In Australia, Simmer Down restaurant.Andrea sat down with a smug smile on her face as she stared at her fiance who occupied the seat opposite her. He had called her over the phone that he had something important he wanted to speak to her about.The air was filled with nothing but peace and tranquillity but Philip's silence had started having an effect on her. They had been staring at each other for over 10 minutes and none of them took the initiative to speak.Her curiosity got to the peak, making her break the silence. “ Darling, why did you suddenly call me over to our favourite restaurant? ” Andrea said as she flipped the menu lazily.Philip pressed his lips together and she could tell from his expression that he was tense and put in some sort of pressure.He grabbed hold of her hands making Andrea raise her head from the menu as her gaze returned to his well defined face that seemed like a jade carving. How could someone look this good? That was exactly the thought running through her mind.“ Boo relax, I know we are entering a new phase of our life tomorrow. You know getting married to you has always been my biggest……” before she could come to the end of her speech he cut her off.“ I'm sorry I can't get through with the marriage” he broke the news instantly.He couldn't watch her having forced hope over something that was now impossible.Andrea burst into laughter “ boo you know how to make jokes now huh? you know this is not funny ” she said.Philip remained silent for a while thinking on how to place his words he didn't want to sound harsh.“ Andrea, I'm serious, I'm calling off the wedding, ” he said again with a straight face.The smile on Andrea face slowly faded, tears were already welling up in her eyes.“ Is this some kind of expensive joke, huh Philip? ” she said with a hoarse voice. She suddenly felt as if there was a lump stuck in her throat.She couldn't be bothered by the people staring at her right now.“ why? Tell me did I do something wrong? I promise to change, please just say something, ” she said, gripping his hand as if he was about to run away.Philip yanked his hands from her grip, he turned his head slightly away from her.“ I really need an explanation of what is going to happen to all the preparations we made. I mean the hall, the guests, the food……”“ The wedding is going to take place but not with you, ” he announced.Andrea froze, the tears she had been holding back began to fall on her cheeks.“ not with me? Who and what are you talking about? ” she asked with a crushed voice.She couldn't help but ask all the questions her brain could come up with,her mind was currently in anarchy.Before Philip could speak they heard the sounds of a lady's heels beating the ground, the sounds of the footsteps approached them and slowly came to a halt. “ I will answer all your questions dear Andrea ” she heard a familiar voice rang in her ear.She abruptly raised her head and as she had thought it was her younger sister Lisa.Andrea's gaze flickered in confusion. “ What's going on here? ” she said as she watched Lisa wrap her arm around Philip's neck.Lisa turned to her with a smug smile “ Philip Myers and Lisa Graham are getting married tomorrow that's the latest news ” she said.Andrea suddenly rose from her seat “ what nonsense are you talking about Lisa ” she said raising her voice.Lisa turned to Philip as she pouted her lip like a kid that was wronged.“ won't you say something ” she said coquettishly as she stroked his hair tenderly.“ I'm getting married to Philip and that's it ” Lisa said again.Andrea became infuriated; she abruptly raised her hand and hit Lisa on the face. “ smack! ”“How could you betray your own sister? I have never done anything to offend you, have always treated you better than anyone and you stabbed me in the back “ Andrea yelled.Philip's silence only made her more furious and she could feel her blood boiling already.Andrea raised her hand to hit her for the second time but this time Philip grabbed her hand and swung a slap across her face.”smack! “Andrea widened her eyes from shock as she held her cheeks in disbelief. Lisa gasped from shock she was astonished when Philip suddenly hit Andrea on the face truth be told she was quite delighted.” Philip, do you know what you are doing? It's me, your Andrea, “ she said with a choked voice.” Shut up, how dare you hit the mother of my unborn child “ he roared angrily like he was about to bring down the roof.Andrea froze for a second. She felt like a bomb went off in her head. Her mind was in blondas as his words just now rang again in her ears.Her gaze travelled to Lisa's stomach and she could feel her hands