View MoreSIX MONTHS LATER.KAYLA'S POVWe were currently at Lisa’s house for lunch, though at this point, we had spent more time gossiping than actually eating.The past six months had changed a lot of things. Some for better, some painfully.My hand rested absentmindedly against my stomach. I was exhausted. Apparently, carrying children in your belly was not for the weak.Gabriel and I had decided not to find out the genders beforehand because we wanted it to be a surprise. Though lately, everybody around us had become convinced I was carrying a boy, especially Aunt Beatrice.That woman had already purchased tiny suits!The longer I got to know her, the more dramatic she seemed to be.Lisa looked offended from across the living room as she held the large bouquet of flowers which had just been delivered to her apartment.“You haven’t even smelled them yet,” I teased.“I do not need to smell flowers sent by satan himself.”Beulah snorted loudly beside me while Lisa rolled her eyes and carefully
A MONTH LATER.KAYLA'S POV I had always imagined my wedding day as something simple, just private enough that every smile would mean something and every face in the room would not just feel familiar but close.Somehow, Aunt Beatrice and my mother had managed to give me exactly that.Surprisingly, my divorce process had been finalized just a week after Gabriel proposed. He had been too excited about it, like I wasn't just married to his nephew a while back. He informed Aunt Bea who flew down alongside Elena to start planning the wedding with mom.Now, I was very glad they did.The entire backyard of the Pearson Manor had been transformed into something so beautiful that I almost stopped breathing when I first stepped outside.Everything was white, warm, and angelic.White roses hung from tall crystal stands. White silk draped around the garden pillars and moved gently with the wind. Tiny golden lights glowed around the trees like floating stars, adding warmth to the calm elegance of
KAYLA'S POVI woke up, the morning rays filtering through the open windows. Then I looked around, getting familiarized with the environment. This was Gabriel's room.Somehow, mom had made me return with Gabriel to his apartment the previous night. It was crazy.I looked beside me to see he wasn't in bed and almost instantly, a smile made its way to my face when I realized he had woken up earlier to make me breakfast in bed.Just then, the door opened and Gabriel walked in with a large tray in his hands. I hated how I was ruining yet another gesture which was supposed to be a surprise. Now I had to act surprised. "Oh myyy... You're so sweet baby," I cooed and he grinned with a huge sense of accomplishment. "I hope you're hungry?""Very hungry." I nodded, subconsciously rubbing my still flat tummy.I was already two months along, and literally couldn't wait for my bump to start showing. It all still felt surreal...I was carrying Gabriel's child, and we were engaged to be married. I
GABRIEL'S POV.Oh wow...I certainly did not expect that.Imagine spending the entire day trying to plan the perfect proposal, and somehow your friends beat you to it.It was both frustrating and funny!"Congratulations, Lisa and Chase. I wish you both lifelong happiness." I smiled."Thank you, man," Chase walked over to me and we shook hands."Thank you, Gabriel," Lisa managed to give me a reply while hugging Kayla who was sobbing uncontrollably. I wasn't sure whether to be worried or..."Is she okay?" Chase whispered beside me, clearly worried too."I promise you guys, I'm just fine!" Kayla pulled away from Lisa, eyeing both of us as she chuckled lightly. "It's just the pregnancy hormones." She hissed.Ohhh, that definitely explained it."Thought as much!" Lisa laughed."Congratulations to you both," Kayla said, looking at Chase now. "You're one quick bastard." She said to him, chuckling again. "You quickly wifed her up.""You can't blame me, I'm greedy." He laughed.Now, I was uns
