Her delicate skin was mostly hidden under a sheer blanket, with only her arms peeking out, bearing the faint red traces of a night filled with passion.<br /> <br /> Cynthia Jenkins stirred, letting out a soft moan as she woke from her deep sleep. She tried to get up, but her body, still weary and sore, sank back onto the bed.<br /> <br /> Memories from the night before came rushing back, bringing a faint smile to her face. For the first time in their three-year marriage, she and her husband, Nathan Richardson, had made love.<br /> <br /> She noticed Nathan wasn't in the room, and a tinge of disappointment flickered across her face, quickly replaced by composure.<br /> <br /> At the beginning of their marriage, Nathan had been distant, rarely showing any affection. Cynthia couldn't help but wonder if last night marked a turning point, a sign that he had finally accepted her.<br /> <br /> With a flicker of hope, Cynthia rose cheerfully from the bed. The moment her bare feet touched the cold floor, she felt a sudden chill.<br /> <br /> Picking up a blue sapphire cufflink, oddly shaped and shimmering, from the floor, Cynthia widened her eyes in surprise. 'Could this be Nathan's?'<br /> <br /> Thinking of this, Cynthia smiled and placed the cufflink in her bag. Then, she went to freshen up herself before returning home.<br /> <br /> Cynthia had barely stepped out of the door when she ran into an unexpected visitor.<br /> <br /> "Cynthia?" The woman in front of her, dressed in a crisp white dress and possessing a sharp, piercing voice, was Kelly Dixon, the second lady of the Dixon family.<br /> <br /> Cynthia had always been at odds with the Dixon sisters. Jessica Dixon, the eldest lady of the family, was Nathan's first love. But today, Cynthia was in a good mood. "Kelly, what a surprise to see you here."<br /> <br /> "Indeed." Kelly sized up Cynthia with a mocking smile. "If I had arrived a bit earlier or later, I might have missed catching you in the act."<br /> <br /> She pointed at the red marks on Cynthia's arms with disdain. "What is this? You shameless woman! How dare you fooling around with other men behind Nathan's back!"<br /> <br /> Cynthia frowned, "What are you talking about?"<br /> <br /> "Cynthia, I've always known you're shameless, clinging to Nathan. But I never pegged you as someone who'd stoop this low." Kelly's eyes sparkled with the thrill of uncovering a juicy piece of gossip. "Are you really going to say these marks are from a night with Nathan?"<br /> <br /> Before Cynthia could utter a word, Kelly cut her off. "Please, cut the act. Nathan was at the hospital last night, staying by my sister's side. He was too busy to even catch a nap, much less waste time on someone like you."<br /> <br /> Cynthia's face changed dramatically. "Nathan was at the hospital?"<br /> <br /> "Where else would he be? You think he'd come to see you?" Kelly's voice was thick with sarcasm, as if she had just heard something ridiculous. "You've been caught sneaking around with someone else, and I'm not letting this slide so easily!<br /> <br /> "I'm going to show Nathan just how low you can go!" Kelly declared, her resolve unwavering. "I'm calling him right now to come over!"<br /> <br /> Cynthia couldn't absorb a word. Her mind went blank.<br /> <br /> If Nathan had spent the entire night in the hospital, then who was the man who had been so passionately entwined with her last night?<br /> <br /> A sudden realization made Cynthia's face darken.<br /> <br /> She had been set up!<br /> <br /> Yesterday was their three-year wedding anniversary, and Nathan surprisingly messaged her to meet at a hotel.<br /> <br /> Overjoyed and without a second thought, Cynthia rushed over. But when she arrived, Nathan texted to say he would be late and even ordered her some takeout.<br /> <br /> Cynthia, not sensing anything amiss and simply savoring the food, didn't expect to completely lose consciousness after finishing her meal. And that man last night...<br /> <br /> As Cynthia thought about everything that happened last night, her face turned deathly pale. 'How could this happen?'<br /> <br /> "Nathan already hates you for taking Jessica's place, and now, he'll never forgive you!" Kelly said triumphantly after a quick phone call. She stood firmly in Cynthia's path, blocking her exit.<br /> <br /> Cynthia hadn't even considered leaving. She felt a chill run down her spine. Besides, there weren't many people who could send a message using Nathan's phone.<br /> <br /> Soon, Nathan hurried down the corridor. "Kelly, did you need something from me?"<br /> <br /> He glanced at Cynthia with impatience. "What are you doing here? Jessica is still in the hospital. What are you up to now?"<br /> <br /> "I..." Cynthia opened her mouth, her mind in turmoil, unsure how to respond to him.<br /> <br /> "Nathan, I called you here," Kelly interjected eagerly. "I just so happened to see Cynthia sneaking out of a hotel room with some guy. It's serious, so I had to tell you."<br /> <br /> Nathan's face darkened instantly. "Cynthia, is it true?"<br /> <br /> "Would you believe me if I say I was framed?" Cynthia's eyes held a flicker of hope. "It was you who..."<br /> <br /> A smack came!<br /> <br /> Nathan's hand struck her face with a resounding slap, his expression cold and detached.<br /> <br /> "Pathetic! Why would anyone frame you?" Nathan's eyes blazed with anger at the sight of the red marks on Cynthia's arms.<br /> <br /> Even if he had no feelings for Cynthia, she was still his wife in name. This was nothing but a shame to him.<br /> <br /> Kelly watched with a smirk, stirring the pot. "Exactly, you must be delusional to think someone's out to get you.<br /> <br /> "Nathan, she's just lashing out because you're nice to Jessica. I caught her once, but who knows how many times she's cheated on you. Wake up, man."<br /> <br /> "What else do you have to say?" Nathan's gaze was filled with disgust.<br /> <br /> "What can I say?" Cynthia touched her burning cheek, a cold despair settling in her heart. She looked at Nathan, fighting the urge to laugh bitterly. "Nathan, don't you even want to ask why I ended up here?"<br /> <br /> It was ridiculous that her husband seemed to be solely dedicated to helping others deceive her.<br /> <br /> Nathan's eyes were full of disgust. "What exactly are you trying to say?"<br /> <br /> Cynthia felt utterly disheartened. She held up her phone, emphasizing each word. "Your phone sent me a message to come here. I trusted it and showed up. Did you text me, Nathan?"<br /> <br /> Nathan's gaze flickered. Last night, after getting treated, Jessica borrowed his phone...<br /> <br /> "It seems you know now who it was." Cynthia noticed his evasive look and had her suspicions. She smiled through her tears, "Nathan, I'm your wife. I'm the one being framed."<br /> <br /> Kelly quickly interjected, "Nathan, don't fall for her act. She's just looking for an excuse..."<br /> <br /> "This is between me and my husband. It's not your place to interfere," Cynthia retorted, showing her temper in front of Nathan for the first time.<br /> <br /> "You..." Kelly was furious and about to retort.<br /> <br /> However, Nathan had made up his mind at that moment. "I sent the text. I got tied up, sure, but that's no excuse for you cheating!"<br /> <br /> "It seems this is your choice, then." Cynthia's heart turned cold. Despite knowing she was wronged, he still chose to defend that hypocritical woman. She couldn't believe this was the man she loved.<br /> <br /> Nathan didn't show any sign of guilt. "Cynthia, it's you who fooled around with another man. Who else is there to blame?"<br /> <br /> Even though he felt somewhat uncomfortable about what Jessica did, he still firmly sided with her.<br /> <br /> "I was blind to have trusted the wrong person."<br /> <br /> Cynthia closed her eyes, and when she opened them moments later, they were clear and resolved. "Nathan, let's get a divorce."<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> "Cynthia, what on earth are you thinking?" Nathan frowned slightly while Kelly's eyes flickered with surprise.<br /> <br /> Cynthia gave a self-mocking smile. "Nathan, I'm not someone who clings to what I can't have. Remember, I'm the one walking away from you, not the other way around."<br /> <br /> With those words, Cynthia felt a sudden clarity in her heart.<br /> <br /> "Cynthia, you're the one who messed up, but here you are, playing word games. Are you threatening Nathan?" Kelly said, secretly pleased.<br /> <br /> Cynthia glanced coldly at her. "Kelly, sometimes, you should just stay quiet."<br /> <br /> But Nathan's response caught Cynthia off guard. "I don't agree to the divorce."<br /> <br /> Cynthia let out a bitter laugh. "Isn't this what you've always wanted? Now that I'm stepping aside, you can be with Jessica happily ever after. Why disagree?<br /> <br /> "Or is there something more you're after, something you haven't gotten from me yet?" Cynthia's tone shifted, causing a subtle change in the expressions of the two before her.<br /> <br /> She didn't think herself so self-absorbed to believe Nathan still had feelings for her. Their reactions pretty much confirmed her suspicions.<br /> <br /> "I guess I was right." Cynthia curled up her lips. "So, Nathan, what's it gonna take for you to sign those divorce papers?"<br /> <br /> Nathan's eyes were deep and solemn. At this point, there was nothing left to hide. "Jessica's really sick, Cynthia, and you're the only one who can donate a kidney to save her. That's my only condition. Help her, and you won't regret it, I promise."<br /> <br /> Cynthia was thunderstruck, her voice hoarse with disbelief. "You mean, this whole time...you were just after my kidney?"<br /> <br /> "Jessica is the only one Nathan loves. Why else would he marry you if not to save her?" Kelly sneered, and Nathan's look confirmed that she was right.<br /> <br /> Cynthia felt a chill in her heart. It all made sense now. Nathan had initially balked at his grandfather Mark Richardson's suggestion of marrying Cynthia. He had been adamant about marrying Jessica instead, only to abruptly change his mind when Cynthia was nearly ready to walk away.<br /> <br /> She had hoped that, over time, Nathan might come to love her. But she realized now that from the very start, he had been scheming for her kidney!<br /> <br /> "Cynthia," Nathan said, softening his tone deliberately. "Just help me out this one time, and I promise to keep today's drama under wraps. I'll make it worth your while, enough to start over somewhere far away."<br /> <br /> "In your dreams, Nathan." Cynthia emphasized each word. "Sure, I had feelings for you, but not enough to degrade myself like this."<br /> <br /> "Looks like you choose the hard way." Nathan, never one with a good temper, immediately hardened his stance. "If you refuse to donate a kidney to Jessica, I will absolutely not agree to the divorce."<br /> <br /> Cynthia laughed angrily and retorted, "Fine by me. Do you have any idea how hard I worked to marry you? If you want to grow old with me, then so be it."<br /> <br /> "Cynthia!" Nathan's face soured. He was about to speak when Cynthia ruthlessly cut him off.<br /> <br /> "I just give you one chance, Nathan. Be at the Courthouse entrance at 9 AM sharp tomorrow. If you don't show up..."<br /> <br /> Cynthia smirked coldly. "Then even better. Jessica can forget about marrying into the Richardson family. And I'll make sure to remind you that you'll be a cuckolds for the rest of your life!"<br /> <br /> With that, Cynthia turned and left, not bothering to give Nathan or Kelly a second glance.<br /> <br /> "Nathan, what if she refuses the surgery? What about Jessica?" Kelly, watching Cynthia's retreating figure, feigned urgency.<br /> <br /> Nathan's gaze was deep. "Don't worry. I'll find a way to make her agree."<br /> <br /> As Cynthia stepped out of the hotel, a sleek Rolls-Royce Phantom suddenly pulled up, blocking her path.<br /> <br /> The window rolled down, showing a woman in her forties, still exuding charm, a face often seen on financial news.<br /> <br /> "You're right on time, Mom." Recognizing the woman, Cynthia wasn't surprised at all, her voice and posture shifting to something more dignified.<br /> <br /> "Get in," Heather Brooks said calmly.<br /> <br /> With a deep breath, Cynthia got into the back seat. Throughout the ride, they hardly talked to each other.<br /> <br /> In Litharia, Jenkins Villa stood majestically in the most coveted scenic area, home to the affluent Jenkins family.<br /> <br /> "I've heard the story between you and Nathan. So, have you finally seen Nathan's true colors?"<br /> <br /> In the living room of Jenkins Villa, Heather sipped her coffee, looking at Cynthia indifferently. "It's time for you to come back and take over the family business."<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> Heather had five children, and aside from her only daughter, Cynthia, the other four sons kept their identities hidden, excelling in their fields but refusing to take over the family business.<br /> <br /> Left with no other option, Heather pinned her hopes on Cynthia.<br /> <br /> Cynthia breathed deeply, only then realizing that she had been under her mother's watchful eye for these past three years.<br /> <br /> It wasn't surprising, though. Since her father's death, the Jenkins family had been fragmented. Heather wasn't truly a Jenkins. Although she had been holding the reins, she was surrounded by those eyeing her position. Eventually, Heather had grown accustomed to keeping everything under her control, leaving no stone unturned.<br /> <br /> "It's not possible right now," Cynthia said somewhat helplessly.<br /> <br /> Heather's eyes narrowed as she spoke firmly. "What, you still have feelings for him?"<br /> <br /> "Of course not," Cynthia couldn't help but laugh dryly. "Mom, I just need some time to divorce him. I promise, after the divorce, I will definitely return to the Jenkins family."<br /> <br /> Cynthia mused, why did she ever waste three years pining for Nathan?<br /> <br /> Getting the response she wanted, Heather nodded in satisfaction. "That's more like a Jenkins girl. Also..."<br /> <br /> "What is it?" Seeing Heather hesitating to speak, Cynthia was curious.<br /> <br /> Heather spoke steadily. "The man you slept with at the hotel, do you recall who he is?"<br /> <br /> Cynthia's expression froze, and she remained silent.<br /> <br /> "I'm thinking about finding this man. If he's decent enough, we could welcome him into the family. The Jenkins can certainly afford to support one more. This would also solidify your position in the family."<br /> <br /> What Heather left unsaid was that if the man was not up to her standard, the consequences were obvious.<br /> <br /> Cynthia was at a loss for words. She didn't even know how to argue with that.<br /> <br /> Back in her room, Cynthia lay on the bed, overwhelmed. What happened today was more thrilling than her life during the past three years combined.<br /> <br /> She absently played with the cufflink in her hand, a lone clue left by the mysterious man from the previous night.<br /> <br /> Suddenly, Cynthia realized something and sat up abruptly. The cufflink was a limited edition, and her brother, the third sir of the Jenkins, Eric Jenkins, also a leading designer, might know its origin.<br /> <br /> Without hesitation, Cynthia called Eric.<br /> <br /> "Thia, you've finally taken your eyes off that idiot, huh? What's up?" Eric's voice was cheerful over the phone.<br /> <br /> Cynthia couldn't help but smile, "Starting today, Nathan and I have nothing to do with each other. We're getting divorced tomorrow."<br /> <br /> At that moment, in the midst of a major international jewelry show, Eric sat up straight. "What? What on earth happened to make the blind girl finally see the light?"<br /> <br /> Cynthia laughed. "Come on, stop kidding. Are you free right now? I could really use your help. Check your messages. I've sent you a picture. Can you figure out where this thing's from?"<br /> <br /> The next morning, outside the Courthouse, Nathan stood with a stern expression. He arrived on time and had been waiting for two hours without a glimpse of Cynthia.<br /> <br /> His calls went unanswered, and just as his patience was running thin, Cynthia finally arrived.<br /> <br /> She was dressed to the nines, radiant and elegant, a stark contrast to her former self. Nathan almost didn't recognize her at first sight.<br /> <br /> "What now? Getting cold feet about the divorce?" Seeing Cynthia slowly making her appearance, Nathan thought she regretted her decision not to divorce and had dressed up like this to win him back, feeling smug.<br /> <br /> "Getting cold feet? Why do I have to?" Cynthia touched her earring. She had intentionally made Nathan wait outside today.<br /> <br /> Cynthia was certain that Nathan wouldn't leave as long as his goal remained unmet, even if it meant waiting there all day.<br /> <br /> Nathan snorted, "As long as you're willing to help Jessica, we can still be friends."<br /> <br /> "What are you thinking? We're getting divorced and you still think we can be friends?" Cynthia scoffed dismissively. "You know what, Nathan? I've changed my mind. Why should I rely on a man who's after my organs? There are plenty of decent men out there, like that guy from the hotel. I'm quite satisfied with him."<br /> <br /> Even if Nathan had once saved her life, the help she had given him secretly over the past three years was more than enough to settle any debt.<br /> <br /> "Shameless!" Nathan didn't expect Cynthia to change her attitude so quickly, grinding his teeth in anger.<br /> <br /> Cynthia was unapologetic. "And what about you? Let's go. I can hardly wait."

