2024-10-29 19:42:56"ARE YOU PLANNING to get drunk at a formal party like this?"
Michelle was about to drink another shot of tequila when a familiar voice suddenly spoke behind her, making her spin around, only to see Selene Steinfield, who was currently giving her a disappointing look as the old woman raised an eyebrow, as if she was some sort of bad daughter-in-law.
She could not believe that her mother-in-law seemed to have extra time to mind her. With all the cameras lurking in every corner of the event hall, the last thing she expected was a goddamn confrontation between her and Selene.
"There are cameras everywhere, Mom," she said, and gave her a thin smile. "I think it would be best if you smiled a bit at me so no one would suspect that you hate me."
"Michelle," Megan called out to Michelle, who was sitting right next to her worriedly.
Selene then smiled sweetly, seemingly getting what she meant but still refusing to give up the conversation so easily. "Can you

MICHELLE STOOD up. Her eyes looked around to find Ethan, but she could not see even his shadow among the crowd, not even in the corner where she saw him talking to Ashley earlier. She let out a sigh of defeat and turned to Nana Rose, who was already tired and sleepy.Nana wanted to go to her suite, and take a rest. Even Pops Will could not be seen. According to Nana, he might have joined his son at the casino, which was located on the other floor. Michelle had no choice but to help the old woman go to her suite instead."Come, Nana. I will take you to your suite myself," she offered.Nana Rose was happy to hear it, and immediately stood up slowly."I am sorry to be a bother, hon." She then surveyed the event hall. "But where is Ethan?""He’s probably speaking to some businessmen." She shrugged and smiled. "That’s how business-minded your grandson is, Nana."Nana Rose chuckled and nodded in response. "Oh, there’s no doubt ab

STANDING IN THE event hall's corner, Ethan sighed in defeat as, shortly after speaking with some of the businessmen his age, Ashley appeared next to him and began telling him things he couldn't understand."You are already drunk, Ash," he told her, looking down at her flushed cheeks.He had known Ashley for most of his life, and whenever the woman got drunk, her face was flushed—the same color as a strawberry, her eyes dreamy, and her mouth would not stop mumbling words that anyone could hardly understand. Ethan looked in the direction where Michelle was. His wife was busy having a conversation with Nana Rose and did not seem to notice that he was speaking with Ashley.Exhaling out loud, he turned to Ashley again while he tried to be patient."Oh, no, no!" Ashley kept waving her hands in disapproval. "I... I am not drunk. I can’t be drunk at an event like this because..." she paused and giggled while she looked up at Ethan with her eyes that w

FEELING THE HEAVINESS of her chest, Michelle had nothing else to do but cry while she was inside Jacob’s car. Without anyone’s knowledge, they left the party and traveled far away, where she could breathe and forget what she had seen in the hotel. It broke her heart whenever that particular scene replayed in her mind, and she could not help but feel sorry about herself for letting things turn this way.If only she had been more careful... If only she had stopped herself from getting too close to Ethan. That scene would not have probably hit her to the core if only she wasn’t falling so hard for him. That thought alone made her lips tremble.Jacob was silently driving the car. No one of them dared speak even a single word. He must have noticed how hurt she was that he had given her the space and time she needed in order to ponder everything inside her chest.After almost an hour of driving, the car finally stopped near the beach. Michelle was no

"LET’S FOLLOW their car," Jacob suggested in his tone full of worry as he looked at the car sprinting away from their direction.Letting out a tired sigh, Michelle held him in his arm. Jacob turned to her with a frown, and she only shook her head."Let’s not be bothered about it anymore," she said, almost in a whisper.Jacob’s eyes narrowed. He inhaled sharply and said, "They might use it for a headline.""I’m aware of that, but we know we’re not doing anything wrong." She looked at the road where the paparazzi's car drove. "And even if we tried to follow them, their car sprinted away, and we’d just have a hard time searching for them."Jacob massaged his temples and couldn’t help but wince."This will put you in trouble, Michelle."Michelle nodded as she bit her tongue. She was all too aware of what would happen. Once their pictures came out on the news, her in-laws would be really ballistic

JUST AS SHE EXPECTED, the news about her having an affair went public the next morning. Michelle woke up seeing Ethan’s dangerous stare at her, so even though she had decided not to meet the trouble halfway, she could not help but feel anxious with the way he eyed her as if she was a terrible woman."What is the meaning of this, Michelle?!" Ethan roared as he stood next to the bed where she was sitting upright.Michelle almost jumped in her stance. Ethan’s voice was so loud, like thunder that echoed in every corner of her bedroom, and it made her feel nervous to the extent that she clutched her chest as she suddenly felt it was hard to breathe."I already told you last night. We didn’t do anything wrong, Ethan," she explained, but of course, with the looks of her husband right now, she already knew he would never believe her."These pictures are telling me otherwise!"

