Husband And Wife
Vanessa
Four months!
Four months have gone by and I couldn’t be more excited. We finally brought back home our little bundles of joy last month and they looked so healthy and happy.
Even visiting them every day at the hospital made me miss them. I had the need to wake up every morning and go straight to their bedroom just to see their sleeping faces before the sun snuck through their colorful curtains.
They looked beautiful, and both had dark hair like mine. But they had hazel eyes like their father and made me fall in love with them even more.
Our wedding didn’t take place the month after they were born, but

ClayAs I sat there, leaning against the chair on our bridal table, I couldn’t help but admire the stunning woman dancing with my daughter. The way their dresses flowed as they twirled around on the dance floor had my heart and soul in total happiness.We had our first dance as husband and wife, but this was topping it. They looked beautiful.“Hello, everyone. Sorry to interrupt this amazing moment, but I wanted to say a few words to the bride and groom.” Candice’s voice was heard on the DJ’s microphone as she walked towards our table while Emily and Vanessa sat down, a big smile on their faces.Holding our hands, I kissed her before we heard the speech her best frie
Handyman Needed Divorce
VANESSASome women loved to be spoiled with luxurious items; cars, big homes, and expensive jewelry. I was one of those women that never liked to struggle, flirting my way around until I found the perfect man to provide for me.At twenty-five years old, I was already married to one of the richest men in New York. He owned a chain of hotels and spas around the world. Being the wife of Alex Donovan, I was the envy of many women who had tried to get their hands on him.I couldn’t blame them.He was tall, dark, and handsome. His black hair, neatly combed to the back, hypnotizing dimpled chin, and blue eyes.His body was a sin, but I was the one that tempted him. The lucky one that took him off the market, and I was proud of myself for it.I knew I was ten years younger than him, but anything I would ask for, he would always get me. Our marriage started as a fairytale story with honeymoons here and t
Handyman Needed Little Mouse
CLAYFairhope, Alabama. My home. A charming, small-town even tourists enjoy visiting. It was a quiet and peaceful place where neighbors knew and helped each other.I parked my pickup truck in front of the hardware store, a beat-up old 1966 Ford F-100. Pride of my grandfather and father. Oh, how they loved that old machine.The music sounded on the speakers when I walked inside. A soft country ballad that made even the less romantic person dance to it.But not me.I haven’t fallen in love since my high school sweetheart left town five years ago to pursue a career and never returned. I guess the city life was just perfect for her, and she didn’t need me anymore.I never blamed her. I was just the town handyman, and she aimed for more. My life here and our daughter made me happy, and I wouldn’t change it for anything in the world.Emily was only five, but she wa

VANESSA(Flashback)Candice and I were on our way to the club when she called her friends to meet us there. As soon as we arrived, we showed our membership cards. The receptionist looked at us in the system and later said I could not go inside.“I’m sorry, Mrs. Donovan. It says here your membership has been canceled, and access to benefits has been frozen,” she mentioned.“There must be a mistake. I recently bought it, and I haven’t canceled it.”“I know, but Mr. Donovan did, and you may not come in. I’m sorry.”He had done it. I knew he would do it.He had threatened me to make my life a living hell in any way possible.Candice pitched in and invited me in as a guest. It was embarrassing, especially when the ladies wouldn’t stop talking about it. I just sat th
Handyman Needed Fixed
CLAYI tightened the last pipe under the sink while Emily sat on the counter next to me, swinging her little legs as she watched my every move. She always said she wanted to be like me, but I worked hard to save money and send her to a good college to pursue a career.“When are you going to teach me to do what you do?” She asked with a smile on her cute face. I frowned, stopping my work to look at her.“You’re not going to do my job. It’s dirty and exhausting. You are too smart for this, and I want you to get a better job,” I replied. Emily hopped off the counter and looked at me as she scrunched her nose, upset at my response.“Daddy, you’re wrong. Just because your job is dirty doesn’t mean you’re not smart. I want to be a handyman or woman, whatever that’s called. I enjoy watching you work, and I want to be like you.” She folded her arms on her chest wi
Handyman Needed Arriving At Fairhope
VANESSAAs I was making the call, I kept looking at the pictures. That country manor sure was beautiful. The walls were a nice bright yellow, and the color instantly reminded me of the sunshine I needed in my life.It also had French-style windows with a big yard on the front. There was a gigantic oak tree on the side, and… were those horses?I only hoped.Since I was a young girl, I always wished to have a horse, but my family never wanted to get me one. Hence, me fighting my way to get what I wanted. I was not the best daughter throughout my childhood, and even now, my parents wouldn’t talk to me unless it was anything related to their company.Candice looked at the computer screen. Her smile was worth a million dollars. Sitting next to me, she kept scrolling through the pictures, and I noticed how in love she was with it.“Hello?” a younger female voice finally picked up. My heart was beatin

CLAYI arrived at the house and grabbed the hay from the back of my truck. Emily grabbed the small bag of chicken feed and carried it towards their chicken coop.The horses haven’t had hay in days, and today they deserved to get spoiled. As I approached the pen with the small block on my shoulders, the horses trotted towards the fence, looking excited about their treat.“Easy, my friends. I’m here to get you the best of Jimmy’s. He even says hi to you all,” I said as I untied the string from the block and spread it all around the pen. I sat on the fence to watch them eat, taking a deep breath and enjoying the fresh afternoon breeze.“They love that hay, Daddy, and I love seeing them eat it,” Emily said, climbing the fence to sit on it. I ruffled her hair and kissed her little hand.Suddenly, I was lost in thoughts, and the first image on my mind was her. Not only because she was beaut
Handyman Needed Muddy Shower
VANESSAThe house was a complete mess on the inside, just as it was on the outside. From the boarded windows to the dusty furniture and possibly the old plumbing noise. I didn’t mean to be rude to the lady, but she and the realtor had sold me an abandoned house. How was I supposed to live in it? I didn’t have enough money to fix this whole place.“I’m sorry, Mrs. Bale...”“Please, call me Katherine,” she said. I gave her a faint smile before I continued.“Katherine. I was upset, but you have to understand that I was looking for a ready-to-move-in house and this is not exactly that,” I said, looking apologetic as I pointed at the room.“I know, dear. I should be the one to apologize for th