He throws the keys by my feet and slams the door in my face.<br /> "Michael, please open up." <br /> "Why do you want a divorce?! Would you please tell me what's going on?!"<br /> He hands me an envelope, <br /> "I didn't cheat! I don't even know who that man is!!Why would I cheat on you?! I love you, I love our kids, and I love our family!! I wouldn't want to do anything to mess that up!!"<br /> He pulls out a pen and signs the paper, "We have to be separated for a year in order to get a divorce."<br /> ————————<br /> <br /> Kelly POV<br /> I am being woken by the door slams open, I sit up and see a furious Michael.<br /> "Get out of my house!!" I look at Michael with wide eyes, "W-What's wrong?" He grabs my arm and throws me over his shoulder, "Michael! Wait! Put me down! Why are you kicking me out?!" I hear the door open and hear some keys.<br /> "Don't come near me and the kids." He throws the keys by my feet and slams the door in my face.<br /> "Michael!! Open the door!!" Tears run down my face, "Michael, please open up." He opens the door and I look up at him, "Take your phone. Get off my porch and property." He closes the door and I dial the last person I talked to, "Kelly, why are you calling me in 2:00 in the morning?"<br /> "Liam, can you come and get me? Michael kicked me out of the house." He clears his throat, "I'm on my way now."<br /> I sit down and cry to myself. Ten minutes later, Liam pulls up. "What is going on?! Why did he kick you out?!" I run to him and he takes me to the car, "I don't know, he just came in mad and told me to get out."<br /> I start crying even harder as we head to his house, "What about the kids?" He asks as we pull up to his house, "They were sleep."<br /> "You can stay in the guest room as long as you need to." I nod my head, "Thank you." He shrugs his shoulders, "No problem, we can deal with the rest of this in the morning."<br /> Next Morning<br /> "Kelly!! Why did Michael kick you out?!" I wake up to Brandi screaming at me, "I don't know, he just kicked me out." I feel myself crying again, she runs to me and hugs me, "It's okay, we'll figure out what's going on."<br /> She wipes my tears away, "What about my babies? He told me to stay away and I don't know why. I'm scared, Brandi." She hugs me tighter and I sniffle, "Don't be scared, we're going to stop by his house today and see what's going on. So go freshen up. I brought you some clothes, they're in the bathroom on the counter."<br /> I nod my head and take a quick shower. We go downstairs and see Liam waiting by the door, "I'm coming along."<br /> We head back to my house and a man opens the door, "I'm Michael's lawyer, he has been waiting for you, Kelly." My eyes widen, I rush in, "Michael what's going on?! Why are you acting like this?!"<br /> He glares at me and hands me some papers. I roam through the papers and my heart drops, "Why do you want a divorce?! Would you please tell me what's going on?!"<br /> He hands me an envelope, "Who is that man, Kelly?! Why is his pecking all over you and why aren't you pushing him off?! That's not just it, there's a video of you two going into a hotel together!! Why would you do something like this?!"<br /> I look at the pictures and my eyes widen, "What?! No! I would never cheat on you, Michael I love you!!" He steps away from me and my breath gets caught in my throat, "I want you to get your things and get out of my house. The only time you will come around me, is if you want to see the kids or take them over to your place. We will keep our kids for three days each and then switch."<br /> Brandi steps up, "Michael, stop! What are you doing?! Would you at least let her explain herself?!" He glares at Brandi and I cry while looking at the pictures. "I would never do something like this. I don't even know who this man is." I whisper out, "Micheal, please don't do this to me. What about our kids?!"<br /> Liam crosses his arms, "You're being stupid, Michael. At least talk it out."<br /> He puts his hands in his pockets, "They're still going to have both of us in their lives, but we're just not going to be together anymore. Get your things and get out. While you're leaving, sign the paperwork to finalize our divorce."<br /> He walks past me and I run out of the house, "I don't want anything out of that house. Liam and Brandi, can we please just go." My whole world comes crashing down as I look at Michael, "I thought you loved me, Michael."<br /> <br /> Brianna Above<br /> Kelly POV<br /> "Are you sure you can do this alone? You sure you don't want me to come along?" I look at Liam as I put on my heels, "No, I think I can handle this." He shows me a worried smile and I sigh, "Why don't you try to talk to him again? He probably calmed down by now."<br /> I shake my head and a lump grows in my throat, "H-He won't listen to me. I've tried calling him multiple times, but it goes straight to voicemail." He wraps his arms around me and rubs my back, "You can cry, it's too early for you to be strong right now." I let my tears fall and he keeps me in his arms.<br /> "I'm sorry, I need you to come with me." He lets out a low chuckle, "Of course I'll come with you." He takes my hand in his and we head to the car.<br /> "Is it bad? I haven't looked at the news since he threw me out." He clears his throat, "The press is just as confused as you are. Nobody knows why Michael is ending it with you." I put my shades on and sigh.<br /> We make it to the law firm ten minutes later. Everything around me goes quiet as we get closer to the office. We walk in the office and see Michael and a woman talking to each other.<br /> The woman looks my way and shows me a small smile, "Hello, you're just on time." I look at Michael and he shows me a blank expression, "Let's finish this up, me and Brianna have a few other things to do." I look at him, "Can I at least explain myself?"<br /> He crosses his arms, "I don't care for an explanation! You cheated on me and that's the end of it!" I step towards him and he steps back, "I didn't cheat!! I don't even remember anything!! I don't even know who that man is!! Why would I cheat on you?! I love you, I love our kids, and I love our family!! I wouldn't want to do anything to mess that up!!"<br /> He pulls out a pen and signs the paper, "We have to be separated for a year in order to get a divorce."<br /> Everything shatters, my breathing grows heavy. I sign the paper and glare at him, "I can't believe you're really doing this." He holds his hand out, "I need the ring." My tears final falls after hearing that. I slowly take my ring off and put it on the desk, "I hate you."<br /> Michael POV<br /> I watch as she storms out, "You're really being an prick. Do you really think Kelly would do something like this?" I put my hands in my pocket as Liam walks out. I look out Brianna and she shows me a smile, "Lets go get us some coffee."<br /> She takes my hand in hers and lead me to her car. "Why are you so quiet?" I look at her and sigh, "The person I loved cheated on me. I'm not going to be smiling over something like this." She shows me a small smile, "I'll be here for you, if you need anything just let me know." I nod my head and she pats my leg. We pull up to a coffee shop and my phone starts ringing, "What is your problem?!"<br /> Ethan yells into the phone, "You're really separating from Kelly?! Did you even let her explain herself?!" I rub my face, "What can she explain? There's a picture and a video of her with some man."<br /> "So that automatically makes you not listen to her?! You're being a stupid and you're about to lose someone who loved you for you." He hangs up after that, "Who was that? They seemed really upset." I look at Brianna and put my hands in my pocket, "My best friend, he was talking about the divorce."<br /> We sit down by the window and I watch as people walk by, "Where are the kids?" I look from the window, "They're with my best friend right now, I'm going to pick them up once we finish here."<br /> "I want to try their muffins, do you want one?" I slowly shake my head, "Um, no. I'm sorry I have to go. I'm going to go pick up my kids." She arches her eyebrow as I get up, "I can drop you off, you did ride with me to the firm and to here." I shake my head, "I'm fine, it's not a long walk."<br /> I leave the shop and walk to the park, I sit down on the bench and pull out my phone. I dial Greg number, "How may I help you?" I look up at the sky, "Can you pick me up? I'm at the park near the law firm."<br /> "I'll be there as soon as possible." He hangs up after that and I wait. Ten minutes later I see Greg pull up. As I'm walking to the car I see a man around my age smiling at me. I stop walking and look at him, "Michael, what are you staring at?" I look at Greg, "Nothing, here I come."<br /> I look back and notice that the man is gone. I look around and see him nowhere. "What or who are you looking at?" I shake my head, "Nothing, lets go pick up the kids." He nods his head and drives off towards Ethan's house.<br /> We arrive at Ethan's house and the kids come running out. Michael, Zia, and Rain are now five and Aria, Grayson, and Isaiah are four.<br /> "Daddy!!" Zia shouts as I pick her up, "How's my little princesses and knights doing?!" I put her down, "We're doing good, Uncle Ethan made us chocolate waffles!"<br /> I look up and see Brandi walking towards me, "Where's Ethan?" She cross her arms, "He's over at Liam's, he's with Kelly." She helps me put the kids in their car seats, "If he comes back, tell him to call me." She puts her hair behind her ear and roll her lips in, "Ethan doesn't want to talk to you for a while. He's really pissed off with you."<br /> I roll my eyes, "Is everybody going to go against me? You know what, don't even answer that. I'm leaving." I get in the car and Greg looks at me, "Greg!! Can we have dinosaur nuggets and fries?!" Michael asks as we drive out of the driveway. Greg looks in his rear view mirror and smile, "Yes we can. Don't forget you have to choose a vegetable."<br /> Isaiah raises his hands, "Green beans!!" Greg nods his head, "Green beans it is." We head home and I stare out the window the entire time. "Michael. Michael. Michael!!"<br /> I look at Greg with wide eyes, "What? What happened?" He lets out a low sigh, "We're home." I get out and take the kids out of the car. They run in and I follow behind them.<br /> Blaze runs up to me and bark. I pet his head and go up to my office.<br /> Kelly POV<br /> "We need to find out who that man was." I look up from my ice cream, "What's the point, Ethan? He's not going to believe anything I say." He looks at me as if I was crazy, "Why aren't you trying to do anything? Don't you love him?"<br /> I drop my spoon, "Of course I love him, but I can't remember anything!! By the time I do remember, he'll be over me and probably dating some other woman! What am I supposed to do?!" He comes up to me and hugs me, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to say it like that. We'll figure something out." I nod my head and suck in a shaky breath.<br /> "When do you get the kids?" I wipe my face, "I get them Friday, Liam said it's okay if I stay here for as long as I need to. I'm looking for a house now, I don't want to be a bother to him." He sits down beside me, "You're not a bother to him, so don't worry about that."<br /> Liam walks in and smile at us, "Are y'all talking about me? I feel special."<br /> "No, we're not." Me and Ethan say at the same time. Liam mouth drops, "I don't even care anymore. I hope you both choke on your spit." We both start laughing and he rolls his eyes.<br /> Fred POV<br /> "Looks like everybody is here. I have some bad news to tell you. Maya escaped from prison along with another inmate." Ryan stands up, "What?! How is that possible?!" I shrug my shoulders and sigh, "All we know is that there are three people including Maya. The inmate she escaped with and a friend of hers who would send her things while she was in prison."<br /> Steven stands up, "Do you have any leads on where she's at?" Martin shakes his head, "Sadly we don't, that's the only thing we have on her. The guy that's with her is a very intelligent hacker. He deleted the files of the inmate that escaped with Maya. None of the hackers we have can figure out who the person is."<br /> "So, what do we do now?" I look at Eric and sigh, "Knowing the women are not going to just sit down when they hear all of this, you all will be going around the country to find a trace of them. Your kids will be in mine and Martin's care."<br /> Ryan scratches his head, "So, who's telling the girls about this?" I let out a low chuckle, "That's your job, our job was to just tell you guys." Their mouths drops and Martin laughs, "Call us when you tell them, we can finish up with this once everything has gone around."<br /> We walk out of the house, "What are we going to do once we find her?" I look at Martin and sigh, "It depends on what she does once we find her. We either take her back or I get my boys to do whatever they want with her. Me and you both know that they're not going to go easy on her."

