The Taylors were getting ready to attend a party. Their business partners, Mr. Ricky and Mrs. Charee Williams were celebrating their 20th wedding anniversary. They’re like family more than business partners and they’ve known each other since their teenage years.
Arianna was fixing her daughter’s hair when, “Mom, could you please put lipstick on me?” She narrowed her eyes, “Why do you need to put on lipstick? Darling, you don’t have to; you are already the most beautiful," she replied.
“Please Mom, I want lipstick because I wanted Chadrick to notice me," Allesandra persuaded her mom. She even showed her puppy eyes. Chadrick is the only son of Mr. and Mrs. Williams and 12 years older than Allesandra. She believes he’s her hero, her prince, like those in her mother’s bedtime stories.
“What did you just say Allesandra? You are only 6 years old princess,” her dad Alex reacted. He seemed surprised while Arianna giggled. Someone smirked with a suppressed laugh from behind and it was Andrew her annoying elder brother.
She was really excited to see him that she nearly throws a tantrum before they left for the party. She insisted to leave after she got dressed up and that was what happened. They arrived an hour early than the scheduled time.
While her parents were busy talking to the Williams, she walked around to search for Chadrick. She was giggling and smiling the moment she found him. "There you are!" She ran straight to him and screamed “Chadrick! Catch me!”
Chadrick bent with open arms to catch her. “Wow, this little princess got bigger!” he swung her around. “A few years from now I can’t lift you anymore,” he added.
“That’s right! She’s getting heavier eating all her nuggets and ice creams,” that was Andrew who grinned mischievously.
“Chadrick do I look cute and pretty?” she showed her beautiful eyes. “Yes! Without a doubt princess!” he kissed her cheek.
“Dad, Chadrick kissed me and he said I’m pretty!" she giggled. "He likes me too! I want to marry him!” she announced excitedly.
“I think I’m getting a heart attack right now!” Alex uttered with a meaningful stare. “I love her and she will always be my little sister," Chadrick laughed loudly.
“Is that so? Let’s see in the near future," Alex responded in doubt. "I will keep an eye on you," then the room was filled with smiles and laughter.

Ring... Ring... Ring... That was my alarm. Arrrgghhh! Still sleepy but must go to university because of my last semester's final exam. I needed to pass so I could finish college and make Chadrick proud of me. He’s my greatest inspiration, my deepest why, and My Knight!. Eager to complete BS in Business Ad, - yes, I enrolled for a business course because I wanted to fit in with Chadrick’s world. I chose Chicago University because of the tri-semester program they were offering. With that, I could get my degree faster and join Chadrick in the mundane of business. I didn't care if it’s tough as long as I’m with him. I didn't want to get late for school that was why I pushed myself for a quick shower. Left only with my lingerie’s I looked myself in the mirror. I got long legs with my 5’7 height. My body curve is in great shape at 19. “Whoa! I turned into one fine lady and it suited me. After the shower, I walked into my closet full of wardrobes. I c

We safely arrived on time at Hotel Williams and when we entered the foyer, their staff were happily greeting the guests. I was walking behind my parents along with Andrew and my eyes wandered around. I couldn't deny the fact that those beautiful paintings and chandeliers were amazing. The architectural design is truly magnificent; world-class! Chicago really has a lot of luxury hotels to offer. One of the staff led us to the function room because the party is about to start. At the function, we are welcomed by Mr. and Mrs. Williams “Hi Arriane, you look gorgeous,” Charee complimented. Mom thanked her before they hugged each other. She glanced at me from behind “ Allesandra, Is that you? You’re marvelous!" she smiled widely at me. "If you’re not with your parents, I wouldn't recognize you,” she pulled me closer and kissed my cheek. Still not contented, she whispered, “You’re ravishing!” I smiled and giggled like a schoolgirl. “I

