(Lily's Pov)

"You're not saying anything, Mom," I said to my mother after Austin left. My mom's silence started getting me worried, I wasn't a mind reader so I could read what she had in mind. Since she wasn't saying anything I decided to ask.

My mom didn't respond to me, she kept mute and ignored me like I had not asked her any questions.

"Dad, maybe you should ask Mom to talk because her silence over Austin isn't helping matters at all" I complained to my Dad.

"Perhaps you should give your mother some time"

"Time for what?" I interrupted.

"Lily my child, I don't know how to tell you this but there's something odd about that young man that I Don't seem to, " my mom said.

"What about him? He's a good man" I defended.

"No doubt he is but something seems to be off about him, I don't think he's good for you" my mom's words threw me off balance immediately. I didn't understand why she sounded like that. Jack was a good guy and I believed so much in him.

"Mom I love him" Tears rolled down

    (Lily's Pov)"Hello beautiful wife, we're back" Jane exclaimed after knocking on my door. I didn't want her to notice that I'd been crying, I held myself together and splashed water on my face before opening the door for her."I heard you say we, who else is with you?" I asked"I stopped by at the office to say hi to Jack but he decided to join me at home, what's with the water all over your face and why are your eyes swollen like someone who's been mourning?" Jane asked."Are my eyes swollen?" I inquired."If they were not then I wouldn't have asked," Jane said."That's probably because I've slept too much today and the water? Yeah! I was about bathing just before you knocked" I lied."Then you should hurry up, we're having dinner together," She said and left for her room.I broke down immediately after she left, I should've ended it all and joined my family, it hurts to be here all alone.After crying for a while in the washroom, I dipped myself in a bathtub and washed up.

    (Jane’s Pov)I was up in my room going through people’s comments about our company on social media and I was so very happy that most people talked ill of Jack and how wicked he had been to people who did business with him, only a few people applauded him. Those who talked ill of him were his weakness that I was going to use against him when the time for me to take over the Walkers company comes.I kept on scrolling down the daily happenings page when my phone began buzzing and it was a new number, a number I’d never seen before. It was past 8 pm already, I wondered who it could be”“Hello,” I said as I picked up the phone“I’m sorry ma” this deep but familiar voice came begging from the other side of the phone.“And who are you?” I asked just to be sure of who it belonged to“It is me, Austin, something happened and I couldn’t reach out to you earlier today as we agreed on. I’m sorry ma” he explained but his explanation had no effect, he already wasted my day and he can’t change anyth

    (Jane’s Pov)I woke up early in the morning and had the name Santos on my lips because I literally couldn’t stop myself from thinking about him. I reached for my phone, switched it on, and sent Karen a text to be sure she would be able to make it for our meeting, it appeared she was thinking about our meeting as well as she replied immediately after my text went through.Meeting Karen was going to take much of my time, so I got up from my bed knowing that I had a very long day ahead of me. Nobody needed to know where I was going especially Jack, Lily had no business with wherever I chose to go so her opinion didn’t matter at all or she can do is believe whatever I tell her.I went to the washroom, emptied my bowel, and washed up myself. I sat in front of my mirror and applied a little makeup to brighten up my face, I had to makeup first to make everything snappy. My wardrobe was recently changed so I didn’t have a problem choosing what to wear, I just had to choose between beautiful d

    (Jane’s Pov) “what took you so long?” Karen came running towards me trying to hug me as I came out from my car. “it was terrible, I had to beat the traffic, thank goodness it wasn’t as heavy as I expected” I replied spreading my arms wide to hug her. “you look so breath taking, I can see Jack is doing a great job taking care of his only sister” she said in a manner that didn’t denote whether she was jealous or admiring me. “thank you Karen. You’re looking as beautiful as always but you’re looking a bit different, is it something I should be happy about?” I jokingly asked, pointing at her tummy Her mood dropped immediately and she became sad, that was when I knew all wasn’t well. “it’s a long story Jane, but I’m getting better now, the doctor said everything would be gone before I know it” she explained “I’m sorry” I apologized “It’s nothing, come on, let’s go inside we really have a lot to talk about and we can’t do that standing here” she said and led the way to her office and

    (Jane’s Pov)I didn't know how I was going to ask her about her stomach without making it look like I was insulting her. There was no way I was going to resist the urge of asking her so I thought of the most polite way I knew."If you do not mind telling me, I would love to know what happened to you, you've changed and you look quite different from the normal you, what happened Karen?" I asked.She lowered her head and sobbed quietly, I didn't know what to do so I just sat down and watched her."It's a long story and it's not something I love to remember because each time I do, it breaks me. She said, trying to withhold herself from crying."I'm sorry about that but you can always tell me anything, we're still friends, aren't we?"There was no way I would be taking 'no' for an answer from her, I was going to persuade her until she tells me how she got a stomach that's that big."Of course yes, we are still friends," she replied."Remember we used to tell each other our secrets when yo

