I woke up with a smile on my face, Liam and I had an amazing evening last night. God! I love him; he is such an amazing man, and he makes me happy. I got out of bed and made it before going to shower. It’s Sunday and we are staying in. Talia is going shopping and I will stay with Sam. Jason, sigh, he wants to come and visit. I wanted to refuse him visiting but then I thought about Sam.
Jason is his father, we might have Liam now, but he is not his father, Jason is and he was a good one before he left for whatever he was saying when he tried to explain. Point is, he can still be a father to his child without me interfering in their relationship. After getting dressed I took my phone to see if Liam send any messages and he did. I smiled as I opened the text sitting on the bed.
My hands shook, and the phone fell from my hands after reading the contents of the text. This can’t be happening, not now please, not now. I wiped the tears that picked my ph

LiamIt’s been two weeks since Lindy left with the kids, the house feels so big and depressing to come back to after work. So, what I do every day after work is go to her mother’s place and visit them. I would plead with my wife to come home, spend time with my kids then come back home and repeat the next day. I miss Mia so much; I have dialled her number so many times on my phone the past two weeks but never press the dial button.I know she must miss me too but right now I need to focus on getting my wife back home. I haven’t spoken to Carlos in these past two weeks, he hasn’t tried to contact me which makes me think of two reasons why he is keeping his distance. One, the fact that I hurt Lindy even after I gave him my word that I wouldn’t or two that he took Lindy to that restaurant on purpose for her to see us so that I can leave Mia.Those are just my suspicions but I will confirm them the day he decides to talk to me, right no

LindyI don’t know what to make of the conversation I just hand with my mother and I can’t believe that my father once cheated on her. I don’t want to share my husband that is one thing I know; I love him and he has been a good husband to me until now. The kids want to go home; they don’t understand why we have to stay here, and they have never been away from home and their father this long. I want to go back; I do but how would I know he won’t go back to her?He told me himself that he loves her, how am I supposed to feel about my husband loving another woman? He says that I am enough and that he loves me too. But how am I enough if he is in love with another woman? One that he claims had some qualities he loves in a woman. Qualities that he says I don’t possess; I love my husband’s honesty but sometimes I hate it when he is too honest.What woman would enjoy hearing that she doesn’t have everything her husband wa

MiaHaving Jason back has been good for Sam, he takes him to school and picks him up. He has also been trying very hard to get close to me but I have been shutting that conversation off as soon as it starts. I miss Liam so much; I hope to bump into him on the road or even in the meetings I have with Lisa his project coordinator but he is never there. Only Lisa attends the meetings of our franchise and doesn’t even mention Liam.Not that I expected her to but it would be nice to see him, just once. Right now, all I have are the memories and the pictures we took together. I don’t cry myself to sleep anymore but I still miss him all the same, I still hope that it’s him every time my phone rings and get disappointed all over again when I find out that it’s not him. That man made me happy, he treated me well and respected me as a woman.It’s hard to forget someone like that, someone who made you a priority, someone who looked at you like

LiamI went to get myself dinner, and I saw Mia. She was with Jason; I wanted to talk to her and find out how she is doing. I missed her so much and seeing her did not help things. I went to eat at a restaurant across the street giving them time to have their dinner. I remember the last time we were there with Sam; we had so much fun; we were happy and now I am acting like some creep watching her from across the street.But what pissed me off is that when they came out Jason saw me coming and took her hand. She didn’t protest; she let him told her hand, are they back together now? I need to know; I told her we will talk again, but I did not think that she will go back to him in just a month apart. Seeing them like that made me angry, Mia is mine, Jason needs to stay away. I know this sounds selfish because I am busy trying to get my wife back home yet I want Mia to wait for me.I just love her and want her to be mine. God! What am I going to do if Lindy fo

CarlosAfter Liam hung up on me, I drove to see Lindy at her mother’s house. It’s time she knows how I feel about her, Liam doesn’t appreciate her, and I will take her from right under his nose. I stayed away and kept my feelings a secret for years. Instead of confessing my feelings to her, I acted as her brother because she was happy and now; she is not. Liam is not treating her well and I am not about to sit back and let the woman I love to be made a fool of.I had Liam followed when he was working too much, at the time I thought he was cheating on her and I wanted proof to show her. But he wasn’t and had been a good husband to her until now. After Lindy left him, I thought he will stop this shit, but he has no intentions of stopping, and if that is the case. Then I will take Lindy from him and he can have his Mia.Arriving at her mother’s house I park on the driveway and walk to the door. I knocked and Andy opene

I love Liam and the thought of not being with him doesn’t sit well with me. He is married, I know and leaving him might be the best thing for me but at the moment that is not what I want.I want to be with him at least until such time when I feel like I cannot take it anymore then I will move on and not look back.

