Just Got Lucky (BOOK 1) 51
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. She’s either living her life in fear or crying about losing someone she loves.She doesn’t deserve any of this at all.I feel like, bad luck is in our favor and she is the one repaying for the things that I did to Jolene. For some reason, I can’t help but think that this bad luck is all because of me.I wish there was something I can do to make her smile so happily again and live her life with no fear. She’s always been strong and honest, and those are one of the things I admired about her. But now, she’s just vulnerable to her fear and her weakness is showing every time she gets down on her knee one problem after another.When we landed in Canada and headed right away to the hospital where Lindy’s mother was. Lindy looked so lost and how so many things are ha

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
Just Got Lucky (BOOK 1) 57
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

58L I N D Y As soon as I opened my eyes, I found myself inside a room with a bright white ceiling over me. I tried to move on top of my head and felt a little lightheaded as I begin to sit up on the mattress.“Oh, thank goodness you are awake!” I see Doctor Fox approaching me. “You got me all so worried. Are you okay?”I stare at her, “W-What happened?”“You passed out yesterday. Are you hurt somewhere?”I shake my head, “No. I just feel a little lightheaded. Am I in the hospital?”She nods, “Yes. They called me up since I am your ob-gyn. I was so worried about you and so is Milo. I called him right away when I found out you fainted.”I smiled weakly, “Thank you, Doctor Fox.”I look out of the window and it was already morning. The last time I remember I was in the police station and Martha was….I gasped, “Where’s Martha?” She looks at me with rueful eyes, “Oh dear, she is still in prison.”“But she didn’t do it, Doctor Fox! I know she didn’t because she couldn’t!”“Okay, I know y

68L I N D Y “Welcome home Lindy!!!” I was taken aback as soon as the party poppers popped that came out of nowhere and I see everyone in this house greeting me with smiles on their faces. I see Lucius, Jasper, Silas, and Rowan who came all the way to celebrate this day with me which really means so much to me after what I have been through. It was the kind of support system that I needed after what happened to me and how these people are showing me an unconditional kind of love. These guys, whom I have always considered as my older brothers from other mothers, are all here and this means the world to me. I see Martha who ran towards me in a split second and hugged me tightly with tears flooding in her eyes which made me cry too because this scene is very much making me so emotional. She hugs me tight as she says the words, "I am so glad to see you again. I have missed you. I have missed you so much. I missed you a lot."She makes me bawl my eyes out as I hug onto her tighter, "I m

67L I N D YSaint Francis Sanitarium had a different way of treatment which had been pretty much helpful for my recovery. They also had strict rules about visitors, no one was really allowed to see the patients who are under treatments like me to avoid problems, complications, and miscalculations. There were no cellphones allowed inside and Wi-Fi as well to avoid any social media. Although they allowed gifts from the outside, it was still hard not to be able to see everyone. I didn’t let my negative emotions get the worst of me because I had to be strong for myself and my kids and for everyone else who is waiting for me to head out of this mental facility. I faced this battle head on and even though it was hard for me to accept the changes that I have had, emotionally and mentally, I am still very thankful for the support that I am getting from my family, friends, and of course Milo.Milo has been sending me hand written letters every day which is something I always look forward to

66M I L OWhat did she mean by that?Did she mean it literally?Silence, there was silence between us and I was just utterly and indescribably confused. She didn’t answer while her eyes were looking all over the entire house. Her eyes looked like she was searching for something inside the house and at the same time, she looked like she was in distraught. She looked so lost, sad, and completely puzzled by her own thoughts inside her head.“Are you alright baby?” I holler.She nods and looks back at me, “Yes. Just…. Just a little… awake.”I tried to ignore what I heard from her about hearing them in her head and just walked towards her, “I thought you fell asleep?”She shakes her head, “I can’t.”“Did you even try?”She nods. “Yes. These days it’s just hard for me to sleep.”“Should we visit the doctor?”“No.” Her voice was firm. “No need for that.”I take her hand to mine, “Hey, let’s go back to sleep. Shall we?”She nods and smiles before we walked up to the bedroom.I still hear the

65M I L OThey were so tiny.Very tiny.So fragile. So delicately adorable. I stare at them from outside the glass window and my heart swells with these crazy emotions that are building up inside me the more I stare at how tiny and angelic they looked. Staring at them, I did not know that I could love more my sweet Lindy for carrying my little soldiers who are now battling with their own lives. I had no idea that these tiny creatures would actually make me feel much more whole in some way. I glance at the tubes and machines that were surrounding them to help them survive and grow and I know they are fighters and that they will grow stronger. I know. I know they will. I watch as their chests go up and down while they were breathing as they were moving their tiny hands around and subtly kicked their small feet. It was amazing how they looked and how their tiny movements could actually surprise me and amaze me at the same time. Absentmindedly, I am staring at them with a smile on m

64M I L OI laugh humorlessly as I shake my head sideways, not wanting to believe what I have just heard. No, this cannot be possible. There is absolutely no way. No. I had no idea that Ricky was this selfish and this heartless with everything that had happened. He is and has always been only thinking about himself and no other else. He only and always wants to save himself from everything when the going gets rough then runs away and hides like a frightful little child and pass the blame onto others so he can clear his name.This man is despicable, absolutely and horrifyingly greedy.“I am so sorry.” Ricky apologizes but the more he says it the more it makes me angry.“Ricky! How could you so selfish?!” Gwyneth screams at him..“Of course!” I exclaimed. “Of course you would say it’s me! You freaking asshole!” I pressed my clenched fist against the center of my forehead. I groan in frustration and in anger because I want to hit this person so badly. I want to hurt him as hard as I ca

63M I L OEver since my argument with Gwyneth, we never really talked as much as we used to. I understand why she was feeling that way and I understand why she had avoided me since she hated what I have done. Of all people, I thought she would be the one who would understand me because she is my sibling, but then I was wrong.She made me feel even worst. I tried to understand where her anger was coming from and obviously, she was gutted that I said and did those things to Jolene. I know she could not believe me that I treated Jolene that way because she has always hated it when I do things that hurt women since I was brought up by women too.I wish my words could change anything to what she sees me now but then I know I can never take back the things I did and the things I said to her.Sometimes I wish she could have understood me and why I had to do it.
