Just Got Lucky (BOOK 1) 50
50L I N D Y “Do you think it’s really Jolene?” I ask him.Milo shrugs his shoulder, “I don’t know. Fuck, I wish I knew but I don’t know Lindy. I have been having that problem for days now after I got it and I can’t seem to think of anyone who could do it.”“What do you mean?”He breathes, “I got the same gift as well days ago with the same box color and ribbon.” His eyes look lost. “The handwriting is most definitely hers and I know because I saw it a lot in her paintings.”I sigh heavily as I tried to tell myself that there was no longer any reason to be jealous of Jolene. There was no point in getting jealous because Milo had chosen me now and we are having our own babies soon. Moreover, she is only just a part of his past that he wants to forget and get rid of. But there’s still this voice in my head that tells me that I am still freaking jealous. Then there is this fear creeping somewhere in my mind which makes me worried that Milo might suddenly do the same thing to me that

51L I N D Y “What?” Milo gapes. “What do you mean he knew about the gift?” “He was rambling about how I shouldn’t live life in fear and then he brought up something about a gift.” I mumbled with my words.“How did Griffin bring it up?”“He went like you don’t deserve to live a life filled with fear. The gift must have made you feel scared. Those were his words Milo and it’s driving me nuts just thinking and wondering about it right after he threatened me with his knife again.” I cry and cry for more. “Oh my God.” Milo commented. “Are you home? Are you safe?” His voice thickens with worry and fear. “I am home. I feel safe here. Bailey was there to help me and Griffin had run away as soon as she arrived. I was so glad she arrived..” I replied. “Made sure you locked all doors, okay?” I nod even though he cannot see me, “Okay. I already did that.”“Jesus Christ, I don’t know what Griffin has something to do with Jolene. I mean I have known her for years and she never mentioned the

52M I L OThey say things happen for a reason but why are bad things happening to Lindy?She’s been awfully nice to everyone and had always managed to have that happy smile on her face, but lately, she no longer has that smile.

53L I N D Y When Milo and Jasper left for London, I was gutted to see them go but then I needed to understand that they had their priorities to handle too. Milo apologized for not being able to tell me right away since he was caught up in the situation with my mother. But I wanted him to know that I understood.I stayed with my mother inside her hospital room while my father was assisting Avery’s needs. She needed support and I was beyond happy to see my own father volunteering to help Avery. It means he had forgiven her and I am really glad that they have managed to put the bad things behind them. On the other hand, as much as I worry for my mother, I was worried about Avery’s condition too since she was really bleeding earlier. She was even crying when she saw the blood running from her leg and it was truly heartbreaking to witness. She wanted the baby to live and I love how she takes full responsibility for this as a mother to her own child even though what happened to her.I am

54M I L O “Honey?” I pulled my head up and found mum standing in the doorway of the kitchen.“Hey, mum.” I greeted with a smile.She begins to walk towards me, “You look exhausted.”“I am. A little bit. Things are just crazy lately.”“Is it about Lindy?” She questions while sitting down next to me. “Sort of.”“Why? Did you fight?”“No.” I shake my head. “We’re fine. It’s just things that have been going on with her life right now and I can’t help but blame myself for what she’s going through. Then there’s her mother who’s in a critical condition.”“Oh, Lord.” Mom commented while gasping. “What happened?”“Before I came back here, her mom had to undergo surgery.”“Well, how is she? How is Lindy?”“Lindy said her mom’s surgery was successful and she’s stable now. I’m more worried for Lindy. She’s going through so much. When her mom was admitted, her twin had to deliver her baby before her due date.”“She’s one tough girl.”I nod, “I know mom. I really admire her and I don’t want to

55L I N D YAfter the fight with dad, I didn’t talk to him because of his unfair justice. When mom finally recovered, I felt the happiest. She was stable and needed a day or two to rest before she can finally be discharged. I spent most of my time with mom but had awkward moments with dad inside. I didn’t want mom to worry about what was going on so I played it cool. I visited Avery in the morning too and eat with her for lunch and dinner since she was always alone. Avery gave birth to a baby girl and she named her Dahlia Rose Swanepoel. She said that the Rose represented her since she has a lot of pricks like the thorns on the stem while I represented the flower dahlia which symbolizes inner strength, grace, and honesty. It was a very sweet thing of her to do. Even though Dahlia had to be left behind in the NICU department for further observation and treatments, Avery was a one proud mom. She instantly loved her daughter as soon as she laid her eyes on baby Dahlia.I am proud of A

56L I N D YI hurriedly messaged Milo about the horrible gift and he instantly got worried for me and our babies. It was a natural reaction from him but what was more surprising is that he was crying and kept blaming himself if anything could happen to me and our babies inside me. His words were, “I will never be able to forgive myself if something happens to the three of you.”His words were firm and I don’t want him to lose hope.I called the police over to my house to investigate the whole thing that just happened. A detective called Detective Martin came over and asked me a few questions about what I knew. I told him everything about Griffin and he told me that it could be possible that it came from him since he had mentioned it to me before. But then he questioned why it didn’t make any sense and who Jolene was. He asked me questions about her and what could be Griffin's possible motive towards me but then I can’t tell him because it involves Milo’s past.I don’t want him to kn

57L I N D Y “What?” Milo sounded much more surprised than me as we talked over the phone. I know he would have a hard time believing this too because he has known Martha. I know that he knows that Martha can never and could never ever do this to me.“Martha was behind all this?” He adds,“That’s based on Griffin’s statement.” I answered. He took a long pause, “But that doesn’t make any sense.”“I know and I don’t think it’s Martha.”“It cannot be her.” He agrees with me.“I have been telling the police that but they don’t trust me! I have known her since I was young. There’s just no way!” I tell him.“Relax, okay?” Milo reminded me. “I am sure Griffin only said that to point the blame to another person. It cannot be Martha.”There was another pause.“But…” I trailed off.“But?”I took a second and sighed heavily as my head begins to hurt just thinking about this whole situation that I am in, “I’m just confused why Griffin knows her name.”“Did she ever mention to you that she knew
