My heart is filled with excitement as today is the day I said 'yes' to my boyfriend one year ago.
I wanted to surprise him so I sent him a message,letting him know that I will be dropping by his house.
I bought him, his favorite cap,a limited edition 'Michael Jordan New Era 59Fifty Jumbo Jumpman Fitted Cap" I save half of my allowance for a year,
just to buy this for him.
I can almost imagine his face filled with happiness when he sees this. I excitedly walk to his house which is just two blocks away from mine.
I wear navy blue fitted jeans and a pink long sleeve cotton shirt.
It's his favorite from all the clothes I've worn before.
I remember he will always pinch my cheeks whenever he sees me wearing this ,coating "you look so beautiful in pink babe" I start to giggle by myself feeling my heart flip a little remembering what he said.
I know his parents weren't there at the weekend as they always visit his sister who just gave birth with a twin.
It's perfect timing for me and him to be alone.
He is my first boyfriend,we're both finishing our last year in college.
I don't know what he sees in me,
I find myself just an ordinary girl,candid,sometimes they state me as a nerd..
Which didn't bother me.
That's also why it's a big shock for everyone in the campus when he starts courting me.
But I'm proud that the 'playboy' of our school chose me as his steady girlfriend.
I know all the girls in the school envy me, who not?! I got a good looking boyfriend that works hard a lot to receive my 'yes'. Though we've dated over a year and sometimes he asks when I will give him myself, I stick to my words that I'm only giving myself to him when we get married in the future.
Not that I don't trust him but I kinda believe in the old fashion way.
Though I let him kiss me and hug me, I never gave-in, even once to what he wanted.
I thought we can't last long because everyone predicted that we won't even last a few months.
But heck....! Here we are today.
Celebrating our first Anniversary as a couple that beat the odds right..?!
The smile didn't go away from my lips until I reached his house,I rang the bell a few times but he didn't open it.. Then I realized the gate wasn't locked so I invited myself in. Maybe he's still sleeping and didn't hear me.
I went inside his house since even the main door wasn't locked too.
Strange, his parents never did this before.
It's so careless living the house unlocked. What if someone came in and robbed their belongings...? I brushed away that thought and went inside,going upstairs I saw some strip clothes from a woman. I felt my heart skip a beat thinking of him with someone else.
No...!
He can't!
He loves me!
I know that!
I said to myself!
But all my conclusions were right. As I step in front of his room which he forgot to lock.
I peek my head inside and was shocked, my eyes widened seeing him on top of Nicole, the cheerleader in our school..!
I felt my heartbreak,shattering into pieces.
Ohh god! He's cheating on me! I wanted to confront him and cursed him but. I'm just standing there like a statue, I can't move.What makes me more stunned is hearing them talking.
"Come on Harris, when are you breaking up with that 'nerd'? She's nothing compared to me..."Nicole said, pulling his chest..
"Soon baby,I still need to win the bet jezzz...500$ bet if I win and get her virginity that's a lot Nicole, we can have a nice date with that money.." Harris said , that tore my heart apart and tears started streaming down my cheeks..
"Hurry.. And get her so I won't be sharing you with her anymore. It's been a year already!
I hate it every time I see both of you in the school, being cheesy and cute together.
Ohh that stupid nerd! I hate seeing her eyes full of love for you..." She said, rolling her eyes in disgust..!
I grasp my mouth not wanting to let out any sound even though I feel like the world is spinning around me. I can't believe he's faking it all this time!
I push my brain to function as I can't bear listening anymore from what they're saying.
I took a few deep breaths and slowly my body moved..
Trembling as I slowly went down the stairs half of my mind is regretting coming here while half of it was thankful that this happened.
At least I found it out,though it was a bit late.
How can he do this to me?!
I trust him a lot, I thought I knew the real him.
All that sweetness, love and care that he shows to me it's all a lie.
All those heart fluttering kisses and warm hugs were just a show.
How didn't I see it?!
I'm so silly!
So stupid to believe people can change.
I had so many thoughts running in my head that I didn't notice I was already standing in front of my paren's house. I wipe away the tears in my eyes and walk inside.
I saw my mom sitting on the couch watching some telenovela in the 45 inch smart t.v. They bought it using my money.
The money I won in the math competition a few months ago.
I head upstairs not wanting her to see my face.
After entering my room I played the music loud so no one could hear me crying.
