A MONTH ON.Zoey's PovStaring at myself in the mirror. I look so beautiful in my simple fitted wedding dress, and the flower bouquet on the dressing table. Today is finally the day I've been waiting for. Rowan thought it wise to let me recover after a month, then we will wed. We've been preparing for the wedding, with the help of my loved ones.Now, in a few minutes I will be joined forever with him. I am so happy and scared at the same time, I really do not want things to go bad like the last time. Knock!Knock!"Come in." I said, gazing at the door through the mirror.The door went open and Emma came in, all dressed like my chief bridesmaid. She stood at the door for a while, her eyes on mine through the mirror as she made her way to me.I stood up to face her. She looked at me from head to toe, like she's checking me out. Then she gave me this heart warming smile with teary eyes, now she's being so emotional."I didn't know you could be so emotional all the time." I teased, tryi
Zoey's Pov"Hey Emma. I'm so sorry for calling you up, I know you must be busy with some work but I need your help." I said over the phone to my best friend and housemate, Emma.It's my fiance Julian's birthday. I already brought him a cake, but am lost on what else to add to it. Am not that good at buying gifts for males. Emma is an expert since she's been in a couple of relationships, while Julian is my first love and first date."Seriously, Zoey? You've been with Julian for two years now, and you still don't have any idea how to buy gifts for a male?" Emma said, making me roll my eyes.Am not ready for her lecture now. Yeah, me and Julian have been dating for close to two years now. And he just engaged me last month, but I am still terrible at buying gifts for male. Not to talk more about my fiance."Are you helping out or not?" I asked, and I could swear she rolled her eyes at me."Where are you now?" She asked."I'm in front of a mall, I just got out after buying the cake." I tol
Zoey's PovSome sort of bright light shone through my eyelids, I groaned and tried to hide away from the bright lights. I snuggled into something hard, which is weird. I don't recall my pillow being hard. Plus, my body is restricted by something so heavy like my lungs are crying out to be free.I slowly opened my eyes, but I was met with a body which got me confused. Emma doesn't have such a manly figure. I looked up, my eyes went wide when I saw a peaceful sleeping guy. I jolted up and out of his grip that I didn't know I was in.Who is this guy?!And what is he doing on my bed?!Wait, I can't recall going home last night. I looked around to meet unfamiliar surroundings, and came back to myself.Holy shit!Am naked under the duvet!What the fuck happened?!So me and this guy actually…nah, it can't be! But how can I be naked next to a stranger that is completely naked?!How did all these even happen?!I tried recalling all that happened last after I left Julian's place. I went to the
Zoey's PovThese past few weeks have been really stressful for me, both physically and mentally. Sometimes I feel like I'm losing my mind, and my life is a mess. Heartbreak is really the worst, I give salutes to all those women out there who have dealt with countless heartbreaks.Julian kept calling me, wanting to sort things out. But I ignored all his calls, and texts. One day he showed up on my doorstep, I gave him an earful and it gave me the courage to throw his engagement ring to his face, and called off our relationship for good.I felt more broken on that day, but Emma comforted me and told me what I did was the best thing. Along with dealing with my heartbreak, I think I've fallen really sick. I've been feeling extremely tired these days, even when I don't stress much at work.I do have regular stomach cramps, thinking it could be my monthly flow but it's not. I find myself feeling so dizzy every now and then, and I happen to be sleeping a lot these days. And I threw up on eve
Zoey's PovIt's been two days now since I tried to kill my baby, the guilt still haunts me even when I have accepted to keep the baby. I think I'll pass through it some day, maybe when the baby arrives.Emma has really been helpful, mostly with her words of encouragement. She's planning to go for a business trip to Beverly Hills, LA with her company. She wished I could tag along, but I can't leave my job for a two week trip.My sick patients need me more."Do you think I should carry my bikini along?" Emma asked me.She had dragged me all the way from my room to hers, to help her select the clothes she will use for the trip which happens to be the day after tomorrow. I looked up from my laptop to look at her, she looked thoughtful.My friend can be crazy when it comes to going for trips like this."Take whatever you need, sweetie." I said, rolling my eyes and focusing back on the laptop."Okay, but should I take the sexy one?" She asked.I rolled my eyes, and looked at her. She is hol
Zoey's PovAfter Emma gave a knock twice, she opened the door and walked in. I exhaled before following her inside. I felt my tension raising up at the sight of him sitting there, relaxing into his chair at the desk."You may both take a seat." He offered, gesturing to the seats in front of his desk.He seemed calm in his voice, but his facial looks said a totally different thing. I and Emma both settled in the seats in front of his desk. I don't know, but I can't pull my gaze away from him.Maybe I'm expecting a reaction from him to indicate that he recalls me, but there was none.Or is he pretending not to recall me?"Who are you, and how can I help you?" He asked, resting his arm on his desk."You don't recall me?" I blurted out, staring straight into his eyes.I don't know what on this planet earth gave me such courage, but I think my curiosity did. Aside from that, it's hard to pull out of his gaze, like it's pulling me to it."No, I don't. So explain yourself for I have work to
Zoey's PovIt's been two weeks since our last encounter with that arrogant man, and Emma never brought up the topic like it never really happened, which I find very unlike her.Emma was done with her meeting, which they got the deal. After which we stayed a week, though we wanted to stay more but I had work to go back to or I'll be fired before I know it.Being pregnant isn't easy, it's barely a month gone and the baby is already giving me back cramps. And with a very huge appetite, Emma use to suffer it all when I cried out every evening for ice cream. She would rush down the street and get some for me."Don't blame me, it's all the baby's doing." I always used those words to save myself each time she glared at me."Hi Mr. Hart. How are you doing?" I asked a patient, while waiting to hear his response so I could document it in his folder.Mr. Hart is a diabetic patient, who had a cut on his leg. But due to the fact that he has diabetes, the wound refused to heal and rather made the cu
Zoey's PovI can't believe Rowan Weston called me, and he is in Central City LA, just to see me. Just the thought of that sends shivers down my spine.Am not sure why am feel that way!How did he get my number in the first place?!Well, like he said. He got contacts.Why does he want to see me outta the blue?!If he flew all the way to this place to try and offer me the same offer he made at his office, he will regret ever knowing me.Work hours were over, so I picked up my handbag and made my way outta the hospital to my car. I got in and placed my handbag at the passengers seat. I brought out my phone and quickly texted Emma that I'll home a bit late.I don't want to tell her I'll be meeting up with Rowan. I will first hear what he has to say, then I'll tell her. I started my car and made my way to the venue I texted him.Arriving at the cafe I texted him, I parked at the parking area which seemed empty which was really weird. All my years of knowing this cafe, it's parking area has