Josh and I are going to have a baby.<br /> But I didn't get a chance to tell him the news. He's gone.<br /> He's gone, and left me with our baby growing in my stomach.<br /> He left me.<br /> <br /> Four years later, on my friend’s wedding.<br /> "Who is the last groomsmen?" Rebecca asked clearly not seeing the look on my face.<br /> "Josh," Elena said the one name that made my world come crashing down.<br /> This is going to be a wonderful wedding.<br /> ___________<br /> It has officially been four years since Josh left me and all his friends and family here in San Diego. A lot has changed. My beautiful daughters, Brynlee Reese and Keegan Ryder, are now three years old. My dad died from brain cancer last year after battling long enough to see his granddaughters turn two. He loved them more than anything. It's been hard for us, especially my mom, but we're getting by. I graduated from the University of San Diego last year with a teaching degree in English, and am going on my second year of teaching at my old high school, Fremont High School. Jordyn, my 17 year old sister, is a junior there.<br /> Ever since my pregnancy, I've had help from my family, Josh's family, and our friends. I couldn't really hide Josh's daughters from his parents since the girls are their granddaughters, and they promised not to tell him. Let's just say that they weren't too pleased with how Josh left. I've tried to tell Josh about Brynlee and Keegan, but he doesn't answer any of my calls or I chickened out. Cory and Tyler have offered to tell him since he actually keeps in contact with them, along with his family, but I want him to hear it from me. Now, I think it's a little too late to tell him especially since he's happy on his own. He's off playing professional baseball for the New York Yankees while dating multiple girls, according to the gossip sites.<br /> Josh's sister, Delaney, got married last year at a destination wedding that only included close family members. I was invited since the girls are her nieces, but I declined the invitation knowing I would have to see him. She is now a pediatrician while her husband, Landon Gray, took over his father's oil company. My best friend, Elena Pratt, just graduated from nursing school and started her new job at the local hospital. She is also currently engaged to Tyler Stephens, Josh and I's best friend. They've been dating since our junior year of high school. Tyler works alongside Landon as the financial manager. Cory Sutton, Josh and I's other best friend, is now a gym teacher and baseball coach at Fremont High School. He was suppose to become a professional baseball player like Josh, but he suffered a serious shoulder injury which ended his playing days. Teaching was always his backup.<br /> The continuous jumping on my bed followed by loud giggles disturbed my sleep. My eyes fluttered open to see two toddlers wide awake.<br /> "Mommy!" Keegan screamed as she jumped onto me with the intention of a hug. Her knotted brown hair fell to the sides of her face as her big brown eyes gleamed with excitement. Brynlee continued jumping as her blonde hair bounced with her.<br /> "Good morning to you girlies too," I responded hugging Keegan as Brynlee cuddled to my side. "What do you girls want for breakfast?"<br /> "WAFFLES!" They both squealed jumping from the bed as they ran out of my bedroom. I then got up from the comfort of my bed sheets and put my fuzzy gray robe on over my pajamas that consisted of shorts and an old t-shirt. When I reached the kitchen, the girls were there digging the Eggo waffles out of the freezer.<br /> "Can you put the box on the counter for me?" I asked as I pulled out the toaster from one of the many cabinets. Keegan did as I told her and then ran to the living room with Brynlee following behind. She then turned on the TV to their favorite show, Doc McStuffins. I put three waffles into the toaster and waited for them to pop back out when they were done.<br /> Looking over at the girls brought back memories. I was absolutely shocked when I found out I was having twins.<br /> I laid down waiting for the doctor to enter while my mom sat in the nearby chair. I anxiously played with my long painted nails looking down at my small bump. Soon enough the doctor came into the room.<br /> "Hello, I'm Dr. Valente. You must be Sabrina and her mom," she greeted shaking my mom's hand then moving over to me. "Are we ready to see the little one?"<br /> I nodded my head as she instructed what to do before putting the gel on my stomach. She had the screen pointed towards her allowing me to only see the shocked expression on her face.<br /> "What's wrong?" I asked suddenly worried.<br /> "Nothing's wrong, but it looks like you're having twins." The minute the words came out of her mouth, my jaw dropped to the floor.<br /> I'm having two babies.<br /> The sudden sound of waffles popping out of the toaster brought me back to reality. I began to fix me and the girls a plate before calling them over to the dining table. As they scooped pieces of the waffle into their mouth, I got a text from Elena.<br /> Are you on your way??<br /> Yes but we might be a little late.<br /> I completely lost track of time and now we're going to be late for Elena's meeting with her wedding planner. Since I'm the maid of honor, she wants me there too.<br /> It's currently 10:25, and we have to be at her house at 10:30 which is a 7 minute drive. Great.<br /> "Girls, go brush your teeth and then come to your bedroom," I instructed grabbing the empty plates from the table and rinsing them off in the sink. They sprinted off to the bathroom while I went to pick out their outfits for today.<br /> I pulled two matching floral dresses from their closet as they came running in. I then grabbed their white converses and helped them get dressed.<br /> Once finished they ran to the living room where Doc McStuffins was still playing on the TV. While they were occupied, I ran over to my room to get myself dressed. I put on a simple black and white striped button up that was halfway tucked into light denim shorts. I then slipped on sandals before pulling my blonde hair into a high ponytail.<br /> After brushing my teeth and putting on my makeup, I got the girls out the apartment door and we headed to the car. I buckled them into their car seats and started the car. When Will My Life Begin from Tangled played non stop the whole car ride.<br /> We soon arrived to Elena and Tyler's house. Once Keegan was free from the buckles, she sprinted from where the car was parked on the driveway into Tyler's arms. As soon as he saw the car pull in, he slammed the door open ready to see his nieces. Brynlee, on the other hand, was fast asleep in her car seat. She stirred slightly when I picked her up, and then laid her head on my shoulder.<br /> "Is someone sleepy?" I asked in the voice you make when talking to a child. She then nodded with her eyes still closed making me chuckle.<br /> I entered into the house to see Elena and another woman sitting at the kitchen counter. They didn't notice me at first until Bryn let out a little yawn.<br /> "Hey Sab, this is Rebecca, my wedding planner. Rebecca, this is my best friend and maid of honor, Sabrina," Elena introduced. I smiled at the red-headed woman in front of me. Rebecca had to be in her mid-forties, but she was in incredible shape.<br /> "It's nice to meet," I greeted shaking her hand. "I need to lay this little one down somewhere so I'll be right back."<br /> I walked out of the kitchen and into the living room were Keegan and Tyler were both watching Peppa Pig. I set Bryn on the couch and she immediately cuddled into Tyler's side.<br /> "How's the little princess?" Ty asked cuddling her.<br /> "Sleepy," I answered. "Well I need to go back to your fianc茅e so make sure they don't injure themselves."<br /> "Are you still holding that against me?"<br /> "You dropped my daughter."<br /> "So what do we have so far?" I asked coming back into the kitchen after a small argument with Tyler. I won!<br /> "The color scheme is going to be burgundy and gold. We've also set the date for November 6 which is a Saturday," Elena answered as I sat in the chair next to her.<br /> "Now we'll discuss who's in the wedding and the smaller details like decorations," Rebecca directed. "So who all is in the wedding?"<br /> "Well we have both of our parents. Sabrina is my maid of honor. Tyler's best friend, Cory, is his best man. Our flower girls are Keegan and Brynlee, Sabrina's daughters. The ring bearer is Tyler's cousin, Nathan."<br /> "Okay, what about bridesmaids and groomsmen?"<br /> "For bridesmaids, I have Delaney, Angela, Kelly, Haley, and Jordyn," she listed. Delaney is Josh's sister which we are both really close to. Angela and Kelly are two soon-to-be nurses that Elena met at med school. Haley is her 14 year old sister while Jordyn is my sister.<br /> "For the groomsmen, there is Landon, Calum, Griffin, Scott, and..." her voice faded as she looked over at me with a worried look as I just gave her a confused look back. Landon is Delaney's husband and Tyler's boss/ friend. Calum is a buddy from college. Griffin is Tyler's 17 year old brother, and Scott is his 12 year old brother.<br /> Who else is there... wait.<br /> I immediately changed my confused expression to one of horror.<br /> "Who is the last groomsmen?" Rebecca asked clearly not seeing the look on my face.<br /> "Josh," Elena said the one name that made my world come crashing down.<br /> This is going to be a wonderful wedding.<br /> Josh's POV<br /> I was sitting on my tan couch looking at the muted TV in front of me as I waited for Tyler to answer his phone. Luckily, he answered on the third ring.<br /> "Hey man, shouldn't you being doing something baseball related?" He asked.<br /> "Hey," I greeted. "Today is my day off."<br /> "Ah, so why are you calling me at 8 in the morning on your day off? You should be sleeping in."<br /> "I guess I'm just use to waking up early," I lied knowing that I didn't even sleep last night. I mean how could I? This penthouse is quite lonely when you're actually in it. I'm barely ever here due to playing. When I am here I tend to think, and thinking leads to no sleep.<br /> Most of the time, I am out like a light when I hit my bed since training wore me out, but I wasn't necessarily tired.<br /> "We both know that's a lie. You didn't sleep last night did you?"<br /> He knows me too well.<br /> "Maybe."<br /> "Is it about Sabrina?" He asked already knowing the answer to that question. It's always about her. She's in my mind all the time. I like to use playing and partying as a way to forget about her, but it never works. I even try to get with other girls, but back out when it comes to taking them home. They're just not her.<br /> "Can we not talk about it?" I asked ready to change the subject. "What are you doing right now?"<br /> "It's 8 o'clock on a Monday morning. What do you think I'm doing?"<br /> "Sorry. Did I interrupt anything at work?" I cringe knowing I didn't even think about him possibly being busy.<br /> "Nah, I just got here," he said knowing I would feel guilty for interrupting something.<br /> "You're a jerk."<br /> "I know. Now why are you calling me?"<br /> "Can't I just say hi to my friend?"<br /> "Not when we literally talked last night about the wedding," he reminded. Last night, after the meeting with the wedding planner, he gave me the details of the date so I could work it out with my schedule. That also reminds me that I need to talk to Coach.<br /> "Fine," I gave in. "I just want to know how she is."<br /> "Sabrina is fine. Today is actually the first day of school."<br /> "Was she nervous?"<br /> "Why don't you ask her yourself?" These past few years, I've constantly asked Cory and Tyler how Sab was doing. They would get annoyed every once in a while, and they were pretty mad at me when I first left. I completely understand though. What I did was a bad move, but there's no way to take it back.<br /> "Because if I call her and hear her voice, I know I'm going to automatically get a plane ticket to San Diego."<br /> "You're going to have to see her at the wedding though."<br /> "I know."<br /> "Cory, if you don't hurry up, I'm leaving your hip here," I heard her growl out.<br /> Sabrina.<br /> The sound of her voice just hit me. It hasn't changed one bit, and man do I miss it.<br /> "Well I got to go. See you soon," he ended the call leaving me to think about her.<br /> I have exactly 2 weeks until I see her again, and I'm not sure if I'm completely ready.<br /> <br /> Sabrina's POV<br /> Now it's time for lunch, and I'm craving some Panera. Cory and I both have a lunch break now since we don't have classes during lunch period. I'm currently making my way toward the gym to meet with him so we can drive over to Panera Bread.<br /> "Cory, if you don't hurry up, I'm leaving your hip here," I practically yelled out after barging into his office.<br /> "Well I got to go. See you soon," Cory said into his phone making me realize that he was taking to someone.<br /> "Was that an important phone call?"<br /> "No, it was just Josh," he spoke.<br /> "What'd he want?" I said with a disgusted tone as we walked toward his car.<br /> "Just talking about the wedding."<br /> When we finally got to Panera, I jumped out of the car wanting nothing more than a good sandwich. With Cory following behind, I entered and stood in line ready to order.<br /> "Did he say when he was coming back? I need to prepare myself." I said worried of what would happen when he sees the girls or when I finally see him in person for the first time in four years.<br /> What if I blurt out that he's a father? What if he figures it out on his own?<br /> "He's coming September 10," Cory replied with a concerned face as I gave him one of horror.<br /> "That's not enough time."<br /> "Enough time for what?"<br /> "For me to change my name and leave the country."<br /> "Sabrina," he gave me a stern look. "I think it's time to tell him about Keegan and Brynlee. He deserves to know."<br /> "I know, and I'll try," I said. "If I don't tell him by the time he leaves then you have my permission to tell him yourself."<br /> <br /> Josh's POV<br /> I walked out of the gym with my shirt hanging over my shoulder, my water bottle in one hand, and my phone in the other. Before I made it to my car, a blonde girl stood in front of my door.<br /> "Hello, hot stuff," she greeted with a smirk and a wink.<br /> "Hi?" I questioned wondering who this woman is.<br /> "I'm Tiffany, and I was just about to go to the gym when I saw you," she explained.<br /> "You were about to go to the gym in jeans?" I asked taking in her outfit. Does she think I'm stupid?<br /> "Yeah-," she was cut off by the sound of my phone ringing. I looked down to see it was Cory calling.<br /> "I have to take this," I stated as she moved away from the door allowing me to get in my car. I immediately answered the phone while also starting the car.<br /> "Hey man, what's up?" I greeted as I pulled out of the parking lot leaving the girl standing there.<br /> "Nothing much. I actually need your help coming up with ideas for Tyler's bachelor party."<br /> "Well Tyler is a kid at heart, so I would definitely do something fun like a trampoline park or an amusement park," I responded as I heard loud squeals in the background. It's sounds like an actual child.<br /> "Hold on," he told me. "Keegan get down from the counter you're going to fall."<br /> Who's Keegan?<br /> "Okay, I'm back," he stated after a long pause filled with giggles. "A trampoline park sounds great."<br /> "Yeah," I agreed still confused. "Who's Keegan?"<br /> "Oh-," he was cut off by the sound of cries. "Brynlee, what did your mother say about running down the stairs? Hey man, I have to go. Talk to you later."<br /> Before I could respond back, he hung up.<br /> Who is Keegan? Who is Brynlee? Whose kids are they? Did Cory have kids without telling me?

