GLENDA'S POV"That was excellent! Wonderful! That's what I've been trying to tell you all the while. Fight for your husband!" Elsa shrilled in excitement.We were back to the confines of my room. I was lying on bed and Elsa occupied the chair by the vanity table."I'm not fighting for anything. I had just had enough of her. I was in no mood to listen to her insults." I tiredly explained to Elsa why I had challenged Lucy."It's the same thing. At least now she knows not to get too comfortable ordering everyone around when she's only a glorified mail woman." Elsa insisted."Whatever you say." I responded with indifference. Lucy and her antics were the last thing bothering me at the moment. I had to think of the perfect way to present this matter to Maurice. That's the only other logical option I had right now."I guess Maurice will be returning soon?" Elsa asked."I guess so." I responded with disinterest."What's bothering you?""Are you really asking me that?" I chuckled at the irony.

GLENDA'S POVI was expecting a lot of things. Many and anything could happen but never this. Never did I expect something like this to happen.I stirred awake, the sharp needling pain tugging at my abdomen was too disturbing. So much so that the unconsciousness accompanying sleep couldn't ignore it. I struggled to get myself up. My legs were jelly beneath me, unable to support me. I couldn't walk. The cramp in my abdomen was numbling. I crawled my way to the bathroom. A surprising wetness filled the apex of my thighs. For a moment, I assumed I wet myself. But the piercing pain along with it made me believe otherwise.I dragged myself all the way to the bathroom. With the white lighting in the bathroom, I saw it bright and red. The red trail that followed me as I had dragged myself in, contrasted brightly with the white tile of the bathroom.I hoped it was not what I thought. I whimpered, the pain growing by the minute. As the pain increased, I stifled my groans and cries. The pain, e

MAURICE'S POVExhaustion washed over me as I stepped into my house. The familiar walls caused my tense muscles to relax. I was back in my haven. I didn't need to watch my back so often and concerned myself with figuring out who was trying to kick me out of business. Here, I could have time to myself."Yeah!!!!" The deafening squeal and the heels clicking hit my ears. I groaned as all my thoughts of relaxation jumped out the window. Lucy was home.She rushed to me, jumped and latched onto me like a child excited to have her dad back. "You stayed longer." She chided with a pout."I had to. Something came up." I explained as I let Nora take my briefcase."Welcome sir." Nora greeted. She disappeared as quickly as she had arrived."You were out with that woman, weren't you?" Lucy accused.I understood what she was talking about but I feigned not knowing. Lucy was referring to Amanda. Amanda was on the team we were closely working with in LA. Amanda was gorgeous. She turned heads and no ma

GLENDA'S POVI couldn't remember how long I've locked myself in my room. The dark color underneath my eyes screamed how sleep starved I was. I had cried out everything in me.I knew that the circumstances surrounding my pregnancy were complicated, but it still didn't stop me from feeling so terrible. I had just lost my baby. I wiped a tear that slid down my face at the thought of it. I couldn't come to terms with it. The baby already felt like something that belonged to me. I was already forming a connection to it. I wanted to give it many things and more which I was not opportuned to get from my mom. I guess that will never happen now. It will remain wishful thinking.But I had grieved enough. I couldn't remain locked in here forever. I needed to start putting my life back together. I looked around my room tiredly. The dishes from the meal I had sent to me days ago laid atop the vanity table in my room. I didn't touch a piece of it and I had not let Nora in to retrieve it. The sten

MAURICE'S POVI didn't understand why Glenda had turned so quickly and bumped into me until I heard Nana's voice downstairs. Nana had just returned? Nana was supposed to have been back earlier than today. I wondered why Nana was only just returning and I made a mental note to ask later.I turned my attention back to Glenda and watched her massage her head, her face scrunched in pain.It was obvious that she had seen Lucy and I kissing with the response she gave me. I noticed the darkening around her eyes as she spoke. She looked exhausted and I wondered why."Are you sick?" I asked.I noticed how quickly she averted my gaze, and mumbled an automated 'I'm fine' response before she scurried off.I shook my head as I watched her depart. She was still scared of me and I didn't know if I liked that. I pushed that thought behind me and headed downstairs to welcome Nana.Nana's hug was warm and loving as always. I smiled as she enveloped me in a bear hug. After greeting Nana, I turned to get

GLENDA'S POV "Eh, Glenda?" Nana's voice jolted me out of my head.I raised my head to her and questions filled my eyes. "What did you say, Nana?""I asked if you think anyone would be able to resist my beauty." Nana repeated and my mind traveled back to the conversation we were having just before I zoned out."Oh no, Nana. I don't think anyone can resist your charm." I said with a forced smile."See! At least someone knows it!" Nana feigned anger at Maurice and I smiled at her action.Nana was a wonderful woman, always jolly. I wished I had her kind of free-spiritedness. Despite her health, she still joked about trivial things. Dinner was quiet thereafter. I still couldn't eat much. After Maurice's confrontation and Lucy's insults hurled at me, I forced myself to consume some of the meal. The food tasted great but I really didn't have the appetite to eat. My heart was still heavy from my loss. And I was carrying the weight all alone.Maurice finished his food and sighed in satisfact