You’re supposed to stay away from my life, I paid the price for that remember?”“Lily it’s not my fault that things happened the way they did…”“It’s my fault then. How could you? Austin I trusted you so much and yet you broke me the third time. Why do you have to keep hurting me? What did I ever do to you to deserve the things that I get from you?” I asked trying so hard to withhold my tears from dropping.Austin tried to make an inch closer but I took two steps backwards to stop him from coming any closer. I never believed I would set my eyes on him again after what he did to me.When Jack showed me that video of us having sex, a video I knew nothing about, my heart sank into my stomach. Austin took a sex video of us without my knowledge. He drugged me and had sex with me.“How am I suppose

    (Jack’s Pov)In a bid to find comfort, I ran into a bar filled with lots of people and echoes that came from the loud music being played in the bar. It was a locally made expensive bar and had a very beautiful sight but I was in pains not to pay attention to its details.I found my way into the thick crowd that was rocking each other and flirting around. The crowd was congested but I still managed to find my way to the barman’s spot where I would stay and drink until I’m able to forget all that I’d been through.“One beer please,” I said to the bar attendant who was serving everybody.“Are you married?” the young man asked.“Excuse me,” I said looking confused. I didn’t know what being married had to do with ordering a beer in the bar.“You’re in the couple’s corner, if you’re alone then you should go to the other side, divorced people aren’t allowed her either,” the barboy said pointing to the corner which had only a young lady who was already drinking herself to stupor.For a moment

    (Lily’s Pov)When my son woke up, I had to beg the doctor to let us go because his twin brother was at home all alone. The doctor refused and asked that I let them take care of him while I go back to his brother at home but fear wouldn’t let me do that.“I’m sorry ma, we can’t let you take him home when he hasn’t healed properly,” the doctor said.“But I can take care of him at home, all you have to do is give me his drugs and I will administer them to him following your directions” I pleaded.“It doesn’t work that way, ma’am. Let us take care of his wounds” the doctor insisted.“You’re not in any position to tell me what to do with my child” I fumed.“You can take him home if you want, we are only trying our best to make sure that your son is in good condition” the doctor replied.After giving a second thought to the doctor’s advice, I had no other choice left other than to call on Samantha and let her know what happened to one of the twins.“Hello Samantha” I cried.“Why are you cry

I wrapped him up in my arms immediately and searched all over his body for where the blood was coming from. I turned him over and it was from his head that the blood was streaming from.Confused and didn’t know what to do I reached for my phon

    (Jack’s Pov)I got home after a long day at the company and decided that I need to rest because I had lunch almost at 4 pm, I didn’t see the need to eat again at night so I walked straight to my room without going to the dining to check what was prepared.“I thought I was going to wait forever” Karen chuckled immediately after I turned the light on.“You scared me! How did you get here?” I asked, disgusted by her presence.“Are you not happy to see me? What was I even thinking? I have forgotten that you have a new wife but I don’t see her anywhere around this place” Karen chuckled looking around everywhere and making a comic face.“I’m warning you, stop it…”“Or what Jack? I loved you and what did you do? You divorced me for some whore who got pregnant for another man, tell me, have you suddenly become impotent that another man had to get your wife pregnant, so pathetic” Karen mocked.“How did you get into my room and who opened the gate for you?” I asked the desperate Karen seating o

I was becoming tired of the entitlement which they gave me, I wanted my staff to feel free with me and not freak out whenever they see me but that seemed like a wish that wouldn’t come true, even when I try talking to some of them they would bend their head until I would be done talking.“Good

Some strange person called Jack telling him that they’ve found her, what if it’s Lily that he found. I think Jack is in love with her”“What makes you think so?” Karen asked.“Because I heard him say to Jack ‘Boss we have found her” I replied.“Not that part”“Which part do you mean?” I asked“The part you said he’s in love with her”“Yes, Karen I think he’s in love with her and if she’s the one that they’ve found then it’s the end of the road for the both of us” I cried perambulating around the whole place.“What do you suggest we do now?” Jane asked.“I do not know, I’m as confused as you are yourself and Jack isn’t giving me any chance to get close to the company despite how weak I thought he was.“That’s not good at all”“Yes, it isn’t and now I’m scared.

It was the new location where he keeps hostages whenever captures anyone that I have him go after.A week ago, my assistant brought to my notice the case of a missing fund where a huge amount of money went missing. It was traced to the desk of our three-year-old staff who was a data analyst. She was employed because her curriculum vitae says she is an experienced data analyst and when my assistant gave her a test, she did very well and that was the most relevant reason why she was employed, so basically, she’s very good at her job.Ever since she resumed work, my assistant has been reporting a missing fund to me but I had them all ignored because the money missing wasn’t much, but this time around, I had it investigated because the money which was lost this time was quite huge and it was nothing I could overlook just like that. I wanted to know the person who’d be so bold to steal from me.My assistant

The doctor’s confirmation of her having twins means that it could be because Jane and I are twins but then I’m not the only one who is a twin, the man she cheated on me with could be too.Sometimes I try to get my mind off from thinking about her but the thought never goes away, it still finds its way into my heart and each time it does, it torments me.When I couldn’t deal with it any longer, I confided in Jane and told her everything that I was going through because she was the only person I could trust at the moment."Do you think I did the right thing?"
