last update Last Updated: 2024-09-04 05:31:15

when I arrive at a spot far away from everyone, My Kness weakens and I crash down to the floor, landing on the stair case. I allow the tears that I’ve been holding back to rain down my cheeks without trying to stop them. I’ve been through so much pain before but none has ever amount to this. Where my husband betrays me and everyone turned a blind eye towards it.

I cry so much till feel my throat tearing apart.

I wish I had never took pity on Carlton. I wish I had never been there for him all the time marigold hurt him beyond counting. The truth is Mari-gold was his first love. They dated for years and in those times, Mary gold kept hurting Carlton by frolicking with different men, still Carlton kept giving her many chances. And I was just there for him in his lowest moments, cheering him up and fighting my building feelings for him.

He gave Mari-gold several chances but he had the last straw when he walked into Mary gold banging another man right in his office. And their wedding was just around the corner at the time. Carlton called off the wedding and he became a heavy drinker. I stuck by him trying to bring him back to his feet and one faithful night, we made a mistake I’ll forever live to regret. Our hormones got the best of us, No, I let my desire and passion for Carlton drive me. And we had a one night stand.

A one night stand which got me pregnant for Carlton and we had to get married. Of course his family couldn’t have a grand-child outside wedlock so They accepted me.

But My family made me feel like I committed a gruesome crime for stealing my sister’s husband just because they had some issues. Of course she is biological daughter. They had always prioritize her feelings over mine even when she was taking the penalty for her wrongs.

As for Carlton, I knew our marriage were never based on love but in time, Carlton made me felt loved. Especially when we had our first child. However, everything changed when we lost our baby. Carlton forgot about everything I’d done for him. It hasn’t even been a month since Mari-gold came back to the city and she’s already pregnant for him.

How low of Carlton to go back to his ex! How low of his family to had forgotten all that Mari-gold did to their son just because she’s going to give them an heir!

“Oh here you are…”sounds of heels suddenly Meet my ears jolting me out of my pile of thoughts. And following it, is a familiar voice. A voice I wish to never hear again in my life.

I stands up to meet Mari-gold staring scornfully down at me, about two steps above me.

“Look at you,” she scoffs. “Who’s the person that’s laughing last now?”

I blink hard, furiously wiping tears from my cheeks.

“What the hell do you want now, Mari-gold?” I sneers, my fury all over the place and I’ve no intention of controlling it.

“I told you before that Carlton is mine and I am going to come back to claim him. You see, he didn’t even think twice before getting rid of you because he realized how worthless you are compared to me. You are just a shameless harlot who’ve nothing to offer aside from stealing people’s men!”

Mari-gold just basically described her-self but I’m not going to waste my saliva bantering with her. So, I made to walk out on her but her next statement makes all hell break loose.

“You couldn’t even give him a child for good three years. after killing your first child…”

She doesn’t finish her statement fully before I lit her cheek with a resounding slap which makes her flush red instantly.

“Don’t you ever speak of my late son ever again.” I yell on her face as she squeezes her affected cheek, fuming in red. Not wasting anymore time, I furiously brush past her. However, she pulls my wrist back violently. I slips my wrist away from her immediately and due of the force, she trips on her heels and next everything happens so fast.

I freeze on a spot, my eyes bulging out as I watch Mari-gold rolls down the stairs.

“Arghhhhhh!!!” Her painful scream hollers around the house the moment she lands on the ground.

Blood spills out from her head staining the white tile floor, her hair spluttered all over her face and Slowly, her eyes shut close.

“What the hell did you do to her?” A masculine voice suddenly booms behind me, startling me from my frozened position.

I turn to meet a host of several horrified faces. My parents and my in-laws. And Carlton’s face has an intense blend of rage searing in his eyes and blazing through me.

She has beautiful cyan eyes that twinkled brightly as she stared at me with a gleeful smile. Her lips are plump and pink. Her short curly hair, raven black. In fact everything about her, immediately reminded me of a memory that had been hunting me through the past 5 years. “Thank you Mista!” Her tiny but loud voice made me jolts out of my daze. Hearing her voice and having her stare up at me, filled me with something I haven’t felt for a long time - Warmth and Pure bliss. And I don’t know why but felt this strong connection towards her.

The shoot drained us but the silence of the streets and the distant glow of a coffee shop make it bearable at least. Out of nowhere, Carlton stops walking. “Thanks,” he says when I turn to look at him. “For everything. Helping me the fix the mess at he company.” “Don't mention it.” A smile warms my cheeks. “I mean it.” His expression turns serious, his breath fogging in the cold air. “I don't know what I would've done without your intervention.”“You figured it out eventually, I guess.”“I highly doubt that.” A smirk tugs at his lips and we resume walking again. We push into the warmth of the café. The scent of roasted coffee beans drapes itself around me like a cloak and I exhale, savoring it. We find a booth by the window, and I blow into my hands to keep them warm. “You going to the kids’ bo

