THE MEMORIES HE HAD

" Is that Fiona?" I was suddenly brought out of my thoughts by Jane's voice. Shit! She was going to start thinking things.

" I'm, it's…" I couldn't even form words to say to her, what do I say to a woman whom I'd been trying to mend things with when she caught me staring at the picture of another woman?

" Do you still miss her?" She asked and just by the way she sounded I knew that I had just fucked things up.

" Look Jane it's not what you think," how did that even sound to my own ears?

" You don't have to explain things to me," she said with a shrug and I didn't like that one bit.

" You're making conclusions that aren't true," I tried to explain,

" I just said you don't have to explain anything to me, Markus, it's your life, you don't have to answer to me, pictures are a way to connect to people we miss, they're memories, we wish they were here even if they hurt us, so it's okay," No it was not, she wasn't even looking at me, how could it be okay.

    THE INTERROGATION " I said what I said, what are you going to do about it?" I didn't give her the chance to keep talking as I held her by her arm, she tried to pull away but my grip was tight.I pulled my phone from my pocket and called the detective." Come to my house immediately, I think we have a suspect," I said as I ended the call and dragged her into the sitting room." What do you mean suspect? What are you talking about?" She asked still struggling to free her hand but l wasn't having it." If you fucking move again, you wouldn't have the fucking chance to be proved right or wrong, I'll just set you on fire, don't try me," She knew what was better for her because she stopped struggling.I pushed her to sit on the couch, while she just watched me with her hands rubbing where I held like she was bleeding, she should just pray the interrogation proves her innocent, or else she would have blood flowing down that skin for real." What is wrong with you and your sick ass crazy bit

    WHO COULD IT BE?" Are you being serious right now?" You want to blame me, why would I want to kill Preggy?" She asked fuming in anger." You just said you wished she was dead," I reminded her." That was because I was angry you fucker!!" She yelled." And your anger at me breaking up with you could have made you want to kill Jane." " I thought you were smart but you sound so dumb,"" Watch it, woman,"" Can you both just calm down," the inspector said, looking between Sofia and me." What is your name?" The inspector says as he turns to the maid who is cowering at the corner." Grace," She stuttered trying her best to hide her fear but nothing was working, she was already on the spot." Where were you at the time of the fire?" He repeated the question he had asked several times." I was in the laundry room, I mean the kitchen,..." She said as she twisted her fingers so no one could tell she was nervous. " The laundry room or the kitchen?" The detective asked." The laundry room,""

    THE DEAD RETURNED I got dressed in big sweatpants and a hoodie and then I took my purse and went out of the room. I didn't care how I looked, all I wanted was to be where I could get answers. I got into the car and drove off heading to the location I had picked. I just hoped I wasn't wasting my time.When I got to the bridge where we had agreed to meet, I parked my car and stepped out. I could already see him waiting for me. He had his back to me, so I walked to him.He must have noticed me coming behind him because he turned." Hi," " I didn't come here to exchange pleasantries with you, so I'm just going to go straight to the point, tell your wife that whatever she's doing she has to stop," " What are you talking about?" He asked with confusion written on his face, did he expect me to believe he didn't know what his wife was up to? Had she just been using him like her obedient puppy?" Tell your wife to stay clear of me and my child, I don't know what games she's playing, but u

    CHOOSING HERI looked between Markus and the woman who had at one time been his everything, it was as if seeing her was all a dream. I couldn't believe that she was in front of me. Just some days ago Markus was telling me of how he was over her. Could he keep to those words now that she had somehow found her way into his life?He looked as surprised as I was, he hadn't moved or said anything and none of them had noticed my presence.Should I make myself known or should I just go?" Markus," I called but he didn't respond.Fiona turned to me with a sharp look in her eyes. I was familiar with this type of look, but I wasn't going to let her intimidate me. She didn't have the right to be here." Markus, are you okay?" I asked and to my utmost surprise when Markus spoke I didn't recognize his voice nor did I believe the words he just said to me. " Jane, wait outside, " What did he need to speak to her about? She caused him pain and now she was standing right in front of him, what more di

    THE HOCKEY GAME I was awoken by the ringing of my phone, I didn't know why but my whole body ached. It must be the stress of seeing Markus's first love again, the fear that filled my body knowing that I could lose him and even myself.The phone kept ringing and I grudgingly stretched my hand to get it. The screen displayed Hardin. I've been a really bad friend, I've not spoken to him for quite a long time and still, he cared to check up on me." Hey Hardin," I said but immediately cleared my throat when I realized my voice was rough." Were you sleeping?" He asked and when I turned to the clock I saw that it was almost afternoon. Why did I sleep for so long? Why didn't anybody wake me up?I rose from the bed with my phone to my ear as I walked towards the bathroom." I'm so sorry Hardin, there has been a lot going on in my life and it's all weighing on me," I said to him with a sigh as I opened the bathroom door and got in, as I passed the mirror on the wall I couldn't help but look

