Love means a lot of things to different people, but what love means from a mother to her child is mostly deeper than it meets the eyes. Becca had so much love, and she remained committed to Aella, and when Aella heard of one out of many of Becca's commitments to her, she realized that soon enough she was going to be a mother and how much sacrifice is needed.“Why?” Aella asked, the tears forming in her yes.Sh had thought for most of her young life that the love Maggie showed her was the max she was ever going to receive, but she was wrong, and Becca was standing right in front of her, showing her that there were endless possibilities."Aella, my commitment to you cannot be researched. When grandma told me about how much you loved sewing, I knew I made the right choice by naming the company after you. That's why I have never shown my face, so that when you come around, you are the only face they will know, and they will see the future of Ella in you!” Becca's tears formed in her eyes
Charm is deceptive and beauty is fleeting; isn't that what it is??But only the blind can see charm as alluring and beauty as flattering.And yes, Damien is the blind one, as he lay there staring into her face like she was the most beautiful he had ever seen in his life.He kept wondering: What happened to his affection for Aella? Where did it suddenly go??It turns out he never really loved Aella; he just loved the attention she gave him; he didn't know her nor wanted to know her.A smile crept on his face, mischievously knowing he could cancel the contract at anytime without even batting an eye.In his head as he stared at this “fake version” of Amelia, he thought she's beautiful, perfect, and just glowed like the most beautiful sea.In his mind, he wanted to be the sun that makes her water glitter and shimmer.He pushes stray hair out of her face as she breathes silently AND softly.He even compared Aella to her, even in breathing pattern.Like Aella wasn't human???He moved closer
Surprise surprise!Blythe stared deep into her eyes like he was just seeing her for the duets time in forever. “How does she get more beautiful every time?” he wondered to himself.“Hi Aella, it's so nice to see you and Mrs. Becca!” He greeted, placing the snacks on the table before home.Oh yes, Blythe is Penelope's son; she's slid the mother to the trio, Blythe, Zayn, and Winnie.Aella was just too shocked to speak or say anything.Blythe's parents were that rich, she wondered.She thought he worked for her mom alone.“Aella is here for the antenatal!” Becca said pulling Aella out of her though.Blythe's eye shot up immediately when he heard that she was there for an antenatal; his heart went from 100 to a minus 0 immediately.“You're pregnant?” He asked, his heart sinking.“Yes?” Becca..now Becca was starting to catch a few glimpses of tension between her daughter and Blythe.The way he looked at her, Aella didn't necessarily look at him in any way, but Becca could feel the recoi
They say you never know the value of what you have until you lose; it sounds cliché but very true.Damien walked out of the hotel room with his mind filled with only one thing.Amelia.The way she talked and the way she walked. If he could, he would go back to her a billion times.Maybe marrying her would be the best idea after all; canceling the marriage wouldn't be any big of a deal.He thought about how he was headed home going to meet his now annoying wife; it was past evening time already, and it sucked to meet Aella at home.He knew he had the option of letting Aella go, but he also didn't want to; he kept feeling a restraint, and the restraint was his mom.Damien wondered what his mom was going to say if he eventually decided to leave Aella.For the main time, he decided he was going to be secretly seeing Amelia.Damien reached home, and it was the last night he was going to be spending at his mom's place before he headed back to his house.He had already had enough of his mom'
Beautiful are her eyes when he looks into them, but does he deny it? Yes, he does.The water trickled down her back as she took her bath in the bath of a man she never actually liked until now.Even now she was in denial, denial in the sense that she never actually liked him from the start, so why would she develop a liking towards him now??She took in a deep breath, playing back the scene she was present in with Seth as they stared into each other's eyes and said nothing, allowing silence to fill in.She slowly brought her eyes open and just stared into the wall.“I'm not in love with him!” She whispered to herself, convincing herself that she wanted only one person, which was Damien.As she said that, her mind played back to when she was attacked at the party the previous day, and he came running, and he somewhat knew where she was.Rich place, right time!!“Wait…. She squeezed her eyebrows in realization.Turning off the shower, she tied a towel around her and stormed out of the s
Even her smile brightens more when she sees him, and he wants to keep that smile flowing bright.“Does that mean you would love to change my perfume scent?” Seth began to engage her without actually thinking of their fights; his anger had subsided, and so had her's.“Yes definitely, I just need to take a few so I could make one each for us!” She smiled and began plucking the flower into one of the jar containers she had brought from home. They walked deep and deep into the mountains till they came into the woods; the flowers were like a large island; they were spread all over.“No, don't touch that!” Marie warned immediately; she sighted him touching a very beautiful flower, but as beautiful as it looked, it was very poisonous even by touch.“Why?” He asked, retreating his hand slowly in slight fear.He was about to pluck one for her.“It's poisonous; it's called blue ivy!” She clarified pulling him further away from the plant.When their fingers touched, they felt the fire, the warm
