As expected, things were a bit awkward after the kiss. Bea was not sure what to think or believe but things were not going according to her plan, she was getting too close to him. Bea did not expect Tommy to maltreat her or her child, but then again, she didn’t expect him to be so courteous and such a gentleman.It seemed that his anger with her ended after the dinner at Kristen’s house. After kissing her that morning, he promptly apologized and left her to enjoy her breakfast alone. Bea wanted to tell him that she didn’t want his apology that she wanted him to keep on kissing her, but she killed the thoughts as soon as they surfaced. After brushing her teeth, she sat on her bed and enjoyed the scrumptious breakfast.She took her bath and wore her clothes from the previous night before she went out to the living room again. Tommy was looking as handsome and rugged as ever. He was wearing a black short sleeve tee that showed his tattoos and accentuated his muscles. He stood up from the

"You want me to do what?” Bea shouted. She could not believe Tommy. There was absolutely no way that she was hearing him correctly.“I want you to stay in my place until the baby is born,” Tommy repeated, he didn’t sound like he was joking at all.“I know you don’t want to get married and it was too rash for me to have asked you without thinking, but you have denied me almost nine months of knowing of my child’s existence. I don’t want to spend another minute being away from him or her,” Tommy continued and Bea stared harder at him.Surely he had gone mad. A few hours ago, she could vividly recall that he was pissed at her, and now he wanted them to live together.“No,” she said and tried to sit up from the bed, she could not be around him at the moment. Standing up was a bit uncomfortable, given the fact that she was still tired and her stomach was bigger than a watermelon. Tommy gave her a see what I am talking about look and helped to sit up. She hated to think that she actually ne

"Uhh, it’s almost Christmas. I can’t wait to go shopping and to decorate,” Kristen squealed and Bea rolled her eyes, she was a bit cranky and uncomfortable, but nothing could kill her joy, her baby was almost here.After the bad breakup with Tommy in April, Bea had found out that she was pregnant. She was happy, ecstatic, but she was scared of what Tommy would do when he found out. She was still nursing heartbreak then but she comforted herself with fact that she finally going to get her wish, a baby. It gave her even more joy that her love would arrive just in time for Christmas. It seemed like there was no cause for alarm as Tommy seemed to have disappeared, gone off the face of the earth. No one was in contact with him.Bea was grateful that she had not met his family before the breakup as they would have deduced that she was carrying Tommy’s child. Even Kristen didn’t know that it was Thomas’ baby that was carrying. Because she has such a strong relationship with Tommy, Bea lied t

Bea felt frustrated, angry, depressed and most of all, lonely. She could be called a big lair, if she said she wasn’t jealous of her very best friend and the fact that she had found her happily ever after. She wanted a baby.For as long as she could remember, Bea had always wanted a child. She had always wanted a little bundle of joy that she could call hers, she wanted to be able to carry a child and know that the little being was dependent on her, she wanted a child that she would watch grow, one that would swell in her stomach. She longed for a kick of a child and then the birth, oh the birth. She would be a fool to think that it didn’t hurt, she knew it did. Her best friend, Kristen just had her first child, Alexandria and had let Bea know how dreadful child birth could be. Nevertheless, Bea wanted a child, no matter how painful it was.Bea adored her niece, Alexi, she did. At six months, she was already looking so much like her mother, brown hair and brown eyes. Bea still wanted

Adrian was scared. Even though his brother tried to calm him down he could not help it, Kristen was fighting for her life and he couldn’t do anything to help her, he was just the bastard that got her pregnant. The fact that his mother had died during childbirth still haunted him, he was scared that Kristen would die through that very way. “Calm down Adrian,” Thomas said, placing his hand on his shoulder. Adrian gave his brother the stink eye and his brother promptly removed his arm. “She will be fine,” he continued. Adrian did not have the strength or even the patience to listen to his younger brother; he just ignored him and continued pacing the hospital corridors. “Mr Tremont,” the doctor called. Adrian’s heart immediately stood still. He was sure his heart stopped beating. He looked into the doctor’s eyes and searched for anything that vaguely resembled sadness or even pity, he found none. “Your give has delivered a baby boy, both mother and wife are fine,” the doctor said and A

Or Wedding BellsKatrina felt something undeniably wet on her face, she settled back, her eyes still covered with the daze of sleep and made herself comfortable on the bed. As she was going back to the land of sleep, the wet substance rubbed her face again, this time it was accompanied by something soft."Skippy, will you stop?" She exclaimed, holding her little dog and carrying her from her face where she seemed to contently licking. Yes, yes, Katrina had finally got the dog that she wanted, Skippy was a small white poodle that did not seem to understand that his fur was actually white as he kept on rolling about in any thing dirty and jumping, yipping, basically happily playing, everywhere, with no care that his fur was white, Katrina absolutely loved him."Merry Christmas Sis," her sister shouted from outside her door and Katrina smiled wistfully, it had been one whole year since the last Christmas, which was the most of eventful one of her life and so much had occurred after then.

