NARRATIVE

"Gather around kids. Let’s see what you’ve painted." The middle-aged, brunette haired lady said as she tapped her ruler on her desk. Of course, it was to gain the giggling and chatty kids' attention.

"Yes, Teacher!" The kids giggled as they all scampered back to their seats, each holding their canvas.

Nine year old Cora, stared at her drawing proudly even though she’s done the opposite of what Madame Gary had asked them to paint. As far as she’s concerned, she’s done a good job and hopefully, the teacher would leave in a good word for her to her mom. She wanted to continue taking lessons under Madame Gary’s art class but her mom was skeptical about it as she thought Cora wasn’t that devoted to painting.

"Not bad, Giselle. Hopefully, you’d be a great artist someday. Great job, Pamela! I like that you always put in maximum effort." Madame Gary went on as she examined the kids’ paintings from seat to seat, complimenting those who did really well and encouraging tho

  • It Was, A Beautiful Breakup    6.(Your Bride Is Not Here)

    ARLOWE'S POV “I’m so sorry, babes. I got carried away with my fling and failed to look after you well, even when it was I who took you there.” She apologized sadly. “It’s not your fault, Nick, so don’t be sorry. I have even more stunning news for you.” I led her to the bed and showed her the note, the mask and clothes the masked individual had left for me. Nicky was as stunned as I had been. Also, I showed her the text I had gotten from the unknown contact that was likely Adams Hathaway. And again, she was stunned silly by the absurdness of the whole situation. I mean, this was a man who seemed hell bent on making sure I was punished because of some misunderstandings and he was definitely aware that up until yesterday, I was his cousin’s wife so what in the world was he thinking? After some moments of silence and bewilderment, Nicky suddenly spoke up. “We would have to contact the attendant who supposedly led you to meet Adams Hathaway yester night. Then, we would be

  • It Was, A Beautiful Breakup    5.(Your Bride Is Not Here)

    ARLOWE'S POV "The fuck, Arlowe! I've been calling since forever! What the hell happened to you?!" Nicky worriedly yelled the moment my call went through. "N-Nicky...I... I..." My voice broke as tears rolled down my cheeks. "Babes, are you okay? I couldn't find you at the club. Where are you?" Her worry was so evident in her voice. My hands trembled as I held the phone to my ear, one hand clutching the duvet to myself while my eyes roamed around the room fearfully. "I'm... I think I'm in a big mess, Nicky. I...I must have... I can't believe I..." I stuttered through my words, not even able to comprehend or even say what my situation seemed like. "Arlowe, tell me, where are you? What do you see?" I pushed a hand through my messy hair in my frustration and the duvet fell to my waist. "I swear I don't know. It seems like a h-hotel room," "What!" Nicky gasped in disbelief and I sighed, wiping my tears. I couldn't believe it either. But the reality of what I had

  • It Was, A Beautiful Breakup    4.(Your Bride Is Not Here)

    ARLOWE'S POV Several minutes later, we arrived at the most popular nightclub in town. And I turned to stare at her with uncertainty. "Relax, Arlowe. We got this." She smiled and adjusted my skimpy dress. For us to successfully blend in, we had to dress for the occasion. This was Nicky's idea of helping me resolve my issue tonight and it was the only way possible at the moment. She had received a rare information which came with a high monetary price, that informed her of Adams Hathaways' location at the moment. He was said to be at this Palatial Club tonight. And it was the only time I had to see him and possibly plead his understanding face to face before I would receive the court order tomorrow. And although, the idea of coming here didn't sit well with me, I just had to since I'm really desperate. I have never been to a club before, so I don't know how these things work. Thankfully, I have Nicky to guide me. "Let's go," she smiled at me and linked our arms toget

  • It Was, A Beautiful Breakup    3.(Your Bride Is Not Here)

    ARLOWE'S POV It's absolutely ridiculous and unbelievable how my whole life could turn around from bad to worse within just a day. The more I think of it, the more perplexed and horrified I feel. Who would have imagined that I would get into trouble with a man I had never seen or even know what he looks like?Defamation of character and slandering? Ha! Isn't the accusation even heavy in the mouth of that Jonathan Kingston? Probably, the walls now have ears. Since it seems words I said in my anger and frustration, while at Eric's place, has now somehow found a way to get me in a deep shit hole. Just some days ago, I had yelled back at Eric in my anger over the ill-manner he was treating me and had asked him to go find the source of his problems and sort it out, and that he stopped pouring his aggressions on me. In my words, I had said, "I am not the cause of your frustrations, Eric. Go find that mysterious zillionaire cousin of yours whom you feel threatened by that you

  • It Was, A Beautiful Breakup    2.(Your Bride Is Not Here)

    ARLOWE'S POV Some hours later, I arrived my family home in Seattle and my family's coldness towards me was even worse than ever before. Apparently, the news already reached them even before I did. Grandfather must have received the news already. It was obvious that once the marriage was ever over, the business alliance between both families was over too, as well as all the goodies that came with partnering with the Hathaways' Starlight Group of Companies. Grandfather's icy blue eyes stared piercingly at me and I immediately knelt before him with teary eyes. "I'm so sorry grandfather, I tried to stay back and save my marriage but Eric was so determined to throw me out." I apologized even though I did nothing wrong. "I told you she would bring nothing but shame to this family," Kennedy, my mother's older sister said as she walked in the living room and went to stand behind her father. "You're just like your mother. No, you're much more worse than her. I would never have

    ARLOWE’S POV “Eric please, you must reconsider. You can’t do this to me! You’re ruining my life!” I pleaded with tears running down my cheeks. But my husband wasn’t even paying me the slightest bit of attention as he tossed my luggage at me, not minding how the boxes rolled down the stairs to fall at my feet. “This marriage is over, Arlowe. Take your things and get out of my house. I never want to see you again.” He coldly stated as he turned around to return to his room. However, I couldn’t let him do this to me without a fight. My family would never forgive me. I would become an outcast in society. I hurried after him and held his shirt, “Hubby please don’t do this to me. I promise not to complain over anything again. You can bring in whomever you want to the house and do whatever you please with them. I won’t disturb or argue anymore, just please don’t abandon me. Please, babe,” I looked up at him with teary eyes, but his cold obsidian eyes glared back unflinchingly at
