Hayley''Are you sure that he's not up to something?'' Amber asked me. I just finished telling her about the conversation I had with Kyle.''Why would he be up to something?'' I replied. I knew how much Amber disliked Kyle because of how our marriage went sideways. Kyle also barely tolerated her when we were together. Though I had told her that I was also at fault since I married him knowing that he was in love with another woman.''Don't you dare support him, Hayley. You didn't deserve how he treated you.'' I looked t her more closely. She had tears in her eyes, which was strange for Amber.''This isn't about what we are talking about. What happened Amber?'' She burst into tears stunning me. Amber never cried, okay she did but hardly. I could count the number of times that Amber had cried on one hand.''Amber what's going on? You are scaring me.'' For real, she was scaring me. She didn't answer but simply laid her head sobbing on my chest.''I.. I. Why can't my life be normal? Why,,

KyleWhy do I think that Hayley to say something else when I called her two days ago, after she dropped a message for me.More like her PA did that. Why didn't she just call my personal phone?And the little misunderstanding about her checking out Hunter. Why that didn't sit well with me, I don't know. She was free to do whatever she wanted as I am.''Everything alright dude?'' Hunter tapped on my shoulder jolting me from my thoughts.''Yeah, I'm good.'' I nodded looking at him strangely. Does she find Hunter attractive?Even though she said that she didn't mean it that way. But I couldn't help but wonder if she was just trying not to offend me.''Dude, why are you looking at our homeboy like that?'' Freddie chuckled when I threw a glare at him. I still couldn't get the thought of Hayley liking Hunter out of my head.They would be perfect for each other, even their names start with the same letter 'H'.I did the unthinkable and asked a totally stupid question.''Hunter, what do you th

HayleyToday was the day we were heading to Wynter and Autumn potential school. I had to take the day off from work, also did Kyle. Kyle was coming along with us sure to put in a united front to the proprietress of the school. So we were all leaving in his car. And that was going to be easier since he had baby seats too.It was a prestigious Prep school for kindergarten children, one of the best in New York city. Also it was hard to get in, and they even had a waiting list for a new session. Thankfully, Kyle's mom knew the proprietress and has put in a good word for us.''Okay, Wynter come here.'' I called for him. I had been struggling with helping him put on his jacket. The weather today was chill and I needed them to be extremely covered.''Mama, no.'' He shook his little head making me bite in laughter. Not today little man, Kyle would be here soon and the last thing I wanted was for us to run late. And as I had learnt consistently from my job, first impression always matters.''W

HayleyI was in my office currently working on a project when I suddenly remembered that I was supposed to step out and get some books for the kids. Looking at my wrist-watch, I saw that it was almost time for lunch."Mary, can you please cut off all appointments later for this afternoon? I will be stepping out this afternoon to get some things from the bookstore." I told her through the intercom."Sure ma'am but you are supposed to have a meeting with Mr Sterling at two O'clock. Should I reschedule it?" Damn I totally forgot that I had a meeting with him. Mr Sterling was one of my top clients and had been with me for seven years. I possibly couldn't reschedule our meeting."Yes, do that please. And move any other appointments to tomorrow." I was sure that I wasn't going to be coming back on time."Okay ma'am, is that all? Would you like to add anything else?""No, that would be all Mary. Thank you." After I clicked off the intercom, I closed all applications on my PC and set it to sl