I hide my face in my pillow and cry until there's no more tears coming out of my eyes.
Then I heard my phone vibrate on the side table near my bed.
I looked at it and saw Harris' message..
"Hey babe, where are you? You said you will drop by the house?
Come now..You know I don't like waiting."That piece of jerk!
After making out with Nicole,now he wants me too!
How can I be so stupid not to see everything clearly?
I felt guilty, all that my best friend said to me is true.
But I didn't listen to her,I was blinded by my love.
Now I have the feeling to call her and cry everything out to her.
I know she won't be angry to me ,
but I will be glad that I found out everything.
But just like my best friend feels that I'm in trouble, I saw my phone vibrate again and the screen is showing me the caller is Zoe..
I quickly pick it up and turn off the music.
"Hey Alec,what's zup...?"
"Hi Zoe,I'm fine" I said to her, faking an enthusiastic voice...
I heard her grunt on the other line.
"Alec, you don't know I can sense when you're faking your voice. Spill it out girl. What's zup...?"she said sternly.
Yup..!
That's my childhood best friend.
She knows me better than myself.
Tears fall down again in my cheeks,
I tried to hide my sob but failed.
"What the f**k?! Wait for me Alec, I'll be there in ten minutes..!" She cursed in the other line before cutting it off.
After ten minutes I heard her knock one time in the door before entering my room.
She saw me sitting at the edge of the bed and by the way she stared at me I knew I'm a wreck.
She cursed vile words before sitting next to me hugging me tightly.
I cried on her shoulder for god knows how long.
When I felt the burden ease a little we pulled out of the hug.
"I knew it..! That son of a bitch can't be tamed!
An asshole will always be an asshole,they never change..!"
She said while drying some unshed tears on my cheeks.
"Stop crying for a bastard like him,let's forget this even happen and
let's have fun tonight..!" She said nibbling the piercing in her chin.
Yes, my best friend was the opposite of me.
She has short hair painted in black and pink which enhance her creamy skin.
She's a beauty but prepares to be a rocker and an outcast to match me as I am the ' nerd at school'.
She's the wild one that I wish I could be and I'm the good daughter that her parents wish to have. We love each other like sisters by blood.
"I don't know Zoe, I never went outside in the night you know that.
I'd rather stay in my room. Thanks Zoe," I said to her tiredly. It's exhausting to cry and cry.
She spank me hard which makes me yell in pain.
"Ouch...!Zoe..?!What was that for?!"
She just smiled devilishly before kneeling down in front of me.
Which is weird, Zoe is acting strange especially when she held both of my hands before seriously staring at me.
"Alec,it's time that you free yourself from being the good girl everyone expects you to be. I'm your best friend right? So trust me. Be your true self even just for tonight. I think it won't harm you plus it will be fun and it will help you forget him even just for a while.
So?What do you think ?" After analyzing what Zoe said.
She's right,
For once I wanted to be out of my comfort zone and just be carefree like Zoe.
"Ok, Just for tonight I wanted to be just like you Zoe." I said to her which made her punch in the air from happiness.
"Come let's ask Auntie Margaret for permission that you will sleep in my house..."
"Ok..Lets go" I said to her as we both headed down stairs.
After a few minutes we headed upstairs to pick up some of my personal stuff and left.

Comment your ideas and opinion.let's chat, I don't bite, ;) *******After entering Zoe's room we both let ourselves fall on her bed. Sighing I turn around to face Zoe, I'm thrilled about what we're going to do tonight.She turned around smiling at me "So are you ready?"She asked excitedly.I know it's been her long-time wish to see me like her even for just a day. Just being myself, not thinking about what other people might have to say, and not trying to be the 'good girl' my parents always expected me to be. Finally, I can live for myself even if it's just for tonight.I nod at her and smiled."Yes..! I'm ready and excited to see a 'different' me." I honestly admit with beaming and sparkling eyes, thrilled about how I will look tonight. Whatever it is, I don't care. I just want to be me.The real Alexandria Morgan.Zoe ordered me to take a shower first so she can style my hair afte
I wake up from the warm feeling I felt that touches half of my body and slowly slides up on top of my chest. I gradually opened my eyes and saw 'Mr.Mysterious guy' sitting next to me in the bed.He looked at me intently, his clothes were still the same as the last time I remember.I went up in a sitting position flustered in a foreign bed that was so soft and comforting.I bet it's expensive.I felt the blanket covering me slip on my lap.A sense of warm feeling enveloped my heart after knowing he didn't touch me even if he knew he could."Are you feeling a bit better now?"he asked with those deep seethed eyes staring at my face.Again those baritone voices sent shivers to my spine. Goodness! Never in my entire life have I encountered this kind of feeling. I gazed into those deep brown eyes and instantly I felt butterflies swirling around my stomach. He has these strong enigmatic stares that can hypnotize people.I cleared my throat trying to refocus my mind in my current situation.
