My relationship with Tom's Booming, we have our mini fights here and there like other normal healthy young couple, he is possessive in a good way, I kinda find it romantic, he is also clingy, he spends most of his time with me, I'm not complaining although sometimes it frustrates me, he and Grace are always on each other's throat, they behave like siblings, and man Tom changed, the calm, reserved and shy Tom vanished just like morning dew when the sun reveals itself from wherever it hides at night, the morning dew evaporates same as Tom's reserved personality, sometimes I wondered if I knew him like I thought I did.
I like the change though, he is more romantic, naughty, he does not hold back, he gives me the complete him, I got a job as an intern it's not much but he boasts about me all the time, praising me for silly things, like the food I cook, my achievements at work, he is 100% supportive.

Tom's povWhen I went to the market with Mercy a few days ago, I heard the villagers jabbering about Mercy's past, they were shaming her in their native language.We could hear their whispers though they were talking in hush tones, Mercy's mood dampened immediately.She disappeared after he and his family shamed her, he made her a laughing stock of the village.He broke her, but I'm glad he did because she's mine now, and I want the whole world to know that she's mine. I secretly bought an engagement ring for her, today I'm going to propose to her to prove these villagers wrong, she's a Diamond.I tightened my grip on her, activating my protective as possessiveness, the villagers throw dirty looks on us, and I gave them my cold look.I don't want my woman to be treated like trash, she's my queen the mother of my children, the woman I won't think twice to lay my life down for.I can tell by her gaze, her soft laugher, her sweet smile, h

Mercy's Povbeautiful chandeliers are hanging on the ceiling, sparkling with excitement just like my eyes, they can not hide the excitement and happiness they contain.I'm in a designer huge princess dress that perfectly hugs my body, it has a lot of sparkles and sparkling shoes, my hair is done in an updo, and top it with a sparkling tiara.Just like in the fairytales that I watched when I was little, I feel like Cinderella except that I don't have an evil step mom and sisters.Everything is bright and sparkling, It's my wedding day, the day I say I do to the love of my life, my mom walks with me down the aisle to meet my husband to be, we walk slowly to the Greek God standing before me, he grinned at me, we reach him, mom gives him my hand.The ceremony starts we exchange vows, I feel like I am floating everything feels surreal, then the pastor asks " if anyone is against this union, they should stand up" the pastor announces.My future mo

Tom's povI love Mercy a lot, it hurts that she is in denial but we all know tat she needs help, I have tried the best that I can to show her that I love her, for Christ's sake, I delivered my heart in a silverplate but she doesn't seem to care.I'm running out of ideas, there's only one person that can help me now,I fished out my phone in my back jeans pocket and called Grace, 15 minuetes tops, she's now approaching the bar counter where I have bee sitting for half an hour."this better be good, I had to cancel my appointments with my clients" Grace cringed when she met Tom's deadly glare. "Okay I take thar back my clients can wait, that look can paralyze a person, what's eating you?" She sat down signaling the smitten bartender over to her.I snarled when the bartender did not respond to Grace, she's rather busy gawking at me. She looked down in embarrassment, Grace chuckled "okay, what's wrong, with your looks I'm sure this happens daily

Mercy's povPacing back and forth in the living room, my anxiety disorder starting to kick in, I haven't had many attacks lately, for once I felt like a normal person with Tom and Grace by my side what I saw today made me feel like the fool I have always been, they have been having an affair right under my nose.Apart of me wants to believe that there's a valid reason why the lipstick stains were on Tom's chest but another part of me thinks that the answer to that is obvious.Tom did not bother to explain to me why was Grace's lipstick on his chest and why was he leaning so close to her, rather he freshened up and went to bed while my mind was going to burst at any moment from overthinking.I mean shouldn't he try and clarify this to me, or defend himself like other men do when they are caught cheating instead of playing it cool."Tom!" I screamed his name taking large strides to our bedroom, I did not find him there, but the bed is unt

Mercy's POVI stirred in my sleep feeling like someone hit my head with a break, my body felt numb, inhaling the most awful smell ever and a very irritating beep sound that made my head hurt worse than it did when I regain my consciousness, peeling my eyes open a bright light glared right at me, the lights in the room blinded me for a second I closed my eyes swiftly and opened them again this time slowly adjusting to the bright light.I don't remember climbing the bed, I only remember taking my anxiety pills, anti depress they did not help and I resorted to sleeping pills, they did not knock me out for 2 hours I might have taken a lot but I needed the voices in my head to shut down, who could've helped me to bed?.Beep! beep! The noise brought me back to reality I gazed at the white ceiling which does not look like the one I am used to, I tried to wake up to scout where I am and what's causing this unbearable noise, my arm hurt, I looked at it, my eyes widen when I

MERCYUnfolding the wrinkled paper, reading it for the hundredth time, tears burning my flesh, the warm liquid gushing down my cheeks. This is how I have been living my life since I came back from the hospital, to an empty apartment, Grace handed me a letter and left without a word, my entire world turned into shambles and it's all my fault.The first time opened the little envelope I felt a pang of pain within the depths of my heart, only a few words were jotted down // always have been and will always be in Inlove with you, regards Tom your husband, take care.//I did not know what to do, all I know is that I wanted to relieve the pressure I felt in my chest, my closest friend anxiety was so close for a second visit this week, Instead of welcoming my dearest friend's visit, I broke everything breakable in the house, photo frames, plates and a lot more.I crunched the piece of paper and threw it in the bin, the funny thing is every nig

