Se connecter**Tessa**I didn’t know if it was good fortune or whatever shit was going on with me in that moment, but this time when Gerald asked me out, he didn’t do it in a normal relationship way. I swear he wanted me to have a ring and at the same time be his girlfriend, and this time I said yes.I know I was finding it so hard to accept, but it wasn’t my fault that I felt what I felt for the man.I knew that he loved me more than words could express, and I loved him too. I didn’t plan on letting him go anytime soon.Isabella was the most happy when I broke the news to her after she had gone back to Zade, and even though she felt like it was too fast, she was still happy for me.I had told Gerald that I wasn’t going to talk about marriage now, but I was going to be his girlfriend, and once again he didn’t push it.Isabella’s wedding was coming up, and I was the most excited for it, but yet I still couldn’t bring myself to accept the invitation.Somehow, I didn’t know why I still felt reluctant
**Tessa**The graduation party had finally ended, and now I was going back home with Nicolas and Isabella.I made sure my kids attended even though Nicolas wasn’t a sole supporter of it. I didn’t want them to miss it. They were the real reasons why I was graduating now, and I loved it for them.By the time we finally arrived home, Nicolas had already arranged a welcome party for me.I smiled like a little baby when I got out of the car and saw what he had done, but the most excited were Ayra and Jaxon. Jaxon clung tightly to Nicolas, while Ayra wouldn’t let go of either Louisa or Isabella, and I understood that she had grown close to them.“Congrats, my love. You finally graduated, and I’m so proud of you.”“Thank you, brother.”Nicolas looked at me as if I had said the weirdest thing, but he still didn’t say a damn word. He just walked away.He was able to grab both Ayra and Jaxon away while I stood watching them walk away.“I can’t believe you graduated.”“Why?”“Well, you’ve shown
**Two years later****Tessa**I tried to fix the buttons of my top, but both Ayra and Jaxon were trying to get on my nerves really badly.Jaxon was running towards me while Ayra had tears in her eyes as she approached me with the doll she held so closely to herself.“Mommy, Jaxon wouldn’t stop bugging me. He keeps telling me that I look like a potato.”I almost burst into laughter, but at the same time, I held back that laugh as I stared at her.Jaxon, on the other hand, didn’t seem to care about what his sister had just said. My eyes were getting a bit blurry, but I still laughed.For the hundredth time, I picked up Ayra and moved her to my chest.“We both know you’re so pretty, Ayra. You look just like your mommy, with those pretty curly hairs that almost make you look like a princess. No child in this world is ugly or a potato, and so you’re not. Your brother is just trying to get on your nerves. Do not give him that attention. You’re a princess, and princesses do not cry.”She smi
**Tessa**The doctor in charge had dilated me, but yet the contractions were much heavier than any pain I had ever felt in my entire life.Every moment of it felt like torture, and the pains were just enough to send me off the edge, but that wasn’t enough.Isabella kept rubbing my legs at the doctor’s intervals, and each time she would kiss my forehead and tell me that all of it would be over in a moment.My eyes were watery, and I felt like cursing out from the pains I felt. It was much worse than anything I had ever felt in my entire life, and I wished that each moment of it would end.Nicolas walked out of the room. I could hear him speaking to the doctor as he paced around restlessly.“How long do you think she’s going to be feeling all that pain?”“Maybe she could give birth in an hour,” the doctor responded.“Fuck, an hour? My God, that’s too long. She’s in so much pain, and she has to wait for an hour.”“Nic,” I called. My voice was tired and frail from the extreme contractions
**Nine months later********Tessa******I moved slowly, trying to let the weight of everything rush down on me, but yet I felt so heavy.Isabella wouldn’t stop rubbing my legs and trying to comfort me in the little ways that she could, but I wasn’t taking any of that.Different pains still shot right through me, and I didn’t know how much more I had in me before I totally lost it.What more did I think I needed to do? It was nothing.My legs felt weak and tired to walk, my back arched like it was going to collapse, my lips felt dry, and both of my contractions were beginning to push in.I closed my eyes again and wished that all of this was some sort of bad dream. It wasn’t finally happening.Isabella finally stood up and walked out of the room restlessly.“Nicolas, the baby is coming. You need to hurry!” I heard her scream at the top of her voice.In an instant, Nic was bursting through that door. The terrified look on his face was exactly why I didn’t want him here.In his defense,
*******Killian*******Luca looked at me like I had gone mad for the first time, but this time I didn’t mind what he thought of me. I had so many things I thought about myself, and none of them included caring about all the horrible things going through his mind in this moment.Zade stood far away. He kept watching me from a distance, but I didn’t care. I loved the fact that he didn’t come close. He might find it funny, but I genuinely didn’t find it funny, and I didn’t plan on letting it go anytime soon.“You shouldn’t have done that,” Zade told me as he handed me the clothes, and I cleaned off every blood stain on my hands.“The fucker deserves to be dead anyway. It’s not like he should be alive after trying to go against me.”Zade sighed, but the scene in front of him made him even more uncomfortable as he moved closer to tap my shoulder.It had been a whole fucking month since Tessa left me.At first, all I wanted was to respect her wish, knowing that I caused her so much pain, and