MAURICE'S POV "What was that about?" Lucy chimed once Nana and Glenda were out of ear shot.I rolled my eyes, knowing very well what Nana tried to do. Apparently, her plan was successful. Lucy could never understand when someone was consciously trying to rile her. She always fell bait to Nana's scheme."It's nothing. Nana was just being Nana." I said, getting up from my seat.Lucy jerked up from her seat and was at my side immediately. "No, it's not nothing. There's something and you're not telling me." She insisted.I was in no mood to listen to her nag. "I thought you promised this night would be special." I reminded her and turned to face her. I moved in closer to her and was about to pull her to me, closing the distance between us. But she shifted away from me."Well guess what! You just ruined it!" She snapped and sauntered away, swaying her hips invitingly.I knew she wanted me to go after her. Beg her even. Lucy can be a handful. I gave it a thought and decided against going a

GLENDA'S POVI couldn't take my gaze away from the rising sun. The big orange hue as it seemed to sit on top of the water in the distance, took my breath away and held my attention. The cool breeze caused gentle ripples over the water as the rays from the sun seemed to color the water. It was such a beautiful sight.The view I had just witnessed was beautifully ingrained in my memory. Slowly, I turned my head to look at Maurice. A mix of conflicting emotions filled my mind."Why did you bring me here?"He shrugged his shoulders as he seemed to pounder on his reply. "Don't you like it?" His gaze held a tinge of doubt. I hoped he didn't regret bringing me here."No, no, no. I love it!." I bowed my head shyly. "I just wonder why you thought of this."He still doesn't respond to my question. His gaze turned brooding as they rested over the waters before he spoke."Your mother used to love it here. She would always stop here before leaving." He smoothly changed the topic.My eyes softened

GLENDA'S POVONE WEEK LATER“Where is he? How is he?” Concern adorned my weary voice as my worried gaze rested on my brother-in-law.“He’ll live.” Sam said with a grin.Jane nudged him and gave him a warning glare. “Be serious for once! Don’t scare her with your silly jokes!” She reprimanded him.Sam pouted, but his eyes didn’t discard the mischievous glint they held. “I’m serious. I’m sharing good news.” He said with a shrug.Jane’s irritation at her husband stood up a notch. Her glares intensified. “Can’t you see that she’s worried?”Sam sighed resignedly. “I was only trying to lighten her mood.”“Well you’re doing a terrible job at it!”Sam raised his hands in surrender. He shifted and gave way for Jane to come closer to my gurney.Jane approached the bed with a sweet smile. “We came as soon as we heard. How are you feeling dear?” She helped adjust the gurney so my upper body was elevated. It gave me a better view.“I’m doing fine... Where is Maurice?" I asked again.It has been two

MAURICE'S POVBrian acted impulsively. That's what I thought and I couldn't resist the urge to scold him. He shouldn't have taken such a risky task upon himself. I was most certain that he had hurt himself, his hands were hurting and he was hiding it.“Scold me later, after we leave here.” He smiled at his deed, hiding his pain behind those genuine smile.I couldn't help but manage a half smile. He looked charming. Brian was a good boy. He just needed to be pointed in the right direction and I'm glad he found his way back home.I promised myself at that instance that things would be different from there on. He would be my son and I would be his father.I nodded for him to come along and went ahead with Glenda, expecting him to follow behind us. I had only taken a few steps when I heard the crash.I immediately turned around. “Brian!” I yelled, but it was already too late. “Dad.” He choked out in response. He blinked, sighed and seemed to relax. He looked calm, smiling up at me. As t

BRIAN'S POV“Elsa?” I asked him in surprise.It only meant Elsa had run after me when she couldn't stop me from going into the house. That crazy bitch!With everything that my father had told me, it was clear that she hadn't entered with good intentions. She must have sensed my intentions and she wanted to act ahead of me.She wanted to cement her plans, ensure everything happened according to how she wanted it. It was her house after all. She knew where she had left Glenda and could find her easily.Maybe it was a good thing she came in. This unit was large and finding my father and Glenda in this fiery mess was already proving difficult until I stumbled on the door, and heard the thudding coming from within. If she hadn't locked them in here, then maybe I would not have found them.I wanted to lift Glenda, carry her in my arms, but I thought against it and allowed my father to carry his wife.“I doubt that she's still in the building. Quick, let's get out of here.” I ordered and w

