The feeling of a broken heart is like a glass slowly shattering into tiny pieces. That feeling of getting stabbed in the heart like a million times. But, Darson is trying to keep it together. He doesn't want his family to know about what happened. He wants them to think that everything is fine, even though his hurting inside.
Ever since his conversation with Amara, he's been bottling up his feelings. Trying to be brave, and understanding. He knew that Amara didn't mean to hurt him. She's just thinking about Arman's future. She loves the kid, and she would do everything for him. He knows that, that's why he understand.
"Darson, what's up?" Jack, Darson's best friend found him at the club, drinking alone.
"Hey, Jack. How are you?" Darson responded.
"I'm doing great, man. You?"
"Same, what are you doing here?"
"I could ask you the same question. What are you doing here, drinking all by your lonesome?"
Darson smiled, but he didn't respond
After their dinner date, Andrew told Amara about the house he purchased for them. He can sense that her adoptive child doesn't like him very much. He was aloof, and distant. Not even talking to him.. But, he will not give up. If he was able to make the kids in their foundation to like him, then he can make Arman like him too.The house is almost finished, and it would only take a couple of weeks before Amara and Arman can move into their new home. She was grateful for his effort, but Arman didn't even react. He was expecting a little bit of defiance, especially after Amara told him that he finally found a best friend."Sen. Higgins, a reporter from Haverville Network is here. She's asking for an interview." Andrew's secretary announced on the phone."I'll be there in a minute."He doesn't have any meetings schedule for the next four hours, so he thought he could grant th reporter the interview she wants. After fixing his suit, Andrew went out of his offic
Three months after the house was finish, Andrew took Amara and Arman from their house, and move them to their new home. His relationship with Arman is slowly evolving. Now, he's finally talking to Andrew. Amara looks pleased with the development in his relationship with Arma, and he want to keep it that way.He hired four maids, and ten security guards. He also hired a personal driver, because he wants to make sure that Amara and Arman will be comfortable. Amara's mother is already transferred to a nicer home care with better facility. One that is funded by Higgins Foundation."Good morning." Andrew greeted Amara as soon as she got to the living. He wanted to make her feel that he respects her."Hey, good morning. You're not busy right now?" Amara asked. She has gotten used to Andrew's busy schedule."Yeah, my schedule today is not that full. I wanted to have a nice breakfast with you, and Arman.""He's already at school. But, I can cook something
Arman's POVEver since we moved into our new house, more and more kids wanted to be my friend. I have no idea why, but I don't want to be friends with them. I don't like them, they are just a bunch of stupid kids. After they saw me getting out of our limousine, they thought that I am rich, and they can be my friends.I don't like kids who are only nice to someone because they think they can use him. They are bad kids, and I will not let them get to me. Brix is my best friend, and that's enough for me. I don't need any more friends."You're famous now. Everybody wants to be your friend." Brix said. He's voice sounded kind of sad."I don't want to be their friend. I don't like them." My answer made him smile. I think he's scared that because the kids at school wants to be my friend, that maybe, I will forget about him."Really?""Yeah, I don't like them. They were all mean to me when we were poor, and because Amara is an escort girl. Now that
Wealth, expensive jewelries, none of things are included in Amara's list. She never wanted a grandiose life. All she wanted was the capability to support herself, her mother, and now Arman. That is the reason why she doesn't have any plans on keeping everything that Andrew gave her after he finish her job.After she learned about Andrew's psychological condition, her plan became simple. It's easy to trigger Andrew's anger with some good old jealousy. With the number of customers who are dying to have her again, she can make Andrew angry with no problem.Now, it's time to build that anger. That is why she called one of her best customers. Nicholas Franwell, a wealthy man who owns an oil company. She met him four years ago, and since then, their relationship has been purely business. Nicholas has a son with his ex-wife, and he never wanted a serious relationship again.Nicholas is also a little bit of a thrill-seeker. He wants adventure, even in bed. Amara became
