The Marriage Contract #8
**LIA** Finally, I arrived back home that afternoon, but not before making a detour to Jessica's apartment and a pharmacy. I stood in front of my house, ready to knock. A mixture of excitement and apprehension welled up within me. I faked a smile and took a deep breath. While I was undeniably happy to be home, the situation I was in cast a shadow over my return. With newfound resolve, I finally knocked on the door. "It's opened!" Lena, my sister, called from inside. "Come on, Selena, go and check who's at the door," my mom's voice followed. It had been so long. Yes, we had FaceTimed, chatted, and had countless phone calls, but nothing compared to the real thing. I was almost in tears, given my situation and how much I had missed her. "Ugh! Mum, you're stressing me out!" Lena's exasperated voice echoed through the house. "Come on, get up, you lazy ass! Be useful to me for once!" my mom's response was filled with irritation. I was close to laughter. The dynamics between them hadn't

*ONE YEAR LATER* **DREX** The room buzzed with excitement as everyone chanted, "Cut the cake!" Yes, that's right, it was my birthday, and today was also the day of my engagement ceremony to the love of my life, Jessica. She was the woman I had once tried to surprise on her birthday, but that attempt had gone horribly wrong due to a situation with... someone else. After successfully cutting the cake, a strange, unfamiliar voice suddenly pierced the celebratory atmosphere. "Hold it right there!" The voice belonged to a young woman holding a baby wrapped in a white flannel. Her arrival drew collective gasps of surprise and attention. She pointed directly at me. "You," she exclaimed. I was bewildered by the sudden intrusion. "Me?" I asked, my confusion evident. "Why are you here, and who are you? I don't remember inviting this person," my father said, positioning himself between me and the woman, trying to shield me from her view. "This is your grandchild!" she declared, causing a

**LIA** I arrived home, expecting to find my baby peacefully sleeping or my sister looking after her. However, I was met with a surprising sight: my sister was busy applying makeup. I scanned the room in search of my child, but she was nowhere in sight. "where is Angel?" I asked. My sister nonchalantly continued her makeup application. "I solved your problem for you," she replied. "What... what problem?" My confusion was evident in my voice. My sister set down her makeup and approached me. She placed her hand on my shoulder and said, "I'm sorry I acted without your knowledge, but it was necessary. It's for the best. Now you're free to continue with your life." I moved back a little, distancing myself from her touch. "Could you please clarify? I need it in plain language. 'Live my life' and 'I'm free' doesn't make sense to me," I insisted, growing increasingly frustrated. "I took Angel to a better place," she explained. "What are you saying?!" I raised my voice. "I took her to

**LIA** Drex and I stood anxiously behind the imposing dining hall doors. His father's words weren't to be taken lightly. Even Lena was inside that room! I couldn't help but wonder, why me? We exchanged frustrated glances as we waited for the outcome of this family discussion. My patience was wearing thin, and I couldn't stand the thought of talking to him, this so-called father-to-my-child who had run from his responsibilities like a coward. I glared at Drex, unable to contain my agitation. "Got anything to say to me?" My impatience slipped through my voice. His response was terse, "No." "Then quit staring!" I snapped, not bothering to hide my irritation. Drex muttered, "It's not like you didn't stare back." I scoffed, "Well, unlike someone, I didn't run away from the stare, I stared back." As the seconds ticked by, I couldn't help but seethe at the whole situation. I was eager for the door to open, revealing the fate of my dear Angel. Drex's voice cut through the tense air,
The Marriage Contract #12
**LIA** "What?!" Drex and I exclaimed in disbelief. The news left me shocked but, honestly, not entirely surprised. I knew that Drex hadn't exactly been thrilled about the prospect of fatherhood from the very beginning, even before Angel was conceived. "Yes," Drex's dad affirmed. In a desperate attempt to hasten the process, I quickly responded, "Okay, fine. Can I have my daughter now?" I wanted to appear smart and eager, but I could see that Drex's dad was already one step ahead. "Not so fast, my dear daughter-in-law," he smirked. I couldn't help but acknowledge that his wit was quite impressive. "You will only see your daughter after your marriage, and the more you delay, the longer you'll be separated from little Delia," he added with a smug smile. He had already named her? This family seemed to make decisions without much consideration for anyone else's opinion, including mine. Turning to my mum for assistance, I questioned, "Why do I have to go through with this when your so

