Stacy sat gracefully at a table for two in the private diner that she had reserved for her and Carlton, her delicate fingers tracing invisible patterns on the linen tablecloth, with many thoughts running through her mind.

Her gaze often drifted towards the entrance in anticipation for him to arrive, practicing in her head how she would break the news of her pregnancy to him, and the expression he would have on his face. The laughter and joy they would share, and how he would shower her with kisses and love.

However, her mind suddenly wavered to the meeting she had with Carlton's grandfather earlier that day during her lunch break at a private, which took her countless self-assurance to acknowledge, while thinking nonstop about why he suddenly contacted her.

She remembered the stifling atmosphere the meeting started with, and each progression worse than the last minute. His words echoed in her mind from their conversation, and reality had flashed before her that she couldn't just h

    “What was that about?!” Carlton stormed into the building where Marilyn texted to him, and he found her sitting comfortably on one of the seats there, and a soft gasp escaped her lips as soon as she raised her eyes to see the figure that made his way in. “You came?” Her eyes glimmered as her lips split into a bewildered smile, because she was not expecting to see Carlton that fast. She dropped the glass of whiskey that she was drinking on the stool beside her and stood up on her feet, as she began to make her way closer to where he was standing. “I just asked you a question!” He firmly stated, his eyes narrowing to slit as his face bunched into a disgusted sneer the more he looked at her face. “At least take a seat. Then we can talk then,” Marilyn moved closer as she tried to touch him, but he retreated instantly with a sneer on his face, feeling so repulsed that she wanted to touch him. ‘How dare she?’ “Can you just be serious?!” his jaws clenched as he struggled to contain h

    Liam was sitting impatiently in the waiting room that was attached to the dressing room on a velvet chair, his eyes fixed eagerly on the tablet that was before him as he scrolled across the screen lazily. He couldn't be bothered less about what was going on at the moment, his eyes momentarily darting to the Patek Phillipe that was clasped around his wrist. Slowly, the doors to the dressing room parted open, and a gorgeous lady emerged from the room, dressed in a voluminous white dress of exotic lace with beading appliques made from tiny diamonds, which enveloped her slender frame with elegance and beauty. She had chosen the most expensive and luxurious one of all. “Sir, your bride is here. Isn't she gorgeous?” The voice of one of the assistants who had dressed Evelyn interrupted the stillness in the air, and his eyes raised to see her twirl and preen before him. His expression remained stoic and unmoved, his eyes, cold and distant, which betrayed the inner turmoil that churned withi

    “Are you okay, Stace?” Hudson asked his sister in concern, taking his time to observe her as she sat in his dining room. He suddenly received a call from her that she was in the city, and requested that he come to pick her up from the airport. All evening since she arrived with a portable traveling box, she had not said anything, and just asked to be served all kinds of food that was available. “Of course I am,” Stacy incessantly wolfed down more food like she had not eaten all day, without even looking at the face of her brother, who seemed so bothered about her sudden visitation. “Take it easy, take it easy. You can eat as much as you want,” he urged her as he took the seat before her, still looking at her as she ate from side dish to side dish, sensing that something seemed to be wrong. He had never seen her looking that way ever since they met again. “Is everything fine?” Hudson asked again, his eyes etched with deep sorry, with a gut feeling that she was not telling him som

    Carlton slumped in his office chair, his posture betraying the weariness that had settled deep into his bones, as his mind felt clouded with his thoughts swimming in a hazy fog, and tiredness obscuring his focus. His brow furrowed in deep concentration as his mind moved through the world of dazed senses, as his fingers drummed a restless beat against the surface of his desk, with nervousness endlessly brewing within him. He had not slept for two nights. How couldn't he? When the most unexpected news of him having a child somewhere barged into his life like a wrecking ball and threatened to take every good thing he had away from him?!’ The entire morning, he was unable to focus on anything, and his board of directors was at the receiving end of his shimmering anger. ‘How could he be sane when his boat which had been sailing smoothly was suddenly faced with an iceberg?!’ ‘He was sure that he could never have made the mistake of sleeping with Marilyn that night! Never would he have!