    BACK TO HIS EX LOVER I just couldn't focus after Markus left, my mind kept wondering what must have gone wrong. I wanted to call him but I stopped myself, whatever had made him run off like that must be serious and I wouldn't want to bother him.I willed myself to focus back on the game and keep on cheering for Hardin.The game ended with a 6-4 The Black Eagles won and I shouted at the top of my lungs glad that my friend won.Fans were cheering and running over to the players while both teams still congratulated each other, it was good to watch.I was surprised when Hardin left all his fans and made his way to me." I'm glad we won, you know I was worried we wouldn't win this first time you came to watch me, but I guess you're my good lucky charm," He said as he bumped his fist with mine. He looked around as if he was looking for something and I was confused not until he spoke." Where is your Mr possessive?" He asked, referring to Markus and I couldn't help but laugh, was that what

    CAUGHT IN THE ACT When I got home Markus was already back, I knew that because his car was parked outside. I took a deep breath and got out of the car then I walked slowly into the house. I was taking my time because each step I took felt like I was walking closer to heartbreak.I opened the door and got into the house and surprisingly I was hit with the smell of food, I almost forgot what was bothering me." Hey, I've been waiting for you," Markus said as soon as he saw me, he had a smile on his face, and as much as I tried to mirror his look it wasn't working. " Are you okay?" Markus asked as he left what he was doing and walked to me." Did that guy say anything to offend you?" He asked me, referring to Hardin, if only he knew he was the reason for my sad mood." You ran off without telling me, I was worried, where did you go?" I asked him hoping he wouldn't lie to me, I knew how crazy exes could be, for all, I knew everything might be a setup. I wanted Markus to reassure me, I

    MARRY ME Jane had never been to my office so I was beyond shocked to see her right in front of me. " Jane, what are you doing here?" I asked as I moved away from Fiona and walked towards her." I was around the area and thought I should stop by, good thing the receptionist let me in, what is she doing here?" Jane asked me as she looked to where Fiona was standing.I didn't even know how to start explaining to her." Oh, didn't he tell you we were together yesterday?" Fiona asked and I felt like snapping her neck. I didn't care that we shared something but right now she was overstepping her boundaries." He did, told me how desperate for his attention you were," I was shocked, I didn't remember telling her anything, Fiona also seemed shocked, she didn't expect that I was going to tell Jane. Not like I did tell Jane anything." So I'm going to say this one last time, stay away from him, unlike you who didn't care about him I love him and our unborn child," I felt like I was just being

    A FAMILY " Dad! Dad! save me Mom is going to kill me," Alexandra shouted as she ran up the stairs to her father like she always does." I've warned you several times not to touch the cookies until it was time to serve them" Each time I baked cookies she always found a way to sneak into the kitchen and disappear with one, she was just like her father. They were a team at taking cookies from the kitchen." Have you seen Alexandra?" I asked Markus who was seated on the bed pretending like he didn't hear me, without even getting his answer I could already see Alexandra hiding behind her father's back." No, I haven't seen her, Why?" Like always, he'll cover for her." So there's no one behind you?" I asked as I started walking slowly to where she was hiding behind her father." So who's this?" I started tickling her through the sheet that she had covering her. She broke into a fit of giggling." Mom stop," " Will you pick cookies again?" " No Mom, Dad save me already," " Okay, okay,"

    DEATH " Please I'll do anything, just let me know where my daughter is," I said to her hoping she wouldn't end the call. I didn't recognize the voice of the lady speaking." Listen to me carefully," She said and I nodded then realizing she couldn't see me I spoke." Yes, I'm listening." " Don't you try any funny business, if you do, your daughter dies." I heard crying in the background as if they were trying to emphasize their point." I'll do whatever you say, as long as you give me my daughter," " Okay, I'm going to send you an address, make sure you come alone, no police, just you," " No funny business, I swear," I said, trying to plead with her." I'm glad we have an understanding, because I'm sure my tigers wouldn't mind munching on her little flesh," My heart skipped, I couldn't dare imagine the image of tigers feasting on my baby.The phone suddenly got disconnected at the same time Rena opened the door.I almost forgot I was warned not to tell anyone the information I had

    THE STRANGE CALLERJane has refused to talk to anyone even after she woke up. We were now home. I had to call the doctor to come check up on her and he confirmed that she was okay. What was happening to her was all because of the shock.She has refused to eat, no matter how many times or what type of food was brought to her.The last thing she said was I want my baby. After that, she refused to speak.Now I was trying to get her into the house. She wouldn't listen, she had been sitting and waiting in front of the house." Jane, let's go inside, please this isn't going to help with finding Alexandra, I can't focus on you like this please," She finally listened as she grudgingly stood up and walked past me not uttering a single word.I sighed as I turned to go inside but stopped when I noticed someone walking towards the house." You've got to be kidding me," I muttered as my eyes shot daggers at him." What do you think you're doing here?" " I'm not here to see you, I'm here for my fr