Freedom is indeed priceless, and so is joy.It was the following morning, and Aella woke up to a knock on her door in her mom's place.She woke up in panic, panic that she was late for work, but then she remembered that she was at Becca's place. She smiled in satisfaction and cuddled up more in bed, sighing in relief.She searched her phone to check what the time was, and it was just past 6:00 am.A knock came on her door in time before she slept off again.She stood up and leisurely walked to the door.“Hey mom!” She greeted Becca's as Becca made her way into Aella's room. “Morning beautiful, I can see you are still asleep!” She pointed out.Becca walked in with a tray in her head, and Aella could already perceive the aroma coming from the tray.“You made tea?” Aella asked, hurrying to the bedside where the tray was now being placed by Becca.“And sandwich!” Becca added with a smile on her face.Aella gave Becca a quick hug and moved to eating.“I will leave you for now. I have to a
Just like the snow in winter his heart grew colder day by day!!Damien woke up rather angry than happy, he had literally had nothing to think about except for how his mother was treating him, constantly choosing Aella over him. “Why does she never support me?” He muttered to himself ever since last night she had been so filled with anger and regret.“Hey love!” Amelia's voiced over the phone as he picked her call she was the only thing that could make his day, he thought to himself.“You just make me smile a lot, Amelia?” He expressed adding finishing touches to his dress.“I mean what more can I do?”Damien smirked.“There are a lot of things you could do, maybe you can come back to Chicago and stay for a while, while I keep you company ?” He teased.After a while, he was done with the call and headed out of the room.As he headed for the living room, he met with his mom, who was gracefully sipping a cup of coffee.He decided he wasn't going to talk to her or say anything.He walked
Aella was swept off her feet more than she could have imagined, but not by someone she had thought. She decided she was not going to think about Damien or anything that has to do with him, or literally anything that is tied to his being.She didn't want to think about it. as much as she knew this was the happiest she had ever been since they got married.The least she could do for herself now was to stop ruminating about the past, not when she was starting to come back to being herself. This was the gift to herself, and this was more like the best gift ever. She will stop thinking about him and focus more on understanding herself; she was planning to get a divorce sooner than later. She wanted to be totally free so she could start living again.She's sat in the car; it's a new hair and a her new self. As they rode across the city, she looked back at Blythe, who seemed to be very happy and seemed to be thinking of something that made him smile every second. She looked away from his fac
Just the right amount of sauce to make him look like God's sent. She stared at Blythe, who just unconsciously did the cutest things. There were times he talked to himself, there were times he just glared out the window, or there were times where he just picked up the salon magazine and read it, and his expressions whenever he came across something controversial made him the perfect partner to give your work the gist.Blythe had taken the initiative to get Aella a snack after every hour at the salon he got her milkshakes and takeouts.“Here's some for you!” Blythe voiced handing over the takeout box to her.By this time she had just started to make her hair; she had first gotten into washing it and then styling it.“Thank you!” She smiled, and he walked back to his seat.“That's an intentional mannn!" The hairstylist teased her as Blythe fully walked away.Aella didn't know what to think, nor did she know what to say to the hairstylist.“He's just my friend!” Aella responded with a smi
He paced back and forth as he struggled to keep to himself for the past three weeks—nothing from her—nothing to keep his feelings in check, not even her green light.It was every risky to go visit her in her workplace, as he appeared to be a potential threat to Damien, especially when Damien was the reason for this whole mess in the first place.He picked up his phone for the billionth time trying to place a call to her and explained things well enough to her. But he couldn't; he couldn't bring himself to explain the truth of the whole matter to her; that would not only end him; it would also end their whole family name and career. The way they had left things off, they knew Marie would probably see him as a bad person or worse, a monster that didn't deserve to live.Seth had always wished he wasn't born into the family he was born into, and quite true, he didn't like it there, but ever since he met Marie, he had wished more for that prayer to come to pass than ever before.He felt c
