Is everything alright?
"Kelsie, stand up!" Natalia was thrilled but I felt the opposite. I slowly sat up and my gaze landed on Olivia behind Natalia's group of tables. The bitch face was indescribable and like something bitter was poured into her.
When I was able to stand on my two quivering legs, I inhaled a deep breath. All eyes were on me and I felt pressured to the core. I did a few steps but it was hard for me to go on. I'm not used to the kind of introduction and to face a lot of prominent and business people is no joke at all.
"Kelsie, calm down," Natalia held my hand and pressed it gently. "C'mon I'll send you to the podium," her thoughtfulness eased a bit of my emotion. We walked slowly and as soon as we reached the stairs up to the platform, Brent met me and stretched his hand for me to accept.
"I'm sorry, baby. I know I surprised you," he apologized sweetly. He mentioned being surprised but for me, I wasn't. Truth be told, I'm shocked and totally panicked. My

Aira pulled us together in the couch area and I could tell that Hailey is not in her usual self. The latter was acting odd since the previous night. Her energy was drained and like spirits were lifted away from her physically.I cleared my throat, "I met Gregory Linch last night," and spoke carefully. "I know he's the reason why you're acting strange," I held her hand and squeezed it gently. "Did you meet him last night?" I furrowed my brows and she shook her head instantly.We talked about it for almost half an hour and I've learned that Hailey's father's abrupt decision to attend the party upsets her. A day before that event, Zach informed her that their father couldn't make it due to prior engagement but changed his mind at the last minute. She was aware he's coming that was why she stayed away from the crowd and chose to spend her evening far from the people she knew to avoid any drama."And what about Hunter?" I couldn't shove her rude treatment to th

I decided not to pursue my law school because I knew that my coming days will be occupied. Natalia kept on pestering me about the preparation of the wedding and I appreciate all her ideas. I could tell that she's more excited than us and I understood that as a mother, every step in his only son's life is worthy of celebration."I like this design," I let Hailey do the wardrobe preparations. She's best in fashion and it's her cup of tea. She felt flattered when I told her that I will trust all the clothing in her hands."What wedding motif do you want?" Aira asked in good spirits while checking all the dresses that are hung in a rack at one of the best couturiers in town. Brent did not accompany us because I insisted it will be all girls bonding time. His suit could be measured anytime as soon as Hailey and I could choose the materials, design, and other things needed for the preparation of wardrobes."I like this vintage sunset orange. What do you think?"
Screaming Hearts This is not fun!
"How are you feeling?" Hailey was ecstatic because it's my wedding ceremony the next day. We were at a suite of a hotel pampering ourselves with beauty products she brought for us. "I'm nervous," I replied weakly and I was clearly unease.I recalled the previous night when Natalia hosted a small dinner gathering for all of us. The night was magical and I felt grateful for all the efforts she rendered to all of us. I wasn't able to have a bridal shower because I don't have a lot of people in my life to gather as I'm only living on my own aside from my friends. Natalia suggested that dinner and it served as a replacement party. Truth be told, our intimate garden wedding is only good for twenty people.To ease my emotion a bit, I changed our topic with Haileys. "Will you please tell us what really happened that night in the club?" I pursed my lips into a thin line. "Yes, I'm dying to hear it too!" our best supporting friend interjected from the washroom.
Screaming Hearts We can sort this out
I felt I was crushed into million pieces on the outcome of my actions. It was really true that regret comes at every end of our wrong decisions in life. But my intentions had a basis until I learned the truth of what really happened to my father. I knew that I humiliated Brent in front of his family and closest friends and I don't deserve their forgiveness.I'm so sorry," I told them repeatedly how much I remorse my evil plan of revenge. Natalia somehow understood my actions though I knew that she's a little disappointed that Brent was hurting. Only if I knew sooner about the truth, I might not be psychologically persecuted by my father. She knew that I was really bothered between my love for my father and my love for Brent. What concerned me the most was if Brent would believe me that I really love him despite that revenge I plotted on him."Prove to him that you really love him," Natalia convinced me carefully for us to settle our issues. I felt grateful
Screaming Hearts Please help me
Emotionally distressed, I hailed a cab back to Hailey's apartment. While on our way, I was sobbing still that the driver got worried about me. "Are you alright?" he said softly but I shook my head. "Do you need anything?" he was trying to soothe me but my mind was wholly unfunctional.My phone quivered and when I checked on it, Hailey was calling me. I pushed the green button in loudspeaker and right away, "Where are you now?" she asked in a concerned tone.I told her that I'm on their street and in a few will step down of a cab. But before I could end the call, I felt the car wiggled alarmingly. "What is happening?" I felt really nervous because the driver was trying to maneuver and stop the car but it was hard. "Please, hold tight!" he exclaimed seriously before we crashed on a tree on the left side of the road."Kelsie! Kelsie!" I could hear Hailey freaked out from the other line but I felt really dizzy that I wasn't able to respond. The impact was strong and

"Is my munchkin hungry? Do you want your carrots?" my one year and ten months old son was on the couch crying after watching his favorite cartoon movie. He always does that whenever he wanted to eat but I make sure he's more on vegetables than chips.I picked him up and placed him on his booster chair in the dining so that I can assist him with his food properly. I was putting a portion of food on his plate when I recalled what happened in the past."Kelsie, take good care of yourself okay?" the worry was strongly visible in Hailey's eyes. She couldn't send me to Arizona because she was just being careful. She didn't want the people around her to have a suspicion that the three of us are missing, especially Hunter. That man was persistent in wooing Hailey and he's a friend to Brent.I had no idea how deep she compromised for me to be able to leave California silently. On the second night of my stay at that hospital, we were discharged and prescribed medici

When I arrived in Scottsdale, I only have a few thousand dollars in my account. That money was my savings from working in Brent's company in that short period of time. That was able to suffice all my financial needs basically in my checkups and my son's necessities.Hailey and Aira were able to share extra money for me even though I strongly opposed them. It wasn't necessary because they've already helped me immensely in all aspects. Besides, grandma Suzzane is the most generous when it comes to our food and essentials inside the house. She did not allow me to spend even a single penny in our house budget because she said she can handle everything. It's not that our budget in a month costs so much but only a few hundred dollars since we aren't renting a house nor paying the mortgage because she owned the property.Suzanne did a great help especially on how to properly take good care of my son. If it wasn't for her, I couldn't imagine where to put up first. She ne

In the afternoon, "Safe travel, darling," Grandma hugged me tightly for one more time. She drove me to the train station with my munchkin on his baby seat at the back of the car. "Be good to Grandma, okay?" I kissed him before I pulled my small suitcase from the side. "I'll be back soon, grandma," I told her and she ensured she will take good care of Louie which I'm complacent that she will.Aira was informed ahead of time of the details of my arrival in Los Angeles. While on my trip, I kept on messaging her on the condition of Hailey but still, she's not awake. I was tempted to open the news portal of California because certainly, the accident of Hailey was reported. Of course, Hailey's identity was exposed and Hunter is one of the infamous businessmen.I contemplated for a moment but held myself not to because I'm afraid I could see an article connected with Davis.
