It felt like we were going to give the exam of our life. I could feel the waves of anxiety radiating off Nick as he drove the car in silence. I could feel he was bottling his emotions inside him, I could feel that he was determined to do what he had to do.I could feel he was worried about his daughter.Kia was his daughter and no one deserves to take her away from him.Before leaving for the mansion, I'd called Aiden so that he can be with Kia in case she gets up at midnight.My leg bounced up and down as the car accelerated down the long road. In less than a minute, his hand came to my knee stopping my leg movements. I felt a bloody zoo in my stomach with his single gesture and when I looked at him, he made it look so casual. He seemed too focused on his driving.The night was dark, I could barely make out the road in front of me. All I could see was the red neon lights of the gas stations and the cars that were driving by us. My heart was pounding against my chest. As we approached

It's been five weeks since Evans' and Tara's wedding and I was genuinely happy and relieved when everything happened amazingly without any complications.The very same day I proposed to Nick and by God, I'll never be able to forget the moment when I saw his eyes tearing with happiness. He couldn't hold back his emotions and he told me that he'd love to spend the rest of his life with me.He told me how he'd always imagined me as his wife.When did I become so lucky again?And tomorrow I was going to permanently write these luck lines in my hand. Tomorrow I was going to make my fake fiancé my husband for real.I'm going to marry my Nicolas Arnold.I've been so excited by the prospect of this moment that I can't even sleep. I didn't sleep even a wink and neither did he. How do I know? Well, he'd been messaging me every second since Mama had kept him away from me for the last thirty-two hours.In her words, it's unfortunate for the bride and groom to meet before the wedding.Moms!Only i

It's been three weeks since our wedding and I've been the happiest since then would be an understatement.These weeks have been a whirlwind of emotions and I think I've been on cloud nine more times than I can remember. I feel so blessed that I get to wake up next to the man I love every single day.My husband is the most amazing man I've ever met in my life, sometimes I feel I'm living my own fairytale with him. He not only respects my choices but also my emotions. I don't think I've ever felt so loved and accepted by anyone. And sometimes I genuinely feel that he's too generous to be real.Just to make sure I don't get uncomfortable, he waited for a whole bloody week before making a public appearance with me which was a big deal since along with it, he was also going to announce the company he built in name of Kia and Amara."Arielle Summers Arnold, my wife." His words are still fresh in my mind and it makes me smile. The look of pride he had when announcing the same was something I

Peace.It's been peace with him. Every single day has been a reminder of how lucky I'm to have a great husband like Nick.How these six years passed, I couldn't know. It's not like it was a straight line. It was more like an unpredictable track. I guess it was the best part of my life and I wouldn't trade it for anything.I was really proud of my husband. He had successfully overtaken his other company and his vision of getting Arnold empire back in Mama's hands was completed. And as much as I was feeling bad for his father, he hurt Mama and however hard we try, it's impossible to forgive his deeds.Anyway, Caleb and Kia's bond had grown, Kia had always been smart and intellectual for her age but as she grew up, she accepted him as her father but that doesn't mean it affected her relationship with her Nicky Uncle, all it did was get stronger.He was genuinely happy when Kia told him that she accepted Caleb as her father doesn't mean she loved him more.He was the one who gave her the l

I officially hate my friends.Here I was in a crisis and they were messing around. It was the worst time for them to joke around and not take things seriously.I had never felt so betrayed in my life.My friends were laughing hysterically, but I was in no mood for their antics."This isn't funny, idiots." I shouted as I walked to Mama and laid my head on her lap as she glared at the two of them."Both of them, if you don't stop now I will kick your asses out of here."This made them shut up."I'm still unable to wrap my head around the fact that you, a charmer managed to get a girl so angry she slapped you... twice.", My face twisted in shame and embarrassment as the morons started to laugh again."Two slaps and a punch in the gut, Mama.", Nicolas F*cking Arnold, as Arielle used to say in the past, seemed perfect for the moment to me.Bastard!The reason I was so mad was not just because they were making fun of me, but also because, f*ck I felt too furious, how could that woman, that st
