I couldn't do anything except watch her walk away with the kids. The trio turned back at intervals, smiling and waving towards my direction as they ran ahead of their mother.

Funnily enough, she never told them to stop waving at me, she just looked away, like I meant nothing to her.

I have done more harm than good in this woman's life and I wouldn't want to cause more. My tone unconsciously came out rough and hard, I had no idea how it happened. No matter how much she tried to mask it, I could still see it in her eyes, she was scared of me.

I wanted to fight for her but I had no idea how. She, herself, wasn't going to make it easy for me. Melissa, hating me, was an understatement. If she had the power to kill me, she would, without giving it so much thought.

Giving myself a moment of bliss, I decided to go visit the royalty of Carlton. They were close friends with my parents. I was in their city, it would definitely make a lot of sense to pay homage to them.

    Alexander Her cold wrinkled hands held my hands tightly, without her gaze flinching away from mine. "Is it because of the little bunny?" The Thatchers were the other people I could talk to, they have a very limited knowledge about my nightmares but they knew exactly how I felt. There was no acting like a tough man with Lady Selene and Sir Carlos. I adjusted uncomfortably in my seat, trying to fight back the burning tears from falling. "Talk to me, Alex. Don't bottle it up inside, let it out," she said. I broke down, like a broken dam, waiting to overflood the entire environment. She held me close and rocked me gently, waiting for me to finish up. "I messed up Mimi," I said, sniffing. "I really messed up badly." "It's okay child, what did you do?" "I met a very good woman, a very beautiful one at that. She bears Melissa as well. And all I did to that woman was damage her, emotionally and mentally. I made her remove her babies twice in 6 months because I still believed that I was

    Alexander Irritated by the lady who stood at the door without saying a word, I walked to the door myself and slammed the door in her face. Making sure she saw how pissed I was. I'm yet to ask Mimi who that was. A knock caught my attention again. "Arggggggh," I was physically pissed by now. I had thought of the things I'd say to her in my head. "What do you want again?" I said, immediately the door went open. But then I was wrong, Lady Selene looked at me like I had just developed 2 heads. "Sorry Mimi, I had no idea that it was you," I apologized. "Has someone been to this room today?" "Yes, just a few moments ago." "Well, I'm here to tell you that dinner is almost ready and I want us to all eat together," she said, reaching for my cheeks, taking turns with them as she kissed on both sides. I hurried to my bath and by the time I came out, I saw that a fresh pair of clothes had been prepared for me. A cream t-shirt and a black shorts laying side by side. As I walked downstairs,

    Melissa I pushed the door open, allowing the kids and myself inside the house. The day was physically and mentally exhausting, I had only planned for physically but mentally had to find a way to sneak itself inside the equation. "Aunty Jane," the kids ran towards her, wrapping themselves in her embrace. Well except one person, Albert. "Hi Aunty Jane," he said, with no remorse or enthusiasm in his voice. I sighed, gaining his attention. "Be nice Albert," I said. "Who said I wasn't nice? I just don't do hugs with people, except you. It's a childish thing," he shrugged. "Well, that explains it. You are still a child, my child, remember." The look on his face gave the next question away. We've been having this discussion for so long, as soon as he knew his right from wrong, Albert had always stayed on my neck. "Don't ask Albert," I warned him. "We've gone over this topic, over and over again. What would you do with it?" "It doesn't matter what I do with it," his voice went higher

    Bree My gaze couldn't and wouldn't leave his rigid back, he was cold yet enticing. I wanted him, I didn't want to know what else mattered. Mother walked inside, not quite long, after he went inside. I ran straight to the seat beside my father. “Is it true what he said?” I questioned immediately. “Let an old man eat in peace, Bree,” he chastised but I wasn't having any of it. “Just tell me if it's true,” I kept whining like a child who had been denied candy. “What part of what he said are you trying to verify?” “The part where he said he is the youngest richest billionaire in New York?” He swayed his head back and forth slightly, continuing to focus on his food. “Well it's unfortunate that you have decided to steer clear away from the media. What he is saying is true.” Thinking that my father was using me to pass time, I dug out my phone from my pocket and looked up the internet immediately. His face came into view, multiple blogs and news channels headlining him. A faint smi

    Alexander Maybe occupying the space little bunny and I once stayed in helped chase the nightmares away or maybe because I felt so close to being home. The night was as smooth as the furs of a sheep, calm like a wind and serene like the lullaby escaping from the lips of a woman. The morning light forced its way through the open curtains, filling the room with its blessing. I sat up, seeing toasted bread and hot chocolate prepared on my bedside table. “Lady Selene,” I said to myself, smiling. It has always been a routine for her, and she still did it, irrespective of how old she was becoming. I walked to the bathroom to relieve myself. I came out only to meet Bree sitting on my bed, waiting for God knows what. The smile on my face dispersed into a frown immediately I sighted her. “I'm very sure Lady Selene taught you better but you chose to be rude,” I said. “Good morning to you too Alexander Pierce,” she said, wearing a weird looking smile on her face. I wondered instantly what s

