Alex's POV;
I'm sitting silently with Amos, in his living room. The television is running, however, my mind and attention are not being paid to my environment, as all I'm interested in is my phone, as I am surfing the internet.
I just finished liking a picture on I*******m, when my phone begins to buzz. My eyes widen at the caller ID.
It's my mum. It's been a while since we spoke. A very long while at that. She moved to Thailand for career purposes and has been living there ever since.
Why is she calling me now? I quickly sit up and take a deep breath, causing Amos to stare at me. I then receive the call.
"Hello, mum? "I call into the phone on picking the call, and my mother's sweet, soothing, voice replies.
"My darling child! I'm at the airport, come get me. "She says, and my brain explodes.
"Sorry, what? "I question in alarm, and Amos looks up at me again, wondering what's wrong.
"I said, I'm at the airport. Come and

Alex's POV; I have explained everything concerning Damon, Amos, and Sia to my mom. I filled her in on everything there is to know, and she's been very supportive. I'm currently in Amos's house. I'm sitting on the swing in the middle of his garden, swinging gently without my legs leaving the ground. I've been spending a lot of time here, and to be honest, most of it is out of guilt. I can't go on with my life and live fully in my house when I mostly feel his current condition is because of me. He no longer has any external injuries, but he isn't completely fine. His nurse is still around, and we still visit his doctor now and then. My mind crawls back to Damon, and I smile as his perfect face reflects in every short second of darkness I get with every blink I make. His beautiful brown eyes that never lack that pop of light, his beautiful, soft, brown hair that he always gels back perfectly, his beard which he always leaves as low as possible... His face in all which gives the dea
Amanda's POV; I am sitting idle on my bed. My mind several kilometers into my past. I'm four months pregnant with twins now, and soon enough, my stomach would start protruding. I've lost a few contracts and job offers just because I've added more weight. It's been over 23 years. More than twenty-three years ago, my life was stolen from me. Thrown down into a nasty, dark valley, and I've lived with my broken self since then. I used to be full of joy and hope till all those years ago. My life ended before my eyes and there was nothing I could do about it. Sure, I use drinks, parties, money, and the likes, to hide my scars. But every night, when I'm alone, my true self shows its face to me again, and trust me... she is ugly. I knew it was stupid of me to have unprotected sex. It was dumb and it was irresponsible. Not only could I have gotten pregnant, but I could have also caught STD, and STIs, however, I didn't care much. I have always h
Damon's POV;A cord snaps in my head as I stare at Alex. What on earth is she doing here? Who called her here? What gives her the right to be here and who on earth told her I want to see her tonight of all nights!?Perhaps my mom sees the look on my face, so she begins to stutter."Uhm... Uhm. I... Damon, I invited Alex. "She says, and I glare at her with wide eyes in shock.She what!?"I... I thought s... seeing her would... would lighten your mood. "She adds, and my brows furrow.She thought me seeing the same woman who left me for no reason, the same woman who's been going on dates with another man despite being married to me, she thought me seeing that woman would lighten my mood!?I make to speak but stop myself as the crowd in the room is staring at us, and I wouldn't want to embarrass my mother.I gently release my grip from her hand and look up at Alex. I really can't tell what this woman wants. My mother invited her, a
Alex's POV; It's been a while since I went to Amos's house. He's getting better, and I've been busy at work. Since he's not been at the office for quite some time, my workload increased as he put me in charge of all the things he should but can't do. I've also been feeling down due to my scattered emotions and brain. Nothing in my life right now seems to make sense. Phoebe keeps postponing her wedding as some things don't always go as planned and she says she can't wed when the closest people to her are going through tough times. Amanda is depressed and dealing with pregnancy, Audrey is not able to explain what a father is to her daughter, and I... Well, I'm here. Broken and empty. Watching the man I love hate me. I came to Amos's house early this morning, and it's noon now. I'm in his library, staring into the sky by one of its huge windows. "Hey, "Amos's voice pulls me out of my hea
Sia's POV;I am in my cozy pink hood, and black shorts. Ready to take a sit on my sofa, with my cup of tea in hand, as I'm about to watch one of my favorites evening programs, and suddenly, my doorbell rings. startling me.I jump right before spilling some of my tea on my perfect cotton hood, and I roll my eyes in annoyance."Oh, great! "I exclaim before setting the cup of tea on the coffee table and heading to the door. My cat. Twinkle. Rushes to sit on the coffee table, and I chuckle. She always does that when I have a visitor. Such a nosy creature.The person at the door rings the doorbell again, and I roll my eyes before calling."Hold on! "What's the rush?I open the door, and my jaw drops on seeing Alex. She looks like someone who just escaped a tsunami that was sprinkled with frustration and pain.I make to speak when she throws herself at me and wraps her arms around me. My heart shatters like glass, instantly as
