A quick question... Is Samantha really ging to "right every wrong", or she is going to make everything even worse than is already is? Please let me know what you think in the comments below... Lots of love, RARE (and oh, today is my birthday... I will be waiting for the warm wishes on I*G, wink wink)
SKY POVThe thing is, I did know what I was going to find back in Atlanta. I did know what Samantha’s return would mean to every folk in Georgia and how things were going to change in just a night. But that still didn’t prepare me for the thing I found back at the manor.I knew that with everything that had happened in New York, especially Samantha's sudden appearance, there were like, zero chances of Kayden and me to ever getting back together. I mean I knew it that our fate was sealed, but walking into a stone-cold house, with no one but myself, hurt in more ways I didn’t think. A great wave of sadness sank deeper into me when I walked into our bedroom, which was dark, gloomy, and awfully lifeless. Everything that occurred in here seemed pointless like it was just a long dream that faded away with the morning light. The pain that came with the thought of it felt like a giant dagger that was sloshed into my heart, twisted, and turned all over. Diego knew things were going to be like
KAYDEN POV10 Days.Full, and awfully long 10 days since the last time I saw her. 10 full days since I discovered that my long-dead ex surprisingly sprung back to life. Oh wait, she wasn’t even dead, to begin with. To others, 10 days would seem like nothing, a couple of hours bundled together and spun off and prolonged. To me, it felt like a lifetime of torment and boundless persecution. Everything around me had fallen apart in just a second, and the days that followed were just a continued replay of what had happened.To say that the past days were easy on me would be one big fat lie. They were far from easy. I was far from being okay, and being alone with my thoughts felt like a different kind of torture where I kept spiraling down a dark, deep, bottomless pit of gruesome pain, falling without ever reaching the ground. My mind couldn't stop replaying everything that had happened. Every single second. My own thoughts screamed at me no matter what I did, and being alone had come to b
SKY POVThe girls’ company plus hard liquor were the exact distraction I needed to get my mind off the mess I was in. The night was still so young, but we emptied over 3 packs of ciders and were on the fourth one. I held my liquor so well, and it took some greater and stronger booze to get me smashed, but the light buzz was just enough to get me in the mood and make me forget about the problems of this life.That, plus the fact that everyone around me was smashed to their wits’ end. It was so funny to be the only one sober around drunks. Te’a broke down into a series of sobs at some point, and Luna was suddenly a chatterbox who deemed it necessary to tell us about all the things they did with Brandon in the bedroom. Some of them were straight out of the jokes dictionary because there was no way Brandon loved having his ass stretched by Luna’s fat toes. I mean I get it, they were a couple and I am sure they were up to some freaky stuff, but guys come on... All in all, I laughed so ha
KAYDEN POVThe morning arrived and without being told, I knew I had to fuck off from Ken’s place. Last night we had left it so sour that the idea of seeing his face first thing in the morning wasn’t so desirable. It’s not like I was mad at him or something; everything he had said was right but truthfully, it felt like he was turning his back on me when I needed him the most.I know I was being selfish and incessantly sensitive because I couldn’t always put myself above everyone else, but this time, right about now, I needed him around me. But then again, I couldn’t always be the priority now can i? Everyone had their own shit to deal with, and I couldn’t epitomize myself on everything. Without wasting any time, I got up early and left before he could even wake up. But I was human enough to send him a text letting him know I had left to the manor. For the past few days, I have been crashing at the hotel, if not the hotel then back at the office and it felt strange to be going home aft
SKY POVIt has been a full week since the grand resurrection of the national wife, 3 full days since I had fled from the manor running away from the mighty wrath of Kayden the Great, and over 76 hours of pure isolation and lockdown.Expectantly, the solitude I found at Diego’s place gave me time the space and time I needed to wrestle with my mind and cushion myself for almost everything that waited for me. Although I was tugged away safely from the hating fingers and prying eyes of the public that were impatiently waiting for me to arise from my hiding, that didn’t mean the universe had stopped slamming the nuts because I tell you, it was rough out there. It was hard most of the time, I won’t deny that. But the seclusion meant crying ugly tears with no pitiful ‘awwws’ and coos shoved in my face so I was more than thankful. Trust me, I was filled to my neck with pity that the idea of it was revolting.More so because I was suddenly this crybaby who wept at least four times a day, but
SKY POVThe rest of the night was filled with agonizing thoughts of my very seemingly impossibly future. I tried to piece together the fragments of ideas in my head, trying to see if it was probable to even let this kid come into this world. But the more I thought of it, the more nauseated I became. All I wanted was to curl in the ball and die right there. At least this big mess would come to an abrupt end.The girls left in the middle of the night because I was an ugly mess of tears and snorting, and there was nothing they could possibly say or do to calm me down. Diego told them I had to adjust my feelings and have the rest of the night to myself, and the girls agreed to give me the time I needed. I had thought I would fall asleep as soon as they hit the door but sleep refused to come, so I spent the rest of the night tossing and turning in the bed, listening to Diego’s ugly snores as he frolicked in the realms of his dreams.The next morning, there was no difference between a panda
SKY POVThe ride to the Campbell manor was short and very haste. And before I could even settle with my mind, we pulled into the giant private estate and drove down a long, narrow paved road that delved deeper into the vast, enormous yard. I watched as the car rolled past the trees, causing my mind to go down memory lane. Although I didn’t have happy memories of this place, I had one person who made all the pain worth it.Heavy sadness settled in my heart when my mind reminded me that the very same person who made me smile when I was young, was the very current epitome of my pain, situated right at the heart of my heartache. The main reason why I was so conflicted, hurting almost every second of my day. Sooner than I had hoped, we rolled in front of my childhood home and watched Tobias as he stepped forward to open the door. “Hey,” Arthur called out, I peeled my eyes from the door and settled them on him.“We’re here with you. Nothing is going to happen.” His reassurance almost had t
KAYDEN POV“And that’s our cue to leave,” Cassie mumbled softly under her breath before pushing her seat back and standing up. I was still awestruck by Sky's sudden outburst that my tongue felt heavy. But I wouldn't lie and say I wasn't moved by her brave declaration of our love in front of her senseless family. To think that they would orchestrate such a thing was still beyond my understanding. What did they take us for? What did they take me for? Some prize to their daughter who clearly wanted nothing to do with me?“Oh, Cassie. We can still continue with our dinner plans, I mean there's so much to talk about.”“That’s right Mrs. Smith. Don’t loud the bad apple to sour your taste.” Marcus added up to his wife’s crazy rumbling causing the food in my mouth to turn bitter in an instant. Exasperatedly, I threw the cutlery onto the plate and got to my feet as well. Arthur followed suit.“Excuse me.” I didn’t wait for their approval as I tore off from the dinner table and took off after Sk
