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? I need help; I don’t know what kind of help am seeking, maybe just someone to
Liam“Sir, I heard you called for me” my projects coordinator Lisa pops her head into my office. “Yes, I did, I have a project that I want us to discuss, please come in.” She opens the door but does not come in. “Can we do this after my meeting with Ms. Black? She is already in the boardroom waiting for me.” Mia is here, oh my, it’s been a week without seeing her, and even though we speak on the phone, it’s not the same.“Well then, I might as well be in that meeting, I also need to hear how things are and it’s been a while since I last saw Ms. Black. She might even think the CEO of this company doesn’t care about his clients.” Lisa smiles, she doesn’t need to know anything. “Then let’s not keep her waiting.” She says then leaves, I fix my suit and follow Lisa to the boardroom.I hear her melodic voice before I see her, she and Lisa are laugh
LindyAm standing in the hallway watching Liam play with the kids, they are laughing and look happy. He has been happy the past couple of days, not the normal happy but like when he was with her happy. Could he have gone back to her? I swear if he did then I am divorcing him and kicking him out so that he can be with her in peace. “Babe, come join us.” He calls me with the biggest smile on his face.I shook my head. “No, I have to get dinner started,” I tell him then walk to the kitchen, he follows me and stands on the other side of the island. “What’s wrong?” he asks as if he doesn’t know what is wrong. “You look happy,” I comment and he frowns. “Am I not supposed to be happy?” he asks. “I mean like when you were with her kind of happy. Are you back together with her?” he looks at me for a moment without saying a word.“I told you I will not talk
Mia“Come on Mia, give me a chance,” Jason begs for the hundred times. He came to ask me out, and I refused. But he doesn’t want to give up. “Mia, admit that your relationship with that guy is not the same and it will never be the same if his wife found out about you.” Now he is pissing me off. “I told you before to stop talking about my relationship like you know what is going on in it. I have told you time and time again that the only relationship you and I will ever have, is being parents to Sam. Nothing more.” I open the cupboard and take out a glass.All this talk has made me thirsty. “Mia, this is not good for you and it will only end with you getting hurt. You deserve better than this and I curse myself for leaving you because if I didn’t leave then none of this will be happening.” And yet I am glad it happened. I am glad he left because if he didn’t, I wouldn’t hav
LiamGetting that text from Mia drove me crazy, I had just gotten out of a meeting when she sent it and my heart skipped a beat. I got worried because my woman doesn’t send such a text and when I received it. I thought of Sam and his condition. I didn’t even go back into my office; I headed to the elevator and went downstairs. On the road I ignored all the rules of the road, I just wanted to get to my woman and find out what is wrong.When I got to her place, I park and hurried to her door. I knocked but there was no response, so; I take out my key and opened the door. “Mia!” I called out her name as I closed the door. “Mia, baby where are you?” I am getting frustrated now. “Am here?” She appeared from the hallway looking a mess and her eyes puffy and red.I pull her into my arms. “Baby, what’s wrong?” she sniffs holding me tighter and I do the same. “Talk to me, lo
“Bella, come, baby, let mommy feed you” Mia calls her two-year-old daughter to come and eat. They are at the park with Talia and Sam. The boy is now five years old. “This one takes after her father,” Talia comments looking at Bella ignoring her mother’s call as sheContinues playing. “I disagree, her father listens and is a gentleman. Bella is a rebel and always does the opposite of what you ask.” Talia shakes her head in disagreement.“I still think she takes after her father; she might be stubborn and rebellious now but mark my words. Bella is going to be a lady.” Mia looks at her daughter, a beautiful little thing with her father’s eyes.Liam never stopped seeing his mistress, and his wife Lindy trusted him again after a year. He gave her no reason to doubt him but still found time to be with Mia in their hideout. He was happy with the two women in his life and so were they. Lindy was unaware that he
They discharged Lindy from the hospital in the morning. She slept in the ward with her kids as they did not want to leave her side. Liam slept on the chair in the waiting room. After they discharged her, they went out of the hospital together.“Take the kids home Liam, I have to go somewhere.” Liam looked at her trying to see her mood, but she gave nothing away. He nodded. “Come on guys, let’s go home.” He told the kids, and they got into the car. “Why is mommy not coming with us?” asked their oldest.“She has to go somewhere and will meet us at home.” Liam explained, Lindy went to the window and smiled at her kids. “I will see you guys soon; I promise not to be long.” She assured them then moved back, and the car drove out the hospital parking lot.She stood there watching until it was out of sight then she took out her phone and made a call to someone. Soon the call connected. “Yes?”
Liam When I got home, I called the nanny to come and stay with the kids for a couple of hours. Something was not sitting right with me; I could not take my mind off Lindy and where she might have gone. The woman was just discharged from the hospital, what could not wait until she was hundred percent alright before taking care of it?When the nanny arrived, the kids were already showed and going to bed since they did not sleep much last night. I told her I will be back in a couple of hours and then went out to my car. I thought of calling Lindy before driving and asking her where she is but thought against it.She doesn’t want to talk to me right now and I doubt she will tell me where she is. I took out my phone and went to find my iPhone. I was not ready for the location it gave me, “No, no, no this can’t be.” I drove out fast out of my yard racing to get to Mia’s house.What is Lindy doing there, I
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. Ate the three tins of beef stew when she was hugry but soon ran out o
“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
The following day all the news outlets have published a picture of a business owner that was sponsoring five top students from five different universities to complete programs of their choice for free and offered them employment as soon as they finished their studies.They posted different pictures of the business owner with the different students in the newspapers. But one caught picture caught Drake’s attention, and it was a picture of Jason with Andy, Lindy’s firstborn. 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. Jason’s visit shook her to the core that when Drake