    As the night descended and covered the brightness everywhere, Nadia strode slowly through a shortcut alleyway from the bus stop where she had dropped, her face etched with tiredness and somberness as she wearily inhaled and exhaled the cold breeze from the atmosphere. Nothing seemed to exhilarate her like before, and it felt like her days were smeared with hues of gray, with nothing colorful to offer her solace. Her job had become more like an endless responsibility that she was saddled with, and the people who made her happy suddenly became so far away, casting her into an abyss of amplifying loneliness. “Life is hard!” Those somber words slipped out of her lips, as she moved languidly like she had no strength in her. Suddenly, it felt like someone was walking behind her as she ambled, and her neck instinctively turned sharply to see no one walking behind her. The sound of a notification from her phone brought her feet to a halt and her mind to rest, as she pulled it out of her coa

    Hudson had been feeling worse ever since Stacy left his home, and he couldn't understand why, because he was sure she had planned to stay with him longer than she had. It made him extremely bothered about her sudden disappearance, and her words to him before her phone finally became unreachable, were disturbing too. He was not oblivious to the fact that there was a palpable switch in the atmosphere as soon as he introduced Stacy to Alison. The fact that she left them almost immediately after the introduction, and didn't come out of her room confirmed that something was wrong, even if he wanted to act like he didn't notice what happened. After she suddenly left that morning, Alison also left, under the excuse that an important meeting had come up at her workplace, and that she had to leave as soon as possible. The sudden weird actions of the two important women in his life had left him estranged and flummoxed. ‘Did they know one another from somewhere?’ he pondered endlessly. ‘Were

    The past few days had been so busy for Carlton after he traveled for business with James, and it had been from meetings to conferences and to inaugurations that he was invited to. As a result of his schedule that had been packed so full, his frustration had multiplied with everything too, because Stacy had been unreachable. Neither she nor Nadia were home, the morning they stopped by their apartment before travelling. His mind was consumed by thoughts of Stacy and his heart was ladened with so much confusion that it clouded his thoughts. He had contacted WILLAND hospital about her whereabouts, and he was informed that she was on her yearly leave at the present moment and had not been coming to work. The response from them amplified his fear even more, and had him spiraling in a haze of oblivion. Questions constantly swirled in his mind like a storm, and he was not able to concentrate on things he did properly. ‘Had he done something wrong? Was she still mad that he missed th

    Hudson had been waiting all evening at the huge café that was opposite Carlton's company, with so much determination to meet him once and for all this time. He was willing to meet him and talk about Stacy, because he felt whatever was wrong with her must have been attributed to their relationship. And even if it wasn't, he thought Carlton might have an idea about what was going or where she would be. As he waited too, his heart raced with anticipation and a sense of nostalgia that tugged at his heart, since it had been years since he had last seen his long-term friend. He wondered what they would talk about first, and what their first reaction would be if they met. The skies darkened by the minute that passed, but he didn't mind, as he stood relentlessly, hoping that he would come out of sight. Since he had no appointment with him and didn't have his phone number, getting to talk to him in an instant was going to be the hardest thing to do. However, his patience began to wear thin w

    It was a beautiful morning at a big, luxurious wedding hall, where every detail had been meticulously crafted to exude a sense of elegance and sophistication, and Carlton and Stacy stood at the altar holding their hands and gazing into each other’s eyes with a synchronizing smile curving their lips, as they prepared to take their wedding vows. Stacy donned a voluminous luxurious lacy white gown of exquisite and intricate adorning diamond that shimmered with fierce intensity of beauty, as she looked so radiant like a celestial being before the altar. Her veil softly framed her beautiful face like a halo, as she held a bouquet, her eyes illuminating so much affection for the man that was standing beside her. Carlton was daunting and dashingly ethereal in his custom-made black suit, his tousled, dark hair framing his breathtaking beauty and piercing beautiful eyes, which were a mesmerizing shade of deep blue that gazed into Stacy's eyes, with sheer happiness radiating within him.

    It was still the early hours of the morning, and the atmosphere was still quite dampened with barely any sign of sunlight, when Carlton entered the room to find Stacy still sleeping. He shook her shoulder tenderly and teased around her face, as she stirred for a few seconds without waking up. Then again, Carlton whispered something into her right ear as she remained in her deep slumber, which aroused a ticklish feeling in her as her hand tried to rub her ear. “Wake up,” Carlton whispered with a smile, and she finally turned in response to his barely audible voice, her eyes flickering awake, even if she was still slightly groggy. “What is going on, Carl?” she mumbled tiredly as a yawn escaped her lips, but a smile curved his lips instead as his hands grabbed her body and pulled her up from the bed, “What time is it?”“Shhhh. You will wake the kids up,” he cautioned, seeing that she was chuckling quite loudly, as she planted a kiss on her cheek and neck, “Put on something and follo

