Stella walked into the company and headed straight for the manager's office holding an envelope in her hands. She was fucking done with his nonsense and it was time to tell him who he was messing with since she was certain Bryan would be hers anytime soon.If she gets married to Bryan Anderson, then they would certainly come begging and crawling for her to accept them back.She wore long black pop socks, a pink tube, and a pink sweater that had feathers around it, and matching black heels. Bryan was only a few days away from getting what he wanted and becoming the next CEO, and she was also a few days away from tying the knots with him, at least so she thought.She touched the door knob, twisted it and when the door opened, the manager stood up on his feet when he saw her. "Miss Heart." He called with so much respect that it made her wonder if he had woken up at the wrong side of the bed today.She walked in. "Please sit." He said again politely and she was beginning to feel so insec
A Week Later:"Congratulations Mr Anderson, you're now the newest CEO in town."Bryan smiled and outstretched his hands for a handshake. Once the man walked away, the smile on his face faded completely as he recalled he had gotten this far without Taylor by his side She could have been the best person to support him right now."Hey, you alright? You should put on a smile." Stella said. She came towards him and held his hand. He didn't force a smile again."Excuse me." He said and walked away. Stella had to come with him because he needed to provide a support for the board and the only presence he could think of was Stella, but deep down, he wished it was Taylor standing right beside him.Bryan got to the podium and picked up the microphone. It was time for him to say his speech. He stared at everyone standing and staring back at him and before he began, he cleared his throat.A round of applause was heard next once he was done, and he stepped down. He had waited so long for this day
Taylor stared at the photo that had been sent to her earlier by an unknown person, and tears rolled down her eyes. Was it not enough that he had ruined her life and divorced her? Why all of these now, does he really enjoy her being in misery?She sniffled more tears rolling down. It didn't take long before she began feeling weird. It happened so suddenly making her rush up on her feet and running towards the bathroom.As soon as she got in, she found the toilet, opened it and squatted immediately. She has earlier felt the same and since it was happening again, she had every reason to be worried.Her mind drifted back to the photos so suddenly and she bit her lower lips hitting her chest hard. She hated him so much and for the very first time in her life, she began regretting falling in love with a man like Bryan.Talia was right, he was no human being at all. He was heartless. She sniffled and weakly rose up on her feet. She walked out of the bathroom and headed straight for the livin
4 YEARS LATER…"Kristen! Stop messing around with your sister and give her what she wants right now." Taylor yelled so loud, but her first and most stubborn son would not listen to a word she said."You're gonna go on a time out if you do not listen to momma, Kristen." She yelled again when it seemed like Kylie wouldn't stop whimpering.The little one suddenly halted, and handed his sister the book. "Here, have it."Kylie collected it immediately and walked towards Taylor. "It's fine darling, Kristen simply wants you to play with him but he's unable to say it.""If he wants to play, then I don't see anything wrong in opening up."Taylor chuckled. Kylie was smart and outspoken among the three. As he stared at her daughter, she wished she had not lost her second daughter. She was pregnant with quadruplets, but unfortunately, she had to lose one girl.She rubbed her hair gently and made her sit next to her."Kyle, let's go out." Kristen said."I'm working on something, Kristen, go play
As soon as he was done with his speech, he outstretched his hands towards the board."This is a summary of everything I have in mind. Preparations are being made as I speak to you and soon we'll sign a deal with the corporation.The members in the room all rose up on their feet and began clapping while Bryan stared at them. He finally walked to his spot and took his seat."A job well done Mr Anderson. I think you're doing even better on this job."Bryan replied, "Thank you Mr Alfred." As soon as the members were handed the leaflets, they all rose up on their feet, indicating the meeting was over and began walking out one by one.Bryan was the only one seated until the room was empty. He picked up his phone as soon as he heard the buzzing sound."I'll be waiting for you at our favorite coffee shop. Please come see me Bryan." He read the message from Stella and immediately deleted it. He tucked his phone back into his pocket and drank from the bottle of water in front of him.Bryan An
2 Days Later…"Kids, stay close." Taylor said. They had just landed at the airport, and she was back to New York. Four fucking years, yet nothing changed so much.What hurt her the most was the fact that she had kept the birth of her children a secret from her father, and because of her stupid decision, he never set his eyes on his grandkids before he died.There was a car waiting for their arrival.As soon as Taylor got in with her kids, she met Talia at the back seat. The person seated at the front was unknown. Talia was in a black outfit.The kids also got in, but Talia gave a shocking look when she saw three children who looked exactly like Bryan."Tell me it's not true, Talia. Please.""I'm so sorry Taylor. I couldn't protect him, and I wasn't there when it happened… I'm so…"Taylor pulled Talia into a hug whimpering lowly because she didn't want her kids to know, but they were smart."Momma, what's wrong?" That was Kylie leaning closer to her mom and cleaning the tears on her fa
The kids were all ready, and they came downstairs. "Kids, be good and don't roam around okay." Taylor informed them and they all nodded their heads. She picked up her daughter in her arms and kissed her forehead. Then, she squatted and kissed her boys too."Let's go." Talia was already in the car waiting for the arrival. As soon as the kids got in, Talia took Kylie from Taylor and made her sit on her legs."Good morning auntie." The kids greeted one after the other and she smiled. Taylor had to just give birth to lovable characters. The kids seem to love her and always want her around."Morning angels."Kyle and Kristen sat beside her and the car began moving immediately. "I'll lay my father to rest tomorrow." Taylor said, and Talia nodded her head touching her shoulders."You should also meet with some of the company's board members. They sent their condolences.""After the burial, I will."Taylor held Talia's hand. "I need you to come work with me at the company. I can't do this a
Alex ran as fast as he could into the bar the moment he stepped down from his car. His heart was beating so hard and fast, but he didn't stop running because he was worried.As soon as he got in, he met her seated on the seat close to the counter. He walked closer and found out she wasn't drunk but instead, her eyes were swollen."Stella." He called her name and she cocked her head towards his direction. Once Stella saw him, she rose up on her feet, walked towards him and hugged him tight even to his surprise. He could only stand and wait for her to say something.She had called him earlier and was crying on the phone. She needed someone to talk to, so he was here for her. Alex was going to pretend he had no idea why she was this way, but he knew why.She finally took her hands away from his waste. "I'm sorry." She said sniffling. "It's fine. Are you alright?"She nodded her head at first, but the next second, she shook her head in negation, and said. "No, no, I'm not okay, Alex. I j
