_________________________________..."I don't see how your families coming over is a big problem," Bianca said over the phone. She had baby Jamie in her arms as she tried to feed him the formula. Fiona was peacefully sleeping and Roselyn was out with her girl gang from university. So it was Bianca Stanley versus Jamie Stanley-Anderson. And currently, Jamie was winning. He was screaming at the top of his lungs and Bianca was in the far end of the apartment, fearing the blood-curdling screams of her twin brother would wake little Fiona up and Bianca just wasn't ready for her two babies having a screaming match. "Come on, look at your aunt and smile at her. She could use some happiness in her life."I narrowed my eyes at her.Why the hell was she taking jabs at me while trying to shush my nephew?"I know you wanna mess with Mommy, love, but please don't make yourself sick because of your stupid Mommy." I cooed at him. He stopped crying for a moment, looking wide-eyed wondering where

______________________________...Sonya was grabbing on to my hand. Her hold was tight, desperate. There was definitely something wrong with her."Are you okay? Is everything okay?" I didn't know whether something had happened to her or if she was tensed about whatever was going to happen here.I hoped nothing happened here, because the last thing I needed right now was more drama as compared to whatever Rowan had planned for the evening.Rowan was not just a negotiator. He was an elaborate planner and manipulator. Things could really turn around today.I was very worried.See, how the hell did I have feelings for someone I was almost scared of?Pftt... Am I not the same person who said I wasn't afraid of Rowan Keller?I have really become a pathetic shadow of my former self.It was so sad.And oh wow, I was back to thinking about my feelings for him and shit though I promised myself that I would not and that I would move on.See, the only person ruining my happiness is me, myself

_______________________________..."I don't want you near her, Aurora. Because I know exactly what you are planning!""And what exactly is she planning?" Simon asked."She is waiting for some bits from this situation that will help her blackmail me the way I did with her sister!""Excuse me?" Elizabeth looked at her son like he was crazy.Meanwhile, I stood there wondering whether I should be offended that he thought I would be anything like him, or smack my forehead and wonder how anyone would be able to placate this situation.Rowan was angry and he just lost control and spewed the very reason why I was still in this awful marriage of mine."What do you mean by you are blackmailing her with her sister?" Simon looked like he was about to explode. And the change in expression on Rowan's face told me that he had suddenly realized that he had fucked up. Oh big time buddy, and I honestly don't think I am in the mood to fix this shit for you right now."That is a discussion for another

_____________________________..."Can someone tell me what's going on?" My Dad asked as soon as Gabriella and I walked out of my room. My eyes met Rowan's and I could see the anger and tension in them. Of course, it was going to be no less than a war zone right now. But honestly, he did not have anything to worry about as of now. I was not going to attack him like that. I was not going to stoop to his level and involve our families in our fight. "It's nothing, Dad. Just girl stuff." I shrugged. Gabriella nodded though I did not miss the death stare she gave Rowan. Rowan really was a bad guy, wasn't he? No matter how much I used to internally defend him, right now, I could not help but just feel stupid. Why was I so aggressively defending someone who never deserved it? Well, then again, he never asked to be defended. It was me all along. "Can we just forget the tension and get to dinner?" Gabriella asked. "I have stuff to do in the morning." I looked over at her, feeling proud.

_________________________...I woke up to a text from my sister. She had selected the college that she was going to transfer to. And she had also texted that Eric had informed her that he will be choosing whichever house she wanted to stay in.He really was going out of his way to help me out.I really needed to get all my friends together and try to talk some sense to him.I guess it was sort of bad that I was doing all this only because I felt like I was obliged to return the favor, but we friends had always thought of having this conversation with him. Except we always ended up with something else on our plates and not being able to find time to do it.I jumped by the sudden loud banging on the door.I rolled my eyes.Did he really want to fight so early in the morning?I got off the bed and put on my slippers and my robe. I fell asleep only wearing a pair of panties last night. I hated bras at night and my pajamas were annoying. I had a bad habit of taking off my clothes when I

