Everything he planned fell apart all at one time. It wasn’t supposed to end that way. They still had to watch the full moon tonight at the dock. Then it went all sideways.Now his best friend was yelling into his ear about something he couldn’t fully understand.“Calm the fuck down. Are you drunk? What’s with the yelling, Kayden? Did someone just steal your candies?”“You lied to me! You betrayed me, Wrylee. Again, you did something behind my back!”“I’m afraid I don’t know what you’re talking about, man. Look.” He sagged. He had a lot on his plate right now to deal with Kayden’s tantrum. He was sure Kayden would understand if he let him explain. “I have troubles here, and I’m running out of time, Kayd. Can we talk about whatever shit you have right now later? My— I’ll call you—”“Don’t you get it, motherfucker? This is your fucking shit! This isn’t mine, you, son of a bitch.” He was really pissed off.If Kayden was in front of him right now, he might have punched him already to show

The second he stepped inside the house, Charleigh knew something was wrong. Her shoulders sagged as she closed their distance and pulled her brother into a hug.“I can see it didn’t go as we planned.” She rubbed his back, and he closed his eyes as he felt he didn’t have the strength to even nod. “What’s wrong, Tripp?”He shook my head, tears blurring his sight. “Everything is wrong, Charleigh. Everything is fucking wrong. Ari left me. Dad betrayed me. My position in the firm is in jeopardy. Everything fell apart in one day. Can you fucking believe that? And I didn’t even know what I am still doing here?”Charleigh pulled away and looked at his brother with sympathy. “You and Ari have something that even the end of the world couldn’t break to pieces. That’s why you are still here. Trust me, I saw how she looked at you. She loves you, Tripp. What did go wrong?”“Her father came to the cabin.”Her eyes widened in shock. “How? Nobody knew you went there. I didn’t even tell Clary about it.

They said people got drunk when they had problems because they were not mature enough to handle many life situations. It was a way for them to escape—to escape from pain, and stress, and they found comfort in alcohol. That might be true with his pain because he couldn’t bear it alone. He needed solace that only alcohol was available at this moment.He was on his third shot of Old Fashioned when a familiar face slid to the stool beside him. She was familiar, yeah, but he couldn’t pinpoint where he met the attractive woman.She beamed at him, spreading those bright red lips, and even in his state, she also recognized him. Did they happen to sleep together? He tipped his glass and pursed his lips to acknowledge the woman in a white dress.“Martini, please? With three olives,” she ordered to the bartender, then faced Tripp and crossed her legs, showing off the long and toned legs and thighs.Tripp didn’t even look down. He downed his drink in a gulp before he slid off the stool. He pulled

Her heart was breaking. It had been three days since her father had given her the cold shoulder. She asked for forgiveness and apologized every darn time they shared a meal, and all she got was a silent treatment.“Dad, if you keep on doing this, I better go back to my house.”“And be with that man?” Finally, he met her gaze. The anger was still brewing in his eyes.She made a mistake by lying to him, and that made him madder. He said she could marry any man of her choice for as long he would treat her the way she deserved. Then when she mentioned Tripp, that was when he blew a fuse.“He’s not there anymore.”He snarled. “Can’t you see? It’s clearer than the sky, Ari. He left again. Only a fool will believe and trust in his words. He didn’t care about you the first time and he doesn’t care about it for the second time. He’s probably in bed with different women as we speak.”“Dad, stop it. You don’t know that.” Her eyes started to sting. She could not stand the thought of Tripp sleepin

Tripp was in the middle of a beautiful dream. He was about to come while his wife was giving the best blowjob of all the blowjobs. In his dream, they were in their new home, yet he felt so cold. Then those images just slipped away.What the fuck? He groaned loudly and irritably when he felt something was pulling his foot.Was it Sunday today?It didn’t end there. Tripp felt another soft nudge on his leg that annoyed him further. He’d better be sleeping than drowning himself with alcohol, and then he would lose his sanity in the end.“Get the fuck away from me!” he yelled to whoever tried to wake him up. A cleaning service? How did they even get inside his apartment, let alone in his room? “Fuck off!” His groggy echoed.“You shouldn’t be saying that.” He heard a little and sweet voice that made him still and quiet.“And why the fuck not? This is my apart—”“You said it again.” That voice sang. “That’s not nice to say to a pretty girl like me, you know.”Tripp was already wide awake. H