But it won’t matter how single he is, I will not be content with him because my heart will be with Liam and that won’t be fair to him.He still wants to be with me as much as I want to be with him.

Lindy“Evan!” I yelled and immediately, doors open for my driver to walk in, his white hair trimmed close to the scalp and his brown eyes, sharp and alert. With every commanding step he took and his posture gleamed of nothing but glory. He was a military commander in his time and now my driver and bodyguard. Entrusted to me and our children’s safety by my loving husband.“Prepare the car, we are going home today.” I commanded, he nodded with a stern expression before exiting without saying a word. “Lindy, don’t be like me child please…”“No more mother!” I cut her short, my mother has been trying to convince me to accept my husband’s mistress and not make the same mistake she did with my father. Liam is already seeing that woman again and for as long as I stay here unable to decide then he will continue doing so. I will not share my husband and he already promised tha

LiamIt was nice coming home and being greeted by the smell of food that my wife made. Seeing her move around the kitchen preparing our dinner, it felt like old times, like she never left, and then seeing our kid's eyes light up when I came into their room, tackling me down with hugs and having dinner together. All of that was beautiful, and I loved it. But something is missing.When this was all I knew I was content with it but now that I know more and have felt and experienced more. I want it. Lindy asked me to cut ties with Mia and I said I will. But I have not been able to, how do I cut off half of my heart and just throw it away? I know this is not fair to her, what can I do? I can’t erase the existence of Mia or the love I have for her.Yet, that is exactly what I am expected to do, what my wife expects me to do. How does one deal with this?

Two days had passed, and Lindy has travelled to four places in these two days, leaving bodied wherever she went. Drake was, of course, impressed by her competence and efficiency.Now she was in Rome, she flew straight there after her last mission. Drake sent her the details about her family, and she was currently on her way to meet them.She didn’t have to hide from anyone here. She was in a foreign country and the odds of her being discovered were not that high. They were all in a restaurant having lunch when she walked in.The kids were all grown, and she couldn’t help but stand there and admire them. “Excuse me mam, how may I help you?” asked the hostess. “Oh, sorry am with them.” She said, pointing at Liam’s table.The hostess smiled and said, “You have a beautiful family, mam.” Lindy nodded and walked forward. Andy was the first to see her, and the smile on his face turned into a frown. Lindy’s heart sank when she saw than and her smile disappeared.“What’s wrong Andy?” asked Lia

They went to the lounge and sat on the couches together. Sitting close to each other. “Tell me, where have you been hiding?” lindy smiled shyly. “At the office, I enjoy being alone and working on what needs to be done. I am an introvert, you see, and things like these are not my scene.” She man smiled at her.He has been looking for a woman like this for a while, one that works and would challenge him intellectually. Not just spending his money, but one who knows how to make it as well.The type of woman that would look like a homeless person at home but crush you in the boardroom then looks like a model at events like these. That was his ideal wife, and this woman was ticking all his boxes.“I must say, a woman like you would make a good wife.” That hit a spot-on Lindy. She was a good wife, and where did that leave her? Here with him now, about to kill him to save herself. Men were not to be trusted. Not unless you work with them.“I hope I get to experience being a wife in my lifeti

Lindy took the parcel and hailed a taxi to the hotel that was booked for her. She was paranoid after getting the parcel and kept looking around to see if she was not followed. Even when she was in the taxi, she kept looking out the window and would hold her breath each time there was a car behind them and wonder if it was following them. The taxi finally came to a stop at the hotel, and she hurried inside. After doing all the paperwork she went up to her room. There was a dress on the bed and an invitation card to some fundraiser. There was another note. ‘He likes women, especially sophisticated ones. Have your hair in an updo style and play your part well.’ That was the message on the card and Lindy could not help but think this was a trap to finally get her killed. At the same time, she wanted to go back so she can get a status report on her children. It has been six months of not knowing and it was killing her. She desperately wanted to know what was going on in the outside world

