As the fireworks continued to burst and lit up the sky with their vibrant colors and beautiful shapes, my mind was consumed with thoughts and emotions. The possibility of losing Laia, and not being able to express my true feelings for her, was unbearable. I felt a lump form in my throat as I struggled to find the words to express my feelings. I realized then that my feelings for her went beyond simple liking, they were deep and profound, I loved her and the thought of losing her was unbearable. My heart felt heavy with emotion as I grappled with the gravity of my feelings.
Laia seemed to have forgotten her previous question as we walked through the crowded streets after the fireworks display had ended. I couldn't fully appreciate the stunning display because of her question which still lingered in my mind.
Her question had left me feeling unbalanced and uncertain, and I couldn't shake the feeling of dread that had settled in my chest. I knew I needed to come up with a
As I leaned into her shoulder, I felt her tense up, her body stiffening in response to my presence. I knew that my words were falling on deaf ears, as I had already missed my chance to make things right. The past was set in stone, and there was nothing I could do to change it. I couldn't take back the hurtful things I had said and done, and I was left to face the consequences of my actions. "I know that you may not trust me right now. I'm not asking for forgiveness or for you to believe me. I just want to express my sincerest apologies for hurting you in the past," I said, my voice filled with remorse as I met her gaze, trying to convey the depth of my regret. "I don't know if it still matters now, but back then, I didn't hate you. I have been just sad because I thought of you as my only friend. And I already knew it was you who wrote the letter I showed you. Your handwriting is quite unique, it would have been hard for you to deny it," she said, smiling at me as she climbed into bed
Carlo's face contorted in disbelief as he locked my head in his arms. "Dude, I thought you were here to console me. I just went through a break-up, and now you're getting territorial about your wife in front of me? That's harsh, man," he murmured, a hint of amusement creeping into his voice.I wriggled out of his grasp, laughing. "Come on, I was just teasing. You were staring a little too intently at her," I said, trying to lighten the mood.Carlo let out a deep belly laugh, collapsing onto the couch as Laia looked on in confusion. "Alright, enough of this. Let's eat. I prepared breakfast for us," she called out, gesturing towards the dining table.With a groan, Carlo pulled himself off the couch and made his way to the table, with Laia and I following closely behind.The spread before us was truly a sight to
I couldn't believe what I was reading. My mind raced as I thought about the implications of this news.My heart pounded in my chest upon reading the message from Tiffany as I imagined the possibility of her son being my own. I had always hoped for the test results to come back negative, but deep down I knew that I needed to know the truth for me to take the correct course of action without hurting my pregnant wife. The thought of potentially having a child with another woman made me feel guilty and uncertain about my future. I couldn't help but feel nervous as I thought about the impending confirmation of my paternity and the implications it would have on my life.I knew that this was going to be a problem. I had been trying to avoid thinking about Tiffany's return, but now it was happening, and I didn't know how to react. I felt a mix of emotions, from guilt to sadness to worry. I didn't know what to say to Laia, who was sitting across from me. I tried to steady my br
It was already the day of Tiffany's arrival, I was caught off guard as she stormed into my office unannounced, cradling a baby in her arms. "Az! We're back!" she exclaimed with a bright smile, completely disregarding the fact that she had entered without permission. My initial shock quickly turned to anger as I glared at her, gritting my teeth as I tried to dial security."Who allowed you to enter my office arbitrarily?" I asked, raising my voice with frustration."Goodness, babe! You're scaring your son!" she chided, shushing the whimpering baby in her arms.I couldn't believe what I was hearing. "Why did you come here?" I asked through gritted teeth, trying to keep my voice low in an effort not to startle the baby as I placed the phone apparatus back to its place."I just said I'm your wife. What's wrong?" she replied, her tone nonchalant as if she had done nothing wrong."Wife? You are not my wife!" I exclaimed, my frustration growing by the sec
As we stepped out of the building, I could not help but notice the envious glances from her colleagues. We made our way to a cozy Italian restaurant that I had made reservations at. The aroma of freshly baked bread and herbs wafted through the air as we entered, making my stomach growl with hunger.Once Laia and I were seated, I ordered a pitcher of fresh lemon juice and appetizers for us to share. The dishes arrived within minutes of placing our order, but the pasta and steak that we had ordered were still being prepared. I had wanted to order a steak for Laia, but she had mentioned not wanting to eat meat due to her morning sickness."Are you sure you don't want to order anything else?" I asked, concern etched on my face as I noticed her pale complexion and the dark circles under her eyes."I’m fine. Don't worry too much," she reassured me with a subtle smile as she sipped her juice.I had something on my mind that I wanted to talk to her about, b
As I pulled into the parking lot of our apartment complex, I hesitated before turning off the engine. My mind was a jumbled mess of emotions, still reeling from the DNA test I had just taken.I couldn't shake off the feeling of dread that had settled in my stomach since Tiffany's threat to tear me and Laia apart.Before I left the hospital, Tiffany had reminded me that once the result was out, she'll do her best to do everything to get me back, even by force. I couldn't understand what gains she would achieve for wrecking my newly formed family. I don't even have anything she can take from me. The wealth and position I have is not even mine in the first place, and it will all be gone once I made a mistake according to my contract with Laia's father.Though I had known that Tiffany was obsessed with me, I never could have imagined her going to such lengths after our break-up two years ago. I know I needed to talk to Laia about it, but I don't know how to bring up
My mind was filled with a whirlwind of emotions as I struggled to process the impact of her words. It was a foreign feeling to me, as Laia had always been distant in our conversations, keeping a careful distance between us.But today, everything felt different. Her words echoed in my head, ringing with truth and conviction. I felt a warmth in my chest, as if her trust in me was a beacon of hope in the midst of the chaos and confusion that had consumed my life.As I approached the nurse's station, I couldn't help but reflect on the events that had led me to this point. The sudden appearance of a child claiming to be mine, and the subsequent questions that followed. And now, my wife's unwavering trust in me, even in the face of all the uncertainty.I felt a mix of gratitude and fear as I confirmed Laia's schedule with the nurse. Gratitude for having someone who believed in me, even when the world seemed to be against me, and fear of letting her down. But I was det
A fresh and sweet scent tickled my nose as I woke up. I can still feel one of my hands placed on my wife's belly as she lay her head on my arm. I pulled her closer, snuggling her bare skin under the thick blanket as I indulged myself in the scent of her hair.The steady rise and fall of her chest and her calm heartbeat, sends calmness amidst the chaos in my mind."Can we be like this always?" I whispered in a low voice.Laia suddenly groaned as she turned to face me, pressing her head against my bare chest. "I'm not sure what you're talking about. But... You're well aware that Nina already said we should only do this in moderation," she murmured as she tucked her leg between mine while resting her arm on my side as if she's hugging a pillow.I chuckled though I felt quite aroused by her movement and her words. "I know. I'm talking about mornings like this, where we just snuggle up in bed, cuddling one another as we share warmth during this cold season."