Ever since she returned, my husband has changed from the doting simp I married to this hard-hearted stranger. Even Andre has no fear for me anymore, ignoring me at most. I doubt he recognizes me as his mother anymore and it's all thanks to that woman who doesn't even know the father of her little bastards. Her constant presence in my life lingers like anad taste in my mouth. How do I spit her out? How do I get rid of her for good?Then almost immediately, an idea crept in like a small whisper in the back of my mind. It will do the job just perfectly. Morning comes and I'm woken by the sound of the usual routines of most mornings. Carlton moving around in the kitchen, the sizzling of food can be heard. I hear him head to Andre's room to get him ready for school and then feed him breakfast. When he comes back to our room, I close my eyes in pretence of being asleep.Jokes on

    Dahlia’s Pov, As soon as he's discharged, we begin the drive home. It is quiet in the car. Tristian turns his head and looks out the window, lost in his thoughts. I grip the wheel, my mind replaying everything he told me: his parents leaving, his loneliness, the wash he built himself up from nothing. I never asked. I never cared to know him beyond what he was to me. Guilt creeps in unbidden . I take a deep breath and pull over in front of a mart. When I kill the ignition, he seems to come back to the present. He blinks, turning to me. “What are we doing?” I push open the door with an eyeroll. “Getting ice cream.”He scoffs. “You're kidding.” I don't even crack a smile as I step out. “Come or stay in the car.”A pause. Then, he sighs and follows, mumbling something I can't head under his breath. While inside, I grab a cart and head straight for the freezer section. Tristian watches me, eyebrow cocked. He's clearly unimpressed.“Ice cream, Dahlia? That's what this whole fuss is

    I shoot up from my chair to break his fall. “Hey! Look at me!” My hands grip his shoulders to shake him but his eyes are unfocused. The severity of the situation dawns on me; he's not faking this.I don't think. I just move. I drag him up, practically carrying his weight as I rush out of the bar. Opening my door is stressful but I manage barely. Thankfully, a guy jumps to his feet and pushes it open. I get him into the car, my hands shaking as I start the engine.“Stay with me,” I snap, stepping harder on the gas. “Just breathe.” I don't even remember parking. The next thing I know, I'm yelling for help, nurses rushing toward us to wheel him away. Minutes stretches into hours and soon, the doctor and I walk out of his office where he's giving me advise on his to manage Tristian's health. As we approach Tristian's ward, a nurse steps out. “He's stable,” he tells us with a clipboard in his hand. My legs nearly give out with my heart slamming against my ribs. I exhale sharply, forc

Still, nothing prepares me for what happens next.Spencer. I feel my stomach plummet down several heights as he's brought forward. The moment our eyes meet, something cold slithers down my spine. I knew it. My gut has screamed his name all along, his involvement being a suspicion I didn't let take root in my heart.But here we are now to attend his trial.Marigold is at the podium too with her face as pale as death.

    NEXT CHAPTERCARLTON POVThe news about Marigold getting out should be a relief for me and Andre but it doesn't feel like one. I grip the steering wheel hard enough to break it in half as the car goes down a small slope.I'm irritated. No, that's an understatement. I'm agitated, anxious, hell I'm disgusted. It's probably wrong to be feeling this way at the news of your wife's arrival from jail. I can't help it. Not if it involves the happiness of my son because the truth is, he's been happy. Genuinely happy these past few weeks.With Dahlia in our lives, everything feels so easy and natural. There's no second-guessing, no manipulation or the weight of anything suffocating me. Andre has been living his best days, blending into Dahlia’s world like he belonged in it.

    “I'm just saying—”“Well, don't. I don't need you slandering him.”He exhales deeply and I watch his knuckles whiten against the steering wheel. “You're defending him like he's some kind of saint. Dahlia, I'm just trying to look out for you.”“He might be no saint but at least he didn't kick me out to the curbs when he knew I had no one else to lean on.”His breath hitches in his throat like I've stuck a nerve. Good. I don't relent as irritation climbs to the surface. “Tristian is a better man than anyone would ever be.” And by anyone, I mean Carlton. “He didn't just show up when things were easy. He was there when my life was falling apart, when I was at rock bottom. Do you know what that's like? To have nothing? Not even a relative you can trust?”Of course he stays quiet. “He's the reason my kids and I are alive today. He came through for me when everyone's else turned their backs. So, no, I don't need you questioning him.”He flinches at my words as a shadow of guilt crosses his

His face closes off like a blank canvas, blocking any emotion from seeping to the surface. “What's wrong?” I ask. Sunny steps into the kitchen, wiping her hands on a dish towel with a raised eyebrow. “Yeah, you look like you've seen a ghost that just walked through this room.”He bends to pick up his phone and slipping it into his pocket, refutes dodges the questions. “It's nothing. Just a minor issue at the company. I need to head out and deal with it.”I narrow my eyes in suspicion. He doesn't meet my gaze even as he speaks. “Minor? Are you sure about that? Because you don't look like it's minor.”“I said it's fine!” His outburst is sharp and it startles us, including Carlton. He moves towards the door. “I'll be back later.” He calls over his shoulder and then he's gone. Sunny clicks her tongue, tossing the towe onto the counter. “There's something wrong with him.
