It's Monday and it means back to work. I'm nearly late because of Zara. She kept me awake all night talking about stuff.
I grabbed my things and zoomed out of my apartment and went to the office. As I entered the office, Carla immediately called for me and asked me to go to the conference room. I grabbed my portfolio and went to the room. Marc and Stella were already sitting there.
"What's going on?" I asked.
"A client wanted to have a partnership with us. The client called last night, said he wanted to discuss some things." Marc said.
I sat down beside Stella and soon Bianca and Jaime came. Minutes passed and I wondered who's the client.

My parents will like you. Don't worry, they're very funny. Plus Uncle Loyd is there to entertain us. We can escape them and stay outside.""You sound like you're my boyfriend.

"Did you honestly believe he was in love with you?" Isabella shared her thoughts. I couldn't say anything because I couldn't speak. "We had reached an agreement. He needed to end his relationship with you and become mine after you confessed your feelings for him in order to save his company from bankruptcy." She expressed herself.I looked at Troy in disbelief. Tears were forming and my heart's starting to ache. "Aww...little girl starts to cry. You really didn't know, did you? Looks like Troy used his sweet words to charm you.""Is this true, Troy? That this is just a game?" He didn't speak. My blood started to boil."Is this true?!? Is this some kind of joke to you? I thought you loved me!" He still didn't speak.

Marc's POVI woke up with Kate cuddling me. I watched her sleep. Her face looks calm and cute. A strand of hair covered her face so I tucked it behind her ear. She shifted so I tried not to move much.After a while, her eyes fluttered open. "Morning sunshine." I said, smiling at her. "Morning.." She said weakly. Her eyes are a bit puffy from last night. She suddenly pulled away from me and said, "Oh my god...I..uh..I'm gonna take a shower.." She ran quickly in the bathroom. I think she felt embarrassed to be cuddling with me. I just chuckled and turned on the tv.Kate's POVOhmygosh!! How long has he been looking at me? I was even cuddling him. Then, I remembered my nightmare last night. I can't believe I told him that Troy's my ex. I have to tell him not to cancel the partnership. It's

Just stay with me." Marc said while caressing my cheeks.It was only when my eyes fluttered open that I realized I was in my room. Something felt heavy around my waist, and I looked down. It was an arm, I discovered when I peeked. Soft snoring could be heard in the distance. When I turned to look at my side, I saw Marc sleeping peacefully. When I remembered my dream, I broke out in a flush.I couldn't stop staring at him for the entire five minutes. I'm curious as to how creepy that is. I've never held my gaze on a man for this long before. Every time I see him, my heart races faster, and every time he expresses concern for me, my heart warms even more. This is the first time I've e

"Mommy! Look! Daddy got me a toy car!" Xavier ran to me, holding his toy. Marc came back from his business trip to Canada. "Wanna open it with mommy?" He shook his head and ran to his playroom. I smiled and turned to Marc. "You're spoiling him, you know." Marc shrugged and gave me a kiss on the cheek. "I've got you something." He took out a small box. He opened it and there's a necklace with a maple leaf pendant. "You shouldn't have. I have a lot of necklaces, Marc." "Shh. Come on, let me put it on." I turned around for him to clasp it around my neck. I felt him encircle his arms around my waist.

Everything's going so well.""I know. Don't worry. We caught the man. Detective Hale will be asking you some questions tomorrow. We'll find out who the real culprit is." He said, reassuring me. I smiled and hugged him. We got out of the car and went inside. I went to the guest room and gasped. The room's empty. I went inside, opened my closet, and gasped.

Kate's POVI haven't had a chance to speak with Marc yet. It's been two days since I discovered that I'm expecting a child. I'm still feeling a little overwhelmed. I kept myself occupied last night by reading all of the brochures that Stella had given me. I came to the realization that I couldn't be stressed. I made the decision to speak with Marc about the events that had occurred. I suppose it's difficult to have uncompleted business. I'm currently sitting at my desk, contemplating what I'll say to him when the time comes. I couldn't tell him I was expecting a child, especially with Margo in the room with me."Kate." Speaking of…"Yes?""Can we talk?" I looked up and saw Marc."That is not the case here. I'm thinking about it after work. I have to be ba

For God's sake, it's been a month already!Kate's POVIt's hard to believe that it's already been a month. Last night, I told Stella everything that had happened. I told her about my feelings for Marc and how I came to be in love with him. I also informed her that I was at a loss for what to do. I've been feeling a little under the weather the past two days.
