I groaned so loud. Why? I was annoyed. I need a suitable dress for this dinner but I haven't found the right outfit. Susan wanted to help but I declined. I don't want her to be worried for me.The truth is, I really need her help and I think I'm going to get her. I need help more than ever now.I trotted out of the room with a towel still wrapped around my body. I finally found her holding my child. They were watching a cartoon."Susan!.." I called and she turned to me. Her eyes widened when she saw me still in a towel. I smiled sheepishly " I know, I haven't gotten the right outfit"She shook her head at me " want some help? "I nodded " I need it more than ever " She got up with Amelia still in her hand. My princess didn't like the idea that she was going to get up. I chuckled at that. She was enjoying her cartoon but I stopped that. Susan laughed as my little princess whined." She loves her cartoon" "Yes she does"We all went inside my room.***Susan lay Amelia down on the bed.
I sat down comfortably trying to adjust myself. Dad was sending hard glares my way while my stepmom is trying her hard best to calm him down. I still don't get why dad is really angry at me. He should be happy that I decided to leave his house for him.He can't even control himself in front of a stranger. I fought the urge to roll my eyes. " I don't know if we still need to introduce Allyson but anyways," Diane said clasping her hand together. I raised my head and my eyes met that of Ace. Allyson was saying something to him but his eyes were on me.Dad's phone rang in his pocket. He got up excusing himself. I guess it must be business. My stepmom on the other hand was staring at her daughter and the supposed fiance adorably. It was so nice to see her smiling genuinely.Her eyes turn to me and I freeze. I know that looks so well. It's her reminding me that her daughter was getting married and I had to get myself pregnant. It's a judgmental look and I hate that so much." How are you
I tried to stop him but all effort was useless. I don't want us to end up in an accident so I left him with the steering wheel. I was pissed. He was taking me to someplace I don't even know. " Please stop the car. I need to be home with my child " I pleased.Ace didn't say anything, he kept moving with the. I don't like this at all. I don't know where he is taking me to." Where are you taking me to?" I asked He rolled his eyes but they were still on the road " I'm not kidnapping you if that's what you must be thinking""Then tell me what's going on" I pressedHe stopped the car all of a sudden " you are too noisy for your good "I was baffled. My mouth was wide open " you call me noisy? You expect me to be quiet while you forcefully pushed me into your car and then you refused to tell me where you are taking me to"" Ok fine. I'm taking you home "I scoffed " this is not the way to my house "He rubbed his face out of frustration " you are a lot to handle "" You should have just l
ACE I poured some water on my face. I get bad doing that to her. I couldn't get myself to sleep because I was thinking about her. I can't seem to get my mind off her. There is something about her that keeps attracting me.The night we spent together was the best thing that has ever happened to me. Yes, it might be a one-night stand but for some reason, I had wanted to see her again. I know I shouldn't be attracted to the enemy. Uncle will feel so bad when he comes to know about this.I can't let my feeling distract me. I need to be focused and pay more attention. I groaned so loud again remembering that she now has a child.Why would she decide to get herself pregnant? She acted so easily. Fuck, I need to see her again. I need to see her even though it's a glimpse. She does things to my soul. IYou are getting married to her sister, my subconscious reminder and I groaned.I reminded myself that I have work to do. I have lots of work at the office. This reminds me that I need a secret
ALLYSONI heard it right. I heard someone cussing from the office. I furrowed my brows, was it at me? I tried knocking the second time. The manager asked me to submit this file at the office so I'm not to be blamed if anything happened.I raised my hand to knock again. The door flew open at one speed. I was frightened. My hands were on my chest trying to get a hold of myself. I raised my head to see who it was and the words got stocked in my throat. I can't believe this right now."You?" I said in shockHe has a frown on his face. He seems to be a little upset. Was it at me?"What are you doing here?" He asked a little rude if you ask me.I tried to say something but it was hard to even pronounce the words. " I.. I... I was told to bring this here ". I said showing him the file in my hands He seems to be confused " who sent you to bring this here ?"" The m..." Miss Allyson!" I was cut off by the manager himself. He ran to catch up with me. He seems to be a little confused seeing
" Bella talk to me "I need to know. Couldn't it be someone I know?" Guess who?"I smirked " please tell me it's Ethan! "She blushed even harder. That answered my question. I've waited so long to hear this coming from her. I knew those two have a great spark together. I've always preferred Ethan for her." Yes " she answered I hugged her so tight. I was so happy for her " wow, this is so sweet to know. How is he? It's been ages since I last saw him "She smile " he's been asking after you too."I wiggled my brows at her. She just made my day. I know how much she loves this guy and the whole frame between them. " I'm happy for you," I said sincerely x guess what! "It was my turn to spill the bean.She furrowed her brows confused " tell me ""Remember I've always wanted to get a job " I started while she nodded " I went for an interview together. "She was shocked " that soon? "" I know right? I was selected "She smiled so wide at me " I knew you had it in you. You've always had
