradise in the sea. The resort is open exclusively for members only. Most of them are elites who can afford to have a vacation in a luxury place. I felt elevated when I saw the pristine water and felt the breeze of the sea. Brent mentioned that there are lots of amenities around to enjoy. Brent insisted that we stay in his villa while his parents chose to stay in the hotel suite. Most of their modern type villa is made of glass and it looked splendid. The architect has a great talent because of his creations and fantastic designs. We entered our one-bedroom villa with a spacious living and dining room. I wondered how on earth such fortunate people can own a resort and properties. How to be them? Blessed! I was busy roaming inside when I felt two arms wrapped around my waist. “Did you like it?” Brent whispered
Screaming Hearts He was with her
Two days of vacation in Sa’Mare was a lifelong memory that I will always treasure. In that short period of time, I got to know Brent’s family better. They considered me as part of their family, especially his Mom. I could feel that she loves me and her gestures and treatment made my heart warmed. The day we left the island, I prayed that someday I could visit there again without malevolence in my heart. But I doubt because my future with him is uncertain and we couldn't be happy because of uncontrollable circumstances. How I wished that I've met them in a different situation. Natalia persuaded us to stay for another day but Brent explained that I have a class to attend. “We will visit you in LA soon. Right, honey?” Natalia glared at Sebastian and the latter nodded quickly. “See you in LA, dear. Tour me around, okay,” she held my hand and I hugged her tightly. “Of course, Mom,” I smiled to convey that I'm pleased to spend time with her. We bid goodbye to his p
Screaming Hearts I'm just missing you
The moment I reached my table, I felt like my knees crippled. I should not believe it. I know Brent loves me. He will not do something that would upset or hurt me. I wiped my tears and took a deep breath. With a trembling hand, I opened my phone and checked for the business news and gossip online. It was true that their pictures made a hot topic. They both dressed up formally like they’d attended an event. Brent was wearing his tuxedo and Olivia with a silver mermaid gown. She clung to Brent’s arm and both of them were smiling at the camera, they look good together. I felt pain and insecurity. I couldn't hold my tears to fall. I know I was just using him for my revenge but why I felt this way? No matter how much I tried to remind myself to trust Brent, the thought that they were together was ramming inside my head. I couldn’t think properly because he never mentioned nor answered my question about Olivia the last time we were in Sa'Mare. What is the real score
Screaming Hearts I don't need those proofs
Aira and Hailey gasped after I disclosed my story. They were both flabbergasted specifically in the part when I and Brent crossed our path. My story seems like an unreal one but it was the truth. “So you’re saying that Brent’s father was the reason why your Dad committed suicide?” Hailey clarified unable to comprehend everything that happened. “Yes, they sued my Dad with a crime that he didn’t commit," I reiterated to them that he was accused wrongly. “Kelsie, have you tried to study the case and gathered evidence that proves your father's innocence?” I was disoriented by what Aira said, but my thought for what happened was firmed enough. “I don’t need those proofs, Aira. I believe in my father’s words!” I insisted because my father won't lie to me. He was the most trustworthy person I've ever known. "Don't get me wrong, Kelsie. Don't you think you are quite blinded by your love for your father? I mean you are versed on how to study case
Screaming Hearts If only you informed me
“Hey, it’s me!” I heard Brent’s baritone voice behind me. “You scared the hell out of me!” I scolded because I nearly got a heart attack. “I wanted to surprise you, but it turned out I was more surprised knowing that you're not home at this hour,” He was kind of pissed. I creased my brows because it was his fault for not telling me that he's coming back. “If only you informed me,” I turned my back and walked towards the kitchen to get a glass of water. My blood was boiling on his sudden reaction. I did imagine hugging him tight when he comes back but it was clearly the opposite. “And who was that guy who drove you home?" He was a bit loud and the exasperation in his gestures didn't go unnoticed. "Really, Kelsie? I rushed my work from another country so that I could go home with you the soonest. But I found out you are having fun and getting home late with that jerk," He frowned his face and was infuriated about what he saw. I never said anything
Screaming Hearts I need to get a shot
He was kissing the nook of my neck but I kept my silence. I couldn't believe I gave myself to him. I felt like I failed from my plan and burned by my own revenge. He was stroking my hair "I'm sorry," he whispered. "I'm not sorry that we did this but I'm so sorry about our fight. I was just jealous of that man," he added. The pain and regret were evident in his voice. "Baby, please say something," I could feel him sniffed and tightened his embrace. I stayed still not able to form a word because my mind was in chaos. In the chaos of my stupidity. “I’m an idiot for accusing you. Please forgive me," he murmured as he caressed my arms. "Olivia is just a family friend. It was a coincidence that she's having a photoshoot when she learned that I'm in Dubai and barged into my office space," he started to explain though I didn't utter a word. "It happened that she was invited to the same event," he continued and when he noticed that I'm not really sayin

