According to Austin, this place was as good as any to start a new branch of a company, plus it was not a bad place to live at all, and he had been right. Sean was enjoying living here a lot, and his company was doing just fine. He talked once in a while with his mother-in-law, and always assured her
"You’re kidding, right?” He asked them incredulously. So that was what their visit was all about … finding him a wife. “We sure are. You can’t remain like this forever, Sean dear. You know that you're like the son we’ve never had, and it has been so since ages ago. We’re your godparents for crying
“But …” Mrs. Jefferson began again. “That’s enough of that topic. I’d like to take you two to an early dinner now if you don’t mind. You’ve been at my house for over two hours now, and have only had drinks. I would cook for you, but I don’t have all the ingredients for cooking here. I was going to
"Ooooh! My, my, my. Aren’t you a sight for sore eyes? What right have you in this entire world to look this hot?” Sally asked, whistling appreciatively as Nora entered the restaurant, all dressed up and looking extremely beautiful and elegant in a sexy black dress that showed off her curves to perfe
"Ah, I was right, From what I can see of him, he does seem to be a looker. Mama's proud of you, girlie." Sally said, craning her neck to get a better look at Brian as he walked towards the restaurant until he disappeared out of her line of vision. "I’ll go and meet him now. You just stay here and b
Christina was the very definition of the word "hot mess." For several days now, she had been having sleepless nights and had been so jittery and on edge, which was not a surprise, considering all that had been going on with her. Even a strong woman like her would collapse under the weight of all tha
Dylan Lewis looked out the window of his room in his father's house as he almost always did. Doing that was one of the things that he loved most because his room overlooked a beautiful garden that even now, was in bloom with numerous beautiful flowers and looked so colorful and lively ... Which was
Dylan had always been a very light sleeper and just the sound of someone opening his bedroom door or calling his name a little loudly was usually enough to wake him up from sleep. For this reason, at first, Austin thought that the child was deeply asleep, so he advanced further into the room and tap
“You’re here again.” She states, rolling her eyes without so much as a good morning when she opens the door and sees me standing there. “Good morning to you too. Yes, I’m indeed here again. How are you doing?” I ask her, resolving not to let her hostility get to me. She has every reason to be hosti
I have not been to Nora's apartment for several months since Sally disappeared. In the first month of Sally's disappearance, I used to come here a lot, so much so that I’m sure that I must have begun to look like a desperate creep to Nora. Each time I came here back then, I would plead and plead wi
“No! I want to go with you and Aunt Sally!” He protests angrily when he sees the nanny and realizes that I’m about to leave him with her. “Honey, you must be very tired from running up and down with me these past few days. That is why I want your nanny to take you home so you can rest. Besides, you
SEAN Somehow, Sally allows herself to be convinced to come back home with me, which as even her doctor agrees, is the best decision for her right now because she needs all the help that she can get. We’ve finally been able to reach Nora and Austin, who have arrived at their honeymoon destination a
SALLY I can tell that Sean is surprised at my blunt tone and sharp words, but I couldn’t care less. I vaguely remember how I had pleaded with my boss to get in touch with him after she told me that she could not reach Nora and Austin no matter how many times she tried to reach them. I had been ter
The small bundle feels incredibly light as the nurse places it in my arms. Every single iota of sleep flees from my eyes as I hold and look down at my daughter. The nurse helps me adjust the baby in my arms while smiling at me in approval. Immense love for this tiny human floods my entire being and
I smile unsurely at the doctor, certain that I must have misheard what she just said. She doesn't smile back but instead continues to stare back at me with a measured look that says that she's not messing around. “I'm sorry but I'm not sure what you're talking about. What do you mean by expectant f
SEAN I have to admit that I am not thinking straight, but I'll blame that on the lack of sleep and the thought of seeing sadly again after all these months. Sally is lying on a bed in a very tiny room and she's being placed on oxygen. She looks so small and defenseless in the hospital bed. I appr
“There has been an emergency involving Sally and she's requesting for you.” A female voice had said over the phone mere seconds ago. “Is she OK? What's wrong with her? Where is she?” I ask in quick succession without waiting for an answer to each question. Taking deep breaths, I remind myself to be