ACEWe had lunch and I must say, I enjoyed it. Diane was a little quiet throughout the whole lunch. She seems to be worried about something I have no idea about. I was glad I had lunch in peace. On a normal day, she would pester me with lots of questions that I don't want to give answers to.She is also too clingy for her good. I drank some water " are you alright ?" I felt the need to ask. I needed to know what she is keeping.She raised her head with a smile. It seems she was waiting for me to say something and I just fulfilled that wish of hers. " I have a question "I was interested in this question of hers " what is it about ?"She fiddled with her nails " I know you don't like me mentioning this but I still think I have the right to ask"Okay?" Okay? "" Erm,... Since we began to date months ago, you promised to take me to meet your family. You never said anything about them and since we'll be getting married, don't you think this is the right time to meet them? "I fist my palm
I coughed out some popcorn. I was taken by surprise by her question. I wasn't expecting that at all. She got up to get some water for me which I'm very grateful for." Sorry..here is some water " she hands over the water to me " Thanks, a lot "I drank from the water she gave me. I don't know how to answer her questions. I know she's my friend but then again, I didn't tell her because of my sanity." You don't need to answer if you don't want to," she said feeling bad that she caused this little discomfort."No. It's nothing. You also have the right to know "I told her " Does that mean you have found him ?" She asked confused and I nodded my head " Yes, I found him, " I told her dropping the popcorn on the small stool beside me.She also followed my action and dropped hers beside her. Bella was left speechless " are you kidding me ?"I shook my head " I'm not. I found him"" Wow...how ?....when...?who is he ?" She asked repeatedly.I chuckled at how shocked she was " calm down tige
I held my phone while I stared at Ace's number. The number was staring at me waiting for me to call him but I couldn't. I didn't know how to tell him to come over to see me .on another thought, I don't think it's a best idea to invite him over. I wouldn't want what happened the last time to happen again. I can't bear that. I can't repeat the same mistakes all the time, never.Mrs. Clara took Amelia home with her. She promises to take good care of her since I have a meeting with Ace. That woman has been so supportive of me. She makes things easier for me and I like that she is trying to fill that space she missed since I was young. Dad is aware that she is in town and he hasn't said anything about it. He hasn't come to check on me. I shook my head, why would I think he'd care to come to talk to her. I don't know why he has to be my father. There are lots of good men out there and nothing like Dad. I don't know why I was blessed with a father like him.If only Mom had nothing to do wit
I went ahead to pick up my daughter from her daycare. Her face looks so soaked with tears. The nanny told me that she had been tearing up since I dropped her. I wonder what the problem could be. I kissed her cheeks and said, "What happened to you?" She stared at me with her wet cheeks. Her face was all red from the tears "Sweetheart, what happened? Mom is here for you "I tried playing with her but all efforts were in vain. I tried all I could to cheer her up but she ended up staring at me like I was acting stupid so I gave up. I need help. The only person I could think about right now was Mrs. Clara. My mother. I need to give her a call. I need help to understand what my daughter is going through. I called her number and she picked up on the first call. " Please I need your help," I said through the phone " ok. I'll be right there with you " she said and ended the call.I sent her my address. I was heading to the park. I hope Amelia will be happy when she sees other kids just like
What Bella told me kept ringing in my head. She insisted that I tell him about Amelia. I don't know how to do it or what way to approach him. It's been two years now since the event that led to Amelia and this is taking a toll on me. If it's left to me, I don't want him to know. His knowing only means that I was welcoming trouble into my life. I dropped Amelia off at the daycare and made my way to my office. Seth hadn't called to talk to me yet. He didn't even call to ask why I didn't come to work and I felt too angry to send a message. I walk into the office like I did nothing wrong. The office was all staring. I wonder why they were whispering something at each other. I rolled my eyes and don't want to hear any of the gossip. It's nothing good. I was so sure about that.I went to my office and saw piles of work waiting for me. That was one thing with this place. When you are not around your work will keep piling up until you get back to do it. No one was going to help. It's the rul
