Chapter 29
I smile seeing Nathan carrying baby Ethan around as the entire family and all my friends had come over to meet him. Joseph and Mary’s happiness had no limits, he was after all their first grandchild. I don’t think I’ve ever been so happy in my life ever.
I can’t believe what a plot twist Nathan was.
I remember the first time I saw him in high school, in the corridor, never had I imagined that it would lead to this.
“Hey Elizabeth!” I turn around to see Danika smiling, I hugged her with happiness.
Yes, after I forgave her, we actually got along and became friends.
“I thought you said you we

Victoria FoxI was lost in my thoughts when I heard the doorbell ring. I quickly turned off the oven before the cookies started burning. I was baking cookies for my close friend, who I guess is now my fiance, we were going to celebrate Christmas together.He was there for me when I was at the lowest point in my life, we gradually started dating. Even though I never felt sparks with him, I was comfortable, knowing that he wouldn’t hurt me. I was surprised when he proposed last week. I wasn’t in love with him but I knew I had no energy to fall in love again. It happened once and destroyed me completely.I headed towards the door while wiping off some flour from my cheek. As soon as I opened my door I locked eyes with my husband, who I thought was the love of my life while he looked at me as a sheer business deal.It tore me apart because I knew we will never happen, but it broke me when I saw that he didn’t even try, as he was all I ever wanted.Victo

Victoria Fox"Is this some kind of a sick joke? I am engaged!" I said with an appalled expression.He looked at me, showing no expressions on his beautiful face and said,"No! You're married to me, so technically I have the right to ask you for a kiss.""Why are you doing this?" I whispered almost to myself.The car halted and nostalgia washed over me as I looked out of the window. Aaron opened my door and offered his hand, I ignored it and stepped out of the car.The mansion looked exactly the same, obviously. He is never around anyways. He frowned a bit when I refused his hand but then walked ahead as I entered the mansion after five years."Where is Gloria?" I asked him with a raised eyebrow. Hopefully she is still around. I miss her and the delicious food she makes."It's winter, she is with her family to celebrate Christmas." He stated.Wait.Oh crap!I am supposed to meet Ben today.We were supposed to cele

Victoria FoxI wake up in an unfamiliar environment, okay wait, this is not my room. That’s when all the memories come crashing down which makes me groan in frustration. Aaron did let me text Ben that I had a work emergency so I had to bail on him but I’ll see him tomorrow, he had the nerve to laugh at my face and tell me he is not letting me go anywhere.Later, we got into a pretty huge fight which made me so angry that I locked up all the bedrooms in the house, including his where I slept, forcing him to crash on the living room couch.I quickly got out of my bed and realized it was the same room I wept my eyes out five years ago, when he left me. It was very unsettling for me to be here. I brushed my teeth and headed downstairs to confront Aaron and leave once and for all.As I headed downstairs, I saw Aaron stretching his arms as he woke up, SHIRTLESS!! He winced a little before standing up, his back is probably hurting. I tried to look anywhere other tha

Victoria FoxAs I come face to face with Aaron, I hand over the phone to Steve who says, “Thank you for returning my phone, Mrs Riverwood.” He mocks me as he walks away.“Don’t call me that!“ I yell but he was gone already by then. I look at Aaron who has an amused look on his face.“If calling Benjamin was your big plan then I feel sorry for you because that man can hardly handle his own life.” He says as he motions me to walk with him back to the house.“You are technically not his boss, he works for one of the companies where you are just a shareholder.” I point out as I reluctantly start walking with him.“Well ‘technically’ I can do whatever I want as no one is going to challenge me to save your little Benny’s job. If I ask them to fire him, they’d gladly do me a favour.” He says in a sarcastic tone.Before I could reply in an attempt to insult him, he changes the subject, ”Anyways, Grandma wants to meet us today so we have gone over to their

Victoria Fox“What the hell were you thinking? You just grab me and kiss me?” I asked, fuming, as we entered his house after the long day at his grandparents’ house.“Yes, it was a bad idea but it worked, right?” He asked more like stated. It did work, Mary completely stopped asking questions after she caught us and was also a bit awkward around us. I was happy that now Joseph wouldn’t find out but kissing him was wrong, and-Oh my god! I cheated on Benjamin. I kissed him back, not only that, I even shamelessly enjoyed it.I am a bitch.“Aaron, you have to let me out of this house! This can never work! You can’t lock me in here forever. This act that you have been putting on for years about not feeling anything, being a stone-hearted person is not going to work on me. I can see right through you!” I yelled at him and he just looked at me, analyzing me, like he was trying to understand something.“I am sorry, you can go to your restaurant to work,

Aaron RiverwoodI sat in my cabin, trying to stop thinking about Victoria. She thought I never showed any physical affection towards her because I wasn’t attracted to her but I was, maybe a little too much. She was the first woman who enticed me after Katrine left me but I didn’t dared to do anything to her. I knew if I kiss her I won’t be able to stop.That’s what happened. That one kiss fucked me up!Her skin touching mine, the thought of it just drives me crazy.What is this woman doing to me?I was kind of sure what this woman would do to me if I ever let her in. She is completely unexplainable, she is everything a guy would want: crazy, sexy, funny and absolutely unpredictable.I didn’t like her much during our childhood, she was a spoilt brat who always got what she wanted. She was the only child so she was pampered a lot. I, on the other hand had strict parents who made sure that I was always respectful and happy with whate

Victoria FoxAs I was getting ready for the ball today, I realized how truly nervous I was. I was going to meet Katrine after 6 whole years. I don’t know what I am going to do but I know I have to protect Aaron from her. She is a monster and what she did to him was unacceptable.After the mind-numbingly pleasurable encounter with Aaron, I didn’t know what to do. I don’t remember how long I stayed lying there in the kitchen as I felt like all my brain cells were dead.When I did leave the kitchen, Aaron was actually setting up the couch to sleep on it. He told me that tomorrow he’ll get one of the guest rooms cleaned out where he will sleep till I am ready to share a bed with him. I didn’t say anything to him but I was actually very happy, the couch was not at all comfortable. My back still hurts.He was being unbearably sweet towards me, almost like he was trying to woo me which made my plan so much more difficult. I know Aaron suffered a lot due to his manip

Victoria Fox“Landon, come on help me out!” I make the same request for the fourth time but he continues to eat the tiramisu without paying any heed towards me.After Landon caught us kissing last night, we decided to call it a night. Meeting Katrine, her confession and then our heated make out session was enough of a roller coaster for one day.We had a brief conversation with Landon and soon left the party, but before leaving the party I took Landon aside when Aaron was busy bidding farewell to the hosts. I asked him to come visit me at the restaurant because I have an important thing to discuss, to which he agreed thankfully.“Landon, you need to get off that high horse and tell me if you have any loop holes in this contract.” I whisper yell at him as he takes his last bite.I continue staring at him angrily as he almost purposely wipes his hands awfully slow, and then gives me a look,” Victoria, you have always been a dear friend and you should know
