This was such a happy moment for the three of us.
We were sitting in the passenger seat of one of Don's car with Suzy in between Rose and I.
“I'm so happy to see my new house. I still can't believe you got rich overnight.” Suzy said excitedly, although her tone was still weak and tired.
“I'm also happy to move in to a new house.” Rose turned to me. “Gosh girl, I'm so happy, thank you.”
“No, thank you for agreeing to stay with her while I'm on the stupid honeymoon.”
“Are you kidding? You'll be going to Australia," she made it sound like the biggest opportunity ever.
"You've never been out of America, infact out of New York and you'll be going to a new country," a chortle, before, "if I were you, I'd be elated.”
I just scoffed, “you don't understand.”
The car came to a halt in front of a very beautiful mansion.
A bodyguard suddenly appeared from a corner, scurrying towards us to open the door.
I got out first, followed by Suzy then Rose.
“Wow.” Rose and Suzy's jaw dropped at the sight of the breath-taking mansion.
It wasn't as huge as the one I lived in with Don, but it was obviously massive.
“Is this where I'll be living?” Suzy sauntered towards the door, and we followed her.
A bodyguard opened the door for her, which she replied with a, “thank you.”
The three of us headed in, awed by the extreme beauty of it.
It had similar interiors to the one I lived in with cream colored and obviously expensive couches.
“Wow!” Rose exclaimed, running round the parlor. “This is amazing! It smells so nice.”
I chuckled, turning to Suzy whose eyes had turned tear-filled, only transforming my smile to worry.
I held both her shoulders, turning her to me, before asking, “what's wrong? Are you okay?”
Rose seemed to notice, because she scurried her way to us, “what's up with you?” Her tone was laced with worry.
Suzy sniffed in, stopping the tears from landing on her cheeks with the back of her palm.
She offered me a small smile. “It's just— this is the life mom would have wanted us to live.”
Then sobbings followed her words, causing tears to well in my eyes.
When I turned to Rose, she was also crying. “My parents also wanted nothing but for me to live this life.”
With that, she wrapped us both in her arms and the three of us just cried in one another's arms.

It was late, but I was standing in the garden of Don's house I didn't know existed, just thinking about all Suzy said.
She was right, mom would have been so happy if she were to find out we're living a happy life.
“Are you alright?” Hane's voice interrupted my thoughts, startling me to involuntarily turn to notice her standing behind me dressed in a purple pyjamas.
“Huh? Oh yeah I'm fine.” I forced a smile.
“Are you sure? You can always tell me if you have anything in mind.”
“I'm okay, seriously," I insisted, "you should go to bed.”
“Okay then, I guess I'll leave you alone.” A yawn let me know she was sleepy, but obviously wanted to do her job by checking on me.
Seeming satisfied enough, she turned around, disappearing out of sight.
While I just continued my thinking.
I missed mom so much and wished she could have lived to see me live a wealthy life.
I would certainly have made sure she got the best things of life.
She'd have everything she wanted.
My attention caught sight of Don moving towards me.
He stopped at a comfortable gap between us, staring at my stumped face.
“Why are you out here alone?” His voice still had that cold edge in it.
“Nothing, I just want to think. You don't have to worry about anything.” Not that I expected him to worry.
“I think you should have a good night sleep since we'll be traveling tomorrow," he reminded.
Obviously that was all he'd care about.
“Yes, okay.”
Maybe it was because of his presence or because I'd been thinking about my mom for a long time, I found tears rolling down my cheeks.
He stared at me in a mixture of bewilderment and worry, before seeming snapped enough to ask, “are you okay?”
“Yes, actually no.” I guess I couldn't keep it in my mind forever.
The best way to relieve yourself from whatever's bothering you is to talk to someone, right?
“Today when I took Suzy to her new house, she'd said something that caught my heart.” I was trying to clean the tears with my fingers but they just wouldn't stop flowing.
“What did she say?”
“She had said that my mother would've been happy to see us live such a happy life and—and she's right, mom would've been so happy.”
Out of embarrassment of actually crying so much I'm front of him, my gaze was focused to the ground.
There was silence for a few seconds like he was contemplating what to say.
But no words came.
Instead, he wrapped his right hand around my ponytailed hair and the second round my back pulling me to rest my head on his chest where I sobbed on.
I could feel my tears soaking his shirt but they just wouldn't stop flowing.
The feeling of his hand around my back sent sparks to that area.
His touch made a snake of desire run down my spine.
My body felt hot at his touch, that I found myself yearning for more than just the hug, I wanted to run my hand through his body.
I hated myself for feeling such desire but it came anyways.
Occupied by the lustful, I wasn't even aware when the tears had stopped.
Not until he removed his hand from my hair, placing it on my chin to tilt my head upward to him.
Before I could say anything, he pressed his lips against mine.
Oh the pleasure.
It made the snake transport from my spine down to my core.
My whole body wanted more, it desired for more but I couldn't move, just allowed his mouth savour mine.
What is going on? What am I doing? Have I gone mad or something? I know nothing about this dude and I'm just kissing him like some crazy girl.
Snapping back to reality, I pulled apart, staring at him with widened eyes.
The words were gone somewhere due to how surprised my entire body was.
He just kissed me and I'd enjoyed it.
Without second thoughts, I scuttled past him as fast as my short legs would go towards the house.
What have I done? Gosh I'm so stupid.
