With a heavy bite on my quivering lips, I am acutely aware of the misstep in my words. Yet, Cameron remains unyielding, his steps closing in on me until my back meets the wall. "What did you just say?" he demands, but I know better than to repeat my folly.My voice, barely a whisper, trembles with remorse. "I'm sorry," I manage to utter. "I shouldn't have said that, especially when you were defending me from the clutches of that chameleon-like woman."Suddenly, he suggests, "Maybe you should find your own way to work," and without granting me a moment to protest, he turns on his heel and walks away.In an instant, my hopes of sharing a ride with Cameron to work vanish into thin air. It's disheartening to think that I was actually looking forward to it, as it would have been the first time such a thing occurred, and he was the one who offered. But alas, I've squandered my chance through my own foolishness.Sighing, I take a seat on the bed. Now that Cameron won't be driving, is there e
As the sun rose on a new day, Cameron stormed into the room, his face contorted with anger, catching me in the act of nursing our baby. Instantly, I sensed that something was amiss, and with a heavy heart, I gently set the baby down, determined to shield our innocent children from witnessing their parents' discord.Leading Cameron out of the room, his footsteps reluctantly following mine, we found ourselves back in the sanctuary of our own space. The door closed with a resounding thud, and Cameron turned to face me, his eyes burning with accusation."Are you deliberately trying to ignite my jealousy by engaging in an entanglement with my ex flings brother?" His words dripped with disdain, refusing to even acknowledge her as an ex-girlfriend. Yet, I knew exactly who he was referring to, though I couldn't fathom what I had done to deserve such a damning accusation."Isn't it Cecilia's brother?" I struggled to recall his name, no matter how hard I wracked my brain. “Truthfully, I haven't
As I lay nestled in the warmth of my bed, entwined with Cameron, any thoughts of venturing outside to meet the mysterious man dissipated into thin air. However, our peaceful moment was abruptly interrupted by the piercing ring of Cameron's phone. Curiosity fueled within me, and I couldn't help but gaze at him, suspicion etched across my face. In a suspicious manner, Cameron rose from the bed, shrouding the caller's identity from me by shielding the screen with his palm. This act left me deeply unsettled, and I vowed to uncover the truth behind this secret conversation.Straining my ears, I yearned to catch even the faintest whisper of their discussion. But Cameron, determined to keep me in the dark, denied me even a glimpse of the caller ID. This only heightened my concern, and I swore to unravel the enigma of this mysterious caller in due time. Eventually, the call concluded, and Cameron nonchalantly returned to bed as if nothing had transpired. However, my mood had already been tai
I was once looking forward to today but now every bit of excitement I felt earlier has disappeared now that Sasha was to accompany me on my little exploring journey. Last time I checked she wasn't too fond of me, it made no sense that she was trying to get close I knew there was a close chance that she's up to something but I told myself to relax and let the plot expose itself, either way I kept my guard up just in case.My first stop after leaving the house was my favorite restaurant. Sasha, looked at me as if I were alien while we stood before the mini restaurant building, "didn't we just have breakfast moments ago?" Truth is I have not adjusted to their form of dieting yet even when I worked there I barely tasted any of their foods. Not like anything was wrong with except most of my favorite foods were street foods which explains why after breakfast every morning I'd never be satisfied and would always sneak here to satisfy my cravings. It works every time and today I was craving
Hand in hand, we marched towards the battleground, prepared for the imminent clash. Little did we know, the scene we expected to witness had vanished into thin air by the time we arrived. Surprisingly, this news brought a wave of relief over me, for it meant we could finally find respite and indulge in a meal at this restaurant. However, as I glanced at my companion's countenance, a sense of sorrow clouded her features, prompting me to swiftly adjust my own expression."I apologize for my excitement," I murmured, realizing the weight of my previous elation. "Now that I have what I desired, should I succumb to a breakdown?" It dawned on me that the confident demeanor she had worn was merely a facade, a shield to ward off the tormentors that plagued her. Beneath that facade lay a wounded soul.Observing her crestfallen expression when she discovered the girl had vanished without a word, I sensed her longing for a confrontation with her. She settled into the vacant space beside her, invi
As Sasha devoured her second feast of the day, I gently tapped her, capturing her attention. "Listen," I began, "I know you're thrilled about our newfound friendship, but we must keep it a secret, away from the prying eyes of Gina and the others."With a mouthful of rice, Sasha replied, "Of course, I'm not a fool. I understand that. To be honest with you, the reason Gina allowed me to visit was to shake things up in this household, which also explains why I've been drawn to you."I had already sensed Gina's ulterior motives from the start. "You don't have to blame yourself for that," I reassured Sasha. "I knew the moment I laid eyes on you at that table."Suddenly, Sasha interrupted my thoughts, her mouth still full. "You know, I think you're far too exceptional for a man like Cameron," she blurted out, causing me to pause in astonishment. But she didn't stop there."In fact, you're too good for this entire household. Though I've known them for years, I can't help but speak the truth,
When Sasha and I arrived home that evening after walking around all day, we put up an act pretending to be at odds. And just as expected Gina appeared to be loving the show meanwhile I was almost dying from laughter on the inside. Oh, how easy it was to fool her.At least I was thankful that I had a friend now, some one to confide in. Ever since that day I haven't set my eyes on Ruth. I suddenly remembered that I had purchased a car that day, along with my belongings that were forgotten. I knew I would have to go back for them sooner or later, but first I must prepare my mind. I walked into the room with a yawn but was however forced to pause mid air upon finding Cameron sprawled across the bed. He eyed me distastefully before proceeding to question my whereabouts, "where have you been?" In that deep husky tone that let me know he's about to snap. I was at the verge of panic until it hit me that he was present this morning when Gina asked me to show Sasha around."Weren't you at the
I was shocked when he moved closer to me cradling my sobbing form, this caused me to cease crying and look up and him but Cameron's attention was directed elsewhere as he slowly rubbed my back. "I didn't mean to be harsh but the truth is I'm the one who got you into this mess." He admitted with a sigh, "if we weren't married neither of those women would be after you. While he wasn't wrong, I have never for once blamed him. I wanted to tell him that it was fine and we would eventually pull through this but it seemed like he wasn't done talking yet. "I'd hate myself if something happened to you."That took me by surprise and even caused my heart to skip a bit, not only was he worried about me he was also admitting it to my face. I couldn't help but notice that he seems a bit off today, but I'm not complaining it seems to be a good thing rather. "And I'm not saying this because I'm in love with you or anything." His voiced filled the air once, and I chuckled barely holding myself bac
