Wyoming got out of the bathroom, a large towel draped around her body, and another one wrapped like a turban around her head. She was about to pull the towel from her head to rub her hair with it when she stopped suddenly. She debated within herself whether to go back to the bathroom and wait for him to leave the room or feign nonchalance.Choosing the latter, she walked inside the room she shares with Connor and stopped a few paces before Cayden.Then she remembered if he was here. “Who is taking care of Connor?” The idea that Connor is playing by himself somewhere inside the house or maybe outside on the beach had her hurrying. She moved about the room, opening a closet to get a change of clothes. In her haste, the towel knot loosened, threatening to fall off her body. She clutched the front with her hand while her other hand held her change of clothes.The towel on her head fell off. Cayden saved it. He held the towel and gently pulled it off her head. “Thank you.” She mu
Giggling sounds and laughter filled Wyoming’s ears. Surrounded by her family, her heart felt full. She blushed when she remembered Cayden and her were supposedly hiding from their families. Now, looking back toward the living room, she saw everyone looking at them, smiles wreathing their faces.Overwhelmed with shyness, she buried her face in Cayden’s chest, as if he could hide what they were doing previously from their onlookers. Cayden threw his head back at her natural display of shyness. His laughter started as a low rumble in the pit of his stomach crossing his lungs and finally coming out of his mouth. The sight of him looking so carefree and happy caught her in a daze, affecting her in ways she did not understand but could only feel.“Mommy! Daddy!” Connor’s shout distracted her from her intent perusal of Cayden’s face. She turned her head to the direction of the sound and saw Connor running toward them, his little feet creating a soft thud as his shoe collided with th
Wyoming woke up feeling at ease. She had no idea what woke him up, it was just that her nose had become sensitive. She smelled something that she found not to her liking. She sniffed the air, her nostrils scrunched up in distaste. “What is that awful smell?” She asked hoarsely, opening one eye to check if there was something wrong with their room only to see a semi-undress Cayden hovering above her. His hair dripped wet from the shower. She smiled warmly at him. In a daze, she propped herself on the bed, her hands stretching out to put them around Cayden’s neck. With eyes sparkling in delight at her warm reception, Cayden leaned forward to peck her lips. She meets his downward motion with an upward motion, sniffing at the same time. That was when her nostrils started to twitch scrunching up in distaste for she smelled something not suitable to her taste. “You smell disgusting!” She cried, covering her mouth with her palm to avoid smelling that awful smell. However, the stench s
Cayden backed off, afraid to anger Wyoming in her delicate condition. After Wyoming climbed into the car, Alicia turned around to talk to him. “It’s best if we take her, Cayden.” He nodded. He did not want to argue with the elders or raise Wyoming’s hackles in her sensitive condition. He was right, it seemed, when Alicia added, “Her hormones are acting up making her blood boil every time she sees you. If she’s indeed pregnant I am sure the baby would take after you.” Alicia teased leaving him in a daze. “Mom!” Wyoming called out from inside the van, prompting Alicia to bestow an apologetic smile his way before closing the car door behind her. “Pregnant.” He murmured to himself while he tried to wrap his mind around the possibility. It wouldn’t be impossible since he and Wyoming spend most of their night doing the deed. Cayden watched in a daze as the van moved forward before blending into the morning traffic. It was a long time before he decided to get back to the house a
Wyoming Wilson looked at her reflection in the vanity mirror that occupied the whole wall of the sparsely-decorated dressing room she was in. A beautiful woman looked back at her - young and innocent -looking. But behind the innocence, a certain sadness lurks in her hazel brown eyes, and if anyone would look further, one could also see something more- desperation. But then again behind that bleak expression, another emotion could be gathered - expectation. In her eyes, two emotions were fighting for dominance - despair and anticipation. More so with the latter. It poses a glimmer of hope for things that have yet to come. “You looked gorgeous, darling!” Max, the top stylist for the upper class, commented when their eyes connected in the mirror. Wyoming smiled wanly and said nothing. She looked back at her reflection in the mirror and studied her face carefully, finding nothing spectacular about her looks that would warrant such an amazing comment from a top stylist of M
Cayden Ellish ignored the woman’s question beside him as he fixed his gaze on the priest that would solemnize his matrimony with this unnamed actress as his pretend bride. Five days ago, he did not imagine himself to be getting the services of a start-up actress to pose as his fake bride. And why would he need to pay someone to marry him when he had a fiance whom he loves and intends to marry? But then, his fiance ran away. He could still remember the horror he felt when he found out that she was gone. “What do you mean she is gone?” Cayden Ellish’s left hand formed into a hard fist as he listened to his men whom he tasked to check the hotel room where his fiancee, Tori Hutton had been temporarily billeted. “We checked her hotel room, Mr. Ellish. It was empty when we arrived sir. When we checked with the hotel administration, they confirmed what we found out. Ms. Hutton left last night.” Cayden dropped the call and checked his messages for Tori’s. He found it and saw the
At exactly the same time five days ago, Wyoming Wilson was busy preparing poached eggs on toast for breakfast when she received a call from her manager informing her that she had been called to audition. At the time, projects became scarce. If she does not find another job soon, she does not know where she is going to get enough money to pay their rent and buy basic necessities. Their resources were depleted by her father’s accident. And what’s more, they left an outstanding debt at the hospital which she agreed to pay in six monthly installments. Two months had passed but she had not been able to produce the money to make a dent on their hospital debt. The promise of a new project suddenly gave her hope. With a smile on her face, she ended the call and continued preparing breakfast for her dad. She put the food she prepared on a tray and went out of their small kitchen. She walked barefooted, humming softly to herself while treading the recently waxed wooden floor before
After making sure that she inflicted serious damage on Jeremy, Wyoming left in a huff with nary a second look back to her boyfriend of almost one year. There is so much anger inside of her. There is so much anger inside of her. And pain. Wyoming brushed harshly the tears that fell from her eyes. Jeremy does not deserve her tears. She trusted him. Loved him. She had always thought that what they had was perfect. Jeremy, like her, is an actor. But unlike her, he was able to get major roles while she only managed to land bit parts. He was actually a big star. But nobody in the industry knew about them. Nobody had any idea that they were in a relationship. They had always acted appropriately in front of everyone. And no one suspected them of carrying on a relationship that almost ran up to a year. Why not? They have the same manager and it is not unlikely that she and Jeremy would be tossed into each other’s company from time to time because of their management’s act
