Tiffany I give up and cover my face, groaning. "You're okay?" He asks.I can feel the small amount of alcohol working on me. But I'm still in a good mood. I sit straight and rub my face."Yeah. Yeah. I'm sorry. I think—""Well, you can talk about good things, no?" He smiles. "There was nothing good in my life", I grunt. "Brought up in slums. Hardly getting food to eat. Working in a coal mine since I was a child. Nothing was good, actually. Mom left too. It's all about Ryan and Kevin, those only people who care about me", I scoff. "I care about you too", he husks. I look up at him. Our eyes meet. Intensely. He drags himself closer to me, our faces just an inch apart. I feel his arm snaking around my waist. He pulls me closer, pressing me against himself. Leaning closer to me, he softly places his lips on mine. My head goes blank and I respond with the same intensity. I hold his neck, and with my other hand, I clutch onto his shirt, going breathless with his tongue pushing inside m
Ivanna"I swear I have never seen so many cameras around my house after our wedding reception", I shrug, looking through the window while pushing the curtains back. "I knew it was coming anyway", Christian says.I glance at him when he's tapping on his phone and look back at the scenario out of the gate. The guards and Colton are trying to control the situation. "I know but I don't want Chrisanna to see all this stuff and get nervous. We can keep her away from the TV and other stuff to keep her away from the news. But I don't want her to be caged inside the villa. She can't go outside but at least, till now the yard and terrace were the only places for her to walk around", I shake my head in disbelief. "Guess she can't even peek through the window anymore"Christian tosses his phone aside and comes near me, pulling the curtain back. Then he holds my shoulders, making me look at him."First of all, my love, stop paying attention to them. And secondly, I understand your concern. Mayb
Ivanna I finally catch my breath after coming out of the courtroom. It was a two-hour-long debate that occurred inside. I was kind of prepared for the experience since it was not my first time in a courtroom. I had been attending all the trials with Emily for her case. To be honest, that's more crucial than this one. Watching Emily explaining all the horrific events she went through for a whole year and repeating things just for the sake of procedure freaked me out every time.Today, Christian narrated the whole thing that happened that night and everything that happened before that event. There were more details that he didn't tell me. And I was utterly shocked by all those tiny events that happened and I remained ignorant about them all the time. At that moment I was already dealing with my own issues when I started getting insecure about Thea. I never thought in my dreams that she was deliberately trying to get close to Christian ever since. She even got her kids admitted to the
TiffanyI was engaged in work the whole day. In reality, I'm more than just a nanny over here. Strangely enough, I'm looking after everything, from grocery shopping to cleaning, cooking, etc., etc. I have to guide the house help all day long. Every day is a busy day for me. And I'm glad I could spend my entire day working, especially today when I'm in a bad mood. After checking out if the dinner is prepared or not, I come back to my room. My eyes directly land on the way to my phone. I surge towards the bedside table and unplug my phone. It's 5:45 in the evening and there's no notification on my screen. It's not strange. My phone has been looking like this ever since, if I don't include the last three days. It leaves me in a sea of disappointment. Attachment sucks. Especially such attachments where you can expect something. I stare at the screen for a couple of seconds and can't help opening his chat again. There's nothing.Letting out a sigh of disappointment, I put my phone back
*I dropped Ryan and Kevin at school and before that, I made sure I sent the location and time to Sebastian. He didn't reply to me after that. We didn't talk after last night. And I believe he's a damn busy person already. He might have proposed to meet me because I was upset last night. I don't think he'll be able to spare some time from his busy schedule. As I expected, it was already fifteen minutes past the time I told him. I have been standing outside the supermarket for ten minutes. Then I found it better to go inside, expecting he's not going to make it over here. I take the cart and walk near the shelves, looking for the goods. I tick off each item from the list after putting them into the cart."Cereal!" I let out a deep sigh of disappointment since I know where I can find it.I look up at the top shelf. I always struggle to get it and end up calling a salesman for help. This time there's no one around me. I go on my tiptoes, trying to reach it. However, it's far away from
IvannaLauren looks terrified. Her eyes have popped out and her mouth is parted in shock. I don't understand the reason behind such fear since no one from us ever threatened her or anything. We tried to reach her peacefully but she constantly kept turning us down. I pass her a smile. "I'm sorry for showing up over here. But I need you to listen to me. It'll only take five minutes"Her lips shiver as she steps back. In the meantime, she turns around and surges faster toward the gate. I chase her right away. "Lauren! Lauren, wait!"I block her way, huffing and she gazes up at me."I just need five minutes, Lauren", I scoff. "Why are you running away?""I'm not running away, Mrs. Scott", she shrugs. "It's just that I feel harassed by you guys"I shake my head in disbelief. "Harassed? Lauren, none of us are trying to harass you by any means. We tried to contact you. Just twice. Very politely. And we just want you to give us five damn minutes""And you think, I'll be ready to meet you?"
TiffanySebastian brought me to the cafe attached to his father's bakery. It has a kind of vintage and cosy structure inside. The space is not large enough which makes it look even cosier than most of the cafes. We walk inside and I have to squeeze a bit toward the tables while two people pass by."This place is a bit crowded", Sebastian tilts his head to watch me. He sounded more like he was apologising for that."It's okay. I already—" I look around. "Love this place. Different than all the places I have been to"He passes me a smile and walks towards the table in the corner. I follow him over there. It's just close to the glass mirrors. He pulls the chair for me and I take the seat. "Thanks", I say. He sits on the opposite side of the small table and grins, "so, what will you have? You liked the lemon bars that day?" He asks before I could answer."Actually, yes", I giggle. "They were really good""So, let's order that one", he halts and taps on the table slowly. "Sorry, I did
Tiffany"What's going on over here?" Sebastian appears back at the table, looking at Gary and me, and takes his seat. "I was telling her about your iconic wedding announcement", Gary says with a big smile of pride. Sebastian's eyes widen into utter disbelief. "Gary, you just did not—""I did", Gary smirks.Sebastian lets out a deep sigh of annoyance, glancing shortly at me. I keep grinning at the situation, knowing slightly about the context. "You, fucker", he grunts at Gary. "You shouldn't be swearing in front of a lady. Well, that's pretty obvious since you didn't date properly for years. Learn the manners back", Gary tells him."Fuck off, Gary. You already made a good joke out of me over here", he shrugs."Well, I enjoyed the story, though. It was funny", I chuckle at him. Sebastian frowns. "Oh, you find me funny?"I roll my eyes. "A bit actually"He grimaces. "Enjoy!" Gary winks before walking away. Sebastian has put a dirty face on."What?" I ask while smiling. "It wasn't
