CARTER'S POV"Eat my son," My mother encouraged me. She didn't want to bother me anymore with her questions. She just kept saying eat and nothing else.I had gained a little of my appetite back. So, I ate a little from my remnant and finally came to a stop.Taking a napkin to wipe my lips, my mother asked if I was done. Didn't give a clear word, but just hummed, since I was still attending to my lips."It still looks a lot. Won't you eat the rest?" She asked me.But I told her I was satisfied and thanked her for the meal. "Will be heading back now," I said, stepping away from the dining table.I noticed she wanted to speak, but I immediately turned around and walked out of the dining room."Let me escort you then," She said. Meaning she's following me from the back.I didn't wait for her to get to me. She might want to do something just to delay me. I didn't stop to face her.Got outside of the mansion and straight into my car. My mother was almost close to me, but I immediately drov
CARTER'S MOTHER POVThe following morning came. It felt so quick to me when I heard the sound of my alarm in the morning.I had gotten myself ready and had my breakfast with Charlotte. She was looking beautiful like always. Fully dressed to go out and have fun."Will I take my leave now, mother?" She said once she was done eating her food. Took her purse and phone before bouncing out of the mansion.I was almost done with mine. So once I ate the last spoon, I went into the living room to rest, and not just rest, to call out to my son and demand an explanation.I haven't forgotten, no I didn't. I made sure that was the first thing that came popping into my head when I woke up.Taking out my phone, I dialed Carter's number. It rang for some minutes, before he finally picked it."Hello Mom," He said to me."Carter, I want to see you. Come over to the mansion, we need to talk," I said, tabling out my demand."Mom, I don't want to come over. I have things to do. We can talk on the phone so
CARTER'S POVMy words had pleased them both. Both these two women were pleased to hear what I had said.It's not the truth, but it's the only way to keep them from asking any more questions about what happened at the restaurant last night.I should have known that after that long face Charlotte pulled at me last night, before heading in, she'll still take it to my mother. Just to get her to talk.And goodness knows I hate matters like that. It's one thing I don't like to talk about. They make a fuss about every little tiny thing that happens. Just giving me so much headache and stress at the same time.Here I was, thinking I could just give my Mom the explanation she wants to hear that'll please her soul before dashing out of here. But Charlotte is here now. And I'm sure they won't want me to leave quickly."Thank you for your care Carter," Charlotte said to me. Still hugging me closely.I just hummed at her words. Having a detest to the way she was holding me close in the presence of
Without wasting much time, I arrived at the venue where I'm supposed to meet up with the Mafia boss, and just as I entered, the club house the music played hit me.I really don't like going into a club that much, but the fact that I'm going to meet up with a Mafia boss, I had to just go in there.I'm also into all this Mafia business, but I'm kind of different, because I don't really like clubbing that much, but I really like attending parties and having so many drinks, but I don't club.Whenever I'm in a club, I was only there for nothing more than business, so that's it. I sighed softly as I walked into the clubhouse fully.A lady smiled at me immediately she saw me, and walked closer to me, and tried to wrap her hand around me, but I stopped her, before she could even think of it."Why are you so mean, despite the fact that you are handsome." She frowned, and I didn't bother to respond to her, but I could tell she was already so drunk, because her breath smelled of alcohol.I just
I laid back on my bed, and I shut my eyes. My mum and Charlotte are really a pain in the neck, and if there is anything more I really wanted is nothing else than to go far away from them totally.I was really tired of their troubles, and I really don't need any more of their troubles, so I really need to do what I need to do to make sure they don't come close to me again.For now, I'm just working on getting back my wife Macey, because she is the most important person in my life right now. She is the only one I love, and I really don't want to lose her no matter what.I have made a big mistake by divorce her, but now is the time, I have to correct that mistake I have made, and I will do everything possible to correct that mistake no matter what. I thought and took a deep breath, as I sighed softly before shutting my eyes.I needed some rest, and I really hope I can get it. I thought but just then I heard my cell phone ring. I quickly raised my head, as I rushed to take up my cell phon
I took a deep breath and shut my eyes,as I kept thinking of her over and over again. I really love this lady, and I really don't know why I just noticed that now that we are no longer together.I really don't know what more to do at this point, but I really hope I find her soon, so that I can know what more to do with my life after she has returned into my life.I'm just going to keep looking for her, no matter what it takes until I finally find her. I won't give up on my search for her.I really know I don't deserve her right now, but nevertheless I would have to have her, because we are meant to be together forever and always. So I have to continue my search for her.I thought and took a deep breath, before slowly opening my eyes. Somehow I felt like doing something meaningful with my time, instead of just sitting here doing nothing.I could remember the fact that I told one of my guards to search for her, but until now, I still haven't heard anything from him yet. Though it hasn
