“Welcome Mr and Mrs Pierce.” The middle aged man that my husband Jaxon had introduced me to on our wedding day said with a huge smile plastered on his face as he grabbed Jaxon in for a hug.

“It's good to see you Smith, " Jaxon said as they both exchanged their greetings.

I didn’t understand why Jaxon was still bent on attending an event meant for rich business figures when his father’s business had run down, and that would only bring shame to his name if he joined a gathering of people

    ~ARYA~My eyes were becoming teary from the pains i was feeling in my ankle when i was taking off the shoes, but i couldn't say a word. I was reminded quite as he was driving. Just when I thought it was all over and I would get home and get treated, Jaxon stopped by at a store along the road. “What is your shoe size?” He asked me. As he prepared to come down from the car. “Huh..” I paused for a few seconds wondering if he was talking to me. “I Wear a size thirty nine.” I said, still trying to make sense of what was happening. This man confuses me. One minute he is all sweet and gentle and another minute he is all over the place with his anger. With that he left and went into the store and in a few minutes he came back. “Here, put these on.” He said and handed the store bag over to me. I felt relieved that I could wear a slipper instead of a broken heel. I opened the bag to see a box containing a pair of black heels, even higher than the one I was wearing before. Confused, I tu

    ~~“Happy birthday Madam Brinada.” Jaxon said and hugged her as she was the first person we saw when we entered the beautiful castle mansion. “Happy birthday Madam Brinada.” I said and hugged her as well. I had no idea we were attending a birthday party, let alone Madam Brinada’s birthday party. I felt bad coming without any flowers or gifts. “Jaxon! Arya!” She called our names and held us both with our hands in hers. “Thank you for your wishes.” She added with a small smile. “It's been a while since I have seen you.” She continues. “Arya! ” She turned and faced me. “You really forgot about me huh.” She laughed. “Or has Jaxon refused to release you?” She added and I laughed gently as well. “It's not what you think Madam Brinada.” I try to explain to her. “Jaxon and I have been really busy.” I added. “Oh it's fine my darling, trust me when I tell you I know how all these things work.” She was understanding. “It's good you are here now, let's go inside.” She said and turned

    ~ARYA~“Get dressed, you have fourty minutes.” Jaxon said to me the moment I walked through the entrance door of the mansion. He handed a dress over to me and I could see they were styles already waiting for me. “Ok.” I nodded. Without having to go up to my room I sat for whatever it was that I was going to prepare for. The stylist started with my makeup and while we were at it, my manicure was also done. Jaxon was sitting right opposite us and I was feeling a little awkward. Although he didn't pay attention to us. He sat handsomely in his black suit and was on his phone throughout. “Please close your eyes Ma.” The stylist said while working on my eye sides. “Hold on please, can I get some water?” I turned to ask a lady standing beside me. “Ok sure.” She said politely. And with that she came back with a bottle of water in no time. I was feeling exhausted already. Having to spend a few weeks in the hospital and away from the busy lifestyle I was already feeling overwhelmed try

I had no interest in her until one day when I saw walking by the hallway I dropped my basement keys while rushing home and the next day she walked up to me.“Ethan right?”. She smiled beautifully. I never knew my names sounded that nice.“Yes”. I responded. “I saw you rushing off yesterday and you dropped this”. She said and dropped the keys on my table. I had scattered everywhere the previous day looking for those keys. I was not only glad I found them but I was also glad I found love as well. I was lost staring at her and words weren't coming out of my mouth.“Ok, i guess i will leave them here”. She said and withdrew her hand from my desk

    ~ARYA~“My father used to own a refinery company years back before he died on my birthday”. I began to tell Ethan about my life and my family. “I still regret not standing up for myself that day.

    ~ARYA~“Good morning Mrs Arya''. She carried a tray with her as she entered my room. “Good morning nurse Tiana”. I replied with a small smile. “Today I will be taking off your bandages for good”. She tells me. “you have to start therapy classes today and i promise you in no time you will start doing things on your own”. She added. I do believe I might be able to start doing things on my own again. Seeing my progress in the past few days I have been able to move my hands a little better than before. Ok nurse Tiana whatever you say. I responded with a smile. Since I am now able to move better than before it helped me into a sitting position. “ I will take you for X-rays now”. Nurse Tiana said after helping me clean up and serving me a wonderful breakfast. And with that, she helped me sit on my wheelchair, before taking me to the scanning ward. “Mrs Arya, I must say it is a miracle that you are healing well and fast too”. Doctor Max said to me a few minutes after I came out of the
