Mark POV

I watched as the ribbon fell to the floor. The crowd cheered and I raised my hand as a signal of thanks. I smiled for the camera as the paparazzi snapped a photo of me.

Tonight was the grand opening of my new restaurant. Yes I'm a restaurant owner. I always had a thing for food especially that soul food. Which is what my restaurant is based on.

My restaurant was named Destiny's Mark. I named it that mostly because of her. A month before everything happened we had a talk about me opening a restaurant. She was so excited about it.
I sighed.

It's been a year since everything happened. It's been a year since I found her on the floor face down in her own blood. Then four days later she disappeared on me. Two months after she disappeared I seen a magazine with her on the front page. The headline read "Rising up". Just thinking about her hurts my heart. Literally. Lately I've been having chest pains. I think it's from a broken heart.

I miss her dearly but like how people say. You gotta move on. Well I that's what I did. Who am I kidding. If she was here I would probably fall under her spell. I would take her and lock her in cage. I probably make her marry me. I smiled at my thought.

"May all you enter and enjoy." I said to the lovely crowd.

Bayden POV

I chased her around the coffee table. My beautiful baby girl. She giggled as I grabbed her up. Her laugh made my soul just a little more brighter. I kissed her forehead as I held her in my arms. She looks like a girl version of me. I was thankful for her. She was the reason why I woke up in the morning. She kept me going in this cold world. She even the reason why I put up with the wicked witch of the west. Also known as her mother Shauna.

Shauna thought that her having my baby would make me want to take her back. Which I laughed at. She really thought that I would go back to her. I went through hell when I was married to her. I wouldn't dare go back.

I shook my head. I kissed my daughters head again as I looked into her eyes. Her eye lids looked as if they were getting heavy. I rocked her slowly and they finally closed. Laying her down on the couch I sighed.

My heart was with my daughter but also with my true love. It's been a year since I last saw her. I read the headlines about her last night. It's very surprising. She acts as if nothing ever happened. So I guess everyone just follows suit. Speak of the devil.

I turned my head towards the TV and see one of her previews for her new show come on. The show actually looks good. It's called Stardom. She's the lead actress. I might just tune.

Everything changed that night after she was in the hospital. She apologized to everyone when she woke up from her surgery. We thanked God for keeping her alive. She acted normal for the first three days. On the fourth day when we came to visit her. She was gone. The nurse told us she left letters for all of us. We were all upset expect Jen. She was the happiest. She told us that Eva explained everything to her and that she has a number to contact her. She's the only one who has her number. In my letter I just got a bunch of apologies.

She told me that she understood why I didn't want to be in a relationship with her at this point. She understood that I wanted to get use to being a dad before I took on anything else. I know I should be grateful but I'm not. I still want her to be mine even though I pushed her away into my best friend arms. I mean ex best friend.

Jen POV

"Mommas coming sweet heart." I yelled. My son Fredrick was crying his lungs out. I was in the kitchen making him a bottle. Being a mom is a lot of work. Shaken his bottle I walked over to him.