Andrew tried to find a way to calm himself before paying Amara a visit. He knew that if he will see her on his current, something terrible will happen. In order to let out all his anger, he ordered his men to take someone that he hates so much. The person who tried to provoke him at the celebration of their foundation's anniversary.This man was taken to one of the Higgins Warehouse. A storm just landed in the country and most of lower cities are already flooded. A perfect time to let out some anger for the senator."Senator, he's out back.""Thank you, do not disturb me."His bodyguards retreated, and leave him with their captive audience. There was only enough light to recognize the person in the room. As Andrew stepped into the light, the man immediately recognized him. The terror in his eyes was a proof that he knows what's about to come."Andrew? What's the meaning of this?""Oh, this? Nothing. I just need some release, and right now, y
It's time for the final step. Andrew called to tell Amara that he will be coming for dinner. Amara knew that she still needs to push him more, in order t make him angry enough to be violent. That's how an idea came up in her mind. Nicholas will be the perfect person to help her make it happen.She went to Nicholas' house to make things worst. This time, she know that it will push Andrew further to the edge. All she has to do is manipulate Nicholas into doing something that will surely reach"My God, you really are the most beautiful woman I have ever seen." Nicholas exclaimed after opening his front door. Amara is wearing black tight dress that hugs her body like a second skin."I love it when you say that." Amara said in a seductive way."Come on in, my lady."Just as expected, they had what they love to call as 'amazing time' together. It lasted for two hours, because Amara wants to satisfy him to the best of her capacity. When they're done, Amar
The death of Senator Andrew Higgins shocked the whole country, and not in a grieving way. His death was a cause of abusive treatment towards women. Because of it, the investigation about the death of his first four girlfriends has been reopened. Women's rights activiest are calling for justice. The vice president, who is also running for president in the coming election is backing up the women's cry for justice.Every politician who wants the approval of the countrymen are on Amara's side. Even the Human Rights Coalition wants to involve themselves in the case. The Higgins became the pariahs of the country overnight. Who wouldn't show sympathy to a helpless woman covered in bruise because of the brutality of a monster?"The families of Senator Andrew Higgins' ex-girlfriends are showing their support to his latest victim, Amara Keener. According to the statement of Cassandra's father, the last ex-girlfriend of the late senator who mysteriously died, Amara is a woman of
Aurora Higgins, the matriarch of the family is mourning, not just the death of her son, but also the destruction of their family name. Because of some escort girl, the name that her husband protected is now tarnished with scandal. Even their family friends are avoiding them. Of course, no one wants to connect themselves to a scandalous family.Their name, their faces, each and everyone of them are all in every working television in the country. All social media platforms are littered with posts, and tweets about their family, and what Andrew allegedly did to his ex-girlfriends."Aurora, we have to do something about this. We can't let this to go on much longer than it already is." Hugo, Aurora's younger brother said. They are all in Andrew's funeral."What do you want me to do? Kill that b*tch? It will only prove their allegations against my son!" Aurora exclaimed. She had to control her voice because of the people around them."Allegations? They are not
Arman and Kyle went to the park to play. It's Sunday, and they both agreed to spend every weekends outdoors. This is Arman's way of helping his best friend to forget all the bad things that happened to him. He wants Kyle to be happy, so he will choose to stay with them.It is a sunny day–perfect to outdoors, but because Arman is too matured to play kid's game, he would just sit on the grass and watch Kyle. Sometimes, he would ask himself why he chose to be friends with a childish kid like him. But, every time he looks at Kyle, he would just smile and realize that there's no one he would rather be friends with."Kyle..." Arman's watching his best friend play at the monkey bar when they heard a familiar voice."What are you doing here?" The young boy couldn't help himself from feeling angry towards the man standing near the monkey bar."I just–I just want to talk to my son." Mr. Monroe said in a sad tone. There are dark circles around his eyes, and he alrea