After a while, I finally got out of the bathtub, and grabbed a towel as I went into my room. I made my way over to my bed, as I tried to dry my wet body with the towel.I grabbed some clothes and quickly got dressed immediately, as I had my seat on my bed again, before glancing at the wall clock in the room.It was already 11pm so I guess my mum won't be coming here again, because it's already so late.I know what my mum likes doing, and walking out late is definitely not one of them, so I guess I would be at peace tonight without anyone coming in here to trouble me.I thought and just then a smile found its way into my face, as I sighed softly. Just then my cell phone started ringing, and I slowly moved towards it, as I took it up.It was actually my mum, and I took a deep breath, before pressing the answer button. "Hello mum." I spoke up immediately and I placed it on my ears."Carter, what did you do to Charlotte?" She asked me the questions with an angry voice."I didn't do anyth
I took a deep breath, as I tried my best not to think about it, because the more I tried to think of where he could be hiding the more I failed.I have really been away from here for a long time now, and I guess I really don't know much about Carter anymore. If there is actually anyone who would know about his whereabouts right now, then it is actually no one else, but his ex wife. And honestly I'm not really ready to think about her right now.It's good they are both not together anymore, but I could tell that Carter doesn't like me, all because of her.The Carter I know would never joke with me, the way he was doing right now. Honestly I really hate the fact that I have to be looking for a way to make him love me again.Carter actually loved me so much before, but right now everything has changed all because of that low life called Macey.If I ever have the opportunity to meet her again, I will make her life a living hell, because that's really all she deserves and nothing more than
Macey's father was already bleeding so badly, from the place he was shot, and I wished I could help him up the spot, but there was no way, because we were still in a deep battle, and we just started doing that now."Sir, go in, and try to attend to your wound, I will handle them." I finally spoke up, hoping he would listen and just go in."No, there are too many for you to handle, I can't let anything happen to you, I know my daughter cares so much about you, besides you were still injured yesterday, so let me stay here and help you out." He said stubborn, and I sighed softly."You are losing too much blood, please go and attend to your wound, if Macey loses you, she would never be happy again, besides she has been away from here, she just came to see you this morning, after so long. Please sir, listen to me and do this for your daughter." I pleaded, and he took a deep breath, and mouthed 'okay,' casually before leaving me there.I continued shooting at them, until I killed all the gu
We went straight to the table, and I took an excuse before finally leaving the party. At least I have shown myself there already, so I really don't want to stay until the party comes to an end.I walked into my house with Anna behind me. "Come on Macey you really didn't have to leave the party so early, besides I haven't even enjoyed the party yet." She frowned once we were finally in."I have a lot of things to do tonight, so I really needed to be home early, remember I have a flight to catch in the morning." I told her, as I had my seat on the couch, while I bent to take off my shoes."Even at that, we should have stayed there a little longer at least until 11pm before coming home." She said, and I widened my eyes in disbelief."Come on Anna you can't be serious, are you?" I asked her, as I finally tried to compose myself."I'm very serious Macey, you and I know how much I love parties, and we had the opportunity to attend one today, but you didn't even let us stay." I sighed softly
I wasn't too comfortable with the fact that I took the call from an unknown contact, but I just tried to be confident and placed the phone on my ear."Hello ma'am Macey, it's me Peter, your father's guard." He spoke up immediately and I answered the call, and I just sighed in relief realising it was something I knew."Oh Peter, what can I do for you, hope all is well, and daddy is doing just fine?" I asked immediately, still trying to figure out why he was calling me, because from what I know, he has never called me before, since I started using this contact, so why was he called me then."Your father is not fine, he is so sick, and he said he wants to see you, before he dies." He told me, and immediately I couldn't feel my heart spanking."What!!!" I exclaimed, as hot tears clouded my eyes immediately."Yes Miss Macey, you have to consider coming home soon, so you would get to see him one last time before he finally dies." He advised me, and I totally hate the fact that he said that,
