BRIANNA'S POV THE FACT remained that I couldn't trust him, though with the way he sounded I had the feeling he was speaking the truth. I knocked at the door waiting for her to reply, I was in the mood to speak to just one person and that was her, as there was no one I could speak to at that moment. I didn't want to talk to my mother as I knew what she would say, I swallowed the lump in my throat. I didn’t know how I would tell her about everything, I knew that this throb in my heart would be worse than any physical pain if I trust him again but at the same time he had sounded genuine. She watched as I walked in, turning to look at me dropping her knitting set. "Brianna, how are you doing …how are you feeling now, hope you are feeling better now?" She asked. "I am, I just feel the need to talk to you." "What Is wrong with you?" She looked worried as she sat up. "Nothing much, I just want to get an advise from you." "Sure you can tell me anything what is making you worried?"
MICHELSON POV I WALKED into the room shutting the door with a quiet click behind me, careful not to make a noise, I could have sworn that I heard her talking to herself before I walked in but now she was I was confused about the fact that she was asleep or at least pretending to be asleep. Awareness brushed my skin from my head. I Walked out of the room earlier to clear my head. Also, I had some emails from my secretary to reply to without delay so as I got in and turned off the light switch again, I walked out of the room. I had one question on my mind centered around what I really wanted, though that was already answered. The fact that Paula had been calling me over the last couple of hours and I had been rejecting her calls was in a way making me rethink the entire situation. Out of the options in mind, I narrowed down the various ways I intended winning her over with. The thought of vacation and having our long awaited honeymoon came to my mind, but there was all uncertainty
BRIANNA'S POVI MUST had slept hungry, that would most definitely be the fact because I and woken up hungry the next, I couldn't remember how my sleep had gone– The last thing I could remember was the fact that I had pretended to be asleep when he had walked in and I guess it was convincing enough because he walked back out almost immediate, heavens knows where toA felt a sharp pain in my neck as I cracked my neck, my neck aches badly and I could guess I must have sprained it while curled up on my bed to sleep the previous night.Sunlight filtered into the room in bright rays, lighting up the room till it was almost a perfect picturesque. I could pick out every tiny particle in the air as it shone as though they were tiny gold dust.The scent of cooked grilled meat filled the atmosphere, reminding me that I had missed dinner and was now most probably hungry.My mouth watered as the smell of the grilled meatreaching my nose. I wondered if one of the maids was it again, but it was
CHAPTER 46MICHELSON POVI WALKED AWAY as far as possible to pick the call, I was confused on why she should be calling after everything I told her and to think that she had picked this time to call?I was furious as I barged away…I was going to give this woman a dress down on how to act properly."Why the hell are you calling at this moment?" I asked not hiding the fact that I was angry.She must had been surprised at how I sounded as I could hear it from her voice, I had never spoken to her in such manner not even when I had caught hwr cheating."Why are you speaking to me in this manner, I just want to see you." She said."What the hell are you saying?" I sounded pissed. "I thought we had a discussion about this?" "Well I am less concerned about all that I just need to see you at this moment, right now."It was sounding more like a threat to me than mere words.She was sounding as if I have no choice than to speak to her at that moment, she was telling me I had no other fucking op
CHAPTER 47BRIANNA'S POVTHE name kept popping in my mind Kate that afternoon as the wind whistled, it didn't take so long that I had walked back into the room before hearing his car ignition.I heard as he drove away most probably to be with that woman, the one that had most probably called him. It was not the first time seeing that name but I couldn't quite remember where I had seen the name again.Crossing my arms in front of my chest and pacing the room, I rolled her eyes as I trying to recollect where I had seen the name, in a way I was disappointed this was happening again after everything had been fine that morning and off late.Something whispered in my mind that it wouldn’t take long before he get back, perhaps I had been misjudging and he could be back any moment from then, Maybe he went for the groceries, but Michelson wasn't one to get groceries! …I thought to myself again.I heard a knock on the door."Who is there?" I waited till I heard the knock again on my door.Th
BRIANNA'S POVOF ALL Things crazy listening to my mom speak was the craziest. She had this way of trying to justify things in her favor that always made me laugh and she was trying to do so now. Making me feel convinced he was not doing the right things at the same time it wasn't totally bad.Perhaps, if I had gone to Law school just as she did I would have been able to do that as well, I was taught it believed one wrong was all it took to make a business go sour and had stuck to it.I was not the go -to -Mom's type of girl when things get bad, as a matter of fact I preferred handling things on my own in a way that suited me, but she was always calling to check up on me and ask.This was crazy talk, of course. I mean, c’mon. How else could she try and convince me he wasn't out cheating yesterday after I had told her everything that had happened, and pointed out the fact that he had disappeared into thin air after picking a woman's call.It sounded like something so crazy? Worse yet,
