♡ Skylar ♡I stirred in my sleep and became alarmed when I felt a hand on me. I slowly opened my eyes to see it wasn't just anyone, and yesterday's night was definitely not an illusion.I was lying facing Alfred, his arm draped around my shoulder and his other hand holding mine.I smiled as I took in his ethereal morning visuals. He looked so vulnerable. I never thought a day like this would come again. Yesterday's night was one night I'd never forget.How did I end up so into him once again? I also don't know how it happened the second time.I slowly raised my hands to his face, my fingers hovering above his lips, and then his eyes fluttered open. I pulled my hand back, flushing hard."I know I look irresistible in the morning, love," I looked away from him. "When did you wake up? You sound like someone awake for a while. "He laughed. "Ten minutes, maybe." He replied. I scoffed and sat upright. As I made to pull the blanket away, he held my hand."Where are you going?"I turned t

♡ Skylar ♡As I drove towards the office, my phone began to ring. I picked it up immediately once I saw who was calling."Ma'am, I don't think coming to the office is the right decision now. Reporters are clustered around"I exhaled, taking one hand off the wheel and running it through my hair."How bad is it?""Very. I think if you don't show up for now, they'll give up. ""I don't think so. They are persistent pests," I retorted. Letting out an exasperated sigh, I added."Thank you for the info. Let's talk later,"I was about to hang up when her next words stopped me."Do you want me to cancel the reservation you made with Mr Miller?"I exhaled, my eyes not leaving the road.Would that be a good idea? With what had just surfaced, it probably wouldn't. The look in his eyes haunted me again, and I groaned lowly.This was the second time I had seen that kind of look in his eyes, and to be honest, it hurt more than the first.Maybe I could use those two days to explain things to him, th

29th December Skylar"Can you stop pacing? You're making me dizzy," I paused, looking down at Hannah, who was seated cross-legged on my bed."No."I resumed pacing the room, and as I turned back to her, a pillow flew towards me, hitting my stomach before I could evade it. I watched the pillow fall to the floor, and I picked it up, tossing it back at her. She snickered."Ethan has been calling. Are you still going to ignore his calls?"I sighed and picked up my phone. There, his name was written on the screen. He was calling again. I clicked the red call button, and the call ended. I was tempted to turn off my phone, but the whole reason I was pacing about was because I was expecting Alfred's call. He was supposed to be here thirty minutes ago as we had planned to leave at noon. Had he changed his mind? I was aching for the trip. It was my only ticket to explain myself. Knowing Alfred, he wouldn't ask for an explanation, especially in things like this. Which was the most painful part

♡ Skylar ♡I shut my eyes and opened them back, but the words on the screen didn't change.My biological mother. She was alive? How? I saw three dots appear on the screen again, and I watched it bubble until another message popped up.- And you are Valerie. It's not a question because I'm sure of it -"What the hell?" I whispered, my eyes going wide. How did the informant know who I truly was? There was no way anyone could find out unless I told them. Even my adopted dad had no idea who I was because of the injuries I had and me faking amnesia. So, who really was this?I didn't have the time to ponder, so I began to type a reply immediately. - How do you know me? What are you up to? Where's my mom if she's alive? Can we meet -The bubble appeared again, and I started to type again. - No, we should meet. We have to. Tell me where you are and I'll come there now - - We will meet but not now -"Is something wrong?"I looked up to see Alffed standing in front of me. His eyes dropped

31st December 2023♡ Skylar ♡Alfred and I had spent the last day of the year together at the construction site, and of course, with the mayor. It was tiring, but with Alfred sending me warm smiles now and then, I wasn't that exhausted. I was right about the reporters making various articles about us because of last night. In the morning, I had turned on my data connection and immediately regretted it as my phone was blowing up with questions from colleagues and news articles. After that, Alfred and I had just agreed not to turn it on again and enjoy the last day of the year by ourselves, free from the media and nosy people.My parents had called asking if I was fine, and I told them I was. Alfred and I also video chatted with Arielle and Aurora, but we haven't told them about us yet. We just thought it wasn't something to say over the phone. I hadn't told Hannah either because I was a bit scared to see her reaction. It wasn't going to change anything, but it still meant something