I woke up with a heavy headache.I feel like somebody is digging a nail in my head.It hurts like shit! Then what happened last night flashes back in my mind. I turned my head to my side and saw the man that I slept with, still sleeping peacefully while his hand was wrapped around my waist.A smile formed on my lips.Last night was the best night ever... It's a wonderful memory that I will keep in my heart.I don't even feel a hint of regret for what I did.I know it's strange that I give myself away to a stranger, but surprisingly everything that happens feels right.But now it's time for me to wake up and face reality.What happens is just a one-night stand for him.I felt a pang of hurt considering what he might think about me and what happened between us. It felt more painful than knowing my ex-boyfriend cheated and made a bet on me.My strand of thought was interrupted when I heard the familiar sound of a vibrating phone. I know it's mine. I slowly lifted his arm and slid out
Six years later." Come now, don't give me that puppy eye Alexander, you said you're a big guy already. Can you give Mommy some kisses before you go inside? " I asked my five-year-old little "smart guy" I'm not bragging but he exceeded in K-2 (kindergarten 2) and was now on P-1 or (Primary-1) as he can read and write already.This is the first time that I'm letting him out of my sight and I'm a little bit anxious but I toughen my weak heart to be strong and not let the tears fall in my eyes. At Least not in front of my son. I know it will just make things harder for my son to leave my side.He has never been to school so he's crying right now seeing me letting him go." Mommy, Will you still come back? " He asked with a crooked voice, that tore my heart apart.Gosh, I wish I could just bring him home but he needs a social life too. I can’t shelter him forever from the outside world. I bend down and brush his silky brown hair."Baby listen, Mommy will always come back for you. Later yo
" There's nothing impossible for a man with lots of connections, Miss. Morgan, and to Mr. Harlington it's easy. Have you forgotten that you left your phone number to him? He did receive your note but that was after four months because he went to fix some business problem in Europe. You were gone and nobody, even your best friend, didn't want to tell us where you were. " Mr. Reid explains."Ok, let's say that he has that much connection but your explanation didn't answer my question, Mr. Reid, how did he know he had a son? and how did he even get a D.N.A. from my son? " I clench my teeth while waiting for his answer. My son never left my side, unless someone has been on the lookout for us. When I think over it creeps me out.He took a sip from the glass of water I gave to him before he replied to me."Mr Harlington found you when you were six months pregnant and started following all that you have been doing for the last six years. He didn't show up earlier and let you know that he kno
It was already evening when I finished my last meeting for the day. I was exhausted yet I didn't want to go back to the penthouse. The darkness and quietness of the place is very unwelcoming for me. After I started living on my own, I thought the joy of having the freedom to do what I wanted without Amanda or Claire barging on my door would satisfy me but it wasn't. I decided to stop at the nearby Disco bar. A popular meeting site for people who want to hook up and get laid. I was sitting on the right corner of the bar, just the perfect spot to see people coming in and out of the place when I spotted two new faces. The Disco Bar has a high entrance fee but in return, they give their customers a welcome drink. The one who stands out wearing a tube glued to her upper body and tight jeans emphasizing her long-legged legs and perfect figure gulps the drink in one go just like a pro. However, the lady next to her who was wearing a black strapless mini-dress tried to do the same but failed
Mr Reid announces that soon we will be arriving in Clyde's Villa. I start to feel anxious and worried with every minute that passes by. I wanted to see my son so badly but half of my mind was scared knowing I would soon be facing his father. My heart is pounding so fast, I can hear it drumming in my ears. I don't have a clue what Clyde is planning to do, but if he's thinking of keeping my son away from me I won't let him do that! I'll fight him with all my might! He can't just take away my son like that without my permission. My blood is raging inside of me from what he did but realization slapped me so hard in my face that I could even feel the sting. He's a very powerful man there's no doubt about that. If he wants to, he can take my son away from me buying all the judges and police to be on his sid. It’s scary to think far ahead about what possible outcome would await me if I refused him. My strand of thought is cut off when Mr Reid announces that we have arrived already. When the
