“So, care to enlighten me as to why you felt the need to call me here?” Stacy leaned in slightly, her voice edged with a hint of sarcasm, as she sat poised and elegantly in front of Liam, at the plush restaurant he had asked to meet.

“Are you mad too? It has been a while since we have seen one another. Please, don't be like this too. It would make me feel very terrible,” Liam implored to Stacy with pitiful eyes as he shifted uncomfortably in his seat, a weary sigh escaping his lips.

“You know it is not possible that I wouldn't be like this with what you have done to my friend. What happened between you and Nadia?” Stacy questioned, wanting to hear his side of the story since he had requested an audience anyway. She had been trying to ignore him all this while because she didn't want to get too nosy.

“Gosh! I do not even know where to start,” Liam muttered with an exhausted expression on his face.

“And you never told me you had a girlfriend?” Stacy cut in sarcastically, giving him

    Carlton sat nestled in the plush embrace of his favorite armchair, at his study desk at home, reminiscing about the good moments he had with Stacy, with happiness fluttering in his heart. With a wistful smile playing on his lips, he pulled out his phone and began to scroll through the gallery of pictures from their vacation. He allowed the evergreen memories to wash over his mind like a gentle tide, feeling so much happiness from every meaningful moment they spent together. He felt so much happiness thinking about how their lives had played out in the beginning, and how she came back to his life so unexpectedly, even when he thought it was never possible. It made him realize how lucky he was in his life. As he dropped text messages with so much love for her while waiting for her to reply to them, his mind suddenly traveled to the issue he had left on the ground before they went for their unplanned vacation. His mind went back in time to the first time he saw Alison when they were b

    ‘I thought you said that we would be eating alone. I wouldn't have come if I knew it was going to be like this!’ Liam texted his mother sharply, his hands trembling as he burned with repressed fury, upon seeing the most unexpected crowd at their supposed family dinner. After the last fight, Liam had with his father on the phone, his mother, Tracy, had been trying to get both of them back together on good terms. She was deeply frustrated that her husband and son never seemed to see eye to eye, and had barely managed to convince her husband to set up a friendly family dinner outside their home where they could settle all disputes. However, she had no idea that her husband would invite the Garcias to their private dinner too, making things more complicated than they were supposed to be. His intention for the shared dinner was not hard to decipher either. ‘Your father didn't tell me he invited them until now. I had no idea either,’ she replied to Liam's message with a sullen and apolog

    Nadia sat at a regular bar and ordered a glass of margarita, while trying to distract herself from the disturbing thoughts which continued to plague her mind. She decided to leave home and have fun by herself, since Stacy was not coming home that night, and because it was something she rarely did for herself. All her life, she had slaved away to side jobs and endless bills, to provide for herself and her family. Even while she was still in school, she worked herself to deep exhaustion doing part-time jobs during the day, and studying all night to maintain balance in her life. She could never buy good things for herself, enjoy her youth, or treat herself to good things because she was busy saving every penny she earned to be able to sponsor herself and her family. It had been tough all her life, but yet she had put up with it. However, she could not believe that she almost lost her job to a mere lady's fight over a guy. It made her rethink everything she had ever told herself, and

    “That is great, Felicia! I had no idea that you were even ahead in plans already,” Austin seethed with a broad smile, as he poured himself a glass of champagne, and his friend, Antonio, one too. “I mean, that wedding hall is so hard to book for many months because of endless reservations, and I found the right time to do it. It is better now than later,” Felicia explained with a bright grin curving her lips, as her eyes sparkled with gladness. “Isn't that true, Tracy?” Felicia impulsively invited her into the discussion, seeing that she had been quiet all evening. “Yeah. That is great!” Tracy forced a bright smile and gave a reluctant answer, knowing well that her son was not interested in the union at all. “Then that is final. We can start making the preparations,” Austin declared with exhilaration, as he and Antonio toasted to greatness. “Wait… wait… wait here. Everyone, wait,” Liam chimed in, after waiting for them to ramble on, his voice laced with incredulity, “Wedding halls?

    “Evelyn is so obnoxious! Gosh!” Stacy muttered furiously under her breath as soon as she remembered her last encounter with her again at the hospital cafeteria. She was sitting in front of her dresser to adjust her makeup, while Nadia was helping her to straighten the curls in her hair with hair stretcher. “Did she already cross the line when it is barely a week of you working back at the hospital?” Nadia questioned in surprise, as a thought occurred to her, “Oh, she might. She must have heard you are friends with Liam, and cannot keep her obsessive behaviour in check,” she muttered disdainfully. “Yes!” Stacy muttered angrily, the more she thought of Evelyn's threat to her again and again. ‘Who does Evelyn think she was?!’“What happened between you two?” Nadia asked flippantly, deeply engrossed in what she was doing. “Did I tell you that I met her already in the past? Four years ago,” Stacy mentioned, as she carefully put on the bracelet that Nadia had given her that morning to ma

    Stacy was utterly shocked beyond her mind when she saw the news when one of her colleagues showed it to her, and her face turned pale as she read the words that were used to defame her over and over again. Though the news was taken down less than thirty minutes after it was posted, the hospital technical team promised to find out who had posted it. Everyone laughed over it and told Stacy to not be mindful of haters, however, she still could not help but hear the side talk of others talking about how likely the news was definitely genuine.Liam came to see her after he heard about what happened, and they talked about it over lunch together while laughing. He promised to help her get to the root of the matter too. They talked about Nadia too, and talked about physiotherapy though. Stacy appreciated the kind gesture from him because he helped her to feel a little better, but her mind still couldn't get over the worries of who it could be. ‘Who would have done that?’ she wondered endless

    “You are finally getting discharged tomorrow morning,” Liam announced mildly with a demure demeanor, as he flipped through the charts of the patient, whose bed he was standing before, “Do not break bones and return here the third time, okay,” he continued, as he looked at her facial expression which looked like she was always ready to fight. “I cannot guarantee that,” Keisha answered frivolously, as she turned to continue making final touches to the image that she had been sketching all day. “Wow! That is some level of outspokenness,” Liam almost stuttered as he spoke to the young lady, as he wondered what was going on in her mind that made her say that. “At least I am better than you,” Keisha remarked, without raising her face to look at him while deeply engrossed in what she was doing. “What?” Liam's feet held back on the spot when he heard what she said in disbelief, the thin line of his left brow arching a little higher than the right as he turned to look at her in surprise.

    Unable to hide his recent struggles from Stacy anymore, which he had hidden under a mask of a smile, she demanded to know what was going on with him and why he wasn't telling her anything at all. “Why would you not yell anything, Carlton?! Why do you always hide everything to yourself and suffer alone,” Stacy demanded from him as soon as they entered his house after waiting patiently without saying anything in the car, her eyes blazing with anger and hurt as she struggled to contain the storm of emotions raging within her.“It is not like that, Stace, calm down. A lot has happened since I returned, and it is quite a hassle for me to start telling you everything. I can fix everything with time,” Carlton tried to explain to her in the best way that he could, when he realized that she was angry than he had ever seen her before. “So it does not matter enough for me to know whatever struggles you are going through, regardless of what it is, because you can sort it out yourself?

    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