I command Adam using all my Luna force.<br /> "I, Alpha Adam Hawkins, Alpha of the Red Blood Pack, I reject you, Lexie Banks, as my mate!" and giving her a serious look he commands her "Accept my rejection!"<br /> Actually, I was reborn. In the last life, I've been Luna since I married Adam and even if we were not fated mates I've done my job in the interest of this pack outstandingly. But finally, Lexie tortured me, Adam killed me.<br /> This time is only about me and about surviving, so screw you Lexie Banks, Adam Hawkins and Red Blood Pack! I had enough of you! I will make everyone pay!<br /> ————————<br /> Natalie<br /> "Natalie!!!! Natalie, please wake up!"<br /> Who is calling me? I know that voice...<br /> "Please, Nat, open your eyes! Open you eyes woman, and help me exist this tornado or dark hole or whatever it is because I am going to vomit!"<br /> Kelly? Kelly is calling me? But it can't be.<br /> I just…! Adam killed me...why can I still hear Kelly?<br /> "Open your eyes now!" Kelly growled at me and as if her command was mandatory I found myself opening my eyes just to become perplexed.<br /> Where am I?<br /> "It's a dark hole, I am telling you. We are in another dimension!" Kelly said and I can feel her emotions. She is confused and scared for having no idea what is going on.<br /> Maybe I am in heaven, but heaven can't be so cold and lonely. If this is heaven I am in big trouble. I lived my life doing good things for nothing.<br /> "Can you walk?" Kelly asks. "Can you see if there is a secret door that we should open and escape from here?"<br /> Escape from here? Is she kidding me?<br /> This is a void. I have no idea where it starts and where it ends.<br /> I've heard stories about heaven and inferno.<br /> Green forest with white wolves running in freedom or deserts that makes Sahara look like a little child, where the werewolves, most of them rogues and criminals are being fired under the heat until they look more like hyenas than a wolf.<br /> Adam killed me. I know he did and I was expecting to meet my heaven and find my reward the moment I closed my eyes, so what is this?<br /> "Is anyone here?" I yelled but the sound came back to me like an echo. " here...<br /> here…..here"<br /> "Great! " I whisper and turn around,trying to figure out if this is real or I am having some kind of hallucination.<br /> "Pinch yourself!" Kelly commanded me.<br /> "I am dead, it doesn't matter, Kelly" I say and this situation started to piss me off.<br /> "Just do it!" she says again and I am doing just as she said because otherwise she won't stop from asking that from me.<br /> "See?" I say pinching my arm. "I feel nothing!"<br /> "We are really dead!" she whispered in disbelief.<br /> "Yeah, surprise, our mate killed us for good. Now that we clarified that, can you shut up and let me think?" I ask her and she takes a step back, leaving me alone.<br /> "I don't like it here" she whispered andI just stopped there.<br /> "Then shut up, just for a second, let me think, Kelly"<br /> I stretched my arm and I tried to touch what seemed to be a wall but as soon as I touched it I entered a new space and was surprised. It is another void space. I repeat this again and again until I become tired and right when I thought that I am going crazy a big light appeared out of nowhere and that horrible void that tormented me became lighter and lighter until everything around me became clear.<br /> I am in heaven! I made it!<br /> Everything is splendid and the waters are clear like crystal and the mountains look so perfectly beautiful and those forests I read about it are so green. And here every single wolf is white.<br /> "Do you like it?" suddenly a woman's voice asks me from behind, making me startle. I thought that I am alone here.<br /> I looked at her and my heart stopped. It can't be, but she looks just the way I've heard. Tall, slim, with white blonde hair long until her waist, braided and decorated with little shining stars. Her skin is so white and pure that you could say that she doesn't have even a drop of blood in her system, and maybe she doesn't. Maybe she is dead too...<br /> "Stop blabbering in your own head ,Natalie," the woman told me and motioned to me to come closer and I just followed her command without blinking.<br /> "You are the Moon Goddess" I say in awareness. I am staying in front of the Moon Goddess, this is how dead I am.<br /> "I am" she says and stops and watches the scenery.<br /> "Is this heaven?" I ask her and she turns her head and asks me.<br /> "Do you like this place?" but her eyes make me confused. They are like two shining turquoise gems and at this moment they are making me look in another direction, because her gaze on me is too powerful.<br /> "I love this place, but why am I here?"I ask her.<br /> "Isn't it clear?" and she looks again at her white wolves that salute us every time they run close to us. "You are dead".<br /> "I know that, can I stay here?" I asked her, or better said, begged her but the goddess didn't answer.<br /> "It is so nice here, goddess," I whisper,inhaling the pure air and feeling calm for the first time since the madness with Lexie and Adam started. Her presence makes me feel safe.<br /> "I want to make a den for myself and live here if you will allow me."<br /> And I just sit there and wait for her to tell me that she was just waiting for me but instead the goddess is mute.<br /> "Don't tell that she will send us to inferno?"<br /> Kelly says panicked.<br /> "Moon Goddess?" I call her a little bit taken aback. "Can I stay here?"<br /> Is she says no...<br /> "No you can't!" she simply says and looks at me.<br /> "But I only did good deeds while living on earth!" and I feel that I will die again right now. "Don't send me to inferno!" I almost cry.<br /> "Inferno? Who said anything about inferno,Natalie?" the Moon Goddess asked me.<br /> "BUt..." What is she talking about?<br /> "Look, Natalie" the Moon Goddess told me and looked into my eyes. "You are so perfectly fitting to this place. Heaven was made for people like you but if I allow you to come here, at this moment,everything I worked for in all these thousands of years will be in vain.<br /> What? Heaven is not with limited seats!<br /> "I don't understand" I simply say,because I really don't get the goddess 's point.<br /> "I am sending you back, Natalie" she says and I start to laugh, because she must be mocking me. Is this some kind of test?<br /> "Back where?" I ask her as soon as I can breathe again after I stop laughing.<br /> "Back to Earth, silly," she says with a calm voice. "I am not doing this easily but I need you there. I need you in that pack, because your presence there will have a significant impact on the pack.<br /> Back to the Red Blood Pack?<br /> "No way!" I growled at the goddess making her frown.<br /> "I am not going back there. I have nothing there, just betrayal and pain in my heart. I don't want to go back!"I say . No, I am shouting in the goddess's face, I am not just talking. I am shouting my heart out.<br /> "You better send me to inferno than to send me back to my former life"<br /> "Do you think that I'm doing this every day, Natalie? With every wolf that dies? I am making an exception here and I am giving you a chance for reincarnation, a chance to build your life again."<br /> "No!" I growl back but the goddess face becomes pissed off and snapping from her fingers says.<br /> "Well in this case you don't give me any option" and the moment she said that two strong arms pulled me from behind and threw me through a darkened tunnel. Everything was spinning around me.<br /> "Help me!" I scream "Take me out of here!" and I would like to add and send me anywhere but not to the Red Blood Pack, but before I could say that I found myself in the middle of my bed, in my and Adam's room.<br /> Goddess…..she send me back.I pinch myself and it hurts. I look again around me and it is my room but it looks decorated like almost three years ago, when me and Adam just got married.<br /> "Please, send me back to heaven"I whispered in my mind, closing my eyes but no one answered, except the door that hit the wall. And now I died again.<br /> Is this why she sent me back? To make me relive the most horrible episode of my life?<br /> "Get out of the bed, Natalie!" Adam tells me as he is caring for a woman that looks wounded in his arms, which nowI know is Lexie, his fated mate. But you see? First time he did this my heart hurted like and I just kept my mouth closed but now I am not able to react the same way, so I wrap my arms around my chest, I lean on my pillow and I ask him.<br /> "What are you doing, Adam. Take her out of my bedroom! Are you out of your mind to bring this woman in our bed?"<br /> "I can't" he tells me, and of course I know he can't do it, because he is a cowardly weak man.<br /> "She is my fated mate, Natalie. I found her."<br /> "So what?" I ask him. He marked me and it doesn't matter anymore if she is his mate or not. I am his Luna and he swore that if at some point he will find her he will reject her.<br /> "What do you do with that?" He asks while still holding her and I can see the bimbo grabbing his shirt and wiping her tears. Everything is just bad theater and now I am able to see it.<br /> "Throw her away!" I tell him without even breathing. I didn't get forced to reincarnate just to make the same mistakes and be submitted and weak in front of Adam. The bimbo must stay out of my life. I know now what she is looking for.<br /> "Are you nuts, Natalie? I can't do that to her!" and holding her tight Adam says.<br /> "I want to offer her a place in our pack. This way she will be protected." but I am not letting him escape with that sol say out loud.<br /> "She is a rogue and an omega. She will not put her feet on our pack!"<br /> And with that I get out of the bed and pointing my finger in his direction, I say just before I exit our bedroom.<br /> "Get rid of her!"<br /> -<br /> And as soon as I said that Adam's face rolled on the floor.<br /> "What did you say?" he asked with a perplexed voice, as if he couldn't believe his ear that I just said that.<br /> Suck it sucker!<br /> I didn't come back, or better said, I was forced to come back to this horrible world just to be killed again. If the goddess forced me to be here, I need to stay alive and to do that I need to keep that bimbo as far away from me as possible.<br /> "You can't be serious, Natalie!" he says trying to refrain himself from showing me how pissed off he is about my reaction.<br /> "But I am, Adam. I am your Luna and here is my statement." and squinting my eyes at him I am pointing with my index finger in Lexie's direction.<br /> "If she stays here, I am out and you will need to explain a lot of things to our pack and to your family about that! It's me or her." I say as if it is nothing and turn my back to him ignoring Lexie's presence and making her boil for sure.<br /> "Babe, look" Adam whispers and I feel his arms wrapped around my waist, but it's like a burning. After everythingI remember that he was able to do for Lexie, after he dared to believe her and not me, after he killed me for nothing...!<br /> hate him. I just hate him.<br /> Maybe this is why I feel angry for being forced to come back here. In the same position. I would have preferred to be reborn as an omega in a poor pack or as a rogue instead of being dragged in the middle of this marsh.<br /> "You wouldn't" Kelly says. "I know you,girl. You would have long for a revenge.<br /> You are here, strong and knowing things that they don't know about at this moment. You are at an advantage so act according to your purpose." Kelly almost commands me.<br /> "I have a purpose here?" I asked myself,being a little bit taken aback by Kelly's words, to the point that I didn't even realize when Adam pecked my neck,right on his mark. But what to see?<br /> Pecking his mark is not making me fall for him, but annoys me more.<br /> "Leave me alone, Adam!" and I push him away from me.<br /> "You can't bring this woman here!" I say and Lexie starts to cry as if I just pushed a button and a soap operas or namby-pamby show started instantly.<br /> "And after you come here with ehr to think that I will just smile and say, oh babe, I am so happy, please let her stay!<br /> I am to the moon and back with happiness because you found your fated mate!"<br /> "Are you insecure, Natalie?" Adam asks and looks at me with a stupid grin on his face but he makes me turn around completely and pointing to my face I ask seriously.<br /> "Do I look insecure, dear husband?"<br /> "Look, I just want to know that she is safe. If this is about your Luna position I promise you"<br /> And here he starts.<br /> "I promise you that nothing will change.<br /> You are my Luna, Natalie. The woman I love and that will never change" and he looks at me with a complex gaze, I already saw this in the past, and I am so angry that out of love for him I believed him.<br /> He comes close to me and I look at him as he is taking my hands between his palms and pecking the tip of my fingers as he watches me.<br /> "Please babe," he whispers, "I promise that nothing will change. I love you and only you. It doesn't matter that she is my fated mate. I chose you. I will always do it again and again." and he gives me a smile, but that smile only makes me want to punch him.<br /> "Do you really love me?" I ask him, andI can see with the corner of my eyes how Lexie's face becomes happy thinking that in the end I will allow her to stay in the Red Blood Pack.<br /> "With everything I have" he tells me and leans in my direction to peck me, but before he could do it I push him and say.<br /> "They reject her and terminate the fated mate bond. I want her OUT now. I command you to reject her!"<br /> And I am so furious that he becomes pale.<br /> You don't like what you see, Adam? Well this is your work. You killed my spirit , now enjoy it! I know that he is shocked that he is not used to me resisting him. Every time I was submitting to him but that is over now.<br /> "Babe, don't be like that!" he whispers.<br /> "Unbelievable!" I say and in the next second I command him using all my Luna force.<br /> "Reject her now!" and he is pale. If he is refusing me he knows what that means.<br /> That no one will ever believe him that he doesn't have anything with his mate.