**LIA** *KNOCK! KNOCK!* The sound of a soft but persistent knock echoed through my room, followed by Lena's voice gently calling my name. "Lena, don't come in!" I shouted, my voice muffled by the tears that soaked my pillow. I just needed to be alone with my thoughts, to process the whirlwind of emotions that had engulfed my life. However, Lena disregarded my plea and entered the room with a quiet determination. "Hey," she said softly, approaching cautiously as if stepping on eggshells. She was trying to be the supportive cousin she had always been. I couldn't contain my frustration. "I told you not to come in!" I yelled and threw my pillow in her direction. "Lia, I'm really sorry," Lena said, settling beside me. "I thought I was doing what's best for you. What would you do when Angel asks for her dad in the future?" "That's my problem, not yours!" I retorted, pushing her away emotionally. I wanted to be alone in my misery. "Listen, I'm only trying to look out for you," Lena sa
The Marriage Contract #14
**LIA** "Wait, Lia, are you serious?" Lena inquired, her eyes wide with disbelief, while my mother regarded me curiously, concern etched across her face. I nodded, taking a deep breath. "Yes, I've given it a lot of thought. Angel deserves to know both her parents. Drex and I have discussed this, and we've come to an agreement. I'm doing this for my daughter." I moved closer to my mother, taking her hand and placing it on my lap while holding it firmly. Her expression was filled with worry. "Darling, don't worry. I'll support any decision you make," my mother reassured me, her touch tender as she held my face in her palm. She looked at me with love, then wrapped her arms around me, pulling me close. Lena, observing our exchange with a smile, decided to break the silence. "So when is the wedding?" she asked cheerfully. "Selena!" My mother scolded her, clearly thinking that she should be more sensitive to the gravity of the situation. I, however, responded, "Mum, it's fine. I'm real
The Marriage Contract #15
**LIA** When we arrived at the hotel, we approached the receptionist to explain that we had a reservation for the VIP honeymoon suite. Upon entering the hotel room, I couldn't help but marvel at the opulence. It was the VIP honeymoon suite, after all, and the size was breathtaking. The room was like my entire apartment condensed into one space, and I was immediately drawn to explore every corner. The room featured a spacious sitting area with a large TV mounted on the wall. Behind the couch, there was another room, separated by glass sliding doors. The bed was enormous, and I was further impressed when I ventured into the bathroom. It was so vast that you could practically sleep in it. As I excitedly explored every nook and cranny, I occasionally glanced at Drex. He was already lounging on the couch, engrossed in his phone. My mood soured slightly as I observed his relaxed demeanor. I couldn't help but wonder whom he was texting and why he appeared so content. A surge of frustratio

**JASPER**Just coming back from a stroll, when I witnessed Jessica having the door slammed shut on her face. I was going to ignore it and climb upstairs to my apartment, because I had no business with her anymore,but just then she turns around and sighted me. "Jasper?" She called and sniffed. I then look at her direction, she was in tears, I couldn't just leave her like that so I ended up taking her to my apartment. "Want some coffee?" I offered. "Yes please,"she answers and cleans her tears. "Alright," I clicked my tongue and went into the kitchen, made the coffee and brought it for her. Her eyes already puffy and red from crying. "Thanks," she managed to say and collects the coffee from me. Then I sat next to her, we hadn't really been close like this since her birthday, she told me she was ready to end her relationship with Drex for me. We were childhood friends and then became best friends and the year I told her I was in love with her was when she also told me she was

**LIA**He made his first movement very slowly inside me and I moaned at the contact. Making me forget what had interrupted us before. "Hmmm...who-hmmhmm," I suddenly could not make a sentence anymore, I was a moaning mess, and all because of just his fingers."Baby girl, let's-us-just-ignore-it, who's-ever-at-the-door-would-go-away," Drex said all those words each, planting a kiss on my neck,still fingering me slowly, touching every area needed in the walls of my opening. "Hmmhmm," I couldn't even voice out a yes, but I guess he understood. Just when we thought the person was gone because we didn't hear the doorbell anymore, the person decided to knock this time, and not even once, continuously. I guess the person really needs us. "Hmmhmm...D-hmmmm," Yeah I still couldn't make up a sentence. But then it was like Drex understood once again. This time Drex began moving faster with his finger, like he wanted us to finish up quick I guess, but then I was still enjoying it all too mu

