While they were taking their ice cream, Alex's phone beeped and when he checked it, he realized that it was Lucy. He had spoken to her a week ago and had promised to show her to Isabelle the next time she called."It's Lucy," Alex said and Steph moved closer to him excitedly, as the face time came on."Hey Lucy," Alex said."Stephanie, it's been a while," she said and Steph waved at her."Yes, it has," she said."Is Isabella there? Been meaning to see her," Lucy said.Steph had Isabella on her laps and Alex turned the phone in their direction."What a lovely girl," Lucy said."She looks like the perfect mix of the two of you. I don't know how to describe it," Lucy said with admiration on her face."I am so happy for both of you. You deserve this and all the good things that life had to offer," She added.Steph and Alex smiled."How have you been? Will you ever come to visit?" Steph asked. She had missed Lucy a lot and she realized it only when she moved back to Alex's place.It used

One of the things she loved the most really was having to dress Isabella up.She always enjoyed it. It seemed like a dress up always.They were in a resort in Hawaii where Mark and Mia were getting married.They had all been there for about 3 days now and now it was the day of the wedding.They had plenty activities to do and Steph really enjoyed the days she spent in Hawaii.

SIX MONTHS LATERSteph stared in the mirror in front of her, the make-up artist had just finished doing her make-up.She looked beautiful and at that moment she realized how much of her mum’s facial features she took.She smiled.She stood from the chair she was sitting, wanting to get a full look of her white lacy wedding gown. “You look perfect,” Mia said as she walked in from the door behind.Steph turned to look at her and she smiled.“The most beautiful bride ever,” Mia said.“Thanks for being here,” Steph said.“There is no where I would rather be. You’re my best friend.”Steph moved closer to Mia and held her hands.“Sometimes I wonder what good I did to ever deserve you,” Steph said with a smile.“You have been there for me all my life. The good time and the terrible times. You make it all amazing. I have never had to deal with anything alone in life because I know I have you. You’re not just my friend, you’re my sister.

Stephanie walked into the office. Today was the day for the announcement of who had been promoted to assistant manager. She was super excited because she had always wanted the position since she started working with the company 2 years ago. She had put in absolutely everything and she worked harder than most of her colleagues. She had worked as a personal shopper, Assistant, in the two years she had been there and this was finally her time to show her parents that she could be in the fashion business and still make it.

"What's in for today?" Alex asked, sipping on the coffee he had stopped by to get, as he walked through the door into my office.Luna, his secretary followed behind. "Your mum called a few minutes ago and said to call her back when you get in."Anything else?" He asked, sitting on his chair in the office.Luna stood in front of him, going through her Ipad to see what he had scheduled for the day."The Times called and they would love an interview. They are calling you the most eligible billionaire bachelor," Luna said and Alex smiled, letting the euphoria hit. He loved when magazines and the media talked about him that way.He was the city's sweet boy and everyone loved him.Everything was too good to be true and it was all just falling into place the way he and his dad planned before he passed away."Schedule a meeting for this weekend with their reporter.""They would also like to talk about your intended partnership with Dawn's company.""About that, have they called?" "Not yet."
"What are you trying to say," Steph asked, confused, pulling the duvet covering her body with her as she struggled to get out of bed.Alex was just as confused as she was. He was handing out a cheque of 10000 and she wasn't collecting it."I am just paying you, what kind of question is this?""What do you think I am?" Steph said already so frustrated and angry.She picked her dress from the chair, her shoe with the other hand and stomped out of the bedroom.Alex watched with confusion as she left. Steph picked up her phone to check what time it was and realized that she had a lot of messages from Mia and also that she was late for work.She hurriedly got dressed and stomped out of the apartment.She called for a cab and hoped that she wouldn't be late to work on her first day after the promotion.Alex couldn't think too much of what had just happened, he had several interviews scheduled for the day on the opening of a new branch and the partnership with Dawn's. He was excited and jus
"What are you saying, this is what you have always wanted and looked forward to since you were a child," Steph said, confused about her sister's sudden change of mind."That's always been Dad's and Mum's dream, Steph. Not mine. I want to do something else," Anna explained."You know I am going to support you in whatever decision you make. I will always be here for you.""I signed up for this evening's acting classes, I think I am good at this and might even be able to make a living out of it, I love it," Anna said and Steph watched how passionately she spoke about it. "I am enjoying it," Anna said."What will you do?" Steph asked. She wasn't sure what advice to give her sister. She knew how important it was to do what you want but then, her parents.Anna stayed quiet for a bit. She also didn't "t know how to answer the question."Are you going to tell them?""I don't know but I don't think so.""What are you going to do then?" Steph asked. "You should know that I am here for you, reg
Steph sat across from Mia, at the restaurant staring blankly at the menu places infront of them. She wouldn't say anything yet and Mia was starting to get anxious and scared about what the matter could be. The waitress came to get their order, it was the second time she was showing up. The first time they had decided that they didn't want anything yet but a glass of water. "Should I get you anything now?" She asked."Burger and fries," Mia responded. "Steph! Steph!" Mia called out and then she got snapped out of her thoughts. She had completely zoned out. "I will get that too," Steph concluded."You have to tell me what's wrong now, you look pale," Mia said, concerned. Steph was about to talk when the waitress came over to drop their meal. After watching the waitress walk away, Steph spoke. "I am pregnant, Mia." "What!! How!!" Mia's face was a mix of confusion and worry. She didn't understand the information she had just gotten. She knew Steph had No Boyfriend a
