“What do you mean by she was the one who told you to stay back? Why would she want to be in the house all alone?” Derek asked the woman.“We were all at the party together, sir. She wasn’t feeling too well and asked the driver to take her home. I offered to come home with her, or at least send someone along with her, but she vehemently refused and asked us to stay back since she was capable of looking after herself. If we had known that it was this bad …” The woman trailed off, wringing her hands worriedly.“Alright, alright. That’s fine.” Derek told her.Not long after, he went home to have a much needed shower and rest. Then later in the evening, he went back to the hospital to see how Ava was faring.She had been stabilized, which was such a big relief to him and everyone. She spent a total of ten days in the hospital before she was discharged. By this time, she had found out about the loss of the baby and was inconsolable. Now that she was better, Derek too was feeling the sadnes

Strained

Derek took a deep breath and slowly let it out before replying.“Ava, I don’t think that that’s a good idea … at least not now. First of all, it’s way too early to start trying for a baby so soon after the miscarriage. Also, I don’t want to have kids right now, and even if I do want them later on, I’ll most likely adopt them.”“You were happy when I told you that I was pregnant. You wanted the baby that we lost.”“Yes, I did, but remember that we both had no choice really. We did not plan the pregnancy. It just happened, and then it almost took your life. ”“It wasn’t the baby’s fault. These things happen to women more often than you think, and it doesn’t mean that I can't carry a baby to full term. I’ll just be closely monitored this time around.” Ava insisted. “I don’t want a baby,” Derek told her very firmly and watched the hurt enter her eyes.However, he meant what he said and he now realized that it was better to tell her how he felt and what he wanted, rather than to give her

Pulling away

I think we have made a dreadful mistake, Ava. We certainly didn’t think this through before we decided to get married.” Derek told her uneasily.“I didn’t make a mistake, Derek. I wanted to marry you because I loved you, and I still do, so I married you happily. If you think the marriage is a mistake, please speak for yourself.” Ava replied, holding her head high, but she could not keep her chin from trembling and tears from filling her eyes.“I just meant that we clearly want different things, and we did not discuss any of this beforehand.”“I know, but it’s fine. You were optimistic that we could work things out after we got married, but now that we are, you're refusing even to try. It's okay though. Marriage is about compromise. I’m willing to compromise with you and accept your terms. You’re right. Several children who are already in this world need a loving home and we can provide them with that. We’ll start with the adoption process once you're ready.” Ava replied.Derek was dum

Seemingly pissed

It felt like a huge weight had been lifted off Ava’s shoulders. Derek had accepted the news of his daughter quite well, and he was happy to play his fatherly role. What was left now was to tell Harper about who he really was to her, and she did so that very afternoon. She took Harper to her favorite ice cream parlor, where they both got some ice cream. “Harper, I need to tell you something really important.” She told her daughter after they had both devoured their ice cream. “Okay, Mommy,” Harper replied, giving her mother her full attention and looking so serious that Ava burst out laughing for a moment. The girl sometimes acted like one who was much older than her age. “So remember how you said you wanted a daddy?” “Yes, mommy. Are you going to marry Steve so he’ll be my daddy?” Harper asked excitedly. “Calm down, honey. No one talked about marrying Steve, but then, your real daddy wants to meet you.” “Oh … is he nice? Do you think he’ll like me? Do you think he’ll want

Depressed

Amanda had never felt so mad, depressed, and vengeful at the same time in her life. Her mother … the woman who got her like no one else and who tried her best to make sure that that evil beast that Amanda called a brother, didn’t cheat her of what was supposed to be rightfully hers had died trying to save her idiot of a brother. Her mother, Blair hadn't even been buried yet, and yet that asshole had cut off every single benefit that he used to give her before, telling her that he was sure that Blair had left her some substantial amount and that she was to use it in supporting herself the way she saw fit. She had tried to go to his house a few days after he got back from the hospital to apologize for her behavior at the hospital the other day, but the worthless security men who manned his gates refused to allow her entry onto his property. It wasn’t even like she actually had anything to be sorry about, after all, it was true that it was his fault that their mother was dead. If he ha

