MICHAEL’S POV…Life could come up with an unexpected turn. Changes might occur to us at any time. Our long time plans can be disrupted by little things at any moment. These changes can be favorable or otherwise. The best solution is to accept and adapt to these changes. I have never thought that my plans to enjoy the moment with Shad will lead me to this situation. All I had in my mind was just to use him for the moment before I find myself a way out of this place and dump him.I never thought I would be trapped in Shadrach’s mind. My whole plans were disrupted as I have fallen totally for him. He has changed my mindset about this place. He made this mansion so comfortable for me. He made me understand the value of life and made me want to change for good. I currently want to be a better person so I can take care of Shadrach for life. I don’t think I can go a day without Shadrach in my life. I don’t even know how his love captured me suddenly, I am still battling with the fact that I
I walked out, shedding hurtful tears on my face. I couldn’t believe this would happen to me. I couldn’t believe I would be back to this stage again. I couldn’t believe Michael would actually hate me this much, acting so cold as if nothing ever happened between us. He clearly forgets what we had, treating me like some trash again. I walked back to my apartment still crying. I think it’s already over for me. I am slowly dwelling in my grave. This whole mansion feels like hell to me. At this point, I hate life and love at this same time.The following morning, I woke up as early as possible and headed to Michael’s apartment. I was rushing to arrive there before he wakes up when I heard my name being called from afar. It is definitely Louis. He is the only one stalking me lately. I decided to wait and talk it out with him. I turned and faced him as he approached me. He was panting because he ran from a distance. I stared at him for a while waiting for him to talk, but I became impatient t
MICHAEL’S POV…We all believe in love changing us into better people, we all believe love can make us do extraordinary things, and we all believe love can make us change our ways of living, but what we refused to see or believe is that broken love can make us more worse than we were before, it can make us change into more horrible beings that we were before.I have been living a bitter life since the day I saw Shadrach naked on someone’s bed, my life has been bitter since that day. I couldn’t believe he could do that to me, not after all that we shared, not after the assurance I gave him of myself, not after changing myself for good just to please him. That thing he did has currently destabilized my life, I have lost focus on myself and work also. It has been almost two weeks and I have been taking a break from work since then.I sat on the largest couch in my apartment on an early Friday morning holding a bottle of wine and a wrapped weed in my other hand. The whole room was filled w
SHADRACH’S POV…I sluggishly walked back to the kitchen with tears rushing out of my eyes. I don’t know why I was crying, I am sure it wasn’t because of Dianne but because of how Michael disgraced me. That was when it dawned on me that I am only his maid and can’t be more than that. I know he has every right to address me as his house help, but does it has to be Dianne? She was his fucking ex and that was what annoyed me the most. I wiped off the tears on my face as I begin preparing lunch for them. It is high time I get myself together and move on from Michael. It is already obvious that he is done with me; I am of no use to him anymore. It is now left for me to move on with my life or get myself trapped in his love. I don’t think there is any need to continue holding on to him, he has already invited his ex to his place, he probably wants to make up with her and have a new life. I am just a tool to him by the way.I wasn’t concentrating while cooking because of their loud noise. Th
SHADRACH’S POV…I sat dumb facing Louis as he stares closely at me. It rang like a bell in my head that he is suddenly asking me to live the mansion with him. I knew we have been talking about that but I never thought it will be this soon. I slowly adjusted myself as we were seated under the tree and faced him properly. I took a deep breath and closed my eyes for a while before I opened them.“Okay, Louis. I understand that you really care about me and always want the best for me, but I cannot leave this mansion. This place is my home and I don’t think I will ever appreciate staying in other places apart from this mansion.” I said looking at him. He sighed and holds my hands. “I know Shadrach. I am not asking you to leave totally with me. I just want you to take some sort of vacation and cool your brain for a while. A lot has been going on these days and I think you should rest a little.” He said looking at me.I was quiet for a while thinking about his proposal. Maybe he is actually
MICHAEL’S POV…We live in a fearful world where people are the scariest creatures. Everyone in this present world of ours will fight to any extent to get what they want. Without any regrets or second thoughts, people are betraying their trusted ones. Families are snitching on each other; friends are envying themselves, partners cheating on each other, and all sorts of mysterious behaviors that break relationships.I slowly opened my eyes that were soaked in tears as I stared slowly around the room. I must be currently in the main house. Tears are still rolling down my face as my father moved closer to me. “What has happened Michael? Why are you like this?” He asked staring at me. My mother was also worried as she stood from the seat she was sitting on and moved closer. She also asked the same question looking so disturbed. My lips are still gummed and I couldn’t utter a single word.I sniffled a bit and closed my eyes for a while. I still couldn’t believe that my most trusted brother
SHADRACH’S POV…I took a deep breath as I rolled on the large bed I was laying on. I am in a stage of confusion right now in my life. I don’t even know what I want. There is this feeling about Michael which I can’t run away from, I couldn’t move on from him no matter how hard I try. I always think about him whenever Louis is acting romantic. I just couldn’t take Michael out of my heart.On the other hand, these few days with Louis have been nothing but amazing. He takes care of me so good that I couldn’t help but start falling for him. I tried as possible as I could but I couldn’t resist his charms. He tends to tempt me whenever he is around and I am sure I am falling for these temptations. I was still laying on the bed thinking of what to do when the door slowly opened. Louis came in with this beautiful smile on his face.He walked towards the bed. “I thought you were already asleep.” He said as he sat beside me. I giggled and smiled without saying a word as I slowly sat up from the
JERRY’S POV… I stood numb staring at Louis who was standing stacked naked before me. I was also naked and my body was trembling. I couldn’t believe what just happened. I couldn’t believe that I spent the night with Louis. This shouldn’t have happened. It shouldn’t have been Louis. I quickly picked on my clothes and wear them as I head out of the room quickly. He also wore his clothes and followed me while shouting my name. “Jerry. Jerry.” He kept on calling but I ran quickly and head to the main house. I couldn’t believe this was happening to me. I kept on crying as I rushed home while Louis stopped chasing me and returned.Immediately when I reached the main house’s gate, I saw Shadrach and Ben coming out of the house. I quickly cleaned my face and approached him hoping I could still have a last-minute chance with him. I just hope he will see how miserable I am and probably forgive me. “Hey Shadrach; how have you been? I learned that you have traveled for a couple of days. I missed