MICHELLE WOKE UP feeling light-headed. When she opened her eyes, the unfamiliar white ceiling was the first thing she saw. The air she inhaled smelled like a combination of a high-end air conditioner and medicine. She had figured out that she was lying on the hospital bed with the sound of the monitoring machine next to her.She gathered her strength and sat upright. Her eyes looked around the room. She was alone at the moment. Sighing, she tried to recall what happened before she got into the hospital. That’s when she remembered that she was supposed to get into a cab, but she felt so dizzy that she had lost consciousness.A nurse holding a monitoring sheet came in, and was surprised to see her awake. Walking to the bed where she was, the nurse checked the monitoring machine next to her and sighed in relief."I am glad you’re finally awake. How do you feel right now?" the nurse asked politely."Confused," Michelle replied, and suddenly felt t

EXITING out of the hospital, Michelle knew that she fucked up. She had fucked up in the worst possible way, and there was no way she could get herself out of this complete mess at this point in her life.Her eyes dropped to the paper bag that contained some vitamins and other prescriptions she had to take religiously for her pregnancy, but she couldn’t feel the happiness, despite the truth sinking in her head.A tear fell down her cheek, yet she was quick to wipe it immediately. Letting out a frustrated sigh, all she wanted was to get away. There was no way Ethan would accept this baby, and with the current issue she was facing after being involved in a scandal, she doubted if her husband would actually believe that the baby was his.The sun was just starting to dip behind the ocean when the cab she was in finally stopped at the beach in East Hampton. After paying for the cab fee, she exited it and let out a sigh as she glanced over at the crystal clear wa

IN MILAN, ITALY, SIX YEARS LATER,"You have a good taste in flowers," Michelle commented when a customer went in front of the cashier to pay for the bouquet of Camellias.The man, who looked very Italian because of his Roman nose and high cheekbones, offered her a friendly smile."It’s for my daughter. It’s her graduation today," the man answered."Wow, congratulations, Sir!" Michelle punched some buttons on the machine and said, "It’s only for ten euros."After paying for the flowers, the man said goodbye to her. Michelle’s gaze followed the man, and she couldn’t help but smile. One thing she learned as she observed the Italian locals was that they were fond of flowers. It was true that Italians were born romancers in their DNA, which was why when she came all the way here from the United States of America, she decided to open up a flower shop in a great spot where a lot of people would come and buy flowers.It

"THE VICTIMS were sent to the hospital for proper treatment," the cops told her the moment she arrived in the area where the accident happened. Michelle could not stop crying and asked the policeman which hospital her husband had been brought to, driving immediately as soon as she got the answer she needed. She dialed Megan’s phone number and informed her best friend about the name of the hospital so she could follow because she knew that Andrew also needed her. When she arrived in the hospital, she felt nothing but the dreadful feeling coursing through her. She wanted to compose herself, but her mind was already haywire because of all the worry she had for her husband. It felt like the rest of the world stopped revolving, and all she did was run and run... "Two victims of a car accident were sent to this hospital. Where are they?" she managed to ask the front desk officer. "How are you related to the victims, Ma’am?" "I am the wife of one of them," she answered, taking a deep bre

MICHELLE walked down the stairs with Marcus in her arms. She just finished breastfeeding him and now wanted to hang out with the people in the garden.The Steinfields, her father, and Megan were all out there, preparing for the New Year’s Eve that they would celebrate that night. They all came together to welcome another New Year, and she could not be more thankful that these people came to their house to join them for another chapter of their lives."Look at that little pumpkin. He has gotten bigger, Mich," Gregory commented and immediately took his grandson from her arms.Michelle giggled. "That baby loves to sleep and eat every single time.""He looks definitely like you when you were a baby.""I believe he definitely looks like Ethan. See those marble gray eyes, Dad?"Gregory chuckled. "Well, eyes won’t lie, I guess.""Of course, Dad."She could not help but smile seeing her father try to make Marcus giggle by making faces. It was such an adorable sight, and she felt honored to wi

SHE glanced around the men's boutique, her curious eyes efficiently trying to find good clothes or anything she could give Ethan as a gift for their year-end party. Ethan already had anything; name it and anyone would find it in his vast walk-in closet. That being said, Michelle was having difficulty deciding on the best gift she could give him—that one thing that would make him smile and surprise him."There are so many designer shoes at that corner. But I don’t know which one is good for Andrew," Megan stated, and it was followed with a sigh of defeat. "God, why is it so hard to find gifts for men?"Michelle laughed a bit. She could relate, as she was having difficulty choosing too. It just so happened that they both married men who had everything, so every year they’d end up cracking their heads trying to get them nice gifts."Are you able to choose anything?" Megan curiously asked her.She shook her head, pouting her lips. "Not yet. I don’t think work suits would be a good gift. H