I felt my heart flutter with joy hearing his promise to his son.I don't know if I'm dreaming or not but I thought I saw a glimpse of admiration and love in his eyes while looking at me intently.A little bit later I didn't notice he was already walking towards me. I was shocked when he slid his arms around my waist and pulled me next to him while opening the door. I looked at my son but Alexander was already busy playing with his new toys. After the door shut, I quickly shook Clyde's hands that were still resting comfortably on my waist. Like it’s just a normal thing that his hand lays there. I thought I was finally free but it lasted only for a few seconds when I felt his arm encircling on my waist. Clyde held me firm, giving off this kind of possessive vibe on him before bringing me inside the next room.Argh! I was supposed to complain and say knock it off! but my attention was caught seeing his huge office with a big office table. He has a big leather couch and a 105-inch Samsu
“ We will also head out so Mom and Dad can come and see you. Amanda was so eager to check on you but decided for us to buy you fruits. So make sure you try to eat all of them ok?” Claire rolled her eyes pointing to the big basket of fruits before patting my hand while smiling at me. Guessing by her reaction my mother in law probably overreacted seeing the wide variety of fruit in the basket. “ Thank you Claire and Mikhail.” Claire's husband just nodded his head as he placed his hand at the back of his wife while his free hand was holding Yulia’s.“ Bye Yulia, let's play later.” Alexander waved his hand to her and Yulia uttered “ok.” Waving back to my son. This fast few months that the Mikhaylov Family Live in our home in Oak Hill. The two became so close like they were real cousins. A smile forms on my face as my dad and mom come closer to the bed. Dad brushed my hair while mom took my hand and squeezed it gently. I can see Mom has misty eyes so I tried to cheer them up.“ I’m ok,Th
When we reached the airport it was only then that I realized that I had already forgotten about the file that I’ve just read. When I asked James he told me he will make sure to delete it because we left the secret room in a hurry and Neo was not instructed what to do with the file. I sight and thank him for everything. When I landed in Iowa City I was grateful to see that Mr. Fred was there waiting for me. When I glance at my phone it seems like nothing has changed after I left my husband. Sitting in the passenger seat I felt a throbbing pain in my head. This fast 24 hours has been a roller coaster ride. The overwhelming stress, flying back and forth to this city but it doesn’t matter even though my legs are aching my stomach is a bit upset. As long as I can see Clyde the moment the sun rises up. I will be ok, we’ll that's what i thought but upon arriving in the hospital my stomach became unbearable that Amanda who just arrived as well notice my pale look.“ Goodness! Dear, how did yo
James looked worried about me but eventually said fine and I immediately clicked the file. It was a video compilation and It plays right away. The video looks a bit old, probably from six years ago when I was still pregnant with Alexander. I gasped when I saw myself in the video walking around with a big bump. Serving some customers who ordered my aunt's famous homemade carrot cake. The video was taken not far from where I stood . It was a scorching hot day and I remembered I collapsed from the heat but I don't remember how I ended up in the hospital without any injuries at all. But in the video the camera shivered the moment i held my head trying to fight off the dizziness that i am feeling at that moment and then everything became blank but not on the video who somehow still caught the entire event. Clyde stood behind me grabbing my shoulder with one arm making my body rest on him before he scooped me up, surprising the people around the cafeteria. My Aunt came out of the casa and
Chapter * 119 She Found The Answer *The room was huge and had a big bed near the balcony. Everywhere I look, the very walls of this room are basically filled with small or big picture frames of me while I was still pregnant, while I was working on my Aunts small Cafeteria, until I gave birth to Alexander. What caught my attention was the huge portrait I had with my son when he just turned one. I wonder if Clyde pays off the photographer to get a copy of it but it doesn’t matter. I know he was obsessed with us and somehow even though it defies practical reasoning. Deep in my heart I am glad that he was there in every milestone of our son. Even without knowing, just thinking how much effort he has to put in just to have a glimpse of us from afar. A stabbing pain fierce through my heart. I wipe the tears that slip down on my cheeks as I wonder how much pain he had suffered when he wanted to be with us and he couldn't. I glance at James whom I caught staring at me. His eye’s show sad emo
