Alejandro. I stared at the address in front of me and then at the shop that wasn't open. This is it right, this was the address in the file, right? I stared at the paper and then at the shop, the name ‘Ellie’s Heaven’ was bodily written in a beautiful design at the top. That was the only thing
Arabella. I kept on looking behind me as the cab rode fast, Alejandro’s car was still following me and at that moment I didn't know what to do. “Can you drive a little bit faster please?” I asked the driver who merely glanced at me but didn't add to the speed. I know he must be scared of riding a
“Hi,” I looked at her name tag, “Victoria, please I’m here to see….” I got interrupted. “Your husband I know.” My brows raised as I stared at her. That same look of adoration was still on her face, “I know you are his wife,” she answered and I couldn’t help but ask. “How?” “You are all over the
Arabella. The sound became louder and clear as I stood there in his office, I couldn’t blink or do anything as I watch my husband fuck another woman in front of me. My whole body felt frozen and numb at the same time, I didn’t know what to feel. My mouth wouldn’t move, and no words could come out
Arabella. “You aren’t as dumb as I’d presumed,” she went on. I couldn’t do anything after shouting at her, the pieces started to fall into place; the fight this morning, Mom's call, and then this. Everything happened in just hours, every single thing I have worked my ass off to remain the same a
Alejandro. The strings of profanities wouldn’t stop leaving my mouth as the driver lost Ellie’s cab for a minute. The fucker was lucky to have caught the cab else he would have been saying hello to his maker. I watched the cab take a turn and then Landon who was sitting at the front said. “I thin
I would advise you to get us what we want right now and then we will leave without harming you,” he threatened. The lady looked between Landon and me, she was scared but trying hard to look brave. “You can’t do anything to me,” her voice shakes as she speaks. From my peripheral view, I could see h
Arabella. I fluttered my eyes open and immediately came face to face with an unfamiliar ceiling. My first thought was where am I? The bed underneath me was so comfy that at first, I didn’t want to stand up. But I had to, I sat up and looked around the room, it was different from any other rooms
Arabella. “Ara…do not lie to me. I know something happened between you guys, so give me a damn reply.” She urged. I shook my head, “Nothing happened Aggie. He….we only bumped in the club and then he offered to bring me home when I was feeling tired. That’s all.” I lied, biting my inner cheek and f
Arabella. I noticed two strange things when I woke up this morning, The first was that I was in a new set of clothes when I do not remember putting them on and the second was that my head was aching so bad that it felt like it was going to fall off. I sat up in the bed and looked around, I couldn'
Agnes. Life isn’t fair. Life is fucking cruel. But we only get this one, so we have to make it count. You can’t dwell in the past, you look ahead, count your blessings, and plan for the future. That is what someone close to me always tells me. At first, I thought it was bullshit but now I can se
It was almost seven and I didn’t want to go home now. “I don’t know, anywhere my legs take me to,” I answered with a shrug. We kept walking without saying anything for a while, just enjoying the silence and the cold air. “What you did back there was badass Ara,” he said and my lips curled up in a
Arabella. He thought I couldn’t do it. He was edging me, thinking I was all bark and no bite but then I proved him wrong. “Everyone, I would like you to meet my husband and his mistress!” I said, yelling at the top of my voice so it would attract the attention of everyone in the restaurant. And
“No, this one is more than a thief. He’s a fucking cheater.” Okay with those words I needed no one to tell me whom he was talking about. My whole body tensed as the familiar scent of his cologne wafted into my nose. He’s here. “Woah, Ara you didn’t tell me his mistress is a human Barbie,” Dan spo
Arabella. It wasn’t working, none of the plans in my head worked. After doing everything I thought would work including threatening him that still didn’t get Ashton to sign the fucking papers. I mean, why wouldn’t he just sign so we can both be free? He has his mistress living with him already so
Arabella. I got home fuming, I couldn’t believe Alejandro could say such a thing; offer me a job out of pity because he’s aware of my father's condition. If he thinks that would make me accept his offer then he’s wrong, I would rather remain like this or even go out there and work a different job f
Alejandro. It was like fate was giving me signs that this could work again, that whatever Ellie and I had in the past could happen again and I'm starting to believe that. Seeing Ellie here in my office was coincidental, hell I had no idea she was going to be among one of the applicants. I should h
