"It's your wedding day bro, maybe smile a little." Hailey said, arranging Marcel's tie. She was wearing a mini blue gown that Abigail got for her and she was excited. More excited than her brother was.Marcel wore a black tuxedo, his hair was made to fall a little over his face and his shoes were the darkest shades of black. He had his hands beside him balled into fists. He didn't realize it until Hailey pointed it out. His head was plagued with the thought of Racheal. It was a week after lunch with Abigail and he confronted her and she had gotten mad.Granted he had been less than tactical in his approach but that was because he was hurt. She had stormed out furious at him. She has not picked any of his phone calls since then and Marcel was worried. He knew she was okay but he was scared she'd do something that would jeopardize their relationship again."It's Rachel, we had an argument a few days ago." He finally admitted. "You are choking me Hails." His hands went up the collar
The vibration of music from the yard echoed throughout the mansion. The laughter of kids running around filled the air with joy and happiness. The smell of various delicacies painted every single part of the mansion. Abigail stared down at the party from the second floor of her mansion examining the happenings. Walter had done a good job in organizing the party. He had gotten great souvenirs and managed to get Blake ice, a musician that was loved by kids but he wasn't out yet he was in one of the guest rooms waiting for his cue.The bouncing castle had a handful of kids bouncing on it. It was shaped like a castle. There were three of them and each of them belonged to each of the triplets. They were all spread across the yard. Balloons were neatly mounted on each throne made for the triplets. She watched as Maurice and Elise played skip rope with their friends. They were both dressed in princess gowns that were knee length with a crown. Maurice wore a pink gown and Elise wore a purp
All eyes were fixed on the strange man that stood across the table. The silence stretched on for what felt like years. The chirping sound of crickets gave the atmosphere a more awkward setting. It was as if time had stood still.Marcel decided to break the silence,"it's nice to meet y'all, Abigail has told me a lot about you" Denise, Maurice and Elise's eyes were still fixed on the man that claimed to be their mother's husband and father their expressions was of pure curiousity and confusion.Elise was the first to walk forward. She climbed down her chair almost spilling her apple juice in the process. She walked up to Marcel with boldness and curiousity of a cat."Hi, I'm Elise" she chirped. "... and those two…" she pointed at her siblings who were still staring at Marcel like they had just seen a dragon in real life. With admiration and caution."... are my siblings, Maurice and Denise," the little girl said as she smiled up at the tall man."Nice to meet you Elise""I'm Mar
There was not very many things that could bring Abigail Weston down. She was the only daughter of her father in a household that prioritized men, her two siblings had died at a very young age, one when he was two years old and the other when she was eight months old , all of that event had played a part in making Abigail who she was now. A stoic go-getter. She was a shark in the business world but when it came to family she was always at a loss."How in the world did he get another one of our clients?" The room was tense. The employees all averted their eyes as Abigail spoke."Walter, who was in charge of Mr Rogers?""Um Kenny ma."Abigail turned to Kennedy who looked about ready to combust where he sat."Ken you were sent to close the deal with Mr Rogers and you said and I quote... *We have him on our team* am I correct?"Abigail waited for an answer from the young man who was shaking under her scrutiny."Am I correct?" Her voice boomed across the room."Yes ma'am." The brown head
Marcel's eyes opened to the rise of the sun, it was a Sunday morning. Memories of last night came flooding back. Meeting Abigail's kids was not as scary as he thoughtt, they were cute with each of their own unique personality. Maurice was the quiet observant one. Elise was the bold loud one and Denise was something else entirely. It felt like he got to see two sides of him in just one night, he reminded him of him a lot. Proud but unsure, loving and protective. He saw that as he watched his sister closely. He was truly the man of the house.A knock on the door got him out of his bed in no time, he quickly put on a grey sweatpants and grey t-shirt. He crossed the distance to his door and opened. It was Hailey standing outside. She wore a black playsuit with a v neckline her blonde hair was left to fly around her shoulders. A heart shaped necklace laid on her chest."Good morning bro" Hailey said in a sing-song voice eliciting an eye roll from her brother.Marcel noticed a box and a br
"It's not what you think!" Stephanie screamed as she tried to detangle herself from the man in her bed... Abigail closed the door of the room and stepped back a little, she hadn't moved five steps when Stephanie came running out. She looked deshelved as she approached her. Smoothening her hair and clothes she spoke "You didn't see anything in there." Stephanie pleaded with her eyes. Abigail was not buying it through. "You mean the man you were tangled up with thee minutes ago isn't real?" "Abigail stop it." Abigail's eyes narrowed into slits. Even though Stephanie is her closet best friend and might even pass off as her best friend, she couldn't turn a blind eye on the fact that her friend is cheating on her boyfriend. She hates cheaters just as much as she hates men. "What is really going on between you and Chad, why are you out here cheating on him? With whoever that man is?" "Nothing!" Stephanie said looking away in what Abigail interpreted as shame. "Okay. I'm disgusted by
The sound of laughter filled the room with palpable joy. Marcel was telling the kids a story as they ate dinner and they were as attentive as a cat would be to their prey. He complimented the food they made for him a few times as he told them an engaging story about his time in the army.Hailey listened too, laughing at Marcel's obvious exaggerations.Abigail sat in silence, content. Her and Marcel had decided to give the kids an explanation as to why Marcel had not been around the last few years, and the only idea they could come up with... is that he was fighting in a war... which was partly true.Marcel had gone to military school for a year but he definitely did not fight in any wars."That's so cool." Elise eyes widened at something Marcel said. Abigail was not paying too much attention to the conversation. She was conscious of the time, she had some emails to go over and still had to call Zedra Ashton to finalize their deal."So, here I was alone, hungry and tired when all of
Abigail nods her head putting his words into consideration, “Yeah that’s true. I will think of something and get back to you.”"Alright.” Marcel said simply absent mindedlyThere it was again the absent cold one word answers. She wondered what was going on with him, she would have love to ask him but decided to keep shut and mind her business.His demeanor wasn't affecting his interaction with her kids so she was fine with it, actually… she preferred it. If it persisted she'd have to confront him but for now she had work to do."Alright then.” She said and walked the other direction to her bedroom.She proceeded to get some work done after a bath and later on to call Zedra Ashton.*************Next Day*************"Shit" Abigail exclaimed as she checked the time. She quickly put on her silk emerald robe and her fuzzy bunny slippers and rushed to her kids room.She opened the door to find none of them in the room."Denise!" She yelled."Elise!" They weren't on their balcony either.
