Rodney POV
Thank goodness I was able to pull myself together up at the stage. The song is actually dedicated to my mom.
I sang with a shattered heart, I couldn't let my tears out, so I gladly let my heart did the crying. F**k! She really broke me.
How could she leave like that?
How could she just disappear without no traces?
I walked slowly, finding my way to the restroom. I closed the door after I came out, I turned to leave after doing my business from the male toilet, but someone bumped into me and tripped. Gosh!
She nearly fell,, but I quickly caught her by the waist and pulled her to myself. She shut her eyes and breathe out in relief. Sincerely, I was also relieved I could save her from falling.
I watched as her little hand rested on my broad chest. She finally glanced up to look at me, and I froze instantly.
Her sharp blue eyes pierced into mine.
Her innocent face stared back at me.
I knew her
Tamara POVI switched on the living room light and I felt my heart left my chest at the sight before me. He was sitting on a single couch in the living room with a bottle of liquor in his hand.Holy Christ!“Slutty creepy princess” He sneered as he stood to his feet and I swallowed hard as I cowered a little.He was walking towards me now, and I could feel my whole body vibrating.I followed his gaze, and it landed on the wall clock.Jeez! It was 9:45pm.I was quite late.“Where are you coming from?” He inquired coldly, and I felt my lungs tightened as I sought for what to say.Oh good Lord,What do I say?“From…work” I stuttered, and he slapped me hard across my right cheek.Yes,I was expecting that.“You are coming from work dressed like a whore?” He fired, and I shook as I held my pained cheek.“Give me your phone,” He ordered.&ldq
Rodney POVShe reluctantly came into the car and exhaled softly. “Hello” I said quietly to her.She looked up at my face and froze immediately. “Rodney Shaw?” She muttered, and I just nodded perfunctorily.She became so tensed, which earned a little smile from my lips. “You don't have to be scared girl, I just wanted to ask you a question and I will be glad if you could answer me correctly, I told her, and she quickly nodded her head.“Where's your colleague now?” I inquired calmly, turning to face her with keen interest.She breathes out deeply, and it took her some seconds before she eventually spoke up. “She has not been coming to work for the past two days now” She replied pathetically, and I cocked my brows.“Why has she not been coming to work?” I asked her again, and she shook her head sideways. “I don't know either,” She replied, staring out the window.“B
Somewhere in the USA…Micheal Shaw POVTears pricked my eyes as I stare down at Margaret adoring smile in the picture frame. I picked it from the nightstand and held it tight to my chest, letting my tears flow freely from my eyes. “Where are you, Margaret?” I sobbed.“Just come back already and fight me. Please”I cried for what feels like a long time and finally wiped my tears with the hem of my t-shirt.“I miss you, Margaret,” I whispered, using my forefinger to trace her lips in the picture.I sniffed my running nose before returning the picture to its previous position and picked my cellphone beside it. I unlocked it and went through my contacts for Rodney's number.I dialed his number immediately I found it, and he picked up after the second ring.“How are you doing, son?” I asked, trying to sound cheerful like usual. I wouldn't want him to notice I just stopped crying. “Wha
Tamara POVI was still sitting on the same spot, with a lot of thoughts running through my head. A car suddenly halted in front of me snapping me out of my thoughts. My eyes on the car, I watched as two guys in black suits alighted and began to walk to my direction. I gulped nothing as I stood up from the bench. "You need to come with us, ma'am" The first guy on sunshade said calmly immediately they stood in front of me. I shivered with fright. "Who are.. you?" I stuttered, while cringing. Oh my goodness! I screamed inwardly as the realization came clear to my face. My father had sent them! And without warning, I took my heels."Tell my father you can't find me!" I screamed on top of my voice, still running. Iturned to look at them and they were already running after me.Christ!I ran for a long time and when I was so sure they were not running after me anymore, I finally stopped running on a bridge, panting heavily.I flipped my hair backward wi
Tamara POVThe driver drove into his mansion and halted in the parking lot.Wow… There were so many cars.He alighted from the car and I also did the same, still avoiding his nice-looking face.Throughout the ride, I was nervous, and I felt like becoming invisible beside him.I couldn't hide my excitement when he had suggested I should come with him, I nearly jumped on him. I mean, any normal lady would kill to swap position with me now.“Holy crap!” I exclaimed under my breath, immediately I glance up. Is this a house or a castle? I trailed behind him as I couldn't help looking around the whole place in complete awe. I didn't notice we have gotten to the main entrance door, and I almost tripped. So clumsy!I slowly stepped into the living room after him, and I could feel my breath choked in my throat at the sight before me. Goodness gracious! This was indeed heaven in earth.This place was a hundred million times preferab