TOMI watched my wife staring at me in awe, she scanned me from toe to head blinking her eyes several times before wiping them with her hands, I chuckled a little, I know it's not time to laugh but this woman is cute especially now.I took a step towards her, when I landed I had this little speech thoroughly prepared in my head, and now that I am here, all the words I had in mind flew out of the window, I braced myself for the impending Hurricane." am I hallucinating"Mercy whispered, "no" I took another step towards her, she dashed towards me, I steadied myself for the impact of her petite body, she crashed on me, and I held her in my arms inhaling her scent, she sniffed and sobbed hard."You came back" she sniffed " I did" I kissed her hair, "why?" She choked on her tears, "because you are my wife and I miss you" she snorted with a low laugher.Untangling herself from my arms, she looked into my eyes searching for something, I hope she doe

Mercy “ Devin” I cried out his name when I woke up, I remember him taking a bullet for me, everyone was in my ward except for him is he dead? I saw disappointment, hurt, and anger flash through Tom's eyes. “here” he stretched out his hand with a brown envelope I took it with shaking hands, he looked at me one last time before he vacated the room, everyone’s eyes were in me disapprovingly. I opened the letter /dear Mercy I’m sorry I hurt you, if I didn’t become part of your life you wouldn’t go through what you went through, I realized that I didn’t love you enough when your husband jumped in to take a bullet for you when he believed you when I didn’t, he loves you with every fiber of his bones, I am leaving for good this time hopefully I will find me another you.

Tom“ I told you to tell her truth earlier, are you happy now? I lost my friend" Grace said accusingly, she has been crying ever since Mercy kicked us out of her room, I regret not telling her the truth, I regret even more for being a coward back then, thinking of the trauma, pain and cruelty she suffered alone in prison makes my skin crawl, how could a human being be this cruel a woman to another woman, and that good for nothing idiot who couldn’t even protect his own flesh and blood.I left the hospital in a fit of anger, I was angry towards myself, towards Devin and his mom and that slut, in order not to think too much I drowned myself in work, after work I’d pass by the hospital, Mercy still refused to see me, I was ashamed for lying to her, I figured I should give her space but a divorce that will never happen.Grace called “ Tom Mercy disappeared” she said anxiously “what” my world fel

I was waiting for Monica to come by the office for lunch.“ have you heard?” She asked trudging to my office and closing the door behind her using her curves since her hands were holding food paper bags, I whipped my head from the papers I was dealing with to give her my attention.“head what?” I was fascinated by her appetite for gossip “ Devin exposed his mother and Glenda's deeds” instantly I was alarmed “ relax he did not disclose your name, I have to give it to him he protected you very well this time, I didn’t know he had it on him, unfortunately, that old hag committed suicide, what an easy way out ” she snorted“she did what?” that woman value

DevinI don’t know who keeps on making trouble for my companies, whoever it is, he’s intelligent than the people I’ve come across ever since I became a CEO, so I’m back in Johannesburg and the first person I want to see is Mercy I terribly miss her though she’s cold towards me, I trekked to her office with a big smile on my face, wondering if she had noticed my absence, does she still care like before.I reached her office door in no time when I was about to knock I saw her chatting with a blond woman, they were both engrossed in their chart and did not see me, “ you glowing, I see the weekend getaway did you good" the blond woman teased her, “ ow you don’t want to know, but I’ll tell you anyway it was heaven, I was so relaxed and forgot about everything, just me and Tom spending time together and you know" Mercy winked at her friend.I felt a heart-wrenching pain in my chest, she’s ha

MercyI was woken up by the rays of the sun, peeking through the white curtains, I smiled images of last night playing in my head, after that hot session of love making last night. Tom made us something to eat we were both tired yet full of life and anticipation of what we will do next, which was making love in our bed all night long, till I couldn’t open my legs, they were shaking.“You awake, come downstairs Antony and Maria are waiting for you downstairs, said Tom walking by my side and peck my forehead, his eyes were smiling “ you look like you woke up early" I commented snuggling in his arms, “ I woke up 3 hours ago, lazy cat" I gasped and he laughed.I checked the time and realized that it was 9a.m we slept in late last night, let me rephrase that this morning and yet he is up and energetic while I feel like I’ve been hit by a train, I dragged my tired body out of the bed and took a quick

TomWe were quietly eating, I made us a scrumptious meal, it was her favorite meal she ate a little then stopped, that bothered me, she wasn’t talking like she usually does, nor eating like she should “ something wrong with the food?” I asked her, I think she’s mad at me about the clothes, my lips twitched slightly, she raised her head “ it’s good” she replied in a bored tone.“Why are you not eating then?” I raised an eyebrow waiting for an answer, she stood up “ I’m full" she walked away, I suppose back to our bedroom, I sighed she’s stubborn and cute, my lips turned up, my daughter will definitely look like her, and hopefully she’ll be cute and stubborn like her mom, she’ll be the only thing left behind for me by her if she doesn’t make it, I want our baby to be her replica, that will sooth my heart, I'm beginning to accept her

MercyI opened my eyes, to find myself in a foreign place, I surveyed the place thoroughly thinking that maybe I am hallucinating, I was in a fantasy world, I have never seen a heart shaped bed before, dusty pink walls and lots of chandeliers on the ceiling. I blinked thinking that maybe I am dreaming, why am I in this place, where’s Tom, could it be that someone kidnapped me? If that’s the case why are they being nice to me, to provide such a beautiful room.I quickly jumped off the bed, and the blankets fell on the carpet, I was wearing fluffy pink pajamas, who could have changed my clothes, I began to be anxious, the door was pulled open, there he was Tom wearing a white transparent shirt and khaki pants, he stood by the door folding his arms on his chest looking at me with worry mixed with a slight smile on his eyes, his lips curved a little.“ Sleeping beauty is fi
