Hera's POV

The streets were dark and empty despite the pale moonlight that reflected from above. Stars littered the blanket of dusk, twinkling like tiny stones. In many ways, it was a beautiful night, a night to enjoy, but to enjoy it, one had to have the mind for it.

I sighed. It wasn't from exhaustion, although it may as well be that. This past week had been every kind of hell imaginable. Hours and hours of tracing dots, trying to make connections, and forcing cups of coffee down my throat so I could stay awake for just a little longer. No, this was more than mere tiredness. It felt deeper than that, more conceptual, as if my fatigue had leached through my bones until it could wrap around my very soul.

My mind raced with thoughts on how to find Juss. At least all my efforts hadn't been completely in vain. Now I knew what street she lived in, but with nothing more than that to narrow down my options, I was basically aiming blind. The thought of having to work through each

    Eggust’s Pov The constant buzzing sound of my phone ringing made it hard for me to concentrate on the meeting I was already bored of. “Mr. Flemming, I assure you, this expansion will be great for our company. Statistics show that over fifty thousand tourists come to Manchester monthly, our hotel will be located in the most juicy area in Manchester. At the center of all the interesting areas to visit. With this investment, I guarantee you we’d be making thrice the amount we make in our hotels in London.” Fredrick kept yapping excitedly. “Is that so?” I asked, trying to put my phone in a silent mode. I knew whom it was that had been calling, it was my father, and I wasn’t in the mood to talk to him. I wondered why he won’t stop calling. “Mr. Flemming, Mr. Flemming,” Fredrick’s voice echoed, piercing through my thoughts. Apparently, I had zoned out again, and wasn’t paying attention to some of the things he said. “Fredrick, I trust your judgement, but what

    Hera’s Pov I could still taste the bile that rose in my throat when I saw them together. He looked so happy, so cheerful. It was as if the darkness that had once consumed him somehow dissipated into thin air. As if all his sadness, his pain had been sucked into a void permanently. One thing that drew me to Eggust was the gloominess surrounding him at that time. I was happy I had found someone who was in the same spectrum of oblivion. as I was and together we could both find the rainbow. But he was happy with her, he smiled, laughed even. Something he had never done with me or any of the other girls. Who did Juss think she was to appear out of nowhere and steal him away? What was so captivating about her? I had red hair too! As young as him. I was even prettier and I knew how to pleasure Eggust better than she or any of the other girls, so what was the problem? It didn’t matter anyway, I resolved to get Eggust's attention back. All I needed to do was to remove her from

    Juss’s Pov I woke up to the feeling of comfort and warmth and a very masculine scent that seemed to be wrapped around me. I was drawn to his scent like bees are drawn to honey, butterflies are drawn to flowers. I wanted it to linger in my memories longer than anything I have ever archived there. It was lovely, like being in a scented cocoon, shielded from the bitter cold and hardship of the world. I snuggled in closer and realized that it was indeed a hard male chest I was curled up against. Was I dreaming? If it were a dream, why did it feel so real? Why did it feel like this person was already a part of me? Are emotions felt in the dream? I questioned myself, frantically. I popped an eye open and saw a very welcoming male arm wrapped around me. I could recognize him without having to see his face. My body was annoyingly excited to know that it was Eggust. I had to get away from his mesmerizing warmth before it corrupted my brain and any other thinking power I had

    Marco’s Pov. I felt Jessica's hands on my dick before my brain was awake. One would think your sex drive would be low when you have money problems, but for Jessica and I, it was entirely different. Even though we were well aware of the fact that we might not have a place to stay soon, because that bitch had attempted to sell our house without my consent. “What else do you want from me, Juss Indigo? You leave me muy rápido and now you want sell my house?” I promised myself I wouldn’t let anyone buy it. They needed to get inside to see before buying it, but that would never happen. Juss can kiss my ass and the devil’s as well. She had left without telling me. She knew I had issues at work and was on the brink of getting fired, but she still left selfishly. And what that American girl said, if she was really pregnant with my child but was making another man take responsibility for it, then she wasn’t different from me. We were both crooks with different ambitions. I d

    Eggust’s Pov When Juss kissed me, I was awestruck, like I had been shocked by an electric eel. I was too stunned to react. Things have been pretty fine between us since I arrived in Manchester. She was no longer pushing me away, or acting like it was wrong for two adults to have a baby. Maybe it was due to the new location, a place that no one knew who we were and no one cared about us. If I had known changing location would be the solution to all our problems, I would have arranged for that a long time ago. Although she was still holding back on a lot of things, I was certain that gradually, she would get used to me. She sashayed to the bathroom after kissing me and leaving me in a frenzy. I noticed the door was left slightly ajar, and wondered if it was my cue to follow or not. I choose the former. “Juss Indigo, what do you want from me? Enough with the mixed signals, there’s so much I can take.” I muttered lowly. I strolled to the bathroom, standing a few inches