____________________________...I turned on my heels and was about to go back into my room when he stopped."Okay fine!" He said.I didn't turn back to face him. I didn't want to seem too interested."But can we have one last deal?"I slowly turned to face him, my eyes narrowed. What the hell was he plotting now?I tilted my head and crossed my hands over my chest. "I am listening." I was very cautious. I had to be very cautious. I had just went for a full blown attack right now, and he was not one to sit quiet. "One year." He said. I raised a brow. What was he talking about?"One year of what?" I asked, sounding as exasperated as I was feeling right now. "You want one more year of this shit marriage so that you can do something to get your revenge? Is that it? One year to make sure that you get back at me?" "One more year of this fake marriage." He said evenly. Emotionlessly. "One more year of this fake marriage until everything settles down. Until we manage to come to a point

_____________________________..."He is really going with that?" Ashton asked, rocking back and forth on the chair. I shrugged. "I seriously don't know what your best friend is thinking." "Neither do I." He sighed. "I hope he isn't gearing up for something crazy."I raised a brow at him and he simply shrugged."Hey, I love my best friend but you know your husband. He can be a total douche." I couldn't help but laugh out loud at that. Ashton was right about that one. As much as I liked to believe that I knew Rowan like the back of my hand, he really could be pretty spontaneous with his plotting. Right now, I had no other choice other than to wait around for that dude to launch some other bomb at me, or for my lawyer to draw up a foul-proof contract to save everything that I cared about. Gabriella was leaving for Australia today evening and I had to go to her as well. I didn't want her to leave. I wanted her to stay with her family. She never got to do it as a kid and after she

____________________________...I woke up in the morning feeling like shit. I think it has everything to do with me crying myself to sleep last night. Again.I felt like a complete failure, unable to protect my own sister. I knew all of this was water under the bridge and one needed to move on but it still poked at my chest.My phone rang just then and I wasn't surprised to see that it was Bianca. She knew that I needed some moral support for the next few days. "Rise and shine!!" She sang as I placed the phone down on my vanity table, raising a brow at her. She had the twins strapped to her chest. "I have already risen," I said, smiling at the two babies staring cluelessly at me, nibbling on their pacifiers. "Yeah, but you are not shining." Bianca was walking around the house. "Why do you have the kids all strapped up so early in the morning?" I asked her. "The girls' handball team needs me. They have their regionals tomorrow and the substitute called in sick." Bianca rolled

________________________________...Rowan whistled as I got into the passenger's seat. "What?" "Remind me never to mess with you!" He laughed. I narrowed my eyes at him. I wanted to tell him that he had crossed the limits to which he could mess with me and I had half a mind to tell him that, but I was keeping my peace. "Well done, Joshua." I turned my head around to look at my still-sleeping niece and nephew. "You get to keep your job." I narrowed my eyes at him when he mumbled incoherently and then we were on our way to the office. ..."Yes, you look like your Mommy Rose. It would have been so bad if you had looked like Mommy Bee!" Zoe cooed as she played with Fiona. I was rocking Jamie in my arms. I wanted to tell her that that is not how it worked and the kids had Bianca's genetic components but I guessed that she probably meant it as a joke. There was a knock on the door and before I could turn on my chair, the look on Zoe's face gave me an idea of who it could be. I

__________________________ . . . ROWAN . I let out another sigh as I watched the guests file in, saying a 'Glad you could make it!' here and shaking a hand there. These were the same people with whom I had left Aurora to go to attend to. Aurora was still not here. Nor was any of the other ladies. They were taking their sweet time getting ready while ushering the men to come ahead and attend to the guests. Which was unfair if you would ask me. Even we would like to take our sweet time to get ready. Besides, shouldn't the husband and wife make a joint entry? Doesn't that make more sense? "Fidelity looks good on you." I rolled my eyes as I turned to the source of the voice. Ashton, my best friend, stood there grinning at me with a brunette in his arm. I swallowed what I really wanted to say. I didn't want to offend the lady in his arms. Instead I went with, "Good to see you too, Ashton. Thanks for coming." Ashton raised a brow at me, looking thoroughly surprised. "What?" I ask
