“Since you vehemently refuse to leave, how about you go back to being the maid you once were? Cecilia laughed. She sounded utterly ridiculous but Cameron wouldn’t say anything.

“You want me to go back to being a maid?” I repeated though I had heard her correctly the first time.

“Why? Don’t want to? Feel free to let me know if you have any complains.”

It was clear that she was taunting me, daring me to say a word in defiance. And although I desperately wished to yell the words crazy bitch in her face, I could only stand still and weigh the options before me.

Sure I missed my days of working as a maid, I never one day thought I would go back to being one. No doubt Cecilia was attempting to humiliate me by making such a suggestion, working as a maid wouldn’t be easy. I was aware that this was all a trap to get me to leave on my own, but even while knowing that. I still choose to jump anyway.

“I don’t mind working as a maid.” I said pretending to be strong, “I’ll take anything over bein

    As we made eye contact, I longed to hear him say that it was all a joke and clear up the misunderstanding but much to my dismay he retracted his fingers and looked away. “You should stop provoking Cecilia,” he spoke calmly, “my decision to divorce you has nothing to do with her.”I sniffed, “look me in the eyes and say it.” However Cameron wouldn’t budge, “even a little child can tell you’re lying.” It was all too clear. “Deny it all you want but what you can’t hide are your feelings for me, I see it clearly so I don’t know why you wouldn’t resort to this.”He turned around instantly meeting my gaze with a harsh glare. “I never loved you from the beginning, you were the one who kept forcing your way into my life, even after I told you that it would be impossible for me to love a maid in this lifetime, you still persisted. Why? Were you hoping I’d fall hopelessly in love and split my fortune with you?”“Excuse me?” I couldn’t help but blink in disbelief already aware of what he was in

    My heart was racing rapidly as I stepped forward and kissed him, I felt him go still for a moment but that didn’t stop me from pushing forward, however he soon regained himself and pushed me away in a hurry. Disappointment was written all over my face as I met his gaze, I was hoping he’d embrace me and pull me closer however the looked on his face hinted that he wanted absolutely nothing to do with me. Perhaps I was wrong?“What do you think you are doing?” Cameron questioned with a glare, “I already made it clear that we are getting a divorce, what if someone saw us? Do you realize the misunderstanding that would cause?”“You mean Cecilia?” It was very clear who that someone was, “if she was the one who kissed you would you have pushed her away like you did to me?” Honestly I was curious to know, though it seemed like the answer wouldn’t be what I longed to hear, still I wanted to hear directly from the horses mouth. “I have made myself very clear, from now what I do, who I’m with i

    He strolled off without waiting for a reply, leaving me standing there with my mouth open. As soon as Cameron was out of sight, my knees gave up on me and I crumbled to the ground placing a palm on my aching heart as I struggled to breathe. While I was busy bawling my eyes out, someone stepped into my view. I trailed my eyes up to find Cecilia staring down at me with a mischievous sight.“What a lovely sight to witness.” She marveled at my misery, “and what’s even better is that things are only going to get worse from now on.”I ceased tears immediately rising to my feet, now that there was only the two of us alone I had questions to ask. “What have you done to him?”“Nothing,” she shrugged, “he’s the one who came to me, begging for my help.”“And what exactly does he need help with?”“If I told you, you wouldn’t be able to do a thing anyway, so what’s the point?”I went silent, struggling to come up with a response, in the end it all boils down to my status, because I’m way too benea

    “Colton?” I repeated the exact words that had left her mouth however she seemed shocked and quickly compose herself but I knew there was more to it, her reaction was already very suspicious.“Who is Colton?” I questioned however Cecilia pretended not to hear me attempting to walk away but I quickly dragged her back.“Not so fast.”“What the hell do you want?” She snapped turning around with a harsh glare.“Who is Colton?” I repeated the question.“Colton? I don’t know who that is, in fact I’ve never heard the name before.”It was obvious from her tone that she was feigning oblivious, after all the name had escaped from her lips. From what I gathered Colton must’ve been the one who attacked me, but I’ve never heard that name before not from Cameron or anyone around. “Don’t lie to me, you were after all the one who mentioned it.” I refused to let go, my grip on her hand firm.“Let go of me.” She warned trying to appear threatening but my mind was made up, “not until you tell me who is

    There was a long pause between us before she finally looked up meeting my gaze, her lips parted open and I braced myself for her next words, “Colton is my father.” She said looking me dead in the eye. I found myself at loss of words, never would I have thought that the same person who wanted me dead was none other than Cameron’s father. But what connection did we have? I have never even met this man before, so how could it be that he wanted me dead?Too many thoughts were swirling through my head at the moment making me unable to process it all at once. Blair simply watched me struggle, her expression was hard to decipher however I am very sure that mine betrays my thoughts. No wonder Cameron seemed conflicted, no wonder the murder hasn’t been caught and no one said a word about it. Even the maids were struggling to keep this secret, they all knew. Everybody knew except for me and honestly speaking I can’t seem to be able to come to a decision.“And why on earth would your father want

