"Move the flowers that way." I instructed as I watched them set up the hall for the event I was hired to plan.

I was exhausted from all the supervision I had to do. This was a major event and I could not afford any mess ups.

"Chloe!" I called for my assistant.

"Yes ma'am?"

"Get me a bottle of iced water please. I'm parched." I told her.

"Coming right up ma'am."

I let out a sigh, looking around to spot any imperfections in the decor so far. I believed my staff saw me as a control freak s

    My jaw ticked as soon as I spotted him hugging my woman."What are you doing here?" I asked in a controlled tone. I was trying to not be hostile but I could not help it."Xander, nice to see you again." He said with a curt nod in my direction.I immediately pulled Olive to my side, ignoring his salutation. He smiled, "I just came to offer my condolences. I'm sorry about what happened to Arya. Any news from the abductors yet?""That's none of your business." I said in a clipped tone."Xander!" Olive whisper yelled. I ignored her and faced the man who kept talking."I could be of help. I know a few people who can easily crack this case.""I have enough connections for that and I assure you all hands are on deck to find my daughter." I turned his offer down. Malik shrugged in a way that proved that my dismissal had fallen on deaf ears. "Fair enough. I'm one call away if you need me." He said to Olive, giving her arm a slight, meaningful squeeze before excusing himself.I glared at her.

    I had cried so much, I could not breathe properly anymore. "My daughter! You need to find my daughter!!!" I frantically screamed, holding on the police officer like my life depended on it. It took a lot of effort from Xander to pry me off the officer who seemed to be unfazed by my antics. Of course he understood that I was a mother who was in desperate need to find her child. "Xander my baby, where is she?" I turned to him probably with a crazed look in my eyes. I was a mess. "We'll find her." He assured me, even though he looked as lost as I was. "Where could she be?" I asked, like he would have any idea. He made me sit while he gave his statement. The detective came to me after I had calmed down a bit. "Now madam, I understand you're a bit shaken, but I need you to tell us what happened." My body raked with sobs as Xander held my hand and tried to calm me down. "I went to her school to pick her up as usual and she was running towards me. Then out of nowhere, this blue sed

    It felt like I had won the lottery. Every single time I looked at her, I felt my heart leap with a joy so indescribable that words could never fully explain it. So this was what it was to be loved, valued and cared for. This was what it was to be in love and wanting to spend the rest of your life with one person. I was never one to believe in having soul mates but my perception changed since I met Olive. Coming home to see their beautiful faces was the highlight of my day and waking up to see them was just what I needed to get me going. On the day we finally announced our engagement in some time in the middle of January, I got her a Cartier emerald-cut diamond ring and we had a mini photoshoot for it. The moment we posted it on our timelines, it immediately went viral with mixed reactions from internet users but of course, their opinions did not matter. "You did not tell your brother about this before now?" I asked when she dropped the call with her only sibling who did not see

  • What's Love Without A Second Chance    82 ~ Olive

    Arya's first day of school had me sobbing like she was leaving the country all by herself. I was so dramatic.Waving her off was one of the hardest things to do. And because she had separation anxiety, leaving to a new place for the first time, her first day was messy. She cried so much, I wanted to change my mind and take her home with me. It took Xander's intervention for me to eventually let her go.As she went in with the minder, I saw her turn back to us every now and then until she was out of sight."She'll be fine baby." Xander reassured me, handing me his handkerchief to wipe my eyes. I covered my eyes with them as I sobbed some more, letting him console me with his gentle arm rubs."She's growing so fast." I said through a cracked voice. It felt surreal that the baby I had in what felt like yesterday just started her first day of school. I did not want to imagine how the next couple of years were going to be."Let's go." He urged me softly.We turned and headed back to the ca

    In between time and space, I felt a sudden sense of warmth engulf me that was way more than the sun conveyed. This warmth was internal. If I had pictured myself here just a couple of months back, it would have seemed abominable. He had me wrapped around his finger again and I loved it. There was no denying it this time, everything had changed. Our lives, our relationship would never be the same again. "Good morning beautiful," I heard his gruff morning voice and almost got turned on again. "Good morning," I yawned. My lips settled into a smile as he planted a warm kiss on my forehead. "I'm hungry." I announced along with my rumbling stomach. "I got you." I sat up and saw that he had gotten me breakfast. "When did you leave this room?" I asked eyeing his bare chest. It did not look like he had left this room even once. "I had them bring it up." "Oh. No wonder." Savoring the meal, my eyes strayed to him every now and then as I got flashbacks from the night before. Surely

    It was New Year's eve. The house was bustling with excitement. The bits of tension left over from the conflicts that occurred within the past week, seemed to have been forgotten. As usual, Xander and I sat by the balcony enjoying each other's company as the night breeze blew over our faces, cooling our temperatures."Sometimes I find it hard to forgive myself for how much I wronged you." He said, breaking the comfortable silence we were enjoying just moments before. His statement was jarring and absolutely unexpected.My emotions were a mix of shock and worry when I questioned him. "Xander, why would you say that?"His eyes dimmed with regret. "I missed out on major milestones. Arya's birth, her growth process, her first steps, her first words, everything. And sometimes I hate myself it. I wish I was there,"I rubbed on my temples, not sure if I wanted this conversation to get this intense. "Xander let's just forget about that. What matters now is that we've gotten the closure we d
