She was his reason why he remained single for years, not ready to be committed to anyone. He didn't want to open old wounds.
"Its okay if you don't want to..."Flora wanted to stop him.
" No you have to hear it. You won't ask me if you didn't want to hear it."His tone was a bit harsh,like he was saying the words angrily. Flora keep mute as she stared at him till he was ready to talk. She could sense a sad story. There was always a sad story in the thing of the past.

She could understand the trauma one can go through losing a loved one and she didn't blame him for his breakdown. It was certainly tragic. She picked her phone and dialed Yvonne's number. It rang thrice before she picked up with broad smile. It was a different time of the day where she was, so the day was brighter and Flora could see her well in a room."I just got back from work. You?" Yvonne asked "Same. We worked late today, so..." she didn't dare tell Yvonne she went on a date. "Vonn who's that?"

He was not in his broken mood like yesterday so she gave a sigh of relief."You called so sudden, I thought..." she said but he cut in with his finger pointing at her. He stands up and sits on his own desk right in front of her. "Guess you won't be alone now" he said with another smile."What do you mean?" she asked her boss."Marcus agreed to you staying at his place" he announced"That's great news Allen!" Flora was surprise at the quick response she got from Allen, she wasn't ready to hear that good news yet.

She hadn't thought about it earlier, same house or not. Her night would still be lonely. Yvonne was the only perfect person. It felt more awkward here. No memory of her, her scent gone, everything smell so new at the same time old. She picked up her phone and sigh loudly. How was she going to get through to Allen, she seriously needed company. Or would she made friends with Stella tonight? No. She's probably asleep with her husband. She moved to her message and typed. "Asleep" she sent to Allen. She grabbed her pillow tighter and grunts and wished sleep could come. Her phone beeped and she immediately checked it.'Open the door?' the message said. 'Oh my God' she whispered under her breath. Was he coming to her room before? How could he knows she would still be awake. She put on her night gow

He said he wanted to stay with his sons a bit longer, since they won't be staying at his place. They assisted him to the door and when they opened it.

She keeps quiet and wait for Clark to talk. To say things she wanted to hear and didn't want to hear. "We all make mistakes. So I regret all my mistakes in the past. "He started, his voice soft and gentle as he goes slow. She could feel how he was aging and she felt a guilt in her heart for making him pass through all this explanation. "I also regret making our problem our children's problem too. They had to adapt to the changes then. We made them go through a lot." "You made them go through a lot."

TAKEN AUTHOR'S NOTE
AUTHOR'S NOTE.LESSONS?Not all story has a morale lesson, but luckily TAKEN does. Being set in a Marriage standard, there was bound to be something to learn, maybe one or two or even more.You see, a big fact about fictional story is that 90 percentage of those reading can relate to 75 percent of the scenes and conflict because we are our own story.But note that if you're facing the same thing in a story you read, it doesn't have to end up the way the story did.I wouldn't point out the characters mistake as wrong nor would I point their achievement as right. Because we all have different point of view.Whatever felt right in this book to you is right and whatever is wrong to you is wrong. No matter what any other person says.FAVORITE CHARACTER?Maybe I should announce my favorite character. Haha. But it doesn't make any other character feel less important.Your favorite can be the Protagonist or the Antagonist

TAKEN fifty six.Spencer didn’t understand what was going on in this family, but he definitely knew that it was a conflict he shouldn’t interfere in. But with the kind of amount Stella was offering him, he had to do what she wanted. As far he was going to be safe at the end. He had bargained a certain price for the job, he was not going to do it himself, so he still had other people to pay and he insisted on the high price for Stella.She literally agreed without much bargaining. “You listen and follow my instructions very well. Make sure you get a call from me confirming before you go ahead” she pointed.Spencer nod and gives her shake. “Nice doing business with you Stella” he said and gave a wink.If all the trouble was not so much, he literally wanted to lure her to bed.

She wouldn’t deny how happy she was to finally get Marcus to forgive her. She really thought she was going to lose the game this time around, but luckily, nature was on her side. Like she had expected, Yesterday sex with her husband was blissful like their marriage was before she destroyed it and before he finally destroyed it too.

Stella could suspect them both. But Stella knowing about it? He didn't think so. Marcus couldn't get enough sleep at night. He just kept thinking about what Jenifer had told him. He was caught by mum and that was why she left, she must have been so disappointed in her son, doing the same thing their father did, no one to lay an example. Well maybe Allen was the good one. He was obviously from the mother side. But if Stella knew about it why was she keeping cool. He decided to ask her. But how was he going to do that. He didn't want to be too direct too.
