Calvin stood on the balcony of his new home. The view was beautiful, serene, peaceful, and quiet, just as he wanted it to be for now. There were times he wished he had someone to talk to, but he decided against it. He called Kimora one time, and when she answered the call, he quickly ended it. She called several times, but he didn’t answer. He just wanted to hear her voice, and once he did, he was fine. ~~~ "Hey, gorgeous,” Alyona said as she entered Ida’s ward with Khloe, Davina, and Zeke. “ Hi guys,” she responded, happy. She was already bored in the hospital. She had spent three days in the hospital and was leaving that day. Elon had gone to drop Kayden off at school and was on his way back to pick up his wife and daughter from the hospital. “ Where’s my little angel?” Khloe asked, walking to the baby’s cot. “How are you feeling, by the way?” Davin asked her cousin. “ I’m exhausted, and I miss my bed so much.” Ida pouted like a child as Khloe carried her baby. She took her m

Shit! What time is it?" Alyona suddenly sat up from Bazyli's lap. They had been so engrossed in chatting and having fun that they hadn't realized how late it had gotten after dinner. They enjoyed each other's company and shared lots of laughs. "It's 11pm," Bazyli replied. "I have to go home, Baz. It's really late," Alyona said, starting to pack her things. He didn't want her to leave, but he knew she wouldn't be comfortable staying at his place. "Let me grab my keys. I'll be right down," he told her as he went upstairs. Aly couldn't help but smile as she watched him go. As she touched her lips, Alyona couldn't help but remember the sweet kiss she shared with Bazyli a few hours ago. It made her feel all warm and fuzzy inside. He had been so gentle and tender. "Ready?" he asked, surprising her as he came down the stairs with his bike key in hand. "Yeah," she replied. He walked over to where she was standing and pulled her into a hug. Her hair smelled like bubblegum

"I think it’s time you focused on yourself, Kimora,” one of her friends and colleagues, Ha-Yun, said.“ I’m trying to, Yun, but his thoughts are just clouding my mind. He called me one time and refused to speak, yet I could hear him breathe. I called back several times, yet he refused to answer the call,” she explained.“ You can’t put your life on hold for him. He hasn’t made his intentions clear; whether he is in love with you or not, we do not know.” Ha-Yun tried to reason with her.“ I know, bu— “ You’re in love with him; I get it, but he clearly doesn't know what he feels for you. It’s more of a one-sided love affair. I’m sure there are a lot of men out there dying to have a chance with you.”"Umm, no one has approached me yet, Yun. Unlike you, who’s happily married, I’m a single woman in love with a man who isn’t. Yaaaay! F*ck my life!” She sarcastically added.“ You know what? Do things you like. Go out, visit the spa, and go on solo dates. Learn to love yourself, and then you

The moment Ayanda stepped through the door of the Maximilian Penthouse, she gasped. It had been a while since Giada and Jaxon had last visited the penthouse, and it was even more breathtaking than they remembered. The last time they had been there was for their father's birthday, a joyous occasion that now felt like a distant memory."Wait till you see the room," Giada chuckled, her voice filled with anticipation as they lugged their suitcases up the grand staircase."Hi Courtney, is there anything we can eat?" Jaxon called out to the long-time caretaker of the penthouse. Courtney had been a fixture in their lives for as long as Jaxon could remember, overseeing the day-to-day operations of the expansive property with unwavering dedication."Yes, the cook is preparing you something delicious," Courtney replied with a warm smile. "Go ahead and freshen up, and I'll come and get you when it's ready."Jaxon enveloped Courtney in a hug, the familiarity of her presence bringing a wave of com

“ May I?” A voice asked, waiting for Kimora’s approval to sit at her table. She took Ha-Yun’s advice to go out more and decided to try that since she had no major engagements coming in due to the festive season that was fast approaching.“ Sure, please do," she replied as he murmured a ‘thank you’Kimora raised her head to see who she was talking to, and she was in awe. The man sitting in front of her was gorgeous—I mean, drop-dead gorgeous.He smiled at her reaction, his lips pursed in a thin line. He had toned olive skin, emerald eyes, and the deepest dimples she had seen on a man. He had a clean shave and a chisled jaw. His hair! His hair was thick, long, and curly, parted to the side with a stylish undercut.“ I’m so sorry for staring; I was just—“ It’s fine, beautiful. Pardon my manners; I’m Jamal, Jamal Ryker.” he introduced. “ Kimora, but my friends call me Kim. Nice to meet you, Jamal," she replied. “ Nice to meet you, Kim. I’m sorry. I just invited myself into your space,

Kayden hurriedly descended the staircase to see what presents Santa had left him under the Christmas tree. He had been looking forward to receiving his presents throughout the week. “ Kayden, have you washed your face yet?” his mother called from the top of the stairs. “ B-but the presents,” the three-year-old pouted, pointing at the tree. “ Come on, let's go wash your face and brush your teeth and then you can open up your presents,” Ida said. The toddler reluctantly climbed up the stairs to his mother. ~~Giada and Jax decided to spend the Christmas with Aly after they got home from the Penthouse. They didn't like the idea of staying at their father's house alone when their mother wasn't there. Aly was more than happy to have her siblings spend the holidays with her. It had been a long while since they did that together. “Jax! Giada! Breakfast is served.” Alyona called from the kitchen. She had a few rounds to do so she had to be up early to fix them something to eat before s

The holiday festivities had kept Aly so busy that she barely had time to see Bazyli, and each time they had planned to meet, a family engagement came up.She sat on the lazy chair on her balcony, thinking back on how the year had affected her negatively and positively in her business and personal life. It was the last day of the year, and she was grateful for everything that had happened. She was thankful for life, friendships, family, and growth. She had drawn plans for the new year for her business and personal growth. Who knew? She would even find herself a boyfriend. “Bad time?” Giada asked, walking towards where her big sister was seated. She admired her resilience and hard work, as well as how she was present for everyone. “No, not at all. Come sit," she patted an empty spot for her to sit. “ Thanks,”“ What's up with you?” Alyona asked, starting a conversation. "Nothing; I just wanted to join you and enjoy the fresh air.” Giada grinned. “ You know there's something on yo

As the clock hit midnight, the Maximilian family burst out in jubilation, signalling the start of the new year. Xara, her siblings, and their mother gathered at her house for a happy celebration. The year had been a smorgasbord of accomplishments, new contacts, rich business transactions, and the joyful addition of a new family member. Xara raised her glass for a toast, capturing the essence of the moment. "To new opportunities, finding love, and growth!" Her eyes playfully met Aly's, knowing full well the undertones of her mother's words. The prospect of love lingered in the air, and Xara couldn't help but hope for her daughter's heart to find its counterpart. As the family rejoiced downstairs, Zeke, Aly's best friend and confidant, sensed that something weighed on her mind. Their unspoken connection led them to Xara's room, where the air was filled with a mix of celebration and the unspoken. "Are you okay?" Zeke inquired, breaking the silence that surrounded Aly. "I'm fine, Zeke,
