Third-person Pov

Monique was grateful for Gavin's patience and how he wasn't trying to pressure her to talk at all. He was quietly comforting her, and it made her feel safe enough to the point where she was not ready to explain things to him and how her life had turned for the worst thanks to her father.

“Remember when we were in Greece that I told you that my mother had gotten the bracelet she had given to me in Greece as well?” she asked.

Gavin nodded. “Of course I remember. I think you mentioned something about her being on a trip with someone she loved, and that was how she got the bracelet made,” he responded, remembering that she had mentioned something along that line.

Monique scoffed. Anytime she remembered just how much her mother loved her father, she felt angry all over again because it only made her realize how much her mother prioritized her father over her.

In every situation where her mother could have gotten out of that relationship and avoided what happened even

    Third-person Pov Whitney could not believe that it had almost been a week, and Gavin had still not called her. She had told herself that she was going to be patient with him and that she was also going to make sure to push and pull with him so that she stops seeming desperate for him, but in the last week, she had not even gotten so much as a text message from him. At first, she tried not to be bothered by it, but as time went on, she got even more bothered and annoyed by the fact that he was not keeping his end of the bargain. She had never felt so used in her entire life, and it was upsetting to her that Gavin was treating her with such disrespect. She was currently staring at her phone, contemplating whether or not it would be a good decision to call him first. She still didn't want to appear desperate, but at this point, she was becoming quite desperate because Gavin was her only target, and she wasn't one to back down from a target. After thinking about it for what felt

She was first awake but mute but became unconscious later on putting her in a far worse state of emergency unlike before.He had to bring in some doctors from outside the country secretly so that his father wouldn't know to come to his mother and he even had to get rid of the nurse who was in charge of taking care of her as he realized that the nurse was working for his father undercover.All of that happened while he was on honeymoon with Monique. He was heartbroken to know that his father who had neglected his mother after she fell sick and got married to another was monitoring his mother's state of health like he had not sinned against her.He was calm about the whole situation but kept it in his mind to deal with his father once he was done with the current people he started to battle. “Yes.

    THIRD PERSON Whitney took in a deep breath and exhaled before walking towards the entrance of the police station. She told herself that she wouldn’t come and she wouldn’t get involved with Cole again but Gavin has used and dumped her. She wasn’t going to let it go. She thought deeply about her steps before deciding that it was best for her to go see Cole in person and hear what he had to say to her. She halted on her track as soon as she entered the police station. “You still have time Whitney. Do you want to go see him or not? Do you think it would be advisable to hear him out? He’s already at the bottom and it would be best for you to play safe by staying away,” she said to herself but no matter what she said to herself, her mind was already set to speak to him and that’s what she’d do.She went to speak to one of the offices, introduced herself, and told them who she wanted to see. As they attended to her, she merely contemplated with herself if she should carry on or not. Befo

    Third-person Pov “I really hope that you called me to a place for a good reason, father,” Gavin said as soon as he walked into his family home.He hated it every time he had to come back here, but when his father suddenly called him earlier and insisted that he show his face in the house, he had no other choice but to come here even though this was the last place he wanted to be. “I would like to think that I raised you to be a lot more respectful than this, Gavin Jones. Don't you agree?” his father hissed in response, not liking how disrespectful Gavin sounded. He had expected that Gavin would at least greet him respectfully, but saying how Gavin just barged in and started to speak without even greeting him made him very upset. “I would like to thank you for raising me, but you barely had a hand in my upbringing, father. Stop trying to act like you've been the best father anyone can ask for and just get straight to the point of why you called me to come here,” Gavin responded,

    Third-person Pov “Did you really have to mention Giovanni?” Gavin questioned, unable to hide the anger in his tone. He couldn't believe that his father had the audacity to mention his late brother, especially after everything that he put Giovanni through while he was alive and even the things he did after Giovanni died. “And why can't I mention him, Gavin? Did you forget that he was also my son? Ever since he died, you have made it seem like I have no right to mention him, forgetting that he was also my son just like he was your brother,” his father snapped in response, and Gavin scoffed. “Were you at his funeral?” he asked. His father rolled his eyes. “There you go again, sounding like a broken record. How many times do I have to tell you that I had my reasons for not being there? Don't you think it's about time you get over it?” he snapped back, hating how Gavin was so fixated on something that happened years ago. “You had your reasons for not being at your own son's funeral

