Godmothers.

Harper sank further into her bed with each knock that resonated across the room. She had a pillow pressed to her face to suppress her son while her whole body shook with tremors.

She was in a terrible funk.

How was she supposed to know that Andy's wife, Rina was going to take things to the next level? She hadn't even recognized the woman when she first saw her. She didn't know who she was not until everything came to light. Her eyelids feel heavy and her stomach keeps churning and churning, filled with heavy disgust at herself.

“Harper, come on. Open the damn door!” She heard Willow's tired voice from the other end, beckoning on her.

She didn't move from her bed. It wasn't that she didn't want to see her friends. She wanted badly nothing more but to be around the people she loved and truly cared for. But Sophie.

The way she had looked at her like she was gum under her shoe had made all negatives rise in her life.

She had called on Sophie first before any other person be

    "I don't know, babe. I want to go as planned but...” Joyce trailed off for the umpteenth time she'd been on the phone. The display lights in her office shone on her beautiful face and dropped to the screen of her tab where she had been busy all day.Her eyes kept dropping with exhaustion and a single glance at her would tell the tired lines of her face. Amidst catering to her friends' needs and running her business, her plans were starting to crumble.“So, what do you want to do?” Nick's baritone smooth voice filtered in from the speakers and she sighed.“I guess I will just have to postpone till next weekend again.” She shrugged, shuffling one of her drawers open for a pen.“Maybe, ” Nick didn't sound cool with her response and Joyce knew it. “Look babe, these people are your friends. Friends. If you tell them you gotta go, they will understand. I know that you know that. This is your life we are talking about here.” Nick grumbled.“I know.

    Sophie knew that when she didn't get the call, there was a high chance that all the yelling and screaming would be done in person.It was why she wasn't surprised when her father barged into her office in the middle of a discussion with a client. Her gaze darted from that of the man seated in front of her with his assistant to her father who had just barged in. A single glance at him and Sophie could already see how livid he looked.He nearly had her door unhinged with how loudly he banged it shut. And there was that glimmer in his eyes. The dangerous fire glints that Sophie absolutely hated. She pursed her lips before lifting her gaze from him to her clients' stunned ones. The man could read the room and he definitely knew it was time to go.“I guess the meeting is adjourned. Thank you, I will be sure to get back to you.” Sophie's smile was grim and her hands were stiff when she shook the man's hand formally. Without sparing a glance at Kristen, she silently nudged that she saw th

    Tyler's POV“Hold on, you did what?” Tyler almost screamed into the phone before he managed to collect himself, looking around the car park.“I called Mantha,” Gab said slowly, enunciating every word for Tyler to understand. His rich choice was filled with depth and something akin to frustrations boomed through the speakers.“Why?”Tyler was speechless not because his best friend of childhood days had gone ahead to call his cousin to ask her something as delicate as this but because he didn't think that they communicated at all.“Why, not?” Gab breathed. “Look man, I'm doing everything I can to find her. And if I can find her through Mantha, why not?” Gab spoke again.Tyler exhaled and glanced away from the ground to smooth the creases of his jeans jacket sleeves. He opened his mouth to say something when he saw Sophie coming in.Instantly without conscious of his activity, his lips drew into a small smile at her. She was walking toward him, taking her steps slow and steady while her

Tyler didn't know exactly what Andy was willing to talk about but he was about ready to be done with it before it even started. To him, men like Andy should never be given the chance to speak in public.“I thought it was you I saw at the restaurant that day, ” Andy shoved his hands into his pants, his lips curved into a smirk.“Of course. Who else would have been proper to catch you in the middle of infidelity.” Tyler shot at him, his face a blank mask. “Your wife deserves someone better. I wonder why she sticks around.” He added, maintaining his glare.“Like you?” Andy was frowning deeply. “Someone better like you?” he cocked his head to the side to access him.Tyler smiled then.“You are finally acknowledging that I'm better than you.

