I can't believe I'm here right now. Never in my life did I think I would be standing in front of this mirror yet not see myself looking at me."you look beautiful Mika " i heard Monique speak as i looked at both my sisters through the mirror.I sighed. " Am I making a mistake?"They moved closer to me and made me sit down. "This is what you've always dreamed about. You have wanted this man for as long as you met him, however, you need to ask yourself if that is worth it. Because if you want to back out then you know Monique and I will always support you." Shine said."That's true. And if you need sometime away then you can come and stay with either of us and it's not a problem."I looked down to my hands, "I don't want to disappoint dad. And maybe things will be different when he gets to know me.""Sis, if that is what you want then we will be beside you every step of the way. Just know that there is no shame in walking out if things are toxic and negative for you."We heard someone
"So Mika, how are things going with Cole?" Monique my sister asked me while we were on a video call as well as Shine my other sister."well, he still avoids me like a plague. He doesn't even acknowledge that I live in the same house.""Have you tried talking to him?" Shine asked."I tried about a month ago but it just made it worse. I will find a note alright telling me he has gone for a trip. In the last two weeks, he has taken 4 trips out of town. It's like he is volunteering for all the trips to avoid me."They both had weird expressions on their faces, showing that they had questions."what? You both look like you have alot to ask.""Mika, you know we love you and we also know that you have had feelings or a crush on this guy for some time. But, a crush does not always mean that you will end up together. I mean he is handsome and medicine to sore eyes but, he is bad on the inside." Monique said."Not to forget selfish." Shine added."Yes, selfish too." Monique agreed. " has he tak
Cole's PovAfter the fight with my dad, I went to my old room to cool off. I was so mad at my father for choosing my side. I have always wanted to please my father and do right by him. For some reason it has never been enough. I keep pushing but its like he wants more each time. I might always want his approval, the one thing I refuse to curve on is Mika. He keeps forcing me to get to know her but, I think she is just a selfish person who thought I could be a challenge she could win over. My heart could never be hers because mine belongs to another. She is beautiful, I will give her that for sure. With her big beautiful eyes and smooth skin. Wait! What am saying? I am not attracted to her and that's just it."Who are you talking to?" I heard a soft voice behind me.I turned around quickly and opened my arms for her. "No one my darling just needed to be alone for sometime."She pulled back slightly. "Another fight with your dad?""ya and I just needed to be alone before I could join
The following morning after getting little sleep, Cole was woken up by his family coming to his home."Did she come home?" His mom asked as soon as she walked in."Good morning to you too mom. No she did not come home and I searched all the places I could think of.""This is not the time for your smart mouth." His father said in an annoyed tone."Maybe we should inform the police." Chris said looking at dad."Don't you have to be missing for 24 hours before a report is filed?" I asked."Really? Now you want to follow the law when it concerns your wife?! When in any other situation you would throw in our name to get what you want?" Chris said annoyed while looking at his brother."Hey! I was only asking. And didn't I tell you last night not to talk to me like that?" He said back annoyed too."Oh! You mean the time you practically accused me of having an affair with your wife?!""What?!" "Cole!" His parents practically shouted at the same time."I did not accuse you of having an affair.