AllysonI woke up from sleep only to realize that a man's arm was wrapped around my waist. I was startled at first not until I remembered what happened yesterday. I was so stupid. I pushed his arms off me. What have I done?I got out of bed all confused. Ace groaned but got up. He sat on the bed and said "Why did you hit me in the face ?"I was naked! I can't believe I allow this to go far .!I wasn't drunk when this happened. I was so stupid. I was confused and filled with lots of feelings. I went with my heart even before my head could process what was happening. "What happened?" I asked still shaken up. I was so confused and didn't know what I want or what to do" What happened last night ?" I felt like a lunatic asking those questions. I knew the answer to it but I still asked.He gave me a look " Is this some form of a joke or what? What are you trying to say? "" I don't know how ...what the hell!" I wrapped the blanket around me. I was so scared of what we did. I'm an adult but
AceI was so annoyed right now. Why would Aunt forgive him too soon after what he did? I punch the wall before me and scream out of annoyance. He has done more harm than good. He lives with his family happily and doesn't care about others. He hurt my aunt and he hurt the woman I love. He hurt Allyson. That is the worse thing ever. I want him down. I want to ruin him. I want to cripple him to nothing. I dashed out of my room. I need some air. Aunt must be in her room crying as she always does. She still thinks about him and the worse thing he did to her but she doesn't want to punish him. He's so not the best man in the universe. I'm glad she didn't end up with a man like that. He is a loser and that is what he will always be. I got into my car and drove off. I need to see Allyson. I need to talk to her. I can't stand it anymore. I can't stand not seeing her. I am about to get married to her sister and here I was going to see her. This is not right. I need to choose right. I need to
I sat down feeling confused. I don't even know what to think. Mom came out from the kitchen holding a cup of coffee. I took it gratefully. I took a sip and felt pleasured when the hot water hit my tongue. I don't know what would have happened if only he stayed behind. Amelia held on tight to Mom's clothes, she doesn't want to leave her. She likes her I guess." how do you feel now ?" Mom asked I nodded " I feel much better "" I knew coffee would do lots of wonders," she said with a smile and I knew it was her way of lightening the atmosphere. I like that she is trying all possible best to make me feel welcome." you are not gonna ask me anything ?" I asked cocking a brow She smiled " I don't want to rush things "" Thanks " I was glad We sat in silence for about a few minutes. Amelia started to cry. She was tired of sitting, she wants to play around." she wants to play. She gets tired when she is sitting all the time " I told her and she was surprised " She walks ?" " yes she
Work was so hectic. I never expected it to be this hard. Of course, I don't work with Seth. I work with his management. I didn't want to be in the same department as him so people won't start to say things they are not meant to say. I want to focus on what actually brought me here and nothing else.I was learning too much in just one day and I don't want to complain. I don't want to look like an ingrate. I should be thankful I have a job with good pay. I was in my office when I saw a reminder text from my mother, Mrs. Clara. She was reminding me about lunch today.Is it me or does it look strange that Diane hasn't called me since the incident? I thought she would at least call to hear my part but she didn't. Of course, I don't expect her to be happy that I insulted her mother but I would have at least wished she called to know what was going on. Is she mad at me or has her mother poisoned her mind as always?What a shame if she goes back to her old self. It will be such a loss for her
Mrs. Clara stayed for lunch. I didn't have it in mind to send her away after the long conversation we had. I served her some Chinese rice and shredded beef. I guess we share the same favorites. I love anything Chinese and the same her.She told me a lot about herself. It was entertaining hearing her speak. She told me she has a boyfriend and I told her I can't wait to meet him. She was excited. Loving the fact that I was giving her a second chance to patch things up." I have a godson and you two will get along. I'm sure of that " she said then took a spoon of her riceI smiled a little " I can't wait to meet him " She cheered "Can I come and pick you up tomorrow? I want you to meet my friends and my godson. They are the only ones I called my family " I was reluctant. I'm not good at meeting new people but she kept insisting " of fine "She squealed. She was so excited. Her smile was contagious, I surprised myself by smiling too. She is just too good with people and I love her energ
I was dancing to the tune of the music. It was an old one-direction song. I love their song so much. It gives me the energy I need to keep moving. I was so happy today and I don't know why though. I thought it was the fact that I now have a job. I haven't started yet but tomorrow will be my first time at work. Seth told me to use today to prepare myself and I was so grateful for that. I was swirling around like a ballerina. I was funny as hell. I look so stupid dancing this way. But who cares? I don't care. I just want to be happy and that is exactly what I'm going to keep doing. I heard a knock but thought it was from the other apartment. This time around the person knocked harder. I wasn't expecting anyone. Susan and I already have a conversation this morning that she should take a break from this job and she understood and took my advice. It's good for her and her daughter.I went to get the door. I saw a strange lady by the door. She has a smile on her face. I have seen this fac