HE brushed his fingertips over the soft angles of his wife’s face and could not help but adore every feature she had. It was his morning routine whenever he got to wake up first in the morning, and he would find his wife still sleeping soundly next to him.Needless to say, he’d become easily addicted to her and to this kind of morning with her. Her strawberry scent that kept him enticed every single day, her soft skin that kept him warm at nights, her laughter and soft touches that kept him sated and content, and her presence that made his world colorfulHe had no idea that a man like him, who had amnesia, could be in love so hard; madly and deeply. However, he wanted to treasure that moment at all costs. This kind of beauty in his life needed to be protected and kept.Michelle’s forehead formed a knot as she lifted her head. A soft moan escaped her closed mouth, which made him smile. Seconds later, she slowly opened her eyes and met his intent gaze."Good morning," he murmured under

"YOU’RE making me crave for sex," Ethan said, kissing her neck and sucking her skin sensually.Michelle’s lips parted. She was in deep pleasure, and whenever Ethan would say things like that, a big lustful part of her was getting more aroused.Her hands traveled around his firm back. She touched the muscles he had there. A moan escaped her lips when Ethan bit her neck firmly, making her dig her nails over her bare skin. She bit her lower lip and shut her eyes, but when Ethan claimed her lips again, everything went so fuzzy.It didn’t take long before the man was able to strip her naked. The cold air brushed against her skin, making her shiver. But when Ethan pulled up to stare at—admire—her naked body, she felt the scorching heat go to her. He looked at her as if she were a piece of beautiful art. The gleaming desire to take her was evident in his marble gray eyes, and the smile of contentment that curled in his lips gave her more confidence."You’re beautiful, Mich..." Ethan said bre

The ring of her cell phone jolted her awake. With a forehead crease, Michelle rose up and quickly turned off the alarm on her cell phone. It was already 6 o’clock in the morning. She hadn’t been able to sleep for at least six hours, but she had to get up and follow the "mom on call" schedule to better take care of her little sunshine—none other than Eionn Marcus.It had been what? A month had passed when she gave birth to their second child, and Michelle could still feel the excitement getting through her whenever she would walk into the nursery room, open the curtained windows to let the sunlight lighten up the entire solemn place, and wake up her little one by planting kisses on his fluffy cheeks.It had been her morning routine. She was strictly following the "mom on call" schedule because it wasn’t only giving her much time to bond with her baby but also making sure that Marcus’ health was always a top priority."Good morning, my little sunshine..." she greeted her baby with a hea

THE CAR was filled with her whimpers, cries and screams. Her nails dug over the leather seat in the passenger seat. She was lying down there, making a few deep breaths to relax herself but the great amount of pain consuming her entire body was making her ballistic and a mess.Beads of sweat had formed on her forehead. Her legs and belly were both getting numb as the minutes passed by. Ethan was driving the car so fast, completely alarmed by her situation. He was panicking so much, and so even she was in great pain, she reminded him to drive carefully as she didn’t want them to get into some road accident.“Oh, my God...” she murmured, crying. “I think I’m going to die. He’s coming out. Faster, Ethan!”“Uhm, you just told me to slow down a bit,” Ethan said nervously.“Fuck. I swear this will be the last time you’d be able to impregnate me!” she screamed on the top of her lungs and made a push before she took a few deep breaths again. “I really swear to God—““Calm down, Mich!

AFTER A MONTH, "WILL you be fine without us?" Michelle looked at her father. At first, she thought that the old man was teasing her, seeing how he curled his lips downward, but she realized that he was actually worried, seeing the worry in his eyes. Still smiling, she took a deep breath and softened her expression as she looked at her father, who she hadn't realized had become more frail as time passed. She was so busy with her life that she wasn’t able to watch out for her father. Distracted by what life had thrown her way, she didn’t notice that her father was really getting older. "I’m going to be fine." She checked over her shoulder and found Ethan, who was fixing a chandelier’s light bulb in the living room. "Ethan will be here, so you shouldn’t worry that much. I hope you and Marsha would enjoy hanging out." Her old man laughed heartily, shaking his head. He and Marsha would go to the school where they enrolled the little girl.

"GOSH, you have to calm down, Mich!" Megan said.Michelle shook her head, pacing back and forth in the living room. Her mother-in-law called an hour ago, saying that they would send Ethan back home. Selene did not mention whether the result of the surgery turned out well or not, so she could not calm down a bit even though the people around her were telling her to do so.Megan and Andrew came to visit as they were excited to find out how the surgery went. All of them were in the living room, waiting for her husband to arrive. Holding her pregnant belly, she didn’t stop walking around, getting very impatient as she wanted to know how the surgery turned out for Ethan."I don’t understand why Mom didn’t tell me how it went," she said and stopped in front of them, biting her fingernails. "Do you think it went bad and that’s why she couldn’t tell me?""We can’t assume, Mich," her father said, sipping on his coffee."Your Dad is right. We can’t assume unless we see it personally," Andrew ad