Visitor

Less than an hour later, Amanda was sitting in Denise’s living room and looking around the place in awe and a little envy, while sipping a glass of whiskey which she had helped herself to without asking for permission first.“This place is big and quite nice. How on earth were you able to afford to buy this house on such short notice?”“Well, I work and I have savings too, you know.”“I know that, but for you to have been able to afford this house just like that, your savings just won't cut it.”“Is that what you wanted to see me about? To quiz the shit out of me about my house or try to find out how much I have in my bank account? If you did not gamble away every cent that came into your hands, then maybe you would have known that it is indeed possible to save up to buy something as important as your own house, especially if you weren't fortunate enough to have rich parents who bought you everything under the sun once you asked them for it.” Denise said angrily.She hadn't really mea

The end of an era

“So he didn’t react to the fact that you’ve been lying to and deceiving him all these years?” Amanda asked in disbelief after she had overcome her shock.“No, he didn’t. You know Derek and how soft he is, even though he pretends to be all hard and macho. He already has a soft spot for Barry and the boy is going to die any moment from now, so he doesn’t want him to spend his last days worrying why his favorite person abandoned him. Talk about a softie! He did ask me to leave his house though, which was why I got this one next to him because if I plan on getting him back, I need to be close to him.”“I get that you think that you’ve somehow managed to solve all your problems, but you're forgetting something, aren't you?”“What’s that?”“What do you intend to do about Ava and her daughter?” Amanda asked, but somehow, she already guessed what the answer to that question would be.“Nothing at all. Derek’s a billionaire. He has more than enough money to go around and last a few generations

Friendship

Denise actually indeed had somewhere to be as she told Amanda, and once she was certain that Amanda had been kicked off her premises, she headed there in her car, her heart beating as she hoped to high heavens that the purpose of her outing was going to be fruitful. Amanda hadn't always been this way. In fact, once upon a time, Denise was the one who used to look up to her and want to be like her. Back then, Amanda was fit, beautiful, and rich as hell, so who wouldn’t want to be like her? It didn’t matter that she was three years older than Denise was because she was fun-loving, just as Denise was, and was also quite laid-back, although she was also quite bossy. The two women had met in one of the classes that they usually had together and Amanda had been the one to speak to Denise first. Denise still remembered that day very well. BACK IN THE DAY (COLLEGE DAYS) “Hey, do you happen to have a spare pen that you could lend me?” The person beside Denise asked. Denise looked over to s

Budding friendship

As far as Denise was concerned, she had hit solid gold and she wasn't about to let go. She and Amanda became inseparable, although Amanda’s friendship was a bit overbearing and stifling.For starters, she did not want Denise to have any other friends, or even talk to anyone else in their class or anywhere else. It was like being with a toxic and extremely jealous partner.Also, Amanda expected Denise to be at her beck and call at all times, regardless of whatever else she had going on. She was the obsessive kind of friend.At first, Denise did not care for this sort of behavior and blatantly told Amanda so, whereupon they got into a huge fight during which they said some really mean things to each other.After that, they did not talk to each other for a whole week, even though they still attended some classes together. Whenever their paths crossed, they simply acted as though they did not know each other.In the span of that week, Denise had to go back to eating ramen noodles and cheap

The awkward meeting

On that day, Denise had just come back from the gym and was taking a much-needed shower when she thought that she heard a sound in the house, which was supposed to be empty, except for her.Terrified, she paused her shower and listened carefully, trying to remember if she had locked the door when she came into the house earlier.The sound she had heard came again, louder this time, nearly causing her heart to stop in her chest. It was the sound of heavy footsteps and they were moving very leisurely around the house.She could quite vividly remember locking the door, so how come someone was in the house? Without waiting to ponder on the answer to that question, she quickly grabbed a towel and wrapped it around herself, then got out of the bathroom as quietly as she could.She grabbed a baseball bat that she had never seen Amanda use but reckoned that it belonged to Amanda's brother, and tiptoed around the house searching for the intruder.She found him … or rather, nearly ran into him