    Kristen folded her arms against her chest as she stared at Sophie. She wasn't complaining about having her in her house but Sophie could be exhausting. Especially in moments when she was this stubborn. And she was done, she couldn't deal with this attitude of hers anymore.“Do you need me to call Willow because I will. Oh, I know. Joyce would get here quicker than Willow would.” She tsked, eyeing the woman in pajamas lying on the floor of the living room to Netflix and chill.“You wouldn't dare,” Sophie barely glanced away from the screen of the TV as she grabbed a handful of popcorn from the bowl in front of her and poured them into her mouth. She munched cheerfully like she didn't have a worry in the world.When in fact, she did. She had a lot running through her mind but she would never say it.It was only a day after the opening of her art gallery. A day after she met Tyler at the hospital.

The number of people that had turned up were more than she had expected but she was glad that she had enough resources to handle them. She had just finished selling off a beautiful glass piece to a man when Joyce pulled her aside for a break."Heard anything from them yet?” she whispered as Joyce pulled her away from the scene to a corner.“Not yet,” Joyce whispered back with a hiss. She was equally very worried but that wasn't what she wanted to talk about.“Okay, so what's going on?” Sophie asked when she saw the look on her face.“I just saw Jasper and Olivia.” Joyce confessed trying to look past her friend's shoulders toward t

    When Sophie got the call from Willow asking her to come to the police station the morning after the day she was released from the hospital, her mind had conjured up different thoughts that she didn't think were appropriate. Willow had sounded calm yet very worried. Like she was very close to killing someone off which had made her extremely worried.Kristen had driven her to the police station because she hadn't been strong enough to drive. Although she had been properly taken care of in the hospital, her wound hadn't completely healed off and her body still sometimes ached her. She still couldn't believe that someone had almost succeeded in killing her.The thought still paralyzed her whenever she thought if it. What if the bullet had gone straight to her heart? What would have become of her? So many if's and possibilities always left her paralyzed.“You are going to be fine,” Kristen had told her repeatedly before she walked into the police station. Everyone around her seemed to know

    "Congratulations, Tyler.” Willow shook his hand when they stepped out from the court. His smile was wide, big yet very much incomplete. This had been his dream for the past few years; To put Manuel and Andy away for good.It had been simple yet very difficult.But Willow had made it happen. She had gathered all the obvious evidence she could find and made him set up a meeting with Adelaide on the guise of getting her to confess to what she had done alongside Manuel and Andy. His half-brothers were very smart and intelligent but one thing they all had in common was their pride at their winnings which always led them to gloat and talk about everything they weren't supposed to.All it had taken were a few bottles of drinks to get them put behind bars. Now, he had custody of the little girl he was starting to call his.“No, Willow. You made it happen,” he smiled genuinely at her and she smiled back with ease. Willow was a beast when she was in court and that much was apparent. She had pu

Already, she and Nick were already planning on returning back to LA after being in New York for close to a month now but Harper's call had sped up the whole process.“Slow down, baby.” She heard Nick say behind her.

    Tyler hummed as he flipped the pancake on the pan. It was late into the afternoon yet he hadn't had anything to eat all day having been busy. Taking Adelaide and his half brothers down had been a lot harder than he thought and everything was messin with him more than he thought it would.He barely had any time for himself to breathe and do all the things he needed to do. As if that wasn't enough, Tyler had had to deal with Giovanni when he went to the office the other day for an official meeting.

    When Sophie opened her eyes, everything seemed fuzzy and out of focus. She blinked a few times, trying to clear her vision, but everything remained hazy and indistinct. Slowly, she became aware of a dull ache in her head, and she realized that she must have hit her head during the accident. She tried to sit up, but a wave of dizziness washed over her and she slumped back down onto the bed. Everything was a blur, both literally and figuratively. As she struggled to regain her senses, the memories of the accident began to come back to her in flashes. She remembered the screech of the tires, the sickening crunch of metal, and the blinding pain that had followed. It was all a blur, but slowly the details were starting to come into focus. She tried to sit up again, this time with more success. She took a deep breath and looked around, trying to get her bearings. Where was she?It wasn't until she finally registered the antiseptic smell that came with hospitals and the white walls that