A few days after Darson left, his family is still uncomfortable with the knowledge that his obsession with Amara Keener hasn't stop. Yes, they adore the fact that she saved a little boy from being abused by his stepmother, but it won't change the fact that she's an escort girl. They see her as the kind of woman who will kiss any man's feet in exchange for money. Something that they despised so much.But just like before, they can't do anything about it because Darson always had his own mind. None of them can convince him, especially when it comes to Amara. They also can't change the fact he already love Amara's adopted child like his own."I don't know how long I could let this go on. Our son is a single, responsible man who can make any woman fall for him. Why is he wasting his time with Amara Keener." Mr. Humphrey said."You know your son. He will never change his mind. He's been in love with Amara Keener since he was in high school. Years has passed, and his
Leaving is something that Darson doesn't want to do ever again, but even him knows that he needs to work. If he wants to help Amara provide a good future for Arman, he needs to be hardworking. Especially now that Kyle is also with them.He felt happy that Arama, Kyle, and Arman accompanied him to the port. Even though his family is obviously not happy about it, they agreed not to say anything. Darson knows that it will not be easy for his family to accept Amara again, but he knows that in time they will see how great of a person she is."You take care of yourself, son. Alright?" His father remained him."We will miss you." Said his mother."Be good, okay?" His sisters added."Thank you, guys. I'll see you soon." Darson said to his family. "Hey, kids. Be good to Amara, alright?""We will miss you." Arman and Kyle replied."Just come back safe, okay?" Amara said with a smile."Of course. I made a promise, remember? Take car
"Kyle! Wake up! Come on, it's breakfast time!""Go away! I'm still sleepy!""Get out of bed or I will drag your ass down the stairs?""Fine! I'll just brush my teeth. You can get out now.""Not happening. Go to your bathroom and brush your teeth, I'll wait for you here."I smiled as I listened to those two boys. They really are like brothers, and my heart breaks for Kyle. He's a nice kid, and he doesn't deserve to be mistreated. Now that his dad and stepmother are both facing possible jail time, he's got nowhere to go. Both his parents are only child, and his grandparents are all dead. We are the only ones who can take care of him.I woke up early to prepare our breakfast, and as expected, Darson arrived a few minutes after I'm done. He brought fruits, a gallon of ice cream, and new toys for Kyle. He even brought a new computer for him. I can already see that he will be a great father when the time comes. It's just sad to think that I might
The very next day, Amara called Kyle's father to let him know that his son ran away and called them for help. He demanded for Amara to bring his son back immediately, and even threatened to sue her for kidnapping. But, Amara, being the brave woman she is who never blinks in the face of threats, refused.She told Mr. Monroe to come to their town, and meet her at the sheriff's station. She already called the child protection office, and their representative is already on his way. When Mr. Monroe sensed that Amara will not budge, he agreed to travel back to town. She also demanded for him to bring his new wife."What's your plan?" Darson asked her. They are already at the sheriff's station with Kyle, and one of the female officers is already getting his statement."I'll make sure that Kyle's b*tch stepmother will rot n jail for what she did to him." She responded. Amara can feel her body trembling in so much anger."I can't imagine how a woman would do somet
Earlier this morning, the news said 'Matriarch Of A Crime Family Died Of Heart Failure'. Amara woke up to that news, and the first thing that came to her mind was that she escaped justice. She wanted Mrs. Higgins to suffer in jail. That's what she deserves after everything she done, just like the rest of her family.The only comfort that she has is the knowledge that the rest of her family is rotting in prison. Now that the issue with the Higgins has finally reached its conclusion, Amara can focus of what lies ahead. More specifically about what she has to do with Henry Cambert."Amara, that reporter is outside." Arman announced. She's at her room planning on what to wear for tonight.Henry Cambert invited her on a date tonight, and she's planning on making everything work on her favor. Bartholomew Carter is becoming of a nuisance than help. He's chasing the fame that came with the intense reports he did because of her. Now that she's no longer giving him any in
