Ash woke up, and he couldn't move his body. He feels like a heavy stone or an object sleeps on top of him."Ahmm." he roared.He slowly opens his eyes, and he isn't sure of what he is staring at. He slowly caressed his eyes with his hands."What the." he groaned and his eyes widened.He quickly pushed Ivanna on top of him. She fell."Ouch!" Ivanna groaned, on the ground.Ivanna was holding her back and waist. She was throwing him a death glare."What the hell is your problem?" she asked, angrily."Why are you on top of me?" he asks.Ivanna's eyes widened, Ash was throwing her a death glare."What? that's impossible. I thought it was the pillow I was hugging." she said.They both stared at the pillow on the floor. Ivann bites her nails, in shame."Ohh, am I that fluffy and soft? I am not fat." he scoffed.Ivanna threw him the pillow."Shut it!" he said.Ash went downstairs to take his coffee. Ivanna was fixing the bed."That man, feeling so whatever." she whispered.They decided to get

Ash said.Ivanna thought of it."Do you want to?" she asks him.Ash blurted his gaze at her."Of course, I missed my mom's food." he said, glaring at her.Ivanna smiled, now they agreed to go and have dinner with them."So, we're going later. Are you not going back to yor desk and do your job?" he asked her.Ivanna shook her head."I don't want to." she said.Ash was staring at her."Did you do something again?" he asked.Ivanna didn't stare at hm back.FLASHBACKIvanna was eating her snack alone at her desk when someone throw her a chips, at first she didn't give them a damn."Look who's snob!" the man said.That man was the man she fought yesterday, and that they hated each other. That man was
Ash summoned the couple to come to his office, after they were finished to the clinic. The couple were on their way to his office. He told his wife that they were coming."Okay, Let's see their faces." she said, laughing.The door opened, and they didn't see Ivanna sitting on the sofa. Ash told them to sit down, they sat down in front of him."So, can you tell me what really happened?" he asks."Sir, that woman was really bad, she just didn't hurt us but some of us in that area." the woman said.Ivanna noticed that she was flirting with him, due to the tone of her voice."And?" he asks.The man replied to him."You need to fire her, she was bad and feisty. We're just telling her to do her job but she was still rude to talk back at us." he said.Ash sighed, he knew that they were both lying. Ivanna was making a face, at their back."Is that so?" Ash asked.they both nodded."Okay, Candice, is that true?" he asked.the couple was shocked and freaked out to see her that she was watching t
"So, when are you going to have a baby?" Ash father's asked.Ivanna chokes out."OMG! Here, drink it." Mrs. Villareal handed her water."Honey, you startled her." Mrs. Villareal told him.His father was worried and apologized."Are you okay, now?" their mom asked her."Yes, mom. I'm just shocked."Ivanna said, smiling.Ash groaned."I'm sorry to startle you. Me and your mom were just too excited to have a little kid running around the house." their father said.Ivanna and Ash didn't know how to react, they wanted to laugh like they wanted to chuckle. Ivanna kicks his foot underneath the table making him glare at her."I'm also excited, when are you going to decide?" their mom, clears her throat."Mom!" Ash told her.His mom just gave them a peace sign, smiling bitterly. Their dinner went on nicely, they enjoyed and also finished out the foods."Okay, take care, okay? Dwayne, drive safe, okay?" their mom told them.They kissed their parents goodbye and went inside the car."Why are you k
