Walking into the Dynamite bar, Taylor jerkins held her head high,the black curvy tight fitting dress she wore suited her like a second skin.
Her slender shape and round face complimented her well.
She'd come to forget, to let loose, and to leave Wade's betrayal behind.
As she joined her friends at the table, Eilen's gaze swept over Taylor's outfit, a slow smile spreading across her face. "Taylor's gonna be the center of attraction tonight," she said, handing Taylor a glass of wine.
Taylor's eyes flashed with anger as she thought of Wade, but she pushed the image away, focusing on the music and laughter instead. She poured herself a shot, the liquid glinting in the dim light, and downed it in one swift motion. The burn was satisfying.
Mia giggled, her eyes sparkling with amusement. "Vent out your frustrations, Tay!"
Eilrn Shaked her head, " Wade is so stupid "
" I don't want to talk about Wade " Taylor's breath hitched.
Seeing her boyfriend on bed with her step sister had been so traumatic.
She could not help but think of all the things she'd done for Wade.
She poured herself another shot, another and another.
Till she felt light headed.
Dynamite's bar was celebrating their grand opening today, there would be enough to drink, to eat, and the music would be heard all over town.
Taylor appreciated the drinking part, she was already on her tenth glass.
She was ready to join the dance floor.
She was going to dance and have fun.
Wade and Amelia could not take this away from her.
With head held high, Taylor walked to the dance floor.
Someone grabbed her from behind and as she turned.
Wade!
What was he doing here?
" Listen to me Taylor" he rasped.
" I want us to talk"
with all her strength, she pushed away from his hold.
" Stay away from me"
Wade was not going to take no for an answer.
He'd been doing her a huge favour by dating her, and he was not done.
" Get away from me Wade, we're done and over!"
Taylor was ready to shout it to the world.
" I've been doing you a favour by going out with you"
An infuriated wade could not hold it in anymore.
"You're not worth anything!
" Ariel is much better"
Ariel was Taylor's half sister.
She'd always stolen everything Taylor was ever interested in.
Holding back the tears gathering in her eyes.
She thought of a way out.
She could never give Wade the satisfaction of seeing her break.
Taylor took a good look at Wade, she wondered what she saw in him.
Wade was average in looks with loose copper hair, smug face, and big brown eyes.
"Let's not make a scene Taylor, let's fix this"
Not only was he average.
He was manipulative.
She wanted to get away from him.
"I have a boyfriend Wade, we'll never get back together"
"You're lying!"
Wade was certain that Taylor was bluffing, she could not find someone so quickly.
Could she?
"Cut the crap Taylor" he ran his hands over his hair.
"You don't have anyone" he said.
She stared at him for a few seconds, she'd already devised a plan:"
Looking around, she spotted a tall handsome man in a black shirt and jeans and felt a surge of relief.
She moved to him, already feeling so dizzy from the drinks she'd consumed, it levelled up her confidence.
Her hands reached out for his collar, and she tiptoed to his height.
Closing her eyes, she kissed him.
She lingered, tasting his lips, to make it more believable.
Pulling away from his lips, she wrapped her hands around his shoulder.
"I've been waiting for you" she said, observing the man's charming eyes.
Taylor was satisfied when she Saw Wade walking away.
Turning to the man, she gave him a Charming smile.
As Taylor turned, she was dragged back, her body slammed to the man's chest, and he circled his arms around her waist.
"Where are you going? The man asked
" Uhmm..I.... " Taylor was speechless, her legs wobbly.
"You used my lips pretty"
His husky baritone voice melted her.
"I... how much do you want? Taylor stuttered.
"I want you, I want to taste your sugar lips again"
"What?!
" You kissed me,
His voice was enough to get her weak in the knees.
Somewhere in the bar, the music had been turned on, Everyone was dancing to sway by Michael Buble.
Taylor did not know how to get herself out of this situation, not with this attractive man staring at her with charming eyes, and voice, that was making her body feel things.
The man's lips curled into a smile as if he knew the effects he was having on Taylor.
"Sway with me" he whispered in her ears.
Taylor was lost, in his breath, his gaze, his voice, and the fact that he was very attractive.
His hands were all over her as she swayed to the beat.
She relaxed in his hold, allowing herself to move freely, to clung to him.
Taylor reveled in the sensation, the man's hands were magic, he was touching her everywhere, pulling her so close.
It was nothing but a sensual dance.
More of touching, pulling, threading her hands slowly sgainst her skin.
For once, Taylor did not regret her choice to go with this dress, nor did she acknowledge the small voice whispering that this man could be the end of her.
That those seductive eyes, that those full lips, that his sweet breath mingled with that of whiskey was leading her to a destructive path.
His lips were so sweet, and she could not stop staring at it as he swayed her to the song.
She turned, returning to his arms, and his kiss welcomed her this time, stealing her breaths away.
The kiss was fierce, it commanded every nerves in her body, she surrendered to his mouth.
Surrendered to his lips devouring her's, to his tongue tasting her, pushing it's way deep into her throat.
