“My Saafia, who cannot look at another man with the same devotion, was with you. ‘In your shirt’ after ‘passing out’,”I hissed after hitting Helder whose face was bruised with a trail of blood flowing from the corner of his mouth.Yet, he remained shameless, leaning his head back, Helder laughed evilly.“Dariel, let me go, you are making a wrong choice. You will regret it," He dared to threaten me mindlessly.“Helder, my brother, tell me, since when did an unconscious person start changing her clothes herself? Do you think I wouldn’t know that you set that up?” I scoffed, rolling my eyes at his audacity to challenge me.“If you know then why are you torturing your beloved Saafia like this?” He smirked.“Because I want to know what you intend to do?”“Destroy you, dearest brother,” He snickered wickedly, evoking pure disgust from the bottom of my heart. I shouldn’t have forgiven him in the first place.“Why? I believe I have cut all my connections with you and your family then let us
Hissing, I was glaring at Helder whose laugh echoed in the secluded place, having no effect of the beating he received. He had become unbothered by pain, he didn’t care.“Hitting me won’t satisfy you…”“Motherfucker! Why did you lay your hands on my respect!? If you had troubles with us then you should have come to me!” I yelled, completely furious when he made Saafia sleep with him and moreover chained Jacey until it threw her in depression.He was hell bent on ruining my life.And for what? For crimes I never committed?“Ah, did it hurt you to find your sister in pain?” He chuckled, testing my patience with his playfulness. He didn’t tremble before ordering his damn assistant to agonize my sister this terribly.Lowering his head more, he gritted his teeth.“Think how I must have felt when she had hurt me and called me a mistake over and over again!” “Because you were,” I scowled, done with his resentment which caused Jacey to suffer so badly.“Do whatever you want. Nothing can sa
SAAFIA’S POV:-“Mister Dariel Cannedy had declined the accusation openly that none of it was real, neither news nor those pictures and this incident is now regarded as a fake attempt by his rival to degrade him.”The TV was on where the news was being played. I held a scowl on my features, sitting on the couch with my legs crossed and a never ending grimace on my face.“Tsk,”How I thought I would surprise Dariel but everything went towards a terrible path and I saw no single hint of delight on his face. “We can see how low humanity has fallen that they no longer care about people’s sentiments and can become vile only to hurt others. Also to be careful, technology has gone too far.”They continued, clutching my dress, my excitement was also murdered, placed by a constant sting in my chest. “I can’t believe Helder would go this low to humiliate me publicly and for what? Why is he doing all this?” I growled.Displeased with how my perfect life was turned upside down. “On knowing fur
Dariel and I returned home finally. After weeks of waiting for this moment, I was home with my beloved, right beside him. Looking up at him in endearment, I was sitting on the bed. He was standing before me. I was holding his large in mine, gripping it firmly to encase it in my palm for eternity to never lose that warmth again.“You are not angry with me anymore, right?” I asked innocently, looking up at him worriedly.I couldn’t bear his negligence or rage further, it blanked my mind to the point I failed to process my thinking. He had turned me blind in love.“Whatever happened was not your fault. I was honestly stressed with everything happening. I didn’t want you to be disturbed because of me too,” He sighed, giving my hand an assuring squeeze before sitting next to me.I asked softly, “Is that why you sent me away?”He must have needed time and space after what he saw to register his situation before reacting. “Yeah, I have been dealing with all this. My head is throbbing so b
THIRD POV“How could you do this to me, Tilda? You married my brother? Why?” Harry argued.The ache of finding Tilda as his sister-in-law was immense, he resented how she neglected their bond yet agreed to marry his brother.“He was my Boss… we fell in love and it just happened. Look, I-I didn’t know he was your brother. By the time I came to know. It was too late.” She reasoned sorrowfully.She also didn’t intend to marry the brother of her ex but it was too late by the time she realized that. “What do you expect me to do now? What am I supposed to tell everyone now about Helder?” He growled, stuck in a terrible situation.“You never… said anything about me?” Tilda asked in disbelief. “I didn’t want them to curse you for leaving me with a son.” He sighed, shaking his head in denial.No one in his family knew who was the mother of Helder, they only knew that she abandoned them and left them. “I.. am sorry, Harry,” She apologized sadly, looking down in shame.“Are you happy with my
“NO!!”Mr. Cannedy died and at his demise his whole family was devastated. His accident left a scar on Tilda’s heart, it weakened the happy family they were. “How could this happen? You promised to return soon, why are you doing this to us, my love… Wake up, please!”She sobbed, clutching his lifeless body, resting her head over it, not letting anyone take it away.She considered her life with Lark her blessing, her beautiful future.His demise scattered her felicity. “Mama,”The kids sobbed, afraid to go near her Mother who was screaming her anguish out. She entirely devoted herself to her husband, she couldn’t bear it.“Lark…!”The kids were worried for their mother who stopped eating, talking, finding no meaning to her life anymore when Lark was no longer with her.And seeing her weakened state, Harry decided to utilize this chance and advanced on her. “Don’t worry, Tilda, I am here for you. It’s going to be alright,” He whispered, placing his hand on her shoulder when she was c
Though Harry was the one who started telling, Jacey who also came to know everything too, shared it with Jared who was baffled.Blinking, he asked nervously, “Why are you telling me all this?”“I… found a hidden dairy in Mama’s room. We never touched her private things, she wrote everything there for us and a message for Helder,” She shared as they were in a park, on a bench. She was looking down, wanting to share the weight on her chest with someone. “What message?” “I think I should tell that to him,”“So you are saying that your Uncle was behind your Father’s murder and your mother knew but kept it inside? For Helder?” He trailed off, narrowing his eyes to perceive if Helder knew about it or not.“Yes… She was carrying so much weight that it eventually killed her.” Jacey’s voice broke, hating how young she was that she couldn’t do anything for her consolation.She was heartbroken that their mother was in too much anguish that the remorse of her sins caused her to end her life.“
DARIEL’S POV:-“She left us! She left me! She left Helder for your Father and I hated it! She made us like this!”I blinked in disbelief when he told me everything. My chest clenched upon knowing everything. My body trembled as I stared at this unbelievable man.“How… Do you expect anyone… whose home you destroyed, whose spouse you killed… to.. Love you?” I whispered vaguely, staring at him with a sorrow brimming in my chest.“She made me do this. I didn’t want to but why did she return in the first place?!” He yelled.Slamming his hand down furiously but I forgot all my boundaries and limits and punched him in the jaw.“How could you say this, asshole!?” I yelled, losing my breath when after ravaging my family he was blaming us. “You killed my father, you destroyed my family, stole our rights, put my mother into depression. Heck, even you made Helder like this and considered yourself innocent, dammit!?” My voice broke when I hit him again until Saafia held me from behind to not cro
