On that day, Genevieve stayed at home, saying she wasn't feeling well. Joseck asked her whether she had enough cash to see a doctor, to which she affirmed, and her husband left the house.
Genevieve remained at home taking her breakfast and used the opportunity to catch up with her children. The two just gave her brief updates of what they would be doing that day. Natalie could sense that her mom suspected that her little secret was known, and that's why she didn't go to work. Her other assumption was that the mum had a date with her new partner.
When her mom left, Natalie went to Jonathan. They talked about why their mum would ask about them for the first time in a long time,. They still had not gotten hold of their mom's phone and grew impatient because they felt incompetent.

Jonathan doesn’t know how long he stayed at the restaurant looking at Betty’s receding figure.

Was it him for being blind in love? Was it Betty for not loving him back? Or was it Nathan and Monica who was Betty's friends and had played matchmaker?As he was wallowing in self-pity, he received a call from Natalie asking when he would be back home.Am on my way. He replied before calling the waiter to pay his bill and left for home.

That you don’t want him next to that lady?’ Monica asked.'Well, that lady is my sister,' Jonathan said, and Monica couldn't help but laugh.'She might be your sister, but she isn't underage. She knows what she is doing. You and Nathan can compare balls later on but not in such a public place. Come on, let's, 'Monica said, and they left the hotel.Jonathan got home in a bitter mood.

Jonathan's family had decided on settling the divorce out of court. Even though the children had known their parents were definitely headed for a divorce, it didn't make anything easier. They felt they were to blame for the failure of their parent's marriage.'I can't believe this is really happening to us. I have read so much about how families are broken by divorces, and never in a moment did I think I would ever be a victim.' Jonathan said. Between him and Natalie, he was the most affected by the divorce. He had never stayed away from his parents for long throughout his life, so he felt he would really miss the comfort of having two parents.On the other hand, Natalie had spent the last few years with her relatives and only saw her parents during Thanksgiving and Christmas. She was confident she would be okay with either arrangement. She just didn't like the fact that her parents were divorcing.Genevieve and Joseck went separately to the attorney who was in

Whenever Jonathan was feeling annoyed, he used to go by any water body. He loved nature, and just sitting next to water made him feel relaxed. He thought of all that had happened over the last one month, and he wasn't pleased with all.'What is wrong with me? Why do I keep destroying even the good things? 'He kept asking himself, and he couldn't get an answer to it.He thought of how excited everyone at home was for Natalie's homecoming. Then how days later, he had the discovery that his mom was having an affair, then the divorce, his big fight with Nathan, the silence between him and Natalie because of his fight with Nathan, and now the cold war with Monica, who had stood by him.He suddenly felt a figure beside him, and when he looked up, he saw that it was Natalie.'Hello, brother, 'she said, and Jonathan learned to give her a side hug. Both shed tears.'Am sorry. 'Jonathan said. 'That I keep on destroying every good thing that comes my way. '

‘Not that I remember of. ‘She replied as she headed to the door.She was surprised to see a lady she had never seen before. They stared at each other, each absorbing the features of the other before Jonathan broke the awkward silence and introduced the two to each other.'You knew she was coming, and you acted as though you didn't know anything, 'Monica said, amused.‘That is why it’s called a surprise. ‘Jonathan answered.The two went to the kitchen table, where they sat and ate their cookies with tea. They were happy. The only figure that was missing was Nathan, and they all knew it. They would look for him and make amends later on.Natalie and Jonathan were not in a hurry to go back home.

She thought it was such a beautiful place.‘How did you know this place? 'She asked.'When we were young, my parents loved taking us out of town to spend the weekend together. My sister and I would disappear and go swimming by some river, and we loved it whenever we were being looked for, and they couldn't find us.''Is that why it became your hideout?'‘Yes. Whenever I want to escape from reality and just be on my own, I come here. The other person who knows this place is Natalie. ‘Jonathan said.'Wow. You two seem to be pretty close. 'Monica said, and Jonathan nodded in affirmation.When they reached their picnic place, Monica was so impressed. She stood still, taking in the breath of the area, and Jonathan was happy t

She wept for her life and her brother's.She logged in to the Uber app and called one. She was taking a taxi back home. She knew her mom would not take it lightly, but she didn't care.Five minutes later, she went down the stairs and told her mom that she was leaving. Genevieve didn't try to stop her. She didn't even ask how she would get home, and that hurt Natalie as well.She boarded, and they left. She was lucky she always carried her credit cards with her wherever she went.