    There wasn’t a hint of empathy in his tone as he stared at me eyes wide open eagerly awaiting my response. It was clear that my presence here made him uneasy and he was doing everything he could in order to get me to quit, however I couldn’t wrap my head around the reason. Was it because of Colton? Except for the fact that his father tried to kill me, what else is Cameron hiding from me?A such ache in my head caused me to moan out in pain bringing my hand to the throbbing area. I averted my gaze to the floor struggling to remain on my toes while Cameron continued to watch me attentively.“Don’t think doing that will make me pity you.” He spoke, however I wasn’t acting, my head felt like it was being spilt apart but Cameron didn’t seem to give a damn.The harshness of his tone caused me to regain my strength, without saying a word I started to walk away when his voice made me come to a halt. “Take care of yourself.”I turned to him in an instant utterly shocked at the words that had l

    He continued to push forward until I found myself leaning behind the closet door, something shocking happened next. In the blink of an eye Cameron pulled me forward, flinging the doors open and next thing I know I was being shoved into a dark corner. I was about to be alarmed when I watched him trail inside with me.“What the hell-“ I wanted to say but he forced me shut in an instant daring me to repeat my previous statement however I could only blink back and stare in shock not saying a word that was until Cameron’s lips came crashing on mine.He kissed me brutally like he wanted to devour my lips, it took me a moment to recover from the shock. My brain kept screaming to push him away but my body wanted quite the opposite. In the end I was unable to defeat my desires, my fingers crawled their way up his neck pushing him even closer as I deepened the kiss. His hand trailed down from my waist grabbing my ass then he spanked me really hard, this caused my body to vibrate in shock as I

    Instead of giving me the explanation, I desired Cameron continued to keep silent not even daring to look at me fed up at this I made my way to leave. However, he pulled me back, slamming me hard against his chest. I could feel his hot breath on my neck as he spoke, “don’t leave me please it’s not like I just don’t want to tell you I just can’t but trust me this will not go on forever. I will find a way to fix things, until then can you just be patient with me.”I won’t lie I felt so happy to hear those words it signified that’s my thoughts hasn’t been wrong from the start it’s not like he doesn’t love me. Situation is what makes him behave so however, I still found it, upsetting that he would choose to cast me outside instead of opening up his problems to me isn’t that what couples do, they share both happiness, and sorrow together but why is it that he’s always quick to throw me away as soon as something goes wrong this cannot be overlooked matter how I try to spin it.“You asked me

    “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to hide it from you.” She said in a broken tone drawing closer to me but I took a step back.“I was going to tell you truth when everything is settled, believe me Avery I didn’t mean to hurt you this way.”But I couldn’t get myself to believe her a second time, “you were aware that I couldn’t remember anything yet you chose to lie to me.” I felt so betrayed that I couldn’t get myself to look at her, I had my suspicions at first but after she saved me I chose to trust her. I can’t believe her father was responsible and she knew all this while and chose to keep it from me. Just like Cameron did, why do they all protect their fathers even though they’re not good people?“I never lied to you, yes my father is guilty but he didn’t do it alone. Colton is his accomplice, you can’t absorb him of blame.”I turned to Colton who seemed to be enjoying the situation at hand, before I could get the words out he beat me to it, saying, “I did covet your father’s company an

But Kylie is holding my arm preventing me from a taking a step forward, “don’t do this.” She pleads in a desperate tone, seeming anxious.I turn to Colton, “can she come along?” No doubt with her presence I would feel more safe but before Colton can utter a word Kylie refuses.“I’m not going anywhere near him,” she spat venomously, “even now my skin is crawling in disgust, let’s go Avery. It’s no use listening to him.”But even though I’d like to hear him out, after all I’ve only listened to one side of the story.“It’s not surprising that you act this way,” Colton says, “did you have fun feeding her lies? What? Afraid that I’d expose them?”“What lies?” I ask Kylie but she doesn’t respond, there’s a bitter look on her face as she avoids my gaze. It’s clear she’s keeping something from me. “I can explain,” she finally say

    For the longest time possible, I restrained myself from looking back. However, it soon became unbearable, and I was forced to retract my decision much to my dismay. When I turned around Cameron was no longer behind me. I don’t know why, but this made me upset. I had no strength in me to move further.With my heart rapidly, I leaned against the wall, hoping to catch a break. I spotted two couples walking down the sideways hand in hand, jealousy clouded my vision as I struggle to look awayWhy am I so thirsty for his love?

