I stare at myself in the mirror, completely satisfied with my look I’m wearing a baby pink off-shoop and a matching floral balloon skirt that goes all the way up to the top of my knees. My hair is elegantly styled into a bun, with a few tendrils framing my face softly. My makeup is subtle yet elegant with a rosy blush on my cheekseep of shimmery eyeshadow that matches my dress.

“Wow, you look like a princess, Mommy!” Kai says as he enters the room.

“Why, thank you, dear Sir,” I beam at him. “You look dashing yourself”

Wearing a suit, and his black h

hair combed back, he looks even more like..

I sigh, remembering Kayden once again..

“Stop thinking about him!’ I scold myself. He’s a lying s*n of a bi*ch!”

He sounded so desperate when he told me that he wanted me back. He looked so disappoir fake DNA test saying that Ethan is the father of Kai. Then it turned out that Megan is preg confessing his feelings for me, he’s been banging my stepsister?

“Seriously, who does that? What an as*hole!

We follow her down the small hall of the chapel.

“Lyn is ready?”

“Yes! She can’t wait!”.

I hear the sound of the piano as Daisy hands me a bouquet of roses.

“See you later, Mommy,” Kai smiles as he walks down the aisle.

After a few minutes, Daisy gives me a cue. It’s time for me to march.

…… at me.

I take a deep breath, feeling the delicate fabric of my skirt swish around me, and begin to walk down the aisle. I feel a mix of emotions inside. I feel all teary and emotional. I never knew walking down the aisle can feel like this. I have been married once, but I never walked down the aisle before. Kayden didn’t give me the luxury of walking down the aisle. It was a quick, unemotional ceremony. I guess that’s his way of sending me a message. That wedding was nothing more than it is-a business deal, a desperate resort, a band-aid solution.

I see Ethan standing beside his cousin, Norman, at the altar. The moment he sees me, he cannot help the wide smile on his face. Then he winks at me, and I cannot help giggling.

I stand in my place on the side of the altar, opposite Ethan.

“You look amazing,” he mouths.

Then the pianist starts playing “The Bridal Chorus” and all our eyes go to the entrance.

And there she is, dressed in pure white, strapless ball gown, the lace intricately embroidered with sparkling crystals. Gazing at Lyn, as she walks down the aisle, no one will be able to tell that this was a whirlwind romance. She met Ethan’s cousin, when? Three months ago? And now, here they are. Taking a plunge all of a sudden that we all had to rush to Vegas for their wedding. But Lyn is already six weeks pregnant. Norman is adamant about marrying her before she starts showing

I am truly happy for Lyn. At least one of us is walking down the aisle without so much drama of complications. Going to Vegas, in a way, is an escape for me. Since I spoke to my father last night, and he told me to stay away on Kayden, I just want to be away from them all. My father… Megan.. and especially Kayden.

After the wedding, we take Kai back to the hotel. Lyn hired a new nanny to take care of Kai while than 11 celebrate their wedding with them.

“Are you sure that Lyn screened the nanny she hired?” Ethan ask

“Yes.” I reply. “I also checked her profile. She has a degree in child care, and she came highly remended by her previous employers, who seem to be high profile as well.”

“Good,” he says. “I will hire a bodyguard for Kai.”

“That’s not necessary, Ethan,” I argue. “You’re already hiring one for me. Besides, we already Not Kai.

Ged that I’m the target.

“Okay.” Ethan nods. “But I’ll have the new nanny checked again.”

“Suit yourself.”

“Lyn seems happy,” he says.

“She is. I still can’t believe she’s married and pregnant!.I sigh. “I was too caught up with my ow has a life, too.”

“I still can’t find it hard to believe that they’ve met each other three months ago, and now they:

“Kayden and I got married three days after we met each other,” say absent-mindedly.

Ethan falls quiet. When I turn to him, I see that he is looking seriously ahead, gripping the stirring wheel tightly

I sigh. “I’m sorry, I wasn’t thinking when I said that.”

“It’s okay,” he murmurs. “I just wish I could turn back time to when Steele did not exist in your life.”

“That’s not possible,” I sigh. “Because that will also mean Kai won’t exist in my life. And you know Kai is my life.”

“I know,” he heaves a sigh. “And you… you are my life. You know that.”

I know. I know that too well.

chuckles.

“Ethan… my life is crazy right now. I have my grandfather’s will. have Kai’s bone marrow transplant. And now, somebody wants to kill me.”

And I’ll be with you through all of that. You never have to go through with that alone.”

“But that won’t be fair to you. I would always feel like I’m using you.”

“So what? I don’t care! As long as you’re with me. Use me however you want.”

