I sat at the reserved dining with Marcus waiting for my so-called blind date, all the while praying fervently in my heart that it isn’t one of my exes.
Not to exaggerate, I’m sure I’ve dated half of the men in London. I didn’t want to think about how Marcus would react if it was one of my exes. And to be honest, I was always the one who left, the one who broke their hearts. After the epic heart break I had in high school, I turned into the one who did the heart breaks, although I never did most intentionally. Some guys were just too overbearing. Some of them were with me because of my parent’s influence, some hated my love for Korean dramas and me fan-girling Kpop idols, while some were so keen on getting married whereas I wasn’t one bit ready. Somehow, Marcus haven’t showed any sign of having one of the traits I mentioned, and sincerely, I hoped he wouldn’t. I wanted thisKaugnay na kabanata

JODYMarcus volunteered to drive so I handed him my car keys and sat on the passenger’s seat.His car was back at my apartment as I drove us to the date with my own car. We drove to my house in a silence he obviously wasn’t comfortable with as his eyes kept darting from the road to stare at me.“Jody, is something wrong?” he asked peering into my face before turning to face his steering.“We need to talk,” I retorted.“Alright, go ahead.”“I will when we get home.”“Tell me now, babe,” he pleaded giving me the puppy eyes. “How can I concentrate when you’re looking like that? Tell me already!” I was getting angrier already as it stands, so I’ll just go ahead and tell him here.“Fine.” I said. “What are we right now, Marcus? I need you to tell me.”“What are we how?” he ask

GRACE.Jody was a total mess.Seeing her like this broke my heart and I really crave to do something no one can imagine to the person responsible for her being this way.NK and I sat beside her in her sitting room trying to console her and talk some sense into her as well. We seriously couldn’t understand the situation even though we were trying so hard to.They only dated or better put, saw each other for a month and at some point I even thought they weren’t serious anymore till I saw them together at that blind date.I mean, my friend have never been this broken by any man before. Its Jody, the spunky, spontaneous and you-only-live-once Jody!The person with black eye bags, messy and unkempt hair sitting on the love seat by the fire side was just like a shadow or a demon possessing our friend.But all these simply meant she really did love him because the last time she was this way with someone was back in hi

JODYIt was time to get back up, despite how much my heart was hurting, I decided with resolution as I dressed up, and grabbed my car key and my purse.I was going to a grocery shop to get groceries even though my kitchen cabinet was still quiet full of food items.I just need to do something I really hate, it was the only way to get my back into function, to think for myself and if possible get rid of my heart ache.Doing things I hated helped me face reality, and at this point, facing reality was what I needed most. It was over a week and I was still mourning the breakup of someone I dated for only a month, someone who must have even moved on to someone else, maybe someone whose heart he would break after a month. It wasn’t even a real date, we were simply testing and he realized he had had enough and wasn’t interested in me enough.No hard feelings, Marcus Grant, I get it.I hopped into my car, thinking of a way

JODYHe was taking me to his house.His house was situated in one of the grandest neighborhoods in London. It was a spacious house that looked like a box from the outside.Marcus stopped in front, came down to open the door for me. I didn’t know what to feel, and even though I could feel anything right now, anger was not one of them. Let’s just listen to whatever he has to say, I said to myself, summoning the spirit of patience in me out.He ushered me into an ostentatious sitting room and I was just too speechless. The house was built with glasses, white cushions, white table, white curtains and even the tiles were white. It was a white themed house and it was breathtaking.“You can’t believe I’m living in a house like this right?” he asked walking inside and taking off his winter jacket. “Well, I’m not just an assistant of Connor Shelby, I’m his Beta and even though werewolves are now indi

GRACELaurel have never been on a plane before, but today would be her first time and she was more than delighted to say the least.She sat between Connor and me in the business class section of the plane. I would have opted for the economy class if it was up to me but Connor would hear none of that. He said he wanted to give his child the best first flying experience.However there was something awkward about him. I know we were going to meet his control freak mother who didn’t like me but I believe I should be the tensed or anxious one here. I wish I could turn back the hands of time and turn down his offer of going to see his mother.After all, she called her own grandchild an illegitimate.Connor shifted on his seat, checking to see once again if Laurel’s seat strap was secure. Wait he wasn’t air sick was he?For someone who traveled around the world for his businesses, he should be used to flying by now, or may

CONNORI made all the preparation for proposing to Grace while making her believe we were only going to see my mother.I have always thought about how to propose to her in the most epic way, but ideas refused to come till I spoke to Laurel about it. She didn’t really understand much but went with the flow and helped in making everything successful.Wanting her to meet my family was still what I had to do, but I can’t just introduce her to my mum as my child’s mother. Grace means the world to me, and I had to tell it to the world that she was more than what everyone thought of her.I fell in love with her even before the pregnancy happened, even before I became what I was at the long run, and I wanted to make up for all the times I should have been there for her and with her but wasn’t there. All those times I thought I had lost her forever.Our family Chauffeur, Mr. Mackintosh was already waiting at the

GRACEI sat in the car clutching my child to my chest a little tighter than normal as hot tears streamed down my eyes. I patted her hair to keep her from seeing me cry.I couldn’t hold back the tears anymore. My heart was tearing into tiny shreds and sinking at the same time. My hands trembled, I held on tighter, my chest burned and my head swelled. Connor’s mother’s words were like knives targeted straight into my heart.And if her words were meant to hurt me, she succeeded because they really hurt and what made it worse was my child was sitting right there hearing them.I don’t care if she doesn’t want us, neither do I care about her acceptance of me and my child. The most important thing was me not giving up on my child for any reason. I knew what I was going to go through when I decided to keep her all by myself and I went ahead anyway.I struggled with my child, the both of us wen

JODY“How are you my boyfriend, Marcus?” I asked with subtle irritation laced in my voice, as I took my seat after I was able to gather my equilibrium.I couldn’t believe Marcus would come to where I worked and introduce himself as her boyfriend. What he did made me feel some sort of warmth inside but I caught herself quickly before she fell for his charm again.She still loved him to the point where it hurt so badly, but she has promised herself never to take him back again.Never.Never, ever. And she meant it.She gazed at him evenly as he sat uncomfortably on her visitor’s chair adjacent hers. He was gazing at her as well, but his gaze was saying so much, words she could hear loud and clear even though he didn’t speak out a word. “Jody can we talk?” his expression was serious.“We’re talking right now, aren’t we?”“No,