And a bit of sadness in the mix."Are you not ready yet?" Tanner asked Kat for the umpteenth time."Just a few more minutes," she said yet again, they were getting ready for the New Year's Eve ball, if there was one thing his father was good at, it would be throwing parties, he threw parties for any reason and it all sickened Tanner.For the first time, Tanner was actually willing to attend a party that his father was throwing, his willingness was owned tithe fact that Kat was going to be by his side and also to the fact that he was sporting a new look.He was still mulling in his thoughts when the door to the closet

Is You"So, since Christmas is about sharing of gifts and all, and we are spending the Christmas together, what do you want for Christmas?" She asked when they had finally finished their food and their bellies were full."I think I have already gotten my own Christmas present," Tanner said and Katrina looked at him weirdly, they had been together since Christmas Eve and she was pretty sure that Santa did not sneak into the house in the middle of the night and a plant a gift for Tanner."I am serious Tanner, I actually want to get you a gift and you are rejecting it.""I am also serious, I have already gotten my gift." His conviction made Kat curious, which was quite ironic since curiousity killed the cat, the cat that she sincerely hoped was not her."So, tell me, what did you want for Christmas that you already have?" She asked unable to

Of the YearKatrina put her hand on her waist, tapping her heeled feet on the floor, waiting impatiently for whatever excuse Tanner would have.She did not expect that Tanner would actually tell his father that they were dating and what shocked her the more was the fact that he told his father that he loved her, the mere confession had shocked her to the bone, it was so unexpected that she almost shouting.The only thing that made her to keep her mouth shut was the fact that she knew that it was all a game, a game that she started her self, she wanted to let Ian know that she had moved on but ended up getting herself a brand new father in-law, before she knew it, Luke was taking them around and introducing them as a couple to all of his numerous business partners.By the time the party was over, he was suggesting a romantic getaway, thankfully, Tanner had arrested the situation cl

Or should I say, Deck the HallTanner held his glass of wine tightly in his hand as he viewed the crowd, he had always been wary of these type of parties, the type that had too many people putting on extravagant dresses, overly expensive shawls and suits that cost thousands of dollars, for no other reason than to show off.The type that all they did was to discuss their new club memberships, or the new yatchs or cars they had bought, the new companies they had acquired, for the ladies they new shoes or bags or anything of the sorts.Even if it was a Christmas party, for them it was another chance to dress up, the women were in extravagant white or red dresses, the men in Armani suits, drinking and eating and making new contacts, the only reason why Tanner was there was because of his father.As he had predicted, a day after his mother's death anniversary, the old

Or maybe The First Plane RideTanner took stared openly at the breathtaking woman in front of him. The tall and slim lady was wearing a white coloured jumpsuit that accentuated her curves, her long brown hair fell to her shoulders in waves, she was wearing a bright pink jacket over the jumpsuit and he had stared at her long enough to know that she was not wearing a white shit tucked into a trouser.She had this air of confidence as she walked down the aisle of the plane, it was as though she owned it. Her face was dazzlingly beautiful, the type that you can't just look away from, even as it was scrubbed free of makeup, he could tell that she was somebody that frequently used it.As she clicked her heels down the aisle and passed his side, it seemed like the entire plane was staring at her, and it was clear that she knew, he knew that she loved the attention. He was as flying first class but it could

"I know you don't know much about me, but Jessica is the closest thing I have to a sister, she is family to me," Lloyd started. He was right about one thing, the fact that she didn't know anything about him, Tia might be getting a little bump from his genetic material growing inside her, and he might have saved her from her evil father and ex boyfriend, married her in Vegas and housed her for the past few weeks, but that was pretty much it.There were nights that Tia felt very short-changed. It felt like he knew too much about her, and she knew nothing at all about him. It did not sit well with her, but she needed to see him to ask questions about things like that didn't she? She never saw him, the only way she could get his attention was through Jessica. If she did something that annoyed Jessica, she would call Lloyd immediately and Lloyd would call her, telling her to just let Jessica do anything she wanted to do, and it irked Tia so much."Well she is not your sister is she? It's c