She said Monique was already her daughter and she wouldn’t like it if she didn’t treat her like her mother.It’s been three days since she woke up. Gavin brought a physical therapist for his mom to help her improve her movements and to manage the pain. He also wanted her to be healed as soon as possible. Monique went shopping earlier today and decided to get some clothes for her mother-in-law considering that she had lost weight and her old clothes don’t fit anymore. “How are you?” Gavin's mom asked. “I’m good. You look good today. How was the therapy session?” She asked, putting the bags she came with on the bed.“It was great. My movements are getting better and I’m happy. It feels like forever since I last used my feet and like forever since I saw this life. Being unconscious isn’t the best. It feels like I’ve missed

    THIRD PERSON POV"Welcome my love," Monique placed a small kiss on Gavin's lips before proceeding to help him take off his jacket. "Thank you, my love," he said, sighing as he let her help him take his jacket."Guess what?" She said, evidence of excitement laced in her tone."You cooked?" Gavin easily guessed and she pouted wondering how he easily guessed it."How did you know?" She asked.He chuckled lightly. "I called Melinda earlier when I didn't hear from you and she told me that you were in the kitchen cooking."She pressed her lips in a thin line. "I understand now. That must be the reason why you knew what I did. I wanted to surprise you though. I wanted you to come and be like wow, my wifey cooked.""I can still do that now. Nothing is ruined after all I didn't see you cooking and you already cooked,"He replied.He grinned. "Alright then. Do so please." He chuckled at how cute she was whenever she poured.

He could immediately tell that his mother had gotten uncomfortable seeing that his father had suddenly shown up, and the last thing he wanted was for his mother to be uncomfortable. “What is it, Gavin? Can't I come here to see my ex-wife after she finally recovered from her stroke? Am I in the wrong for coming to pay her a visit?” Gabriel Jones questioned, wearing an amused look on his face that only pissed Gavin off even more.He turned to look at his mother and Monique, who were both staring back and forth at them with confused looks on their faces as well. “Mon, could you please escort my mother to her bedroom and keep her there until I'm done escorting this man out of the house?” he requested.Gabriel scoffed. “I didn't come here to see you, and I'm definitely not going to be escorted out of here without speak

She has a record of drugging, manipulating, and stealing from men, as well as marrying them, and faking abuse in order to get divorce settlements. She was also discovered to be the murderer of her foster father, Robin Owen, as well as being involved in a drug-related business,” the newscaster went on, and Monique watched with a satisfied smile on her face. It's been a few days since Whitney was arrested, and as soon as she heard the news of her arrest, she hasn't stopped smiling. She couldn't believe that the person who almost ruined her life, as well as the lives of many other people, had finally been brought to justice, and she couldn't wait to hear what sentence Whitney was going to be given. She was currently at the rooftop of a restaurant, waiting for Gavin to arrive, and while she was waiting, she had decided to catch up on the news on her phone because she was eag

    Third-person POV Whitney was nervous, but she tried not to show how nervous she was, especially since she was going to be dealing with gang members, and she couldn't afford to let them know she was a novice. She wasn't about to give them the privilege of walking all over her, so she maintained a bold look on her face, and was very much ready to meet with them, close the deal and be on her way. She had been waiting for about half an hour now, and it was already late into the night.“Why the hell are they not coming?” she wondered out loud as her impatience grew. She typically wasn't a very patient person, and because of how dangerous what she was about to do was, she needed them to get here as soon as possible so that she can get this over with. After waiting for another five minutes, she would spot a thug like man walking toward her, and immediately think to herself that it had to be one of the gang members. “Whitney?” he asked when he finally approached her, and she couldn't h

    THIRD PERSON POV“Are you certain that if you see the face of the person you can tell?” The police officer asked the elderly man who claims to have seen someone visit the late Mr. Robin before he died.“Yes, I am certain. That day a lady came by the house. I was taking a stroll around that street. The street is usually quiet because nobody lives there. That cottage is the only cottage there and each time I took a stroll there, I never saw anyone so I was surprised to see a young pretty lady.” The man revealed. He continued with his statements, “I didn’t see her face at first until she turned to look around before entering the house.”“It was during the day that she entered the cottage but at midnight, I saw that lady leaving the cottage and you might be wondering what I was doing there so I will tell you,” he said to the officers before they questioned him any further.“As an old man, I take a stroll a lot of the time because of my legs.

