Becky Williams opened her eyes narrowly as she stretched her arms away languidly. Her hand groped its way to the left side of the bed but all she could feel was the warm bedsheets. That was the moment she opened her eyes widely and realized that he's already all gone.She licked lower lip and pulled herself in a sitting position. Selvin has left her too fast, they just had a steamy night last night and she didn't expect him to leave right away.Her eyes roamed the whole room until it landed on the bedside table. There was a note left behind. She picked it up and read it. "I am sorry." She frowned her forehead and titled her head on the right side before she sighed. She sank on her bed and settled like a homeless teenager girl looking for comfort.She didn't get his contacts, she didn't have anything to reach him out— and she must not, knowing that Selvin has a wife already.Becky Williams tried to recall the whole conversation they had and heaved a sigh again. She rolled her eyes and
begail’s Point of View“Are you sure you are fine?”I took a deep sigh when I heard the words coming from my best friend, Macey Lewis. I know in myself that I am not okay with the treatments I have had in this mansion, but I know that I have nothing to put against it.They owned the house, so it’s their rules. I have to obey them. I have to do it since, in the first place, it’s my decision to marry Selvin Jones.He’s been so good to me for four years. He was there when I had nothing and no one to talk to. He’s been so caring and understanding, so if this is the return, then I should embrace it.It’s my choice; I must stand for it; and also, I love my husband. I left everything behind just to be with him.“Hey, did you hear what I said?” Macey asked, and that made me shoot back into reality.“Yes,” I almost mumbled, before I stifled another sigh and raised the tone of my voice. “Yes, I am fine, Macey. Don’t worry about me.” But inside my head, I crossed my fingers, disapproving of the
Abegail’s Point of View.I took a deep breath and blew it through my mouth in a second, then I looked around the whole room. For heaven’s sake, there’s no rat in here!I shook my head, unbelieving the fact that I was tricked by Sarah. I know, she’s up to something, she’s such a liar; and I am too dumb on obeying her. Now, I need to leave this mansion as soon as possible, and meet my friends.“Mom, she really did it! I lost it, she stole it from me!” A woman’s voice. “We can’t just accept a thief inside the mansion, Mom! Ditch her out from here!”I heard an outcry, and when the words started digging into my head, my hands began to tremble. If I’m not mistaken, that’s Sarah, and she’s about to start another chaos inside the house again.I felt like my soul was gradually leaving my body. I took a step backward to lean on the wall and waited for them to come on the doorstep. In a second or two, Sarah and her mother stood on the doorway.Jessica’s brows seemed to be one dark line as she fr
Abegail’s Point of View.It’s already forty-five minutes past eleven when I looked out from the window with a deep sigh. Dang it, why Selvin has to come home too late? I really want to talk to him about the argument that had happened hours ago.I want to get out of this mansion as soon as possible. My friends are really willing to help, but still, I have to tell my husband about it. This time, I don’t care if he’ll agree or not, I’ll be leaving soon.I dialed his number again and shook my head when the operator said that the receiver was busy and unreachable. My hands started to tremble as the anxiety began stitching itself on my nerves.Where are you now, Selvin?“Abegail!”I closed my eyes tightly and turned to face the door. With a loud thud, the door was opened by Darwin Jones, Selvin’s biological father.His brows were drawn too deep, almost crashing to each other. His footsteps were heavy with real and strong thuds as he took his way to me.“What did you do?” he asked with his d
Abegail’s Point of View.He moaned as he came. I just laid there, catching my own breath. The terror covered my whole brain and body. I took a minute or two before I regained my full consciousness.“Damn..” Selvin murmured and dropped his body on the bed. When I found his hands were groping to touch me, I jumped off the bed and ran into our walk-in closet.I picked up my clothes and wore it. When I came out from the closet, I checked where Selvin was. He was already sleeping.The sight of him made the side of my eyes warm. I can’t believe that my husband could do this to me. He railed me while he’s drunk, and I was screaming for him to stop, but he didn’t stop.I came out from the room, covering my mouth to stop myself from sobbing too loud. The whole house is already dark, they turned the lights off. Everybody’s sleeping already.I groped on the railings of the stairs, and finally, I came out from the place. I need to find my phone as soon as possible! I was a meter away from the gat
Abegail’s Point of View.I didn’t sleep the whole night, I just kept on staring on the ceiling, thinking for a way how to vanish from this point of my life.It’s so funny to think how my emotions were all mixed up. I’d probably die too soon because of these heavy things happening.While gazing up on the white ceiling, my alarm from the phone buzzed. I looked at it and saw a reminder flashing on the screen. “Call Dad” was the name of the reminder. I languidly picked it up to dial his phone number and waited for him to answer.“Hello?” A voice of a lady answered. “Is this the daughter of Mr. Taylor?”Perhaps, it’s one of the caregivers. “Yes,” I answered meekly. “I am his daughter, can I speak to him, please?”“Just a minute, Miss Taylor.”Miss Taylor. The mere name people used to call me. Now, I was called by the name Mrs. Jones, but was I really married? Truth be told, the first weeks of the marriage are fine, but when I started staying in his mansion, I felt like I’ve been played .I
Selvin's Point of ViewIt was already seven forty-five in the evening when I came inside the bar full of sweaty, moving bodies, their skin almost rubbing against each other.I took a deep breath as the words from my wife kept on repeating inside my head. She had told me that it was already done, all messed up, given up and such.I knew I was wrong all along and I realized it too late, but damn! How fast has my wife decided to end it? Haven't I noticed things that I should be watching for?Maybe I just hadn't given attention, but why is she so fast in making decisions? Am I not enough to be her reason for staying?My phone vibrated on my hand. It's a good thing that I didn't put it on steady and silent. I still have the chance to notice the new messages and calls despite being in a very noisy vicinity.I swiped the screen to open and read the mere notification on the screen. It's a message from my friend named Kevin, and he said: "I am on the right corner of this place, first VIP table

Fourteen or less tequila shots and Selvin felt his world turning around. He took a tight grip on the leather sofa as the other people's eyes gathered to watch him stand on his feet. They were grinning at him. Some were tipsy, some were like him, wasted."Eyoo! Your man's drunk, Kevin! " A man's voice exclaimed. "Would you call his lover, or does he have one?""Let him, he's getting through a bad rocky road now, you know what I mean? It's a problem. " There's a slight pause before the voice goes on. "He needs to unwind from the things that ruin his life!"It was Kevin's voice. It's easy to recognize because it sounded like an uncle with glasses and a bald head.Although he didn't look like it, he sounded like he was one of them.Selvin hiccuped. "F*ck, they humiliated me online!" he snapped and shook his head. "Dang it, I could take everything, but humiliation? Damn it, that's the least thing I was expecting to have. I've been doing my best to protect my reputation as a man but some nu