MAURICE'S POVA miracle did happen. Only it wasn't how I expected it.“Glenda!” I thought I was hallucinating someone calling Glenda. I braced myself. The thief had come. Death was near. It was so close, looming over us and breathing over my neck. I could feel it. But I wasn't scared. I wasn't afraid. I was ready for whatever was to come.“Glenda!” The call came again.My eyes flew wide open when I heard the second call. I was not hallucinating. I was not imagining things. Someone was indeed calling Glenda.Quickly, I raised myself from the forlorn stance I had assumed on the floor.My dead hope resurrected instantly. Someone was here. Someone had come for us.“Is anyone there? We are in here!” I yelled. My voice had become hoarse, dried from the smoke. I prayed whoever it was out there had heard me.“We are here!” I tried to increase my volume. I ended up wheezing from the strain.I guess my coughing gave away our location as I heard shuffling, then someone approaching.“Elsa?” I as

MAURICE'S POVHis reaction only confirmed my fears. Glenda was in that heat.I watched in horror as the flames grew taller into the sky. My breath hitched. My fears skyrocketed. Anxiety clothed my core. I was shaking with fright.That's when I caught sight of the approaching figure. A ray of hope stirred within me. Maybe. Just maybe.Brian strode past me like a zombie, his gaze set upon the fire like it was beckoning to him.Once the outline cleared to reveal Elsa, every ounce of hope and logical thinking within me vaporized.At that moment, nothing else mattered. Not Brian. Not Elsa. Not me. Only Glenda.I willed my legs to move and like a flash, I ran past Brian into the fire. The dense, hazy smoke welcomed me. Everything blurred in my vision. I squinted in an attempt to adjust to the smoky view.I squinted through the smoke and raised a hand to fan out the smoke. It didn't help to clear my view.“Glenda!” I called out. A raspy cough escaped my throat as the smoke filled my lungs.

BRIAN'S POVI caught a whiff of the familiar perfume as I entered the house. My heart began to beat at a double rate. My worst fears came alive when I stepped into the room to find it empty. Glenda was gone.“Shit! Shit!” I cussed and kicked.I exasperatedly ran a hand through my hair. Just when I had everything ready. When all my plans were ready and set. That sick bitch had to appear now. Why did I ever bring her here? What had I ever found attractive about that sick witch? I looked down at my crotch and cussed myself for my lack of control. But how could I have known then that this would come back to bite me in the ass? How could I have known that Elsa was as sick as the woman who birthed her?“Darn it!”Was this how all of my plans would be ruined? Would I not be able to protect Glenda? Would I allow Elsa and her mother to have the last laugh?No! I swore to protect Glenda and I would fulfill that promise.But where do I even begin to look for Glenda? Where could Elsa have taken

GLENDA'S POV I didn't want to accept how foolish I had been. How gullible I was. How blindingly trusting I was. “Elsa, please tell me this is all not true. Tell me this is all a prank. Say it. Laugh all this off… Say you're joking!” I yelled at her. I shook my head as though doing that would dispel everything that I had heard. “You are a liar! I don't believe you!” I broke into a sob. “I trusted you, Elsa. I loved you! I trusted you!... You were my sister! That's how much I cherished you.” I spilled through my teary, pain-filled voice. “And I hate you! I hate you Glenda! I hate you!” She countered, panting with dark rage. The room was filled with the heat of the hate emanating from her. The stench of her loath towards me was palpable in the ambience of the room. It felt so surreal. Like acting out a scene with the evil villain. Only, this was far from a dream or a movie. It was my sick reality. I could never have thought Elsa, whom I considered akin to my sister, harbored su

MAURICE POV It was a long drive. It had been two hours ago since Lucy agreed to take me to the place she talked about, yet we still hadn't reached. We kept taking neverending turns and corners. “Are we there yet?” I asked like an impatient child eager to reach the park sooner. “No. It's right up that corner.” Lucy replied. “How many more corners are we going to take?” Exasperation embellished my tone. “How did you even come to know about this place?” I asked out of my impatience and eagerness to quickly reach Glenda. The long hours of driving was beginning to make me rethink my decision. I couldn't help but begin to consider that this may be a ploy to distract me. “Um, he brought me here one time when we needed to talk privately. This is his hideout.” she spoke shyly. From the sound of her voice and the expression on her face, I understood that this was where they came to do all their plotting. Could Brian and Lucy still be working together? Could this also be one of

BRIAN'S POVI repeatedly slapped the passport against my palm, relishing in immense satisfaction as I walked to my car. It had taken longer than I had anticipated to get it done but I was finally holding it. My ticket to leave this place without being spotted by anyone.Best part, I was taking the woman I love along. Everything was falling into place. I smiled to myself as I got in my car. Aunt Helena had no idea how smart I could be. By the time she'll realize anything, we'd be long gone. Far long gone! To a place where no one can ever find us! Our disappearance would be a huge disappointment to Aunt Helena. It would put a big hole in her plans.As I sat in my car, my hand rested idling on the steering wheel. I gaze through the windshield, staring fixated at nothing ahead, my mind traveling back to that day at the hospital.★★★Flash back★★★“I've lost him.” She was crying profusely. “We failed.”I glanced over to Lucy curled on the gurney, an irritated look draped my expression.
