There has been this burden in my heart since a few days ago, the burden that refuses me to interact properly

The fear that something might go wrong, and it's all because of the train that took me to this place

And on top of all that? Damien has refused to say a word to me.

Just like right now, he stepped into the living room where I was sitting with the kids and waited for them to finish getting ready for school.

“Dad, how do I look?” Bluey wheeled herself around, showing him.

For the first time, he took his eyes from his phone and watched her with his eyes tilting up in a smile

“You look so beautiful, my love” he acknowledged

So pleased with his words, she turned around again, twirling herself in front of him. He didn't take his eyes off her even as I watched them.

In my time of being here, I have noticed that Damien loves his kids so much, regardless of what was going on with him, he never stops making time for his kids.

He didn't look at me, even as we all stood up, and I took th

    “What was that??” Megan took the phone off my hand and asked, she looked rather too concerned.“I have no idea, I swear” I didn't even know what to say or how to put up with the whole thing, what was happening in actuality?“Let me see” she took the phone from me, looking at the number that had just calledShe dialed the number on her phone and afterward just looked at it before she handed the phone back to me“I think it is a prank call,” She said, waving it all off, “You don't have to worry about this” Of course, she will think that this was a prank call, how can I begin to offload the words that not only this call but there is someone in this house watching us, and this person might be one of them?“In reality, have you ever had this sort of call? I mean, has someone approached you before based on something like this??” She asked.There was something shaky about her voice, about the way she was looking now, then tensed shaky breath she was throwing out, what was that?Noticing th

Megan, on the other hand, was ready to purchase whatever expensive thing she saw on the shelf.“How about this one?” She twirls a sharp bright red color dress in her hand, showing me the dress as she stares at it adorably.“Sincerely I have no idea” I shook my head She looked at me and huffed before she went back into the place she had brought the dress fromI was so bored out of my mind, I know Claudia, who has set herself apart from us, was as bored as I was I walked to where she was standing and stood beside her“I'm I the only one that hates this??” I said, looking her in the face.Her smile came and she nodded “You always loved shopping my baby, seeing you have less interest in it makes me feel some type of way,” she let out trying to keep a frown onI smiled at her, I just need to learn more about Kathy more, so I will know how to answer questions like this one.“Well, since you hate it as much as I do,

    DAMIEN“You were right,” Frank said as soon as we settled down in the little curb we stay to eat“About??” I asked, not looking at him as I skimmed through the pages of the menu.“Katherine, she somehow doesn't come off the same in my eyes anymore. So, you were right in your observations” he took the other menu and flipped through it as my eyes lowered away from the one I'm holding.The last person I had envisioned seeing here was Katherine, apart from being a bitchy person who only cares about herself, she goes to exclusive dinners where she will be paid for just sitting there“She changed, right? Keep saying the same thing” I folded My hands, relaxing my back against the seat.Not only have I been having these thoughts, everything about the way she behaves is changing that is eye glaring and has me asking questions.But I've resolved to push them all away and just let the accident keep doing whatever they are doing.“Did you see her eyes?

Where did she go?I made to walk out, but something was tugging me not to walk away like that, so I excused myself from Frank and strode to where Claudia was sitting alone“Still here??” I asked before turning to where she will see me properly.“Yes, waiting for Katherine” She responded“Great then, it was good seeing you here,” I said to her and spun to walk away when she called my nameI stopped walking and reverted to the position as I closed my eyes“I apologize for what happened Damien, and please promise me you will never mention this to her, just as you haven't for all this year,” She said to me, her voice crooked as they beseechedA scowl came to my face“Oh, I shouldn't mention the fact that you sold your daughter to her face?

That was all he said, and it's being proven to be true after his social media was checked” He told me.I closed my eyes, ran my hand through my head in frustrationThis

I swear you can take whatever you want here but please.....”The sound of his laughter caught the rest of my words off, he laughed so hard as the pans of his ugly face are joined, suddenly the laughter died down as he pinned the gun at my side this time punching it so hard that my side began hurting“You think I came here to steal? Don't you think that would have been easy-peasy? I would have gone through the front doors since there is a lot to stea

Once my feet stepped into the big reception area, I can see the dozens of eyes that fell on me, the whole place became so quiet that even a drop of needle sound could be heard I was nervous but at the same time, thinking about those children gave me a foot, and

    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
