Alvara

Kai stopped chewing. For a few seconds, he didn't react at all.

Slowly, his head turned. “Why would you ask that?“

His tone was strong. I could tell he was angry but was trying to hold it in.

I tried to shrug it off casually. “I was just thinking. That's all“

“You've never mentioned a surrogate before“

“I know“

“So why now?“

Forcing a small smile, I revealed. “Because I just thought maybe someday you'd want a child that looks like you“

He scoffed, “Really? How thoughtful“

    Alvara“Alysia..“ My voice came out softer than I expected. “W-What do you mean?“Letting out a shaky breath, she glanced away. “I didn't mean to just drop it on you like that. I just—“ Her voice broke again.“Talk to me. Tell me everything. I'm listening“ “I was diagnosed a year ago“ Alysia began. “Kidney failure. It started gradually with me getting tired all the time but I brushed it off thinking it was just stress““I'd just finished highschool so I was in a hurry to find a job to support my parents but it turned out my body had other plans“ She continued. “I've been to several hospitals and they all said the same time. That I need a kidney transplant“ “And you haven't been fortunate to find a donor yet?“ I asked but it wasn't a question. She nods. “No one in family is compatible. Extended family too. We've tried everyone“Alysia takes a moment to gather herself. “I've been on the waiting list but you know how that goes. It could take years. Years I'm not sure I have and today,

  • I DIVORCED MY HUSBAND–THEN, MARRIED HIS BROTHER    NOTHING LASTS FOREVER

    Alvara The news about the dress I'd worked on with Janice spread around like wildfire. She'd given me all the credits for the finishing touches on the dress. And that had made my name blow up twice more than the earlier scandal did. To celebrate the fast selling out of the dress, Janice had suggested we all go out for team lunch.“Everyone is now looking out for your new design“ She queals. “Aren't you excited?“ Her smile fades when she notices the look on my face. “You're not smiling. Why are you not smiling? Don't tell me this is the part you withdraw back to your shell again?“I picked up my half-filled glass of beer, ready to pretend to drink it to avoid answering Janice question but she holds my hands. “Answer me, Alvara. Where is that girl I saw in you before?““She's still in there. Somewhere“ I murmured. “But, I'm starting to feel all sort of pressure again. The last time I was on the spotlight like this, the project failed““I told you before, Alvara. You're not alone“ Ja

  • I DIVORCED MY HUSBAND–THEN, MARRIED HIS BROTHER    A SUCCESS

    AlvaraFor a split second, Janice says nothing. After a while, her lips curved into a satisfactory smile. “Then, I'd look forward to seeing what you can do“ She says. A runway show in a few hours. My chest tightened but I forced myself to look compose. This was what I wanted, right? A chance. “Aira, please stop out of the dress“ Janice says to the female model. Without hesitation, she quickly stepped out of the dress and handed it over to her. Tyrning“Alvara, come with me. We don't have time to waste“ She leads me to the backstage area. There, I find models practicing their walks. “What are you doing standing there, Alysia!“ A lady dressed in an all black goth dressing yelled at her assistant. “Can't you see Jane's seam has torn? Go and fix it!““Y-Yes, ma'am“ The assistant stuttered, moving along to do as she'd been instructed. “That Mercy Wills“ Janice introduces. “She's a perfectionist. You'd like her when you get to really know. Right here in this backroom is where real d

  • I DIVORCED MY HUSBAND–THEN, MARRIED HIS BROTHER    TRUST ME

    AlvaraThe line went dead but Williams threat replayed over again in my head.“Alvara?“ Kai's voice called out behind me, making me aware of his presence.Whisking around, I put down my phone. “Yes?““You seem distracted. Is there a problem?“Kai doesn't know that Williams has been calling me. Telling him now didn't seem like the right time.“No problem at all. Shall we go back to what we were doing?““Sure“Kai and I moved back to the bedroom, wrapping up our shared ideas for my new design. “Alvara, are you sure you're alright?“ He asked. “You don't look so good“Shit. Was I making it obvious?“To tell you the truth...“ My voice trailed off. “Earlier, Williams called me“Kai's relaxed posture stiffened as his eyes darkened. “You've been keeping in touch with Williams?““I've not. I mean it. I swear“ I denied immediately. “He called me with an unknown number for the first time while I was working on AGP““Okay?““At that time, he called to let me know that there was a mole in the com

    Alvara“Then the offer is all yours, Alvara“ Janice says with a smile, concluding our deal with a handshake. “The contract would be sent to you via mail. You can review it then sign“ “Thank you“ Standing to her feet, Janice focuses her attention back to the design she had been working on. “You said you lost someone so I'll keep things on hold until you're ready but don't take too long. The trend doesn't wait for anyone“ I understood what she was trying to say. “I'll try not to keep you waiting“ “Oh, I'm not worried about me“ She replied. “I'm worried about the rest of the world missing out on what you're about to create“Janice confidence in me felt strange. I wasn't used to people believing in me. “Take care of yourself, Alvara“ She says, tone softening. “Grieve properly. Then come back stronger“ I nodded. “I will“Over the next few days, planning for Klein's burial was carried out. Then, the day for his burial came. It was just a gathering of a few people. I, Kai, the siste

    AlvaraAfter receiving Klein's remains, I got ready to go to FashionXpress. Standing in front of the building, all my confidence left me. Could I secure a deal in a place like this? Moreover, do I even belong here?“Maybe I should just go bac—“ “Mrs Foley?“ A feminine voice called out, approaching me. She was dressed in black and white office paint and suit. “You're Mrs Foley, right?“I nod. “Yes, that's me““Right this way, please. Miss Janice is expecting you“ “But—“ “Miss Janice said you should sit throughout the rend of the meeting before you make a decision“ She cuts in. “She was worried you might bail before stepping into the company. You're not bailing, are you?“Immediately, I denied it. “No. Not at all. I...“ I paused to think of a good excuse. “I left my lucky pen back at home so I was just heading to get it“Embarrassment washed over me. Really, Alvara? This was the best you could come up with. A lucky pen?“You need not to worry“ The lady replies. “We have lots of pen

    KaiI tensed. “What do you mean you might have to pull the product out of the market just because of some few bad reviews, Davidson?“ I asked. “They could be fake for all we know“ “I know that, Kai“ Reed replies. “But half of the products already bought are being returned due to the review.

    Alvara“Miss Alvara—!“ “Mr Kai—!“ The reporters calls out, rushing after us but we don't come to a stop until we got into the car. Closing the door behind us, Kai drives off. Letting out a relieved sigh, I say. “That was one of the most terrifying moments of my life“He chuckled, “You did good“

I was really eager to know. Hanging up, I tore my gaze away from him as he lets out a heavy sigh. “That was Willia