    I can feel the pain in his voice, his messy appearance further adds to my strain. I want to embrace him and say all is fine but I can’t seem to move my feet, deep down I’m still upset but I find myself feeling bad for him.What is this called? No idea.“Say something Avery.” Cameron nudges me back to life.My eyes trail up as I draw in a deep sigh, “honestly I don’t know what to say, my heads a mess right now. I want you to leave me alone at the same time I don’t.” I say truthfully even though my heart is racing rapidly, I crave for him to be closer. As if reading my thoughts, Cameron steps forward closing the space between us. He gazes upon me softly, In that moment my world goes still and it feels like there’s only two of us under the vast sky. A tear rolls down my cheek and he wipes it off causing me to shudder, but I don’t push him away secretly enjoying it. Even though my face shows no hint of happiness, because my heart is heavy. “I didn’t realize it back then but what I did

    I don't know why but my first instinct was to run, immediately I laid my eyes on him I descended into a hot chase. I could hear my name being yelled from a distance yet I did not care to look behind.Why am I even running? It's not like I've done anything wrong. In this case I'm the victim, the assailant is his father. If so, what does that make him?I don't know, but I wish there was a way I could find out.Right now I feel lost and confused, I don’t know who or what to believe. Is Kylie telling the truth? Did Cameron really treat me that way? If truly he doesn’t love me why is he running behind me looking like a mess.Though I don’t dare to turn back I feel his eyes on my back, I know he is chasing after me. A part of me wants to stop and confront him on what I’ve heard and another part wants to keep running, too ashamed to face him. Suddenly I feel a sharp pain in my knees causing me to slip and fall, it doesn’t take seconds for Cameron to catch up to me. “Are you okay?” He quest

    Finally everything made sense, no wonder Colton is so eager to find me. He must be under so much tension right now, I can’t imagine what would happen if the documents eventually falls into his hands. That would give him enough shares to overthrow Cameron, and I don’t want to see that happen. “But the thing is, no one knows where the documents are.” Kylie said breaking me from my thoughts. “Perhaps the old Avery might have an idea not you.” She sighed tiredly and I couldn’t help but agree. We’re just as clueless as Colton in this situation, neither of us knows where to begin search from.“You mentioned those shares have been untouched for a while now, honestly I don’t think the old Avery would know.” I say, “wasn’t I maid in the past? If I knew I had so much money lying around, why would I choose to serve others?”She turned her face away from me and scoffed, “I know you well Avery, there’s nothing you wouldn’t do for that man. I wouldn’t be shocked to find out that you knew but dec

    “I don’t think it’s just for you to accuse him like that.”Even though I couldn’t remember, I had a feeling that Cameron wasn’t that bad. I couldn’t resist the urge to defend him. Didn’t I hate him a while ago? What’s happening now. She drew in a deep sigh, “you’re so stupid Avery I can’t believe we are friends.”“Says you,” I rolled my eyes, “I don’t even know who you are, do you think it’s right to accuse my husband in such a manner.”“I’m only trying to help you, what don’t you understand!”“Well if you’re trying to help me stop accusing him without having concrete evidence.”She paused for a moment rolling her eyes through me, “I can tell you don’t believe me, but look into your heart, the memories are in there somewhere.”“I don’t care about those darn memories!” I screamed out loud. Right now the only person I want to see is him, even though he’s one of the reasons why I’m miserable. It feels like only he can alleviate my pain right now.“Listen to me woman!” Kylie grabs my s

    Jake drove us to a fancy hotel in town, as the car came to a halt I alighted ready to walk in when I saw the words CMN boldly written ahead. Turning to face Kylie, “isn’t it Cameron’s?”She smiled back at me and replied, “indeed it is but it won’t be for long.”However that was the least of my concerns right now, even after learning that Colton robbed my family of everything we owned, reclaiming the stolen properties was the last thing on my mind right now. What I desire is to lock him behind bars forever. “Don’t you think it’s risky staying here? What if he finds me? Also I have no money, I can’t afford a place like this.” Pausing to look at her, “and I don’t think you can either.”I only took out little from what Cecilia had given me, the rest was carefully tucked away underneath the bed. Who knew that the motel would catch fire and everything would burn to ashes, now I’m cashless with two mouths to feed. Going to the bank isn’t even an option when I can barely remember my own d

    Just as I was preparing to attack I heard a commotion outside which created a distraction as both men craned their neck to the direction the sound had emerged from while the woman continued to focus of the babies, I couldn’t help but notice how tender and soft she was with them.She didn’t look as bad as the other two, I made a mental note to say a word of gratitude when I finally made it out of here. “Go check what’s happening.” Chubby said to skinny who seemed a bit reluctant but eventually turned walking towards the exit.As the man walked away, he turned to face me, I could see the warning in his eyes. “Don’t you dare attempt anything funny, now tell me where you have hidden the documents.”As I opened my mouth to speak there was a loud bang resembling a gun shot, he quickly scurried to the ground for safety while the woman hid away in a corner. There came another shot, I knew I couldn’t just seat still and wait for them to get to me. Without much effort I easy broke away from t