    Marco’s Pov After waking up in the shabby hotel I moved into after getting kicked out of Juss' house, my mood was nothing close to good. It was not a great sight to wake up to, especially for someone like me who was used to better. I still couldn’t believe that Juss actually sold the house, leaving me stranded. If it was an act of revenge, why was she doing it after so many months? Why didn’t she sell it immediately when she left? “Juss Indigo, I will never forgive you for what you did.” Now I had to make do with this place that wasn’t even fit for prisoners. I could hear the rats squeaking in the corner, waiting to munch on my leftover food. The cheap wallpaper on the wall was peeling off to reveal ugly brown stains that matched the ones on the ceiling. The window had cracks in them. The bathroom was not as neat as I was used to and the hot water wasn’t working. The list of complaints was endless. All I wanted was to go back to the way life was before; living in

    Hera’s Pov As I sat at the bar and waited for Marco, I made a resolve to buy his girlfriend something. I couldn't have done this without her. However she had managed to convince Marco to pair up with me, she deserved a reward for it. Imagine my level of surprise when Marco called to tell me he was coming to Manchester and asked which part I lived in. Marco was coming to Manchester! I sipped my whiskey and smiled to myself. Things were gradually working for me. I was finally able to tick the two most important tasks off my list. * I was able to get in contact with Marco. * I also successfully convinced him to work with me. Things were looking good. The second he walked into the bar, I knew it was him. Juss apparently didn't have such a bad taste in men. He was tall and dark haired with strong features but there was a mean streak in his chin that only people like me recognized. I raised my hand and waved. Marco gave a nod and started in my direction.

    Juss’s Pov I woke as usual to the sense of warmth and comfort. I was getting used to waking up with Eggust's arms wrapped securely around me. After that day Marlani called, Eggust assured me that he was willing to fight for me no matter what happened, and he doesn’t care what any thinks of us. I made a mental note to give him a chance, I had been alone for the most part of my life, and spent the other part dealing with unrequited love. I didn’t want to throw away something genuine Eggust was willing to offer on a platter of gold, because of fear and shame. Although, I felt guilty for leaving Marlani like that. She had been there for me, even when no one else was. During the call with Eggust, hearing her break down in tears pierced the deepest part of my heart. I felt helpless, I was the worst friend on earth, for repaying Marlani’s kindness with something she didn’t deserve. I hoped for the opportunity to make it up to her one day. Eggust assured me that she would u

Now stop being a baby and get up.”“But I’m a baby, or isn’t that what you call me.”I raised my hands in surrender triggering laughter for the both of us. “You win. So dear baby, get up, mummy wants to bathe you.”“Mummy should carry me to the bathroom.” He murmured.“Really?” I bent down to carry him immediately and fell back on his body and we got into another fit of laughter.He ended up carrying me to the bathroom.While we were bathing together everyone was washing their bodies so I had nothing in mind when I applied face wash with my eyes closed, but Eggust had other plans.He started massaging my soapy breast.

I opened my eyes with a smile when I felt little feet pushing again my rib.Yep, one of the kids had snuck into bed with us again. It had become a habit in the past one year but my mom assured me that they would soon outgrow it really.I certainly hope so because this sharing business was not funny at all.Ten minutes later, at exactly 7:00 a.m. the doorbell rang and I rushed downstairs to get the package from the delivery guy.I had ordered a breakfast package to serve her in bed because I knew I wouldn't get through with cooking before she woke up. These days the kids ruled the house and whenever they woke up, everybody else had to wake up too.Juss had been craving Chinese for a while now and so I decided to surprise her with it.

    Marlani's POVIt was such a monotonous routine. Everyday, I woke up with a pain in my back due to the uncomfortable couch in the hospital room. I did my morning oblations in the bathroom then came to sit by his bedside till about noon when the second maid would come with lunch, then I'd go home, change and come back.The doctors tried their best to assure me he would be fine, but when your loved one was in a coma, it was difficult to have good thoughts. Grandfather’s dream replayed on my mind over and over again. I almost found myself begging him to let Sylvester go. It wasn’t his time yet. I was on the verge of giving up. The only thing that had kept me sane was talking, and talking I did.I went on to tell him about everything!Things that were happening in the world and in my life, hoping he would wake up and ask any questions but he never did.There was nothing I did not do.I cried.I prayed.I got angry at him.I begged.I appealed to him but nothing seemed to work.He just d

    Marlani's POV"We need to leave now ma'am." My housekeeper said to me very early this morning.I couldn't understand how the day was so bright when I felt so gloomy.Today, we were holding a funeral for my father in law! His death still felt surreal, he was such a pillar and leader. Yes, he was gruff and grumpy and even mean occasionally, but generally, he had been a wonderful person.Nature had to show respect and join in the mourning!!!I smiled sadly to myself as I realized the impossible and crazy thoughts I was having."What has come over you Marlani?"I guessed it was panic. A really big one.Grandfather had been the only one who had kept the family together and now that he was gone, I didn't know what would happen to us.No one was capable of or willing to fill his shoes. Sylvester had changed, but I had doubts he could fill in grandfather’s shoes. Eggust was still mad at everyone for what we did to Juss, though he tolerated us because of her, he still held grudges.