MICHELSON POVI WATCHED HER for what felt like a long moment, with the room filled with anxiety and so many other feelings all resting at the back of my mind, I should have left while I had the chance but now it was difficult, not with her looking this way.At the back of my mind, I knew I had made a mistake staying mad looking all cool about it. I had told myself severally about how seductive she was and how prone to seduction I was yet countlessly I had found myself right next to her.I could feel my gaze narrow as I looked at her, ”You told me none of this would happen." I said.I was foolish to believe her when she had said she was just here to talk, but regardless of it all I was prepared not to get pulled into the web of having sex with her again as I knew full well I won't be able to get out of it.The tiniest flicker passed through not just my eyes but my mind as well, as she walked closer to where I was taking her seat closer than I had anticipated.The guts Paula had, I cou
BRIANNA'S POVAS I Slammed the door behind myself, one thing was certain, I was convinced I was thethe meanest person alive at that point in time, I had acted without thinking and only in reflex and slapping him was the last thing I should have done.There was no use crying over spilled milk as Whatever way I thought if the deed was done already.I thought about walking back to the room to apologize but my pride was adamant that he deserved it, all those wouldn't have happened if he had just stayed in his space.I had no idea about why I had acted that way, it was the first kiss I was getting from him in months, but I had let my emotions get the better of me.As I roamed the Patio, I could still feel his lips burning upon mine painting it's nakedness with art, I raised my fingertips to my lips and touched them slightly.My Goodness what did I do? Why did I do it?.A lot of questions were racing in my mind at that moment, questions I didn't have the appropriate answers to, the more
BRIANNA'S POVHow fast was it to stop loving when it turns toxic?For me as fast as my heart beat in seconds.It had taken me nothing to make up my mind, perhaps two weeks of locking my door against myself and crying till I could feel my eyes go red with burning tears.This was not about compiracy but I was prepared to get through everything…As a matter of fact I wanted half of everything as well.Half of his wealth was going to make me obviously one of the richest female in the city and in a way it wouldn't affect him.For the next couple of hours all we did was talk about what I wanted—Which was to get away from the marriage as fast as I could.She has talked about it being more longer process and for all of cared I was ready for how messy it was going to become.Every part of me wanted to stay away from him.He was toxic this man, seeing him this morning reminded me of how much I hated him, it was quite a remindwr of why I wanted so bad to stay away from him.My husband was only
Michelson POVWhat in the hell I was doing. I thought to myself at the last-minute.At that time I was heading down the road, far away from where anyone could see me, it looked like I was drifting down the bowel of hell in my mind.There was a need to stop. I had to bring everything to a stopI tried to hit the brakes on the car.Fuck…I kept on pushing the brakes but it didn't work.All of a sudden I was starting to regret the fact that I decided to go down this path, I was regretting doing this at all as it felt like a very drastic action.What am I doing here?It felt like I was visiting another world, as the city passed before my fresh eyes as I drove deeper.I kept hitting the brakes as the car sped through, going off on the road with the same speed I had started with.As I neared the dead end , I thought about getting out of the car.The belt seems jammed, the door -I felt the wind in my face as it looked as though I was about to embrace death.Just then at the last minute,
MICHELSON POVWasn't it said that good music heals the soul?The music playing softly through the stereo was in a way depressing and there was no way to say why it was this way.I had picked that same music, I had always picked out any other days but today it did look like I was listening to a totally different song— It was like I was listening to it in a different way or perhaps hearing the tunes of the music differently .Either way I was not enjoying an but of this and in a way the way she was treating me was quite expected.The more I tried to take my mind away from all of this the more it became dawn on me that I might as well be a murderer.With own hands, I had committed this attrocities.In a way i wondered if she would ever forgive me, I would give anything as a matter of fact everything just for her forget everything but even to someone totally deranged that would be quite impossible.There was only way I could get my mind off all of this, and that was for me distract mysel
