Stacy bit her lips in guilt as she strode elegantly into Carlton's large living room upon arrival, with her eyes roaming every corner from where she stood, looking for him to pop from some corner into the living room. Since he stopped using his wheelchair, she stopped seeing him come from the stairs which lead to his room. He was always everywhere. "Hi, Mr. Howard," Stacy flashed a sweet smile at Carlton the moment she saw him appear from the wine cellar hallway, while remaining as classy as she should always be. Though he was her client, she allowed her anger to get the best of her and was rude to him. She didn't like the after feeling of it, and she wanted to make sure that there was going to be no tension around them all day. Taken aback by her cheerful demeanor considering how they parted the previous day, Carlton struggled with doubt in his mind of what she could be thinking, as he strutted a little close to where she was, "Hi, Doctor," he responded with the same vitality, a sm
"We are going to do all of this today?" Carlton asked Stacy in surprise, when he picked up the pad and pen that was resting on the front passenger seat when he wanted to enter. She suggested they take her car so as not to get attention from anyone, and waited for him to go and change his clothes after a routine checkup. "No!" Stacy snapped sharply when she saw him holding her journal, and snatched it away from him before he could even take another glance. "I wasn't looking at it," he teased with a broad grin, and she rolled her eyes cutely as she strapped her seat belt around her as she ignited the car, "Where are we going?" He further asked. "We are going to see a movie scheduled for this afternoon," she told him, as she navigated the car and pressed on the brakes to increase the car's speed even before Carlton could say any further. Both of them walked into the luxurious movie theater to comfortably rest in their reserved bed area, while waiting for the movie to start playing.
Stacy was on her way to Brown's office as requested by him, and it wasn't just like any other day that she had to go to the hospital and meet the most obnoxious colleagues ever. It was the day after her sweet unplanned evening kiss with Carlton, and just a few hours ago. As she sauntered elegantly through the hallway that led to the office she was going to, and her eyes sparkled with delight the more her mind traveled back to the tender kiss she had shared with him. The memory played in her mind many times and lingered like a sweet melody in her heart, with a soft giggle escaping her lips. 'You must be crazy already!' Stacy scolded herself with a broad grin, as she finally stopped in front of where she was going, and took a deep breath before entering. Coming out of Brown's office, she was informed by him that a client had specially paid for her services and requested to see her. She agreed to take consultations with the client that day before agreeing to personal treatments, and s
The Wilson family mansion was huge and opulent, so fancy that every single interior and exterior design of the house screamed great luxury. The plush appearance was not excluded of all of their workers, donned in perfect silk uniforms of great quality and working endlessly to meet their job quota for the day. And for the first time in a long while, they saw the young master of the house, Liam, visiting his parents. Ever since he left home to study medicine and fell in love with his education, it had been so hard to see him around except on rare occasions. However, it was not a special day, and yet he had visited and was having lunch with his parents in their deluxe living room where everything looked perfect. Though the table was long and large enough to fit twelve people, only three were seated around the table closely to one another, eating almost in silence. His father, Austin Wilson, the owner of WILLAND hospital, and his mother, Tracy Cheng, the foundation director, were sitti
"Should I apologize for what happened?" Carlton asked Stacy after she arrived, a few hours later than her usual hours because she was called in by the hospital. He had observed that she didn't seem to be in a very good mood when she entered, and had been struggling to keep up with her usual collected demeanor. She was obviously bothered by something. "No. No, don't," Stacy almost stuttered upon her words, deeply bothered by the encounter that she had with Marilyn earlier that morning, that all the excitement and enthusiasm she had towards seeing Carlton had been extinguished. Though enamored by this good-looking man that was standing before her, Stacy could not help but wander and bother endlessly about everything that had been on in her office, and Marilyn's words. 'What did she mean that she had something important to tell him? And that she was going to get him back? What was going on?' Stacy bothered again, still unable to get the scenario out of her head. 'Maybe she should tel
Nadia had been sitting at the dining table for minutes after she had gotten home and changed, staring at the bowl of fruit that she had cut, unable to eat it. She had been feeling so exhausted with her thoughts and feeling emotionally drained, her mind ruminating over and over about how she was garbage, meant to be tossed hopelessly by people. Though something in her other mind had tried to refute the admission of such about herself, her brain had strongly processed the self-sabotage it wanted to believe.She had been trying to feel better and improve her mood. She had no idea what to do to make herself feel better, making continuing her ongoing book even harder. She had no one to talk to, no family to confide in, and could not tell the only friend she had. She was just sad on her own. Worst of all was that she didn't even know how to make herself happy and get over the negativity that she had been feeding herself with. "Sweetheart," Stacy called out as soon as she entered with a
"Would you like to have breakfast with me?" Carlton asked Stacy after she arrived at his place, with a glint of deep fondness dancing in his eyes for her. "Hmnn. What is for breakfast?" Stacy asked, trying hard to control the broad grin that stuck stubbornly to her lips whenever she looked at Carlton. She looked so endearing as she saw him appear before her, and she seriously wanted to bury her face in his face if possible. "I don't know yet. I am planning to make it," he answered, his eyes mirroring determination. "What? Where is the housekeeper?" Stacy asked, as the thin line of her eyebrows jumped in surprise. "The housekeeper is on a break," he answered, almost chuckling at the cute expression that was scribbled on her face. "On a break? How will you navigate around the things she does then?" Stacy asked again in further surprise, wondering why he was grinning so blissfully. "I can do a few by myself anyway. Gone were the times I couldn't move around," he answered, walking to
It was evening at Ryan's house, and Stacy had arrived there, as it had been marked in her schedule for his session. As usual, he had served the fruit he figured was her favorite on a plate, and a nice, tasty high-quality champagne to accompany it. Though she would always refuse his kind gesture, he would not give up until she had yielded. "We have been so distant these days, Doctor Stacy," Ryan mentioned with a modest smile as he took the seat beside Stacy after their first routine checkup. "Sorry about that. I've had quite a lot on my schedule these days," Stacy said with an apologetic look, knowing what he said was true. "That is fine. I have been busy too," he responded with a light chuckle, while tapping rhythmically on his lap like he had more to say than just what he had said. He wanted to tell her everything that was going on with him, and what had kept him busy at the hospital. Every single detail. "How have you been doing?" Stacy inquired, watching his face keenly like s

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. G
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
