My plan to find out what went wrong that day proved abortive, regardless of what I said or how I tried to persuade him it made things worse, he wouldn't even speak to me beyond the normal greetings. I didn't know what was wrong, but I tried my best to let that not affect me or the mood that I was in. If he was trying to keep everything inside of him, then let that be. This afternoon, as I walked into the house, I noticed the silence, something that was usual these days. It made my skin rise and made me so suddenly become nervous as I dropped the bag I was holding and walked into the kid's room, basically running. I opened the door and my eyes bulged as I looked at the kids all on the floor with another person sitting with them. They spotted me and waved to me and I tried to smile but couldn't keep the fake smile. Frank was on the floor with the kids, for some reason, which we know I am suddenly worried about. “Seems you are back, why not come join us,” he said and his eyes bri
It was messed up when you thought things were better and the next minute you have no idea where you are going to go from there, that is precisely how I feel right now. As soon as he told me this, I was standing in shock as I tried to reason and put together everything he had just said. “Who is this person?” I asked him, wanting to find out, I know probably no not that I would never help anyway, but still, I am going to look around and find options because what else am I meant to be doing?“See I shouldn't have told you, I should not have said anything to you, but then it's out here right now, and I can't take back what I have just said,” he said while taking a step backThat only means he would rather not discuss this with me and to be Frank, that was okay for meI don't know how I was going to keep everything buttoned up inside of me and yet be able to live through the comfort of being here. “Is there something I can do? Something you want me to do to help?” I asked him.He didn't
I saw him when he was walking out of the house and when I called him back he didn’t turn nor did he acknowledge that as he ran and entered the car, what was that?I stood in front of the house watching as the car drove off and that was it. There was no one that I could ask a question about where he was rushing to and even if I tried to call him right now, with the intensity he had taken off with, he wouldn’t even take my calls. Hearing a sound behind me, I turned back to see his mother coming towards me, tears filled her eyes as she lounged straight towards me. She held my collar and didn’t let go as her hand tightened on it.“What is this? What are you doing?” I tried pushing her off me, but she didn’t bulge but kept holding tight to me.“This is all your fault, you caused this' ' she spat angrily as her hold on me tightened, almost choking me. “What… What are you talking about??” I tried to move her hand away from my neck, but she pressed me so tightly and with force, I shoved h
The news shocked me so much and not only me but every one that is here right now. Not only have the stocks dropped so much, half of the shareholders are wanting out, and they were not hiding that which made his stocks fall. He inhaled deeply through what cut him so much and all of a sudden, I felt so much weight and stone in my heart, how can this be?“I want to be alone” he suddenly saidEveryone scrambled out of the room at the same time, I would rather not leave, but then if he wanted to be alone he deserved this moment. So much has been taken from him, even when he doesn't deserve that much to be taken, and that made it all more painful for me. I gave him one last look as he stood there, broken before I walked out with the others. All the things that were happening to him right now, he doesn't deserve any of them, and that is why I hurt so hard for him. What he had was what they wanted, and they would do everything to make sure they had it. “I can't believe this, do you kno
“Tell me you were joking right now?” I let out to him as soon as Frank walked out of the office. He cannot be serious at all.“What do you want me to say? I have to trust my friend, if he said he was coerced to do this then I believe him”.“What? Tell me you are joking right now” I walked to him, it felt like I should shake him, maybe when I shake him so well he will realize what was happening.How can he trust someone that a few days ago almost destroyed him? He can’t be serious right now.“I want to believe that you have an agenda with this, I would like to believe that you are not serious about sitting still and letting him walk away”After finding out what he was, I didn't believe him, that he would sit down here and be this calm. There was this storm in me to shake him so badly, but then there was nothing to be done, I couldn't do anything.“I hope you don't realize later that you shouldn't have trusted him”And with that said, I walked away. Fuming with the anger that is ignite
DAMIENNot that I didn't know what I was doing by letting Frank get to know what was happening, but I have my reasons, which are why I am standing by the roadside as I watch him get into a building. It is a bright red gate building that you can't see the house from here due to the fact that it is smaller and from where I am standing you can't see anything as soon as he gets inside. I'm not concerned with the risk that I was incurring from following him, I have other eyes doing other things, but I decided to stand here today because it was the best thing. The best thing that I and only one other person know of is the fact that I am following Frank everywhere he goes today. Why did you think I let him off that easily? Because I knew he was going to spill, and wherever he goes for two days conservatively the place that I needed to know what was happening. I touched my ear and tapped the wire“What can you see?” I asked Zeke that was overlooking the building from his watch. “There a
