Meeting-inlaws (3)

Holding the plate of treats, Sia followed Anne to the kitchen where she was treated to more delicacies. Muffins, tarts, pastries, Anne pulled out all the stops. Sia tried everything with childlike enthusiasm. An hour later, Anne and Sia finally reappeared, both looking incredibly pleased with themselves. Sia had crumbs on her shirt and a satisfied glow, while Anne looked very happy. Leon and Nicholas were seated at the dining table and deep in discussion about some business deal. Leon glanced up and smirked at Sia. “You have been gone so long, I was starting to think Mom adopted you as her official taste-tester.”Sia plopped down beside him while rubbing her full stomach. “If she did, I wouldn’t complain. Your mom is a genius in the kitchen.”Nicholas chuckled, taking a sip of his coffee. “Careful, Sia. She will keep feeding you until you can’t leave.”Anne smiled smugly. “That is the plan.”Leon shook his head, laughing as he reached for a muffin. “Great. Now I’m competing with my ow

Meeting In-laws (4)

Sabrina caught Sia’s eye and with a playful smile, said, “How are you doing, dear?”Sia turned toward her while giving a polite nod. “Hello, Miss Sabrina. It is very nice to see you.”Sabrina raised an eyebrow. “How formal! Come here and hug me.”Sia hesitated for just a moment before stepping forward and hugging Sabrina. It was a bit awkward at first, but soon enough, Sia found herself relaxing in the embrace. They held the hug for a moment, and then Sia pulled back, her smile warm. “How was Africa?”Sabrina smiled back, a faint trace of exhaustion in her eyes. “Tired but very fulfilling.”Sia nodded with a soft smile. “That is good to hear.”Sabrina leaned back with a teasing grin. “Well, I must thank you for taking the worry of our sappy Romeo off our heads,” she said, eyeing Leon with a playful smirk.Leon groaned, rolling his eyes. “Not you too, Sab.”Sabrina huffed dramatically. “What? You were like a sad little boy who got left behind. Finally, I see the old Leon back. You were

Ugly Charlotte

Ellora watched Charlotte with dreamy eyes as the latter adjusted the hem of her elegant white dress while preparing to leave. “Sia, I was just telling Charlotte how amazing her new hairstyle suits her,” she said with enthusiasm, glancing at the brown waves that framed Charlotte’s face perfectly. “What do you think?”Sia’s gaze swept over her best friend, noting every detail, the wavy, shoulder-length hair left loose, the subtle but striking lipstick, the dress that accentuated her figure, and the pair of graceful heels replacing her usual boots.Before Sia could respond, Abella clapped her hands together and exclaimed, “Coco looks so pretty! Like a princess!”Charlotte grinned at the little one. “Thank you, Belly Bear,” she said, her voice warm and affectionate.Sabrina said with a hint of pride. “My daughter really does look like a princess. I have never seen you dress up like this, Charlotte. Whoever you are meeting must be someone special for you to put in this much effort. Good jo

Hospital (1)

"Where is Leon?" Sia asked, looking around. She hadn’t seen him anywhere, and the evening was settling in. She suddenly realized she had spent the entire day with the Hart family without noticing. She realised that she was worried in vain for meeting his family. This whole trip to his family had calmed her nerves and it had made her so sure about their relationship. It felt so good to know that the man she loved a lot, and his family loved her too. They were very supportive of their relationship and what more could she ask for? Ellora smiled kindly. "Oh, his father and grandfather dragged him off with them. He wanted to tell you himself, but I said I would let you know.""Oh," Sia replied, nodding quietly.Ellora gave her a curious look. "Is everything okay?"Sia hesitated for a moment. "Actually, I wanted to visit Mr. Cooper, the man who hit my car. He is in the hospital. I sent my driver home because Leon said he would drive me there."Anne jumped in before Ellora could respond. "T

Hospital (2)

Anne and Sia exchanged a knowing glance before heading out for the hospital. Once they were in the car, Sia’s expression grew serious. "Ma, I’m really worried about Rhys."Anne raised an eyebrow, curious. "Why?"Sia let out a sigh, her worry evident in her voice. "He is spoiled, but that’s okay because he is not a brat. He is respectful, but his nonchalant attitude is going to get him into trouble one day. He is just never stressed. I mean, I try to give him tough work, hoping he will learn to take things seriously, but he never does... And don’t get me started on his womanising. I banned office romance in my company the day he joined."Anne knew what Sia was saying. Among Rhys all the habits, she did not like that he always had multiple girlfriends each month. It was as if he had no respect for the emotion named love. She wanted to sit with him and have a talk about the relationship. But each time, he would deduce what she was going to talk about, he would use just any opportunity an