I looked at Chadrick and it was visible that he knows why I acted like that. There was a hint in his eyes that he wanted to comfort me, but decided not to. I realized that in the span of five months he has changed. I focused on my studies to finish early, unaware that in that period of time someone was able to snatch him from me. I’m on the edged of losing him to that woman for good. It felt like my world crumbled down in an instant. My stomach was churning and pain’s burning my chest. I couldn't breathe. I felt jealousy about his past relationship with other women but with Vanessa, it's different. I could feel that he was serious about her and worst, he will really marry her. I don't know how to move on with my life if that happens. I looked at Andrew and requested him to walk me to the car. It could be seen easily from him that my legs were shaky because of uneasiness. He sat up and informed them that he needed to go too for he has early businesses to sort out tomo

We arrived at Club Sirene, located on the 16th floor of Agua Hotel in the beautiful City of Chicago. Bella pulled me inside into a couch where I saw a man seated. “Marco, we’re here!” Bella waved as we approached him. “Marco, this is my best friend Alle" Bella introduced. “It’s so nice to meet you Alle. I'm Bella's cousin,” he extended his hand which I gladly shook. I smiled at him and he reciprocated. I could see his one energetic kind of man. Right away, he ordered margaritas and martinis for us while he chose whisky. Because I focused on my studies, I don’t really go to clubs. I drink occasionally, yes, but not that hard. We talked a lot of things about Marco on why he's in Chicago and we learned that he got involved in a fight because he defended a woman from a jerk. I find it cute though but still, it was trouble. Maybe the girl is special. As he talked,I find his reasons funny and stupid. He left because he wanted his parents to cool down and boun

Marco dialed his number using my mobile phone and put it on a speaker.After three rings, “Hello Alle?” he answered. I thought he wouldn't and that surprised me. “Hi, sorry to call you at this time,” Marco spoke seriously. “Who are you? Why Alle’s phone with you?” Chadrick reacted immediately. Maybe he wondered why it was a man's voice. "I’m Marco the cousin of Alle’s best friend Bella," Marco introduced himself right away. "I called because I’m having a hard time with these two drunken women. I don’t know who to call. I saw your only name in her emergency calls," he started to explain. "Sorry to bother you but will you able to fetch her in the Club Serene 16th floor Agua Hotel? I’m afraid I can’t handle them both," he added. Though he sounded serious, he was smiling and winking at me in front of him. Crazy! “I’ll be there in 10 minutes. Please keep them safe,” Chadrick replied instantly. Marco dropped the call and beamed like an

"What is the meaning of this?!" we were startled by a noise. When we opened our eyes, it was Dad and the wrath on his face was strongly visible. Chadrick didn't know what to do that he jumped out of bed and covered me with the duvet. "Let me explain, Alex!" Chadrick panicked but the anger in Dad was beyond his limit. I tried to open my mouth but no words came out. “Explain? You deceived me Chadrick!" he pointed his fingers. "You betrayed me!” dad panted as he shouted in front of Chadrick. “How could you? Is this what you call treatment for your sister? By f****** her? he was furious and too much to handle. “Dad, please listen," I interjected fearfully. "Nothing happened between us!" I tried to explain. “Do you see yourself right now, Allessandra?" he frowned. I know I was only on my lingeries and Chadrick was topless. Whoever will see us will definitely think the same way as Dad. I couldn't blame him and it was all my fault. "Tell me again that nothin

After I showered, I changed to a floral dress with a length above my knee and decided to put on some lotion. My brother suddenly appeared from my door “Alle, what will happen now?” I answered him with the truth that I'm not sure about Chadrick's decision. Nothing happened between us but Dad won’t believe me. But still, I’m so ashamed that they witnessed us under that state. Arrghh!. “You’re likely to get Dad a heart attack,” he clucked his tongue. “Yeah, I know and I felt sorry for that” I replied wearily. We were all in the dining to have our breakfast. My Dad, Mom, Andrew, and Chadrick. I chose to sit beside Andrew across from Chad. No one has ever talked and all that could be heard were clicks of the utensils. I bowed my head and thought, "Jeez! awkward!". After a few minutes, Dad put his utensils down and placed both his elbows on top of the table as he clasped his hands. “Alle, after breakfast you need to pack your things," he said seriously.

