Once the door was slammed shut, I knew Justin was gone, at least for today. I sighed as I say down on the couch. “ Are the kids asleep?” I asked without turning to face James who had joined me on the couch. “ Yes, even though it hard to convince Amelia to go to bed. She was really excited to meet her dad,” James said bitterly. I knew he was hurt by the news. “ Thanks for helping me out,” I looked at him and managed to give him a smile. “ You shouldn't be thanking me, it's my duty,” he replied shyly as he scratched the back of his head. We sat quietly, the air hanging with curiosity. I knew he had lots of questions to ask me and I also wanted to know how he felt but I still didn't feel that I was ready to talk about Justin. “ Do you want tea?” he broke the silence. “ I would have said coffee but...,” “ You shouldn't take coffee before heading to bed, that's a really bad habit you know,” he was quick to correc

I woke up to the sound of my doorbell ringing, who could it be on an early Saturday morning? I wasn't going to bother with that right now, the person would eventually go, I thought but I was far from being right. With the reoccurring ringing of the doorbell, the twins woke up. “ Mummy, aren't you going to get the door?” Aiden asked as he sat up. “ Yes, I will honey. Go back to sleep,” I patted his head before heading out. Who could it be so early in the morning. “ I'm coming!” I yelled as I approached the door. Unlocking the door, I was met with a bag of groceries. I was relieved it wasn't who I suspected it would be. “ Good morning,” James revealed his face from behind the grocery bags, not forgetting to beam a smile at me. Sometimes, I wondered how he was always this cheerful. It was like nothing could take his smile away. “ Why did you come this early?” I was actually still perplexed by his presence and why was he this early? “ Oh, that,” he scratched the

“ Good morning, darling,” I was met with Justin's face as I opened the door. He was grinning at me, this couldn't be good. I immediately shut the door against him but before it could close properly, he stopped it with his arm. “ What do you think you're doing?” he said as he pushed the door open. “ That's not the way to treat your husband, you know?” he smirked.“ Justin, I don't want to argue with you today. Can you please just stop coming over?” I begged, placing my palms together. “ I'm not comfortable with your frequent visitations and it's not just healthy showing up into the kid's life all of a sudden,” I knew trying to reason with him was not going to work but still, there's no harm trying. “ Don't you think that they'll be more upset to know that after their dad appeared to them, he suddenly stops coming. It's more traumatic, what do you think they'll think of me? They would conclude that I really abandoned them,” honestly, his explanation did make sense but I didn't wa

“ Daddy, can I have this too?” Amelia hugged a large pink teddy as she gave Justin the cutest big eyes ever. “ Honey, you don't need this,” I was against it. She already had teddy bears at home, even though they couldn't compare in price and quality with this, they still served the same purpose. “ I do,” she pouted refusing to let go. “ You don't honey,” I stood on my ground.“ How do you know I don't need it?” She wasn't relenting on this issue.“ Because you have many teddies at home, so getting a new one isn't necessary,” I said. “ But this one is big and pink and...and... I just want it!” She stomped her feet. Amelia had never behaved like this before. She had never thrown a tantrum no matter how annoyed she was, could Justin's presence in her life be the reason for her sudden change?“ I don't want to hear another word about getting a teddy, you can pick something else,” I wasn't still planning on letting her have her way. “ It's alright, Isa. Let her get whatever she wants

I stood watching as Isabella left with the kids, not being able to stop them from going. Her words had left me frozen. She didn't love me, not even in the slightest way. No, I couldn't believe that but then again, one thing I was sure of was she didn't want me in the kids’ life nor her life.“ Sir... What should we do? Isabella just left,” my secretary felt the need to remind me that Isabella had gone. “ You and Carlos should drop off the things the twins picked out at their home, call me another driver,” I instructed. “ Yes sir,” she bowed before taking out her phone and calling another of my drivers to come over and have me picked. When I thought today was going to favour me in terms of Isa, looks like I was the only one seeing it that way.Getting to my hotel room, I sprawled on the bed as I drowned myself in my thoughts. Things shouldn't have turned out like this, Isa had changed. Normally, I would have been able to trigger the old flame we had but she was harder to reach tha