Melody was anxiously waiting for the following day. She was super excited to be leaving home for a while. She was tired of staying in Chicago because the place reminded her of the betrayal she had suffered just before the end of the junior school year.“Come in,” Melody answered without looking, after hearing a knock on the door. It was her father, Hector Perry. Melody and Hector were very close, given the fact that their family only consisted of the two of them.“Am letting you go because you have insisted so much. Otherwise, I am so afraid of letting you out of my sight.” Hector said.Melody got up from her bed and went to stand next to her dad.“I know, father. Please let me do this. I feel suffocated after what Mark did to me. I can't believe he would betray our trust like that,” Melody said unhappily.Her dad was nodding in silence. Melody hated leaving him alone, but she knew she couldn't risk meeting

Single men, dating, married, poor or rich all wanted her, but she went for Paul thinking he was the saint he portrayed himself to be.She could have said no, but she was confused. He might change, she thought, but now he wasn’t going to.He proved that over and over again. Dorothy got tired but didn’t know how to break up with him, and she was grateful he was finally gone, although she didn’t like the circumstances surrounding that fact.“Here is your tea,” she said as she placed the cup of tea on the table before Aston in his studio. She took a few sips of hers before placing her cup on the table too. “The weather outside is beautiful today.”“Yes. Yes, it is,” Aston confirmed, although his eyes never left Dorothy. “How about we go somewhere else while this dries?” he suggested.“Sure.”Together with their teas in their hands, they walked out of the studio.

Stella observed the interaction between the two, and once again, she knew she had lost Aston to Dorothy because he never looked at her the way he was looking at Dorothy, and that spoke volumes.Stella stood up and straightened out her dress.“I’ll check on you later, Aston, and nice to meet you, Dorothy,” she said with a smile and walked towards Steve.They bid each other farewell, and she left the room.Steve sat down in the chair Stella had just left vacant, crossing his arms over his chest again. He said with a strange emotion in his voice, “You mentioned something about you thinking Paul would change. Has he done something like this before?”Dorothy let out a heavy sigh before replying, “Yes. Yes, he has. Many times.”“Will you be able to testify against him in court?” Aston asked as calmly as he could.“Yes, I will. I think I’ve had enough of him,” she finalized.“Well, I admire your courage, my lady,” Steve commended, further encouraging Dorothy. “By the way, did you meet the pa

‘’We caught this young woman trying to force her way into the ward, and we suspect she might be part of the paparazzi,” the first police officer answered.Steve observed Dorothy noting that she looked familiar then he remembered her. ‘It’s fine, boys. Let her through.The police officers released her arms, and Dorothy threw them a disdainful look, then sent a grateful one Steve’s way.He opened the door for her, and she walked in, thanking Steve with a smile.Steve closed the door with a gentle click and faced Dorothy. “He’s right this way. I’m not supposed to say this, Dorothy, but he’s been expecting you.”Expecting her? Did he want to see her? Did this have something to do with her, or did he just want to see her? She wished it was the latter.Wait, this is Steve, Aston’s best friend and the owner of ‘From Our Hearts’ gallery, but how did he know her?Steve seemed to sense her conflicting thoughts. He sighed and then said, “I can assure you that there’s nothing to fret about, and w

She opened her eyes and brought her fingers up to see them coated with her juices— and Aston hair she had been supposedly pulling happened to be her shower curtain.She just fantasized about Aston pleasuring, but it was better than anything she had ever had with Paul, and the best part —she didn’t regret it.She wanted more of it. She wanted to make it real, so much that she was started to became inpatient and frustrated.The reality of her situation dawned on her when she got out of the shower. She stared at the ring on her finger, and for the first time, she felt trapped.The ring became heavy on her finger, and it began to feel like a heavy burden on her. She slipped the ring off her finger and placed it on the drawer bedside of the bed.Suddenly, she wasn’t sure she wanted to spend the rest of her life with Paul. She closed her eyes to picture Paul in her life as she had always done, but this time, Paul was replaced with Aston.And that moment, it became apparent to her that she w