Within two hours I arrived safely in the Oak Hill VIlla in Jefferson city. I was greeted by familiar faces who were shedding tears. They are the ones I often see, serving Alexander and me at home. “ I’m back, you guys should greet me with a smile, why are you all shedding tears?” I asked while Miss Charlotte came forward and asked if she could carry my hand bag. I gave it to her and dismissed the other servant with a grateful smile etched on my lips.“ Where is James?” I asked while we stepped in the elevator.“ Mistress, Mr. James is at Master’s Clyde office.” I walk straight to the office after the elevator opens.“ Mistress, would you like something to eat or drink?”“ Did James have his dinner?” I inquired “ Mister James doesn’t want to be bothered, the last time he asked for food was at 3 o’clock in the afternoon, Mistress.” I nodded my head in acknowledgement.“ Please prepare two green teas and a light sandwich will be fine, Thank you Miss Charlotte.” I knock once before punc
I shut my eyes, Rearranging my thoughts.“ Ok, Are you certain that I can predict the password?” I asked in a serious tone of voice that even my son sit up on the couch properly.“ I am absolutely sure, trust me you mean the world to Clyde, I know it’s something only both of you know.” I took a deep breath, I really don’t want to leave my husband's side but if this will help him. I wanted to try if I could be of any help. I am not that well versed in the world of business but I am well aware that one huge business deal means a lot for a businessman.“ Fine, I’ll leave after I revisit Clyde in the hospital. Does my in-laws know about this already?” I inquired.“ They know, but are you sure you want to leave tonight?”“ The earlier it's done the faster I can go back and be by my husband's side. You only need to arrange that the private jet is ready when I arrive at the airport, James.”“ Absolutely! Rest assured it will all be taken care of Alec, You only need yourself and will be fixe
I screamed in horror as I watched Clyde shield us with his body.“No!” My hand lifted in the air as I saw my husband fall on the ground behind me. It was like what had just happened played in front of my eyes. Tears started streaming down my cheeks as I tried to reach Clyde but things became darker and darker and it was suffocating that I couldn't breathe. I shouted Clyde’s name and asked him to wake up and it was only then that my eyes fluttered open and I was greeted by the room's darkness. The only light emitting was from the post lamp. My brows furrowed as I looked at my wristwatch. It was already 8 in the evening. I remembered talking to my parents and Alexander before I went to bed this morning. After that I felt like I was stuck in a dream that repeatedly plays on after the cycle of events was over.I pushed my body to move and I sat up on the bed feeling my head was still heavy. What my mom probably gave me was sleeping pills to help me sleep. It took five minutes before I felt
When we came back after forcing myself to eat just to have power to start the day. Claire booked a hotel where she, Yulia, my son and my parents can stay and rest while we are waiting for the news of my husband waking up. When we came back I saw the staff of the hospital start preparing Clyde’s room. It's fascinating how money can move people to do things efficiently, if Clyde is just an ordinary person and we are living a normal life. I stop myself from thinking because I start having chills all over my body. If we are just ordinary people Clyde won’t have the privilege to have a good Doctor attending to him nor a private room that no one can bother him with while he recuperates.Not long after everything was arranged in my husband’s private room, one nurse came out telling us that the attending physician was inside waiting for me and Amanda to come inside. Amanda warmly held my arms as we both entered the room.As we open the room we are welcomed by the beeping sound of the monito
When the roller coaster emotion that has taken over me calms down, It has been two hours more. My lips quiver and my eyesight blurred as I stared again at the red light in the operating room. How long does my husband still need to stay there? The longer time that he was inside the more I felt hopeless. My mother stayed by my side and the rest of Clyde's family sat on the bench quietly waiting. Amanda was even uttering prayers for her son’s safety. I took a deep sigh as I closed my eyes. God says trust in him and let him face your battle in your stead. So I, just like Clyde’s mom, started praying from the bottom of my heart seeking God's refuge and comfort. Asking for his mercy and forgiveness lifting up the life of my husband unto him because I know he's the only one who can decide how long we could live in this world. As my tears stream down my cheeks and my shoulders start shivering from quietly crying. My mom patted my hand that was placed in my heart. I opened my eyes and saw Clyde