A week had passed and Justin was yet to pop up in our lives, this was surprisingly weird but also very relieving. At least, our week has been less dramatic and stressful. The only thing weird was the way James was behaving with me, it nearly seemed like he was having trust issues with me. Maybe I need to talk to him about it. “ Hey,” I drew closer to him on the park bench. We had gone out for an evening stroll to embrace the cool evening breeze.“ Hmm,” he hummed as I came closer to him. This wasn't the reaction I was expecting him to make, something was definitely wrong. “ Is there something bothering you? You can always talk to me if that's the case,” I volunteered. He had been behaving rather restless and unsettled for a while now.“ Yes, I'm surprised you noticed,” he remarked nervously. Why did he look like he was going to break out in serious sweat soon? “ Well, you haven't exactly been doing a good job at hiding your feelings,” I said bluntly. “ True...,” he mu

I stood in the middle of the park in my light dress. I was exhausted. Not from any physical work, not from having fought a battle, not from work, not even from the stress of having to train two twin playful kids, but from having to think every moment of my life. Think of James, think of Justin, and think of how to shuffle my entire life around all these occurrences. In my deep subconscious mind, I wanted to just exist, to float out of reality, into a world only I and I alone could comprehend and understand. To be fair, she didn’t think I wanted to understand it at all. I didn’t need to. As far as it got me away from this toxic life I was living. But running away was out of the option. I had responsibilities and I was not ready to drop them. The reality was different from whatever fantasy she had been imagining in her head and from whatever illusion I so desperately needed to live in.“Mummy, can we play on the swing? " said Aiden, and I was pulled away from my thoughts. "Yes baby, of

CHAPTER 17 ( Chapter 15)“Yes! You heard me, Justin. James is a better father than you will ever be. He doesn't leave when things get rough, he doesn't walk away from me when I need him the most.”My voice started to break. I tried too hard to lock my feelings and keep them hidden for so long. I lived with the pain without uttering a word to anyone and Justin just made me think of it all again.I tried to stop myself from crying. I wanted to yell, grab his collar, and hit his face vtill I felt better. Maybe that way, we would share the same pain."Don't ever compare your lover to me. Those kids Amelia and Aiden belong to me." He asserted with possessiveness that irked me to the core. They belong to him? Other than donating a sperm for them, what else did he do over the years that show they are his?“Where were you? Where were you when I was called from their school to pick them up because they were both sick? Where were you when they would both fall sick and I was left to cater for th

*** At Kelly Medicals***" So he really didn't leave any clue?", I wondered as I continued searching through some of Dad's files. " There's gotta be something, some document or record somewhere", I muttered while I kept on searching. " Dring! dring!", my phone rang as I was sorting out some files. " Urrghh! Who is it now?", I murmured as I picked up the phone from the desk. It was Jared. " I wonder what it is this time", I thought and then picked up." You imbecile! You took her, didn't you?", his voice blared out from the phone, making me pull it away from my ear." What are you talking about?", I asked." Don't play dumb with me asshole! 'cause I ain't buying it", he said." Look Jared, I don't have time for this okay? Unlike you, I've got work to do", I said." Oh that's rich! Really rich! coming from a crook like you", he yelled." Like I said, I'm busy", I responded and was about to hang up on him." Why can't you leave Janet out of this?", he asked, " you're taking this too far

*** Abandoned Skatepark with lots of Graffiti***" Dude, I don't think this is a good idea", Dave said." Man fuck that! Ain't no way I'm gonna let him go just like that", I said." Alright man, I ain't gonna argue no more. Let's just do this quickly before we get into any more trouble", he said as he picked up his baseball bat." That's the spirit!", I said and gave him a smack on the shoulder." So what's the plan anyway?", Dave asked." Well, I got some intel that he usually comes here in the mornings to do some "private business" ", I emphasized with my fingers." Private business?", Dave asked." Yeah, I think it's got something to do with crack or so", I said." Oh that's nasty! So he's a geeker?", he asked." Yeah prolly", I replied. Just then he walked into the park, strolling over to a bench nearby. " That's him right?", Dave asked." Yup, that's him alright", I replied, " now let's go teach his ass a lesson", I said as I picked up my metal rod. Then I and Dave walked over t

" Hwweewww", I exhaled out of my mouth as I wiped off the sweat on my forehead with my forearm. " That's all of them", I said as I looked around at the bodies on the ground. I turned around and looked at my car, dented with marks of ricocheted bullets all around. " Geez, that'll need quite a lotta work", I said as I walked towards the door. " Krrrkuh", I heard a gun crackle behind me. " Put your hands where I can see 'em now!", a voice ordered from behind me. " Who are you guys anyway?", I asked the person behind me." That's none of your business. Now put your damn hands up where I can see 'em", he ordered. " Fine", I replied as I raised my hands up." Good, now turn around and get on your knees", he ordered. I turned around and looked him in the eye with a smirk on my face." Get on your knees now!", he ordered. As I

But I'm on my way to your....You know what? Nevermind. Can you text me the address of your brother in-law's house?", I asked." Alright, I'm sending you the address right now", she said."

