Tiffany "Okay, ma'am", I can urgently customize a card for you but it may charge more. Like 20 bucks", the woman in the gift store says. I have already got red roses worth 25 bucks and it seems to be pretty good. I already covered the price.I don't know if buying red roses for a guy is a good idea. I never saw any girl doing that. Maybe, rarely. Also, maybe he has gotten roses from women before. He's been into dating people for more than a decade and it's the first time for me. For me, it's the first time I'm buying roses for anyone. For a man. And it's really a big thing for me. A way to tell him that he's the only person who ever existed on this earth who made me feel different about myself and made me believe that I am worthy of much more than I think I do. I deserve to be appreciated by others. It's not always the self-love we need. "Ma'am", the woman calls me, dragging me out of my thoughts. "Are you okay with this?""Yes, please", I say excitedly as the woman gives me a thi
Three minutes ago.Tiffany I come out of the Uber and take a deep breath while holding the bouquet with the card with my note written on it. The woman has really done a fine job to decorate it beautifully. I'm excited, also nervous at the same time, still wondering if he would like me to show up without letting him know. What if it feels like crossing a boundary to him? However, as far as I have known Sebastian he's the sweetest. At least, to me. I have seen him putting on a poker and cold face in public, especially when we're not together. Alone. I carry the bouquet and walk towards his small house, my heart beating faster. As I reach the door, I find it open. That's strange. But also good that I can just go inside and surprise him. I peek inside. From the door, I can only see the narrow corridor which leads to the living room. I step inside, holding all my excitement inside, and keep walking. It's really silly of me that I figured out he was in the living room by his cologne. Th
TiffanyEnough of this shit! I curse under my breath while trying to collect the broken pieces of my heart because no one actually isn't accountable to do that. It was my fault. The whole time. To expect something more than a casual hook up which he failed to explain to me or maybe he had thought I would not like that idea and decided not to openly discuss that. How can I even think that suddenly a guy would be so serious about me out of the blue? A guy I didn't know eight days ago. I should stop being invested in all these anymore. "Okay. So, what will you have for dinner?" I ask Ryan and Kevin with a big smile. When the smile is fake and the pain is enormous, maybe people strive to smile more than usual.That's what happens to me and I realise that by the way both of them look at me, confused."Tiff, you should take a rest. Tamara will make dinner for us today", Kevin says."But I have to assist her. Don't I? She's wild with spices and you two don't love it at all", I chuckle and
Tiffany He's just in front of my eyes, looking straight at me with that gaze that makes my heart twist. I take a step back as he lowers his eyes and presses his lips together as if he's unable to look into my eyes. All of a sudden, those flashes hit me again. I clench my fist, gazing at him with all the agony I was holding inside. Then I start walking towards the gate as fast as possible. Why is he here? Why now? Where was he when I was hurting like hell the entire day?Yes, he was obviously drinking and fucking around with Thea. "Tiffany!" I hear his voice chasing me and force my legs to walk faster toward the car."Tiffany, please stop!" he pleads and the next moment he reaches me, clasping my arm. I feel a shiver down my spine as he pulls me closer to him, turning me around but I jerk his hand off. He hesitantly looks away as if regretting touching me like that. I gaze straight at him as our eyes meet. The way he just stares at me like that, as if he's guilty and hurt too,
Thea "Are you serious? I have been waiting for an hour in your fucking office. And you just disappeared without letting your staff know. I'm not so available to wait for an fucking hour", I lash out at Sebastian when he walks into the cabin and straight comes to his desk, roughly shoving some stuff aside.He doesn't utter a word and acts like I don't even exist. "I'm talking to you", I grunt.He finally looks at me with a cold glare, making me mum on the spot. "Oh, you have some important work to do apart from just fucking around, Mrs Fox? Then why don't you just do that instead of working a bit for your own mess", he shrugs. "Ugh! You're in a mood today. Why are you lashing out at me?" I scoff, watching him frustratedly slumping on the chair. He looks freaked out. "What's wrong? You got something about this case? Are Christian or his lawyer up to something on the next hearing?" I ask nervously since I have no clue what they are up to. We haven't come face to face ever since. "
Tiffany Sebastian's words make my stomach churn and deliver goosebumps all over my body. I grip my phone tightly, catching my breath as I had lost it for a while. His words are still buzzing inside my head, fresh and loud. I feel my heart thudding faster. It causes my chest to ache but I gulp down. "I know I'm sounding crazy. But I think— I have—" he chokes. "I have literally gone crazy for you. I can't tell you how I passed these two days""You think it was worse than what I have been through, Sebastian?" I grunt."I didn't mean that", his voice shivers. "I know. I know that I hurt you in the worst way possible but it didn't go well with me either, Tiffany", he says, huffing."You know what? I don't care anymore. If you think you can lure me with your sweet words again, you're fucking wrong. Go and chant this scripted monologue to other women that will trust you", I spit out of frustration.It's not that my heart didn't race faster when he confessed this. It's not that my heart did
Ivanna Three days have never felt this long. We have nothing in our hands except for some truths and witnesses who can't help us at all. Jarred seemed to have disappeared in thin air. Looks like he never existed. Kane has been working his ass off to hunt him down. Among all this, life seems to be so normal, except it's not. Christian's company had started losing funds due to the pressure of some agencies supporting Thea. It's strange that those women who support her just because she's a woman have no clue about the things that have happened. They aren't supporting her because she might be a victim. They are supporting her because she's a woman. They had enough social media posts with Christian's picture attached, "Look what a giant man he is. And look at the woman. Who do you think can force the strength?" It made my blood boil but also made me laugh at the stupidity of people. Things kept going out of hand. "We know such businessmen think they can get away with anything a
Tiffany I come out of Sebastian's grip right away as he rolls his eyes. "So, I can see everything is sorted, ha?" Thea's smirk widens. I find it better to avoid and get started to make a quick snack.However, Thea walks slowly towards us. I'm in zero mood to listen to her nonsense anyway. "See ya! I told you", I hear her saying with a sarcastic tone. "You just need to apologise a couple of times and emotional blackmail always works. Especially for a woman like Tiffany. No?" My heart wrenches as I look up at Sebastian with disbelief. He was already staring at me. My hand is still in his grip as he squeezes my hand and shakes his head NO slightly, his eyes screaming at me to not believe her.And out of the blue, I feel like I trust him. Everything he had been doing for the past two days, I can't accept that those efforts were fake by any means. Sebastian shifts his eyes back to Thea with a deadly glare. "Oops! Sorry, I'm not messing it up again", Thea grins and looks at me. "Are y
