“Team A on the left side and Team B on the right side” Alice calls out, purposely separating people from their partners as she also ensures that each team is made up of men and women.Clark ends up on team A therefore making me on Team B, “we are going to crush you” I say, putting on my game face. He smiles, “it’s on. Don’t worry when you lose I’ll buy you ice cream to make you feel better” he retorts.“That’s the spirit” Alice says, chuckling. “For our first challenge we are going to be participating in an obstacle challenge. Each team has to select two people to represent them. The selected persons are expected to run through the track field whilst avoiding the moving cones, climb the net in the middle of the field and pass over it and lastly shoot down the 5 toy bears before running to cross the finish line” she says.“So who’s ready” she yells, causing the crowd to erupt into loud shouts, “we are”. She smiles, “I’ll give each team five minutes to decide who should represent them f

My alarm rings by 4:30pm, reminding Clark and I that we have 30 minutes to freshen up before conveying downstairs for dinner. “Clark” I say softly, gently tapping him.“Yeah, is it time to go?” He mumbles sleepily. I nod, “yeah, we have about thirty minutes to freshen up and get ready” I say, attempting to pull him up, though that doesn’t work.“I’m up” he chuckles, sitting up. “Do you want to take a shower, I already did?” I ask, packing my hair in a bun. He nods, “yeah, a cold shower will do me good at the moment” he says, standing to his feet.“You’re wearing the black gown I chose, you look good” he comments, before entering the bathroom.Clark exits the bathroom wearing a black top paired with white shorts, “that was quick” I say, turning to face him. He smiles, “I just needed to take a shower, nothing much”.“You really meant it when you said we were going to match throughout this outing” I chuckle, shaking my head. He chuckles, “it’s something I’ve always wanted to do with my w

“Alice” I call out from my office in extreme pain while clutching my stomach. “Yes Lara, you called?” She says, walking into the room.“Are you fine?” She asks, running towards me. I shake my head, “not really, I feel like throwing up and I’m experiencing terrible stomach pain” I say, still clutching my stomach.“Can you ask my driver to bring the car to the entrance and also cancel my meetings for the rest of the day” I say. She nods, “noted, I’m on it” she says, running out of the room to inform the driver.“He’s ready with the car parked at the entrance” she says, rushing into my office. “Thanks” I say, faltering as I stand to my feet. “Do I need to call the doctor to give you a visit at home?” she asks worriedly, as she holds onto me to keep me stable.I shake my head, “I’m fine, I probably just need to get some rest” I reply with a weak smile. She nods, “I’ll hold you till you get to your car” she says, holding on to me.I shake my head, “I might not feel good, but I’m pretty sur

“The results from the tests we ran show that you have appendicitis” the doctor says, as Clark clutches my hand, softly squeezing my hand with his attention fixated on the doctor.“We have scheduled your surgery for tomorrow afternoon by one pm. You won’t be able to eat any type of food during that time, but we’ll give you drips that’ll keep you strong and fed” he explains.“We’ve also given you some drugs to help reduce the pain. There’s a button on the bed handle that you can press whenever you seek assistance” he says, pointing to a red button on the handle of my bed.“Mr Clark, please could you come with me to sign some paperwork?” The doctor asks. Clark nods, “I’ll be back very soon” he says, placing a kiss on my head before leaving with the doctor.True to his word, Clark returns to the room in twenty minutes time. “Are you feeling better?” He asks, settling on the chair by my bedside. I nod, “I’m feeling way better than before” I respond, smiling weakly as I turn to face him.“P

“Hey baby girl” mom says, running her hands through my hair. “How long have I been asleep?” I ask, searching the room for Clark, “and where’s Clark?”She smiles, “you have been sleeping for six hours since the surgery was done. Clark went to sort some things at the office, he’ll be back soon” she says.“How are you feeling?” She asks, I smile, “better than before and grateful that the surgery was successful” I say, gently squeezing her hands.“Hi darling” I hear Jane say as mum steps away to reveal Jane holding a bouquet of flowers. “This is for you” she says, arranging the flowers in a vase before coming to give me a hug.“You gave us quite a scare but I’m glad you’re doing better. The doctor says you’ll be able to go home in about two days if you recuperate well” she says.I smile, “thank you very much for coming and thank you even more for the flowers. They are very lovely” I say. “Of course, anything for my daughter in law” she says, placing a kiss on my cheeks.“When can I switch