They walked out of the bedroom showered and dressed, but he didn’t bother shaving off his more than a week stubble.“I drank your juice. That’s the only edible you have there. When was the last time you went to the grocery, uncle?”“I don’t do my grocery, darling. I order online.”“Wow. That must be cool.” She looked impressed.He sat beside her and pulled her into a hug. She wrapped her little arms around his neck and mumbled, “Everything will be okay, uncle.”“I hope you’re right, kiddo.”“Tell you what.” She sat back to her space and looked at Tripp. “When my dad was brokenhearted because of Mom, he kept staring at the ceiling and beyond our windows, and it made me sad because I knew they loved each other. Dad didn’t give up, you know. You should do the same. One messed up is not the end of the world. You’re a big guy. You should know that already.” She sighed deeply. Her shoulders sagged as if she was carrying the burdens of millions of people in the city.Tripp kept on listening.

Tripp and Clary were lying down on the furry carpet in his apartment living room. Nashville laughed every time Tripp lifted him in the air, his sweet angel voice echoing in the entire space.When he was alone, he looked around and saw nothing but a luxury apartment without a soul. One time, he went home drunk, and he swore as if he’d seen his future having a happy family, and that somehow gave him hope.“You’re so good at this,” Clary commented with the puffy stuffed bear.He tipped his head to Clary’s side. “Good at what?” Nashville started to shove his teether into his mouth, biting the rubbery stuff.“At babies.”He knew what she meant. Before he went to that town for the first time, he never wanted to get involved with women, let alone think of having a family very soon.He failed to be a husband once because he was too focused on creating his own name and empire. Now that he tasted the feeling of being a married man, all he wanted was to live with it and be the good husband women

Tripp turned around, and crossed his arms over his chest, his fingers trembling. “You know what that means. I don’t wanna talk to you. You didn’t give me a fucking chance to explain. Now, I don’t give a shit if you blow off my phone with your calls. It won’t change the fact that you never trusted me as your best friend, your colleague, and your co-founder. “We’ve been through hell together, and then all of a sudden, in just one lie, you humiliated me, you degraded me, and you threw away the relationship we built for years. You broke me, Kayden. Now tell me why should I still give a fuck and talk to you?”“Because I am your brother.”He snorted mockingly, his brow lifting. “Are you?”“Yes. We are brothers. We may not share the blood running through our veins, but what we have is more than the fucking DNA, and you know that!”“Yet, you did not trust me. How convenient?” He turned around and shoved his hands into his pockets.“I went to your father,” Kayden said regrettably. His voice d

Ari had another argument before she went home against her father.She was in the middle of folding her laundry when her father appeared. She thought he would never talk to her again after she left his house, but then he was just trying to be a father.“He didn’t call you back, did he? He didn’t have the balls.” He remained at the door.“Then you get what you want, Dad.” She folded messily just to make herself busy. The topic of Tripp was like a broken record, and she just lost her hope which made her sadder.“If he cares about you.”She dropped the basket on the floor harshly. “You might be right after all. Congratulations.” She stood up, went to the laundry room, and grabbed another set of her cleaned laundry.Tripp stopped calling her a few days ago. She thought he was over and gave up. She hadn’t heard anything from Charleigh when she went to see her brother.“All I want is for you to be happy.” He followed her.She could feel the guilt and sadness in his voice, but even so, it was

Her eyes widened, wiped her tears messily, and she shook her head. “No, no, no. I’m not gonna let you sell that house. That’s Mom and yours, Dad. And where are you gonna live?”“I’m already canvassing a trailer.”“What the hell? I am not gonna let you live in a trailer, Dad. I am planning on calling a real estate representative for this house. Unless you wanna stay here. That would be fine by me, but selling that house where we have so many best memories, no. I’m not letting you do that.” She looked down. “Anyway, I am not sure if I will pass the interview. It’s getting trickier, Dad. I don’t want to disappoint you.”“I know you would ace it. Just believe in yourself, Ari.”“If ever I pass, I’ll apply for a student loan while the house is on sale.”“You thought about this thoroughly, huh?” He smiled at her, pride glittering in his eyes.She smiled back. “This is Mom’s dream. And since I was a kid, I always wanted to be an Orthopedic.”“And Ari, I think you should call your husband.”*
