LennoxI was barely able to concentrate on anything for the rest of the day. Diamond and that kiss was the only thing on my mind. Thankfully, I didn't have much to do. I tried to control my headspace during the revaluation of Alicia’s medications and all of my other duties for the day. Even though the hours were practically skipping by me as I reminisced for the better part of the day, that kidd Diamond and I had shared. It took a lot of willpower for me to pull back, and thinking back, I wish I hadn't but it's not something that should be decided solely based on my wishes. A lot of things were at stake right now and I didn't want to make the same mistakes I made in the past again. But the kiss made me realize one thing: I was completely and totally in love with Diamond Caddell. And I never stopped loving her. She's the only woman that has ever tickled my fancy in a way that even I could not put to words. It's like I couldn't get enough of her no matter how much I had her. She had m
DiamondOh God, what was really going on with me? This was the only thought rummaging through my head as I packed up my stuff reading to go back to the confines of my own till God knows when. One thing that really made me sad about getting suspended was the fact that I had developed a connection with some of my patients, and I was highly inclined, having developed an affinity to want to help. I always want to help my patients but with these patients I have a connection with, it was more like I needed to help. They had complete trust in me, in the fact that I could make them well again. Asides from trust, their hope was me. For some like Alicia, her hope of survival was me and Lennox. I trusted Lennox to handle everything but I still remained sad that my zeal to help her and the rest of my patients had been cut short. Worse of all, until further notice. It would have been better if the medical director told me that I was suspended for a week. Or two weeks. That would make more sense.
I got into my car and began to drive home. At least I got the day off work, though that didn't seem to console me much. My entire thoughts throughout the drive back home wasn't on the fact that I had private photos going all around the internet. I wasn't even thinking about how those photos had even gotten on the Internet, who was behind it, the drug test that I took, I wasn't thinking about all that. There was only one man on my mind: Lennox Winthrop. Ugh! I shook my head vehemently as if trying to shake off all the thoughts of the man. I turned on the radio of the car and began jamming to songs that I wouldn't normally listen to. Even after increasing the volume so as to block out my thoughts, it didn't work. My thoughts still seemed to travel back to Lennox. I kissed his soft lips. God, he was such a kisser, I almost forgot that. His kiss was like a drug, you take one and you want more and you just can't stop. And God help me, I was thinking about kissing the man again.
DiamondFor lack of a better word, I was stupefied. Actually, I knew the better word but I would rather not say it. Considering that I had threatened Principal Carter the last time I had seen him, it made sense that he would like to retaliate this way. And he had just the perfect excuse. I looked up at Rebecca who was looking over at me with pity. “I'm so sorry this is happening to you, Diamond. You really do not deserve this.” I nodded, smiling painfully. “I could take the heat but when it involves, I draw the line.” I told her. “Could you please send me the contact information of the board member?”“Already did. But don't you think that whatever you say to the board member now, man or woman, they're probably just going to see it as you trying to get back at Principal Carter for kicking you out?” I thought about it for a second. Rebecca made a very solid point. After my last meeting with Mr. Carter, he was probably worried about his job, trying to come up with an excuse to discred
KarlTim told me to be there for Diamond even before he did what he did. I should have seen it coming, I should have known that what he was planning was unreasonable. Yet, I let him go ahead with his stupid decision and now Diamond was suffering because of me. I didn't know how to be there for her knowing fully well that I was the cause of everything wrong going on in her life right now. I felt an immense amount of guilt that I rather not feel so I pushed all the blame to Tim, showering him with threats of what I was going to do if he didn't fix this. For the 7th time in the space of last night and this morning, I dialed Tim again. When he answered on the third ring, I said, “I don't see you doing anything about it. Diamond's nudes are still circulating the internet.” “Man, this is going to be way harder than you think.” He answered. I could hear the frustration in his voice and it only infuriated me. He had the guts to be frustrated after leaking a woman's nudes online and destro
DiamondIt’s been a full whole day and about twelve hours since somebody who apparently disliked me for whatever reason decided to release my nude and sex photos to the entire world for whatever reason, and up until now, I still haven’t regained the lapse in my memory, and I still haven’t figured out who this person was. The only information I had now was that I had been lured somewhere and I had been violated. I wasn’t touched or anything, I was sure of that. I would have felt it in my body, thank goodness for that. Which brought me to the realization and the conclusion that the person only wanted to humiliate me. Which was a shame because I don’t think I have ever been that cruel to anybody to warrant such cruelty in return. I had tried to think of who this person might be. I had even been crossing names on lists. Ordinarily, the first name on my list would be Agatha but since we’ve reconciled, we seem to be in a good place right now, so that automatically checks her off the list.
LennoxI spent the whole night rethinking and probably regretting my decision to ask for a divorce. Not that it was already a decision, but it also wasn't a suggestion. With barely any sleep, I got up the next day and just did some briefings with the doctors at the hospital before heading downstairs for breakfast. Today was the day of Natlia's open day so I didn't need to go to the hospital this morning as I took the better part of the day off. I was only going to go to the hospital in the evening for my patient rounds and that was just about it. After a very quiet breakfast, I got ready and waited in the living room for Natalia and Agatha to come down so that we could head to school together. It was the tradition that after every open day, we would go see a movie and get some ice cream. It was our way of commending Natalia for a job well done at school during the term. We already knew she was going to do well as she was an excellent student. So going to see a movie was already a gi
AgathaAll through the car ride to Natalia’s school, I remained quiet while the soft music continued to play in the background and Natalia continued to work in her coloring book. I may not show it often, I may appear to be strong, but I only just hide my vulnerability through anger. I only just try to show people that I wasn’t affected by going off on everybody. I turn a blind eye to the littlest things because I say it doesn’t affect me. I try not to be remorseful because when you appear to be weak, people will take you for granted. And I didn’t want to be taken for granted. But it appears that after my many years of putting on an act, I was still as easily disposable to Lennox as I was the day I had married him. Not even years of marriage could change that. Not even our child together could change that. I was simply someone that Lennox had taken in to cover up the shame that accompanied being a mistress to a married man. It’s not in every story that the man marries his mistress and
