Nadia changed out of her shrubs into her normal clothes after her shift ended towards evening, and had taken a few extra minutes to touch up her makeup and straighten her hair. She planned to eat out since Stacy wasn't going to be coming home soon, because of the date she was going on, after meeting a guy on a dating app as suggested by her. She stepped out of the locker room looking spiffy and bathed in the scent of a nice luxury perfume Stacy got her, as she stopped by at her office to be sure that she wasn't forgetting anything. And as she was about to enter the elevator that would take her to the first floor, she remembered that she had not seen Liam for hours after they finished the first session too. Apart from that, she noticed that he had been sedentary all day, he didn't seem to exude his usual energetic demeanor. Worried that something might be wrong with him, she decided to check his office to see if he was still around.Nadia knocked for a few seconds after she got to Li
As the first light of dawn filtered through the slightly raised curtains, Nadia stirred from her slumber with a sense of disorientation and unease. Her eyes suddenly flickered awake like an impulse had brought her back to life, and the fragmented events of the previous night came flooding to her head instantly. "Shit!" She exclaimed with a shock and a sudden jolt of realization, as she sat up in the bed that she found herself, with her heart pounding in her chest as she surveyed her surroundings with wide eyes."Shit. Shit!" She muttered uncontrollably as her lips trembled, the moment she raised the white covers that were sprawled over her body only to discover that she was naked. It confirmed that what had happened was truly what she saw in her head. 'She and Liam had sex! They truly had sex. It wasn't a dream!'Turning to the right instantly, her gaze fell upon the figure lying beside her, sleeping in a peaceful repose and oblivious to what was going on around him. A wave of shock
Stacy was in a good mood as she drove to Carlton's house, because her investment had quadrupled its price on the stock market that morning. To make the news more exhilarating, she also figured out that the prices of her estate properties have doubled. She couldn't stop grinning till she went into his house.The memories of what happened in the dining room came back to her mind as soon as she set her eyes on the dining room, and she got lost in her thoughts for a few minutes while imagining what would have happened if Carlton had crossed the boundary. "Morning, Doctor," Carlton's husky voice distracted Stacy from the direction she was looking in, as she turned her face to his direction so sharply. He was walking down the grand stairs in his mansion with calculated steps, and a warm smile split his lips as he maintained eye contact with her. Seeing him walking down the stairs to her and not in his chair, made Stacy's heart flutter with so much happiness that it resonated deep down her
"You do not seem to be in a good mood, Doctor Stacy," Ryan noticed as Zoe made her way into his house, even if she tried hard to keep a straight and cool face when she entered."Just feeling under the weather," she answered through her teeth, as she made her way to his living room to comfortably take a seat. "I am a psychiatrist, you know. And you certainly do not look like you are just under the weather," Ryan speculated with a demure grin crossing his lips, while looking at her to see if she would give up on trying to conceal her anger. "Argh! Fine!" Stacy groaned and rolled her eyes, "I had an argument with someone," she conceded, and took her seat. "And it looks like you just had a lover's quarrel," Ryan added again, as he carefully made his way to his cabinet to bring out all sorts of cookies that Stacy might like. "What? No!" Stacy's eyebrows scrunched up, as she retorted instantly, her mind flashing back to the person she was still so pissed at. 'She didn't even know why s
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

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
