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
"So tell me, how have you been, Taylor?" The kids were with Talia. Taylor had made everything clear to Kylie that Nathan wasn't her dad. It was fucking hard disappointing her daughter but she didn't want to put Nathan in an uncomfortable condition."Aren't you gonna ask?" Taylor said, tucking her hands into her pocket. She couldn't even look him in the eyes."Not when you don't wanna talk about it." He replied.She heaved deeply and halted."What are you doing here?""Came to watch some kids play, and I found yours."She chuckled a bit. This was the very first time Taylor was seeing a man so different. Nathan was smart, kind, caring, and handsome.He was everything she wished Bryan would have been, or even more. Even when he had no idea who she was, he risked his life to save her.She was never going to forget the words he said to her the second time they met. Those words held her so strong for four years.She really believed it was time to talk to Nathan because he really had many qu
2 Days Later "Mommy, can I stay home with you?" Kylie asked.Taylor was getting the kids dressed and ready for school, but it seemed like Kylie didn't want to go to school. Taylor handed Kristen over to Nanny and walked to Kylie who had refused to talk to her some hours ago. "Why baby? Is something wrong?"She rubbed her daughter's tiny hair. "Tell mommy why you don't wanna go to school."Kylie refused to say a word about it. "Are you afraid of being bullied because you don't have a daddy?"Kylie immediately nodded her head. "Oh baby." Taylor hugged her daughter tight. "Look at mommy." She held her chin. "I promise you would never get bullied. Mommy is trying hard to get daddy back for now, so trust me okay?".She just had to lie for the sake of her daughter happiness. Kylie nodded her head and that was because she trusted Taylor so much more than anyone in the entire world.Taylor chuckled and hugged her daughter. "Mommy wants the best for you, and she'll give you the absolute be
"Where's your boss?" Stella questioned the young lady in red who was Bryan's secretary. She had gone into his office to talk some sense into his head because never for once did he come to visit her at that hospital or at home while she was hurt."He's not in.""That's why I'm asking where he is.""I have no idea. He never called to say he's on his way. Besides, I'm not his watch girl, I can't keep an eye on him or whatever he's doing."By the way she spoke, it was really obvious that Bryan's secretary never liked Stella. Stella ended up scoffing."Why do I even waste my time? It's useless." As she turned to leave the office, Alex walked in to see her. "What's wrong? Why are you here, Stella?"She glared at him, rolling her eyes. Was he ever real when he had made that promise to him? Of course Alex had helped her while she was hurt, but still he lied to her. If he was truly her friend, then he would have informed her the second Taylor stepped her foot back to New York."Stella." Alex
"Absolutely nothing. You can't make things right, not now, not ever." Taylor replied after forcefully breaking herself from the hug."The contract will be prepared as soon as possible so if you want your kids to be close to you, then you should sign it as soon as possible." Taylor said.She walked back into the clinic to be with her daughter. Kylie was already half asleep, but immediately she saw Taylor, her eyes became wide open."Baby, can I talk to you?" Taylor said.Kylie nodded her head."Do you know how much mommy loves you?"Kylie nodded her head in response, making Taylor lean closer to kiss her forehead. "Mommy loves you so much that she wants you to be so happy. Give mommy a little more time and we'll all move in with Daddy. We'll become one big happy family like you always wanted okay? I love you baby." She hugged Kylie.Bryan had been listening to their conversation. He hurt her so much more than he'd imagined, but now is the opportunity to set things straight. He had no c