When I opened my eyes, I was lying in a hospital bed with a machine beeping beside me and an IV attached to my hand. I looked around and I saw Aira standing and leaning on the wall wearily. When she noticed that I'm awake, "Kelsie!" she exclaimed worriedly."How are you feeling?" she asked hastily. "Hailey! Kelsie is awake," she called and I heard Hailey responded from the bathroom before she pushed the door open. "Thank goodness!" she murmured."I'm thirsty," I said weakly. Aira opened a bottle and put in a straw for me to sip conveniently. "Why am I in a hospital bed?" I asked but recalled that I wasn't feeling well before I fainted."Hailey, call Brent that she's up," Aira told her and she complied. They said I was out for eight hours because the doctor infused medicine for me to rest that long to recuperate from exhaustion. They informed me that Brent is coming shortly from the precinct with Hunter on the investigation of the fight that happened the previous
Screaming Hearts Wrath
Brent told me that his mom is about to speak to everyone and thankfully, we got back to our table right before she was called up the podium. All of the guests gave her a round of applause as she paced to the front.Right at the beginning of her speech, she thanked each and everyone for coming and for celebrating her 55th birthday. She gave some words of wisdom and encouragement which was a good inspiration to take in. As she talked at the podium, you could tell that she's a warmhearted person. Her class and personality are like a match made in heaven. I felt so lucky to have her as my mother-in-law.When she was about to end her appreciation, she called her husband up for a clink. My father-in-law Sebastian stood up with Louie whose arms are wrapped around his neck."My friends, my birthday celebration is extra special today because of my grandchild," the elation was evident in her tone.

"Open your eyes," the makeup artist which Natalia hired for me announced that we're done with the hair and makeup. She took an hour to finish applying the shades on my face and for me, that was fast. With a widened eyes and parted lips, I stilled at how she made me look splendid. She braided my hair and wrapped it around my head with a few strands left in front of my face."Do you like it?" Max asked cheerfully in his gay-ish tone. "Max, you have magic hands," I praised him heartily. I was able to attend an event in the past but the look and shades he blended for me for Natalia's birthday event is a total opposite. I mean, I was beautiful in the previous transformation but Max made it simple yet elegant."You're a standout tonight!" he exclaimed in vivid spirits. "Thank you, Max," I replied in awe. He pulled me toward the evening gowns which Hailey sent for me to choose. I thought she will only send a piece but she made three beautiful gowns in different colors.&

"Miss Olivia," she tried to intervene but the bitch warned her to stay away. "You slut, get back to your post!" she pointed to the station furiously but my anger rose at how she treated the poor assistant. "And why you allow that brat to make the office a playing ground?" she motioned at my son and I gritted my teeth in infuriation."You have no right to insult her!" I interrupted with a quivering voice. As I didn't want to distract Louie whose a few meters away from us and oblivious about what was happening around, I tried to lower my voice."Of course, you will defend her. Birds with the same feather flocks together," she taunted and that got me infuriated to the peak."Let's be clear here, Olivia!" I was firm with my words. "Why are you so angry with my comeback? What are you to Brent?" I asked her straightforwardly. She was nonplussed on my retaliation and couldn't even justify her relationship with Brent."Are you his wife?" I retorted and wait