**LIA**The movie, started off all nice and romantic and suddenly heated scenes starts to show and I was suddenly feeling hot, I didn't know the movie would show all these. I guess that's why the name is hence 'Burning desires,' I turn to my side only to find Drex already staring at me. "Yes...hmm," the female lead began moaning. Not the right time for this TV."Harder baby!" She yells. This is so embarrassing. Drex didn't say anything but instead I could see his eyes get darker with desire and I didn't even realize how dry my throat was, I swallowed and then took my lower lip in my mouth biting it in the process. "I want all of you," the male lead spoke while you could hear the moaning sounds in the background. It was as if that was what Drex was waiting on, before I realized what was going on, Drex, in a swift motion charges towards me and took my lips making the both of us land on the bed, I was now laying on my back while he was hovering above me. His lips were warm and soft
The Marriage Contract #36
**LIA**After mentally groaning to the interuption of my comfortability, who had the audacity to interrupt me time. I thought I should be home alone by now right? I mean it's either they went to his room or went out to, so why is there a knock at my door? I got up from my bed and opened the door. It was Drex. What was he doing here? I thought he had to hang out with Jessica now or something. "Drex?" I called his name in question. "What are you doing here? And where is Jessica?" I asked, peeping out of my door trying to seek her out. "Mind if I join you?" He asked surveying my room, trying not to make eye contact. Join me? in my room? "What-what about Jessica?" I had to ask again. "I um sent her away..." He said, his hand finding it's way to the back of his neck. "Are you guys okay?" I had to ask. Because just four days ago the two of them couldn't get enough of themselves. I mean Drex forgot his child because of her. "Yeah...can we not-" he said.Oh, I didn't mean to pry."Ye
The Marriage Contract #35
**LIA**As promised, Drex did his part as a dad to Angel, he'd help me feed her while I get ready for school, he makes sure she's tucked in before I get back home maybe when I have a late night class that day or I meet them playing if i get home early. He picks her up from school and helped me with most of the things that involved taking care of her. She was so used to her dad tucking her in that if he doesn't she makes a huge fuss.He made it so easy for me with school and all, I start to pity him, he's probably trying to make up for what he did. I didn't really feel being a mother much, because of his help. Weekend came by so fast, we decided to take Angel to her grandparents house, by that I meant his family. His sister also came visiting to his parents house and by visiting,I mean stay a while with them, With her twin boys who were about 3-4 years old and her husband. I'd only seen her once before and that was on my wedding day. It was just us two in the house when we came back

**LIA**I ended up explaining everything to Jasper on our way back home, our arms still linked together. "Well that is...just messed up!" He concluded. Right?! "I know!" I replied. "The important thing now is that she is safe and well tucked in." He said tapping my hand that was linked to his. "Yes that is true..." I said. As long as my baby's safe. We finally got to our gate and he decided to escort me to my door. "You should get some rest, I don't suggest you drink that today..." He said referring to the 6 cans of beer I had in the nylon I held. "It's already late, you should just get some rest.""Thanks Jasper," I removed my arm from his."I'll get that rest," "You should probably talk to Drex," He said with a smile. "Good night Lia," and then he left. "Good night," I waved at him. I got inside hoping Drex would be in his room already asleep but he was still in the living room. I tried as much as possible not to make eye contact,so I'd just head into my room but he wa

**DREX**After spending the whole day with Jessica, she begged me to take her to my house, to sleep over. I couldn't refuse, I took her home. We were heading in when Jessica decided to chat a bit outside with meWe were having a chat, our hands intertwined, when I noticed Lia and she was holding a sound sleeping Angel in her hand. She looked like she was shocked or something. Why is she just entering now? Isn't it a bit too late? I shouldn't bother, it's not really my problem... Is it?"You're one despicable human being" she said and walked away. "What's her deal?" Jessica asked while I just watched her walk away. "Drex! Hello! Focus on me!" Jessica brings my attention back to her. But it seems like my mind wanted to wonder the more. What happened and why am I a despicable human being? Did I do something that hurt her that bad? "Drex! Come on!" Jessica tries again. "Oh I'm sorry Jessica, you should probably head home," I said to her. "What?!" She raised her voice in surprise. "

No litrally, I don't Know why but the love I have for being up there is so huge. Ever since I was little, I have always enjoyed flying so much I decided to be a pilot so it would be a regular thing for me to fly. When I told my dad, he made sure I got the best education, hired the best tutor and looked for the best college for me. He has always tried to help me, but somehow I was always disappointing him, not in my studies, just in everything else, like making any decisions. And something I thought was the biggest disappointment was somehow his happiness. Anyways, I have decided to make him proud by being the best pilot there is. After all that's what he expects from me after giving me the best. Didn't have much classes to do today, so I was done with classes by 2. Since I am in my final year it's mostly just projects and assignments. I w

**LIA**As I emerged from my room, the tension in the air was suffocating. All I could think about was grabbing a beer to numb the stress pulsating through my veins. Striding purposefully to the kitchen, I swung open the fridge door, hoping for a glimmer of relief. But alas, only one lone can greeted my searching gaze, mocking my desperate craving.Frustration clawed at my insides as I closed the fridge, resigned to my dwindling supply. Retreating back to my room, I shed the constraints of the day, I needed to get more cans, slipping into the comforting embrace of a grey sweat pant and hoodie. Tying my unruly hair into a messy bun, I tried to contain the chaos raging within. Taking my phone with me and coming back out of my room, Drex was already in the living room, he was watching the whatever was on TV. I didn't even want to see him right now, I was beyond pissed! I just wanted to quietly leave the house unfortunately he notices my presence. "Hey where are you going to?" He asked.
