AMBER'S POV
.
I parked my car in the driveway and headed towards my office.
The minute I stepped into my office, I felt my phone vibrating in my pocket so I brought it out to answer. "Hello"
"So are you settled in?"
"Yes I am. how was the drive with Genie to school?"
"Beautiful as always. I'm having a great time being a Dad" he said and I smile "Thanks Miguel. you're the best husband and father a woman could ask for" "Go on. I thrive on flattery" he said and we both ended up laughing. "So how about we have dinner later when you're done with work?"
"I don't know"
"just dinner. nothing more I promise"
I stare at my desk, lost in deep thought.
"Bella?"
"Yes, sure why not"
"Thanks. oh and grandpa would be coming in three days time" he said and I heard him sigh on the other end.
"Alright. we'll prepare for his visit"
"thanks Amber. tak

BEAUTY AND THE BEAST***.DENISHA'.I hurriedly stepped out of the car and picked up my luggage from the trunk, and occasionally wiped the tears that threatened to fall.I walked up to the front porch and banged at the door.when I felt like no one heard me, I hit it again and again until I heard the door knob being twisted from the inside.The door finally opened and I saw mom standing there. Her hair looks scattered and her clothes weren't in order. I didn't need a soothsayer to tell me that mom is having a great time in another man's arms. but that's the least of my worries anyways."Denisha why are you here at this ungodly hour. it's late and shouldn't you be at home with your husband and daughter?" she asks,I broke down in tears immediately she said that and she pulled me in for a hug."Shh" she cooed "It's okay""I'm here sweetie, you'll be fine" she said gently patting my back and I disenga