Tamara POVThe sun glinted on the window and shines to my face. I slowly sat up and leaned my back against the headboard,I yawned loudly while flipping my hair to my shoulder. I don't even know how long I slept.A big smile spread on my face as the previous day memory flashes through my mind.My celebrity crush-my lifesaver!Aww- two in one.I slowly crawled out of the bed and headed for the closet, gleefully. I brought out all the dresses, grinning from ear to ear. Rodney is just too sweet.One of his maid had brought them to my room last night. My cheeks flamed up when she told me Rodney had bought them for me.I love you, Rodney!I will have to try them out one after the other, I thought, still smiling big*****I settled with a tank top together with a black shorts. I slide my feet into my new purple flurry slippers before sitting down on a stool, across the dressing mirror.I was brushing my hair when a knock came o
Rodney POV,I slammed my hand hard against the table.Rodney, seriously?You can't even concentrate anymore…What has come over you?Why is she getting into my head?Her calmness,Her blue eyes,The way she stared down at her feet whenever she was talking to me. Darn it!You are really screwed, Rodney!I don't want to believe this. No!It can never happen.“Mr. Rodney” I felt a light tap on my shoulder and I jerked up immediately. “What's wrong?”“Why did you hit your hand on the table?”“Are you tired of the meeting?” The board members rushed their questions, and I forced an uneasy smile. “If you don't mind, can we please continue tomorrow?” I asked them politely, and they all exchanged a quick glance before nodding their heads.“No problem” They all said in unison and with that, I stood on my feet and marched out of the confere
Tamara POV“I've found the person, which is you,” She pointed out, and I could feel my heart thud. “Me?” I asked in disbelief, pointing a finger to my chest, she nodded as she came closer to where I was standing. “Dear, I need you to help me with something,” She began in a tender voice, and I swallowed very hard.“I need you to help me earn Rodney's forgiveness,” She continues, and my eyes dilated in surprise. What was she trying to say?“I am Rodney's mother, and I've wronged him in the past few years and I know it” She paused, fighting back her tears and I felt for her immediately.“He's very pissed at me, he doesn't want to see me anywhere close to him, he's so mad at me, but I need my son back, please” She busted out in tears as she held my hands in hers.I snuggled her into my chest, stroking her scent filled hair. Rodney's Mom?She finally disentangled from the hug after a w
Rodney POV,Few weeks later…“Hey buddy” I heard from behind and I turned to the person. Jason.I nudged his arm and asked, “How are you, bro?” he nodded. “The decorations are really captivating,” He glanced around the whole hall with admiration.“Yes, it is,” I nodded in agreement as I also watched the men at work. “It's so obvious you really can't wait to confess your love to her,” Jason joked, earning a soft chuckle from my mouth. “To be sincere, I feel so nervous about the whole thing,” I told him, and he laughed silently. “I understand it's your first time Rodney, but you really have to do this before it's too late” He advised.“And remember, I still have my eyes on her” He teases with a knowing smirk on his lips and I couldn't resit the urge to hit his arm as we both laughed out loud.“Uh mm, Jason, don't you think you should come along w
“What?” They all said, simultaneously.“What are you saying, mom?” Rodney asked with a light chuckled as he come closer to me on my seat. “What do you mean, Margaret?” Michael added, and I could feel his eyes on me. I finally looked up after a momentary silence and I met their gazes on me.“I'm sure Margaret told you she had a twin sister,” I told Micheal. He stared at me for a while before nodding his head, I heaved in a long breath. “I'm Madelyn; her twin sister,” I confessed, bringing my face down shamefully.A short silence stepped in;what would they be thinking now? I thought, still not looking up to their faces.“I'm not getting this straight, Margaret, what are you saying?” Michael half yelled as he stood on his feet.I glanced at Rodney stunned face and turned to one of the white couch in the living room, staring blankly at it.I breathe out and made myse
Sienna POV:The unknown guy removes his face cap, and I couldn't help the gasp that escaped my mouth as I trembled on my feet.I murmured. “What?”I glanced at Margaret and caught her smiling to herself. “What are you doing here, Patrick?” I growled at him and then he smiled.“I'm here so serve as the only proof to the whole family” he replied dryly as he looks at everyone faces. Everyone were already standing on their feet, watching the whole drama with keen interest, including few maids.“Tell me you are joking, Patrick” I made to charge towards him, but Margaret stood between my way. “It's over Sienna, just let him speak” She said with a light smirk lingered on her lips.She turned to Patrick and beckoned to him to start talking, and I could feel my heart drop.Is this really happening?“You can't do this to me, Patrick,” I told him, and he bowed his head slightly.
