"So, what do you say M? Will you make me the happiest man alive?" Daniel asks.
I don't know exactly what came over me at that point but I put on a fake smile and say, "Yes, I will"
Daniel's smile gets even bigger and he gets up and places the ring on my finger. He cups my face in his hands and kisses me on the lips briefly, "I love you so much!"
"I love you too" I say.
"Now come on let's eat these desserts before the chocolate starts melting." Daniel says pulling me over to the table.
The Next Morning
I woke up at around 6 am today, I couldn't sleep. Daniel was fast asleep beside me. For an entire hour I just kept staring at the giant rock on my right hand. Do I really want this? Why do I feel so unsure? Isn't this suppose to be like one of the happiest moments of my life? Being engaged? Why do I feel like I made the wrong decision saying yes? I need someone to tell me that I'm not making a horrible mis

KarterMy alarm clock started buzzing and I immediately woke up. Monday mornings are horrific. I turn off my alarm clock and get out of the warmth of my bed. I decide to take a nice hot shower to wash the sleep away. I'm extra exhausted today but I'm not like in a bad mood. I'm tired but happy. I don't know if that makes sense or not.After showering I walk into my wardrobe and pick out a navy blue suit. I don't think I've ever worn this before so I decide to today. I'll be honest, half of the clothes in my wardrobe are untouched. I just have so many clothes. Perks of being a billionaire I guess.By the time I was fully ready it was 7:30. I walk downstairs and I'm greeted by a smiling Brenda and Millie. Milli

MarieAll day at work today, I was lost in my own thoughts. It's been a week since I said yes to Daniel and today is the day I take that back. I can't do this and the longer I hold onto Daniel, the more I hurt him. I need to let him go. I can't really do this anymore.It's a Friday so I know Daniel is off today, I need to go see him. I still have to two more hours till work ends but I can't sit here like this. I need to see Daniel right now.I quickly get up from my seat and walk to Karter's office. I knock on his door and before hearing a come in, I walk inside.Karter looks up at me and furrows his eyes in confusion, "Marie?""I'm sorry for barging into your office but there's been a slight emergency. I was wondering if I could be excused from work early?" I ask."Is everything alright?" Karter asks concerned."Yes. No. Maybe. Can I please me dismissed?" I basically beg."Yes sure. Go ahead." Karter smiles.

MarieMy entire weekend has been shit, I'm just being honest. I was in front of my television for 48 hours straight, eating junk that will probably kill me. As you can tell, I'm copping up with a break up, perfectly.I usually always spend my weekends with Daniel, we're practically inseparable on the weekends. This was my first weekend in years that I was alone. I know what you're thinking, why am I even sad? I broke up with him because I wasn't in love with him. Do I regret it all? Of course not. I know that I made the right choice letting him but it's hard letting him go fully.Daniel has been in my life for so long, we've shared so many amazing moments together. He was my first love, my first ever serious

2 months laterMarieGetting up today I decide to take a shower. Today's a Friday so no work for two whole days! Thank you God! After getting ready I head to my car. I'm not hungry at all today so no breakfast, I'll probably stop at Starbucks and maybe get something to eat.I reach my office to see Karter already in his. He's here early? I knock on his door and walk inside after hearing a "come in"."Good Morning" I say, Harry looks up and smiles at me."Hello Marie" he says."Coffee." I say placing it on his desk."Thank you""You're here early today?" I ask."Just some important work that had to be done" he says and I simply nod.Over the past three months, Karter and I have gotten pretty close. I mean he's nice and polite and we get along perfectly."Marie, could you take a seat? I want to talk to you about something important" he says.I furrow my brows in confusion and

KarterAs I was heading out of my office, I saw Marie waiting for the elevator. I walked over and stood next to her."Hey" I smile.Marie turns her head to look at me and flashes me a smile, "Hi" she says.The elevator opens and the two of us walk inside."So do you have an plans this weekend?" I ask."Oh not really. Just going to spend time relaxing really" Marie smiles."So that means your free tomorrow?" I ask.Marie looks at me and raises an eyebrow, "Are you asking me out on a date?"I nervously chuckle, "Sort of"Marie furrows her brows at me, "Well it's Alex and Jennifer's wedding tomorrow. I had agreed to bring a plus one and I don't really have anyone in mind. Would you like to go? As friends of course. You know all the guys, it'll be fun." I say.Marie smiles at me, "I'd love to go""Well then I'll pick you up at 4 tomorrow?" I say as we step out of the elevator."Su

MarieTomorrow is Friday and I have a day off! Yay! Well technically the only reason Karter gave me a day off was because we have to work on Saturday. But only half day so I guess it does count right?I was binge watching tv shows on Netflix when my phone rang. It was 7:00 pm, who could it be? The caller ID was unknown. I wonder who is calling me.I press answer and speak, "Hello?""Is this Marie?" That voice seems awfully familiar."Liam?" I ask."The one and only!" He chuckles on the other end causing me

Marie"A daughter?" Nina asks with a shocked look present on her face."Yes. A daughter!" I say."What-how? I've done research on the guy and as far as I know he's still a bachelor with no children, legitimate or illegitimate.""I know. He never mentioned anything about a child. I was shocked too""How can you be so sure the little girl wasn't confusing Karter as someone else?""Nina, you should have seen her she's a female version of him. Literally. Same everything. And also at Alex and Jennifer's wedding

KarterAlmost immediately after snapping at Marie, I regretted it. But me being the dick I am, I didn't bother apologizing.The entire long car ride to the restaurant was silent. It was very obvious that Marie was mad at me, I don't blame her. It's just that I get very touchy when people ask me questions about my family life. She told me about her family and everything, why couldn't I have simply told her that I had a daughter? I didn't have to give her all the details just tell her about Millie.I'll be honest, I was going to tell her one day. I was, I really was and it sucks that she found out this way. I really should apologize to her.I