<br /> I know how this works. I've heard about this. He must feel the attraction for Lexie even if he marked me. The bond mate is there. But also he knows that this omega is not a Luna material.I am more than he could have dreamed to receive in this life. I am strong, smart and from a good family. And his fated mate is an omega? He will be in deep trouble if I make a scandal about this.<br /> He watches me with sad eyes and he knows that here is no way back.<br /> We've been together for twenty two years. Since I was two I have my first memory with him. Best friend and then best lovers, loving each other to the point he promised he will never care about his fated mate.<br /> Just as I said. He knows my value in front of the eyes of all werewolves, so even if he is not easy about this he turns around and looks at Lexie he says.<br /> "I am sorry. I didn't want to be like this,but my mate is right. I need to reject you." and Lexis's face just fell on the floor.<br /> "PLease, don't do it!" she says, looking at him in horror. Well this will be interesting to watch. Is he really going to do it?<br /> "I, Alpha Adam Hawkins, Alpha of the Red Blood Pack, I reject you, Lexie Banks, as my mate!" and giving her a serious look he commands her "Accept my rejection!"<br /> And when he said that a lot of faces turned in our direction, we were already in the middle of the packhouse's living room, where a lot of werewolves are talking and watching something on TV.<br /> They couldn't hear what we were talking about for sure, but when Adam commanded Lexie to accept the rejection she collapsed to the ground with a loud noise.<br /> As soon she collapsed Adam flinched but he didn't dare to help her in my presence.<br /> "PLease!" she begged Adam, crying her heart out. "PLease don't force me to accept the rejection. I am already weak and I can barely survive in this world. If you would have not found me I would have been dead until now, this is how weak I am. PLease, don't force me. I will die!" and she looked in Adam's eyes and pleaded for mercy.<br /> "Don't you dare!" I commanded using our mindlink and I wrapped my arms under my chest.<br /> Now I am curious how this show will end.<br /> But what to see? The bimbo has a lot of guts and before I could react she grabbed my leg and knowing way too well that people were watching she started to cry even harder.<br /> "Please Luna! Please, don't ban me! If you will force me to leave I will die as soon as I step outside of the borders of this pack! PLease Luna Hawkins!"<br /> And now I am outraged.<br /> "Take your hands off me!" I said and pushed her with disgust and took a step back.<br /> "Don't you ever touch me again!" and she started to cry so hard, that now everyone in this pack must know that their Luna is a heartless woman.<br /> "What had this poor Omega done wrong?" someone asked.<br /> "I didn't know that Luna is so cruel!"<br /> another one whispered.<br /> Well, I didn't know either that my own pack would judge me and kill me, and seeing their biased gazes I remember one more time why I am here.<br /> If they only knew Lexie's real plan!<br /> They wouldn't judge so hard right now.<br /> But you know what? I don't care.<br /> This time is only about me and about surviving, so screw you Lexie Banks,Adam Hawkins and Red Blood Pack! I had enough of you!<br /> "Natalie!" Adam calls me, but I just walk away and push everyone in my way.<br /> I didn't even have time to adapt to this new life that the danger is already above my head.<br /> "Babe!" Adam says coming after me, but I motion to him to stop.<br /> "Just stay there, Adam!" I tell him. "I am sick of you!"<br /> And his eyes became angry hearing me.<br /> "I need to be alone!" and saying that I ran to the forest.<br /> I need to clear my mind!<br /> -<br /> "Natalie!" Adam called me and I could hear him running after me. Just trie to stop me, you jerk! Just try it.<br /> I ran outside the packhouse and in one jump in the air I let Kelly take control.<br /> This is our first shift after I came back from death's arms. I need this like air. I need to calm down or I am going to kill every single person that hurt me in my past, and by past I mean my former life.<br /> "Natalie! Stop it right now!" he shouts but I don't care.<br /> "Take us to our place, girl!" I tell Kelly and she runs directly into the forest,jumping from cliffs and giving me the ride of her life until Adam's voice can't be heard anymore.<br /> I can see her white paws hitting the ground in her attempt to exhaust herself to the point where every single cell of our system will be so tired that we will just rest and close our eyes, and stay there in peace.<br /> I can see her reflection in the water while she stops for a second to lick some water from the river and she is so beautiful that I want to cry. She is the best gift I received from the gods. The best wolf ever.<br /> Calm and good hearted. Strong and powerful at the same time and so beautiful. I suppose that her appearance was what made Adam claim me. Kelly is as big as his wolf and he is an Alpha by birth while I was born as a beta. Completely white and with clear sky blue eyes she is perfect. She doesn't deserve what Adam put us though.<br /> She deserves to be happy. We should have stayed in heaven, because let me tell you. This is the inferno. Coming here,coming back is pure inferno!<br /> I have no idea how long we run but now seeing her reflection, seeing the moonlight over Kelly put me in front of a decision. I will make everyone pay!

Her delicate skin was mostly hidden under a sheer blanket, with only her arms peeking out, bearing the faint red traces of a night filled with passion.<br /> <br /> Cynthia Jenkins stirred, letting out a soft moan as she woke from her deep sleep. She tried to get up, but her body, still weary and sore, sank back onto the bed.<br /> <br /> Memories from the night before came rushing back, bringing a faint smile to her face. For the first time in their three-year marriage, she and her husband, Nathan Richardson, had made love.<br /> <br /> She noticed Nathan wasn't in the room, and a tinge of disappointment flickered across her face, quickly replaced by composure.<br /> <br /> At the beginning of their marriage, Nathan had been distant, rarely showing any affection. Cynthia couldn't help but wonder if last night marked a turning point, a sign that he had finally accepted her.<br /> <br /> With a flicker of hope, Cynthia rose cheerfully from the bed. The moment her bare feet touched the cold floor, she felt a sudden chill.<br /> <br /> Picking up a blue sapphire cufflink, oddly shaped and shimmering, from the floor, Cynthia widened her eyes in surprise. 'Could this be Nathan's?'<br /> <br /> Thinking of this, Cynthia smiled and placed the cufflink in her bag. Then, she went to freshen up herself before returning home.<br /> <br /> Cynthia had barely stepped out of the door when she ran into an unexpected visitor.<br /> <br /> "Cynthia?" The woman in front of her, dressed in a crisp white dress and possessing a sharp, piercing voice, was Kelly Dixon, the second lady of the Dixon family.<br /> <br /> Cynthia had always been at odds with the Dixon sisters. Jessica Dixon, the eldest lady of the family, was Nathan's first love. But today, Cynthia was in a good mood. "Kelly, what a surprise to see you here."<br /> <br /> "Indeed." Kelly sized up Cynthia with a mocking smile. "If I had arrived a bit earlier or later, I might have missed catching you in the act."<br /> <br /> She pointed at the red marks on Cynthia's arms with disdain. "What is this? You shameless woman! How dare you fooling around with other men behind Nathan's back!"<br /> <br /> Cynthia frowned, "What are you talking about?"<br /> <br /> "Cynthia, I've always known you're shameless, clinging to Nathan. But I never pegged you as someone who'd stoop this low." Kelly's eyes sparkled with the thrill of uncovering a juicy piece of gossip. "Are you really going to say these marks are from a night with Nathan?"<br /> <br /> Before Cynthia could utter a word, Kelly cut her off. "Please, cut the act. Nathan was at the hospital last night, staying by my sister's side. He was too busy to even catch a nap, much less waste time on someone like you."<br /> <br /> Cynthia's face changed dramatically. "Nathan was at the hospital?"<br /> <br /> "Where else would he be? You think he'd come to see you?" Kelly's voice was thick with sarcasm, as if she had just heard something ridiculous. "You've been caught sneaking around with someone else, and I'm not letting this slide so easily!<br /> <br /> "I'm going to show Nathan just how low you can go!" Kelly declared, her resolve unwavering. "I'm calling him right now to come over!"<br /> <br /> Cynthia couldn't absorb a word. Her mind went blank.<br /> <br /> If Nathan had spent the entire night in the hospital, then who was the man who had been so passionately entwined with her last night?<br /> <br /> A sudden realization made Cynthia's face darken.<br /> <br /> She had been set up!<br /> <br /> Yesterday was their three-year wedding anniversary, and Nathan surprisingly messaged her to meet at a hotel.<br /> <br /> Overjoyed and without a second thought, Cynthia rushed over. But when she arrived, Nathan texted to say he would be late and even ordered her some takeout.<br /> <br /> Cynthia, not sensing anything amiss and simply savoring the food, didn't expect to completely lose consciousness after finishing her meal. And that man last night...<br /> <br /> As Cynthia thought about everything that happened last night, her face turned deathly pale. 'How could this happen?'<br /> <br /> "Nathan already hates you for taking Jessica's place, and now, he'll never forgive you!" Kelly said triumphantly after a quick phone call. She stood firmly in Cynthia's path, blocking her exit.<br /> <br /> Cynthia hadn't even considered leaving. She felt a chill run down her spine. Besides, there weren't many people who could send a message using Nathan's phone.<br /> <br /> Soon, Nathan hurried down the corridor. "Kelly, did you need something from me?"<br /> <br /> He glanced at Cynthia with impatience. "What are you doing here? Jessica is still in the hospital. What are you up to now?"<br /> <br /> "I..." Cynthia opened her mouth, her mind in turmoil, unsure how to respond to him.<br /> <br /> "Nathan, I called you here," Kelly interjected eagerly. "I just so happened to see Cynthia sneaking out of a hotel room with some guy. It's serious, so I had to tell you."<br /> <br /> Nathan's face darkened instantly. "Cynthia, is it true?"<br /> <br /> "Would you believe me if I say I was framed?" Cynthia's eyes held a flicker of hope. "It was you who..."<br /> <br /> A smack came!<br /> <br /> Nathan's hand struck her face with a resounding slap, his expression cold and detached.<br /> <br /> "Pathetic! Why would anyone frame you?" Nathan's eyes blazed with anger at the sight of the red marks on Cynthia's arms.<br /> <br /> Even if he had no feelings for Cynthia, she was still his wife in name. This was nothing but a shame to him.<br /> <br /> Kelly watched with a smirk, stirring the pot. "Exactly, you must be delusional to think someone's out to get you.<br /> <br /> "Nathan, she's just lashing out because you're nice to Jessica. I caught her once, but who knows how many times she's cheated on you. Wake up, man."<br /> <br /> "What else do you have to say?" Nathan's gaze was filled with disgust.<br /> <br /> "What can I say?" Cynthia touched her burning cheek, a cold despair settling in her heart. She looked at Nathan, fighting the urge to laugh bitterly. "Nathan, don't you even want to ask why I ended up here?"<br /> <br /> It was ridiculous that her husband seemed to be solely dedicated to helping others deceive her.<br /> <br /> Nathan's eyes were full of disgust. "What exactly are you trying to say?"<br /> <br /> Cynthia felt utterly disheartened. She held up her phone, emphasizing each word. "Your phone sent me a message to come here. I trusted it and showed up. Did you text me, Nathan?"<br /> <br /> Nathan's gaze flickered. Last night, after getting treated, Jessica borrowed his phone...<br /> <br /> "It seems you know now who it was." Cynthia noticed his evasive look and had her suspicions. She smiled through her tears, "Nathan, I'm your wife. I'm the one being framed."<br /> <br /> Kelly quickly interjected, "Nathan, don't fall for her act. She's just looking for an excuse..."<br /> <br /> "This is between me and my husband. It's not your place to interfere," Cynthia retorted, showing her temper in front of Nathan for the first time.<br /> <br /> "You..." Kelly was furious and about to retort.<br /> <br /> However, Nathan had made up his mind at that moment. "I sent the text. I got tied up, sure, but that's no excuse for you cheating!"<br /> <br /> "It seems this is your choice, then." Cynthia's heart turned cold. Despite knowing she was wronged, he still chose to defend that hypocritical woman. She couldn't believe this was the man she loved.<br /> <br /> Nathan didn't show any sign of guilt. "Cynthia, it's you who fooled around with another man. Who else is there to blame?"<br /> <br /> Even though he felt somewhat uncomfortable about what Jessica did, he still firmly sided with her.<br /> <br /> "I was blind to have trusted the wrong person."<br /> <br /> Cynthia closed her eyes, and when she opened them moments later, they were clear and resolved. "Nathan, let's get a divorce."<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> "Cynthia, what on earth are you thinking?" Nathan frowned slightly while Kelly's eyes flickered with surprise.<br /> <br /> Cynthia gave a self-mocking smile. "Nathan, I'm not someone who clings to what I can't have. Remember, I'm the one walking away from you, not the other way around."<br /> <br /> With those words, Cynthia felt a sudden clarity in her heart.<br /> <br /> "Cynthia, you're the one who messed up, but here you are, playing word games. Are you threatening Nathan?" Kelly said, secretly pleased.<br /> <br /> Cynthia glanced coldly at her. "Kelly, sometimes, you should just stay quiet."<br /> <br /> But Nathan's response caught Cynthia off guard. "I don't agree to the divorce."<br /> <br /> Cynthia let out a bitter laugh. "Isn't this what you've always wanted? Now that I'm stepping aside, you can be with Jessica happily ever after. Why disagree?<br /> <br /> "Or is there something more you're after, something you haven't gotten from me yet?" Cynthia's tone shifted, causing a subtle change in the expressions of the two before her.