Rodney POVAfter two weeks…I knocked softly on her door, “Mom” I called.“Come on in, son,” I heard her gleeful voice from inside. I bent the doorknob and walked in.She was sitting on the bed with her glasses on.She looked up from the book, I assumed it was a magazine, and smiled at me.“Come on, don't just stand there” She cooed, I smiled widely before walking closer to her on the bed. She tossed the magazine aside and pulled me close to her.I chuckled as I placed my head on her thighs.I watched her as she removed her glasses and dropped it on the nightstand.“Son” She called warmly as she shoved her left hand into my hair, I shut my eyes. “Hm mm” I replied, enjoying her warmth hand in my hair.“Naughty boy” She says and pulled my ear playfully. We remained like that for a few minutes, while stroking my hair tenderly.“Don't you think it
After a long drive, we eventually arrived at our destination. Henry screeched and halted the car, and we both stepped out afterwards.Where's this place?I thought, taking my eyes around the whole place; it was an estate.“Shall we, ma'am?” Henry snapped me out.I forced a small smile before I gave a nod.He walked ahead of me, while I followed behind him, we approached a cottage.Oh, Lord!!What's really happening?Henry climbed the pavements, I stopped walking, feeling so scared. I guess he noticed; because he turned to look at me with a genuine smile on his face.“Don't you trust, Mr. Rodney?” He asked me, warmly. I look forward around the whole surrounding again and breathe out heavily before climbing the pavements.He bent the doorknob and paved the way for me to step in. I took my eyes to his face and he offered a reassuring smile.I finally walked in, and I couldn't help b
The next morning…Rodney took his mom's right hand in his palm, without removing his gaze from her sleeping face. I also watch her on the bed with pure adoration.Yesterday, reconciliation was really touching; I couldn't help but cry along with both mother and son. Rodney wouldn't stop asking for her forgiveness; and she would just smile at him, lovingly.The woman really seems so nice.“Forgive me, mom” I heard him mumbled.I placed my right hand on his back, but he didn't budge, he only watched her face; stroking her right hand tenderly.I heard a soft knock from outside, I slowly stood up to get it; I bent the doorknob as soon as I got to the door and opened it widely for the person.Oh, Joanna!?I was actually thinking it was a nurse.I turned to return into the room, yes; it was a room; I learned it was their personal hospital.I walked back to my previous position, next to Rodney.I watched her as she
Rodney POVI heard Tamara shrieked as soon as she pressed her both hands to her ears.I looked forward from her face, and before I could register what was going on, I quickly placed my legs on the brakes, but it was too late, I had already knocked the woman down with my car.I hurried out of my car with Tamara scuttled behind me, and before I could catch her, she already landed on the floor.I was beyond shocked as soon as I recognized the woman's face, I stood rooted for a while as I watched Tamara rushed to her, I beat her to it, I rushed to her and crouched behind her and lifted her to my chest. I hugged her to myself. “Mom!” I yelled on top of my voice.People were gathered already as they watched the whole scene, while some took their time to record it with their phones, but I was less bothered as at then.Henry would have stopped them had it been he was here. “I'm so sorry, Mom” I wept profusely, she opened her eyes &ldqu
Rodney POV.“Then believe me, your nose is getting broken soon,” I threatened through clenched teeth, while I ambled towards him.He stood properly with his hands in his pocket as we both glared hard at each other. “I hate repeating myself, Jason, where's the girl?” I asked calmly, he chortled. “You are very funny, bro” He nudged my chest, amidst laughter.And immediately he stopped laughing, “You can't just come into my house and order me around, she is mine Rodney, so stay off” He snorted, I let my eyes stayed on his figure while I adjusted my shirt collar. I really don't have the strength to fight him today, I should just go get her myself.I brushed my arm past his to climb the stairs since we were so close to it, but only for him to dragged me by my collar and I couldn't help it any longer. I threw a blow to his face, causing him to land his silly ass on the floor.Good,He groaned inwardly and stru
Tamara POVThe following morning,“Good morning” I greeted Jason with a slight bow, he smirked while gesturing for me to take my seat.“You still want to become my maid, isn't it?” He teases, earning a little smile from my lips.“How was your night?” He asked after I took my seat across him in the dining room, I beamed. “Thank you very much for saving me, I'm deeply grateful,” I told him sincerely, staring at his face.“You shouldn't thank me, I still owe you an apology, you know?” He said in a low voice, more like a whisper, with pleading eyes. I furrowed my brows. “What apology?”“For everything, for being a jerk all those time we spent together; I am truly sorry,” He apologized, his eyes fixed on the flower vase on the dinning table. “It's okay, Mr. Jason” I told him, he frowned, looking cute.“Mr. Jason, Really?” He asks.“Af