I sat on my bed and leaned my head at the headboard. I recalled the entire incident that led me to where I am. All I wanted as per Marco’s suggestion was to try to seduce Chad and to only find out about his feelings. I never thought that our plan will turn out the way I wanted it to be. Our stupid plan has caused good and bad results. Good because it was what I wanted and bad because there’s a lot of trouble that may come the way and needs to be sorted. I wondered if Dad will be okay soon. He was so upset and I felt guilty about it. Jeez! I nearly killed my father with a heart attack. I know he was ultra disappointed about my childish act but still, I hope I'll be forgiven soon. I was looking at the ceiling and wondering what will happen to Vanessa. I know he's smitten by that woman and I don't know how will he explain about us to her. I felt worried about what would be our setup or if there will be in our situation. Whatever it is, I know I could d

We were on our way to my parent's house to fetch our three years old daughter Alana. She was with Mom and Dad because Chadrick and I attended an event the whole afternoon. No one could babysit her because our helper went to his family for a special occasion. When I stepped inside the house, I saw my daughter running to us happily. Chadrick carried and hugged her tightly because he missed her so much. When we were at the function, he wanted to go home early just to be with his daughter. "I missed you, my princess! Let's get home," I told her but she shook her head. "Grandy!!" he called for her grandfather to get her from us right away. Chadrick and I looked at each other confused about what was happening to her. "Princess, it's getting late c'mon say goodbye to Granny and Grandy," that was Chadrick persuading her. She held onto Dad's neck tightly with her head on the nook of his shoulder. "I want to stay with Grandy," she murmured audibly. I was surprised abou

I was sitting on the couch watching a drama movie - as always because it's my favorite genre when I felt something wet and weird. Chadrick!!! I called my husband when I saw liquid dripping down my legs. He rushed to me and asked if something's wrong. I told him that my water broke and we need to go to the hospital. I could feel the contractions and pain and surely, it was time. He carried me bridal style to the car since the bag we prepared for my delivery was already placed in the compartment. "Are you okay?" he asked when we are in the delivery room because he saw me enduring an excruciating amount of pain. I was lying on the delivery bed sweating hard and wincing in pain with my face tear-stricken. Chad held my hand and planted a kiss on my temple. "Baby, I'm just here, we can do it," he whispered with encouragement. Doctor Howard instructed me to endure one long push and I took a deep breath before doing it. I held my husband's hand and my grip tightened

Six months passed our wedding and we were so busy doing our own thing. I managed to start my own flower shop business and hired a quite number of people. Chadrick has a lot on his plate because of his new projects but he never made it an excuse to not give me attention every day. Indeed, he learned his lesson before and I felt so happy about it. I was sitting on our bed with my head leaning on the headboard while watching a romantic drama movie. I could say that I'm enjoying crunching a bowl of popcorn. The bathroom door was pushed open and Chardrick got out in his towel after a quick shower. Surprisingly, I cried and he came closer in panic. "Baby, what's wrong?" he asked worriedly. I sniffed "The man in the movie cheated on his wife. Why do men cheat?" I was upset looking at him. He hissed "Baby, it's just a movie. Not all men are cheaters," he consoled and caressed my shoulder. "You men always say that but you're all liars," he stunned at my reaction. "You should

I felt so nervous standing in front of the church to walk down the aisle. When the door was pushed open, I started to move forward slowly. Mom and Dad were waiting in the middle for me to reach them and to escort me through the altar. All eyes were on me in my mermaid wedding dress which extremely fitted in my slender figure. The moment I stopped in front of my parents “I can’t believe my baby is getting married,” that was Dad. He was really emotional since the beginning of the day, unlike Mom who couldn't hold her grin in full excitement. When we were nearing the altar, I could see my entourage in full smiles and giggles. When I looked at Chadrick, his lips were trembling and his eyes brimming in tears. He was an undeniably handsome and charming groom in his three-piece suit. In front of him, Dad tapped his shoulder “It’s awkward that from now on, you’ll call your business partner, Dad,” he chuckled while Mom laughed beside me. The priest commenced t

