Gemma

At first, it was the frustration with Larry's situation. Then there were my insecurities regarding his future and his bride-to-be. And after months apart, I find it harder for me emotionally to reach out to him.

Days after I found out about the pregnancy, I was unsure about his reaction. I was scared thinking that Larry wanted me to terminate the pregnancy because of his thing with Alix. Though I know it may not be the case, the hesitation was still there.

He said that he loved me. I knew that I was the one who left, but the man didn't even fight my decision. Weeks turned into months and my pregnant belly got bigger. By then I thought it was too late. I don't know what he would think. I was scared that he'd accused me of hiding the pregnancy from him. I was afraid that he'd fight custody of our baby. So many bad scenarios crossed my mind and none was assuring me to tell him the truth. I was reluctant to confront my baby daddy.

Would he think that I trapped him so that he'

    Two years laterAlixI hate to admit that I was wrong and that my husband was right. Yep. I finally got married to Perry almost a year after he proposed. This was thanks to Remy and his bestie who’s now also my best friend, Jacqueline. I could’ve been married sooner, but I had let them convince me otherwise as they made arrangements for my wedding details. Which I didn’t regret one bit since it became such a beautiful and memorable day.I did invite my family to the wedding, but not before the invitation was ready since I didn’t want my mother to put her thoughts on my wedding.There was no big announcement on our wedding, although the venue was held in the most beautiful wedding hall and I didn’t know half of the people in the guest list. They were mostly my husband’s colleagues and Ghazi’s since it seemed that he had put money into the wedding, telling Perry that it was the proper thing to do since he had saved Ghazi’s life. Well, aside from that his husband adored me and baby Arthu

    Perry“Why?” Alix questioned, looking adorably annoyed. “You still remember what Samuel did to you, right? My brother almost killed you, Perry, and now you expect me to take my family back just because they like seeing us have dinner with Ghazi and Remy?” Alix blurted out her annoyance and I couldn’t blame her one bit.“Look, I know you and Ghazi talked about this,” Alix interrupted me when I was about to reply to her questions. “Remy, overhead, well okay...he eavesdropped, he was worried about me,” She paused before continuing, but I kissed her lips thoroughly before she got her words out.“Alix, baby, will you give me a chance to explain?”Alix gave an exaggerated sighed as she relaxed in my arms. I guided her to the sofa and rested my arm around her shoulder. She scooted close in her favorite position, leaning against my side.“Okay,”I kissed the top of her head and started retelling the discussion I had with Ghazi a few days after the unfortunate encounter with Alix’s family.“I

    AlixWe have been staying at Ghazi’s lovely town house for one month and Perry and I had slipped easily into our new routine. His job kept him busy while I stayed at the house and sometimes Ghazi’s husband visited me and baby Arthur at the house. Remy and I had quickly become friends since the first time we all had dinner together. He adored Arthur and had been talking about kids of their own though still not sure when. In the meantime Remy would come and visit and spend some time with us.“Remy, you’re going to spoil him. He’s already the best dressed toddler in the playground.” I scolded when he stepped into the living room carrying yet another shopping bag in his hand.“Well, the sales lady said they’re a-must-have boots for toddlers. And with the winter around the corner I think it’s wise to be safe. Don’t you think so?” He winked before he pulled out the cutest Gucci boots for Arthur.“Oh my god! They’re too damn cute!” I squeaked, I just couldn’t help myself as soon as I saw th

    PerryA few weeks ago we all celebrated Arthur’s first birthday party. We had a birthday cake and food delivered to the house. We spent the day with laughter and lots of gift unwrapping moments with our son. Larry was there and he looked happy for us. The last few months since I arrived, I have been recovering well and lately I have started doing work with Zal’s men here in London for one of Ghazi’s business partners. Things were going great and I couldn’t ask for a better situation with my little family. Well, apart from Larry who Alix was adamant that she wanted him to be happy too. The man was still working himself to death and I even noticed it. The second day after my arrival I did have a talk with him. Just the two of us while Alix fusses with our son. I told Larry everything with the hope of him sharing a little bit about himself since I know that Alix would forever worry about her best friend. While he did talk to me about Gemma, nothing was happening from his side. The man

    AlixIt was late in the afternoon after I settled Arthur down for his nap when I got a call from Perry. It has been an off and on week between Perry and I. He had been so busy with his work that I couldn’t contact his phone. Though one of his colleagues, Zal, did call, telling me that Perry would be unreachable and that I could contact him for any emergencies. Though I worry, I needed to trust Perry to do his work.“Hey,” I answered his call softly as I walked out of Arthur’s room. Larry was at work and the house was quiet when I continued towards the kitchen to get a glass of water.“Hey, is Arthur sleeping?” he asked, realizing that I was using my quiet voice.“I just tucked him in for his afternoon nap. How are you?” I asked, resting my back on the kitchen counter.“I’m very good. I’m very excited.” He blurted out sounding a bit impatient and giddy, making me feel somehow happy for his excitement. It was a contagious feeling that I got whenever he felt happy.“Oh yeah? Tell me,” I

    PerryWhen Alix texted I smiled so wide, Zal raised an eyebrow at me. I grinned when I told him that it was from Alix. “She asked about me, probably worried. I told her I’m fine and will call her tonight.”“Of course she’s worried about you. You know how to easily stop her from feeling it. She’ll be safer here even though we have people assigned to watch her in London.”“Ah, I still haven’t told her about that. And thank you for putting men on watch for my family.”“Pfft, you’re one of us now and Ghazi will have my ass if I didn’t give you the assurance. You saved him. We owe you everything.”“Well, I’m glad we met that day, since I didn’t know what to do with my situation anymore.” I confessed as I sat behind the wheels, driving us to the next meeting scheduled for that day.Later that night when I called her, Alix told me what happened earlier that day. “Larry was spooked, and I was worried, but he got in touch with the security company he trusted and had a guy escort us back to th