    Months flew by faster than expected, and Stacy had been living her best life with Carlton after Nadia moved to Phoenix with Liam. They kept in close contact through video calls and phone calls, telling one another about the new things they were now invested in and how the new city moved in. Nadia launched her new book after she moved to Phoenix, and better than she thought it would be, it was doing excellently well through the influence of her lovely lover, and social media, which gained her thousands of followers in less than six months. And with the brilliant response and love she received for her medical romance book, she started a sequel. She and Liam moved to the penthouse of a hundred-floor skyscraper in one of the wealthy neighborhoods in the city, which had the best view that she could ever wish for as a home. More than anything, Nadia's life had changed beautifully, more than she could have ever imagined, because of the people she got to meet in her life. Within those few

    “Arhhhhhhhhh. I am feeling the heat,” muttered Jasmine, who kept chuckling endlessly as she watched the two endearing couples. “This is making me hate that I am single,” Fiona rolled her eyes playfully and took a glance at Connor, whose attention had been on her for a few seconds, which caused both of them to look away instantly. “Please, do not gloat about your sweet love in our presence,” Jasper whined with a chortle, as everyone giggled wildly as they nudged one another. Natasha raised her glass in a toast amid the sweet public display of affection, “To friendship, and new beginnings!” She declared, her high-pitched voice reverberating everywhere in the garden. Everyone around them lifted their glasses, joining in the toast with cheers and clinking glasses, as they continued to engage in light conversations, while getting prepared for a new dimension of the party. As the evening progressed, the party moved to the center of the garden, where a large open space had been cleared

    It was the night of Stacy's baby shower and the party that Nadia had planned went better than anyone could have imagined, especially because of the additional guests that were invited, who were mostly Stacy's and Liam's colleagues from medical school. She invited Ryan too, but he was far out of the country and would not be able to make it. The garden in the mansion was transformed beautifully into a perfect banquet, and the soft hum of beautiful music played in the background, blending seamlessly with the laughter and chatter of the people present, as they ate and drank with their faces lit with joy and merriment. Liam and Stacy stood by one of the tables as they welcomed their few friends from the party that was invited from their medical school, while Nadia invited about four people from her new department at the WILLAND hospital without minding the ordeal everyone's tongues had put her through in the hospital. “I still can't believe you are having a baby!” One of their friends

    It had been almost two weeks since Stacy came back into Carlton's life, and their most torrid glow of love had been rekindled countless times so that they couldn't even keep a record anymore. They could not stop snuggling into each other at every moment like young puppies. He was spending his vacation time with her as he had planned to do before, as they caught up with everything they had missed, while he had to spend time with her, and accompanied her to the hospital for her medical checkup. Stacy asked him to keep the house and not move out as he planned, since the entire estate belonged to him, because every memory that they had cherished together was made in the house. It was a beautiful moment when she talked about starting a family together with him in that same house. It was no old news anymore that he was seen spotted with a pregnant woman in a facecap at different places, as media houses blew up with headlines, wondering who the strange lady he was seen with was. It broug

    “I am sorry it took this long to come back,” Stacy whispered softly, her heart aching terribly the more she saw the sullen expression etched upon his face as he gazed incredulously at her. He was finding it so hard to believe that it was truly her. Tears streamed down Carlton's face as he slowly buried his head in her shoulder, when he could finally comprehend in his head that it was truly her, “I thought I lost you forever, Stace,” he choked out, his voice laced with so much angst, breaking, “Where have you been? I… I searched for you everywhere.” She sobbed softly, clutching at him with her arms wrapped around his back as if her life depended on it, “I… am so sorry,” she whispered, “I ... .just lost my mind, you know. The truth was too much for me to bear.” “I am so sorry, Stace,” Carlton's voice was heavy as he apologized, “I am so sorry for making you go through a lot by yourself. Please forgive me,” he implored her deeply. “I am more sorry, Carlton. I shouldn't have been sel

    TWO MONTHS LATER It had been the longest days of Carlton's life, and he could not even remember how long it had been because he was back to the same pathetic state Stacy met him months ago, when he had just silently lived the saddest and most pathetic life without her. He had begun working from a tiny space in a suffocating and tight space where he separated himself from the world and the world of his own mind, which haunted him with sadness and a pressing weight of depression with which he had no idea when it would end. Though the company was back on track because he had distracted himself by working restlessly to surpass his goals for the remaining half of the year in just a few weeks, he had been like a ghost, haunting the light of the deep darkness that had taken over his happiness. After Alison's cremation, he had sent a lot of emails to Hudson to talk to him, and had even journeyed to his company on several occasions to see him, but every one of his efforts to get through
