“So how does it feel knowing you don’t have to go to work today or any other day for that matter?” Xander asks me as we lie in bed exhausted from a very intense round of sex.
“Surreal. It feels surreal…You’re not going to the office today are you?”
“Is that a serious question? Ofcos I am not going to the office. There’s no way I am leaving your side for the foreseeable future beautiful, especially not after yesterday. I don’t ever want to feel like that again.”
“How did you guys find me? I was in the middle of nowhere.”
“Your wedding ring has a tracker and we tracked his rental car's GPS as well.”
“My ring has a what?” I ask, looking at my beautiful wedding ring.
“All our jewelry does beautiful, even m

EpilogueA few months later…XanderDuring the last three weeks of Hayley’s pregnancy, her doctor insisted that she should spend them at the hospital. I wasn’t too thrilled by this and was prepared to get a full time midwife and equipment installed at home but then Hayley made me realise it would be safer for the babies if we were in a hospital environment.So here we are going into week three, anxious to meet our babies but also stressed from being in the hospital this long.Hayley is missing her fur babies so I periodically bring them to the hospital and take her outside to the car park to see them. They are also missing her and I have to split my time between the hospital and home. Hayley won’t allow me to stay with her at the hospital because she wants at least one of us home with the dog’s and Sebastian at night.G

PrologueSometimes life has a way of wearing you down. You realize no-one is coming to rescue you and you’re tired of being strong. -Nicole Young.HayleyI keep dialing his number like a mad woman. It goes straight to voicemail. Despite the overwhelming evidence, my heart cannot comprehend what my mind is telling me to be true. That I’ve been played. That the last year of my life has been a lie. That the person that I thought loved me….doesn’t.An hour earlier….“Hayley, I don’t know how to tell you this but if it where me I would want to know.” Says Callie, my work colleague.“The guys have been talking about Keith, they say he's engaged to someone else”.“What?” I say uncomprehending.Keith is my boyfriend of twelve months, we work for the same company in diff

HayleyThe paperwork is signed and I'm waiting outside the car hire place in Quarry road for the keys to my courtesy car.That's when I see him…the most gorgeous man I've ever seen. All I can do is stare. Tall and muscular with spiky black hair. In his black jeans, black t-shirt, oatmeal winter jacket and timberlands, he is a sight to behold. He turns slightly and even at this distance I can see his eyes are a piercing green. Wow. Just wow.He's in the exclusive showroom next door with a few guys I'm guessing are with him.“Mam, your courtesy car is ready"“Thanks" I say as I turn away from the view next door and take the keys the salesperson is offering me.I wish someone like Mr green eyes would notice me, fall in love me, want to have babies with me. I chuckle to myself, lost in my own dream world. I get enough attention to know I'm not ugly, but I’m also not in the same league as Mr green eyes next door.

Grandma HelenIt has been a while since I've been to the beach. I used to go all the time with my husband Peter when we were younger. We would bring our little girl Annie and watch as she had the time of her life chasing sea crabs and building sand castles. I can still hear her sweet giggle as each new wave crashed to where she was patiently waiting for them on the shore. I stare out into the waves as I reminisce about the past. Peter and I had only been blessed with one child… and then my child left her only child to me to take care of. Both my beloved Annie and Peter are gone. It's just me and Xander, Annie’s son now. A lone tear rolls down my cheek as think about the ones I have loved and the time that has passed without them. Xander, is my blessing in all the sadness. My greatest joy. I am proud of the man he has turned into but I want more for him. I want him to feel what I had with my Peter. He has good friends, a good life, but the w

Grandma HelenOver the next couple of weeks, I join Hayley and her adorable mutts on their weekly walks. I tell her about my life and ask about hers. I want to know as much about her as I can before I set my plan into motion. There’s a sadness about her at times and I can’t help but wonder what put that look in her eyes. She’s extremely loyal, that I can tell from just a few conversations. She seems to care about this old women even though she barely knows me. I can tell her work keeps her busy but every time I have asked to see her or talk to her, she has made time for me. None of my grandson’s other girlfriends had even thought to talk to me beyond a “hello" and small talk about the weather. Not to say that they were bad people. They just weren’t right for my grandson. Each time I see Hayley I am more and more convinced that she is the right woman for my Xander.But how do I get th

Hayley Grandma Helen has a specialist appointment today and asked me to come with her. I offered to pick her up but she insisted we meet there. Strange but ok. I've grown really attached to the older women. My own grandparent’s passed away a few years back and so it’s nice to have her around.I'm busy texting a whatsapp message as I enter the reception area of the doctors suite. Then I decide to delete the message altogether. It’s a message from my ex. Yes, the cheating a**hole, that’s now married. It’s just a simple “hi, how are you” message, but I refuse to respond. I am not getting dragged into that mess again.I put my phone away and plaster a bright smile on my face as I look up to greet gran.Only grans not alone. Beside her is Mr green eyes himself, in all his sexy glory. What on earth? I stand there staring at them not quite being able to putt two and two

XanderI stare at her retreating back, still grinning to myself at her blush. I notice gran smiling at me and I hug her to my side “ready to go" I say.Gran keeps the grin in her face as we get into the range rover. She’s quiet, till we enter the massive gates enclosing our property. Then she turns in her seat and faces me.“ In all seriousness Xander, I have something to ask of you and before you say anything, know I've thought long and hard about this and I need you to hear me out with an open mind"“Gran?” I ask, more than a little confused. Just a few minutes ago she was smiling at me and now she’s all serious. What could be going on.Gran holds her hand up to me to stop me from speaking, “ Just listen, my boy. I have always wanted and will always want what’s best for you. You believe that, don’t you?”“Ofcos I do gran"

I do this two more times until I can’t put of getting out of bed any longer and finally pry my eyes open at around 5am, give or take a minute…or five. To say I love sleep is an understatement but unfortunately with my shifts at work, its really hard for my body to adapt to any sort of regular sleep pattern. I don’t have time to grab breakfast as I rush out the door at 6am but this isn’t anything new.I get to work and two people have called in sick with the flu. We are so short staffed. My day goes by in a blur as I handle queries and try to process as many urgent patient samples as possible.By the end of my shift , I’m mentally and physically exhausted and all I want is a hot shower, food and my bed. In that order. The last thing I’m prepared for is to see grandma Helen waiting for me outside my office building. How did she even know where I work, let
