Three months later (don't kill me lmao,I had to do one of these)

I'm slowly healing....No I'm not it's a lie,if anything, I'm more miserable that I have ever been.

Richardo found out about me running away with Austin, Carlos took his time on telling him since he didn't want to make him more miserable but that only made it worse, Richardo is now trying to do everything he can just to find me and get me back home,like he's forgetting he's the one that married my best friend,how is she even letting this happen? Isn't she supposed to be mad about her husband chasing another woman....His one and only soulmate?

I'm also seven months pregnant and I look like a DUMPSTER....A DUMPSTER, my stomach is huge,my legs hurt and I eat like I didn't see food in a year, that's not even the worse part, I'm mad all the time and everything is frustrating me,plus I'm starting to find Austin attractive, it's horrible I know,but I can't help it.

Austin and I also started planning our next move, it's been tricky but we decided to order Richardo's stuff under fake names since Austin's grandfather left him a whole warehouse to run and turns out, Austin has been running his own business for two years without Richardo knowing,he hated doing it by himself but now apparently me being here with him is giving him more energy, either that or he's eager to get back at Richardo.

"So this is my name now?"I ask while looking at the paper in front of me.

Celeste Armani....That's a celebrity like name,why does he have to be so extra?

"Got that right sugar and the order will be under your name since he never had a female buyer,this will twist his mind"Austin says and puts a big black binder in front of me,the name Celeste carved into it.

"This is all the information he will know about you,I added some pictures of him that Carlos took"I open the binder and I swear I felt my damn uterus turn,a picture of him leaning on the balcony fence, shirtless and smoking,his face just like I remember it being,cold and serious,his hair slicked back,this man looks even better than before.

"Damnit"I say getting up, startling Austin.

"Damn woman,ever since you started growing you have been walking around the house frustrated"He says and I shoot him a deadly glare.

"You calling me fat? Are you calling me fat while you look like a turtle with that neck of yours?"He gasps dramatically.

"Oh no you didn't,you know damn well I have a good looking neck, ladies love to have their arms around it"He says with a devilish smirk, making me snort in annoyance.

"What ladies? The cook? She's already one foot in the grave but It's good, I understand you need a sugar mommy"I say and walk towards the exit when I hear him say.

"Don't blame me for your hormones,just take the damn picture of Richardo and go talk to it, it's not like you are getting over him anytime soon''I ignore him and storm out,fumming in rage.

Of course I'm getting over him,it can't just happen overnight,at least I'm not listening to depressive podcasts before sleep like he is, acting like a fifteen year old teenager.

I walks outside in the garden and see Ariel making flower crowns on the bench.

"Hi sunshine, watcha doing? Being pretty?"I ask with a smile on my face,she laughs and lifts up a daisy crown, putting it on her head.

"I'm making crowns for my birthday,I made you one too"I sit next to her and she puts the crown on my head,a proud smile forming on her lips.

"I'm so talented,I made it in less than six minutes and twenty-three seconds"She says and steps back, observing the masterpiece she made.

Her confidence and intelligence has been increasing insanely,she even started to read novels....Did I mention she's about to be seven soon? Soon as in tommorow? And she can already read,play chess,do ballet and I'm pretty sure she knows how to make more food than I do, all that from watching YouTube with her while crying over Richardo and eating ice cream.

I'm making a small gathering for her birthday,just friends from school and some of the people Austin is friends with,since this is her first birthday party ever I want it to be special.And it's also a first birthday party since I legally adopted her, that's right,we called Richardo's cousin and Austin made it happen,he even convinced the cousin to somehow get Richardo's signature on the documents so he's officially Ariel's father....It was sketchy business but I don't go much into it, I'm just happy I adopted her.

"Umm,will daddy be here on my birthday?"She asks while picking out the flowers,I clear my throat and smile.

"He's really busy you know? And this whole situation is very confusing but I'm sure he would love to come ".

"He really would"A female voice says,I turn around and my eyes widen.

"Monica,what the hell are you doing here?"