“I can’t believe three months have gone by” Clark says, smiling as he drives to my family home. I nod, “I can’t believe that we’ve been married for roughly four months. It definitely doesn’t feel that way” I say.He chuckles, “that’s definitely because I’m the easiest person to live with” he says. “Of course you are” I reply with a subtle sarcastic tone.“And what’s more exciting is that today is Lai’s wedding. You know my mom is completely over the moon. She finally has her two children married and well settled in their individual homes” I say.“It was so shocking when he told me he proposed to her, after all they only dated for about two months” Clark says, his eyes fixed on the road as he speaks.I smile, “we are definitely not in any capacity to judge them after all we didn’t even date before getting married. I didn’t know anything about your preferences and dislikes and you didn’t know mine” I say.He nods, “yeah you’re right, and it worked out just fine. But I still wished they

I watch as Lai kisses his bride as the officiant declares them husband and wife. “Congratulations brother” Clark says, embracing Lai, “happy married life” he says.“Congratulations brother” I say, pulling him into a hug, “make sure you treat Belle like the queen she is” I whisper in his ears. He nods, “I will treat her no less” he replies, “good” I say, lightly punching him on his arm before turning my attention to Belle.“Congratulations Belle, I’m so happy for you. I wish you both a happy marriage and a home filled with love” I say, embracing her. She smiles, “thank you Lara, maybe our children will be the same age and get to be playmates”.“Yeah” I respond dryly, remembering Clark’s stand on having children. “Let’s not keep you any longer, I’m sure the other guests want to congratulate you” Clark says, escorting me back to our seats.“What’s wrong?” He asks, “nothing, I’m fine” I say, forcing a smile. He shakes his head, “we’ve been married for a while now and I can definitely tell

“What is going on here?” Clark asks, “Why are you here with him?” He asks, clearly upset. I can tell from his tone that he's not letting out half of his anger towards me.“Oh hi Clark” I say, standing to my feet, “this is Jordan, a friend of mine” I say, introducing them. “Nice to meet you” Jordan says, extending his hands.“That doesn’t answer my question” Clark says, ignoring Jordan’s hands. “It wasn’t planned. I heard someone crying and I came to check it out. Coincidentally it turned out to be Lara, I’ll give you both some space to talk” he says.“Bye Lara” he says, walking away, “bye, thanks for this evening” I say, before returning my attention to Clark. “You’re angry” I say, watching him closely, “what makes you think that” he replies, folding his arms across his chest.I wince, “your tone and body language show that your are angry even though you’re trying so hard not to show it” I reply, sitting on the bench. “And do I have a good reason to be?” He asks, calmly watching me.I

A month has passed by and things have been really peaceful between Clark and I. We have fallen into a routine and quickly adapted to each other without peering too much into each other's life but still ensuring that we show care for each other.It's Friday and it’s Lai’s birthday. We are celebrating at the LaiLa Hotel named after Lai and I which was recently built by my parents. My parents have decided to expand their business by going beyond the online gaming industry and diving into the hotel management business.This development led to Lai handing in his resignation letter due to my parents' pressure. As the only son, my traditional parents believe that it’s time for him to run the company that will be handed over to him, which is why I’m glad I started my business long ago.Thankfully Lai won’t be leaving immediately as he has given Clark a two months resignation notice, giving Clark sufficient time to hire a new personal assistant depending on how finicky he is.I head down to Cl

“Happy birthday Lai” I say, embracing my brother in a hug before placing a kiss on his cheek. “This is for you” I say, handing him his gift. “Thank you Lara” he says, smiling.“Happy birthday bro” Clark says, pulling Lai into a hug. “Many more years of celebration” he says, before releasing him from his grasp. “This is a nice way to celebrate your birthday” Clark states, looking around the hotel.Lai chuckles, “yeah mom wanted us to celebrate here before the grand opening of the hotel”. I shake my head, “well how great it must be to be the favourite child” I joke.Lai rolls his eyes, “it’s a wonderful experience” he retorts, laughing. “Where is Belle?” I ask, looking around the room.“She’s making arrangements in the dining room where the party will be holding” he says, with a smile. “And here I thought we will be celebrating in the entire hotel” I joke walking towards the dining room as I leave Clark and Lai behind.“Hey sister” Belle says, running over to me. “Hi Belle” I say, pulli