shaking, she was overwhelmed with sorrow and rage at the same time.She glanced at the both of them standing next to each other with their hands interlocked. She began to retract her steps as her tears kept sliding down her cheeks. She couldn't even notice the gaze of the onlookers in the restaurant. The manager had come out when he heard loud noises a while ago. Knowing it was the Graham's and Myers he didn't dare go over or interfere in their affairs.Andrea grabbed her bag and ran away. She didn't even have anywhere in mind; she just wanted to go far away from anything that would remind her of this incident. She ran as far as her legs could carry her.After running for more than five minutes she stopped to catch her breath. She placed her hands on her chest that was thumping crazily, to her surprise she still had a heart, she had thought her heart had shattered a while ago.She was in no mood to go home; she just wanted to drown herself in her sorrows. She flagged a taxi weakly.” Magic bar ale house” she said with a hoarse voice.The driver nodded, she got in and he took away.Arriving at the bar, she walked over to the counter.“ Give me a shot of tequila please, ” she said to the bar man.He nodded and placed it on the counter,she took it in one go. “ Another shot, ” she said.He gave her and she gulped it down at once for the second time, wrinkling her face slightly from the strong taste.“one more “” again ”“ again”Soon she became drunk to stupor,she could hardly sit still. She had a poor alcohol tolerance and she wasn't the one who fancied these things but today she just wanted to.A man in a black hoodie and casual black pants approached her and sat next to her. He glanced at Andrea who was dancing to the beat of the song drunkenly with her cheeks all rosy.He tapped her on the shoulder lightly. “ Can I have a drink with you? ” he asked politely.His voice was deep and magnetic; it sounded so pleasing in the ear, making Andrea turn around to look at him. She couldn't even see his face clearly. Her vision was already blurry, nevertheless she grinned foolishly “ uh-huh. Cheers! ” she clinked glasses with him.She gulped down her drink in one go. “ you know today I found out my own sister is pregnant with my fiance, that sucks right? ” she said pointing to her chest as she laughed bitterly.The man didn't say a word, he was only listening to her silently. His black hoodie was covering half of his face no one could tell what he clearly looked like.She abruptly grabbed the bottle he was drinking from and drank from it. “ I'm sorry ” she said as she tittered.She suddenly burst into tears “ how could the two people dear to me do something so vile” she said leaning her head on his chest in a languid manner.The man lowered his head and his gaze travelled to her red cherry like lips that looked bewitching and alluring. The way she kept licking her lips once in a while only made it worse.He raised her chin slightly and they engaged in a fiery kiss.Andrea gave in to him willingly and she began to reciprocate his kisses as she wrapped her arm around his neck.His kisses were very urgent, he kept kissing her till her lips turned hot and swollen but it only intensified the desire, his hands grabbed hold of her solid ass and he squeezed it tightly. While devouring her lips, he swept her off her feet and took her upstairs.At the crescent wood residence, the garden was dashingly decorated for the sip and see party of Sean and Andrea's son, where friends and family gathered to welcome the baby. Andrea was dressed in matching blue outfits with her son, while the twins matched with Sean. The smiles on their faces were evident and blissful. Andrea climbed the stage with her son in her arms; he was the exact replica of herself, with black hair and green emerald eyes, just like hers.Sean was jealous at first, but thought it was fair since the twins looked exactly like him. Andrea stepped up to the microphone, her hands trembling slightly as she adjusted it to her height. The air was thick with anticipation. She took a deep breath, trying to calm her nerves, and began to speak."Good day, everyone," she said, her voice steady but laced with emotion. "First and foremost, I'd like to thank each and every one of you present for standing by me, Sean, and the kids during our hard times. It means a lot to us that