"Well, I must say you look absolutely beautiful." Blythe complimented Aella as he opened the car door for her.Aella had never had alone time with Blythe before; spending the whole day with him felt so illegal, but she knew she had to leave her room at least once so she wouldn't rot away in misery.She had thought about it all so much that she didn't want to think about it anymore; she just wanted to start living life again.The life she had thought she could live with Damien, but it turns out that she couldn't.It's funny how the same life she craved for was the same life God had helped her package with her mom; she could live freely and not depend on anyone.For the first time, she smiled, and that smile was genuine.“And I must say you don't look bad yourself!”. Aella responded with a soft voice.Seeing her smile is his delight, and he wanted more of it to happen. He kicked the car to a start, and they started their little journey.Aella wasn't used to engaging in conversations wit
Yes, maybe there were people out there who hurt you real bad, but you need to understand that they shouldn't make you stop loving; you just choose to love yourself enough to love them and not overlove them, so you know when to leave or when to live by grace, just like you would give yourself a voice when necessary.Aella had left Vollini and Becca in the living room to discuss while she just went to her roomma. DN just wallowed.She cuddled up in her bed and just stared out the window. She watched as the snow fell lightly; she could think of nothing else than just...Her baby…Damien was no longer on her mind; she couldn't really care less; he had done what he had to do, and he had done his worst already.If he cheated, it really wasn't any of her business; the only thing she blamed herself for was staying that long trying to take her power back.She sighed again, giving the fact that she had so many things planned out for herself and her baby.She looked down at her phone and realize
Chapter 139“Just when you thought you had it all, there another shows up to be the worst."Collins paced back and forth in the living room of Becca's house as he wanted to tell Becca about how unruly Damien had been to his sister. Aella wasn't in the midst of all these; they had allowed her to be alone for a while in her room, which they made sure to check on her on a few occasions.“Does he ever think at all, like why is he being the animal that he delivered me from, why is he being like that forsaken dude called Seth?" Collins raged again.Truthfully, he hadn't known his sister's case until they got home from the hospital, and immediately he heard it took the strength in Becca to keep him grounded and not go to confront Damien.Collins had just arrived at the right time.Becca was instantly notified of how inseparable Collins and Aella are; she saw how much love they both have for each other, and she is more than willing to love them both.But she wondered who this sort of guy Coll
Just at the beginning of dusk, there was a man who you would consider lonely due to his demeanour and the way he looked so unlikely, he looked destabilised he look tormented like he had from NS fetching out his should price by piece. He suddenly realised how much he had taken from her ,how much thing he had stolen and as much he was willing to give it back, he knew he wasn't in the right position to go ve it because initially je had stolen it from her.Damien stood on the highway his car parked by the side of the road as he stared AFR off into the distance his eyes fixated on something -the city lights but his eyes wasn't on them his eyes were remembering and capturing something's that would shine as bright as the city lights.Her eyes Over time he realised that he had witnessed how the glow in her eyes disappeared each was eryryutme he became an asshole, every time he decuded ti step down from being a man to bueng a toddler.He heaved a deep sigh as the whole guilt pulled a weight i
Not all that glittered seems to be gold... But for Damien, his vomit seems to glitter like gold and looks like the most beautiful diamonds from the outside.As he dropped Aella in the hospital, he turned back and went back to work. He didn't bother to ask what happened to her or what might happen to her; he asked then if she was going to be fine, and they said definitely the rest if it was none of his business, but unfortunately enough, they told him as much as he didn't want to hear about everything the doctor called him as he got to the office.The doctor's call came through as he was about to enter his office. On getting into the office, he noticed that Amelia was no longer in the office, including her bag and all. He answered the call and settled down.Luckily, the doctor happened to be his friend!!!“Hey Corniel!” He voiced over the phone, rearranging his fiel and just getting ready to head home.“You seemed to be in a hurry; was there something that came up?” Corniel asked as t
Sometimes things aren't always as they seem, sometimes it's the opposite and sometimes it's true but sometimes it's just complicated.But for Aella it was exactly what it seems like, Damien was slowly bringing in his ex into their marriage to replace her and guess what??She wanted it that way…At least with that she was out of the marriage and out of his life.“What was what?” She asked, popping a lollipop in her mouth.“Hmm, nice strawberry flavour!” She thought to herself after the full taste of the lollipop filled her mouth.She honestly didn't care about the useless and unrecognised tantrum Damien was throwing in fact nothing was going to make her care in this world, and If there's a next, she wouldn't even beat an eyes“That nonsense you did back there you thought was funny, what if everyone believed you?” “Why wouldn't they believe me, none of it was a lie” Aella shruggedAella scater so many months still wondered why Damien's lying capability still shook her,,.“Why does he l
