Thank you for reading🫶
Nicole. It has been five days since the kids left to stay with Jackson, and during that time, I have seen them three times. The only way I know they are safe and not being mistreated is by picking them up after preschool. I've heard stories from Luna and Lucas, and it seems they like their new grandma; she isn't mean to them like I had thought. However, that doesn't mean things won’t change. Right now, I can’t wait for this week to be over so I can get my babies back. Rowan and I have been going on dates quite often, and I can honestly say that I made the right decision in agreeing to be his girlfriend. Just as my mom said, I wouldn’t know if I would be happy or get my heart broken if I didn’t take that step forward, and now I’m glad I did. Rowan has been nothing but loving and caring—he has always been that way, but having him as a boyfriend is a bonus. Tonight, I planned to surprise him by making dinner for us. It’s like a date, but instead of going out, we’ll be enjoying
Rowan.“Okay,” I answered.“I met her weeks ago at the restaurant when Chloe and I were having lunch with the kids,” I said, waiting for her to continue without interrupting.“She told me to stay away from her boyfriend.” Her eyes suddenly locked onto mine. “Which is you. She warned me that she would hurt me if I didn’t do as she said, and I’ve been thinking about it for a while now. Yes, I believed Chloe when she said she wasn’t your girlfriend, but I can’t help but dwell on it, Rowan. So, I really want to know who this woman is to you.”From everything she said, the only thing I picked up on was that she knew I wouldn’t betray her. However, what I sensed from her question was her insecurity. She thinks that I would cheat on her just like her ex-husband did, but I would never do such a thing.“What’s the name of this woman, baby?” I asked, purposely using the term of endearment to assure her that she is the only one for me.There was only one person I could think of based on her des
Rowan.I have been thinking about this for a while now, not just last night, but I came to the decision to speak about it this morning. That is the reason why I’m here.Right now, I’m currently on my knee, trying to ask her to be my girlfriend for real, hoping she won’t say no. I have loved Nicole for years now, and I can see myself wanting her and staying with her for many more years until we grow old together. I never thought I would feel this way again after that scandal; I stayed away from women after that. But with just one look at her, I knew she was the one.I knew she was the one who would break me out of my cage, the one I wanted to spend the rest of my life with. “I….” She paused, causing my already fast-beating heart to race even faster.Please say yes.Just end my mystery.“Yes, Rowan. I will be your girlfriend.”I froze.I didn’t know how to react after she gave her answer.“Rowie, if you keep staring at me like that, I’ll guess you don’t like my answer, and then I might
Nicole. I made sure to fulfill my promise by stopping at the kids' school before coming to work. I never thought there would be a night aside from that rainy night where I would sleep alone without having my children around. I missed them a lot last night and as much as I want to say I hate this, I can’t. I can’t because this is also good for them, they are getting to know their father after not seeing him for three years. He too deserves the right to know them even though he was an asshole. This morning has been busy, Giselle handed me some files that needed my urgent attention and signature as soon as I came into work. That’s what I have been going through all morning, I’m trying to clear everything up before the kids close from their preschool. Knock. Knock. I instructed her to come in since I already knew it was Giselle. She poked her head inside like she always does when I have an unwanted visitor wanting to see me. “I have someone who’s out here wanting to see you but doe
Jackson.The kids were almost asleep when we arrived home, but as soon as the car stopped moving, they both looked up with wide eyes.“We are home, kids,” I said, and then got out of the car when I heard nothing from them. The only thing I had to do was help them out of their car seats and then call a maid to bring their bags inside.“So…what do you guys think? Do you like it?” I asked, feeling a bit nervous. The only other time I had been this nervous was when Laura's water broke.Luna and Lucas looked at the house and nodded their heads.“It’s pwetty (pretty), Daddy,” Luna spoke up first, and then Lucas added, “And big like Grandma's house.” I couldn’t help but smile at their words. I felt calm knowing they at least liked the house.“Alright, time to come inside and meet your grandma and aunt,” I said. I couldn’t wait to introduce them to Zoe. I knew Zoe would be excited to meet other kids her age.“Grandma?” Luna asked, tilting her head sideways.I picked her up and tried to do th
Laura. I paced around my room, biting my fingernails and glancing at my phone from time to time. This has become my routine over the past week since my meeting with Fiona James. After our discussion, I left to think about her grand plan and to decide whether I wanted to be involved. When I got home, I found out that Nicole had finally granted Jackson permission to see their children. If that wasn't a sign to go along with Fiona's plan, what more did I need? So here I am, waiting for a text or a call from the bastard, but throughout the week, I've received nothing. Nothing! It felt like he was purposely torturing me by not reaching out. I desperately need something from him, but I can't even get that. I couldn't call him, because that would make me seem desperate—even though I was, I wasn't going to show it. It’s been two weeks of waiting, and I'm starting to rethink my decision. What do I do? What do I do? My day has gone from bad to worse. First, I heard from Jackson’s mother t