You hate me right? You wanted me dead, you hate me so much, are you not satisfied, you've taken Wren, what more do you want from me?Taylor thought she saw a flicker of emotions in Amelia's eyes."I want everything that makes you happy" Taylor might have imagined whatever look of emotion she saw, right now there was no hint of emotion or remorse in those eyes. Taylor was tired of the constant fights,was tired of Amelia always trying to ruin her life.Amelia had taken everyone and verything that she liked ever since they were kids, and Taylor had forgiven her for it every single time, yet she was not satisfied.It was no news to Taylor that Amelia hated her but she did not think that Amelia would go to this extent of almost drowning her.She shuddered at the thought of what would have been if Zan hadn't showed up on time.The image of him , his wet curls, the leather jacket flashed in her head.Taylor pushed away the thoughts, her eyes on Amelia who was watching her curiously."What
Zan Dalmonte ran his hands over his curls, his eyes fixed on Taylor.There was a lot of things going through his mind all at once.He remembered, she was the one, the one he'd been looking for, she was here in front of him in a completely different state.He locked eyes with her, different emotions twirling all at once.If the case was different, he could never accept this, he didn't want a child nor a family, he would pay her off to take the child as far from him as possible.He wouldn't not in this state, his parents were concerned about an heir, he'd been through so much already, this Could shut them up.He could not make any rash decisions at the point.So he stared into her eyes*Will you marry me? He ask.The shock in her face, Zan was sure that she did not see this coming—apparently he'd taken her by suprise.Her eyes widened, Zan definitely had the upper hand, the ball was rolling in her courts."Do you want to marry me? " Do you really want....to ma....marry me? Taylor stamm
"This will take a few minutes ma'am" the nurse smiled warmly.Taylor was terrified..She did not want any of this, she wanted to be as far away from zan Dalmonte as quickly as possible."I..." Taylor was going to refuse the offer."I'm sorry, she won't take long, I need to make sure you're okay" Zan's eyes were on her again, that deep smooth voice once again keeping her on her toes.Taylor followed the nurse who led her to the comfy bed.Zan's eyes were on her, and Taylor was anxious as the nurse placed the sethoscope on her.Taylor closed her eyes."You're good to go" the nurse hunged the sethoscope on her neck."You should be more careful ma'am, especially in this condition""Is something wrong? Zan's eyes widened." No.... " Taylor started to speak but the nurse interrupted her." She's fine, the baby's fine too "Zan's eyes narrowed.Taylor moved away from those beautiful curious eyes.Well she had to leave now.She stood up and met his gaze."Thank you... I....""How much? He int
"There's something I want you to know, I feel like you should know this, it might help you in the future, it's really important"Little Taylor listened attentively, whatever her mother was dying to say felt really important.Turning her heart away from the children playing, she focused on her mother."When I was carrying you in my womb, a lot of things happened, a lot of people were against me giving birth to you.."Taylor did not understand.How would anyone not want a sweet beautiful girl like her.Nevertheless, she listened as her mother continued. "I chosed you over them, because I love you very much, I do not regret bringing you to this world."In life, there's a whole lot of choices, I can choose what to have and what not to, the most important thing is following your heart, even in the face of the most difficult choices, choose what your heart says, what your heart whispers to you" The moment Taylor opened her eyes. She saw him towering over her, a look of concern on his face
"you're not going to eat, not in this house! "You're going to go to whoever is responsible for the child you're carrying"Taylor winced in pain.The last two days had been stressful, her stepmother and step sister had been treating her like an outcast.Her father too avoided and did not intervene in the case.Taylor was dejected, she was hungry, and frustrated.She had been dismissed from her workplace by her boss for refusing his sexual advances.Taylor did not have anybody to run to, nobody to ask for help from.She could not continue like this.Not with the life growing inside of her.How was she going to cope?A knock on the door brought her back to reality.She went to the door, an old lady smiled at her."Here's an invitation, my daughter left it, she's gone back to LA, can you go on her behalf? The woman smiled.Taylor thought for a while."I.. can't..""Please" the old lady interrupted."There's no one I want to give it to, I could only think of you, it's a special ticket, pl
"How could you? He thundered." I... I.. " Taylor was at loss for words, this was not how she planned to tell them.How did they find out?Why was the file on the table?Taylor's eyes darted to Amelia.The witch had a sly smile on her face.There was nothing she could do, she had to face them with the truth."Your beloved daughter is nothing but a shame! She's gotten herself pregnant"Her step mother was quick to interrupt with venomous words."Our reputation is ruined! Her father's eyes were cold as it settled on her."You'll fix this Taylor, you'll get rid of it"Taylor's heart rebelled."I will not!" You will, you loose whore" her stepmother butted in.Taylor bit back the retort that sprang to her lips, aware that Amelia's hypocrisy was a sore spot she couldn't press.This woman knew of her daughter's transgressions, knew how she slept with different men.Amelia was a whore, a full time whore." Three days Taylor, if you don't fix this, I'll kick you out!There was no single hint