KATHERINEI shook from the coldness of the water as it dribbled down my body, what the hell is that?Opening my eyes, I found myself in an entirely different environment from where I had been last.“Hello” I called outIt was a room, empty, as there was no one else there.I held the chair and tried standing. That is when I realized that I was tied to a chair, completely tied to this chair, and I couldn't move.What the hell is going on here?Opening my eyes and closing, I thought of the last memory from here, what was I doing before getting to this place?I wanted to scream, to ask for help, but somehow I knew help wasn’t going to come, whoever tied me to this place knew that.“She is awake” I heard a sound from behind me and tried turning, but the chair restricted me from doing that, I cannot turn back“Who are you? Why am I tied to this thing?” I called out, angling my mouth to the side so they better hear me. I don’t know what is going on here, and I have begun to tremble, from th
KATHERINE“No… It can't be you” Tears rolled from my eyes as I looked at her face, the one that is now smirking at me as I tried to push down the thought and idea that she truly is standing there right now and being someone who I can call an enemy. Megan smiled so hugely as she took the phone away from me, fixing it in her pocket. “What? Don't give me that look, honey, we all know what to do at least, we both know we weren't loyal to each other” She snapped her finger and someone ran in her direction. She whispered something to him, and he nodded before disappearing, and when he came back again it was with a chair. She settled down and is now facing me with the smugness of her face not disappearing anytime soon. “I can't believe this, what have I done to you that you have kidnapped me? What is it that I have done” So badly did I want to yell.Want to shout so hard at her for her to see the rubbish she was doing by siding with whoever brought me here, and I can't just wrap my head
EPILOGUE (DAISY)My favorite time of the day is waking up snuggled into his arms. He always holds me so hard to his body that I can barely move and once I try to escape from his hold he will push me back to himself. That always brings so much smile to my face, so much happiness that I can't begin to mention. “Are you awake?” His sleepy voice asked, and I tried to pretend I was still sleeping as I closed my eyes tight.“I could hear your thoughts so wild, and you know….”Laughter bubbled out of me as he tickled me “Stop it” I yelled, pushing his hands away from me as he got a hold of me and was still tickling me so badly. “Say please,” he said while still tickling me so hard that my chest hurt. “Never” I pushed his hand away, trying to stand from the bed, but he was so strong, and he caught me before I even escaped. “Okay, please Damien, please” His hand softened as he held me to himself. We are still on the bed now and panting a little from the play that we had just engaged i
I hated that smell, which was the first thing that hit me. Groaning, I am turning around as I hear a sharp noise and my attention is on the faces that are looking at me. They are so familiar. Someone with white rushed to where I was lying down on a bed, and the rest of the faces looked like they were waiting for a verdict from him. He said something and the rest of them disappeared. He was the only one in the room as he examined me. Furthermore, he held my eyes open and searched inside, bringing out a touch of light as he scanned inside my eyes. I wish I could see what he is doing, I wish I knew what the hell I am doing here. Finally, the sounds that rang in my head went away, and now I am staring into his face. “Are you okay? Do I feel pain anywhere? Mr. Anderson” He said, looking into my eyes. This man knew me, am I, Mr. Anderson?I couldn't seem to think of anything else as I just looked at him. He motioned to someone, and they came to where he was standing. He took a syr
DAISYWhat are they up to? I was left alone for a while in my solitude when the door opened, and he was the only one who came back inside. Not a noise was heard on my part as I let him walk to where I was still tied. He looked at me without saying a word. His eyes were unpleasant, they almost reminded me of the Kenny that I had seen before, the one I went somewhere in my mind.“I see you are proving stubborn,” he said as his eyes went down to the food that lay beside me. I would rather not have a taste of even water from this place, I didn’t want to take anything that was theirs.“You are going to remain here for a very, very long time, so you better get used to it” he regarded me sternly before turning around.As he walked away, my eyes were fixed on his back, they were stiff.The last time my eyes held him, they were hiding something, his stiff back was hiding something.Now I wonder what this is about. It is very much obvious that he isn’t working alone, he neither has the money
My eyes bulged in shock at the person who stood there. I wasn't expecting to see him, I wasn't expecting to look at him right now as he stood there and gazed heartily at me. Of course, it was a fake smile, nothing was real about the fact that he had me locked here and now smiling at me. “Well well it seems I have finally had that audience with you” he grinned as he came closer. I tried saying something as anger welled up inside of me. My mouth was gagged, I could not say a word and even when I tried moving, of course, I was tied up. He walked closer and then stood meters away from me as I shrieked and made noises wanting to move away from here. I wanted to smack my hand right across his face, Kenny, why will Kenny keep me locked here? “I mean, why are you looking so shocked? You think I was going to let you off like that? You embarrassed me with that divorce letter and what? You are going off another person almost immediately” He laughed again and nodded to the person beside me.