<br /> <br /> She didn't think herself so self-absorbed to believe Nathan still had feelings for her. Their reactions pretty much confirmed her suspicions.<br /> <br /> "I guess I was right." Cynthia curled up her lips. "So, Nathan, what's it gonna take for you to sign those divorce papers?"<br /> <br /> Nathan's eyes were deep and solemn. At this point, there was nothing left to hide. "Jessica's really sick, Cynthia, and you're the only one who can donate a kidney to save her. That's my only condition. Help her, and you won't regret it, I promise."<br /> <br /> Cynthia was thunderstruck, her voice hoarse with disbelief. "You mean, this whole time...you were just after my kidney?"<br /> <br /> "Jessica is the only one Nathan loves. Why else would he marry you if not to save her?" Kelly sneered, and Nathan's look confirmed that she was right.<br /> <br /> Cynthia felt a chill in her heart. It all made sense now. Nathan had initially balked at his grandfather Mark Richardson's suggestion of marrying Cynthia. He had been adamant about marrying Jessica instead, only to abruptly change his mind when Cynthia was nearly ready to walk away.<br /> <br /> She had hoped that, over time, Nathan might come to love her. But she realized now that from the very start, he had been scheming for her kidney!<br /> <br /> "Cynthia," Nathan said, softening his tone deliberately. "Just help me out this one time, and I promise to keep today's drama under wraps. I'll make it worth your while, enough to start over somewhere far away."<br /> <br /> "In your dreams, Nathan." Cynthia emphasized each word. "Sure, I had feelings for you, but not enough to degrade myself like this."<br /> <br /> "Looks like you choose the hard way." Nathan, never one with a good temper, immediately hardened his stance. "If you refuse to donate a kidney to Jessica, I will absolutely not agree to the divorce."<br /> <br /> Cynthia laughed angrily and retorted, "Fine by me. Do you have any idea how hard I worked to marry you? If you want to grow old with me, then so be it."<br /> <br /> "Cynthia!" Nathan's face soured. He was about to speak when Cynthia ruthlessly cut him off.<br /> <br /> "I just give you one chance, Nathan. Be at the Courthouse entrance at 9 AM sharp tomorrow. If you don't show up..."<br /> <br /> Cynthia smirked coldly. "Then even better. Jessica can forget about marrying into the Richardson family. And I'll make sure to remind you that you'll be a cuckolds for the rest of your life!"<br /> <br /> With that, Cynthia turned and left, not bothering to give Nathan or Kelly a second glance.<br /> <br /> "Nathan, what if she refuses the surgery? What about Jessica?" Kelly, watching Cynthia's retreating figure, feigned urgency.<br /> <br /> Nathan's gaze was deep. "Don't worry. I'll find a way to make her agree."<br /> <br /> As Cynthia stepped out of the hotel, a sleek Rolls-Royce Phantom suddenly pulled up, blocking her path.<br /> <br /> The window rolled down, showing a woman in her forties, still exuding charm, a face often seen on financial news.<br /> <br /> "You're right on time, Mom." Recognizing the woman, Cynthia wasn't surprised at all, her voice and posture shifting to something more dignified.<br /> <br /> "Get in," Heather Brooks said calmly.<br /> <br /> With a deep breath, Cynthia got into the back seat. Throughout the ride, they hardly talked to each other.<br /> <br /> In Litharia, Jenkins Villa stood majestically in the most coveted scenic area, home to the affluent Jenkins family.<br /> <br /> "I've heard the story between you and Nathan. So, have you finally seen Nathan's true colors?"<br /> <br /> In the living room of Jenkins Villa, Heather sipped her coffee, looking at Cynthia indifferently. "It's time for you to come back and take over the family business."<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> Heather had five children, and aside from her only daughter, Cynthia, the other four sons kept their identities hidden, excelling in their fields but refusing to take over the family business.<br /> <br /> Left with no other option, Heather pinned her hopes on Cynthia.<br /> <br /> Cynthia breathed deeply, only then realizing that she had been under her mother's watchful eye for these past three years.<br /> <br /> It wasn't surprising, though. Since her father's death, the Jenkins family had been fragmented. Heather wasn't truly a Jenkins. Although she had been holding the reins, she was surrounded by those eyeing her position. Eventually, Heather had grown accustomed to keeping everything under her control, leaving no stone unturned.<br /> <br /> "It's not possible right now," Cynthia said somewhat helplessly.<br /> <br /> Heather's eyes narrowed as she spoke firmly. "What, you still have feelings for him?"<br /> <br /> "Of course not," Cynthia couldn't help but laugh dryly. "Mom, I just need some time to divorce him. I promise, after the divorce, I will definitely return to the Jenkins family."<br /> <br /> Cynthia mused, why did she ever waste three years pining for Nathan?<br /> <br /> Getting the response she wanted, Heather nodded in satisfaction. "That's more like a Jenkins girl. Also..."<br /> <br /> "What is it?" Seeing Heather hesitating to speak, Cynthia was curious.<br /> <br /> Heather spoke steadily. "The man you slept with at the hotel, do you recall who he is?"<br /> <br /> Cynthia's expression froze, and she remained silent.<br /> <br /> "I'm thinking about finding this man. If he's decent enough, we could welcome him into the family. The Jenkins can certainly afford to support one more. This would also solidify your position in the family."<br /> <br /> What Heather left unsaid was that if the man was not up to her standard, the consequences were obvious.<br /> <br /> Cynthia was at a loss for words. She didn't even know how to argue with that.<br /> <br /> Back in her room, Cynthia lay on the bed, overwhelmed. What happened today was more thrilling than her life during the past three years combined.<br /> <br /> She absently played with the cufflink in her hand, a lone clue left by the mysterious man from the previous night.<br /> <br /> Suddenly, Cynthia realized something and sat up abruptly. The cufflink was a limited edition, and her brother, the third sir of the Jenkins, Eric Jenkins, also a leading designer, might know its origin.<br /> <br /> Without hesitation, Cynthia called Eric.<br /> <br /> "Thia, you've finally taken your eyes off that idiot, huh? What's up?" Eric's voice was cheerful over the phone.<br /> <br /> Cynthia couldn't help but smile, "Starting today, Nathan and I have nothing to do with each other. We're getting divorced tomorrow."<br /> <br /> At that moment, in the midst of a major international jewelry show, Eric sat up straight. "What? What on earth happened to make the blind girl finally see the light?"<br /> <br /> Cynthia laughed. "Come on, stop kidding. Are you free right now? I could really use your help. Check your messages. I've sent you a picture. Can you figure out where this thing's from?"<br /> <br /> The next morning, outside the Courthouse, Nathan stood with a stern expression. He arrived on time and had been waiting for two hours without a glimpse of Cynthia.<br /> <br /> His calls went unanswered, and just as his patience was running thin, Cynthia finally arrived.<br /> <br /> She was dressed to the nines, radiant and elegant, a stark contrast to her former self. Nathan almost didn't recognize her at first sight.<br /> <br /> "What now? Getting cold feet about the divorce?" Seeing Cynthia slowly making her appearance, Nathan thought she regretted her decision not to divorce and had dressed up like this to win him back, feeling smug.<br /> <br /> "Getting cold feet? Why do I have to?" Cynthia touched her earring. She had intentionally made Nathan wait outside today.<br /> <br /> Cynthia was certain that Nathan wouldn't leave as long as his goal remained unmet, even if it meant waiting there all day.<br /> <br /> Nathan snorted, "As long as you're willing to help Jessica, we can still be friends."<br /> <br /> "What are you thinking? We're getting divorced and you still think we can be friends?" Cynthia scoffed dismissively. "You know what, Nathan? I've changed my mind. Why should I rely on a man who's after my organs? There are plenty of decent men out there, like that guy from the hotel. I'm quite satisfied with him."<br /> <br /> Even if Nathan had once saved her life, the help she had given him secretly over the past three years was more than enough to settle any debt.<br /> <br /> "Shameless!" Nathan didn't expect Cynthia to change her attitude so quickly, grinding his teeth in anger.<br /> <br /> Cynthia was unapologetic. "And what about you? Let's go. I can hardly wait."

Six words that I never ever thought I would hear. Six words that brought me to tears and six words that put a stop to a six year long relationship.<br /> "I think we should break up" He spoke, not even showing any sign of remorse or regret for saying that to me.<br /> "But why?" I asked wiping my crying eyes on the sleeve of my top.<br /> "Lex, I love you but we've only ever been with each other, I'm 20 and been with one girl my whole life, I want to experience other things. I've been at the house and packed my things up. You remember Tommy? Yeah, well I'm living with him now." He scratched the base of his neck and I still couldn't believe it.<br /> I was stunned.<br /> －－－－－－<br /> "You want me to go throw a punch at him?" Jock smirked, but his brown eyes held an anger in them, he was like a over protective brother to me. A hot one.<br /> I sighed, shaking my head as I reached over under the bench and grabbing a clear shot glass "He wants to sleep with other women. Can you believe that, Six years of my life wasted on that tosser all because he's now realised he wants to get his numbers up" I rolled my eyes as I started pouring a shot of spirits. The best thing about working here was the unlimited free booze we were offered each shift.<br /> "He's loss someone else's gain. Your a catch Lex and I know a lot of guys who will be chasing after you" Jock grinned, taking the bottle off me and doing a shot in his mouth, swallowing and smirking "Go home and take the night off. Cry, scream, throw things, go and do whatever it is broken hearted chicks do and then come back once your feeling less angry."<br /> "I don't need to take the night off, I will be fine working and I wont be throwing things or chucking a hissy fit like you just described, You need to get your facts about girls right, not all of them miss you when you leave them after a quickie" I laughed shaking my head at him, of course he would think he's broken many hearts. He probably has actually.<br /> "Alexandra go home or I will take you out the back, bend you forward and do you over the cartons of spirits" He stepped closer wiggling his brows.<br /> I lightly punched his chest laughing "Fine I will go home, but I will be back later tonight."<br /> "Come back here and when I knock off then we'll really get wasted and party it up, We'll go bar hopping" He grinned pulling me into his muscled chest for a hug.<br /> Jock was like a best friend of mine. He of course was Thirty so pretty older than what I was, but he didn't act his age. He acted more a Seventeen year old boy, and of course he had a different woman most nights, he called it living the good life.<br /> I made my way home slwoly to where I shared a town house with my best friend forever Brooke, she was a fitness instructor and a major 'friends with benefits' type of girl. We had lived together for almost a year and it was seriously the best thing ever. We were best friends since little girls and had done everything together. We were inseparable. I knew she was going to be pissed with Cole big time, but at least all his things were gone. He had only moved in not even four months ago and now he was sick of me. Maybe I wasn't that fun to live with.<br /> "Hey beauty, What's up?" She grinned as she lay stretched out over the couch with a blanket snaked around her small body, she was extremely thin and I hated how skinny she looked, I told her once that she needed to eat more and she laughed it off.<br /> "Well stunner" I started "Cole dumped me because he to go sleep with other women and not be tied down to me boring me" I shrugged, trying so bad as I was holding back the tears but failed miserably, they slowly started to trickle out.<br /> "Are you serious? That freaking hip face dumped you!" She jumped up off the couch, the blanket falling as she continued shouted profanities and looking ready to knock someone out.<br /> "Yeah, so I don't know. I don't know what I did wrong but he moved out and gave the key back. I guess I need to just move on and forget about him" I walked into my bedroom slumping down on the top of my queen sized bed. I couldn't even think about being with someone else right now.<br /> "Well only way way to get over a guy, and that's to get back underneath another" She grinned when I turned my head to look at her. Giving her a smirk of my own, of course she would say something like that, being the woman she is.<br /> Brooke left the bedroom and I snuggled under the doona cover. I cried into the pillow for however long it was. Enough to stop the tears from coming out and soaking up the pillow.<br /> I looked around the bedroom and he was telling the truth all his things had been moved, all his things were gone. The only thing left was a photo of the two of us. We were at school, it was our first photo as an official couple. I remember when he asked me out, he was nervous and so cute but I said yes since I liked him anyway, actually I had been crushing on him for weeks. He was the typical jock type. Playing football each weekend and then going to parties with friends. I would go with him and he wasn't a jerk who would ignore me, he instead would spend the entire time next to me, ignoring the bimbo's that tried to hit on him.<br /> My parents loved him they never had any problems with us dating, or spending the night with each other. Well more so mum loved the fact that his parents were well off. She was all about finding a guy with money and I was the opposite. I wanted love not money.<br /> She was going to be devastated when she found out about us splitting up.<br /> I dried my eyes and realised I needed to get back to the bar and stop the pathetic sulking. Obviously he isn't upset about the break up so why should I be. I needed a change and only one person could help me with that. She was also now leaning against at my bedroom door.