PAMELA'S POV

I remained on the floor after Brent pushed me off and ran after that woman. I looked around in shame, grateful that this did not happen in a public space.

That bitch! What the hell was she doing here at the wrong time?

Just when I was so close to reaching his soft spot for me, she just had to come in and ruin everything with the bad luck that accompanied her everywhere. I contemplated on whether to stay and wait for Brent to realize what he's missing out on or leave to return later.

I decided to do both so I waited and strolled around his office, patiently waiting for my man to return. As I looked across the office, something on his table caught my attention.

It was a copy of his insurance statement and he had just three names on it asides his. The paper was poking out amongst the other files and while I resisted the urge to check out the content, I just couldn't control myself and eventually, I let the intrusive thoughts win.

I pulled the piece of paper out and skimmed t

    BRENT’S POVShe was still disgruntled about the sudden trip to the park but it was fun to see her let loose again as she dressed Aiden and Avery up. I had to go to their room with her because they insisted that they wanted to see us together, kids may be kids but mine are definitely smart kids. “Don't put that on Aiden.” She spoke through gritted teeth to Aiden who was planning to put on a puffy jacket. “But mum, I want to wear it. It's cool.” He whined and she almost snapped at him. “Yeah and it's hot outside. I don't want you ripping my ears apart due to how hot it is so drop it, honey, we'll find you something better and more suitable.” She explained after successfully dressing Avery up. She went to Aiden next while Avery came to me and tapped on my leg. I looked down at her with a smile before lifting her in my arms. “Do you want something sweetheart?” I asked, knowing that the face she was giving meant she wanted to make a request. “Can we go to that picture studio sometime

    PRISCILLA’S POV After what felt like a year of fun and laughter, we were finally ready to leave the park. The twins were clearly tired as we both had to carry them in our arms to the car. Avery had fallen asleep on his shoulder while Aiden wrapped his hands around my neck. The park was closing so it made sense for us to leave. We got them strapped safely into the car and the car zoomed off to my house. Brent and I barely said a word to each other as he kept going back and forth with his assistant. Watching him work while holding tight to Avery’s hands, almost made me tear up. There's just something about the way he's trying so hard to be present in their lives and make them happy, that gets to me all the time. I couldn't believe I once thought he wouldn't care for them. “You know if you keep staring at me like that, I may be forced to do something you don't like.” He muttered loud enough for me to hear and I felt heat rush up my thighs. I took my gaze off him and focused on the

    PAMELA’S POVMy fear and sense of security heightened after he asked that question. His eyes were roving all over me for answers which I couldn't provide for certain reasons. Slowly I watched as he went through the four stages of anger in a few seconds before flaring up. He jumped from his seat and wrapped his hand around my neck tightly, causing me to gasp and beg for air. “Are you cheating on me bitch?” He yelled angrily but I couldn't respond. Even if I want to, there's no way I could speak with his hands squeezing my guts together. A tear rolled out of my right eye as I tried to pull his hands off me but with every attempt, his hold became tighter. “Kent, p..please..” I tried to force the words out. “Answer the fucking question bitch. Have you been sleeping with another man behind me?” He yelled, his eyes were filled with so much hate and anger that I could see my funeral in my head. If I eventually survived this, I doubt I'd die anytime soon. I slapped my hands on his to fr

    PRISCILLA’S POVMy heart was screaming fear and the hope of Brent helping her was the only thing keeping me going. Brent assured me he's had men sent to help her but I still couldn't bring myself to a relieved stop. Claire's boyfriend kept throwing things around and yelling and I could hear Claire's tiny whimpering and it almost made me break into tears. Balls of sweat were trickling down my entire body despite the full air conditioning in my room. After a while, I finally heard what sounded like doors opening and eventually a fight. Ten minutes later, Claire's boyfriend's voice disappeared into oblivion. It was then that I finally heard Claire's full breathing which eventually turned into a bout of tears. I couldn't bring myself to say anything because my tears were also stuck in my throat and crying together won't solve anything so I stayed quiet while waiting for her to be calm. “We've gotten to her, ma’am. She's safe now.” I heard one of the men speak into the phone. “T…than

    BRENT’S POV It was harder getting her out of the house after she slumped. I took one last glance at the weak, drug filled bastard on the floor and shook my head. There had to be an explanation for how Pamela got involved with someone like that in the first place, I'd always known her to go for richer men, not drug addicts. She looked terrible, he'd clearly beaten her to a pulp before she escaped. Her face was bloody as well as her body. I couldn't help but notice she was still wearing the same dress she was wearing the last time I saw her in my office. It was dark and I preffered doing this way because I couldn't risk getting caught in the news by any of those rumor-spreading journalists. I found a gentle way to get her into the car but that didn't make things easier. She clearly got her body done and to say it was disgraceful would be an understatement. Her body felt like a mass of silicone and while I didn't like her or anything that had to do with her, I still felt pity fo