Alex's POV; I pull up in a frenzy in front of Amos's house, before dashing in. I find his workers downstairs in a group, shaking in fear while staring at his room's shut door. I look up and find his panicking nurse outside his room, shaking like a leaf in the wind, and trying to reach out to him. I rush upstairs to meet her, and the nurse rushes to me on seeing me. "Oh, thank heavens you're here. He started this some minutes ago. He's been breaking things and screaming your name. I'm scared he'd hurt himself. " She says to me, and I gulp at the sound of things crashing and breaking inside. "Amos? It's Alex. May... May I come in? "I say after knocking on the door, and silence falls upon us. A click sound that indicates that he has unlocked the door is heard from inside, and I take a deep breath before opening the door and walking in. I yelp as he pulls me in and shuts the door after me. I come back to myself, and stare around at
Mrs. Hudson's POV;It's a break of dawn in my house, and I'm eating in silence with my son, at our dining table. The sunshine has spilled over the dining table, from the window behind my son, and the air conditioner has chilled the atmosphere of the room.Damon is feasting on the food before him, and I can't help but steal glances of him.A few weeks ago, he was broken and his longing to have Alex back with him, was very obvious. However, right now, he seems to have forgotten who she is, and the fact that his wife is no longer in this house.I never wanted the two of them to split up. I know Alex has her issues, but she's still a sweetheart. She was being silly when she filed for a divorce. I won't deny that her reason for doing so, is absolutely stupid, but she's just a child and I don't want this mistake of hers, to knock her life off the right path.She and Damon love each other a lot but seeing Damon with this much peace despite that the troubl
Alex's POV; I scream in annoyance after getting off the phone with my mother-in-law. I'm in my vehicle, and I just got out of a grocery store. It's almost like my life began to degenerate after I made this divorce stunt, and the negativity of the situation only began to come into play when things had gone a little too far. First, it was the internet soiling my name, then it was Ava trying to steal my husband, next it was Damon almost killing Amos, then it was Amos confessing love to me, and now one of the only people who supported me has turned her back on me. Why would mom think I have moved on? Damon thinks so, but she won't just believe him without evidence. My life has become an annoying complication, and I don't like it. I'm frustrated, hurt, broken, pained, and so much more. When I filed for a divorce, I expected it to be easy. I watched my parents do it, saw it on TV, and read it in books. No one ever told me that it would be th
Alex's POV;Love... It's a very funny thing. It take you and redefines you. It changes most if your believes and gives you a new view of life. It teaches you that you don't always have to do everything on your own, and it so teaches you that forgiveness is one of the very important wheels that keeps life going. If there's no love, a lot of us would feel incomplete and failed. Love hurts sometimes, and sometimes it heals. In the last few months, I've grown to learn that love indeed isn't a bed of roses.There are ups, downs, sad times, happy times, good times and definitely the hurting times. But there's so much joy when there's love around. Love that makes you feel whole and complete.Love that heals you in ways you'd never imagined. To love you need to let most of yourself go, and trust completely. I'm currently enjoying my life with Damon, and it's amazing.I'm seven months pregnant now, and we're currently at the hospital, waiting outside Amanda's wars. She's in labor, and Max ha
Sia's POV;I'm currently at Alex's garden, back at her and Damon's house. It's been a while since we last hung out, and she called me over telling me that we needed to talk.I low-key think I know what the bottom line for this meeting is, and honestly, I'm not sure I'm ready. I mean... Which best friend won't be mad that her friend has been keeping a huge secret from her, for years?"When were you planning on telling me, Sia? "Alex questions as I take my cup of lemonade to my mouth, and I gulp.I gently drop the cup back on the table before looking up at her, and she gives me a look."Sia, we attended college together, we've been through so much together, even when Amos came back, you were the one who kept pointing out that you think he likes me and that if I feel he's the one for me, I shouldn't fight it.Why were you doing that? Why didn't you just come open to me? "She questions and I shut my eyes."You didn't even give anyone a chance to suspect. How could you do that?? "She conti
Ava's POV;I am sitting in a vehicle, with my mom, on our way to my physiologist. I'm not mad, I just need therapy. It's not a normal thing to want to kill yourself, and another person too.The Hudson's were kind enough not to file a case against me, and my lawyer help me out of the police mess with a lot of effort.Turns out my mom is best friends with Alex's mom. I find it funny because who would imagine such. I tried to steal the husband of my mother's best friend's daughter.My mom was disappointed when she found out about everything, but she's forgiven me now, and we've agreed that after my therapy, I'd move back to Thailand with her.I don't know about my feelings for Damon. I'm trying my best to kill them, and I know that I haven't made much progress.I'm sure about this because I know that if I see him, all the emotions I've been trying to bottle up, would come undone. I know it's wrong of me to still have these feelings for a married man, but I'm only human... I need a break
