Aftercare (1)

Leon sat next to Sia's bed, watching her sleep, her face was calm as she was sleeping, despite the burns and the bruises on her skin. Her breathing was steady and for now, that was all that mattered to him. The room was quiet except, for the soft ticking of the clock on the wall. Despite the calmness in the room, all he could think was the image of fire surrounded all around them and the dread he felt when he realised that she was inside. He had gone out to take a call when the fire broke out. However, he rushed back inside to find her. He was not ready to lose the love of his life again. When his phone rang again, Leon hesitated before answering as it was his mother’s name flashing on the screen. He took a deep breath before taking the call. She would be dead sick for him at the moment. "Leon, baby, are you okay?" Anne’s voice trembled with concern. He could hear the fear in her words and the way she had probably been imagining the worst after hearing about the fire. "We heard ab

Aftercare (2)

Kate’s voice dropped to a whisper, almost as if she was sharing a secret. "He loves you, boss. Madly." She glanced around the room, making sure no one else could hear, before adding, "I even saw him crying silently while holding your hand."Sia’s breath caught in her throat at the news. She couldn’t imagine Leon crying. He was usually blank or nonchalant. She felt even worse now knowing that her own pain had caused him to suffer. What was she supposed to do with a man like him? A man who loved her so deeply? Yes, she loved him back but… She did not let negative thoughts to come to her head and ruin her prospects of a good life. She deserve this love. She told herself. She would go to equal lengths for him. Each time, she had to tell herself that she was worthy of all the love that she got from him. With a sigh, Sia looked at Kate. "Kate, you need to eat and get some sleep. I will make him get some rest. He can’t keep going like this."Kate shook her head stubbornly. "I can’t leave y

Siblings at her place

Charlotte’s heart ached while seeing Sia in such a fragile state. She wanted nothing more than to wrap her best friend in a comforting hug but she knew it would only cause Sia more pain. She could not touch Sia without causing pain. “I’m not leaving,” Charlotte announced. They could not get rid of her. Her bestfriend was in pain and she needed to be here to take care of her. Sia wasn’t surprised. She knew the moment Charlotte found out about her injuries, she wouldn’t go anywhere.Leon, however, raised an eyebrow. “Why would you stay here?”“To take care of her,” Charlotte replied without hesitation.Leon crossed his arms. “I’m here. She doesn’t need anyone else. I’m her boyfriend, it’s my job to take care of her.”Charlotte shot him a defiant look. “I respect that you are her boyfriend, but I’m her best friend and family. Leaving her alone with you feels like leaving my daughter at her in-laws. I’m not comfortable with that.”Leon frowned, bewildered by her choice of words. Weren’

Intern Rhys

Leon was so sleep-deprived that he slept straight through until the next day. When he woke up, he noticed that Sia wasn’t around. He glanced at the phone on the nightstand, it was supposed to ring because he had set an alarm, but the alarm didn’t go off, and it was on silent mode. His eyes widened when he saw the date and time.As he hurried to get up, anxiety bubbling inside him, he noticed a voice message on his phone.“Leon, I’m in the living room with Charlotte. I took my medicine and had meals on time. Charlotte and Kate are taking care of me, so don’t stress. I’m absolutely fine. Also, your clothes and other things are in the closet. Take a long, relaxing shower. I will be waiting for you. P.S.: Don’t rush.”A smile formed on his lips. He decided to follow her instructions and not rush, though it was difficult knowing she was waiting downstairs. Still, he didn’t want to disappoint her, so he reluctantly took his things and headed for the shower. The best part? His clothes were n

Punishment

“It’s been three days. When will you all return home?” Leon asked his siblings.Rhys answered, “I’m an intern. I work for her. How can I leave her?”Callum replied, “I’m still convincing her to fund my projects. And we spent the evening planting new plants. She was so happy and relaxed. Isn’t that what matters the most?”Coco added, “I’m the best friend! You may or may not be in her wedding, but I will be! So choose your battles wisely, brother.”Abella gave her best puppy eyes. “Can I please stay since everyone is here?”Leon sighed and sat on the couch. He couldn’t deal with his siblings. He felt like giving them all a piece of his mind, but what could he do? He was a sucker for the woman he loved, and these rascals had her wrapped around their fingers.Abella heard the oven ding and ran to the kitchen. A few minutes later, she came back with a plate full of soft breads that looked more like fruit cakes.Abella said excitedly, “Sia, I got you bread!”Sia’s eyes brightened up. Oh god,

I wanted to invite Alessia Swift to make peace. I don’t understand why she is trying to bring me down. I don’t even hold a grudge against her.”Matthew replied, “You are working with me, isn’t that enough reason for her to have a grudge?”Archie responded, “H

Women of his dreams

On the other hand, as Olivia left the room, Matthew sat on his bed and called his assistant.“Did you find out who the woman was who saved me?” Matthew asked. He didn’t remember much, but he did recall that there was a woman who took a fiery log in her hand and saved him from being burned. He didn’t know much about her, but he recognized her as the woman who had been smiling and laughing in the café that day. The ame woman who had caught his attention. Alas, he hadn’t seen her face properly.At first, he tried to forget her. He didn’t want to know about her. But each night, he would wake up in a sweat, haunted by dreams of that woman. All he wanted was to see her, to know her, and to speak to her. He didn’t understand why his heartbeat quickened each time he thought about that mysterious woman, but all he wanted was her.He knew it was wrong as he was married to Olivia who was the love of his life. He had fought against his whole family and the world to marry her. He loved Olivia, bu

Scars

My dear nephew, am I seeing things?” Luke asked. “Are you my important appointment today? And you brought a lady?” He added with a laugh, “Stand there with her. Yes, good.” He took out his phone and snapped a picture. “I will send this to Emery. Maybe she will let me sleep in the bed tonight.”Sia stifled a smile. Just as she recalled, the couple were as loving as ever. Leon’s lips twitched. “I’m sure you deserve it.”Luke said, “Hey, kiddo! I’m your favorite uncle!”Leon rolled his eye

Charlotte's arc (1)

In the city of love, a young woman sat on the half wall while watching the tourists around her. They were all so in love, expressing their affection, exchanging smiles, and everything in between. In the past hour alone, she had witnessed four proposals, several babymoons, and gazillions of honeymooners. She cursed under her breath. She should never have listened to her agent and come here. What was she thinking, sitting in front of the Eiffel Tower, hoping to find inspiration for her new exhibition?Instead of inspiration, she was getting frustrated. The sight of all these couples was starting to annoy her.Suddenly, her attention was drawn to a tall, attractive man. The reason he stood out was simple, he was strikingly handsome, almost as if he had stepped out of a fashion magazine. His hair was slightly longer than usual, casually combed back. But it wasn’t his style or his face that caught her eye. It was the dimple on his cheek that appeared as he smiled genuinely, and the way his