<br /> "Brooke" I dragged out slowly as I batted my lashes a couple times.<br /> "Yes" she mimicked me with a laugh.<br /> "Dress me up! We're going out and drinking" I was going to unleash my inner bad girl.<br /> She was up in my closet in a flash. Jumping up and down and basically in other words, she was going crazy. I mean Cole didn't like it when I showed off parts of my body. If we went out and I was in a revealing top he would always make me cover up with his jumper. He didn't even like that I had my stomach pierced. Told me I looked cheap and trashy.<br /> Two whole hours later and I was staring at my reflection in the mirror. I was staring and in shock. She had managed to make me look like a Victoria's Secret Supermodel.<br /> I didn't look like your typical duck face. I actually looked like me. My long blonde hair was all out and slightly curled at the ends. I had naturally waved hair that looked like someone had spent hours working on, beach hair as Brooke called it.<br /> My hazel green eyes were standing out behind the thick lashes and black thick eye liner. My body was definitely on full show with a deep pink play suit. When I say body I mean my chest, which was braless. My long tanned legs were very visible since the shorts were quite shorter. Cole would flip out if he ever seen me in something like this and to top it off the underwear I was wearing was a tiny black lace thong.<br /> Yes I am dressed up and actually feel hot. Something I haven't felt like for a very long time.<br /> I slipped on some black heels that made me even taller than normal. I was actually tall, which I luckily inherited from my father. I inherited most of his traits from his hazel eyes to slightly tanner skin. I did get my blonde hair off mum though since dad has light brown and now greying.<br /> "You ready to go babe?" Brooke called out walking back into my room. She was in a little skimpy red number and with her tanned skin and dark brown hair, she was looking hotter than ever.<br /> "Yes, Let's go get drunk and party it up" I smiled. Grabbing my phone. My phone which had been bombarded with texts from Cole, saying he was sorry for hurting me. I ignored them. Actually I had gone to reply but Brooke slapped my hands away and said not to give in. She was right. I wasn't going to be the sad moping girlfriend who sits around heart broken while they guy who dumped her has the time of his life.<br /> Tonight I was going to unleash the new me and party it up, I was going to be free of the sadness and do nothing but smile, laugh and drink. I was going to get completely drunk and hopefully forget how bad he actually hurt me.<br /> I sure did party it up. For three weeks I have been drinking constantly. Getting so drunk most nights and of course flirting around with very cute guys. I never pecked or slept with anyone because I just wasn't ready for that.<br /> No, I had still held that little bit of hope that Cole would change his mind. I was stupid.<br /> Today though, I found out that Cole had slept with someone only mere hours after breaking things off with me. I really didn't think he could just toss me aside like that, hurting me the worst way possible. I thought he would have waited, or if he did do it then it wasn't going to be with the girl who spent most of our school year on her back and had her legs open for anyone. The girl who always hit on him at the parties and tried to split us up. That was just a hard kick in the face.<br /> So tonight I was dancing, drinking and doing lots of flirting. I was single and now I was actually starting to love it.<br /> I felt a set of arms sliding around my waist, pulling me back into a body that was moving behind mine. Turning around to see Jock right there with a wide spread grin across his face.<br /> "You know how hot you look tonight?" He yelled out over the loud thumping music.<br /> "Hotter than you?" I teased as I yelled back, wrapping my arms around his neck to pull him closer.<br /> He laughed but I couldn't hear that. All I could just see his mouth moving as he started dancing with me again. I was drunk, so bloody drunk and I didn't care. I hadn't even told my parents I split with Cole. I knew there was going to be a lot of things going down when I did tell them. But tonight I just wanted to live and let loose again.<br /> Without even thinking straight my hands reached up and gripped Jock's face as I crashed my lips over his. He responded immediately and I knew he would. That guy was always up for a good quick bang. Plus, I had caught him numerous times doing so, not fun to walk in on his undressed hip going at it behind a girl.<br /> Did it bother me that I was hooking up with what Cole wanted to become? Nope.<br /> Brooke told me to go out and have fun, to go be free and single and do what girls our age were doing. So I was trying to do that.<br /> We kept pecking and dancing into each other. Our hands feeling each other up and I was well aware at how happy he was right now, I could feel it. I ran my hands through his gelled hair, tugging gently as he gripped my hip tighter as he pulled us even closer. Knowing exactly what I wanted right now.<br /> "Your place?" I spoke in his ear just loud enough for him to hear and the others that were dancing around us not to.<br /> He nodded and took my hand as we walked off the dance floor. His car was parked around the back and I knew I was in no state to even think about driving. Jock probably wasn't either but he made it back to his place in only a six minute drive. We were banging our way through his house, not literally banging but pretty close as our bodies pressed together. My legs wrapped around his waist while our tongues were tasting each other and hands rushing as we started peeling each others clothing off.<br /> The next thing I knew I was being pushed onto his bed. Which I must admit was comfy, and his room was cleaner than I ever imagined as well.<br /> "Tonight babe, your going to go to heaven and back" He grinned as his eyes skimmed down my undressed body.<br /> "That what you tell all the ladies?" I smirked as I ran my fingers over the tattoos along his chest.<br /> "Believe what you want, but your the only girl good enough to come back to my place" He lowered his body down and pecked me lightly. Pecking for a few minutes, moving down my chest and then wasted no time at all as he dived his mouth between my thighs. Showing me just how different an experienced man could be, he was amazing as I moaned and bucked my hips to his face and came shortly after.<br /> The bright sun woke me up. The pounding headache was throbbing badly as I turned slowly, looking beside me to see that Jock was fast asleep.<br /> My eyes widened as it all came crashing back to me. Oh god I slept with my boss. Of all the people in the bar it just had to be him. Not that I regretted it, because I definitely didn't regret it.<br /> "Go back to sleep Lexi" he groaned into the pillows as he turned and looked at me "I'll sleep with you again if you keep watching me"<br /> ...<br /> Brooke was in the bathroom after me as soon as I went to close the door. Her face was begging me for details. "Why is your hot boss bringing you home?" she whispered and then her eyes widened more "Why are you just getting home now?"<br /> I smiled and lowered my voice, biting my lip slightly "I slept with him last night and have been with him since then"<br /> "You screwed your boss. How was he?" She tried not to scream, I could tell that was extremely hard for her to do so. She had a very loud voice when she got over excited.<br /> "Amazing" I answered quietly "He's definitely amazing and knows what he's doing"<br /> "I cant believe you finally slept with someone else" She then jumped up and down. Screaming loudly as she ran back outside.<br /> True to my word I was only five minutes and then I was back in the living room where Jock and Brooke were talking. She was asking if he enjoyed his night of Alex's treasure. Trust her to try get the gory details off him.<br /> "Right. We need to leave so leave him alone Brooke, Let me poor man breathe" I spoke a little louder to announce my arrival in the room.<br /> Jock stood up and looked at me mouthing Thank-You, I figured I was saving him from her intense third degree of questioning.<br /> As we drove to work I guess I needed to get clear on something "So last night" I started.<br /> "Just bed relationship" He stated keeping his eyes on the road.<br /> Lucky I wasn't the clingy type, I couldn't jump into another relationship right now "Good. I'm glad its just bed relationship."<br /> He was quiet for a little while until he was starting to drum his fingers over the steering wheel, looking a little nervous as he glanced over and spoke "I kind of have something to ask you. It's last minute but I need a favour"<br /> "Of course" I answered him, "What do you need?"<br /> "Will you come with me to my sisters wedding in Fiji next weekend? I really don't want to go stag and well, I know that if I take you then you wont get all clingy and stalkerish afterwards" He spoke, his voice actually sounding more nervous.<br /> I wasn't expecting that at all. How did we go from just bed relationship to then being dates at a family wedding.<br /> "Wedding is at Eleven tomorrow morning" He spoke as we made our way towards the bungalow over the water. It was breathtaking here. I definitely didn't expect to stay somewhere like this, I took Jock for more of a back packers place but this was nice. I think his sister is paying for it all anyway.<br /> "Are you sure I'm ok to be here. Isn't this just family only?" I asked. I felt a little uncomfortable knowing I was meeting his whole family. Brooke was more than excited that I was staying with the hot bartender for a weekend. I was now high in her books as I screwed my boss after work.<br /> "Your fine being here" He chuckled "We should get an early night though, it's going to be a long day tomorrow and it's late as it is." He then winked.<br /> ...<br /> I felt myself blush as little as the guys all joined us. The groom went first and introduced himself "Bradley, great to meet a girl who can tie this man down"<br /> I grinned. Getting a little embarrassed, "Sorry but were just friends and that's it"<br /> "True. I'm her boss" Jock stated.<br /> The next guy went and so forth until the last guy. The last man leant over, his smouldering deep blue eyes boring intensely into mine, his smile was charming and heck he was a mighty fine piece of hip. Tall, dark and handsome didn't even begin to describe him "Blake" His husky deep voice spoke as he grinned a perfect smile. His hand was so soft and yet still so firm. I literally found it hard to even remove my eyes from his. There was something about him. His voice was somehow familiar.<br /> "So are you all set to marry Kelly?" Jock asked grinning.<br /> "Sure am. She's called non stop, making sure I was still turning up and wasn't drunk somewhere" he chuckled.<br /> The guys talked more. Well, actually they gave Bradley about getting married and loosing his freedom. Apparently his soon to be wife is a very big control freak who likes to know his every move, and Bradley has been a known player.<br /> "So Alex. You must be more than a colleague to be here with Jock. What's the story between you two?" Joel smirked as he lent in closer.<br /> I shrugged as Jock hand rubbed mine that was on my thigh, giving me a squeeze and then bringing his hand back up to the table. "We're just good friends" I answered. Nothing to lie about so I may as well be honest.<br /> "Friends in bed maybe" he smirked back. I didn't give them the satisfaction of answering that comment. I looked back towards Blake and noticed he was already looking at me, the feeling I felt last night was back and I couldn't help wonder if he was that guy I was talking to. He would have said something if it was though. Right?<br /> It must have been a little over three hours later and I sat beside Jock. Wearing a blue off the shoulder dress that came just above my knees. Watching as his sister and her almost husband say their vows. The ceremony was beautiful. She looked so pretty and everything was perfect, a little over the top expensive but it was still nice. I kind of wondered what my own wedding would have been like if I married Cole. I tried not to think about it, but it was hard not too. The thing that helped take my mind off it was the tall dark haired man standing in navy suit. His eyes were on me, a chill running up my spine as I looked at him. I noticed his lips grow into a slight smirk and he then looked back towards the couple getting married. I really hope Jock didn't just notice that.<br /> The reception was in full swing. Speech's had been done and Jock had gone to get me a jacket since the weather had gotten a little chilly and being an outside restaurant wasn't doing me any favours. Thirty minutes of sitting alone I was getting sightly annoyed. It was only a five minute walk back to the room so I had no idea where he was. I decided to wait another five minutes up at the bar and had another fruit tingle.<br /> I headed back out to the pathway, slightly tipsy and stumbling a little bit towards our bungalow. There was people talking from the wedding along the path. I could still hear the music playing as I got further and further away, until there was nothing but the ocean crashing into the sand along the beach.<br /> The light was on in the room and door unlocked when I went to open the door so I knew Jock was in here. When I pushed the open the door more I realised why he was so late. I definitely didn't think he would be shagging someone in the bed we had only just slept in that morning.<br /> "God" He cursed as I stood frozen on the spot. What felt like ages I finally snapped out of it and turned around. Slamming the door a little too loud just to let him know I was definitely annoyed at him being in there with her. They could have gone elsewhere.<br /> I had no idea where I was going to go, but I wasn't staying in that room tonight. I had my head down as I walked back down the path from our room. Covering my arms from the cool breeze when I crashed into a hard body. Looking up at the person I had knocked into as I went to apologise until he spoke first.<br /> "Lex" It was him. He's the man from the middle of the night.<br /> My heart started beating erratically as I whispered back. "Blake."

