ANDREWThe sound of crashes was heard from Andrew's room. He was drunk and angry and that wasn't a good combination for someone like him.His mind flashed back to the morning time when he saw Manny quietly leave the house. He had come down for their ‘talk’ but it looked like she had other plans.Her cries from last night filled his ears and he threw the cup to the wall again. The floor was with shattered pieces of glass, he roughly put his hand through his hair as he tried to think of what to do, he had never been in this kind of situation before.A knock interrupted him as he poured himself another drink and he yelled, “What!?” “Sir, there's a call for you.” A timid voice spoke out.“Come in” He replied, his voice gruff, and a little girl entered the room with a phone in her hand, her eyes down to the floor, she dared not look at him.“Yes?” Andrew answered rudely to the phone.Mr Cooper? Your wife is at the station.”He froze.“Station?” “Yes sir, she was arrested.”Andrew stayed
MANNYVery early the next day, Manny snuck out.The most stupid thing Andrew did was to trust that Manny would stay put. He placed no guards to watch over, in thought that she wouldn't leave. But Manny saw a chance and took it.It took a lot to convince the chauffeur to take her back to her mother's mansion. After a long back and forth, he finally agreed and they hit the road.Manny had thought very hard about her decision and she knew it was for the best.She would just hide out in her house till it all died down, it might take a while but eventually, another news would come up and everyone would forget about her big scandal.As they drove away, Manny could feel that the house she once dreaded would be missed all because of one person, but she would surely return to him.Now she was going to live with the evil queen and honestly, she didn't know what to expect. Will her mother welcome her with open arms? Or will she do as she has always done, pretend like she did have a daughter?It
MANNY The next day, Manny dressed in a red flowing gown, she looked elegant and stunning as the dress shaped her belly perfectly well. She was going to give a mother a little surprise, and she might probably have a heart attack when she sees her. She got into the car and was off to work. The driver kept glancing at her and hoped she would change her mind considering the situation. It was a bad time for whatever it was she wanted to do. As Manny arrived at the fashion house and stepped out, flashes of cameras from the media blinded her. Reporters shoved mics in her face, wanting to get a statement from her, anything, to satisfy their thirst for gossip. 'Miss Larson, did you really set up a hotel on fire…’ Manny stood in front of the entrance and turned to them. She looked like she was about to say something so they all gathered in front of her while the security guards tried to maintain distance. “What do you have to say about the trending video..?” A report asked but Manny sta
MANNYAndrew was speeding off to Leura the next morning. He couldn't wait another second before he saw her.He had an urgent business meeting, so he was going to see her and then return to the city all in one day. He had decided that it was for the best if she stayed there for the time being, they both had no idea when the current problem was going to blow over and he just wanted his wife to rest since she'd be delivering his baby in the next two months.That didn't mean he had forgotten about Kate and her son, or the DNA test results. He was simply taking his time and as soon as he got the results, he would make his decision and they all have to respect it.Andrew stood at the entrance of the old lady's door, Miranda, dripping wet from the rain that was still falling as he knocked. He beamed with happiness as his wife’s familiar face was the first thing he saw immediately when the door opened.But Manny had failed to mention the surprise she got late last night. So the smile that lit
ANDREW“The DNA result." Jason smirked proudly as he delivered his work.“What took you so long?” Andrew asked straight up, still holding the envelope, reluctant to open it.“Open it! What are you waiting for?” His father commanded but he didn't want to open it just yet. What if it was really his child? How would he tell Manny that? He was going to wait till he got home.“Give it to me.” Mr Allen ordered.Andrew sighed and stretched it to his father who snatched the result from his hand and tore it open.In haste, he skimmed through, looking for that important sentence, that sentence that would determine everything.Mr Allen’s breath caught in his throat for a minute there, it was like his soul had left his body as he continued to stare at the paper, his eyes on that particle sentence.With a better composure and an expressionless face, he dropped the paper, silence took over the place.“So?" Andrew asked expectantly, his father gazed at him, gesturing to the open envelope.“See for
MANNYManny had spent two weeks in Miranda's place, two weeks of eating and sleeping, and a week of not hearing from Andrew.He's been silent all week and his phone was either switched off or not available. It was driving her crazy, if something had happened to him, she would have known, and it would have been all over the news. The only thing on the news was her previous stunt and past story, people seemed to be engaging with it each passing day and it left a big dent in the fashion house.How did she know? Her mother had left dozens of messages on her email, threatening to freeze all her assets if she didn't come back to work and fix the problem she had caused. And like she did every day, she ignored her message.Manny sighed for the umpteenth time as she checked her phone again. She dropped the phone as it had burned her and took a sip of her orange juice.She's been awake since 6:00 a.m., sitting at the dining table, expecting calls from her husband.Her phone beeped and she quic
MANNYManny felt her heart pound hard in her chest, it was all she could hear.Her gaze shifted between Andrew and the breaker. The child was his?She had held onto a little bit of hope that maybe all this was a mistake, a ruse, but it wasn't, the child was his and he was going to leave her.She wanted to get angry but she couldn't, the news had drained any bit of strength she had left and the look on Andrew's face broke her all over again.Heavily and subconsciously, she dragged herself to him. Andrew watched as Manny walked over to him, what was she going to do now?The last time she came to him in that manner, he nursed a sore cheek. Manny stood before him, tearful. It pained her to know she was carrying his first son.With teary eyes, he gave him the best hug her belly could allow. Though surprised, Andrew wrapped his hands around her, he hadn't expected her to do that, but still, he was glad she did.Andrew was the one with tear-filled eyes, but his wife was the one crying. She h
MANNYAndrew went to work and left both Kate and Manny at home—only if he knew the disaster it would create he would have done otherwise.Manny left Kate at the table and headed to the living room, a bowl of ice cream and chocolate on each hand.She was already one step in when she saw a surprise visitor and quickly turned around to walk away.“Don't even try it." Kari said as she spotted Manny. What she felt was beyond anger, how could her own daughter do something so terrible to tarnish her image?“Mother." Manny greeted curtly, the giddy feeling she had was no more.“Don't be rude." Kari remarked, sat down, and looked at Manny, expecting her to do the same. She wanted to clear things out.Realizing this, Manny sighed and took her seat. Seeing her mother already made the day a bad one.“You think I won't know when you return, I have people watching Manny." A sneer appeared on her face as she talked to her daughter but all Manny could think of was how after the conversation, she was