DAMIENI checked the time again and again, but there was no still sight of her, and it was getting so late. Walking outside, I stood in front of the door and looked at the gate, hoping for it to open and for her to walk towards me, but as I stood, there was not a sign of her, this has me so worried. Not only have I been standing here, but I have tried the phone a thousand times, and it keeps going to voicemail, and I am legit worried. Calling my assistant, I demanded her friend's number as I had tried to search for it but didn't see it. She picked at the second ring. “Is Daisy there with you?” Once the greetings were over, I asked her.“No, she went back home like three hours ago, she said she wanted to get some groceries on her way home, and then I waited for her call but she still hadn't answered me. Is everything alright?”I have to tell her things are good before ending the call. She went to get groceries three hours ago and isn't back yet. There was only one place where she
Katherine“It can’t be.” The same widened eyes and gasp that came from Juanita was the same on my face as soon as I had seen the name.“How does that even make sense? They are not fucking married” I yelled so loud into the air like that was where my anger was, and I was directing it at that.This was so painful and annoying at the same time, this wasn’t how it was supposed to be.It was meant to be one of my children and in that way, I can claim every single thing he ever owned, but now it isn’t. I turned to Bluey who looked at us with widened eyes and I walked to where she was seated.“I have called someone that will take you back to your father, you and each one of you I don’t need in my life, now when they are here, you get out of this house because you are so very useless to me” I could see the tears that began forming in her eyes, but that has and would never be a concern of mine.I wasn’t interested in marriage or even kids until he came and proclaimed thousands of love and wi
DAISY“She can't be here.” I looked outside again and yes, the person who was grinning tightly as she cracked her head on the door was her, how dare she step into this place?I knew it wasn't my place to let her stand outside, especially when she was with Thompson, so I unlocked the door, and she let him in first. He hugged me tightly before running off to find his siblings. The door was still half open when she stepped inside. “Look who we have here, the new mother.” Her eyes twinkled from what she had just said as she stepped inside and looked around first, “Seems the father isn't here yet.” Thinking it was some funny joke that had just been told, she laughed. My face is still tightened, and my lips are pressed into thin lines as I refuse even the slightest expression to drop from my face. “What do you want?” I asked her to step more into the house, and she closed the door and followed me. I sat down on the couch, and she didn't, obviously preferring to stand. “I don't care h
DAISYA month and I am still pissed at Damien for what he did, he had assured me he knew exactly what he was doing. Today is the day that we get to see Thompson again. I was excited as I walked around the kitchen preparing his food. The others are in the kitchen as well, making the place very lively. The sweet thing about spending all the time in Damien's place is that Bluey had gotten to trust me. She likes me so very much now and always wants to be in the same space with me. “I want to know how to cook like you, Daisy,” she said from the kitchen table where I had placed her and Kai as they played. “That is easy" I grinned at her while continuing the cooking. “Wow here smells amazing” Damien walked into the kitchen looking at the mess that we had created. He laughed before dropping his bag on the table and walked to where the kids were. “My lovelies” He blessed them with thousands of kisses before walking up to me. My whole body tingled as he stood at my back. “You there,
DAMIENI was sitting in the office checking out all the work that I had missed plus thinking about the meeting and how it didn't go to my favor when the door banged open. “I said that you should.....” My assistant stood in front of the door as she tried to stop someone from getting inside, but she pushed her aside, and it was Katherine. “I have told you already that you will not stop me from seeing him, quite all this shit,” She said as she pushed herself inside and then looked at me. The weather was hot plus the whole place was sweaty and seeing her here already made the day worse than it already was. “She is already inside, you can go now,” I said to my assistant, who gave Katherine the longest of the eye stare before she pushed the door and left. Katherine smirked as she walked to the seats and pushed it open, settling down. “What do we have here? You seem to be in the wrong mood today” She grinned as she couldn't keep the fake smile away from her face. I had a terrible morn
