“Yes, I'll surely have s*x with my hubby if he can walk but I don't have to worry about you taking advantage of me because you are crippled. Sorry, that came out harsh. I meant to say cause you can't walk so I know I'll enjoy this marriage in peace,” Whitney retorted. She was talking so seriously that she didn't notice the discreet smile on Maverick's face. 'We will see about that wifey,' he thought as he stared at her with a hidden emotion in his eyes. “You won't go back on your words, will you?,” he asked and she shook her head sideways to indicate no. She looked at him suspiciously and asked, “Why are you asking me this?” “Nothing. Oh! The ring I ordered for us will arrive today. Please don't burst into tears when you see the ring,” he pleaded teasingly. She pouted again. Ever since that day that she cried over the ring, he has never stopped teasing her. “Stop it. Stop making me feel embarrassed over and over again. You were acting so sweet that day that I couldn't help

Janiece waited outside the school gate for Asher impatiently. It was the school closing hour. She was still surprised that she didn't get any message from the school. She raised her head to see Asher walking towards her looking neat and a gasp left her mouth because his school uniform usually looks dirty since he gets into fights easily. "Mom," Asher called as he tapped her getting her back to reality. She blinked her eyes repeatedly as she looked at her son who was wondering, 'What the heck is wrong with Mom? Why is she staring into space?' "Did you have a hard time at work?" Asher asked while Janiece still stared at him wondering if he is her son or someone else in his form. "Asher, is this you?," Janiece asked, squatting to reach his level. Asher stared at her with his narrowed eyes which says 'Do I look different or something is wrong with your eyes?' He even had a frown on his face as he asked, "Do I have a twin?" It was then Janice realized how dumb her question s

"How could it have slipped my mind?" Jimmy scold himself loud enough for everyone to hear and they all turned to him wondering what skipped his mind. Before Maverick could ask what he is talking about, he already disappeared into Maverick's room. "Kids" Ann shook her head with a smile trying to look cute just to get Maverick's attention. Maverick and Whitney stared at her wondering 'What's wrong with her?' but it did not take long before they looked away and then at each other. Whitney was the first to look away with a silent hiss. Maverick gave her the 'What did I do this time?' look but she didn't see it, unknown to him that she is mad at him because he gives Ann attention or it is just her who thinks he is giving Ann attention. Ann felt embarrassed by the silence that followed what she said. She was expecting Maverick to talk but what is she expecting him to say? "Here it is," Jimmy said sitting on the same spot he stood up from. "Jimmy, don't you know it's wrong to

"Calm down, will you?" Gia said and Karl felt like slapping her, but he restricted himself gently. Even if he doesn't like her, the baby she's carrying is still his, so, he has to control his temper for the sake of the innocent child. "You finally showed up after I informed you about my sister's health," Owen said as he got closer to Karl. " Answer my question! Did you know about it or not?" He asked "What are you talking about?" Gia ask " About Whitney's wedding," he answered " It is about that b*tch again. Can't we have a day of peace? Just a day! Without anyone talking about her? And who gives a damn if she's getting married? Who cares? I am sure she is marrying one of those guys who f*cks her" Gia ranted " You are the b*tch and the whore!" Karl snapped at her with his face coming out harsher. She could not help but hold her chest in fear. Karl's eyes looked like it was on fire. More like he wants to devour her and the only person that can calm him down is Whitney. "Did you

Jimmy and Asher were still seated, waiting for Janiece but it looks like they won't have to wait long this time. Asher raised his head to see Janiece running towards them. Asher pointed at her immediately as he said, "there she is" "Where?!" Jimmy asked with his head raised and his eyes roaming around their surroundings to locate Janiece. "Asher!" Janiece called in her loudest voice as she got closer. "What took you so long?" He inquired with a frown. " I am sorry baby I had a lot of work at the office that needed my attention" she answered. " You should have called in advance," he said " I am sorry, I promise I won't repeat the same mistake" she assured with a bribing smile, you know the type of smile you give someone when you want them to forgive you. "Fine, you are forgiven," he said and Janiece pulled him into a hug. Jimmy watched the scene with a smile on his face and an expression that says he wishes to have his mom too. But instead of thinking of Amber, his mind drifted
