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
"T.. Taylor, please." Bryan tried to say but Taylor wasn't going to give him a listening ear. She didn't want to see his face so she hurried into the car as soon as her kids got in.She was scared of the fact that Bryan might want to take her babies away since she thought of him as heartless."Take us back home." Taylor demanded the chauffeur who ignited the car and drove away." As the car turned around, her eyes met with that of Bryan. For years, Taylor had not seen those eyes, and seeing them again made her recall old memories that she didn't want to recollect. He was happy now, and she deserved to be happy as well.She winded up the glass and stopped looking at him.As the car continued moving, Taylor couldn't hold back her tears. Why the hell did she have to meet Bryan. The pains of the past that she wanted to leave behind for the rest of her life suddenly came back.She felt hurt especially when she saw the pictures of Bryan and Stella sleeping together. It was better she never
Taylor and Talia waited outside receiving the guests who had come for her father's burial to pay their last respect. Most of them especially the ladies would stop and pat her shoulders gently.Taylor was certain of one thing, her father was a good man and he had built a great foundation and legacy. She was going to continue from there with Talia who was now like a sister to her."I'm so sorry Taylor, please take heart. No pressure, you can return back when you're fully alright."Taylor lowered her head in appreciation. "Thank you so much Mrs Watson. Do say Hi your husband and lovely kids on my behalf."The lady chuckled. "Oh, I will. Thank you." She walked away."Do you really trust that lady? She certainly had eyes on your dad when your mom was still alive. She literally wanted to become your step mom after she died."Taylor shrugged."So eweeeeeee. I trust my dad, he would never have done such a thing."Thus made Talia chuckle. "I left my babies at home with a nanny. I miss them so
Alex was certain that Bryan wasn't going to come. Because of Stella, he didn't go to pay his last respect to Taylor's father even though she was his friend.Stella was still in the hospital expecting Bryan to come, but when evening came and he still wasn't here, she fell asleep while crying.Alex couldn't watch it. It hurt him everytime she did something like that, so he left the room for her. After staying outside and getting worried, he decided to go in to check up on her only for him to meet her asleep with dried tears on her face.He touched her face and slept beside her while holding her hands. He was always the one there for her, but she always fails to realize it.A few hours later, Stella woke up first to see Alexander right beside her. In her dream, she had felt someone touch her face and it reminded her of the times Bryan always touched her face. She also felt him clean her tears and hold her hands. She didn't want to open up her eyes for fear of it ending.Stella wanted to
After cleaning the tears on her face, Taylor turned around to face her children.She held Kylie's hands. "Baby, mommy's heard your wish, and she'll do everything to make it come true okay." She said, and hugged her daughter.Talia came down the stairs. The kids all greeted her and she pecked them one after the other. "We're late Taylor.""Nanny, we're leaving now, take care of the kids okay." Taylor said and waved her kids goodbye as she walked out of the house. When they got to the car, she buried her head on the wheels. "Are you alright?" Talia questioned, but Talia shook her head in negation."I'm not okay. Do you think I'm depriving my kids of the right to see their dad?""Taylor, you're doing what is best for them, and for yourself. We'll talk about this after the meeting, okay?"Taylor ignited the engine and immediately drove the car out of the house. A few minutes later, they were finally at the company. The next few months of her life would be so busy and hectic with work bec
Taylor's legs were still rooted to the floor as she was staring at Nathan. He took recognized her and smiled widely at her, and when Bryan noticed this, his face turned red with anger He had no idea what was going on, but he fucking didn't like it as well.They both knew each other and that was making him feel so insecure. No wonder he felt this way, the first time he saw Nathan.Though Talia was too shocked to see Bryan, she didn't let it get to her for too long."Taylor.." Talia called, and Taylor instantly returned back to jrt senses. "Oh, good morning everyone." Taylor greeted and took her seat. Her gaze left that of Bryan and focused on Nathan which was clearly making Bryan so upset. He had no idea who the guy was, but judging by the looks, any lady could easily fall for him. Talia too was surprised. The handsome stranger sitting beside her knew Taylor. She tried hard not to stare at him multiple times, but it was just impossible.Now that she was single, this gentleman sittin
CHAPTER 27"Okay, Taylor, who's the cutie?" Hearing Talia squeak and ask her this question so many times made Taylor uncomfortable because she had told Talia multiple times that he was a friend she met a few years ago."Nope. It didn't look that way in your eyes. I mean, I could see happiness in those sad eyes of yours when he waved at you.""Talia, I'm in no mood for jokes right now. A lot is bothering me and I don't want talk about him.'"It's Bryan again, isn't it?"Taylor heaved deeply. When was she ever going to stop thinking about Bryan and get over him completely. Was it still so hard to do so?"If you really wanna forget about him, then why don't you invite another person to your heart.""I don't know Talia, I'm just really confused."Taylor continued, "Nathan doesn't even know I have kids, and I bet he's gonna run from me if he does." Taylor suddenly recalled something and picked her phone from her handbag. She's turned the car around."What's wrong?""My kids school. I alm