Ivanna continued to glare at him, Ash felt hot because of that."Ambitious." she said."Silly." he replied."Hey, stop it." she said, sipping her coffee.Ash stops, watching her drinking her coffee."So, you didn't make me coffee?" he asked.Ivanna chuckles, he's like a child asking for a coffee."I was waiting for you, and wanted to ask you if you want to drink coffee." she said, smiling.Ash nodded, and he told her to make him coffee."What do you want? hot or warm?" she asks from the kitchen."Warm please." he said.Ivanna went back to make his coffee, she was done. She was slowly walking. She didn't see the slipper in front of her, he was shocked and the coffee was poured onto her."Wahhh!" she shouted.Ash quickly stood up to help her, he took off his shirt and started to wipe her dress."Oh my God, it's a good thing it's not that hot." Ivanna said.Ash continued to wipe it but he was stunned and Ivanna also, remembered she didn't wear a bra."Oh no." she quickly said.Ash was stu
Ivanna went first to their room after their awkward conversation. She felt a hot sore on her chest and saw burns. She felt it was burned so she directly applied a lotion, and she saw a red mark on it."Thank God." she whispered, nothing blistered.Ash was waiting for her to sleep, he decided to go upstairs after an hour making sure that she was already asleep. He was still thinking about what happened, he was worried that her skin might have some burns. "It's already passed hour." whispered, staring at the wall clock.He stood up, turned off the TV, and checked all the doors and windows and even the gas stove. After that, he switched off all the lights and slowly walked upstairs. He slowly opened the door, and he was relieved to see that she was peacefully sleeping, because she was snoring."Jesus, she keeps snoring." he said.That moment, he took the chance to lie down, but slowly. Took the blanket, and he was stunned to see that she was still not wearing her bra."Why do girls don't
Ash and Ivanna went to the station, early in the morning."Here we are." she said.Ivanna was nervous, Ash stared at her, held her hand making her shocked."Let's go." he said.The couple bully were sitting, staring at them while smirking, telling them it was the end for her."Hi, we're here for them." Ash said, pointed them."Oh, so you're the one who beat them?" the police ask him.Ash shook his head, making the police shocked."Then who?" he asked.Ivanna pops out from his back. the police laugh out."You've got to be kidding me!" he said, laughing while staring at the couple.The police told them to sit."So, we summoned you here because they (pointing to the couple beside them) wanted to make a case with you, they told me that you beat them up without any reason?" he asked.Ivanna chuckles."For God's sake, I don't beat anyone without any reason, police officer." he sad.The police thought she has a point."But sir, look what she's done to us." the woman said.Ash gave him the CCT
"She's too hard to get, unlike the other girls I dated before." he said.Ash told him, maybe she's not like the other girls he has dated."You know, Ivy is like Ivanna, they were both hard to get as I guessed.." Ash said."Where's your wife?" Ezekiel asked him.Ash was surprised, that he was asking for his wife. He told him that she was at her workplace, and Ezekiel told him to summon her."Okay, okay, she's coming," Ash said."What are you trying to do?" he asked him."Well, I'm just going to ask her about Ivy." he said, smiling.Ash threw his pencil at him."Jesus!" Ash said.Later Ivanna arrived, Ezekiel thought that she was too pretty but Ash didn't fall in love with her so easily."So, you're here?" Ivanna frowned at Ezekiel.Ivanna sat down beside him. Ash was just watching them."Ivanna, can you please help me to your best friend?" Ezekiel asked.Ivanna wanted to laugh."What? Are you kidding me? Did you just summon me for that?!" she asked, chuckling."I'm sorry, he was persist
Ivanna and the head of the police saw the preacher coming."Oh, I think they're done. Let's go." the police said.They headed to Rhea's area and he told her to wait for her at the area where she can talk to her.

