Deep into the night, Yvonne lay curled in a fetal position in the middle of her bed. Sweat and tears soaked the mattress beneath her as her body burned with fever. The relentless scenes of the day she gave birth replayed in her head hundreds of times, each memory stabbing her with a fresh wave of pain.

Earlier that day, an event had triggered her trauma, opening old wounds she thought had healed. Despite finding Michael's situation pitiful, she couldn't help but be amused until Lily and Jack settled into the classroom for the day's lecture and activities. The twins looked happier than Yvonne had ever seen them. They even ignored the teasing from students who found amusement in asking if their mommy would pick them up instead of some nanny.

The twins kept smiling and waving at her, their innocence and joy palpable. It was adorable, but then things took a turn for the worse when they approached her after school.

Some students still lingered, but Lily and Jack walked up to Yvonne an

    As soon as David ended the call, Sammy slumped onto the bed and suddenly began to sob.David gritted his teeth in frustration before sitting next to her, attempting to hug her, but she pushed him away. “Don't touch me, David. You clearly still love her,” she accused.“Of course not. I stopped loving her three years ago, Sammy,” David said, his voice firm but gentle.Sammy looked up to gaze at him, then motioned at his phone with her reddened eyes. "Then what was that all about?”“I was worried. Her mental health is fragile,” David explained, his tone softening.Sammy rolled her eyes. “That was not the point, David. Did you see your face when you were receiving the call? That doesn't look like worry to me. You still care about her romantically. You nearly exposed the fact that you are still in town to her.”David sighed, his shoulders slumping. “What do you want me to do now?” he asked, his voice laced with exhaustion.Sammy suddenly hugged him tightly and said, “Tell me you do not lov

As she stepped onto the school premises, the hurt in Lily and Jack's eyes surfaced in her mind, making her heart sink.Her thoughts drifted to her sessions with Amy.

Amy also pointed out that the twins wouldn't be happy to know they had hurt their beloved teacher.Yvonne gulped, bracing herself to face the children, but to her relief, they weren't in class. At first, it was a comfort. The children chanted her name in excitement, pleased to see her return.

He walked with a content smile on his lips, savoring the life he had always craved. The area was filled with luxurious houses owned by wealthy individuals, a stark contrast to the small apartment he had shared with Yvonne. The difficult life he had endured to become what he currently was now seemed worth it.

    Yvonne had been preoccupied with her thoughts concerning Lily and Jack. She recalled when she had first arrived at the school.The children would arrive happy but leave in a sour mood. She became drawn to their demeanor, watching them intently when she had nothing important to do.The twins were remarkably smart for their age, and their intense moods made them a mystery to her until her curiosity led her to discover they were being bullied.It wasn't physical bullying because Jack never allowed that. When other kids taunted him, he would lower his head and walk away quickly. He was cool-headed and could overlook being poked or having his clothes pulled, enduring their laughter with remarkable composure.However, whenever Lily was present, Jack's demeanor changed. He would glare at the bullies, and if they tried to touch his sister, he would push them to the ground, making them fear him.One such incident led to a mother showing up at school to complain about a bruise her child suffere

    Yvonne stood in front of a luxurious brand store that had recently opened a branch in her country. She had saved up a lot of money since David no longer needed her assistance after securing a job at the Langston Group.Taking a deep breath, Yvonne stepped inside. She was immediately surrounded by beautiful clothes and classy customers who casually pointed at dresses without checking the prices.Unaccustomed to such luxury, Yvonne's heart leaped when she saw one of the price tags. "$7,500!"She panicked. Her monthly salary wasn't even close to that amount. Then, she noticed a young lady with two friends squealing in delight over a dress and adding it to her collection without hesitation.Yvonne felt out of place. Doubt crept in as she considered the price. It wasn’t that she couldn’t afford it, but the thought of spending so much on a dress she would rarely wear made her reluctant.Just as she was about to leave, she spotted a row of dresses at a distant corner of the store, marked wi