Hospital (3)

When they arrived at the hospital, Sia asked, “Ma, would you like to come with me or wait in the car?”Anne responded with a smile, “I will join you.”The two of them walked toward the ward where Mr. Cooper was admitted. As they approached, Sia noticed Nash sitting alone in the waiting room. The cold winter air had set in yet Nash wore nothing but a worn-out T-shirt and plain old jeans. He was visibly shivering but showed no intention of moving from his spot. The boy loved his father too much that he would rather freeze to death than leave his old and sick dad. Sia walked up to him and greeted him. “Hey, Nash.”Nash looked up, his brows furrowing. “Miss Swift, what are you doing here?”Last night, he googled Alessia Swift and found out that she was a billionaire and a business woman. She was known for her foul personality but he did not feel that she was having any foul personality, just too stubborn. Feigning offence, Sia said, “Oh, I thought you would be happy to see me.”“Why wou

Hospital (4)

Anne said gently, “You’re cold.” She turned to the guard who had been following them and handed him her black card which she retrieved from her handbag. “Go and get some warm clothes for the boy. It is far too cold in this hospital for him to be sitting here like this.”She noticed that the boy was very cold. If he did not take care of himself now, he would fall sick. She did not want such a good-natured kid to be wronged. He was merely taking care of his father. If he fell sick, nobody would be there to take care of him. And something was telling him that he would not even accept help if he fell sick. Nash quickly shook his head. “I don’t want anything,” he said firmly.Sia added with a knowing smile. “Ma, Nash is a very proud boy. He doesn’t accept anything from anyone. He didn’t even let me compensate his family after the accident.”Anne looked at Nash with understanding in her eyes. “I know. Being prideful and principled isn’t a bad thing. It is admirable to have strong values a

Drunk and Love

Sia looked at Anne in surprise, “Ma, you solved my problem in seconds. How did you do that?”Anne smiled warmly while her eyes twinkled with the wisdom of years spent working out the chaos of motherhood. She said, “I raised five of the most difficult kids you can imagine. I picked up a thing or two along the way.”Sia chuckled, admiring Anne’s ability to handle this situation with ease. She then straightened, her expression turning serious. “I will go and see Mr. Cooper now. Do you want to come with me?”Anne nodded, about to follow her, but just as she reached for the door, her phone rang. Nicholas’s name flashed on the screen, and Anne’s face subtly shifted. She recognized the signs as she already knew that her husband was drunk. Knowing it would be a long and drawn-out conversation, she gave a knowing sigh, gesturing for Sia to go ahead.“You go on. I will handle him,” she said with a wave.Sia hesitated, she stepped into the other room. She found Mr. Cooper was lying on the bed,

Blood donation

Before Sia could respond, the door to the room opened, and the doctor stepped in. “Miss Swift, Mr. Cooper is having internal bleeding. We didn’t catch it earlier. He has lost a significant amount of blood. We need to start a transfusion immediately, but…” The doctor paused, glancing at his clipboard. "His blood type is rare. We don’t have it in our bank."Leon looked between the doctor and Sia, "What can we do?" he asked.The doctor shook his head, his eyes troubled. "We will try contacting other hospitals, but it could take time. In the meantime, we need to act fast." Sia’s mind raced. Nash wasn’t here, Anne was dealing with Nicholas, and now Mr. Cooper’s life was hanging in the balance. “I will see what I can do,” she said quietly. Leon placed a hand on her arm. "I will help. We will figure this out together."Sia nodded. Time was running out, and they needed a solution fast. Sia’s mind raced as she processed the doctor’s words. “What is his blood type?” she asked, her voice ti

Repayment again

Charlotte was silent for a beat, and then, in a serious tone, she said, "Okay, I will be there."Sia’s mind was swirling. She could hardly keep up with what was going on. There was something urgent and personal about Leon’s interactions, but she couldn’t bring herself to ask him any questions. Five minutes later, the sound of a helicopter was heard. Nash rushed toward Sia, his steps frantic, his face pale with worry. As soon as he saw her, his voice cracked. "Miss Swift, what happened to my dad?"Sia looked at him and tried to say in the calm tone, "Nash, please don’t worry. Everything will be okay. Your dad will be fine."He shook his head, his voice trembling. "But what happened?"Sia took a deep breath and said. "Your dad lost a lot of blood, and he needed a blood transfusion."Nash’s face tightened with the realisation. "But the hospital doesn’t have his blood type. I inquired yesterday…"Sia’s eyes softened as she reassured him. "Don’t worry. Everything is taken care of. We go
