Bree

The night went smoothly, it was the first one in months since I first laid my eyes on Alexander Pierce that I had had a goodnight sleep. No matter the crazy force in my head telling me I could do better and not give up, I already did. Francis was right, it was best we let them be. We've done too much.

The sudden ringing from my phone had me jump straight up. The caller ID happened to be Francis. My eyes caught the top of my phone—the notification bar. It caught the symbol of a message and instantly my heartbeat raced faster than normal. It started skipping a beat, no matter how much I tried to calm myself.

I returned Francis’ call and waited for what seemed like the bad news. His call was too early for the morning and it freaked me out.

“I missed your call Francis, what's going on? You scared me.”

His breathing was erratic, and his hasty movement caught the whiff of my hearing. “You have to be scared Bree, no we have to be scared. There's trouble, there's trouble. Did you get any

    BreeImmediately I stepped into Francis' house, my phone gave away another notification tone. I flung my phone angrily to God knows where, I was becoming tired. My fear was making me enraged, angry that I let whoever was doing that to me.“Not now Bree, getting angry or frustrated isn't going to solve any of this.”I slumped into the couch behind me. His phone gave away a notification tone. Our eyes merged into one, both of it showing unspeakable fear.“Since your girlfriend has decided to be erratic, I'm going to send the same message to you. To make sure it is delivered. I have a task for you two, and I don't think you have a choice or else your so-called secrets won't be safe anymore. All you have to do is kidnap Melissa Dawson and her kids. I'd send the location you need to drop them and update you afterwards,” Francis read out, making eye contact with me once again.“That's impossible, we can't do that,” I flared up, stomping my foot on the ground. “She doesn't even want to see m

    Francis Without failing to heed to the stalker's threat, I had Melissa and the kids delivered unconscious to the location yesterday. I imagined the look on her face when she found out what I did but she wouldn't understand. My life was at stake, same as Bree's. I needed to do something as fast as possible. I got us into this mess in the first place. But Bree's words couldn't and wouldn't leave my head. Could it be true? Was I just a puppet in his games? What exactly did he seek that killing Alexander was his only way out?A knock on my door knocked me out of my thinking. I wasn't expecting Bree or any other person, all I wanted to do was find a way to rescue Melissa and her kids.I unlocked the bolt on the door and saw 2 officers with sunglasses at my doorstep.“Good day officer, how can I help you?” I maintained composure and tried to sound confident.The first officer removed his glasses and stepped forward. “Are you Francis Davis?”“Yes I am, how can I help you?”“I'm Officer Ben a

    AlexanderWe all watched Bree and the other whiskered away. Her words were so painful, I felt them in my guts and my heart. I couldn't just believe that Miss Melissa Dawson has always been my wife and the kids were also mine. That explained why they addressed me as daddy the first day I went to their house.How do I know that that was the first day I went to their house? They seemed really accustomed to me. And then the necklace each one of them held, did I have it made for them?“Alexander,” Mimi held my shoulders. “What are you thinking about?”Now was the time I had to confront them. “What she said, is it true? That Melissa is my wife and the kids are mine?”She nodded her head slowly, still in her grieving state. “I'm so sorry, I should have told you but the doctor advised that you regain your memories yourself.”“How long?” My gaze was firm and sharp, it could cut through a glass.“How long, what?”“How long have I been married to her? Since when have I known her?”She sighed, ba

And he didn't even give me a chance to compose myself well, that question took me off guard.Carl came out just in time and I rushed into my husband's arms, weeping silently. “What do we do Carl? He mustn't find out, not in his present state. He might go crazy or rather go into shock which might lead to coma and that won't be good for anyone of us.”He held me tightly, shushing me and at the same time patting me. “I think he knows something is wrong. I need you to be strong for everyone of us now, please honey. Please.”“I've lost everything, everything I've worked for,” I continued sobbing. “What exactly did we do wrong Carl?”Not saying another word, he only continued doing what he was doing. FlashbackMy mind drifted to 2 days ago, the day of his accident. There was no one to call, Bree had been arrested that day and Melissa was the next person that came in my head. Th

I was puffing out air in shorts and becoming extra cranky. My breathing was making it obvious that I was beyond livid.“ALEXANDER PLEASE, STOP IT. YOU WILL DESTROY EVERYTHING,” Lady Selene screamed, while her tears were becoming louder.I was too blind to see that I was doing everything wrong. Rage has covered my eyes and I let it be fueled.“ALEX, STOP. WE'LL FIND HER,” I heard Sir Carlos’ voice but that didn't still stop me from throwing things either. “YOU JUST NEED TO CALM DOWN.”I was discharged from the hospital the night before and I knew something was definitely amiss. No sign of Melissa or the kids and they never came to visit me at the hospital all the time I was there. I wondered why they still lied to me about everything when they knew I'd figure it out soon.I suddenly stopped

    MelissaSince the day of our capture, we've only been moved from one location to another with just breakfast and dinner as our only food. Now at our newest location, I still had no idea of why Francis would decide to kidnap us and not show his face afterwards. I had several plans in my head for him when I finally got out of this place, he would most likely hate himself.The door opened and the same huge guard who fed us walked in, with a plate of richly cooked food. My kids’ mouth watered at the sight of it and dived straight into eating, no questions asked. We were not given the chance to bathe or clean ourselves; all that was provided was another space inside the same room that served as our toilet.The place was just a single room with a toilet, brightly illuminated; a window sitting high up, where our hands would never dream of reaching, a fan for ventilation, a bed big enough for all of us and a fridge housing several bottles of water for us to drink whenever we finished eating.

    Cindy“Bitch,” I spat out immediately as I stepped out, kicking the invisible air. Her guts irritated my soul, she was going to be tougher than I thought. I underestimated her. Maybe I thought that she was someone like Bree. “Nothing will make me let go of Alexander, he is mine.”I remembered the little history between us, the way he handled my body just the way I liked it. No wonder, I was stuck on him. And besides that day only intensified it, I've always had my eyes on the richest man in New York. Having him in my bed made me confirm it as a sign that I was meant for him. We were meant for each other; and just because a piece of paper pronounced them to be husband and wife meant nothing. That is one of the reasons divorce exists.I stomped back inside to hurt her feelings, I doubt if she knew the little history that happened between us.“Back so soon?” She sat in the middle of her kids, doing God knows what. “You missed me so soon?”“Aren't you a little curious to know how I knew A

As fascinating as it was, it looked nothing as beautiful to me. If my life was complete at the moment, we would definitely be swooning over its beauty.My ringing phone jolted me up, and seeing that it was a hidden number, I decided to ignore it. Not long after, the same call came in and I was cajoled by my inner self to pick it.“Hello this is Alexander Pierce, who am I onto?”The next thing I heard had me leapt up from my bed without thinking.“Daddy,” Aurora's voice pierced into my hearing immediately.Before I could say anything or register it perfectly in my brain, the line went dead. “Aurora? Is mummy there with you?”I kept saying, not knowing the line had gone dead. I tried calling back immediately but it was a hidden number, no way it would connect.“Fuck it,” I threw the phone on the thinking, walking the length of the room. M

    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,
