46: He was never mine
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56"When it's gone, you'll know what a gift love was. You'll suffer like this. So go back and fight to keep it."
Ian McEwan~Quynn POV
A few days ago I would have been happier with the news of the finding of my bag because that meant I could get my phone and most likely get in touch with Anna, but I have called the number given to me by the stranger earlier and it there was no answer.
If all was okay with Anna why didn't she come for the switch? Why isn't she here planning her own wedding? Is she even looking forward to her wedding? If yes, why is she MIA on this very important week?
Questions that can't be answered run through my head and I shake them out to retain composure and I make downstairs to meet Eli after I heard the sound of his car in the driveway. The front door opens and he steps into the parlour he's wearing a grey long sleeve

This is the end, this is my end, the end I have dreaded since the beginning of this mess. My whole body trembles and cold grips me to the core and I am panicking and dreadful of what lies ahead. My eyes grow blurry but I blink them back because tears are the last things that I need right now. My breath grows laboured and hard and my quivering hands become sweaty as she hands me the keys to the car and I confusedly collect it.

"There are many who don't wish to sleep for fear of nightmares.

There is a window to the side, which somehow the sun manages to penetrate through even with the curtain acting as a barrier. The sunlight as well as the brightness makes her eyes sting and she wince and shuts them for a while and she mentally tries to adjust to this alternate reality. She cannot remember the last thing that happens and she tries to carefully rethink and understand her situation better.

I'm so excited to write it. Please leave comments. Thank you.Glory T!na xoxo***"What irritated me most in that entire situation was the fact that I wasn’t feeling humiliated, or annoyed, or even fooled. Betrayal was what I felt, my heart broken not just by a guy I was in love with, but also by, as I once believed, a true friend."~Danka V¶15th April, 2002.Moans after moans welcome me as I approach my apartment, and I roll my eyes as I sink my key into the door and open it. The loud moan accompanied by heavy grunt coming from my boyfriend makes me want to b
Ms Wilson's Replacement 2: It's not as good
"Shame, blame, disrespect, betrayal, and the withholding of affection damage the roots from which love grows. Love can only survive these injuries if they are acknowledged, healed and rare."Brené Brown¶I open the house hoping that there would be no one in the house today and that they won't be until I'm out. Ade doesn't work and hasn't bothered looking for one since he lost his last job, but he gambles a lot and any money he makes from gambling, he keeps it so he can gamble away the next day.Today is Tuesday and hopefully, he is at the betting bar, probably drunk already.Why the hell am I wasting my time thinking about him?I enter into the kitchen and pick the things that belong to me there— which is everything. I brin
Ms Wilson's Replacement 3: Why so rude?
"It is a wise thing to be polite; consequently, it is a stupid thing to be rude. To make enemies by unnecessary and wilful incivility is just as insane a proceeding as to set your house on fire. For politeness is like a counter--an avowedly false coin, with which it is foolish to be stingy.~ArthurSchopenhauer†Six months later“Are you even listening to me?” demands an angry voice and I snap out of my daydreaming and see a middle-aged woman looking— more like glaring at me.Although her screaming in my face was the very reason I zoned out, I try to recover myself and be polite. “I am sorry ma’am,” I say and her pink whipped face becomes a red one.I glance down and I see a doll on the counter before me. Yes, she was saying something about the doll. Was it malfunctioning or is she having a change of heart ab
Ms Wilson's Replacement 4: Karma is an asshole
"Not only is there often a right and wrong, but what goes around does come around. Karma exists."~Donald Van de Mark¶My eyes are wide my mouth is ajar, gasping for air. The jogging took my breath away, but the lady in my room whoever she is has just knocked the air out.Startled and confused I place my hand on my chest trying to calm my racing heart and a million question flies through my head in that very moment.Like how she got to my room? Because there is only one key to my apartment and I have it with me.Why she looks exactly like me?What the hell she wants?And how the hell did I not see her when I walked in?She looks like me and though her hair is in a treated and slightly curled blonde hair with fringe. Her eyes are light brown with close-set eye shape while mine are dark brown w