Mika's povI woke up with a pounding headache, I looked around and realized that I was back in my room at Cole's house. I can't really call this place my home cause it honestly doesn't feel like it. I sat up and slowly got up as not to make the ache any worse. I did my morning routine and took a hot shower. I took my time in the shower. Things are a little bit blurry in my mind. I can't really remember most of the time I was away.Getting out of the shower, I got dressed in a short yellow undress, a happy colour, the opposite of what I was feeling right now. One thing I remembered for sure is that I had decided to ask for a divorce. I just don't know how to bring it up with Cole, he will surely be mad and hate me more than he already does. I went down to the kitchen and got some painkillers, I then got myself some coffee."I see you are doing so much better than you were yesterday."I let out a small scream of fright and turned towards the sound of the voice. "Maria you scared me. Y
" So have you spoken to dad since your meeting?" Shine asked.We were currently on our joint video call with Monique as well."Not really.""Mika, its been more than a month. Why don't you sort things out with him. You know you have always been daddy's baby, this should be killing him too." Monique said.I sighed. " It is killing me too, I am just mad at him.""Why?" Shine asked.I gave her a 'are you serious look' but, I still responded. " For a long time, you guys kept encouraging me to talk to him. Let him know how I feel about the marriage and that it was toxic for me. The one time I find my voice and tell him I want out, he picked his friend over me.""Mika, you did not talk to dad as we had suggested in the first place." Shine said."We were suggesting or rather telling you to have a one on one talk with d
Cole's povSince the meeting where Mika dropped her bomb to our parents, I've been trying to make things better between us. But, she is not having it at all. Even when I went knocking on her door to let her know that her pizza had arrived, I wasn't expecting to get a glimpse of her body. She had water running down her body and the little towel she had on wasn't hiding much. I wanted to grab her and take it off of her, knew for a fact that she would have punched me in the troat if I did or maybe even kicked me in the balls and those are very prized jewels that need to be intact. Instead I decided that just looking and imagining what I would do to her if she allowed me to touch her. She snapped me out of my thoughts by rudely asking me what I wanted, I didn't expect her to agree when I asked her to come downstairs. I was setting up our plates with a bit of everything since we had quite alot of food. I was removing the tomatoes from her salad when I heard her clear her throat. I took o
Mika's povOn our way home, I noticed that Cole was mostly silent. "Are you okay? You have been silent since we left your parents house.""Ya, I'm okay." He said but he seemed to be off.I decide to let it go. The ride was pretty silent until we reached at the house. Since he was acting up I figured things would be like before, so I opened the door and exited the car. I got whatever I could carry and turned to walk into the house. Only I bumped into a chest, I avoided his eyes and just stepped to the side and walked into the house. "That was a long picnic." Maria said smiling when I walked into the kitchen.I giggled. "It was but, we went for dinner at the in laws home.""Ohhh. That's nice. I hope you had fun. Would you like me to prepare anything for you?""I did" I sighed. "No, I don't need anything. Will just head up to take a shower."He was standing there watching as I turned. I just let him be and headed to take my shower. I was dressing when someone knocked but, I was in no m
Life can be a rollercoaster, so many highs and lows but, all are worth it. I was once a girl with a crash on a boy. The boy never liked me but, we ended up married. If you had told me that we would be in love,I would have said no. Here we are madly in love and I see myself growing old with my husband. After Ajani turned one, I discovered I was pregnant with my second child. A girl we named Star. She was as easy as her big brother. Speaking of big brothers, Ajani took the role like a champ. I was scared he would think that I didn't love him after the baby was here but they grow up close and he's protective.When Ajani was four and Star three, we discovered I was pregnant with number three, a boy who we named Dale. We agreed this was the last baby.Maggy was sentenced to life without the possibility of parole. Her mother was given twenty-five to life with a possibility of parole. It was a sad moment for Maggy's father as you could see him hear all the things his family had done behind
My life has been a whole movie. The ambulance was recorded and the sound of my baby was aired as he entered the world. Watching all that has been a rollercoaster of emotions. The truth coming out about who black widow is has also brought so much drama. She has so many charges against her that she will spend the rest of her life. The worst part is it turns out her mom knew and had been supporting all that.That was one of the shocks. She has been portraying herself as a sweet woman. We ended up finding out she was one of the people who kept updating her of what was happening. There were also cops,feds, some politicians were all arrested in connection to this case. It is one of the biggest cases to ever be trialed.A part of me feels pity for her and a part of me wants her to pay. She will be charged separately on all charges. It's a life time of charges.Her entire compound was raided and even their family business is been investigated. So far the father seems to have no involvement
Mika's povI could feel a slight headache as I woke up. The place was really quite and as I opened my eyes trying to figure out where I was but I couldn't."Finally the princess is finally awake."Turned towards the sound of the voice weakly. I felt so much anger when I saw who it was.Maggy.That b**ch! Of course it was her."Are you surprised to see me?" She asked with a smile on her face."You are so predictable. We all knew you were behind everything." I said to her.She laughed loudly. Trying to sound like a movie villain type of laugh, I think in her mind she was sounding intimidating."It's nice how everyone thought they knew me. If you knew how much power I have, you would be scared."The metal door opened, "ma'am your attention is required." A man that gave me the creeps said. He looked dirty from not taking care of himself, he looked like he was high on drugs or something but, I couldn't be sure.She looked annoyed to be interrupted, she sighed and rubbed her fore head."Mus