If Tia thought that it would be easy to plan a party she would be very very wrong. It would take her approximately two weeks to eat her words and want to run back to Vegas. Oh she missed Vegas."Ms. Wilson. Why did you pick these flowers they look terrible," Jessica, Lloyd very annoying personal assistant, secretary, secret love interest, whatever she was said, and Tia rolled her eyes at her."It's Mrs. Patterson to you Jessica, and it's my wedding, it's only right that I get to pick the flowers," she said. Jessica scoffed, but Tia already learned in the past few weeks that she would need very tough skin to work with Jessica. She was in fact ready for her. She lived with her step mother, father and three brothers, she was primed for treatment like this. Only that she had thoughts that marrying Lloyd would change this."Well they look terrible Mrs. Patterson. I don't think you understand but Lloyd is a very important man. This party is very important for his political and business care

Tia woke up the next morning with the overwhelming sense of nausea choking her. She immediately rushed to the bathroom to retch and try to get the sensation to go away, but nothing but water come out. She felt a presence behind her. She figured it must be Hera, but as she began to feel the hand on her back, soothing her, it very clear that it was not.“You will be okay, Tia,” Lloyd said, and for some reason, the words angered her. He was the reason why she was here in the first place, what did he mean that she would be okay? Like she did something to deserve this torture.“This is all your fault,” she groaned, and another wave of nausea hit her.“My fault?” Lloyd asked, he was still rubbing circles on my back, but I could feel how tense he had become.“Yes your fault. It’s your fault I now have a baby inside of me. Do you know how it feels?” Tia asked. She could see Lloyd’s reflection in the mirror. He looked like he was counting to ten. She was annoyed that he was seeing her in such

Chapter Twenty One.Tia imagined her wedding day a lot of times. She thought that she would wear a white gown and she will be walking down the aisle with the man of her dreams in a larger than life church that housed a million and one guests, but she would be happy and that would be the best thing that happened to her, it would be the happiest day of her life.Many things about her current wedding were wrong. The first thing was the fact that she was not wearing a gown, but an over sized shirt and a pair of jeans, the second thing was the man, she was not getting married to the man of her dreams, or the man of her nightmares these days, but she was getting married to a man that she barely knew, but at the very least, she was getting married willingly.The third thing that was wrong was the fact that she was about to throw up. She was pregnant, she would have never pregnant in the wedding that she had in her head, but there she was, standing in front of a man that did not look fit to b

Chapter Twenty"Are you taking me to your house?" Tia asked Lloyd as he drove."We are going to Vegas," Lloyd said and Tia looked at him shocked. What the hell was he talking about?"Vegas?" Tia asked and Lloyd nodded."You heard me loud and clear," Lloyd said."But why? What are we going to do there?" Tia asked. It was like she was being thrown from one to another."We are going to get married," Lloyd said."Married?" Tia shouted, she began to shake her head then."I do not want to get married. Why do you think I would want to get married, I was running from another marriage just now!" Tia shouted. She could not deal with all of that, she was just celebrating her escape from her father and William Rowling and now this? "Do you think your father will stop at this? He will try to kidnap you back and have you marry William, he cannot do that if we are already married. Besides, we are having a baby, and who says it has to be forever?" Lloyd asked and Tia looked him she was starting to s

Chapter NINETEEN "I will get her out of that house even if it means I have to kidnap her," Lloyd said when he got to Ian's office. The office looked more like a studio than anything, but Lloyd was not judging, it was the choice of his friend. He liked the entertainment world more than the business world."You will probably have to kidnap her, my stepfather will not let her go easily," Ian said and Lloyd nodded. He was regretting going to the office to see him at all, he probably put Tia in even more danger."If that is what I need to do, then I will do it," Lloyd said."Has anyone heard from Tia? We will need her insight on how to get her out," Lloyd said and Ian shook his head."I can help with that insight. From what I know and I have heard. My stepfather locked her inside her room and took away her communication devices yesterday. He is going to make a move very soon. We have to move with him," Ian said and Lloyd nodded."You need to help me, please. Please go to the house and se
