Tóm tắt

Childhood crush grows into a blossoming adult romance for Darren and Erin. Though they are expecting their own child, a power tripping politician threatens to derail their love in a web of deceit, threats and an arranged marriage to his own pregnant teen daughter. Will their love be able to survive?

Chapter 1Well... crap

Tapping the testing device against the palm of my hand, more out of nervousness than impatience, I found myself pleading against biology. 'Please don't have two lines, please just one. Not two, not two.' I held a breath to look at the windowed device. 'Well, shit, Erin. That didn't even take the full amount of time.' I knew what the outcome would be beforehand, of course. It had been nearly two months since that weekend with Darren and I have already missed two periods. I'm not ignorant in the ways of procreation and lots of girls get pregnant their first time; or seventh as the case may be, so it really wasn't a surprise at all. The problem was how on earth was I going to tell my parents? My classmates and coworkers will be all to happy that their 'goody-two-shoes' friend got herself knocked up. But how am I to explain a pregnancy to my rather devout Christian parents when they think I'm a good little virgin waiting for marriage and completely single, as in not dating anyone, nor am I really interested in anyone at the moment. Okay, that's a lie, obviously; but I can't be with him. Why? Because he is getting married, I mean GOT married. 'Geesh, Erin, Get that through your head!' Married. He's already married. ugh!

That's right, married. And not to me, clearly. He, at the ripe old age of twenty-four, is now married to the sixteen-year-old daughter of the governor! Grr. And he said I was too young for him once upon a time! At least I'm legal now. Oh, I guess she's actually seventeen now, but still, talk about cradle robbing. I know, it's a long story, but I'll get into that later.

My family and I, having received and RSVPed to the invitation to what was supposed to be his wedding, but now is his wife's baby shower, are packing for the trip. Yes, I said baby shower. I can't honestly say I really want to go. Just the thought of seeing that young, round bellied stranger hanging off the arm of my Darren... well, not 'my' obviously. Ugh. This is just so stupid! Yes, I knew he was engaged at the time we had our little interlude, but that was kind the reason it happened in the first place. Pretty messed up huh?

One Wild Night

Lucinda Perry, a social recluse and a workaholic, makes a pledge to herself to go all wild on her twenty-fifth birthday and even score a one night stand if she gets her long deserved promotion at work. Few days to her twenty-fifth birthday, she gets promoted to not just a higher position but to the head office in a different city. Having to spend her birthday night in a new city, she goes to the club where she meets a very handsome stranger, Thomas Hank, who offers to be her one night stand after catching a glimpse of her dare-to-do list, which included having a one night stand. Thomas Hank, after having been used by several ladies in the past, is bent on getting the lady of his dreams who would love him for himself and not his wealth. So when he meets the cute and naive Lucinda Perry at the club, he decides to keep his true identity from her and find out if she was worth keeping. ***Excerpt*** What is more entertaining than a crazy side character? Say hello to Sonia and Bryan. Sonia's heart stopped beating for a second, and then different thoughts started flying right through her head at that same time. Bryan Hank? Her celebrity crush was kneeling right in front of her and asking her to be his wife? Was he mistaking her for someone? Was it possible this was a skit, or maybe this was like one of those celebrity pranks, and there were cameras around, waiting to capture her make a fool of herself? Or perhaps she was dreaming? Sonia wondered as she looked around them, but all she saw were curious onlookers. "Please! Be my wife and make me the happiest man on Earth," He said in a very loud voice that caught the attention of everyone. Her editor who she had been waiting on for over an hour because he was trying to sign a deal with a movie producer who was interested in one of her stories, showed up at that moment, "Sonia, you know Bryan Hank?" Her editor asked in genuine surprise as he watched the scene before him. It seemed like an hour had passed since Bryan went on his knees, but it had only been a minute. Bryan knew no lady would be crazy enough to accept such a crazy proposal, and even if any were, paying her off and calling off the whole thing would be easy since all he wanted was the scandal that could come from this. The headlines were either going to be about his rejected Marriage proposal or his supposed engagement, which would be enough to let Sophia off the hook. "Yes!" Sonia said as she bobbed her head excitedly and extended her finger for him to wear her the ring. "Yes?" Bryan asked in confusion when he heard her response. "Yes! I will be your wife and make you the happiest man in the world!" Sonia said with a giggle and wiggled her fingers until Bryan slid the ring down her finger. Surprisingly the ring was her exact size, and it sat on her finger like it was made just for her. The sound of applause erupted all around them as Sonia stood up with a big smile on her face and embraced Bryan before kissing him right on the lips. Bryan was slightly taken aback by her boldness but quickly recovered since this was his game, and he had to play along. He was the one who had approached her first, after all. So when she tried to break the kiss, he held her chin and slowly nibbled on her lower lip before parting her lips with his tongue and sucked on it in a teasing manner, eliciting a moan from Sonia. Sonia felt light-headed. This was too good to be true. It just had to be a dream. How else could she explain that one moment she was seated at the lobby of a hotel waiting for her editor, and the next she was engaged to her celebrity crush and was kissing him right here in the open?

Win My Husband Over to Find My Child

Witty FL x Adorkable ML + a cute bun + a talking crochet fox ---------- After the sudden death of her boyfriend, Leslie Song has been single-handedly raising her precious little daughter Calliope. It’s a difficult life, but it’s a happy one. A freak accident puts an end to that. As Leslie lies dying on the road, watching Calliope breathe her last, she curses her helplessness. Calliope’s crochet fox seems to hear her. It opens its mouth and asks, “Do you want to see your daughter again? If so, follow me. Her soul has already left for another world.” Leslie agrees. That’s the last thing she remembers before losing consciousness. When she opens her eyes again, she finds herself—or rather, her soul—standing beside her unconscious body on a hospital bed. “How is this supposed to help me find Calliope!” she exclaims. “This is not your body. Your body is dead. This is my original host, Charlene Li,” explains the toy fox. “You can possess her body to find Calliope, but if you do, you must finish her uncompleted mission for her.” “And what mission is that?” “To marry the second most eligible CEO in the city.” ‘This,’ Leslie concludes, ‘is a scam.’ But she has no other choice. ********** Meanwhile, the second most eligible bachelor in the city, Calix Xu, is patting himself on the back for thwarting his grandmother’s attempts to marry him off. After exhausting all of his tricks and excuses, he has resorted to marrying the comatose daughter of the Li family. Calix smiles, pleased with himself, "Aren't I smart? Grandmother can do nothing now." But… why is he seeing his newly-wedded wife hovering beside her own body? Before he can react, his wife—the moving one—floats towards him. "Husband! Help me find my child!" “Your child?” Calix asks weakly before doing the only reasonable thing he can do in such a situation. He faints. ---------- WSA 2024 entry!