12 years laterMarieI felt a pair of arms tighten around my waist and a few kisses were being planted on my neck. I smile as my eyes slowly start to open.I turn the other way to be faced with a smiling Karter ,"Morning beautiful.""Good Morning handsome." I smile at him. I was still semi asleep."How'd you sleep?" Karter asks."The usual. Good." I smile."I'm going to go get started with breakfast okay?""Okay." I smile yet again."It's still early, rest for a while before the little rascals' wake up." Karter says as he places a kiss on top of my forehead."I will. Thanks babe." I smile."Anything for you." Karter flashes me one of his billion dollar smiles and walks to the bathroom.I really am the luckiest girl in the world. I turn the other side to see a few pictures on our bedside table. One was of Karter, Millie and I on our wedding day. Millie was just a little girl

I mumble before latching my lips onto Marie's.The rest of the audience start to clap and cheer for us. Marie and I smile into the kiss as we deepen the kiss. We pull away and look into each other’s eyes."I love you." I say."And I love you." Marie smiles.We walk down the aisle hand in hand with everyone cheering and clapping beside us.

Marie1 year laterOne thing I hate the most in this world is dieting. I just hate dieting. I hate it. Maybe I'm being a bit too cynical because I haven't eaten proper food in over a week now. I'm on a juice cleanse. I'm surviving on smoothies and boy do I hate them. Just one more day until I can eat solid food again. Thinking about it is making me so happy. Tomorrow is going to be magical not because I'm getting married but because I can finally eat junk again. Can tomorrow come by any faster."Marie? You can come out anytime today!" My mom yells from outside the bathroom. I was trying on my wedding dress right now. I forgot. I was lost in my thoughts."Just one second mom!" I say and quickly start to fit into my wedding dress.I zip myself in and walk out of the bathroom carefully. Can't ruin this dress, it's very important for tomorrow.Everyone outside gasps as soon as I step out of the bathroom. I give all of t

Karter"Come on. Get up sleepy head. Your friend's Cindy is coming over today remember? We can't have her here with you sleeping, can we?" I ask Millie.Millie jolts up in her bed, "Is Cindy here?" She asked sleepily."No she isn't but she'll be here in a while sweetheart. Why don't we go downstairs and eat breakfast or do you want to take a shower first?" I ask Millie."Breakfast." Millie mumbles rubbing her eyes."Okay then let's go downstairs. Come on." I get up and open my arms and pick up Millie who's still pretty sound asleep.

MarieI anxiously pace across my apartment waiting for Karter. Ugh. Why am I so nervous and freaked out? I need to calm down a little.There was a knock on my door and I immediately look up. Should I pretend like I'm not home so he can leave? No stop being ridiculous Marie.I kid you not, my hands were literally shaking as I held onto the doorknob. What is wrong with me? I need to calm down and take a breath before talking to Karter. He'll probably think I'm on drugs or something like that.I take a deep breath and unlock the door. Karter was standing there with a polite smile on his face."Hey." Karter greets me."Hi. Thanks for c

MarieHave you ever just stayed up all night because you were too lost in your thoughts? Well I have. All night I kept thinking about my life. I know this must sound so cliché and maybe I sound like such a romantic right now but all night one person was continuously on my mind and that person was Karter.Tonight, was nice. It was better than I expected honestly. But there has been one thing that has been on my mind the entire night. Even beforeLouis and Ellie came. Am I still in love with Karter? The real question should be did I ever even stop loving him? I forgave him, I know that I did.But do I still love him?…The next morning, I was awoken by phone buzzing by my side. God. I want to sleep. Scratch that. I need to sleep. Ugh. I press answer and press my phone to my ear."Hello?""M. Don't tell me you're still in bed right now." Nina warns."It's a Sunday and it's" I remove my phone f

KarterI quickly make a stop at the flower shop before heading over to Marie's place. She wanted to have the double date at her place and wanted to cook herself.I was really hoping this could just be a one to one date but Marie set her own conditions. I could always give Liam a call and tell him to make anexcuse and cancel but I can't do that. Marie is starting to trust me again, even something so little might make her change her mind for good. Can't letthat happen now can I? I need to respect her decision and understand that I can't always get what I want.I stand outsi

MarieGod, I hate Tuesdays. For me they're worse than Mondays. They just remind you that you still have an entire long ass week before your weekend starts off. Ugh. I hate leaving my warm and cozy bed. It's too hard for me.After my morning routine, I head outside. It's an awfully cold day today. Gosh I really wish I could go inside and crawl into my comfortable warmbed but duty calls.Since I switched branches as in since I left the headquarters to work at Carl's branch, I have to wake up way earlier in the morning as my current office is more then 45 minutes away from my apartment so that fucking sucks.

KarterThe purpose of the last three months of my life can be summed up in a single word-realization. I realized several things in the past three months one of the them being that I'm a complete idiot. An asshole, a dick, an inconsiderate pig. Those are just few of many adjectives I would use to describe myself.At the beginning of this year, I had everything. I really did. Let me elaborate. My job was going great, I had met an amazing girl who accepted me for me and who made me open up to everything, my daughter had a motherly figure in her life who she looked up to, all my friends loved my girlfriend. Well everything was amazing because of one special person. I'm pretty sure you all know who that is.I'm still earning in millions, I still have my friends and my loving daughter by my side but my heart isn't truly happy with the stupid decisions I've made in the previous months. As any normal person would do after a break up, I started to isolat
