You will not see Apollo again if you press on this divorce. I wanted
to tell you in person,” he declared. I pushed him from me as he was too close for liking. I glared at him one more time and left the
restaurant.

I screamed when I entered my car. Would Maybin do that to me? To his son? I couldn’t imagine life without Apollo. I needed to think of something to keep the boy in my life. I will discuss this with my lawyers and brother about this matter. Apollo was very important to
me.
I got my phone and dialed his number. He didn’t answer immediately.
I tried again, and when he answered, his voice broke my heart.

Hello, Zey,”

“Apollo,” I breathed. “How are you, my love?”
“I’m alright. I’m back home now,”
Back home, schools weren’t closed yet.
Why are you back?” I asked.
Dad just got me. He says I will start going to school here,” he said.
That mother f ucking ba stard! He was using him to get me back!

Lissar told me that you won’t be seeing me after the divorce is finalized… That you don’t care about me anymore,”
I will deal with that b itch later. Of course, she would want to turpm against me. I won’t let that happen.
Apollo, I love you, and whatever happens between your Dad a has nothing to do with you. I will always be here for you,” I said
sternly.
“I want to stay with you, Zey,” he choked. My heart tightened when sniffed, and tears filled my eyes. Poor kid had a mother who did care about him and a self-centered father! After speaking to Apollo,
went home.
I was home in ten minutes, but to my disappointment, I found Lui left.

I lay in bed after a shower and grabbed my phone. I texted Luis. He might not see it tonight.
[ Imagine my bummer when I found you were gone] I hit send. My phone lit up, and I was quick to open it.
[Witch… You’re back]
[Yes]
[I had an emergency… Work-related, don’t be jealous] he said. Was he teasing me right now?
[ I wish you were here] I said. I knew that we still had a lot to discuss… And there was Vanessa in the picture. I promised myself that if we went on our date, and he didn’t give me a valid reason to be with him, I would end everything with him. I won’t be his side woman. For now, I am having fun with it. It was innocent.
[ Really. You know Cay and Lara call me Uncle Genie. Maybe if you make a wish, I might appear in your bedroom]
I closed my eyes and made a wish. I felt childish for doing that. I didn’t know what I was expecting out of this. I opened my eyes and didn’t find him in my room. I frowned.
[ Liar] I texted him. Ding. I heard the sound of a phone, but it wa mine. I sat upright, and my lips broke into a full-blown smile wh saw him standing on my balcony.
Genie!” I jumped from the bed and wrapped my arms around him. chuckled and embraced me.

She’s Getting Married
Ellis
My heart was heavy knowing that Love was going out with David. I tried to distract myself with the kids, but it was still difficult.
Dad, I love your house so much!” Cayden said. I smiled every time he called me Dad. It didn’t get old.
Once you’re eighteen, it is yours,” I promised, and he cheered.
Did you hear that Lara? This is my house,”
My little princess frowned from my lap and glared up at me.
“Why does he get a house in the sky and not me,” she pouted innocently. I kissed her tiny nose, her mom’s nose.
Because you get a castle. You’re my princess, baby,” I told her, and she smiled, sticking out her tongue to her brother.
I went to the kitchen to prepare food for the kids. I could have just ordered, but Love didn’t like that. She was strict with their diet. I prepared pasta and a bowl of delicious salad. I took a look at my phone, hoping to see a text from Love, but there was nothing. Shoul call her? I missed her already. F uck. I was crazy in love. I didn’t te her. She was ending things with David. I hoped they could end thing amicably and quickly.
I heard giggles from the lounge, and I went over there. Cayden and Solara were playing tug in the lounge.
We happily ate and played games afterward. I was glancing at my phone from time to time. Hoping Love will call soon.
Cayden lost a tooth, and we put it under the pillow. They planned to

stay up all night to catch the tooth fairy, but I knew they would fall asleep soon since they were tired, and I was right. I put a 100-dollar mote under his pillow and went to tidy up the kitchen, as I did. My phone rang, and my heart raced as I answered it.
Hi, baby,” That felt f ucking so good calling her that. I could hear Love’s pounding heart as she said,
Hey. How’s everything going?” she sounded tired.
We are all good here. How did it go? Did you end things with David?” I was eager to find out. I wanted to start anew with the love of my life. Our happily ever after.

No, something happened, but I will end things I promise,” she said. I stayed silent for a moment. What could have happened that she
didn’t? a

Love why didn’t you?” My voice sounded hostile, only because I hated that things didn’t go as planned.
I’ll tell you why tomorrow. I’m tired,” she yawned.
Okay,”
Please kiss the twins goodnight for me. I miss them so much,” she said. She wasn’t used to not seeing them in the house.
“I know you miss them, and I’ll give them kisses from you,” I told h

Wait, no kisses for me?”
“No,”

But why, babe,”
Because I don’t want to kiss you, sir,” her voice was playful.

Okay. Kisses for you, big baby,” she giggled. Her laughter went straight to warm my heart. Love had a kind of laughter that made you smile.
Sleep well, I’ll see you tomorrow,”

“Okay,”
I went to bed with a smile on my face.
The following morning, I woke up to my children’s giggles. It felt surreal that they were in my house. When I reached the living area, I was surprised to see my family here
My kids came out from their grandmother’s side and hugged me. I
kissed them.
“Good morning,” I greeted them.

What are you all doing here?” I asked.
“Well, when CC heard the kids were here, she wanted to come,” Melody answered.
And what are you all doing here?” I asked, looking at Zeyneb, Seumo, and Melody.
Well, she carried both chefs,” Zeyneb answered, pointing to the
kitchen. Two chefs and Gina were busy making breakfast.
Ellis, why didn’t you tell me they were spending the night here? Y guys could have slept at the Estate,” CC said.
Because this is my home, and I just wanted this time alone with them,” I answered. Grandmother rolled her eyes and walked away upstairs to my study. She needed to make a phone call.
We were talking when Charlotte suddenly entered. She ran towards me, trying to embrace me, and kissed my lips. I took her arms away

and averted her face.

What the f uck are you doing here?” I asked with irritation. What the f uck was wrong with this woman? Did she have no comprehension of
