Roman
When she finally showed up he couldn't help but feel guilty. Guilty over how in just a spur of the moment, Jo had messed him up and yet here was Mikaella casually packing his meds in the duffle bag.It irked him that she said nothing since she got to the hospital. Knowing his wife, she would have made a fuss about him being reckless or even ask why he did what he did in the first place, why he was in jail in the first place but noo. Mick was as silent as a mouse occupied with the packing. Deep down he knew it was better, deep down he didn't want to talk to her not after Jo appeared in his life. Not after realizing that...that...he didn't want to say it.Ten minutes later they were out of that hell hole, he hated that place. Especially the food. He stared out the window his mind so occupied while his dearest wife Mikaella did the same. She too seemed occupied by something. Something had changed, he couldn't quite pin it but something seemed off about

"Think of it, this way. Mommy is taking a vacation or a business trip and when it's done she'll come back,"she knelt down on the concrete path outside Seth's school.She bit her lip trying to sound so tough, wiping the strands of black hair from her son's face. Next to them was James, waiting impatiently for the conversation to end and he would take the kid home per his boss' orders. "I don't understand, mommy. Why can't I come with you?"This time she smiled, looked at his eyes and hugged him so tightly that the kid almost choked."I love you baby. So much. You know that right?" She held the back of his head before pulling out of the embrace and kissing his forehead."And I love you too, mommy. From the moon and back"And well that was that. She watched as the car drove away and she couldn't help it. She was leaving her baby for the very first time, that too for her selfish reasons. But no, she was not going to run. Her brother

Thanks," she smiled appreciatively taking her driver's hand for support.Immediately she was out of the car, the cameras flashed her face. Some asking her if the men behind her were her escorts. Truth be told once she had stepped out of the vehicle, she hadn't looked back to see who was who. But if there were men behind her, that would only mean that her dad had sent some men to keep watch over her despite her insisting she would be alright.She took one step at a time giving the paparazzi time to capture her beauty. Dressed in a silver strapless gown and one of her family's heirloom necklaces on her neck, she flushed a smile walking further. Odd enough, the four inch heels her mother had ordered for her felt comfortable. She took out her card showed it to the man standing out the event before getting in the ballroom.Now if there's one thing, the Griffin family were known for was their way of showing off. The party seemed nice. Formal, everything around s

MikaellaImmediately she got home, she let her legs sprawl over the bed. Tonight, she felt carefree. She felt like a teen all over again. Not a mother nor a wife to an ungrateful husband, but a teen.It was not her intention to make a fool of people at the party but Marcus wouldn't stop. Just to prove a point, he had poured hot cheese on some guy just to prove that the whole event was infact filled with snobs. She remembered how the guy had called Marcus dumb telling him that in no way did could he afford to pay for his five hundred dollar suit. The rest of the night went on with her listening to Marcus' stories of how he had encountered a bunch of snobs in the station. The night had surely brought life to her forlorn heart and from Marcus she had learnt that her life wasn't as bad as she claimed."So you are telling me you left your son just to attend what? Some man baby's party. Damn and I thought you were ruthless. Not to be confused I think you ar

RomanThe elevator doors parted and he took in the scent. Walking down the heavily scented hallway, he greeted the maid passing by carefully watching the numbers on each door.Finally arriving at her room, he took a deep breath turning the knob slightly. As fast as he was in, the cream colored room caught his attention. The delicate vases carefully settled within the farthest ends of the room. His shift drifted back to the woman on the bed. The woman in nothing but a red lingerie."I knew you wouldn't disappoint,"she stood up moving swiftly to where he was.As fast as she had her hands entangled behind his neck, he did what he came here for. Grabbing her by the neck, he captured her lips roughly and within a flash they were on the bed. He forced his tongue into her mouth undeterred by her moans. Her moans did nothing to him and he realised that but he wasn't going to stop now.Pulling away from her he unbuckled his belt tearing away the f

MikaellaDinner. Dinner was awkward. What she couldn't understand was why he was at the table this early. And just to lighten the tension, her son had spoke out numerous times about the blonde he had a crush for, Tessa Reinhart."Mommy can we go to Walmart tomorrow?" Seth asked and she returned it with a smile.All the while Roman sat across her, sending her these signals that irked her. Why was he looking at her like that if he didn't want me to be his wife to begin with? She had reasoned swallowing the lasagna. After dinner and after telling her son for the umpteenth time that they would go to Walmart tomorrow just to buy some plastic roses, she went to her room.More specifically the guest room. Sure she had come back home, but she wasn't dumb enough to sleep in the same room he was. She would bet a million dollars that he wanted Joanna sleeping next to him and not her. And the truth is, it hurt a tinsie bit but she let it go.After mi

Mikaella"Ooh mama. Work it girl! Work it!" Raque shouted.Normally she wouldn't do this, but when her colleagues chanted, she went with the flow, dancing awkwardly against the marble floor. Raquel rushed over to her, hugging her so tight before pulling back,"That leave sure did you some good huh? Look at you," Mick twirled sarcastically per Raquel's comments,"you are glowing! You had sex didn't you?"And that stopped the humor. Sex was the last thing she was having. Come to think of it the last time she had it was what? Like five or six years?"Nope. God. Why? Why would you think that?"Mikaella slapped her forehead lightly."Ok maybe not sex but the party did bring out the best of you. And that guy you were with mmh-hmm mama wants some!""What...what party?"Grabbing the newspaper from her secretary's desk, Raquel flipped it. The Sandoval heiress tamed yet by another hunk?Mikaella graced the front pa

Roman"Sir should I order your lunch?" His secretary asked but with a smile he replied with a no.It was sudden, he knew but the urge of going to Mikaella and asking her out for lunch was great. He knew very well that Mikaella would refuse his lunch proposal but deep down what he wanted to see was her. His wife was a clever little minx trying to avoid him.Like today, she had woken up so early and went off to work just to avoid him. But that would change, he was determined to win her back come what may. "What do you mean she is not in?" Roman asked the brunette seating before Mick's office.His heart fell a little, the drive on the way here was worth it all because her and now? She was not even in? Then where was she? The question dominated his mind. Where was she?"Just what I said Sir, she's not yet back"Did she go to lunch earlier? But he arrived earlier didn't he?"Back from where?""She happ

MikaellaShe really wanted to believe him. To believe those grey eyes that made her heart pound everytime. But falling for Roman Cervantes was pure torture. One day he was into you so much that you'd almost have sex in the dining room and the next he was not. The next he was a cruel guy who didn't want anything to do with her.Color drained from his eyes when she said she didn't want him, it was like he was breaking from the inside and when Mikaella went to say something more, this came out instead,"Aaah_chew!"She sneezed right in Roman's face. Roman pulling away slowly removed his jacket wrapping it around Mick's shoulders."Let's go home" He simply stated.She couldn't quite pin it but deep down she knew he was upset. Did he really care for her?"I still have work to do so excuse me,"she replied trying to move past him but he was quick to grab hold of her wrist, taking advantage of the situation and yanking her into
