Eunice’ POV

After signing the stupid counterfeit document, I was in my room for two days straight up.

I was staring at the walls, in the dark, just trying to clear my head. But it was not an easy thing to do.

Being betrayed by someone you have only loved since you knew how to love was something that can mess you up for a long time. You’d heal, yes, but what makes you heal faster? Revenge or time?

Annie knocked on my door each night, bringing in food for me to eat. But most of the time, I had no appetite for much food to eat.

“Darling, please eat up. Only when you eat would you have the strength to resume work,” my mother also comforted over and over again. And with this, I was starting to eat more and more. Better.

Three days and two nights after signing the God-forsaken document, I rose up from bed and stepped out of the room for the first time.

I was much leaner, my face was sober. But then, it was time to heal, as I always said again and again:

Like a bird, I would fly again.

    Eunice’s POVHave you ever seen a cat sneakily moving undetected to attack a prey?For instance, in the widespread living room of a home where the owner has a cat, the cat moves too silently to catch the erring mouse which just infiltrated their home? That was me.This was how I have stayed silent for two years. Two years I have been strategizing, planning, making silent moves on how I would take down Tyler and ruin the company I built for him—or better to say, for us.They say you should be a better person when someone has hurt you. You shouldn’t hurt them back and blah blah blah. But let the tides turn. You’d watch those who advised you to not hurt someone be the first to carry a gun, to hurt those who have messed with them. No one has the right to tell me how to react when I have been hurt. They should just pray the one I am coming for has all the heart to take the hit.Two years, I’ve been heading Maison Vivre, and within that period, I’ve created a new branch which does the very

You should really pay attention to your mother’s diet. She is not eating well and she is not taking her medication at the right time,” said Doctor Joel the instant I stepped into the room.I let out a sigh, feeling the weight of his words press on my shoulders. It was a known fact that after Lola insisted she wouldn’t be doing any cooking or chores in the house, everything fell apart. Because of this, I hired a nanny for my mother and a chef to cook for all of us.But a few weeks later, the complaints started.“She is useless. Her food tastes like dirt!” Lola yelled.“She is terrible. She doesn’t take care of Mother good enough,” she nagged about the nanny too. And after more than a few weeks of unrest in the house, I just had to send the chef and the nanny away and hire new ones.But did the new ones do better in the eyes of the Almighty L

    Tyler’s POVI saw the way she froze at that question, as if she had been caught off guard about something bad she did and didn’t want anyone to find out. But she quickly masked it with a smile.“What do you mean by this nonsense question? Am I supposed to know why God made her skin a little bit darker than ours? Or do you want to imply that I cheated on you?” she defended harshly.The question hit me like a rock in the face. How could I have questioned the attribute our dear child has just because it was a little bit different from us?Everyone wanted to have a unique child. A child so unique and outstanding that it would bring her family to fame. With Jasmine’s type of blue eyes, when she grows older, we can register her in a modeling school. And from there, she could start representing her name—our name—her city, in fashion parades.

I dialed her number quickly.I didn’t need to rehearse what to tell her. She was a nice woman, as people on the street had spoken of her. Everything I needed to say was already formed in my head. I just had to tell her the whole truth—how my business was in jeopardy due to the fact that she sold her property to someone who launched the same business I had been using to feed my family for years.“The number you are trying to call is switched off. Please try again later,” said the robotic feminine voice on the phone.“Fuck!” I cursed, knowing how important this call was to my life. Still, I didn’t back down easily.

My mind had been resolving around the drama that a business wrecker had made on my business.

    Eunice’ POV"Congratulations, you are two weeks pregnant!" Doctor Miranda beamed as she passed my test results across the desk.I couldn't contain my happiness. A wide smile spread across my face as I looked at Dr. Miranda, my heart swelling with joy."Thank you so much!" I said, my voice brimming with excitement.My husband, Tyler, and I had been trying for two years—two long years of disappointment and heartbreak. Just when I had begun to lose hope, I was finally pregnant. The realization sent a wave of relief through me.Eager to share the news, I headed straight to the mall to pick up fresh ingredients. I wanted to surprise Tyler over a well-prepared dinner—his favorite meal, paired with the best news of our lives.I carefully selected everything I needed: filet mignon, vibrant asparagus, golden Yukon potatoes, and a basket of ripe strawberries. A bottle of red wine caught my eye, but after a brief hesitation, I opted for sparkling grape juice instead. Tonight was special, and I w

    Eunice’ POVI faked a smile at him, unwilling to let him know that I had detected a foreign perfume on him. My mind was still processing it, but there was no mistaking it. I was the one who always went to the mall to help Tyler choose a new cologne whenever he needed one. I knew the scent he always wore like the back of my hand. This wasn’t it. This scent on him now—it was definitely a woman’s. My heart clenched, sinking like a ship struck by torpedoes. The excitement I had carried moments ago, eager to share my news with Tyler, evaporated in an instant. We gently pulled away from the hug, and I collected his briefcase, helping him remove the long coat draped over his suit. This had always been my routine whenever he returned home. In the past, I would have done it with a bright smile, carrying his briefcase upstairs with lighthearted joy. But tonight, sadness weighed heavily on me. “Is that seared steak and roasted asparagus?!” he exclaimed, his excitement evident as he made hi

I also had the right to visit, didn’t I? After Tyler left for work, I walked downstairs and headed to Diana’s room, making sure I prepared her some breakfast and fed her before she’d take her medication.“I’m going to the grocery stall,” I told her..I slid into my car, drove out of the driveway, and headed straight to the company. The moment I arrived, I could feel that something had changed. The atmosphere at the company felt different.Six months ago, before I left to fully take care of Tyler’s mother, Sonya and Tasha were our receptionists. But now, I was seeing new faces—new faces Tyler never mentioned to me.Since they didn’t know me, I decided to act as if I were just a regular customer. I knew the CEO’s office was always upstairs, and Tyler would be coming downstairs soon. This was the usual practice—employees w

    Tyler’s POVI opened the door to our room upstairs, and what I saw shocked me.Lola was staring into the TV screen, watching a porn movie. She was completely naked, fondling her breasts and fingering her private part by herself.I opened my eyes widely at the sight before me. Before I knew it, my third leg was already rising from watching Lola do this.Lola was a lady whose body physique was all about sexiness. She knew how to get me into the mood whenever she wanted to do that. This was also one of the primary reasons we fucked in the office like there was no tomorrow.Just as my thoughts caught up with the present, I noticed her little baby bump. At that moment, I remembered what the doctors usually said on TV: “When your partner is pregnant, it is most important to also have sex with them because this helps them during childbirth. If you neglect them, it becomes too tight, and easy delivery becomes a problem.”Quickly, I walked to her and sat next to her.She rubbed my chest with h

How can a pregnant woman be doing such hard chores? Do you want me to lose my pregnancy? My baby, our baby.” She shed some tears and with this, I realised that I might be overreacting.I shouldn’t have asked her to help me clean my mother’s room, or cook for her so that she could use her medication.Feeling remorseful, immediately, instead of heading to work, I walked close to her, kissed her belly, “I will handle it.” I said to her,She smiled at me now, wiping her tears. Then she kissed me on my forehead. “Make me some breakfast too babe.” She sounded.“My baby needs it. Our baby needs it.”With no choice but to comply, it has been a while since I cooked anything.
