The whole room felt so small as Zoey ran past them, it was like oxygen was racking her spine as she counted the rooms. Her breath was short-lived, she could only pray under her breath."Zara!" She calls out, fear evident in her voice, the pain of losing her own daughter sends tears to her eyes. The hall was stretched out, too many rooms. The stairs looking back at her.She stopped at the living room, she could feel the throbbing in her head."Zara! Please come out. Please." She just stood there rooted, it was like the alarm was buzzing in her head: countdown, five, four..Sweat clanged the corner of her hair, she checked her father's study, it looked rather untouched. Her father's favorite novel, 'Rich man, poor man,' sat there elegantly on the table. Hope. It needled through her, then vanished into thin air. She called again, this time more loudly, perhaps her daughter might hear her. "Zara!" The room was eerily quiet.With lost hope, she just stood there, she would rather blow with
Even though one week had passed and everything seemed to be moving well, Zoey still felt this urge: sinking and swimming through her, prompting her to see her mother in jail, so that's why early in the morning, she got into her Sedan and drove towards the lane."What do you want?" The receptionist barked at her, her face gruff, prison was not a good place, no doubt. It smelt of stale coffee, the place looks rugged, like criminals had been jacked into this place, struggling to get inside."I want to see my mother." Zoey made to speak again, but the angry looking woman waved her off."Sorry. Kid." The woman puffed her cigar in between her hands, "But visiting hours are over, if you would please return later, I am sure you would be entertained with whoever you want to meet."The woman is really rude, no doubt, but Zoey doesn't want to leave without seeing her mother. Sometimes, your name is very important, and if using that name would get her what she wants. Then, why the heck not?She
Two Months later."Zoey hurry! We don't want to be late for Sky's concert. Do we?" Stella yells from the bedroom, her gaze directed at the dressing room."Coming! Just trying to get the zipper on, damn, it's too hard!" Zoey yells back.Stella takes in a little giggle, and stares outside the room, the view is perfect, she could see the sun set even from here. She was having a giddy feeling today, but it didn't sum up her excitement.Today was Sky's first concert after his music block has been overcomed and he was singing his new song. People are flooding all over Los Angeles just to hear his voice, She, Zoey and the rest already got their tickets. She couldn't wait to see him sing after his music block. Excitement is washing over her. She can't wait.Zara enters the room, a smile on her face. "Aunt Stella!" She throws herself towards her."How was your night? Little Pumpkin?" Stella nudges her hair playfully, her hands moving to tickle her."It's fine." Zara scrunched her nose, before
One year later,Thanksgiving day.The room smelt like any other thanksgiving room, roasted turkey, cream, salad and a bunch of people sipping wine. The dinner was about to start, and soon everyone was going to be saying what they were thankful for.Zoey recounted, she didn't even know where to begin, just one year ago, her life had changed ever so much. Perfectly well, it had gone along.Dexter came into her life, Rafael stumbled in, and oh, she didn't know how, but they both loved her daughter so much, well. Zara better get used to having two overprotective fathers.Miranda, Stella and Zoey have become quite the inseparable trio, having tea on Mondays, hitting the gyms, and gossiping about their husbands.Presently, Zoey was sprawled on the bed, her hands swiping through her phone, just waiting for it to be ringing, finally it chimed. She swiped it up immediately."Stella!" She beams, cheeks pink. "How's the baby moon going? Is Mexico alright?"Stella's voice sounded so angelic from

Natasha smiled within herself, as she kept gazing at the pregnancy test papers, her joy knew no bounds as she leaped in excitement. Her face was squished into a hearty smile, as she climbed the stairs of the mansion, her mind trailing away. She squeezed the papers in her louis vuitton bag, she had just planned to tell her husband that she was two weeks pregnant!! She had been married to Alec for the past two months, she smiled to herself as she remembered how they were high school sweethearts, how she pursued him and finally made him hers, she rubbed her cheeks in contentment, her tall legs trampling down the steps. Oh! she couldn't wait to break the happy news to her husband, she was damn happy, her marriage to Alec had been successful for the past two months but there was only one problem. Her Mother-in-law and sister-in-law didn't quite like her, they called numerous names and accused her of being a gold digger, Alec was a successful CEO but she was just an average girl from a
A low yawn escaped Natasha's already chapped lips as she flipped the pancakes in the pan, as she watched the pancakes jump from the pan to the air, and then back into the pan, the sizzling sound filling her ears. She stretched her arm, it was obvious that she was really tired, but for the sake of her kids, she had to be up and running. The delicious smell of fresh pancakes lingered around the whole room, it made the twins skip happily to their mother in delight, they both had a warm smile that could melt any ice block. "Mother, are those pancakes I smell?" Her son, Nikky Excitedly asked, his blue eyes which resembled hers in every aspect twinkled perfectly under the light. He stretched his hands forward, gesturing his hands to his mother. She squatted to his level and patted his inky brown hair adoringly, "Yes, Nik, It's our favorite." She smiled at him. Gratitude was clearly shown in his face as he hugged his mother's arm. That mother and son duo had gone a long way, Nikky a
Natasha held his phone, "What?" Her eyelashes flutter in confusion. "Since you lost your other job as a chef, I just found a new one." He almost shoved the phone to her face, but he lowered it, and tucked it back into her pockets. "Really? What?" She was finally happy, after she lost her job two weeks ago, things had really been tough for her and the twins and now that Sky had found a job for her, she felt glad. "Since you have a degree in business, the job won't be quite hard," He said. "Can you just tell me the job and stop keeping me in suspense?" She almost rolled her eyes looking at the dramatic display in front of her. "Okay, so, a new CEO had just brought the whole company , he resides abroad, but he's in the country now, he fired all the employees, and now, he's looking for new ones. To start up, his assistant." Sky explained. "When's the interview?" She asked earnestly. "Today." He palmed his lips together. "Really?" Her eyes shone brightly. "Yes, and the pay is qui