The doctor transferred Andrea to the VIP ward as per Sean's instructions, where she lay motionless on the bed, her porcelain skin looking like alabaster and her chapped lips a faint reminder of her struggles. The soft hum of machines and the gentle beeps of monitors surrounded her, a stark contrast to the chaos that had erupted just days ago.Sean sat beside her, his eyes fixed on her face as he held her hand tightly. It had been two long days since she'd last opened her eyes, and the uncertainty was eating away at him. "It's a brand new day, baby," he whispered, his voice low and husky. "Won't you open your eyes for me?"As he spoke, his phone vibrated in his pocket, breaking the silence. He reluctantly released Andrea's hand and rose from the stool, his gaze lingering on her pale face, before he stepped out into the hospital corridor."Boss, I've arrived at the hospital," his assistant, Drew, said over the phone. "But I can't seem to find you—did I misremember your instructions?"Se
"Actually, I don't think that's a really good idea?" " Are you scared that I might make a move on you? Come on, I won't touch you without your consent Lena, I promise" That was the last thing Jacob would ever do after discovering that she was a victim of assault, although the culprit have been jailed. He had planned to tell her, but he knew it would make her uncomfortable and might make her feel unworthy of him, so he decided to keep it a secret." Really?" " Yeah" Jacob came forward and carried her in a bridal style to his bedroom upstairs, he placed her gently on the bed and squat down in front of her. " This room belongs to the both of us and what is mine is yours too." he then fetched out a small blue box from his pocket, revealing a heart shaped blue diamond ring. " Lena, don't panic. I'm not asking you to marry me just yet. I just want to make you feel rest assured so I got this promise ring for you" he took Elena's hand and slide the ring into her finger which looked good
As Sean and Andrea arrived at Jacob's residence, they found Elena busy cooking dinner in the kitchen. The aroma of roasting vegetables wafted through the air, mingling with the sound of sizzling meat on the stovetop.Elena turned to greet them, a warm smile on her face. "Hey, guys! Come on in."Andrea followed Elena into the kitchen, taking in the cozy atmosphere as she began to help with dinner preparations."Sean," Jacob said, his eyes locked on his friend, "do you think Carmen will defend her cousin in court?""I don't think so," Sean replied thoughtfully. "But Carmen, I know, is smart and calculative. I'm sure she wouldn't do anything stupid to spoil her career."As they continued their conversation, Sean glanced around the kitchen, his eyes lingering on Elena, before returning to Jacob. "So did you tell her how you feel?"Jacob nodded sheepishly. "Yeah, I did after the accident. And I even asked her to marry me."Sean's eyebrows shot up in surprise. "What did she say?"Jacob's fa
As Megan sat in the garden, her legs crossed and a cigarette dangling from her mouth, she dialed a number on her phone. The receiver picked up immediately, and she demanded, "What did I tell you earlier? Didn't I tell you to always keep me updated on what's going on?"The man on the other end groaned in frustration. "What am I supposed to update you on, woman? Can't you just let me do my job in peace?"Megan's eyes narrowed as she took a long drag on her cigarette. "Watch how you speak to me," she said coldly. "I'm paying you, and I expect results."The man sighed. "Fine. You told me Elena usually leaves work by 6 p.m. It's already 6. She's out."Megan's eyes flickered with excitement. "Great," she said, her voice dripping with malice.As Elena walked out of her workplace, oblivious to the danger lurking nearby, Megan spoke into her phone again. "Go get her."The truck driver started his engine slowly, careful not to alarm Elena as he moved in closer. When the time was right, he stepp
The next morning, Elena woke up as early as possible and got dressed to leave for work. She had no idea where Jacob went inin the early hours of the day, as she didn't meet him in the room when she woke up.She fixed her hair in the mirror and grabbed her bag, then immediately unlocked the door to leave. Just as she did, Jacob walked in with a tray carrying sandwiches, tea, and sliced apples. "Have breakfast before you leave," he said, placing it on the center table and sitting down on the bed, gesturing for her to take a seat beside him.Elena looked at him in surprise and sat down without touching the food. "Should I feed you myself,myself, or did you get it?" he asked, arching his brows at her."I got it," she quickly replied before he could do something strange again. Jacob watched her finish every piece of her breakfast before finally seeming satisfied."Let me drive you to work," he said."I thought you had important things to do today, which is why you got up so early," Elena s