Cole's povThis whole thing has been really annoying. I have hired so many people to find her and I don't understand why they can't. I am still in touch with her family. They are equally worried about her.When the power cut,I didn't want to leave Mika in the house but I know she's safe inside the house. And I didn't want her hurting herself or getting sick with the dirt in the basement with cables. I should really get people to clean that place too and clearly so measures need to be taken too.I got down there and found my employees getting instructions on the phone."What happened?" I asked."The cables were disconnected sir. We are on the phone with the electrician who is giving us instructions on how to connect them.""Okay. Do that quickly and get someone to have this place cleared and secured. Do we know who did it?""No sir. But it seems it's someone who knew what they were doing because only specific parts of the estate were hit."Mika! I immediately thought."One of you come
'Yesterday, a shooting took place one of the biggest malls on the island. Five were injured with one still in critical condition....'"You should really stop watching that." Cole said from behind me.I looked behind at my husband. "I can't. I feel like it's my fault,she wants to hurt me and others got hurt."He moved towards me. "Baby, it is not your fault. I know you want to blame yourself but please don't. It's Maggy who should feel guilty. ""Babe, imagine what Malcolm is going through.""I know baby. And once she is caught, she will pay for all she's doing. I really wished it didn't get this far and she just got help.""I do too. I know you loved her." I touched his face. He looked in thought."I think at some point I was in love with her or it's what I thought love was. But now I'm really in love and I like this version of love better." He gave me a kiss.~~~~~~~~I was panicking because I couldn't get through to Cole and I was pacing back and forth. I had just heard on the news
Cole has been acting paranoid since all this started. He has increased on security, I not let out of his sight or someone else is following me around. It's quite annoying having someone follow you around most of the time.He even works from home unless he really has to go in person. Again so annoying. I guess the only plus to it is I get random sex through out the day. And I make sure to make him work for it, which isn't a punishment cause I know he's enjoying it.Today we are meeting Maggy's parents and husband and Cole is super nervous. I can only imagine having to explain things to the spouse of who you had an affair with. At least my in laws will be there so hopefully things will not get out of hand.We arrived at Maggy's childhood home, we found my in laws waiting and I was immediately greeted with hugs by them. Cole and I walked hand in hand.Maggy's parents were sitting on the couch opposite Cole and I, my in-laws sat on the one right beside us."So you called for this meeting
For the past few days, Cole has been kind of walking around on egg shells. It's like he doesn't know how to act towards me.So I decided to lighten things up. He was working in his office so I prepared him a meal and set the table. I went to his office to let him know. I knocked and when he told me to enter."Dinner is ready." I said by the door."Okay I will be there shortly."I stood there looking at him, he was so focused on his laptop. He lifted his eyes to look at me. "Did I forget to do something."I didn't answer,I just walked towards him and he moved his chair back following my movements. I sat on his lap and ran my hand in his hair. He closed his eyes while humming in satisfaction. He also wrapped one hand around my waist and one rested on my belly."You've been moving on egg shells around me. Did you change your mind about us?"He looked at me confused. He raised the hand that was on my belly and touched my face, he then pulled me close and gave me a kiss. " I can never chan
For some reason, I had a very peaceful sleep. There was less kicks from the baby, it's as though he knew that daddy was near by. I woke up abit late than usual, I took my bath and freshened up then went downstairs. I found Cole sitting at the counter."Good morning.""Morning, I didn't want to wake you up.""Thank you. I actually slept abit more and this little guy wasn't playing soccer in mummy's belly last night." I said while rubbing my tummy and smiling. The smile quickly faded when I saw sadness in his eyes. "I'm sorry Cole.""No no, it's nothing just sad that I've missed all that. Are you hungry?"I knew he was just trying to change the topic. So I didn't dwell on it. "I'm starving." I said with a smile.He got up and went to heat a plate for me. I guess Maria put it away for me since I slept longer. Once done heating,he served my food and finished his as I ate. He suggested we sit in the garden as the weather was good today. Maria served us some cold lemonade and freshly ba
Mika's povBeen away from Cole has been hard but it's something I really needed. It's also been refreshing spending time with my sisters. Watching them and their husbands was inspiring. Had talks with my brother in law's, they explained that with love it gives you something to hold onto in both good and bad times, with respect it helps you understand each other; the likes and dislikes of the other, with tolerance it helps you understand that you are two different people. Who both think that their choices are right can be due to upbringing or just how you are wired, with tolerance it makes you try to see the world in the eyes of the other with a little mix of yourself. They also told me something that has kept me building myself these last months.They said, if you are a religious person or you follow such practices, there is only one verse in the Bible that talks of finding a partner. Which is find a partner who will go to war with you. No people may translate that different; religi