    “Miss Yvonne?” Micheal's words came out more like a question.Yvonne smiled softly and nodded. “It’s me,” she said.Micheal was surprised to see her all dolled up and wearing such a revealing dress. Her long slender legs were in full display. She looked like a totally different version of herself.For some reason, he imagined her previous persona had been fake all along. He had planned to still befriend her for his children's sake, but now he felt the need to study her more before making that decision.Even though Lily and Jack claimed they no longer liked Yvonne, they weren't happy as the days passed by. They resisted their urge to return to school and see her. He could read them like an open book. The kids often brought up her betrayal just to motivate themselves not to give in to the temptation of seeing her again.“Nice to see you again,” Micheal said in a passive tone, noticing Yvonne staring at Sandra beside him.He cleared his throat and said, “This is my boss.

He hadn't let her down. He was standing by the transparent glass, which provided a clear view of the beautiful city. The sky had begun to darken.It was a nice view, but David was restless.

    A Father's RedemptionThe embrace lingered for a few precious moments, a silent exchange of love and reassurance before Micheal kissed the twins' foreheads. He pulled back gently, his hands cupping their small faces as he gazed into their wide, trusting eyes. Before speaking, he subtly wiped away the remnants of his tears, determined to steady himself."What I want you two to know is that your mother loves you so much," Micheal said firmly, his voice carrying the weight of his emotions. "She was super sad and sick when she thought she lost you two. So, have it in mind that she would never, under any circumstances, leave you again."Jack and Lily nodded, their tiny faces etched with a seriousness that melted Micheal’s heart. He would have smiled at their cuteness if not for the crushing despair that lingered in his chest. What he was about to say next mattered more than anything.He took a deep breath. "So, what I want to say is… if you two want to go to her now, she won’t say no. But

    The Weight of Truth The morning light filtering through the curtains should have felt warm, comforting even, but it did nothing to ease the cold tension hanging in the room. Rebecca’s finger hovered over the call button, her pulse quickening as she struggled to think of another way to handle the children’s sudden withdrawal. The silence from the twins was suffocating, their usual bright energy drained into something distant and unreadable. Just as she was about to press the dial, a deep, weary voice stopped her. "Don’t call her." Rebecca jolted, her grip on the phone tightening. She turned swiftly, her gaze landing on Micheal, who stood at the doorway, his face shadowed with exhaustion. His usually sharp eyes were dim, weighed down by sleeplessness and something much deeper—regret. Without another word, Rebecca ended the call, slipping the phone into her pocket as she stepped aside. She recognized the authority in Micheal’s voice; this was a conversation meant only for him and his

    The night stretched on, thick with unease, shadows pressing against the walls of Micheal’s home. He sat in his dimly lit study, the amber glow of his whiskey swirling in the glass he hadn’t taken a sip from. His hands clenched the armrests of his chair, knuckles white from the pressure.He was drowning in emotions too intense, too suffocating.Anger, at the sheer audacity of David and Sammy—the realization that Yvonne’s misery had been orchestrated for a business deal.Confusion, at how he had been placed at the centre of it all without his knowledge.And above all else—fear.Fear of what this truth meant. Fear of the possibility that he had unknowingly been the reason Yvonne’s life had unravelled. The woman he loved. The woman he had vowed to protect.Was he her nightmare?He wanted to reject it, to push the thoughts away, but they wrapped around his mind like chains, dragging him deeper into torment.He needed answers.If his mother had orchestrated this, then she was not above lyin

    The room was thick with silence—so heavy it felt suffocating. The air itself seemed to pause, unwilling to carry the weight of Yvonne’s confession any further.Yvonne had just summarised everything she had been through, leaving out the fact that Micheal happened to be the man who had been the catalyst of her horror. The man had unknowingly become a tool to ruin her life.Across from her, her parents sat frozen, their expressions carved from pure shock. Her mother’s lips trembled, her eyes wide and unblinking, while her father’s face had lost all its color, drained of warmth, of disbelief, of every ounce of composure he once held.Two minutes passed. Not a single word was spoken.Then, like a fragile thread snapping under unbearable tension, her mother let out a heart-wrenching sob. She clutched her chest, shaking her head as if she could somehow will away the truth. Tears streamed down her face, and with a broken cry, she lurched toward Yvonne, wrapping her in the fiercest, most despe

