One morning, Tyler had just finished his morning run when he saw Theo having some trouble wearing his shoes. So he came to his rescue, "Here, I got this," he tied the shoelace for him. Tyler, despite his busy schedule Theo, where's mommy?" Theo kept quiet because he didn't want his father to get mad at his mom, he simply shrugged his shoulders. "You still haven't eaten your breakfast, have you?" Tyler asked again. "I-I am full, Daddy. And besides, I'll be late for school," said Theo. Tyler sighed and looked at the time, "Hold on, buddy. Daddy will change then I will bring you to school today." He entered Isabella's room and saw her hugging the booze in her sleep. From the looks of it, she seemed wasted and kept mumbling in her sleep. At some point, it became audible, "It's your fault…n-not mi…ne." Tyler wanted to confront her but Theo would be late. So he put off the sermon and tended to his son's care. As he dropped Theo to school, he thought he was hallucinating. Th
BREAKING NEWS: FOLLOWING THE DEATH OF THE FOUNDER OF THE SCHNEIDER ENTERPRISE, THE SHAREHOLDERS WILL HAVE AN EMERGENCY MEETING TODAY. THE AGENDA, TO OUST THE INCUMBENT CEO DUE TO MEDIOCRITY Rumors spread fast inside the company. It was even confirmed when the delegates of the meeting arrived at the company building one by one. By ten in the morning, all participants were complete. Enemies and allies sat down in their respective seats. It was hard to identify who your friends and foes were. Hawkins and Tyler needed to be vigilant, as this meeting would determine the company's future. The one who called the meeting finally opened it, "Thank you all for coming. During the past year, we noticed the remarkable decline in our…" The speech went on and on. It went circling around the embezzlement issues and the buildings that collapsed and more. They all pinned the blame on the CEO whom they claimed wasn't competent to make a rational decision, leading to the company's fall. The
Not only did the endless doorbell ring, but the loud banging on the door almost woke two naked people on the bed inside this grandeur VVIP suite room. “Sir! Sir!” screamed the loud voice from the other side of the heavy door. Yet no response was heard from two people who were heavily drunk and still enjoying the comfort of this king-size bed. Both of them were slightly snoring. “Sir Schneider! Mister Schneider! Please open this door, the chairman is on his way to your office,” pleaded the man while the banging became more aggressive. At this point, a glide from the woman’s hand was seen. She gracefully stretched her arms sideways but was blocked by a thick object beside her, “Hmm, what is it this time? A lamp shade? A painting?” she thoughtlessly asked herself knowing herself. Eyes still closed, she thought it was some kind of a pillow or a hard object lying down beside her, a drinking habit of cuddling almost anything at reach when influenced by alcohol. So she examined
She kept on tapping her feet while biting her right thumb incessantly. She couldn’t believe her eyes. No matter how many times she rubbed and closed them, what beheld in front of her was unchangeable. For the?nth?time, she closed her eyes and chanted wholeheartedly that all was just a nightmare, “It was all just a nightmare, all a nightmare! I can’t be married. It just can’t be!” Yet to her dismay, the contract clearly stated her full name as the wife,?‘Chloe Myers.’ “No!” she screamed as she lost hope while the two gentlemen in the room just stared at her. “Will you just sit down, woman? You’re making me nauseous,” complained the god-like man. She glared at him, “Well, you make me sick, Mister! This makes me sick!” she roused.? “Mrs. Schneider–I mean Miss Myers–” Hawkins quickly adapted to the situation while the two of them almost killed him with their visual prowess. “You’re enjoying this aren’t you, Hawkins? You truly want to punish me, huh? Just call the goddamn Cl
Now that he clearly remembered that his first moment with his instant wife was nothing but embarrassment, he didn’t even know how to talk her out of this situation. This woman whom he just met saw his weakness which no one has ever witnessed in his entire existence. He wished she would never bring that up and yet here she was retelling the whole story as if it was her story to tell. Now that he was almost dying of embarrassment, he immediately cut her by pounding the armrests, “I believe…” his stern voice rose, then he stood up and sent a clear signal to her, “...we don’t need to get into details, do we?” She was caught off guard and almost choked. After talking for almost half an hour about what happened, she felt dryness in her throat and realized she probably hit the mark. “My bad,” she tensely responded. “Y-you’re right we shouldn’t talk about what happened yesterday night…given how drunk we are,” she exclaimed in agreement. Feeling satisfied, he cleared his throat, a
A long flight had passed and Tyler finally arrived in front of his penthouse door. With everything that happened in Vegas: the rejected proposal and the marriage booze, he was looking forward to having peace in his own home at last. But he was not even getting it tonight, rather, it would be right to say, his grandfather wasn’t giving it anytime soon. As Hawkins opened the door to his penthouse, he immediately noticed the vibrant reflection illuminated by the glass chandelier hanging at the ceiling. He cussed aloud, “You gotta be fucking kidding me, right now!” then shook his head at Hawkins. So he swung the door completely and heard a popping sound from a party popper installed behind the door while the confetti rained down on him like crazy. As he entered his place, an LED projector was continuously playing an AVP of their romantic journey together. Fury and anger dawned on his face, “Hawkins, what’s the meaning of this?” But Hawkins was frozen to a standing position wh
“Isabella Winter, will you marry me?” At the same time he asked about the highlight of tonight’s event, the LED Display of “My darling, Isabella, will you marry me?” on Tower B was seen. People screamed altogether feeling the love in the air. Isabella was startled and turned her head to where they were looking. Her face suddenly became pale as she saw what her boyfriend had prepared. But her reaction didn’t result in a positive surprise, but rather, a negative one. “Ty, stand up right now, please,” she said as she held both his arms pushing him to stand up. Drunk at the moment, Tyler didn’t see the sign of devastation waving at him, so he signaled everyone to continue with the program. Hawkins pushed the tray with a customized sculpted cake, as if it was a miniature figure of Isabella Winter, holding a 10-carat Marquise pink diamond, one of the rarest of its kind. Everyone who saw the ring dropped their jaw and the buzzing of people’s amazement echoed inside. Everyone was
Back to the present time, Tyler stood up and faced his grandfather, “It’s been a long day, and I believe you already heard what you wanted right? So Hawkins will show you out, I need to rest for tomorrow,” he coldly said and walked towards his room. Before he could even get inside, his grandfather spoke as he put on his coat, “Atta boy! Pretty sure you’ll get over her someday, no matter how long it takes. But I must say, I still need an heir from you. Remember, you won’t be getting a single penny if I hadn’t seen you get married and have a child of your own before I die.” But he ignored him and went inside his room. But what his grandfather said reminded him of what happened next, something that he deliberately concealed from his grandfather. “You might not need to worry about it anymore, grandpa! I am a married man after all,” he whispered to himself as he laid down his tired body in bed and reminisced about his wedding night. (THE MARRIAGE BOOZE - PALMS CASINO RESORT)