Dorothy turned around to see Paul standing there, arms folded across his chest and his eyes shooting daggers at Aston, who ignored him, by the way.“So I’ll call you and let you know how it goes, okay?” Aston asked while looking at Dorothy, who nodded excitedly like a kid.Aston smiled and then replied, “Bye Dorothy, and take care of yourself.”“Okay!. Bye Aston, and thanks for visiting. It really means a lot,” Dorothy said, as she walked him to the door.He stopped for a moment and took a look at Paul, who was still standing in the doorway.“And you too, Paul. It was nice to meet you,” she added, and with that, he walked out of their flat without waiting to hear Paul’s grunt of a response.Not wanting Paul to ruin her mood, Dorothy hopped past the grumpy Paul happily to their bedroom, humming a song.The only thing in her head was that her art was going to be at an exhibition– something she never expected to happen.For the rest of the day, Dorothy was in high spirits humming a favor

Dorothy turned around with a smile. “Hello Mr and Mrs Harris. Wonderful weather we have today, yeah?”“Absolutely,” Mrs. Harris chirped while Mr. Harris only nodded.“Let’s go in,” she said to Aston leading the way. “How do you like your tea?” Dorothy asked as they entered her flat, locking the door behind them.“Anything is fine, thank you,” he replied with a smileDorothy walked to the kitchen, and moments later, the sound of a kettle whistling was heard, followed by cabinets opening and closing.Aston took this time to observe the interior decor of the flat. It was an average-sized flat with clean white walls decorated with prints of beautiful paintings.Different artifacts, frames, flower vases, and books sat well arranged on the shelf.Wine-colored drapes framed the windows, and the inner lace curtains remained drawn, allowing the sun rays to enter, casting a golden sheen into the living room. The decor was simple yet beautiful and welcoming.This reminded Aston of the typical co

“Oh, thank you so much. You have no idea how much this means to me. And believe me, when I say coming from you means so much more,” she said.“I thought I was doing horribly, so I stopped painting for a while. I only began painting again when I came across your works in a gallery. I was in awe of hyperrealism. It was magnificent, and I knew I wanted to know how to paint like you,” she explained excitedly. “Meeting you here might be the best thing that has happened to me this year.”It was Aston’s turn to feel flattered, and he did ever so much. He had received a lot of compliments, but in a weird way, Dorothy appreciating his art made him feel he did something for someone, and it made him feel good.“I’m sure you’ll learn a lot from this class, and I can give you pointers if you want.”“You know I didn’t exactly enroll for this class. Mrs. Michael is my aunt, and she just allows me to join in and last week was my second time here.”“That makes sense. I didn’t think you paint. I though

For heaven’s sake, he wasn’t some teenager going through hormonal changes, so why couldn’t he stop thinking about Dorothy’s body and, even worse, smiling and blushing at the memory.‘’I guess we can now deduce my idea wasn’t laced with foolishness after all,’ Steve said with the smug look still on his faceAston scoffed, rolling his eyes at him, and said, “Don’t get ahead of yourself. I am still not convinced the class will do me any good.”“We’ll see about that, mate. We’ll see.”The whole weekend felt like torture to Aston. He longed to see Dorothy again, and it seemed the weekend was taking too long to end.Everything was confusing to him; what he was feeling about Dorothy and why he was feeling that way didn’t make any sense to him, but he just wanted to see her again.When Monday finally came, Aston could hardly wait till 3 pm when classes started, and by 12 pm, he was already at the building waiting for Dorothy to show up, but she didn’t.Class started, and she was still nowhere

In one swift moment, a bang was heard, and the whole dining table came crashing down, sending a wave of shock throw Dorothy.She had seen this happen so many times, but she could never get used to it. He promised to change.He said he was going to be better, but after two years and nothing had changed.The last time, it was the TV that suffered it, which took a while to replace, and now, the dining table had also felt the impact of Paul’s fist.The table was ruined; dinner was ruined too.“You love being a whore, eh? You love letting different men run their hands all over your body under the guise of art, right?” He barked the vile words pacing the dining room.The words made her feel she had just been prickled with over a hundred pins.“I am not a whore, Paul!. I am not! I love art, and you know it!” She yelled at him.He scoffed before he said, “Oh c’mon. You’re just using art as a cover-up. You enjoy the way these so-called artists of yours touch you.”He then grabbed her shoulder
