Riley spent the night mostly thinking about her father’s words about moving back to Italy. Did she really want to go back? That was all she thought throughout the night. She tossed and turned around in the bed continuously and barely got 5 hours of sleep.
She was getting ready in her room while also hearing her parents bicker about what to wear and where all to go. Earlier, when she was having her morning coffee, her parents informed her that they were going for a date and she should not call them and disturb them. She had snorted as a reaction. Her parents were going out on a proper date probably for the first time in their entire relationship. She replied to them, “Fine, go on. I will go on a date by myself.”
A few days laterJordan wakes up groaning with pain. She feels wet down there, a different kind of wet. She held onto her baby bump and called her husband’s name who was fast asleep.“Adrian, Adrian,” her voice was pretty hoarse. She shook his shoulder and called again with a louder voice, “Adrian.”He opened his eyes, “What happened sweetheart?”“My... ““What is it, J? You are scaring me,” by now, he had got up and sat at her side.“My water broke,” she whispered. Adrian got into action immediately, he got of

Her mother had noticed this but had refrained from saying anything.Again, this morning, Riley was vomiting when Giorgia came to her room. She helped her daughter to clean up and then lie down on the bed.“I think you should visit a doctor. This is going extreme,” Gi
It was the weekend and everyone, Adrian and Jordan’s family, Michael and Riley’s family were gathered at Michael’s house. It was more like Michael had invited everyone to speak about something important. Everyone’s first thoughts were him and Riley getting together but was also curious to know it from him.Aaron was playing with a videogame while the elders were busy looking at the little princess, Amity Marcel. She was one month old and had relatively grown a little since her birth. Now, she was able to recognize people by their faces. And she could coo louder than before which had effects on everyone, especially her father. Adrian was totally smitten by his daughter. He was always by her side. He had even
4 years laterThe mansion was lit up with bright and colorful lights. And was decorated with all the kids’ friendly things. Several cars were coming inside the gate one by one. It was Whitaker’s house.Aaron got off the car and helped his sister, Amity get off. He was 10 years old now and his sister was 4. They were not super close siblings but they did share a cute sibling bond. Upon Adrian’s over pamper, Amity got her way through with almost everything. Despite groaning and complaining, Aaron still loved his little sister and did anything and everything for her.
Adrian left out a huge sigh as he sat on the chair and stared at his empty apartment. For more than 6 years this place had been his home. He had brought it in his last year of college, half savings and half borrowed from his father though. The sole aim of buying this apartment was to make a home for his girlfriend and then who became his wife. The relationship was short-lived after their marriage and had their little boy. She left him. Period. Adrian wasn’t ready to share that part of his life with anyone. Except for his parents and his younger sister, Sophie, nobody knows about that aspect of his life. For all he says to people when he is asked about his son’s mother, he just told them she is not in the picture.His 2-year-old son, Aaron wa
Jordan and Harley reached home and Harley carried the grocery bag inside. Jordan followed him behind. Elena, their mother was watching TV with their little sister, Lily. When Jordan went to the living room, Lily ran up to Jordan and hugged her legs. Jordan picks her up and kissed her cheek. “Mom, I think I should join karate,” Harley screamed from the kitchen. “Why is that?” Elena asked casually.. “Because there are boys around J all the time and I also have the responsibility to protect you three. After al
The week had rolled in pretty quickly. It was already time for schools to reopen. Adrian and Aaron had spent the week very well with his son. They visited hell lot of attractions in the city and made friends with their neighbors. Aaron was pretty much active than he was in their old place. But, he was yet to make friends around his age to play.On Monday morning, Adrian got up early to prepare breakfast for Aaron and himself. He could never miss having breakfast with his son. And also he was expecting the nanny he had hired for his son to arrive. The lady seemed nice on the phone so Adrian had decided to choose her.Aaron came out
Adrian was beyond shocked to know Jordan was his student. The mental note he had made to himself to keep a distance from her was down the drain. How could he even ignore her while she is his student! He will have to see for the most part of the week.His emotions ranged from slight happiness to extremely uncomfortable. Uncomfortable because she was hardly 18 and she was also his student. The idea of getting drawn to her again was not the one he fancied. He started thinking of ways not to get close to her or not to let her anywhere too close to him. If only he could control things that happen in life!When Adrian returns to the staf