    Melissa The audacity of this man who called himself Alexander Pierce was something I couldn't place my hands on yet. After all the things he did to scar me mentally and emotionally, he still had the guts to show his very beautiful face to me. What was I even saying? I should not be complimenting his looks at the moment but I couldn't help it. I could tell where my boys got their handsomeness from. Such a fine man, I blushed. “Miss Melissa, Miss Melissa,” the director's voice infiltrated my thoughts, forcing me out of my mental masturbation. “Yes sir,” I composed myself and stiffened my gaze. “I'm saying that I'm giving you the rest of the day away since Mr Alexander Pierce wants to see you. You can dismiss whatever you are doing and carry on,” he said. For a moment, I was glad that I could use the rest of the day to relax and definitely have time to pick my kids up at school. But I refuse to give Alexander that satisfaction. There was no point arguing with the director, I simply

    Alexander The kind of luck I had always baffled me, especially when it came to fixing my mistakes with Melissa. First it was Cindy, now it was Bree. I turned to look at Melissa, she had a neutral expression on her face. “What are you doing here Bree?” I asked again. “Are you following me?” She wore an irritating smile on her face, shrugging her shoulders. Her hands went over themselves, resting directly under her bosom. “Well you could say that,” the smile disappeared from her face immediately after she ended her statement. Melissa still wasn't saying anything. It looked like she was enjoying the show that was going on between Bree and I. I closed the space between Melissa and I, trying to find the most sincere words for her. There was no point trying to act all tough in front of her when she literally just saw me a few minutes ago at my most vulnerable. “Melissa, please I know I messed up again. I'm never going to be tired of asking for more chances.” “I don't know why you are

    Lady Selene Immediately the door went shut, my eyes came in contact with Bree's. She was cradled up in my husband's arms, crying profusely. We all knew how badly behaved she was, we hoped and prayed that she would change but it felt like we were being punished for something we don't know. She released herself from Carlos' arms and ran straight to me. Her eyes were puffy and red, she was in a very pitiful state and I could only wrap her face in my wrinkled hands. “What did he say mother? How is he? Does he want to see me?” She attempted to go into his room but I restricted her from moving forward. “To be clear Bree, Alexander doesn't like you. Not even to the way you think, he doesn't have an iota of feelings for you.” I could see the veins standing on her neck, the tears were coming in fast and she tried to hold them back but it was all futile. She broke down like a river turned into a dam, breaking barriers and destroying everything along its path. She fell to the floor, holdin

    AlexanderI had the biggest round table made yesterday, with so many chairs. We wanted a large family meal with everyone we had come in contact with that year except the people who were behind bars. Mrs Dawson was closest to us, so I had her picked up myself. Janet, Maddy, Sally, Jayson, Andrew; were all invited from Carlton. I had my private jet go pick them up. It was a very beautiful sight.The chefs cooked exotic meals and everyone looked forward to eating together.Knowing the table wouldn't be able to get inside, we placed it under the tree in my yard. Everyone got to get a room to themselves and even though the house was rowdy and noisy, it still made a lot of sense.“The table is ready and being set, come on out everyone,” the kids ran around the house, bellowing this information.Everyone trooped out of their rooms, laughing and talking with one another. One by one, we sat at the table and the empty chairs were moved away by the staff.I stood up, raising a glass cup and a for

    AlexanderEverything was starting to happen the way I wanted it to be. A very big happy loving family, with no issues or any form of bad blood amongst us. Yet I still dreamed of doing one beautiful thing, getting married to Melissa properly. I had asked for her hand in marriage again from her parents and they had given me their full support. Deep down I know that Melissa would love to start afresh with me again but I just wanted her to know some disturbing things from my life.I admired the diamond ring I got for her the day before yesterday. I had solely made sure that was all I did yesterday—find a wedding ring that is befitting for my woman.My ears caught the whiff of footsteps and I quickly hid the ring case.She sank into the bed beside me, rubbing my face. “Hey Alexander Pierce, I've been looking for you all over the house. Are you sure you are fine?”“Of course,” I gave a small smile. I didn't have the courage to look her in the eyes and she noticed it. To her, it might feel l

    BreeA bowl of popcorn sat graciously on the table as we munched on it. Myself and the trio were binging a popular TV series. The remote was yanked from Albert's hand as he was the one controlling everything.“Hey,” he turned around screaming, he toned down his voice immediately he saw who got the remote from him.“Excuse us,” Alexander sat with Melissa beside me. Lady Selene walked in with Sir Carlos and just like that the kids found their way inside.It was a suspicious gathering. I looked from left to right but all their attention was on the TV. “I think I'll go inside with my buddies too,” I said, standing up.“No sir down Bree, you are needed here. Not with them,” Alexander said. Reluctantly, I sat. “Well, will someone be kind enough to explain the sudden strictness on your faces and the gathering?”He tuned the TV set from one station to another and he finally settled for one. It was a news channel, James and Melissa's foster father were being sent to jail.Judge: “James Talon