1 sigh in frustration. Tears start to peer in my eyes. “It won’t be fair to you. And I will always feel guilty about not being able to return your feelings.”

“Why can’t you return my feelings? Is it because of Steele?” Ethan’s voice is cold and grim.⠀⠀

“If that were the reason, how come I didn’t agree to date you even before I went back to South Carouna? Kayden has been out of my life for years! I wanted nothing to do with him. I won’t even tell him that he’s Kai’s father

Ethan falls quiet.

For the rest of the ride to the restaurant, we both say nothing to each other.

I’m sure that I love Ethan as a friend. But do I love him as a boyfriend or a future husband? I am sure. And I don’t want to think about it right now.

Arriving at the restaurant, the tension between Ethan and me is thick. We sit at our table in silen, the weight of unspoken words hanging heavily in the air.

“Are you guys okay?” Lyn asks.

“Yeah! Sure!” I reply.

I excuse myself to go to the bar, needing a moment to gather my thoughts and drown out th inside me.

As I sipped on my drink, I can’t shake off the unease that has settled within me. From across the ro pulled in the middle of dancefloor by some redhead.

“Huh? Is he drunk already?”

I have never seen Ethan get near any woman before. But right now, he’s laughing in the middle woman grinds her body against his.

Is he trying to make me jealous?”

Well, I’m not jealous. Not really. Because I know that’s not the kind of woman he’d go for. Ethan is more decent hat.

I turn on my phone for the first time since I landed in Vegas. Things had been so hectic. I forgot to turn it on. I figured I was with Kai anyway, so I’m not waiting for any phone call that requires immediate attention.

My phone starts beeping non-stop, indicating so many missed notifications.

“Whoa! Who would be calling me so many times?”

I check my notifications and see Kayden’s number on the notifications.

“Fifty missed calls?

Why would he call me so many times? What is so important that he had to call me fifty times?

Arrgh! Should I call him to find out what it’s about?

I check my messages. I see his name on the notification. He sent me one text message.

With a pounding heart I press to read the message.

It says…

“Am I too late? Did you make up your mind to be with Sullivan: Call me as soon as you get this message. I will wait until midnight. If you don’t call… I will assume that your answer is yes to both my questions.”

“What the hell does he want?”

My eyes involuntarily go to clock on the wall. It’s thirty minutes to midnight.This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .

I signal the bartender to give me another glass of margarita.

Four years ago, I desperately wanted Kayden to notice me. And now… he’s confusing the hell out of

What’s my answer to his questions?

Is he too late?

I don’t know.

Did I make up my mind to be with Ethan?

No. Not when he’s in deep conversation with the redhead he was previously dancing with.

Should I call Kayden now?

But why will I do that when he knocked up Megan?

But if I don’t call him, he’ll think I chose Ethan for good, when I didn’t.

Da*n it! I’m so confused!

I drink my margarita straight up. Perhaps, if I get a little bit drunk, I’d know the answer.

As soon as I finished my drink, someone pushes another one in front of me.

“I’m sorry, I don’t…”

I look up and find a good-looking guy with blond hair and gray eyes smiling down at me. He looks oddly familiar, like I’ve seen him before.

“Hello there,” he says.

He has a smirk on his face like he knows I’m trying to place him somewhere.

“Sorry, do I know you?” I ask.

He chuckles and leans in closer, his eyes twinkling with mischief

“Depends,” he says with a smirk.

“Depends on what?” I frown.

“On what you remember

That’s the problem.” I admit. “I feel like I’ve seen you somewhere, but then I can’t remember you.”

“It hasn’t been that long, has it?” he asks. “The fi

Then it finally clicks in my brain. This is the guy that I met at the lobby of that hotel. That night I et up in Kayden’s hotel room.

“You’re Glenn, aren’t you?”

“I’m not,” he snorts. He drinks his beer straight up and then he begins to leave.

As I watch him leave, I remember that he may have something to do with how I ended up in Kay

Then there’s something else familiar about him. Something recent.

“Hey wait!” I call out to him.

I follow him to the exit, and catches him in the lobby.

“You!” I say.

He turns around. It seems that smirk is permanently pasted on his face.

“You_ drugged me, didn’t you? And you carried me to Kayden’s room that night many years

“Did 1?” he asks nonchalantly.

“And I feel I’ve seen you recently, too. I just can’t remember.”

I rock my brain, trying to remember him and place-him.

Just then, something else clicks. The hospital. I’ve seen him in the hospital. He’s the one….

“You… you visited me in the hospital, didn’t you?”

This time, he frowns. “Awww.. you aren’t supposed to remember that. I didn’t want to do this.”

“Do what?”

that night.

And without warning, he covers my face with a handkerchief. I struggle against his arms, but soon, everything else fades…