That day Lindy buried the body of that man after making sure there was no one else there. She buried him behind the cabin as the body was too heavy for her to carry further.Since that day, more men would appear and attack her. One and sometimes two a week would come. They would come on any random day and now she had to train and be ready for when they come.She now wore their clothes, especially the warm jackets and their boots. She got better at hunting and would now use animal skin for blankets. She was getting much better at fighting as well.Now she struggled a little with killing the men that she didn’t know where they came from, but what she knew was that they wanted her dead and she didn’t know why.To survive, she made sure that she will train and get better. She swore she will continue to fight for survival until she found a way out of that place.But that had been a mission since there seems to be no way out. She was gone all over the forest but couldn’t find anything that

Lindy was taken that night by Drake’s men, of course she fought with everything she got but in the end she was not match for the well trained assassins Drake sent. They drugged her and left with her.The next time when she woke up she was in a cabin in the middle of nowhere. The place was cold because it snowed all the time there. She was freezing cold and there was no one in sight.She got up and looked around and only thing she could see was that there is snow all over the place and it looked like it was surrounded by the forest. She made fire to keep warm but promised to leave the place as soon as she could.But soon realized that she had no clothes or food in the cabin. She needed to hunt to eat and gather firewood to make a fire and keep warm. She only had the thin clothes she wore the day they took her.Because she wanted to survive, the first week she kept herself warm by making fire and sleeping by the fire.

“Dad why don’t you date again, mom was arrested for years and now she is a fugitive of the law and aunt Mia is dead. Why don’t you date someone else, I promise all of us will be fine with it.” Caroline asked her father as they sat on the table having dinner.“She is right dad, you raised us well, and you have been everything we can ever ask for in a parent and it’s time for you to be happy again.” Andy added. “As long as you are happy am sure all of us will be happy too.” Andy continued.“I hear what you all are saying but I could never date again.” Their father told them and they looked at each other before Caroline asked again. “Why?” Liam sighed. “Because your mother and Mia were the only women for me.” He said then took a sip of his wine.“But you can find someone else dad who will be just as good as them and there are a lot of good single women out there who would love to date you.” Liam shook his head.“No other woman will ever be good enough for me. None of them will ever be Mi

The smirk on Drake’s face showed how proud he was, he averted his eyes from Lindy and looked at his men’s scared faces and chuckled. “I told you we can do this all night but, I think the lady needs to calm down or she will kill the rest all of you without blinking.” He scanned their faces getting all serious again.“I suggest you take this time to think about what happened here and maybe when we come back or before that you would have told us who the rat is.” He looked at them with cold eyes before looking at Lindy then nodded his head.Lindy walked to his side and stood looking at the men coldly. “The White’s are the enemy and if you are hiding your rat of a friend, then you will be treated as enemy as well. I believe you all know what happens to our enemies.” She gave them on last cold look before leading the way to the door.Drake followed suit with their guard hurrying to take their positions in front, be

The week went by slowly for Lindy; she was living in constant fear and was having nightmares. All this was caused by the fact that every morning when she opened the newspaper there was something about Jason and Andy.Every picture their man sent, Jason was with Andy and Lindy could not help but be scared by all this. She didn’t know what this meant and she couldn’t even bother Drake about it as he was also busy preparing for the war he believes is coming.To make matters worse, his man never got back to him. Usually, it would take a day or two for him to respond but it has been a week of silence on his end and Drake could not shake the feeling that something happened to him.He was thinking that Jason didn’t only come to see and to warn Lindy to stay away from his son. When he was there, he mentioned knowing about his man but he said he didn’t know who he was. But now that his man is not responding and Drake could not help but think that

In the picture Jason is shaking Andy’s hand and, in another picture, they are facing the camera with both smiling widely.“Lindy!” Drake called out to her, she did not go home after Jason’s visit and slept at Drake’s mansion. When Drake called her like that, she came running thinking that there was trouble.When she got to where he was, she looked around with her gun in hand ready for anything.