    The moment Yvonne stepped through the grand gates of her family’s estate, a heavy weight settled onto her chest, pressing down like an invisible force threatening to suffocate her. The sight of the familiar stone pathways, the towering oak trees lining the driveway, and the grand house standing against the twilight sky—all of it should have been comforting. But instead, it shattered her. This was home. The place where she had once felt safe, loved, untouchable. And yet, it had also been the place where she had been cast aside, left to fend for herself in a world that had swallowed her whole. Her legs barely carried her as she stepped into the house, the familiar scent of lavender and aged wood filling her lungs. The warmth of the golden lights did nothing to chase away the chill in her bones. She was trembling, her hands clutching her coat as if it could shield her from the memories clawing at the edges of her mind. Her mother was the first to see her. “Yvonne?” The voice was s

    A lot had happened in one day.Micheal paced his study, his hands trembling as he replayed the events of the evening in his mind. The image of David’s smug face, the sound of his own fist connecting with David’s jaw, and the suffocating fury that had consumed him—it all played on a loop. He paused, his fists clenching at his sides as his chest heaved.What had come over him? Why had he let his anger drive him to such an impulsive act when he had the resources to destroy David in a hundred calculated ways?He sank onto the edge of the couch, his head in his hands, disbelief washing over him. He was Micheal Langston, a man who prided himself on control and strategy. Yet tonight, he had thrown that all away."Yvonne..." he whispered her name, his voice breaking as his mind wandered to her. She had suffered enough, and now, David’s cruel revelations had reopened old wounds. Micheal felt his blood boil.The past had haunted him long enough.

    The silence after Micheal’s departure was suffocating. The sound of the door slamming shut echoed in the grand foyer of David’s villa, leaving Sammy and David alone in a thick tension that hung in the air like a storm cloud.Sammy’s chest heaved as she stood frozen, staring at David, who leaned against the wall, clutching his bruised side and dabbing at the blood on his split lip. The sight of him—disheveled, angry, and utterly unbothered by the disaster he had just ignited—sent a surge of fury coursing through her veins.“What the hell is wrong with you?” she shrieked, her voice trembling with fear and rage as she stormed toward him. Her fists came down hard on his chest, again and again, with a strength born of desperation. “Are you trying to ruin us? Is that it? Do you want us to lose everything we’ve worked for?”David winced but made no move to stop her, his eyes blazing with defiance. “I’m not the one ruining anything!

    The silence in the car was deafening, broken only by the faint hum of the tires against the asphalt. Yvonne gripped the steering wheel tightly, her knuckles white from the pressure. She didn’t know where she was heading initially, but as the skyline of the city blurred past, one destination solidified in her mind: her parents' house. She hadn’t willingly stepped foot there in years, but something about tonight—about everything—pulled her back. She just wants warmth and her mind couldn’t help but drift back to when she was still little and doted on by her parents.They had expressed regret for what they had done and although Yvonne still couldn't bring herself to forgive them, she needed that warmth.Amy is miles away and not in the condition to shoulder her burden with her. She has no one else to reach out to. Her phone buzzed on the passenger seat, jolting her out of her thoughts. She glanced at the screen. It was Micheal. Her first instinct was to ignore it, but then she thought ab

    Yvonne ended the call with Amy, her heart pounding as the words replayed in her mind. She glanced at the dashboard clock—barely an hour had passed since her confrontation with David, but it felt like an eternity. The silence in the car was oppressive, the faint hum of the engine doing little to soothe her nerves.Her grip on the steering wheel tightened as she pulled onto the main road, the familiar route to “Micheal’s” house filling her with dread. It wasn’t home anymore—or was it? Her thoughts spiraled as her breathing grew shallow.The children. Jack and Lily.She could picture them now, curled up in their beds, innocent and blissfully unaware of the chaos that had consumed her life. They were hers. The realization still felt unreal, like an out-of-body experience. Her chest ached at the thought of them waking up to find her gone.“I can’t leave them,” she whispered, her voice trembling.