I guess I made a horrible mistake for taking the call without checking the caller ID first. "Mum, I told you already, that I don't want her here, because I am too busy to attend to her, and I told you that I won't go to see her even if she decides to come here, so stop bothering me about her." I told her off, and disengaged the call.I know she would be shocked, but I don't care. From now on, I don't really care about her, all I care about is no one else but Macey.So until I get back into my life, nothing else matters, and no one else matters too, so I don't need to get myself all worked up because of my mum.She can get angry at me, but I really don't care. To me it doesn't really matter now.I thought and sighed softly, as I continued walking out, but my phone kept ringing, knowing fully well that it was my mum, I just ignored the call, and proceeded into my car, and drove off immediately.I sat comfortably as I placed my order, but just then my eyes went to Macey and Anna walking
MACEY'S POVIt was another weekend again, and honestly, I was really grateful. Since the incident of Carter kissing me in the office, I had been away from the office.I stayed home for two days, and I only just went to the office yesterday which happened to be on Friday. I really can't believe Carter has the nerve to kiss me, despite what he had done to me before now.But somehow I'm still very surprised that he actually kissed me, Because for the three whole years I was married to him, he never for once kissed me. So why would he just kiss me now out of the blues.Was he really trying to play with my feelings or what? or does he know that I still have feelings for him, and he has plans to take advantage of that fact? So many questions popped into my head, and honestly I wished I could get an answer to them all.I stood up reluctantly from my bed, as I was still laying down. When I woke up this morning, my head was just filled with different thoughts, and I didn't see
Chapter 36"Anna I'm sorry, but I can't sit up, I promise to make it up to you in the morning." I managed to say, as I could feel my eyes slowly closing."You are just so lazy sometimes." She said, and stormed off and honestly I felt really good that she had gone away.Once it was morning, I got dressed, and so was Anna and after breakfast we left for the office. I thought of going over to Anna's office too like the previous day, but I figured out that would make me look weak before him, so I quickly decided against it, and waved at Anna before making my way to my office."So this is it," I took a deep breath, as I made to grab the doorknob and somehow my heart was pounding, and I felt so nervous too, but why?After staying there for a while, I finally decided within myself to step in, which I did without thinking twice."You are finally here today, I'm so happy." He smiled, and I frowned and just ignored him, and went straight to my seat."Here check this out." He stretched out some
Chapter 35Once I was done, I walked back into my Suite, and got dressed, before placing a call across to the attendance placing order for food, which was brought to me almost immediately.After eating, I climbed into my bed, but couldn't sleep as my mind was still very much clouded with the thought of Macey. I really couldn't believe what was happening. Or why I couldn't stand up to her and just tell her what I feel I really needed to tell her.I could still remember how she would always cry like a baby whenever I or mum did something to her. But now she is really a high standards lady, who doesn't give a fuck about me anymore.I really neglected her feelings back then, and it's really so hard for me to stand up to her and tell her mine, because she might want to pay me back for all I have done to her.I thought and sighed softly while I shut my eyes, and turned over to another direction on my bed. "What would she be doing right now?" I asked no one in particular, as I remained on my
I sighed softly, and left the kitchen as I went to have my food. I know Anna must really be upset right now, and it wasn't really right for me to yell at her that way. I thought as I tried to hurry up with my foodI finally stood up afterwards, and got ready to leave, and once I arrived at Anna's house. I knocked while she just came to open the door almost immediately like she has been expecting me."Anna, I'm really so sorry for the way I spoke to you, I really shouldn't have, and I know you were only trying to look out for me, believe me, I really appreciate it." I told her, while placing my hand in my chest."It's okay, I totally understand you, and I shouldn't have made you leave the house anyway before if I haven't we won't have gotten into that kind of a situation." She said, but I told her, she had done the right thing, because I really needed to go out of the house for a while to cool off."Even if you needed to go out of the house, you really don't need to go to a club, besid
Anna walked back into the sitting room all dressed up. "Where are you heading?" I asked her, not being able to stop myself."Like I said, it's a secret, you will find out when I get back, so just relax back here, I will be back soon trust me." She said, and grabbed my car keys."But Anna,do you think it a good idea to Leave me all alone in the house? Don't you think I would be too bored, considering how I am feeling right now?" I asked her, hoping it would do the magic of making her stay back or probably making her allow me tag along, because I really don't want to stay with her all alone. It's really not advisable to me right now. "Oh that's true, I never really thought of that." She sighed softly while biting on her figure."You know what, go ahead and get dressed, let's go out together, maybe you might feel a little better once we are out." She said, and I smiled immediately, as I tried to make my way out of the sitting room."No stop, I won't go out anymore, let's just stay toget