    Juss’ Pov Today was the final court hearing for Hera’s case, I was already getting frustrated with the way the case was going. They had all the evidence, why did they still need to have multiple hearings, just to prove that Hera was really guilty?Her cohorts had already confessed to their crimes, it took a little push from Ezekiel to get them to all turn against Hera. They were released and asked to pay a fine because they were her accomplices. But her charges were more, as the mastermind.It was funny how a harmless looking person like Hera, was responsible for my dilemma. She didn’t even look like someone who would go as far as opening an anonymous account just to ruin my life. Yet, I felt pity for her. She was just a woman who fell in love with the wrong person. Her obsession with Eggust had driven her to do all of those things. I was this close to begging Eggust to drop the charges, but I held back when I realized I wasn’t the only one she put through trauma. Eggust suffered

    Juss’ PovAs I slowly opened my eyes, the haze of sleep began to clear, and I was met with the sound of faint chatter. My motherly instincts immediately kicked in, and I scanned the room for my babies. My mind relaxed as I spotted them safely in the arms of Eggust and Marlani. She had been a different person since I gave birth. Two days ago, she even offered me a heartfelt apology. Of course I forgave her, but that didn’t stop the awkwardness between us from lingering. I was grateful she cared about Oscar and Elaine though. It still felt like yesterday, even though it had been a whole week since I had my babies. I was to be discharged today and Sylvester had made arrangements for us to stay in grandfather’s house, as per his request.Grandfather was the first person to notice I had woken up. "Ah, Juss, you're awake," he said, drawing others attention to me. His voice was weak but filled with love.I tried to sit up, but my vision started to blur, a wave of dizziness washed over me,

    Marlani…I found myself in my car, a couple of hours after Sylvester left, driving towards Eggust’s house. I couldn’t bear the feeling of guilt that gnawed at me. His house was a few miles away from here, so it took me some time to get there. When I got to the front door, I heard some noises coming from the living room. I recognized the voices as Sylvester’s Juss’ and Eggust’s.Sylvester was here? what was he doing here?There was a bit of scuffle, Sylvester and Juss were not exactly in an argument, Eggust would definitely not allow it. But they went back and forth. Sylvester accused Juss of hating him and being the reason why I never gave him a chance to redeem himself. While Juss insisted she was only trying to protect me. She knew what he did to me, and didn’t want me to go through something like that again. Eggust only interrupted when Sylvester’s voice got louder. He repeated the same words “careful dad, I will not let you insult my fiancée in our house.”“Our house?”They wer

    Sylvester’s Pov I got into my car, turned on the engine and drove to god-knows-where. I had nowhere in particular I thought of going to, I just knew I wanted to be as far away as possible. Not because I was mad at Marlani for what she said, ‘cause truthfully I deserved it.Instead, I was mad at myself, for thinking I could offer an apology, show her how much I’ve changed and the effort I’m putting in to make sure our relationship is better, then she would accept me again, and helplessly fall in love with me. That didn’t only make me a jerk, but completely delusional as well. But did she have to do it immediately though? After our moment of wild sex. Couldn’t she have just waited until tomorrow or the day after then?My grip on the steering was firmer. A car tried to overtake me, but I was too focus on my anger to notice that. Due to his frustration, the driver honked at me, cursing as he was finally able to.I yelled back in frustration, flipping the driver my middle finger. My knuc

    Marlani After the meeting with Eggust’s grandfather, Sylvester drove me back to his penthouse. We hadn’t really talked about the day, which I was thankful for, it was a sour topic and the last thing I wanted was to be vulnerable around Sylvester. Things were much better now that we were living together, than they were in the last twelve years. Sylvester worked from home and barely left the house, unless he wanted to buy groceries, which was weird, because he never went to the grocery store himself. At first, I thought it was because of a lady, perhaps a new fling he was hooked on. But after his constant requests for me to join him, I realized he was doing it all to please me. Sylvester Flemming, doing everything in his power to be called a better husband? Who would have thought? Certainly not me. I just finished making breakfast and was setting the table, when I heard footsteps approaching, I turned around to see Sylvester sauntering down the stairs. He flashed me a warm smile as