    PRISCILLA’S POVMy entire life is chaos! This morning was worse than I expected it to be. I'd woken up with a terrible headache, which I would blame on the fact that I wasn't able to sleep normally. For some reason, my mind was occupied with thoughts of Brent and the female voice I heard in his car. “Get a fucking grip, Priscilla.” I'd yelled at myself in the shower. I had to rush through the kids' breakfast and prepare for school. I had to prepare waffles and pancakes for them because I couldn't deal with any complaints from them. After rushing through breakfast, I expected that things would go faster than normal but life as usual, had other plans. Aiden was burning up with fever while Avery was more reluctant to stand up. On mornings like that, it always felt like the universe was punishing me for my unknown sins. “Aiden, honey, please, let's just get through this bath. We'll go to Doctor Morris in the afternoon, okay?” I said but that didn't help so I had to make special attem

    BRENT’S POVI couldn't believe Priscilla just ended the call on me. She sounded so upset like we had an argument that last time we met. All through the ride to the office, I kept thinking and wondering what could be gone wrong but there was nothing in my head. When I got to the office, Evelyn was already in my office and she had a big grin on her face. I, on the other hand, wasn't too excited to do anything. “Uh uh, someone doesn't look too happy to be here today. Looks like you had a bad night, well that's not my fault is it? Let's get down to today's business.” She said and I hurried to my chair. “What are we doing?” I asked, pulling apart the chunk of files on my table. “You still have about twenty minutes before your first meeting so I'd suggest that you go through some of these paperwork before then. That way you won't have to return to excess work later.” She read out. “Okay, great, where do I start from?” I asked, confused on what was happening. My head suddenly felt hazy

    PAMELA’S POVThe next time I woke up, I was in the hospital with tubes and monitors connected to my body and all sorts of foreign sounds ringing in my head. I couldn't look around because it felt like my head was stuck in place. All of a sudden, my head started to ache and my heart started beating faster. I clutched my chest tightly while slapping on the bed to call for help. The monitor beside me was blaring loud and I became even more scared. Am I dying? I asked myself. I peeked as much as I could but there were no doctors around me and tears started falling from my eyes. Finally, a doctor noticed what was happening and rushed into the room. Shit! I heard him mutter. “Her heart rate is dropping. Intubate her.” That was the last thing I heard before I crashed out. I found myself in a dark place with no form, no wound, no light, nothing, it even felt like I was an alien for being there. Out of nowhere, I felt a deep gash through my stomach and when I looked back, I found Kent hol

    BRENT’S POVThe minute she bolted for the guest bathroom, I knew I'd caught her red handed. She didn't seem to have suspected that I was aware but I was well informed about all of her plans. It took a while for me to accept that she could do such but I wasn't going to let my woman get hurt due to my assistant's psychotic behavior. “I need everything ready.” I said to the intercom before leaving the room. I headed to my security room to watch the spy camera installed in my room. Seeing how frantic she'd been while trying to get rid of the camera she installed in my room, I guessed that would keep her hooked for the time being while I got the rest of her punishment prepared. I was yet to decide what I would do to her but torture was definitely top on my list. No one messes with me and gets away with it. She rushed back into my room and started calling out for me. When she saw that I wasn't in, she proceeded to start viciously attacking the camera like I'd predicted. My hands clen

    EVELYN’S POV “This is the last time I'll be saying it. You either take her or kill her. I don't care what you have to do, take her or kill her.” I instructed my men before leaving home. Something told me to do this, just in case things try to go out of proportion. “What are we to do when we take her, ma’am?” One of the men asked. “What else? Kill her, of course. Do you think I care if she lives? The goal is to have her dead and out of my way, so you'd better do your job well.” I said and dismissed them. “Where are you going in such a frenzy? Are you okay?” Ruby asked as I threw on some clothes. My heart was in pure panic but I couldn't let that reflect on my face. “I had to be at Brent's. There's something I can't let him find.” I responded, grabbing my car keys. I sped out of the house in my car with my hands trembling on the steering wheels. “You've got this, Eve. You've got it.” I muttered to myself. The minute I pulled up to Brent's house, I rushed in without parking p