BRIANNA'S POVThere was only one word for how the past week had been and it was —Shambles!One could say I was a living shadow of my old self, and thanks to Michel he had totally out done himself making a mess out of me.That was what was, a total mess…I had dragged my feets through the tiled floor, ignoring the looks I got from maids and the greetings as well.The past one week had been nothing but hell for me as I was trying everything I could do with the situation at hand.The way the sun felt on my face, the fresh air—The taste of coffee like I had always loved it every morning, everything felt to me new.“Are you fine ma'am. ” one of the maids asked.Something in me whispered that she was not only asking for the state of my physical look but also how I was mentally as well, the whole feeling gave me goosebumps."Yes I am.” I replied , faking a smile. The truth was I wasn't, as a matter of fact I was far from being fine but like they say the truth is always a hard pill to swal
MICHELSON POV.What did I feel ?Pain!Absolute pain and there was no way I could get over it.Men are allowed to feel pain too ain't they?Mine was like a hard blow to the heart, I could feel every bit of my heart, stop then pause like this wasn't essential and just when I thought everything might be as well over, I felt it beating again.It looked like I had brought nothing but destruction Into her life, slowly I tried to play everything again at the back of my mind.If there was anything she hated more that moment it was certainly me.It was something, she didn't even need to say as it was glaring in her eyes.My face was inexpressive…Yet one Could tell that everything going on deep down inside me was absolutely shambles.Till now the only two people that knew about what truly happened was Brianna and myself and in a way I wanted to remain this way.The doctor ushered is about so she could attend to her, I took that time to take a long stroll around the hallway, stopping at the wat
BRIANNA POVIT looked like he was keeping the rest of the words buried from fear of speaking or getting how I would react.He looked at me for a minute not knowing how he was going to react to every bit of everything that was going on.When the words fell from his lips, I could feel the heavy weight of them."The baby is gone."At first I thought the words were just my thoughts playing out and he had not said anything, but when I thought about it again, I could hear the words playing again at the back of my mind."What?"I looked at my mother's face hoping it had something different…an emotion that would convince me this were lies.My heart beat shattered, and I could every bit of the piece and piece of my heart as it fell to the ground.The pain sent a raw ache through my chest and I could feel it pounding against it.My vision blurred behind tears and the shimmer of the sun on the marble floors, I couldn't hold it.One could numb any other emotions but certainly not pain, there was
BRIANNA'S POV.I Turned and saw him sitting right there, it was the last place I wanted him. As a matter of fact, I didn't want him anywhere around me.“Oh my god. You’re alive... She is alive! " He exclaimed as I stared around for a minute wondering what it was about him that I hated and disdained most at this moment.He glanced at me, a glint in his eyes filled with excitement. “I thought I was going to lose your"Perhaps, he shouldn't have said those words as I felt my memory returning back to me in full force.I felt a sharp pain in my head ...Staring at his face blankly at the moment, it was like staring into the face of the devil.If there was anything I wanted most at that moment, it was certainly having him closer to where I was.For all I know, I was done with the man.He tried to touch me but I took my hands away from where he was, flinching the very bit like his touch was toxic.As a matter of fact it was toxic, at least to me...I could feel the venom in his touch crawl
MICHELSON.Leaning back, against the chair in the hallway, I rested a forearm on the arm of the chair looking around at the events unfolding as I focusedmy gaze on the far end of the room.The anger In me was enough to raze down the entire room but I did well enough to bury it down as it burned in my throat and heart maring everything else in the process.My eyes skimmed up an inch to find the doctor again, a moment earlier she had insisted that I went back home after I returned there.The plan actually when I had gone home was to rest,take a fresh nap, eat and come back by morning but I couldn't do any of these things as I kept tossing and turning on the bed.The night was promising to be filled with nightmares so at the last second, I had dragged myself out of bed and now I sat in the hospital hallway wiping a hand across my face.My gaze darkened,conveyed every bit of my thoughts.In a way while I sat back in my chair, my humor was fading into the half empty hallway.My though
MICHELSON.THEY say real men don't cry and I wondered if emotions were really part of what made up the term manhood.I could remember just two times I had broken down to tears in my entire adulthood life:The first, was when I lost my fath.The memories still filled my mind like a scar that would never leave and I could still see it in my nightmares.This was the second time…It got me wondering how long I was going to get out of all of this if anything ever happened to her.Never, never was the right term to tell myself that I might never get out of this mentally if anything did happen to her.I paced the hallway worried and in a state that was quite tense.I felt the need to do everything and at the same time, I felt like doing nothing other than just walking through the white hallways of the hospital.Pausing by the dispenser, I grabbed a dispenser and gulped down two cups in quick succession running a hand through my hair that was ruffled.I was in a state of total mess both phys