    BreeIt's been 3 days since I last went to the police station. Alexander and Melissa were back home and everything and everywhere has been lively—back to how it used to be. I was still sulking about my visit, I was hating myself for it. The more I thought about it, the angrier I became with myself. I locked myself in my room, not letting anyone see me or talk to me. Aiden was smart enough to know that I didn't want to be seen so he always delivered my food through the space under the door. Everyone tried to talk to me but I wasn't letting them in.As usual that day, I sat in my bed, moping into space, still in my current situation before I heard the impossible.“Please break this door down, it's my house. I have a lot of them and I'll just have this repaired instead if everyone chose to stay here.I didn't believe what I heard. A few strikes at the locks and the door was forced open. I maintained my position and didn't move an inch.Melissa ran forward first, hugging me without mindi

    BreeWith a black hoodie over my head, hiding the plasters that were still on my face, I snuck out of the house to the main road. Boarding a taxi to the police station, I was just so grateful that Melissa and Alexander weren't back from their trip. The kids and Lady Selene are today, sleeping I guess. That can only explain why the house was extremely silent before I left.No matter how much I tried to take my mind off it, I just wanted to see him. The man that called himself my biological father, the man that killed my mother just because he envied a set of people with generational wealth.“Hi good morning,” I greeted the first officer I came in contact with. “I'm here to see James Talon.”“Please sign here while I bring him out for you,” he pushed the visitor's signing book to me. “What's your name?”“Bree.”“Bree what?”I didn't know which one was appropriate. Whether to say Bree Thatcher or Bree Talon, none of them was settling right with me at the moment.“Just say Bree,” I half s

    Melissa With the car seat lowered to the back, I desperately sought sleep. Alexander and I were home alone with the staff, we refused to sleep on time and played around like kids till the early hours of the morning. I wondered how he got up so early without a trace of sleep on his face, I guess work had made him get accustomed to it.I felt a hand on my face, pinching my nose and my ears. In a sleepy voice, I begged.“Oh God Alexander, let me have a little nap before we get to our destination, please,” I begged.“That isn't going to work on me,” he taunted. “Remember you wanted to play last night and I indulged you. You forget the fact that I'm a businessman and I'm used to staying awake.”I flung my hands out tiredly, signifying my surrender. “Oh the mighty Alexander, I give up. Let thy maiden enjoy her beauty sleep.”He chuckled, finally considered my request and let me be, diverting all his attention to the road. I heard him start rhyming with some words.“Wake up Melissa, we are

    MelissaI sat behind the other side of the glass with a straight face, waiting for the person I was supposed to meet. Immediately she came and found her seat, I picked up the phone.“Heard you left Carlton with your family, did you come to see me because you miss me? Didn't hubby come along with you?”“I can see that your intel is still as good as ever. Even while in prison you have information about the outside world,” I said. “Your genital meet and greet business really proved useful.”She wasn't expecting me to get back to her that way, her face was riddled with shame and pain.“Ouch, I think I took it too far. My apologies, I didn't come here for that.”She sighed. “No need to beat around the bush, tell me why are you here?”“To let you know that I hold no grudges against you. You did what you had to because you were in love with my husband. Apologies, scratch that. You were obsessed with my husband Alexander Pierce. You let yourself be controlled by a man who didn't even mean wel

    Melissa“Are you sure you want to do this mother?” All of a sudden I wondered why she wanted to see her husband. But I guess it was a fair thing to ask for.“Yes Melissa, I want to see him,” she smiled. “I missed him so much. Even though we would see some place where I can't touch him or hold him, I still want to see his beautiful face. He's everything to me.”I didn't understand what was going on in her head, even if I tried.“Mother, he sent you to a nursing home by himself, do you remember that at all?” I said, trying to make my point. “He left you alone.”Without any argument, still with a calm face and voice, she said. “I know that, I know exactly what he did to me. But he's the love of my life, he’s everything I have and everything I've always had. So if I throw it all away because I'm mad at him for throwing me in a nursing home, then I'll be miserable for the rest of my life. Besides I met beautiful people there, beautiful people who made the days I spent there. It's not like

    MelissaAs we got closer to the hospital, I brought out my phone and saw that I had missed several calls from Lady Selene. “Alex, let me see your phone,” with his eyes still on the road, he brought it out and handed it over to me.“What's the problem? Is everything good?”“We've missed Lady Selene's call, multiple times,” I said. “I hope she doesn't break our head as soon as we get there.”“Maybe she missed us.”I rolled my eyes at him. “You flatter yourself too much Mr.”The first person to welcome us as soon as we walked the corridors of the hospital was Lady Selene. Her face radiated so much joy and happiness.“Where have you guys been? I've been calling your phones all day. Bree is awake and she's fine,” she jumped into Alexander's arms. “And the kids?”“You know as usual, bombarding her with so many things that had happened while she wasn't awake,” she said, so casually.I hurried into her ward with Mara in front of me. “She should be resting, no one is allowed to disturb her,