    PRISCILLA’S POVNo! No! No! This can't be! No!” I exclaimed in shock whilst staring at the pictures on my phone. When I opened the message at first, I thought it was a random mistake from a stranger but I found the video and my heart crumbled. Tears were already gushing out of my eyes while I held my hand over my mouth to prevent my cries from making it out. His face had pleasure all over it as she bounced on his throbbing member. “How could he do this to me?” I thought, still in shock. I recalled it to have happened on the night of Evelyn's party, which means he saw her at the party and hid it from me. More tears rushed out of my eyes as I skimmed through the pictures of the pregnancy test kits. It had blue lines, meaning she was pregnant with his baby. “How could you do this to me?” I cried silently and broke down to the floor. My body shook violently with tears. My vision was clouded by the tears rushing out of my eyes but I couldn't stop myself from staring at the pictures

    PAMELA’S POVAfter the call with Brent, I felt heat rising up in every part of my body despite the air conditioning in the room. I paced around the room as worry and fear filled up my chest. I tried severally to reach Evelyn but her phone was surprisingly off. “Oh goodness, don't tell me I'm in this mess alone. What should I do?” I groaned loudly. I sat on the bed with my head in my hand while tears hung at the brim of my eyes. His words echoed in my head again and each time, it gave me the thought that he had found out the truth. “I can't lose like this.” I muttered knowing I was either alone at this point or dead if Brent found me. I rushed to my door and locked it tight, in fear that one of Brent's men could burst in through the door and kill me. “Calm down, Pamela. You have to think this through.” I whispered to myself again. I was losing my mind so everything felt strange to me, like I was in the middle of a burning maze with no escape route. I tried calling Evelyn again

    PRISCILLA’S POVThat was strange.” I muttered and returned to working but I couldn't get the thoughts off my mind. His words felt like a soothing balm over my wounds, I smiled a little, letting myself fall for him all over again. “What's making you smile so hard?” Claire's voice appeared from the kitchen. I turned and found her smiling as well. Her hair was ruffled and she had eye bags heavy enough to hold water. She clearly eiffored a boatload of jet lag.Claire gave me a surprise yesterday by coming into New York without informing me. I had no idea that all these while she'd been claiming to be busy, she was putting things in place for her arrival in New York. “Is it who I think it is?” She asked with a bigger teasing smile. “Girl, please, I'm just trying to cook.” I refuted, despite smiling hard. “The smile on your face is saying an entirely different thing. Did he make you smile again? Or are you just obsessed with thinking about him?” She asked and I laughed. “It's either

    BRENT’S POVI got terrible news from my private investigator and I've been struggling to accept it. I woke up with a heart as heavy as gym equipment. I struggled to believe that someone I'd trusted with my entire life would stab me in the back in such a dangerous manner. The morning was dark and gloomy for me because I just couldn't bring myself to accept the truth. “Are you sure about your research? Will you take some more time to confirm it?” I said. I wanted to avoid the truth by all means if it was inevitable. “No, sir. I've been trailing this person for a while now, I'm very certain it's the truth. There's actually a lot more to be uncovered but this is just to give you basic knowledge of what has been happening right under your nose.” He'd responded. How? Why? When? Several questions bugged my mind at the same time but there was none I could provide answers to. I picked my phone to call Priscilla and reveal the truth to her. I wanted to tell her about Pamela's pregnancy be

    EVELYN’S POVAh! You must be wondering why I finally got to show my point of view. It might be a little late to explain how much I matter in the equation of things here but I'll try as much to make a recap. First, from killing Jack. That bastard always tried to make himself seem smarter than he really was. He was constantly trying to prove his intelligence and tried to make himself superior over the course of our partnership but he wasn't as smart or sleek as he thought. I'd always known that he was bound to betray me or at least try to. It was obvious when he started making more attempts to reach me and get in on one of my plans with Pamela. One night, he offered to pay me to get him Priscilla but that was not part of our agreement and ever since then, I've never missed the glint of hatred in his eyes whenever he looked at me. I saw the raw, brazen desire to get rid of me and I figured he couldn't take me out personally so he was bound to pull something stupid. I'd cloned Pamel

    PAMELA’S POVI won't lie, since this whole pregnancy thing started, I'd never felt as terrified as I was when Brent threatened to make me disappear without trace. Heck, I knew what he was capable of and if he was still hesitating to get my ass picked up and thrown away, it meant that I had some influence over him. Or Evelyn did. Anyways, I took the easy way out by saying something dramatic before ending the call. I immediately called Evelyn. “I think Brent is getting suspicious of my words. He threatened to have me killed just now.” I let out to her with a sense of fear hanging over my head. My heart was beating so fast and I could almost hear myself breathing. “First, you need to stay calm and stop fretting. He doesn't suspect, he's either crashing out or trying to bait you and make you confess. You need to stand your ground. I'll suggest to him tomorrow to get a test done, then you can put your mind to rest after that.” She assured me with a soothing voice. “I guess that coul