Rhea said.Ivanna diverted to gaze at her."I already forgave you a long time ago." Ivanna said.Andrea was very shocked."You're such a nice person. You deserve to be loved and cherished. I'm happy that Ash loves you and you love him too." she said.Andrea tears up and she is s
"What if I still can't forgive? It's okay if you aren't ready to forgive someone; just take some time to think about it. If you decide you are ready, but you're having trouble working through the steps, you can also try these suggestions:Talk about the situation with people you trust. An outsider's perspective can help shed new light on things.Write down your thoughts and emotions. They can become clearer once they're on paper.Speak to a professional. If your experience is particularly hard or complicated, it can be really useful to talk to an expert, such as a counsellor.Forgiveness isn't always an easy process, and it's understandable if you struggle with it. But it's worth trying out some of the suggestions above, to see if you can re-shape the way you think and feel about the past and let go of any hurt feelings around it." the preacher added.Rhea was being hit by its words and statements. It's not just her but all of them who were there in that hall. She didn't know how she e

Ash drives Rhea's mom going to the prison."Are you sure, you don't want to see her?" Rhea's mother asked.Ash went with her, he had once loved and cherished her. They were waiting for Rhea to come."Mom." she said.But started to cry when she saw Ash."Ash...." she whispered.Rhea's mom left them, she wants them to have closure and to forgive each other."What are you doing here?" she asked."I'm here to see you for the last time." he said.Rhea was hurt by his words."Okay, so you can go now." she said."No, unless, we forgave each other. Your mom is right, we once loved and cherished each other but I'm here to forgive you for what you did because I know you." he said.Rhea just cried and nodded."I'm so sorry, I didn't dare to hit her." she sa
"I, Ashford, take you, Ivanna, to be my wife; to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse; for richer, for poorer; in sickness and in health; to love and to cherish; until we are parted by death." Ashford said with a smile on his face.Ivanna was tearing up."I, Ivanna, take you, Ashford, to be my husband; to have and to hold from this day forward, for better, for worse; for richer, for poorer; in sickness and in health; to love and to cherish; until we are parted by death." she said smiling."May I please have the rings?" the priest said.It was Adrian who was their ring bearer, he's so cute.The priest handed the rings to both of them."Since ancient times, the ring has been a symbol of the unbroken circle of love, with no beginning and no end. Love given freely has no giver and no receiver, for each is the giver and each is the receiver. May these rings always remind you of the freedom and power of this commitment you make here today." the priest said."Ash, wh
Ash called Zeke to tell the police to take it easy. He parks his car behind her car. He saw her coming out and ran towards him.Rhea hugs him so tight."I'm really sorry, I was just jealous and I hated her so much." she said.Ash understands her feelings but he doesn't want to let her escape from what she did."I know, I know, shhh." he said.Rhea started to cry and sobs but she was alerted when she saw many lights surrounded by them."Ash.. did you." she whispered.Ash sighed and smirked."I'm sorry." he said.The police went near them and handcuffed her hands. Rhea was very miserable, she was crying out loud and kept on asking for his help but Ash wanted her to think of what she did."You have the right to remain silent." the police told her.Rhea can't get out of their grip. One of the police drives her car following them. Ash was left and the sunset came out."I'm sorry." he whispered.He went back to the hospital and he was shocked to see Ivanna talking with her parents and their
Ash woke up so early and went to the hospital. He was so hopeless to see his wife lying down on the bed unconscious."Mom dad, I think you need to go home. I'll be here to watch her." he said.Tina and Langston really need to rest."Stay with her." they told him and left.When he hears the door close, he walks slowly towards her. He caressed her face and fixed her face."You look so pretty." he said."I know, it's the first time I ever tell you that." he whispered.He held her hand and his eyes landed on her baby bump."Hello baby, I'm your daddy. I'm sorry I didn't know you were there." he sighed.Ivy and Zeke saw him by the window and they decided to watch him first."I'm really sorry, it is all my fault." he said and hugged Ivanna.Ivy and Zeke went emotional, they pitied him. Ash wipes his tears when he hears the door open."How are you?" Zeke asked."I'm good." he said.Ivy was just silent and fixed Ivanna's posture."You know what, Ivanna keeps talking about you. How hard-headed
Ezekiel was worried, he knew how ruthless he was when he was very angry. Ash went out and Ezekiel was chasing him but Ivy called him."Zeke, tell me. Is it her?" Ivy asked.Zeke went mute."Yes." he said.Ivy massages her head and controls her anger."I'm going to kill that bitch!" she said."Ivy, let's calm down first. Let's wait for the result if it was really her." he said.He didn't say that the car was familiar to them and they couldn't see the driver because it was tinted. Ezekiel thinks that maybe she hired or she is really the driver. The nurses transferred Ivanna to her room, many dextroses were being wired at her."Bessy, wake up." Ivy holds her hands.Ivy even caressed her baby and stuck her ear on it."I know you're there and you can hear me, Please tell your mom to wake up, okay." she whispered.Tina and Langston were watching them."You can't blame Ivy on how protective she is of Ivanna. They grew up together since they just a baby, they were more like sisters and they re
"She should have been here a while back, it was just a minute from there." her dad said.They were very worried until their home phone rang."Yes?" her dad answered."Is this Langston Hendrix?" from the phone asked.He didn't know but he was starting to feel numb."Yes." he said."You need to come here immediately to the hospital. Your daughter was just hit by a car." the staff said.Langston let go of the phone and he started to feel numb. Tina was very curious about what happened."What happened?" she asks.He was just staring at her."Honey!" she said.They rushed into the hospital, no one dared to talk inside the car. Tina even called Ivy and Ivy was very worried."Aunty." she cried and hugged her.Langston was numb and he didn't know what to do."Please, get my daughter out of danger." he whispered.They were outside, waiting for the doctor to come out from the emergency room. There, one of the witnesses came near them."She was walking on the road towards the cake shop, but a car

You need to eat more so that you and your baby will be healthy." her dad said.She was very happy that she had parents who were very supportive of her.

And he knows something isn't right."Honey, did you come up already with the name of your baby?" her dad asked.Tina and her daughter laughed."Honey, her belly was still one month old and we can figure out the baby's gender after 3 months." his wife said.Langston was very demured and shocked."Oh, I forgot." he said and