She looked at me like she was hesitant to tell so I brushed it away and changed the topic. "So, how long are you working in the company?" out of my curiosity. "I was employed three weeks ago," she disclosed. I realized that was why she got scolding because she's crawling and not that expert yet. "Anyways, It's so nice to meet you, Faith," I pressed her hand softly "I guess we could be friends from now on," I smiled but she stilled. "I'll be visiting the office often and I'll see you around," I bid goodbye because I knew Chad is waiting for me. When I got back, I saw Chadrick standing beside my table. I smiled at him and asked if he's waiting for too long. He only replied for me to take my time. I picked up my bag for us to go but not before making sure the stuff of Helen was back in proper place neat and clean. Chadrick and I were walking out of the office with his hands at the back of my waist. I sighted some employees smiling at us and some were wishing a g

No one was able to answer him and they just bowed their heads. “What’s the problem here?” I know he sensed that something’s odd so he introduced me to them. “Everyone, this is Allesandra Taylor, my fiancée," he held my hand "she’s the daughter of Alex Taylor our business partner," he informed calmly. "I just want to let you know that we are getting married soon so you might see her often in this office," he added. All the people in the room were surprised to know me. The woman who was furious a while ago stared at me unable to form a word in disbelief. I saw her face was burning in embarrassment. I was hoping she learned her lesson to not judge people easily and be a good leader to her people. “Baby, you’re just here," he pulled me out of that room. "I thought something happened to you because you're not answering your phone,” he sounded worried. "Sorry I left my phone on my table" I apologized briefly. When we got back to his office, he tugged me to the couc

I hurriedly called Bella after reading her message and she quickly picked it up in two rings. "Spill the tea!" I sounded lively but I heard her breathed out. "Marco's girl left without a trace and he's devastated," she unveiled. We talked for few more minutes and I shared my observation about him before I left New York. I was right that he's in a dilemma over his woman. But I believed he could definitely overcome his pain and eventually move on because he's a strong person. *** It was my first day to assist Chadrick in his office and I find everything running smoothly. Whenever I felt like I needed to use a bathroom, I choose the one outside to refrain from seeing him in his office because we might end up kissing each other. Whenever I stepped inside his office, he couldn't stop himself away from me. I'm afraid we could get naked in no time and couldn't finish the work effectively. In the afternoon, I left him a message that I will go downstairs to get

"What is it, Helen?" he asked right away. She narrated that her daughter was rushed to a hospital because she's about to give birth. She said her due date will fall not until next week but it's happening so soon. Chadrick permitted her to take a break and help her daughter in the meantime because the husband was out for his navy duties. She thanked Chadrick for his understanding and compassion. She did not waste more time and left the office immediately. Chadrick sat down to his executive chair and sighed. Worry was clearly visible on his face "What's wrong?" I caressed his arm. He pulled me to sit on his lap "It's hard to work without Helen's help for two weeks," he sniffed on my neck. I hummed "I can help in her absence," I sounded playful. "Will you?" he pulled out from my nook and looked me intently in the eyes. "In one condition," I twisted my lips. "Baby, what is it?" he furrowed his brows. I smiled at him "Don't tell anyone about us," which made him frown. I tol

I felt ashamed and if my feeling could kill, I would definitely be six feet under the ground. I thanked God for giving me a cool mom but I never expected him to give me the coolest one. Or I might say the craziest mom one could ever have. I shook my head and buried my face in the palm of my hands. I was really tired after shopping with Mom. I went home and wallowed in a bubble bath while waiting for Chad to get home. I leaned my head on the headrest with my eyes closed and thought about the happenings in my life. Being happy was an understatement and what I felt is beyond it. It’s true that every relationship has its problems, but what makes it triumphant is if you still want to be together when things go wrong. I knew there were times that I’m actually hard to be with but still, he chose me. He fell in love with my childish behavior and I was really thankful that he kept me despite many reasons not to. I have a lot of flaws and shortcomings that could definite