"People with weaknesses get killed by the people who lack them. Notice I'm not dead."Sherrilyn Kenyon"Quynn Hudson, I am Anna Wilson, I am Eli Wilson's fiancée and in five weeks I will be his wife," she says the Wilson name with much emphasis on the Wilson as if it was supposed to mean something to me.Wilson; does that name sound familiar? I wonder to myself before coming up short. No, it doesn't. Well, is it supposed to? Also no.At least the stranger finally put a name to herself, I've been calling her Lucifer's younger sister since I saw her more than half an hour ago.She then takes the next hour briefly introducing herself, Family, background, work and things I didn't find interesting to know.She's not my lost twin because according to everything she just said, she knows her birth parents and they are still alive the last time she

"The truth will set you free, but first it will piss you off."~Joe KlaasEli's POV Amade said he would be in my office as soon as he finishes with his assignments as well and when I told him that Anna gave us permission for the bachelor party, he was thrilled and promised that it would be a blast then I told him Anna was going to have his head on a stake if he didn't bring me back home in one piece. That wasn't what Anna said but I'd like my use of words for better emphasis.I am almost done with the last document when the door opens and Keffi walks into the office.She's wearing a green blouse and a plain black trousers, her hair is in a pony tail and her face having her usual natural make-up with a red lipstick sealing the deal.

"If you come from a family where there is no struggle to outshine one another, give thanks to God."~Michael Bassey JohnsonQuynn's POVI feel like everything is falling apart before my very eyes and I cannot help pacing around and thinking about what I just did and said back there. I have no idea what in God's name came over me. Jumai has never been a fan of Anna and it wasn't news, but I should have held it together at least for Eli's sake. Now, I succeeded in proving what Jumai have always said about me is true pacing beside the car and when she sees me. I see Eli approaching me and I stops and walks up to him with apologetic eyes."I'm sorry I said all that to your mom, I just lost it and I don't make the wisest choices in my moments of anger. Just lately things are not going the way I expected and I'm losing it and I didn't mean for you to see that s

"Perhaps one did not want to be loved so much as to be understood."~George OrwellColdness breaks out onto my skin and my throat runs dry as I stare at Anna's parents in awe. "You are not our Anna.""How did you know?" my brow narrowing is the only expression my face gives even though I am tumbling on the inside.Maria steps forward and gently takes my hand, "We were Anna's parent for fifteen years and we could tell you weren't her the minute you spoke. And indeed it has been long, but we raised Anna and we know what's unlike her. We believe that you are Cara Wilson our long lost daughter." Her eyes are glassy and filled with much hope and happiness.I turn to look at Eli who is far away and unable to hear what we're saying, "Then why didn't you say anything?""Because it doesn't look like you have a choice in wha

"The truth is rarely pure and never simple."~Oscar Wilde"What?""Your mother was pregnant we went to the hospital for delivery but unlike the ultrasound predicted, we ended up with two babies. When the doctors came to me with the news I was happy and joyful we have been trying to have kids for years," he laces his finger in Maria's as he speaks. "Your mother went into coma after delivery and so we couldn't leave after the both of you were born, so you were kept on the hospital's new born baby's ward. I went to visit you guys everyday that your mother was in that coma and that was the most painful and joyous moment of my life. I was happy that you two were in our lives, but the doctor's couldn't ascertain that your mother was going to come out of the coma and I couldn't raise you two alone."The fourth day of my visit, I saw a man in the baby's ward, holding onto your

"The fear of missing out was a powerful deterrent." ~John CarreyrouQuynn's POVI didn't think I was going to find them, Anna biological parents without having to search the whole town. Eli suggestion to meet Anna's parents was the worse idea ever and yes it would have been a reasonable suggestion if he was giving it to Anna but he wasn't and I was trapped with saying no and making him more suspicious of me and saying yes and throwing myself under the bus.Since the night he brought me home he has been very careful and suspicious and I can't blame him, it's was all Anna's fault and every day I can't help cursing her for ruining my life. This week is a week I didn't plan for and I feel like I'm leaving on borrowed time and I can't even pray that this end with me being free, that was last week prayer and God answered that
