"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.
<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
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. I didn't want to bother my emotion on whatever that I may happen to read about them. That time I
I cursed all the expletives that I know inside my head. I lifted my gaze to met his and my emotion was indescribable. He was on a polo shirt and his tone muscles are clearly noticeable. I could see that he grew a beard and still looks so divine. Truth be told, he's a whole lot hotter and upgraded since the day I left.His gaze went down to my left hand and I didn't know if he's checking my ring finger. I'm not wearing any ring because I have nothing to slip. I was able to return the engagement ring he gave to me in the past. I left it to Hailey and she said she handed it over to Hunter. The latter returned it to Brent and Hailey confirmed it to me. On why Hailey did not do it personally, she didn't want to talk to Brent and also to avoid any interrogation about me if ever Brent happen to ask.He put his hands on either of his pockets and exhaled a deep breath. "I was told that you're here," he spoke calmly and I couldn't decipher what did he mean about that.
"Did you miss mommy?" I carried my son as soon as I arrived in Scottsdale. "Are you a good boy to Grandma?" I kissed him and it was evident that I missed him so much. "Mommy, play," he pointed to his toys and I put him down on the floor.I was spending time playing with my son while Grandma Suzzane got so busy preparing our dinner. She let me stay with Louie because she knew how I missed my son on those two days that I'm away.I shared with Grandma what happened in Los Angeles. She felt relieved that Hailey survived the accident. I told her that Aira is doing well and enjoys her job. She asked me about the father of my son and I opened up about him. I couldn't lie in front of her and admitted that Brent still has an impact on me. That day we'd seen each other again, I knew in my heart that I'm still affected by his presence. Truth be told, I still love him. Though few years had passed, I knew that my love for him still lingered in my system and I believe it
Before Brent left the house that day, he spent a few hours with his son. He tried Louie to familiarize his face by playing with him and his toys. My son was timid the first few minutes but was able to let go of his fear and eventually played with his father.Right after he left, I dialed Aira and shared the unpleasant news. She was shocked and couldn't believe Brent hired someone to follow me that moment he learned I was back in California. We concluded that the call he received when he was in the hospital was from his investigator. Certainly, he was updated that I'm already at the train station leaving the state again.The two of us decided not to tell Hailey yet since she's recuperating from her injuries. Instead, we agreed that Louie and I will stay at her apartment while I'm looking for a job online. I had no other choice but to compromise my emotion than to create trouble with those people who helped me in the past. I opted to endure the awful feelings that I may
