"So every year the form of the event is different?” I ask Susan."Yes, we always try to innovate in the best possible way.” says my mother-in-law."See this one here Sam, from two years ago and this one from last year.” Emma shows me an album with several photos, One more beautiful than the other. Both are really great at what they do, I'm delighted."Last year's auction? I've never been to one, I always thought it was cool" they laugh "But, in breach of secrecy, how much do you, I mean, the institutions that will be benefited receive? So when it comes to auctions?" I ask them."It depends a lot on what will be auctioned, the taste of the people who are there participating, how much they are willing to buy." says my sister-in-law."Last year, we had a collection of 60 million. In the penultimate auction we held, it was 100 million. Because both were different, works or products by different brands or artists." Susan says and my mouth opens."Wow, how much difference and how much money

Consequences Twenty-nine
Rebecca's revelation caught me completely off guard.I could list and imagine everything, what she could have done but not get pregnant, especially with a stranger. But after all, who was I to say something about this issue, right?My friend was happy to go to Ireland but was suffering from the mess she got herself into. I gave the support she needed at that moment, I was a friend in the same way she had been with me and, even knowing that it was a mistake that she herself sought out of lack of confidence, I stayed there for her and I will stay until the last moment.I confess my heart and mind was also on Sean, my brother.

"Why didn't you tell me that your doctor was now the pervert doctor?" Jordan asks as we leave the consultation.“What difference does it make?” I ask and get in the car."All the difference Sam! The guy came on to you, in front of me, while you were bedridden and unable to even react. Did you know that could qualify as harassment?” I laugh at him."Are you by any chance jealous, Jordan?" I say.“Of course I am, you're my fucking woman. I don't like the idea that there are other guys hitting on you, especially in front of me.” I'm taken aback by his confession."Since when do you worry about this?" I ask him and he takes a deep breath."From the moment you agreed to stay with me, give me a chance, from the damn moment I fell in love with you. Satisfied?" my heart leaps with joy and in my stomach, butterflies fly.Hearing him say that out loud was a little embarrassing because we had never really talked about how we felt about each other.But it was also amazing and warming to hear thos

Samantha pov'sJordan was spoiling me a lot.I felt like a real baby and I confess: I loved all that attention coming from him.A few days ago I completed seven months of pregnancy and it was being very tiring for me. I didn't even know what it was like to sleep normally, babies moved too much and that caused me a lot of pain, at times.

I close my eyes as I taste the risotto that Jordan talked about so much and it was delicious. That would definitely be the starter dish, no argument."Is that the one?" asks the blonde next to me."No doubt! Madam, can you bring us the next dishes so we can choose the main one." I say and the lady with well-groomed gray hair smiles and leaves towards the kitchen.Minutes later I see several waiters bringing all kinds of food, making my mouth water."Try this one Sam." says Jordan and I open my mouth and bite into a piece of fillet.The meat was juicy and tender, it was just right. I let out an involuntary moan and my husband laughed at me."Sorry Mrs. Edith, but it's delicious." I say and she smiles."Imagine dear, you can feel free. I know very well how our body works and tastes during pregnancy." I smiled gratefully at her at the same moment.The next thing was grilled chicken breast, with rice and mashed potatoes, and there I was, dying in love with all that food.[...]Hours later

Once again, I found myself in a hospital bed. It seems to have become a sort of karma in my life, and it's truly frustrating. The twins were almost born prematurely, but we made it to the hospital in time, and everything was under control. At this moment, I was resting, under observation for 48 hours, until everything was stable, and I could go home. Jordan, as always, never left my side, not even when Emma or Sean asked him to. He has been an anchor through all these moments. I know he feels guilty, not just for the drastic start to our marriage, but because of Jessica. Mostly her. Despite the mistakes, I know her illness is not his fault, as during their initial involvement, she already showed symptoms, but they never took the time to seek information. Even though Jessica did that, I don't blame her either. I have resentments, fears, and yet she is not to blame for the illness she has. Her bipolar disorder is terrible, and she never imagined she had it and would need treatment. I
