"Thank you for saving me, gummy bear. I will repay you after all this is done," Carlton promised. "I have told you not to call me that again. I am now a woman," Stacy frowned deadpan to his face. She didn't like that Carlton could not acknowledge her as a woman, could not see her love for him, and could not decipher that she wasn't doing him but herself a favor. She married him because she wanted it! ********* Despite being aware that he was out of her league, Stacy had been in love with her elder brother's friend, Carlton, for a long time. She was determined to make him hers at all costs, without the knowledge of anyone around her. Unfortunately, Carlton's announcement of his marriage to another lady shattered her heart mercilessly. One thing led to another, and she was the one standing on the altar to say the vows as his wife without the knowledge of her family. It was to save him, and to save her desire too. However, he could never look at her with affection. Could not love her no matter how hard she tried, and could not fully accept her as his wife. And they ended up divorcing bitterly despite Stacy's pleas because he wanted it. His ex-girlfriend was back! Picking her life from scratch after a stormy divorce, a miserable lady who became a Certified Physiotherapist is finally healing from disownment from everyone. Stacy Hall had now become the most sought-after. ********** "My heart is broken, Stacy. I have not been able to breathe since you left," He begged with tears. "Mr. Howard. My job is to fix broken bones, not hearts," Stacy replied to him curtly.
View More"Would you like to have breakfast with me?" Carlton asked Stacy after she arrived at his place, with a glint of deep fondness dancing in his eyes for her. "Hmnn. What is for breakfast?" Stacy asked, trying hard to control the broad grin that stuck stubbornly to her lips whenever she looked at Carlton. She looked so endearing as she saw him appear before her, and she seriously wanted to bury her face in his face if possible. "I don't know yet. I am planning to make it," he answered, his eyes mirroring determination. "What? Where is the housekeeper?" Stacy asked, as the thin line of her eyebrows jumped in surprise. "The housekeeper is on a break," he answered, almost chuckling at the cute expression that was scribbled on her face. "On a break? How will you navigate around the things she does then?" Stacy asked again in further surprise, wondering why he was grinning so blissfully. "I can do a few by myself anyway. Gone were the times I couldn't move around," he answered, walking to
Nadia had been sitting at the dining table for minutes after she had gotten home and changed, staring at the bowl of fruit that she had cut, unable to eat it. She had been feeling so exhausted with her thoughts and feeling emotionally drained, her mind ruminating over and over about how she was garbage, meant to be tossed hopelessly by people. Though something in her other mind had tried to refute the admission of such about herself, her brain had strongly processed the self-sabotage it wanted to believe.She had been trying to feel better and improve her mood. She had no idea what to do to make herself feel better, making continuing her ongoing book even harder. She had no one to talk to, no family to confide in, and could not tell the only friend she had. She was just sad on her own. Worst of all was that she didn't even know how to make herself happy and get over the negativity that she had been feeding herself with. "Sweetheart," Stacy called out as soon as she entered with a
"Should I apologize for what happened?" Carlton asked Stacy after she arrived, a few hours later than her usual hours because she was called in by the hospital. He had observed that she didn't seem to be in a very good mood when she entered, and had been struggling to keep up with her usual collected demeanor. She was obviously bothered by something. "No. No, don't," Stacy almost stuttered upon her words, deeply bothered by the encounter that she had with Marilyn earlier that morning, that all the excitement and enthusiasm she had towards seeing Carlton had been extinguished. Though enamored by this good-looking man that was standing before her, Stacy could not help but wander and bother endlessly about everything that had been on in her office, and Marilyn's words. 'What did she mean that she had something important to tell him? And that she was going to get him back? What was going on?' Stacy bothered again, still unable to get the scenario out of her head. 'Maybe she should tel
The Wilson family mansion was huge and opulent, so fancy that every single interior and exterior design of the house screamed great luxury. The plush appearance was not excluded of all of their workers, donned in perfect silk uniforms of great quality and working endlessly to meet their job quota for the day. And for the first time in a long while, they saw the young master of the house, Liam, visiting his parents. Ever since he left home to study medicine and fell in love with his education, it had been so hard to see him around except on rare occasions. However, it was not a special day, and yet he had visited and was having lunch with his parents in their deluxe living room where everything looked perfect. Though the table was long and large enough to fit twelve people, only three were seated around the table closely to one another, eating almost in silence. His father, Austin Wilson, the owner of WILLAND hospital, and his mother, Tracy Cheng, the foundation director, were sitti
