ALEX'S POV
I sighed heavily, gazing out the window at the garden I had grown to love. I was bored out of my mind, and I couldn't take it anymore. I had read every book in my study, and now I was itching to get back to my life. I felt like I was too young to be confined to this house, forced to take it easy after a mere heart attack.
As I stared out the window, lost in thought, my nurse, Rachel, entered the room with a bright smile on her face. "Time for your medication, Alex!" she chimed.
I raised an eyebrow, sarcasm dripping from my voice. "More drugs? Can't I just have a break from all this medication for once?"
Rachel chuckled. "Not yet, Alex. You're still recovering. You need these medications to help your heart
Dante's POVI walked into the office feeling confident and prepared for my presentation. I had been given the project for over two weeks, but I had not been able to come up with any creative ideas, but after talking to my dad last night, everything had clicked into place. I was ready to nail this pitch and show my colleagues what I was capable of. I didn't just want to be seen as the boss's son, but a capable one. One who worthy of Addams name.As I headed towards the meeting room, I couldn't help but feel grateful to my dad. He had always been a source of inspiration and guidance for me, and I was lucky to have him in my life.I had just a few minutes to go, but I wanted to be in the meeting room before everyone. As I was about to enter the meeting room, I heard whisp
DANTE'S POVIt was a lazy Sunday morning, and my parents were getting ready to head out to the golf course. They asked Olivia and me to keep an eye on the house, and my mom suggested we order some pizza or warm up some leftovers from last night's dinner."Thanks, Mom," I said, trying to sound casual. "We'll be fine."My mom smiled and gave me a knowing look. "I'm sure you will," she said. "Just remember to behave yourselves."I rolled my eyes good-naturedly and Olivia laughed. We watched as my parents headed out the door, feeling a sense of freedom wash over us.As soon as they were gone, Olivia turned to me with a mischievous grin. "Well," she said.
Sophia's povHe was nuts!The whole idea was nuts!I sat on the couch, staring at Sebastian in shock and disbelief, listening to his nonsense, and couldn't help but think that he was a moron.He wanted to keep the baby, but he had no idea how we were going to provide for it. We were barely scraping as it was, and now he wanted to add a child to the mix? It was madness."You want to keep the baby?" I asked, my voice hard.Sebastian nodded, as he paced his room, like he was on some presentation. "Yes, babe. I know it's a lot to take in, but I can't imagine us doing something to it. And I've alrea
OLIVIA'S POV“So, you're heading out now… aren't you?” My mom asked, looking at me sternly.I groaned. I had forgotten that I had promised to represent her in the town's carnival planning. “Must I go for this thing?”“Like I said the other eighty times you asked me, this is our way of getting back into the SkyCity society. I want us to know that we are back, like we never left.” She said, busying herself with folding laundry. “I would have attended if not for the fact that it's by two and I have lunch with a client by then.”“Ugh! Fine! I'll go.”She smiled and walked out of the room.
OLIVIA'S POVAs I sat on my couch, after a long week’s work, I thought about Sophia. We had met in college just a few months ago, but our friendship had progressed quickly. I felt so honored when Sophia had confided in me about her pregnancy, and I had promised to support her.I picked up my phone and dialed her number, wondering how she was doing. I waited anxiously for her to answer. When she finally did, her voice sounded tired and worn out."Hey, Olivia," she said. "I'm glad you called. I really need someone to talk to.""I'm here for you, Sophia," I replied. "But how are you? How's the pregnancy going?”Sophia sighed on the other end of the
LINDA'S POVIt had been an awful couple of months since I was thrown in this shithole. It had started when my mom had finally convinced my dad to come see me. He had felt so embarrassed he hadn't even come for my trial."You did this to yourself, Linda," my father had said, his voice cold and detached. "You threw your life away.""I'm not throwing my life away, Father," I replied, my voice firm. "I'm fine. You didn't need to come if you were gonna talk trash."We were standing in the visiting room of the psychiatric hospital, surrounded by sterile white walls and the stench of disinfectant. I had been transferred here after my arrest, deemed a danger to myself and others. But I knew the truth. I was a danger to Dant
SOPHIA'S POVI sat nervously in the car, my hands fidgeting. Olivia put her hand on mine to still my movements. She smiled and I nodded.I stopped shaking and sighed.“Nervous?” She asked, and I forced a smile.It was really a difficult decision to have an abortion, but I wasn't backing away now. Not when I was booking an appointment at the hospital to make it happen.Olivia was thankfully by my side, offering words of encouragement. "You're doing the right thing, Sophia." She focused her eyes back on the road as she drove.I was feeling a mix of emotions. I was grateful for Olivia's su
ALEX'S POVAs I walked out of my house, my wife Rhonda's words echoed in my mind. "Don't overexert yourself, Alex. If you feel even the slightest discomfort, come back home immediately." She had been repeating this every day since I returned to work, but I was determined to complete my current project despite my health concerns."Hey, I'll be fine," I had replied her, trying to reassure her. "I just need to wrap up this project, and then I'll take a break, I promise." I could see the worry in her eyes, but I knew she understood my dedication to my work.Rhonda raised an eyebrow. "You've been saying that for weeks, Alex. You need to prioritize your health. You're not getting any younger, and with your history of heart attacks...I just don't want anything to happen to you."
