Code Of Love

Sky
No one ever told me I should be prepared for my baby growing up. Just the other day I was changing her stinky diapers while she was giggling. Now she's 10 months old, she crawls around the floor and I swear she sometimes says mama.

Time has been great I guess. Anton has never found me although I believe he has and doesn't want to get involved with me anymore. Or maybe it's Grey's security protecting me after all.

I work for Vera still but I have gotten promoted twice. I'm still her personal assistant because she says she has come to trust me alone. And I'm also the head of shipping since she has expanded her business.

I've made a few friends although they all seem to be interested in my cute baby more than me. Now I can even take Jules to work. I don't know where she gets her calmness but she's really a calm child. I know she doesn't get it from me that's for sure.

People often ask about her eyes. Some ignore but most people are curious about her eyes. I just tell them it's genetics. It's easier than the long version which we all know by now.

"Ooh great you're here. So the prom dresses will be coming from the warehouse tonight and Vera has asked you to handle it. Sign all the papers and shit."

"Also, she's going to Italy soon so you'll be the big boss for three days." Natasha says. She's a designer and a friend. She says she's working on Jules' clothes and I should trust her so I do.

"Ooh no, I can't stay here past 7 because of Jules. Will the shipment come at the usual time?" I ask and she nods. I can't stay here until 10.

"Don't worry cloudy Sky, I'll handle it for you I promise. Now take this baby home already." And so I did. After giving her instructions on what to do and leave the papers for me to sign.

I moved out of the studio apartment. Now with a double pay, I can afford a very cute one bedroom for me and my baby. It's still expensive but I can handle that.

I get home and make dinner while Jules plays with her toys and mumbles away with the TV as background noise for both of us.

"And in other sports news. A close source has now confirmed that Ali Muhammad has officially been dropped out of the F1 races this year due to sexual assault allegations."

"On the 8th of December last year, Miss Carter filed charges against the racer after her best friends birthday where she says the racer assaulted her."

"For now we don't have any more information other than Ali has got himself the best lawyer in all Los Angeles, Ava Alison Cooper, his own half-sister which has raised so many questions about favorism."

What the fuck? I stopped cutting my vegetables and ran to my living room. On the screen was my sister Ava and my brother Ali trying to escape the paparazzi. What the fuck is this about.

I pull out my phone and search about it and see multiple articles about it. Some article even had the audacity of mentioning our asshole dad. Ooh poor Ali. He must be frightened like he was when his father brought him to the U.S.

He didn't know English, his whole life he knew his mom and step dad. Then some guy shows up and carries him away and brings him to a strange land. At first I was jealous of him clinging to Ava when I was trying to be friends with her.

But that was eons ago and we were kids but now I know better. I google Ava's name and see an office number and I'm tempted to call and look for her.

No! Sky, don't make this about you. This is about your brother. Ava will handle it. I know Ava would rather die than let anything happen to Ali. So he's in safe hands for now.

The next day at work all anyone could talk about was my brother. And it took all in me to not beat the hell out of them. Ava's mom may have destroyed my mother's life, but I would still beat anyone who talked ill of her and her kids.

"So don't freak out but I kinda mentioned Jules' birthday is coming up on May and the office will throw a party for her." Natasha said.

Maybe I should run away and go back to Los Angeles and talk to my friends and even my sister. I should check on her anyway. Last I checked on her she was avoiding a girl who was in love with her.

"Lemme think about it." I say. Maybe I should stay. What if they don't even need me. What if they look down on me. No, Ava would never do that. But it's been so long, maybe she changed.

I have decided after all to contact my friends. Maybe one of them knows the name of the guy I slept with. I'll start with Olivia obviously, because she is my best friend.

Tonight, tonight I will call Olivia after work. It is decided. So with that in mind I went back to work. This is the first time Vera has left me in charge but I'm glad she didn't make it hard for me.

"I don't know Jaz. I'm pretty scared of Adrik but his dad said we will get married so I'll hold onto that for now. Yes I know. I just have this bad feeling something will happen." A woman said in the next stall.

"No Jaz. I'm in McKinney at that wedding dress designer I showed you on insta. She's the best. Hey don't judge me for not wearing designer dresses? No Vera is a brand, not designer but a very famous one. I'll talk to you once I get back to Dallas. Love you too."

She walked out of her stall while I was washing my hands and stared at me with wide eyes. "You're Sky right?" She asks and I stare back at her.

"Sorry? Have we met?" I asked. "Yes. You were walking out of my fiance's penthouse after he fucked you." Wow, such a bold mouth.

"I fuck lots of fiance's so be specific which one is yours." I don't know why I said that. "Adrik's been looking for you all over. For almost two years now. But he's marrying me so he must have given up on you." She said with a smirk on her face. Who the fuck is Adrik?

"I don't give a shit about Adrik. Did I sleep with him, maybe. It was one night and I'm pretty sure I didn't get off so yeah have a nice marriage." I said and walked out of the bathroom.

Who the hell is Adrik and why would he even be looking for me!