Stacy was on her way to Brown's office as requested by him, and it wasn't just like any other day that she had to go to the hospital and meet the most obnoxious colleagues ever. It was the day after her sweet unplanned evening kiss with Carlton, and just a few hours ago. As she sauntered elegantly through the hallway that led to the office she was going to, and her eyes sparkled with delight the more her mind traveled back to the tender kiss she had shared with him. The memory played in her mind many times and lingered like a sweet melody in her heart, with a soft giggle escaping her lips. 'You must be crazy already!' Stacy scolded herself with a broad grin, as she finally stopped in front of where she was going, and took a deep breath before entering. Coming out of Brown's office, she was informed by him that a client had specially paid for her services and requested to see her. She agreed to take consultations with the client that day before agreeing to personal treatments, and s
"We are going to do all of this today?" Carlton asked Stacy in surprise, when he picked up the pad and pen that was resting on the front passenger seat when he wanted to enter. She suggested they take her car so as not to get attention from anyone, and waited for him to go and change his clothes after a routine checkup. "No!" Stacy snapped sharply when she saw him holding her journal, and snatched it away from him before he could even take another glance. "I wasn't looking at it," he teased with a broad grin, and she rolled her eyes cutely as she strapped her seat belt around her as she ignited the car, "Where are we going?" He further asked. "We are going to see a movie scheduled for this afternoon," she told him, as she navigated the car and pressed on the brakes to increase the car's speed even before Carlton could say any further. Both of them walked into the luxurious movie theater to comfortably rest in their reserved bed area, while waiting for the movie to start playing.
Stacy bit her lips in guilt as she strode elegantly into Carlton's large living room upon arrival, with her eyes roaming every corner from where she stood, looking for him to pop from some corner into the living room. Since he stopped using his wheelchair, she stopped seeing him come from the stairs which lead to his room. He was always everywhere. "Hi, Mr. Howard," Stacy flashed a sweet smile at Carlton the moment she saw him appear from the wine cellar hallway, while remaining as classy as she should always be. Though he was her client, she allowed her anger to get the best of her and was rude to him. She didn't like the after feeling of it, and she wanted to make sure that there was going to be no tension around them all day. Taken aback by her cheerful demeanor considering how they parted the previous day, Carlton struggled with doubt in his mind of what she could be thinking, as he strutted a little close to where she was, "Hi, Doctor," he responded with the same vitality, a sm
"You do not seem to be in a good mood, Doctor Stacy," Ryan noticed as Zoe made her way into his house, even if she tried hard to keep a straight and cool face when she entered."Just feeling under the weather," she answered through her teeth, as she made her way to his living room to comfortably take a seat. "I am a psychiatrist, you know. And you certainly do not look like you are just under the weather," Ryan speculated with a demure grin crossing his lips, while looking at her to see if she would give up on trying to conceal her anger. "Argh! Fine!" Stacy groaned and rolled her eyes, "I had an argument with someone," she conceded, and took her seat. "And it looks like you just had a lover's quarrel," Ryan added again, as he carefully made his way to his cabinet to bring out all sorts of cookies that Stacy might like. "What? No!" Stacy's eyebrows scrunched up, as she retorted instantly, her mind flashing back to the person she was still so pissed at. 'She didn't even know why s
Stacy was in a good mood as she drove to Carlton's house, because her investment had quadrupled its price on the stock market that morning. To make the news more exhilarating, she also figured out that the prices of her estate properties have doubled. She couldn't stop grinning till she went into his house.The memories of what happened in the dining room came back to her mind as soon as she set her eyes on the dining room, and she got lost in her thoughts for a few minutes while imagining what would have happened if Carlton had crossed the boundary. "Morning, Doctor," Carlton's husky voice distracted Stacy from the direction she was looking in, as she turned her face to his direction so sharply. He was walking down the grand stairs in his mansion with calculated steps, and a warm smile split his lips as he maintained eye contact with her. Seeing him walking down the stairs to her and not in his chair, made Stacy's heart flutter with so much happiness that it resonated deep down her