    KIDNAPPED The world around me became dark, everything around me was covered in darkness like I was being cast a spell. Alexandra wasn't in her room, she wasn't with Markus then where was she?" Ma'am, ma'am," I felt someone shaking me but my mind was too clouded. The person didn't stop which made me eventually come back to my senses." Alexandra, Alexandra," That was the first thing I said as soon as I realized myself and remembered my situation." Go! Go! Tell the security to search the whole house, search everywhere, my daughter is in this house," I said as the maid quickly kicked into action.If I found out Markus was playing some silly games with me I swear I was going to chop off his balls.I went to Alexandra's room to search for her, for all I knew she might be in her room.I opened the door and rushed to her bed but she wasn't there. Alexandra was still a baby, she couldn't sit or crawl, I would have concluded that she crawled from my room to hers but she couldn't. Even if sh

    MISSING CHILDI have never pushed someone with so much force the way I just pushed Markus, I didn't know where the power came from." How dare you? What gave you the right to think you could touch me?!" I yelled in anger." What? Do you think you could just throw me and pick me however you want? I'm not your toy, the next time you think of ever touching me, know that you might lose an organ and I will not be held responsible." I was beyond angry and I needed to calm myself before I did something stupid.Markus was looking at me with shock in his eyes as if he couldn't believe what just happened, did he expect me to run into his arms like a woman in heat? He's got to be kidding me.Without sparing him another glance I ran upstairs. Did he think that just because he had the power to tell me not to see my daughter he could blackmail me and make me do whatever he wanted?I'm a changed woman, he changed me.I opened Alexandra's room and she was sleeping so I quietly walked to her. She had

    ANGER KISS I stood in front of his house as I scanned my eyes around, well it was a beautiful building, I had no grudge against his house, I was just here for him.I rang the doorbell and not up to a minute the door came open. I was sure he wasn't expecting me, maybe Jane.The look on his face told me he would rather speak to pigs than spend a minute of his time talking to me." What are you doing here?" He asked with a hard voice, I didn't care if he was sad or happy to meet me." Well is that how you welcome the father of your friend's child?" His jaw ticked but he didn't say a word. I knew what I was doing. I wanted to let him know that whatever happy ending story he had about Jane in his head needed to be wiped. I had the upper hand here. I have the child Jane is in love with and it's just because I don't want her to hate me more than she already does I would have told her that my condition is for her to stop seeing this man." I didn't invite you here, so you might as well go b

    NOT FRIENDS I looked at Markus like he had gone mad, he was looking for another way to hurt me. A few days ago Markus didn't want me near my child, so why did he want me back in the mansion? With what had happened between us I had to be very careful, he couldn't be trusted anymore because once bitten twice shy." How is this of benefit to you?" I asked because he definitely had a reason why he was doing this that he was not telling me." This is for my child, you were right, I shouldn't separate you from her just because I didn't want you, she should have her mom," Was I dreaming? Markus agreeing with me on something was something I never pictured even in a thousand years. This was all too good to be true." So what you're trying to say is I can see Alexandra whenever I want, like even right now?" I asked, if what he was saying was true I might as well go see my daughter now." Yes," I didn't need more convincing, I stood up, picked up my handbag, and left. As long as nobody was sto

    ANOTHER DEAL Without thinking I rushed to him and threw a punch at him." Markus!" I heard Jane shout but I was ready with my second punch to land on his stupid face but fortunately for him someone stopped me." Fucking bastard, you've refused to stay out of my business," I said with anger boiling inside of me. Jane rushed to him as she took her kerchief from her bag to clean the blood that was on the side of his lips. The sight didn't sit well with me." Markus, what is wrong with you? Why do you want to hurt me so much? First my child, now you're hurting my friends too, what did I ever do to you?" Jane asked with tears forming in her eyes." Jane it's okay, there's no need to cry I'm okay there's nothing to worry about," I watched in agony as the Hardin guy brought his hand to clean Jane's tears. I fisted my hands trying to control myself or else I was going to start punching him till his face was covered in blood.I promised Jane that I would always wipe her tears, I didn't like h

    THE COURTROOM I was standing in front of the courtroom dreading going inside, stepping into this room meant I had officially given them the power to decide over my daughter, I didn't know what decision they were going to make. But I was scared.With all the willpower I had I opened the door and stepped in. Hardin wanted to come with me but I told him not to, he didn't like the idea but for my sake, he just had to agree.As I entered the courtroom surprisingly Markus was already in the room with my baby girl held in his arms. Our eyes locked for a moment before I broke the contact. I didn't want to look at him, it was just a painful reminder of what had happened between us, what he made happen.I took my seat as we awaited the case to start.Soon enough I was asked to move to the front where I would stand to answer some questions, if necessary. The judge entered the courtroom and everyone rose. My heartbeat increased and my palm started sweating, this was really happening." This cou
