Warren's POVI was silent at the whole time that we were eating our lunch. As usual, the foods were expensive and delicious, cooked by our personal chef.Mom and Ivy continued talking to each other throughout the time that we were eating. They never lose their own topic of conversation. I zoned out most of the time that we were eating.Ivy would constantly look back at me and ask me questions where I would pretend that I was interested. Mom would get mad and give me her long speech if she saw how bad I treat Ivy.It feels like Ivy was her real real daughter and I was her undeserving future son in law.I just wish that this whole thing would be over so I could go back to my penthouse and be by myself.I thought we were free to go home after lunch, but mom held back Ivy to continue their conversation in the living room while sipping tea.They always talk everyday, but they look like friends who hadn't met each other for five years.If I could, I

I was planning to take the kids out and spoil them before I tell them who their father is. Calvin is right, I should tell them the truth while they were young. But we didn't have the chance to do so because Charles doesn't want to be absent in school. He wants to finish the school year with perfect attendance and as his mother, I should support and help him with that. I should be teaching them that punctuality is important.I took out a deep breath after doing it a million times already. I would need to pick out the things I would wear to the event with the help of Lisa today. I know I shouldn't be nervous about it because I'm just going to choose something I'd wear and I am not meeting Warren yet.It's just that everything seems odd. I used to be excited to be with Warren, but now the thought of seeing him makes me feel preposterous."You're late!" Lisa glared at me as I came out of the elevator.She always goes to the office earlier than me even if we live in t

Saturday came like a wind. It was too fast like what happened with me and Warren. It caught me at the time I was unprepared. Things you dread always come so suddenly and I was dreading for this day to come. I have to tell them the truth now. I can't come back to my word just because of my fears. I have to do this or I'll suffer dire consequences in the future.This time I didn't wake up the kids. I let them sleep until they woke up. While waiting I cooked our breakfast. As usual, Charlie woke up earlier than her brother. We didn’t wait for Charles to wake up and started to eat our breakfast which was waffles and warm chocolate. They never eat breakfast without a warm glass of chocolate. By the time we finished eating Charles woke up and ate his breakfast with Lisa who surprisingly woke up late. She always wakes up earlier than all of us.“We will go out today so you all had to prepare!” I told them excitedly. Charlie squealed happily.“But we h

Warren’s POVI know that this is the perfect time to meet the owner of Sullivan industries. I have to talk to her, to persuade her to choose my offer instead of Calvin's. I placed the invitation on the table and stared at the wonderful view behind my office desk. I sighed and tucked my hands inside my pant's pocket. My mind flew off again on what could Bella be doing right now. Perhaps, she is sleeping cuddling Calvin on their bed. I shaked away the thought and pinched the bridge of my nose. I can't let them distract me.I told my assistant to prepare some appointments to look for my outfit. As usual, I will bring Ivy with me like the past few years.I accompanied her in choosing her outfits and she also accompanied me. That day was disastrous for us. Both of us can't decide on anything to wear that we had to rely on what Leslie thinks about our outfits. It didn't help that Ivy doesn't get along with Leslie unlike Bella. The moment they both laid their eyes on e

I watched them for hours waiting for Ivy to just leave Warren alone. The moment Ivy left I was overcome by fear. All of the reasons why I should talk to Warren just left my mind. I can’t think clearly anymore. I was overwhelmed by my emotions. I averted my gaze from Warren when I saw him looking directly at me. I tried to look around for help but Calvin and Lisa weren’t around. ‘Shit’ I cursed. They promised that they will be with me. Where are they?“Bella, can we talk?” Warren asked behind me and I don’t have any choice but to talk to him even if I dread doing that.I turned around and smiled sweetly at him, “Sure.”“Can we talk privately, please?” He asked. I’m starting to freak out internally. I can’t even stare right through his face, and now I’ll have to talk to him alone!“Sure.” I can’t believe I just said that. What is wrong with me?!We walked out
