The next three months went by quickly. Tyler and I saw each other every day and we became inseparable. Last month he had thrown me a gender reveal party and invited my mom. He had won my mom over in less than thirty seconds.I felt truly blessed to have him in my life.Today he had booked me a special session at the spa. I had the most wonderful experience now that Andrea had taken over as the manager.Once the massage was over, I soaked myself in the jacuzzi for half an hour before heading to the bathroom for my clothes.I looked at the shelf where my clothes had been and they were replaced with an elegant evening dress. I picked it up and touched the gems on the front.It was a beautiful baby blue with a silver underlining. I rubbed the soft material against my cheek. It looked and felt expensive.Once I was dressed, I twirled in front of the mirror. My big baby bump was visible. Under the pleats and u admired it in the mirror. I wondered if this was a baby shower that he had planne
The big event that I had thought was a baby shower was actually my engagement. It would probably be the best memory in my life, other than the wedding." Have you two set a date for the wedding." my mom asked."Yes. The 27th of April." I replied excitedly." In a month's time?" She questioned."We want to be husband and wife before the baby arrives, so he can have my last name." Tyler replied as I browsed through wedding catalogues.My mom smiled and nodded as she looked through some catalogues.Tyler left us early and returned to work as we sat in the bridal boutique,looking at the brochures and packages.I could not decide on a colour and theme and asked for a few catalogues to take home.It was late afternoon when we left the boutique and the sun was setting rapidly.There was no parking and my mom had parked a block down the street. I had seen a man hovering around the boutique earlier that afternoon. He looked suspicious but when we left ,the streets were empty.We hurriedly walk
I tossed and turned all night, and when I awoke I felt it in my bones. It was Seth. He is the one that wants to harm me. Me and my baby. I could feel my hands shaking as the anger coursed through my veins. It was at this moment I started to plan my revenge.Tyler fetched me in the morning for a coffee date. I had stopped working since the engagement. " You seem tense." He said as his brows furrowed deeply on his handsome face.I took a deep breath and began to tell him everything. From the words that echoed in my head to the revenge that had entered my heart." I need this, so I can move on." I cried." Are you sure it is him?" Tyler asked." Please can you just help me. Follow my plan. Please. I am begging you." I squeezed his hand between mine.Tyler finally agreed and I felt a huge burden lifting off my shoulders." If this helps you heal so we can move forward, I will do it." Tyler wiped my tears and kissed my forehead.Tyler had set off to New Jersey that afternoon. He bid me f
I stood at the window looking out at the beautiful view of my wedding venue. It was the the secret garden. The wedding alter was draped with ferns and bright yellow sunflowers. The pillars leading to the alter had big bouquets of sunflowers and magnolias. The chairs were white and gold, each draped with vines and ferns. It was every girls dream wedding. I took in the beauty and was lost in my thoughts when I heard the door open." It's bad luck to see the bride before the wedding?" I said. I still did not avert my gaze from the window.There was silence." Are you getting cold feet?" I added playfully.When there was still no answer I turned around,hoping that I wasn't just talking to myself.My bouquet fell from my hands as I looked at the man in front of me."Seth?" I babbled looking at him in shock."Yes. Larna. I am here to apologize. Please don't do this. I am sorry. Please take me back. I was a fool." Seth replied in an almost desperate tone." What sort of apology is this? How
Sometimes I, Sarah White, sat and fantasized about things ending. Before I went to sleep at night I prayed, asking for forgiveness for my thoughts. I would fantasize about some rich lady that Jacob would be having an affair with. She would pull up outside our house and he would pack his bags, telling me his leaving and leave with her. I somehow felt relieved that he was gone. It made things so much easier than me thinking of walking out because in today's society ,men are never wrong. It is always the woman who takes the blame for a failed marriage, for her husband's faults. I worried about what people thought. I felt as if it was a label placed on my forehead and will haunt me for the rest of my life.Although sometimes I thought it would hurt if he left but I somehow always felt a relief as if this burden was lifted off my shoulders.I just fantasized about that because he always sunk the words deep in my head that if I left him, he would have no where to go and then be would start
Was it his birthday?I couldn't really tell.But now when I look back I wasn't sure of anything.Sometimes he made me feel as if I was making stuff up. He had disenabled me by causing friction between my family and I. I was totally secluded and Jacob was the only person I had.It was as if he was in my head. I felt alone and the more I thought about it the more I didn't want to be on this earth.I had felt as if my family had abandoned me. The more Jacob treated me as a doormat, the deeper I fell into depression. There was no one there to understand me. Everyday I came from work and focused on the kids so that I didn't have to talk to Jacob.I just didn't know when the love ended but it did.It could have been in the beginning of the marriage when he started f***ING Shontel because life was never the same after seeing that text. I knew deep down in my heart I meant sh** to him.I blamed myself. Maybe I was just not good enough. Maybe I wasn't pretty enough. Maybe I wasn't black eno
It wasn't all but a dream. The next morning I received a message over social media.It was him. He was checking up if I was alright. He knew me well and I guess that he picked up that this wasn't me. At first I played it cool, eventually I couldn't hold it in any longer.After letting out every bit of sadness that made a home in my heart, I felt relieved.The next afternoon,Grant came over with a pack of beers. Everyday we spoke and everyday I complained.Maybe I shouldn't have complained. Maybe I shouldn't have spoken.But for once I actually felt happy. For once I was actually being heard. Someone was taking my thoughts and feelings into consideration. Although I was the one who had cut all ties with him for a misunderstanding that was never about him, he was still the same caring person as always.Thinking back about that misunderstanding:I had just started a new job and I decided to take out a life cover for my dad who had asked me to.He felt that we should at some point bene
Grant texted me all day, listening to my complaints about my other half.He listened without judgement and I knew as usual he wouldn't believe me.No one did.until....He started staying over more frequently.we because close and I started to feel attracted to him.The distance between Jacob and I grew wider and wider until it was just a large empty space.I don't know when that happened and when the gap between Grant and I became non existent.I don't know when I had these feelings but they were there and it was hard to ignore.As the days went by I tried to reach out to Jacob.I called him up one day and asked him to spend lunch with me. His cold reply brought tears to my eyes. " I see you everyday. I don't need to spend lunch time with you and besides I already have plans."As Grant saw the coldness in Jacob everyday , he tried to make me happier.He invited me to lunch and I accepted.I drove to his work place and he ordered food.It was the first time trying this new restaurant