Ava's POV;I am in the hospital with Mia. A few seconds ago, Alex and an older woman who looks a lot like her, left the room.And my eyes are shut as my mind is running over Alex's words."Wow... She really is a different type of woman. "Mia states as I feel her sit beside me, and I open my eyes."Yeah... "I reply dryly."If it were me or any other woman in her shoes, I'd be wishing the worst for you. Not coming to apologize... "She states, and I shut my eyes again."What are we going to do now? "She questions and I keep my eyes shut. I don't know what we'd do now. I've lost my job, and my reputation. I don't think any other big shot in town would want to hire me after news about my truth somehow slipped onto social media. I still have some money saved up from my fat salaries, but I'm confused. I don't know what step to take next..."I don't know. "I reply to my best friend, honestly, and silence falls upon us for a second."I warned you, you know? But you seemed so certain that you
Lucia's POV;I'm on my way to the hospital with Alex. I don't know why, but she insisted on coming to see Ava. It's annoying because I really think she shouldn't care if the witch is fine or not. If you ask me, I'd say I don't mind if she died in that hospital. She tried to kill my son-in-law. It's only fair for me to wish she died in that fire, but she didn't!And heaven knows why Alex is going to see her today. The doctor told us that Ava and Damon were fine, however, Damon got discharged, while Ava hasn't. The cops are patiently waiting for her to recover so they can send her for a mental check-up, or just lock her up for attempted murder.Either is fine by me. Be it locking her in an asylum, or behind bars. We finally arrive at the hospital, and I walk behind Alex in growing annoyance.We eventually make it to Ava's room, and there's a petite, dark-haired girl, sitting beside her bed. However, she rises in fear, on seeing us.It seems she knows who Alex is. Ava turns to Alex,
Audrey's POV;I suddenly jolt out of my sleep, when a sound wakes me. It sounded like a door opening. I've not been able to sleep deeply tonight. Moses came over here to spend the night, as he has an interview at an office not too far from my house, tomorrow morning, and his house is quite far. If he spends the night in his house, he'd be late for the interview, and might even lose the job. So, he asked for my help, and I gave it. He agreed to sleep in the living room as there are only two rooms in this house. One for me, and the other for Angela, and there's no way I'd sleep in the same room as him. At least not now. I don't trust him enough, and as much as I want to, I haven't fully accepted him back. I need to know what he's truly here for. He says he wants to make up for his mistakes, but I'm only human. You can't expect me to trust him after all these years. There are so many different possibilities for his reappearance. Possibilities that send shivers down my spine and a s
Sia's POV;“A drink for you. “Amos says. Pointing a can of soda, at me, and I smile as I take it from him.We've been taking things slow, trying to get to know each other better, and… It's been fun.It's nice to have the person you love finally give you some attention. But to be honest, I'm not completely happy. I feel whatever he's doing, he's doing out of pity.Either that, or he's using me as a rebound. It makes no sense to me. Yes, the care and attention he's showing sure is something I've longed for, for a very long time, and it's been my dream for way too long.But it only began after my outburst to him. I can still remember all the emotions that were running through me that day in his car when I blurted out my deepest secret to him. The truth about my feelings for him.I should be happy and feel over the rainbow that the man I love now spends quality time with me and is always there when I need him. Right? But no. I don't feel… Comfortable. It just feels awkward.“Anything the
Ava's POV; "Do you love Alex? "I question, with my back turned to Damon, and tears pouring down my face. I slowly pull out the bottle I've been hiding in my shirt and turn to him with speed. I spray its content on his face, and he grunts in pain as it gets into this eyes. He staggers and I lead him to the couch as his eyes begin to flutter. "What did you do to me, Ava? "He questions in worry as he rubs his eyes, and I stare down at him in pain. "If I won't have you, Damon... No one else will. If you didn't want me, you never should have given me a taste of you. "I say to him as I watch him weakly surrender to the sleep beckoning on him, and another tear slips down my face. "I'm sorry, Damon... But this love story is mine, and this is how it will end. You had the chance to make it end in another beautiful way... But you chose this... "I cry as I grab a whiskey bottle off the table, and begin emptying it on the couch he's dozing off on.
Alex's POV; It's been weeks and we've heard nothing of, or from Ava. I don't even know what to believe. Is she truly carrying my husband's child? I mean... I can't zero out that possibility. Even if she is with his child, what then? Am I expected to leave my husband for another woman? It's not my fault she dug a hole and fell into it... But it's not the child's fault that its mother is a whore. Is there even a child? I'm so confused. I don't know what to, and what not to do. I pick up my phone and decide that I need to talk to Damon. I miss him. He's reclined ever since Ava showed up. Guilt had been bugging him before, but after she came to us with such news, Damon became a shell of his former self. He... let guilt consume him fully. I am forced to sit up when I find a message from Damon. It's not the fact that he messaged me that's frightened me, but the content of the message