Then I turned the car around and began to head in the direction of the location, which popped up on my GPS monitor.______________________________________________*** At the Royal Resorts***" Okay, I've gotta admit, that last part was quite funny", I said with a chuckle."

*** At Justin's House***" She's gonna be alright", the doctor said as he finished injecting her, " Though she'll probably be asleep for about an hour or two", he added." Thanks a lot doctor", Justin said, " but what about her memory? Is there anything we can do about it?", he asked." Apparently, it'll be best if we let the memories return on their own, unless we would be willing to risk shocking her into a stroke or a coma", said the doctor." Exactly when should we expect her memories to return?", Justin asked." Well, it depends on the circumstances around her. Just try to let her be around things and people that she knows really well. It'll help jog her memories", he said, " for now, let's just let her have some sleep", he added." Will do doctor. Thank you for coming", Justin said as he led the doctor out. Meanwhile, I rolled my wheelchair to her bedside." Izzy baby", I said as I rubbed my palm on her cheek, " you're so pretty even when you sleep", I said with a smile. " Aunt

" Let me out dammit!", I yelled as I banged the door, " I gotta go save Janet", I said now leaning my back against the door as I slowly slid down into a crouched sitting position. " Knock! knock!", someone knocked on the door. " Who is it?", I asked as I hurriedly got up on my feet, " please let me out of here", I pleaded." It's me Justin. I'm coming in", he said as I heard the door unlock. As soon as he opened the door, I tried to make a run for it. Expectedly, I got caught easily." Calm down Izzy, you don't know what you're doing", he said with his hands around my waist. " Unhand me, you perv!", I yelled as I tried to break free from his grip. He let go off me and I took a few steps backward. " Don't you dare lay a finger on me or I'm telling my husband", I said with my index finger pointed at him." Humph!", he sighed, " well I can't really blame you, can I?", he said with a smile as he stared into the distance. I could see the emotions in his eyes. " Anyway", he said as he snap

" You say she went out when?", the cop asked." I don't really know when, but it was in the morning", I said." What's her name?", he asked." Janet.... Janet Kelly", I answered." And you say she went out with a guy?", he asked." Yeah, her friend, though I think they're secretly dating", I said. He scribbled something down in a book." Any chance you know the name of the young man?", he asked." I can't really remember", I said." Humph", the cop sighed, " Are you sure you even know anything about her other than her name and the fact that she's your sister?", he asked." Frankly speaking, no. She's way too secretive about what goes on with her" , I replied." Alright, I'll draft a report and we'll begin our search in the morning okay?", he said as he arranged the paperwork on his desk." Tomorrow? what if she gets hurt tonight?", I asked." I'm sorry sir, but with the sparse info you've given me, there's nothing we can do till tomorrow morning", he said." Dammit!", I cussed as I ra

“ Urrghh", I groaned as my eyes opened slightly and I tried to sit up." She's awake sir! she's awake!", I heard some ladies shout, their voices diminishing as they ran out. " What's all the ruckus about?", I thought as I opened my eyes, blinking quite a couple of times to clear up my vision. " Where am I?", I muttered as I looked around, surprised at how beautiful yet familiar the place looked. Then suddenly I remembered what happened on the way to the grocery store. " Oh my god, Janet!", I exclaimed as I hurriedly got off the bed. " Those men must have taken her", I muttered as I walked towards the door. Just as I was about to reach out for the doorknob, the door suddenly swung open. " Oh my god, Isabelle!", he said as he pulled in into his arms. I was about to struggle but his hug felt so warm. " I missed you baby, so so much", he said in a jerky voice as though he was holding himself back from crying. He looked just like the man from my dreams. " I'm sorry, but who are you?",

** On the road***" Vrrooom!", my engine roared as I sped along the highway. " Dring! dring!!", my phone rattled the air with it's ringing. " Stop calling dammit!", I yelled in frustration as I drove as fast as I could. I tapped on my wireless earbud and picked the call." Calm down Maddie, you can't go alone", Justin said on the phone." Well we don't have time to wait for the cops. She won't be there by the time they get here", I said to him, " and I simply can't take that chance", I added." But it'll be better if..... beep!... beep!... beep!", he was saying before the call got cut off. " As if I'm gonna let this chance slip by", I muttered as I stepped on the gas. ______________________________________________*** At the Police Station***" Dammit! The signal's jammed", I said.