Josh and I are going to have a baby.<br /> But I didn't get a chance to tell him the news. He's gone.<br /> He's gone, and left me with our baby growing in my stomach.<br /> He left me.<br /> <br /> Four years later, on my friend’s wedding.<br /> "Who is the last groomsmen?" Rebecca asked clearly not seeing the look on my face.<br /> "Josh," Elena said the one name that made my world come crashing down.<br /> This is going to be a wonderful wedding.<br /> ___________<br /> It has officially been four years since Josh left me and all his friends and family here in San Diego. A lot has changed. My beautiful daughters, Brynlee Reese and Keegan Ryder, are now three years old. My dad died from brain cancer last year after battling long enough to see his granddaughters turn two. He loved them more than anything. It's been hard for us, especially my mom, but we're getting by. I graduated from the University of San Diego last year with a teaching degree in English, and am going on my second year of teaching at my old high school, Fremont High School. Jordyn, my 17 year old sister, is a junior there.<br /> Ever since my pregnancy, I've had help from my family, Josh's family, and our friends. I couldn't really hide Josh's daughters from his parents since the girls are their granddaughters, and they promised not to tell him. Let's just say that they weren't too pleased with how Josh left. I've tried to tell Josh about Brynlee and Keegan, but he doesn't answer any of my calls or I chickened out. Cory and Tyler have offered to tell him since he actually keeps in contact with them, along with his family, but I want him to hear it from me. Now, I think it's a little too late to tell him especially since he's happy on his own. He's off playing professional baseball for the New York Yankees while dating multiple girls, according to the gossip sites.<br /> Josh's sister, Delaney, got married last year at a destination wedding that only included close family members. I was invited since the girls are her nieces, but I declined the invitation knowing I would have to see him. She is now a pediatrician while her husband, Landon Gray, took over his father's oil company. My best friend, Elena Pratt, just graduated from nursing school and started her new job at the local hospital. She is also currently engaged to Tyler Stephens, Josh and I's best friend. They've been dating since our junior year of high school. Tyler works alongside Landon as the financial manager. Cory Sutton, Josh and I's other best friend, is now a gym teacher and baseball coach at Fremont High School. He was suppose to become a professional baseball player like Josh, but he suffered a serious shoulder injury which ended his playing days. Teaching was always his backup.<br /> The continuous jumping on my bed followed by loud giggles disturbed my sleep. My eyes fluttered open to see two toddlers wide awake.<br /> "Mommy!" Keegan screamed as she jumped onto me with the intention of a hug. Her knotted brown hair fell to the sides of her face as her big brown eyes gleamed with excitement. Brynlee continued jumping as her blonde hair bounced with her.<br /> "Good morning to you girlies too," I responded hugging Keegan as Brynlee cuddled to my side. "What do you girls want for breakfast?"<br /> "WAFFLES!" They both squealed jumping from the bed as they ran out of my bedroom. I then got up from the comfort of my bed sheets and put my fuzzy gray robe on over my pajamas that consisted of shorts and an old t-shirt. When I reached the kitchen, the girls were there digging the Eggo waffles out of the freezer.<br /> "Can you put the box on the counter for me?" I asked as I pulled out the toaster from one of the many cabinets. Keegan did as I told her and then ran to the living room with Brynlee following behind. She then turned on the TV to their favorite show, Doc McStuffins. I put three waffles into the toaster and waited for them to pop back out when they were done.<br /> Looking over at the girls brought back memories. I was absolutely shocked when I found out I was having twins.<br /> I laid down waiting for the doctor to enter while my mom sat in the nearby chair. I anxiously played with my long painted nails looking down at my small bump. Soon enough the doctor came into the room.<br /> "Hello, I'm Dr. Valente. You must be Sabrina and her mom," she greeted shaking my mom's hand then moving over to me. "Are we ready to see the little one?"<br /> I nodded my head as she instructed what to do before putting the gel on my stomach. She had the screen pointed towards her allowing me to only see the shocked expression on her face.<br /> "What's wrong?" I asked suddenly worried.<br /> "Nothing's wrong, but it looks like you're having twins." The minute the words came out of her mouth, my jaw dropped to the floor.<br /> I'm having two babies.<br /> The sudden sound of waffles popping out of the toaster brought me back to reality. I began to fix me and the girls a plate before calling them over to the dining table. As they scooped pieces of the waffle into their mouth, I got a text from Elena.<br /> Are you on your way??<br /> Yes but we might be a little late.<br /> I completely lost track of time and now we're going to be late for Elena's meeting with her wedding planner. Since I'm the maid of honor, she wants me there too.<br /> It's currently 10:25, and we have to be at her house at 10:30 which is a 7 minute drive. Great.<br /> "Girls, go brush your teeth and then come to your bedroom," I instructed grabbing the empty plates from the table and rinsing them off in the sink. They sprinted off to the bathroom while I went to pick out their outfits for today.<br /> I pulled two matching floral dresses from their closet as they came running in. I then grabbed their white converses and helped them get dressed.<br /> Once finished they ran to the living room where Doc McStuffins was still playing on the TV. While they were occupied, I ran over to my room to get myself dressed. I put on a simple black and white striped button up that was halfway tucked into light denim shorts. I then slipped on sandals before pulling my blonde hair into a high ponytail.<br /> After brushing my teeth and putting on my makeup, I got the girls out the apartment door and we headed to the car. I buckled them into their car seats and started the car. When Will My Life Begin from Tangled played non stop the whole car ride.<br /> We soon arrived to Elena and Tyler's house. Once Keegan was free from the buckles, she sprinted from where the car was parked on the driveway into Tyler's arms. As soon as he saw the car pull in, he slammed the door open ready to see his nieces. Brynlee, on the other hand, was fast asleep in her car seat. She stirred slightly when I picked her up, and then laid her head on my shoulder.<br /> "Is someone sleepy?" I asked in the voice you make when talking to a child. She then nodded with her eyes still closed making me chuckle.<br /> I entered into the house to see Elena and another woman sitting at the kitchen counter. They didn't notice me at first until Bryn let out a little yawn.<br /> "Hey Sab, this is Rebecca, my wedding planner. Rebecca, this is my best friend and maid of honor, Sabrina," Elena introduced. I smiled at the red-headed woman in front of me. Rebecca had to be in her mid-forties, but she was in incredible shape.<br /> "It's nice to meet," I greeted shaking her hand. "I need to lay this little one down somewhere so I'll be right back."<br /> I walked out of the kitchen and into the living room were Keegan and Tyler were both watching Peppa Pig. I set Bryn on the couch and she immediately cuddled into Tyler's side.<br /> "How's the little princess?" Ty asked cuddling her.<br /> "Sleepy," I answered. "Well I need to go back to your fianc茅e so make sure they don't injure themselves."<br /> "Are you still holding that against me?"<br /> "You dropped my daughter."<br /> "So what do we have so far?" I asked coming back into the kitchen after a small argument with Tyler. I won!<br /> "The color scheme is going to be burgundy and gold. We've also set the date for November 6 which is a Saturday," Elena answered as I sat in the chair next to her.<br /> "Now we'll discuss who's in the wedding and the smaller details like decorations," Rebecca directed. "So who all is in the wedding?"<br /> "Well we have both of our parents. Sabrina is my maid of honor. Tyler's best friend, Cory, is his best man. Our flower girls are Keegan and Brynlee, Sabrina's daughters. The ring bearer is Tyler's cousin, Nathan."<br /> "Okay, what about bridesmaids and groomsmen?"<br /> "For bridesmaids, I have Delaney, Angela, Kelly, Haley, and Jordyn," she listed. Delaney is Josh's sister which we are both really close to. Angela and Kelly are two soon-to-be nurses that Elena met at med school. Haley is her 14 year old sister while Jordyn is my sister.<br /> "For the groomsmen, there is Landon, Calum, Griffin, Scott, and..." her voice faded as she looked over at me with a worried look as I just gave her a confused look back. Landon is Delaney's husband and Tyler's boss/ friend. Calum is a buddy from college. Griffin is Tyler's 17 year old brother, and Scott is his 12 year old brother.<br /> Who else is there... wait.<br /> I immediately changed my confused expression to one of horror.<br /> "Who is the last groomsmen?" Rebecca asked clearly not seeing the look on my face.<br /> "Josh," Elena said the one name that made my world come crashing down.<br /> This is going to be a wonderful wedding.<br /> Josh's POV<br /> I was sitting on my tan couch looking at the muted TV in front of me as I waited for Tyler to answer his phone. Luckily, he answered on the third ring.<br /> "Hey man, shouldn't you being doing something baseball related?" He asked.<br /> "Hey," I greeted. "Today is my day off."<br /> "Ah, so why are you calling me at 8 in the morning on your day off? You should be sleeping in."<br /> "I guess I'm just use to waking up early," I lied knowing that I didn't even sleep last night. I mean how could I? This penthouse is quite lonely when you're actually in it. I'm barely ever here due to playing. When I am here I tend to think, and thinking leads to no sleep.<br /> Most of the time, I am out like a light when I hit my bed since training wore me out, but I wasn't necessarily tired.<br /> "We both know that's a lie. You didn't sleep last night did you?"<br /> He knows me too well.<br /> "Maybe."<br /> "Is it about Sabrina?" He asked already knowing the answer to that question. It's always about her. She's in my mind all the time. I like to use playing and partying as a way to forget about her, but it never works. I even try to get with other girls, but back out when it comes to taking them home. They're just not her.<br /> "Can we not talk about it?" I asked ready to change the subject. "What are you doing right now?"<br /> "It's 8 o'clock on a Monday morning. What do you think I'm doing?"<br /> "Sorry. Did I interrupt anything at work?" I cringe knowing I didn't even think about him possibly being busy.<br /> "Nah, I just got here," he said knowing I would feel guilty for interrupting something.<br /> "You're a jerk."<br /> "I know. Now why are you calling me?"<br /> "Can't I just say hi to my friend?"<br /> "Not when we literally talked last night about the wedding," he reminded. Last night, after the meeting with the wedding planner, he gave me the details of the date so I could work it out with my schedule. That also reminds me that I need to talk to Coach.<br /> "Fine," I gave in. "I just want to know how she is."<br /> "Sabrina is fine. Today is actually the first day of school."<br /> "Was she nervous?"<br /> "Why don't you ask her yourself?" These past few years, I've constantly asked Cory and Tyler how Sab was doing. They would get annoyed every once in a while, and they were pretty mad at me when I first left. I completely understand though. What I did was a bad move, but there's no way to take it back.<br /> "Because if I call her and hear her voice, I know I'm going to automatically get a plane ticket to San Diego."<br /> "You're going to have to see her at the wedding though."<br /> "I know."<br /> "Cory, if you don't hurry up, I'm leaving your hip here," I heard her growl out.<br /> Sabrina.<br /> The sound of her voice just hit me. It hasn't changed one bit, and man do I miss it.<br /> "Well I got to go. See you soon," he ended the call leaving me to think about her.<br /> I have exactly 2 weeks until I see her again, and I'm not sure if I'm completely ready.<br /> <br /> Sabrina's POV<br /> Now it's time for lunch, and I'm craving some Panera. Cory and I both have a lunch break now since we don't have classes during lunch period. I'm currently making my way toward the gym to meet with him so we can drive over to Panera Bread.<br /> "Cory, if you don't hurry up, I'm leaving your hip here," I practically yelled out after barging into his office.<br /> "Well I got to go. See you soon," Cory said into his phone making me realize that he was taking to someone.<br /> "Was that an important phone call?"<br /> "No, it was just Josh," he spoke.<br /> "What'd he want?" I said with a disgusted tone as we walked toward his car.<br /> "Just talking about the wedding."<br /> When we finally got to Panera, I jumped out of the car wanting nothing more than a good sandwich. With Cory following behind, I entered and stood in line ready to order.<br /> "Did he say when he was coming back? I need to prepare myself." I said worried of what would happen when he sees the girls or when I finally see him in person for the first time in four years.<br /> What if I blurt out that he's a father? What if he figures it out on his own?<br /> "He's coming September 10," Cory replied with a concerned face as I gave him one of horror.<br /> "That's not enough time."<br /> "Enough time for what?"<br /> "For me to change my name and leave the country."<br /> "Sabrina," he gave me a stern look. "I think it's time to tell him about Keegan and Brynlee. He deserves to know."<br /> "I know, and I'll try," I said. "If I don't tell him by the time he leaves then you have my permission to tell him yourself."<br /> <br /> Josh's POV<br /> I walked out of the gym with my shirt hanging over my shoulder, my water bottle in one hand, and my phone in the other. Before I made it to my car, a blonde girl stood in front of my door.<br /> "Hello, hot stuff," she greeted with a smirk and a wink.<br /> "Hi?" I questioned wondering who this woman is.<br /> "I'm Tiffany, and I was just about to go to the gym when I saw you," she explained.<br /> "You were about to go to the gym in jeans?" I asked taking in her outfit. Does she think I'm stupid?<br /> "Yeah-," she was cut off by the sound of my phone ringing. I looked down to see it was Cory calling.<br /> "I have to take this," I stated as she moved away from the door allowing me to get in my car. I immediately answered the phone while also starting the car.<br /> "Hey man, what's up?" I greeted as I pulled out of the parking lot leaving the girl standing there.<br /> "Nothing much. I actually need your help coming up with ideas for Tyler's bachelor party."<br /> "Well Tyler is a kid at heart, so I would definitely do something fun like a trampoline park or an amusement park," I responded as I heard loud squeals in the background. It's sounds like an actual child.<br /> "Hold on," he told me. "Keegan get down from the counter you're going to fall."<br /> Who's Keegan?<br /> "Okay, I'm back," he stated after a long pause filled with giggles. "A trampoline park sounds great."<br /> "Yeah," I agreed still confused. "Who's Keegan?"<br /> "Oh-," he was cut off by the sound of cries. "Brynlee, what did your mother say about running down the stairs? Hey man, I have to go. Talk to you later."<br /> Before I could respond back, he hung up.<br /> Who is Keegan? Who is Brynlee? Whose kids are they? Did Cory have kids without telling me?