    Whitney's Pov I was seriously running out of money, and it was making me anxious. I had spent way too long at the hotel, as well as spending a lot of money there, but after the stunt I pulled in Gavin's house, I really checked out of the hotel and came to a much cheaper one. I couldn't remember the last time I stayed in such a cheap hotel, but because I didn't have any more money to spluuch and I also needed to remain low-key for a while, I had no other choice but to forcefully enjoy my stay here. I still hadn't heard any news on what happened in the house, but I was desperately hoping that I would hear about Monique's death because that was the only thing that could make me happy. I desperately needed to hear that she was paying for mocking me and that Gavin was whiling away in his misery for daring to make a fool of me. I had a television on for that reason, and I also kept scrolling and scrolling on the internet to see if the news would come up. It had been almost a da

    Third-person Pov Despite everything, Monique still could not believe what she had just experienced. It all still felt like a dream to her, and she was waiting for someone to wake her up from this horrible nightmare that she just had. If there was one thing she had avoided all her life, it was getting involved in any situation that could lead to a fire. She was always extra careful when it came to anything that could cause a fire, so the fact that she experienced being in a fire again after trying so hard to avoid it all her life made her feel like she was losing her mind. It also reminded her of everything that she had gone through in her childhood, starting from how she would have died in the fire that her father started if her mother hadn't protected her and how a fire was what ended her mother's life. It had all come rushing back to her in that moment, and now that she was out of danger, she couldn't remember the fear she had felt while it was happening and how it had resur

She had six hours before the said time but she had something else going on in her mind.“I think it’s best I do this now before going over there,” she said to herself.As much as she wanted to relax and wait for some other time, for some reason, she felt now was the perfect time for her to do what she wanted. “Do it. Don’t do it. Do it. Don’t do it.” She chanted until she decided to do what it was that she had in mind because she knew that she wouldn’t be able to get it off her mind if she didn't do it.She changed into an entirely different outfit that consisted of a short and white polo shirt. She put some kerosene in a small container. She put on a blackface cap before leaving the hotel room.She didn’t have any makeup on as she wanted her disguise to be so perfect. Whitney planned to infiltrate Gavin’s mansion and set the room where Monique was on fire.She had been thinking about it sinc

I am not one to lose and Gavin chose the wrong person to mess with.” Whitney muttered to herself as she watched Gavin and Monique walk away look so happyShe clenched her fist with a frown on her face as knots in her stomach tightened. It hurts so much that she feels this way. She didn’t expect any of this to happen. When she did what she did for him, she expected to have a but it seems Gavin wouldn’t give her that and she refused to lose.She had lost everything as it was and even if she had to do the worst of it all to get what she wanted then she’d do it and if she could not get what she wanted then nobody would get what they wanted.With that thought in her, she walked away with so much in her mind.

    Whitney's Pov I was in my car, waiting outside Gavin Jones's estate to see if at any point he would come out of the house.I had tried calling him a few more times, but it seemed like he had completely blocked my number, which made absolutely no sense, and it annoyed me in ways that I couldn't even begin to describe. I wanted to see if I would run into him by chance, so I was waiting for him and hoping that he would come out of the house so that I would pretentiously run into him and ask him why he was avoiding me after I helped him. After waiting for almost two hours and wondering if I should give up or not, I finally spotted a car driving out of the estate. I couldn't see who was behind the car, but seeing how one of the security guards bowed, I concluded that it had to be Gavin and no one else. My curiosity getting the better of me, I followed behind the car and drove behind it for about an hour until the car finally stopped in front of a spa that I recognized. When I realize
