***Linda Wells’ POV***

It is the next day, to be exact, my wedding day. I am sitting on a chair in front of a vanity mirror. My reflection looks just how I feel, and that is emotionally drained.

The ceremony is being held at the same church it was the first time Mitch and I tried to get married. Mitch invited so many people and my heart breaks each time I am reminded that I wearing a wedding dress. My parents got it for me last minute.

My hair was impressively done by a hairdresser who once did Beyonce’s hair for a music video. My lips are stained by light red lipstick and my cheeks have some blush to give them color.

I have half an hour to get to the church, yet I have been in this room staring at my reflection for twenty minutes.

I have no choice but to be there, that I know. If I don’t show up, Mitch would pull the trigger; he would turn my dad in and he could lose all that he has worked for his entire life.

My sister and her husband are the ones that would be driving me to the ch

    “What are you doing?” Mitch asks me.“Let go of me,” I say in response as I continue to try to pull my hands away from his grip.The priest is watching us in awe and shock while all the guests that Mitch invited are standing to their feet for a better view of what is happening. There are people who are even recording, and others are talking in low voices to each other.“I need to you leave, young man,” My dad warns Chris when he has reached us. Chris places his hands in his pockets and wags his head slowly as to say no.“F*cking let go of me!” I say loudly as I yank my hands out of Mitch’s grip. “Can we please take this outside? I don’t think the church is the right place for all of this,” The priest suggests but no one listens to him.“I’m so sorry, dad, but I can’t do this,” I apologize to my dad, and he sighs loudly while nodding slowly. He may go to prison and lose his company but he would never be able to forgive himself if I get married to Mitch, and neither would I.“Linda…” M

    “You need to let me go,” I say to Mitch, and a somber look crosses his face.“But…but I apologized,” He stutters.“And I just told you, I was never going to report your father,” He adds, and I wag my head slowly.“Actions have consequences, Mitch; and as much as I want everything to go back to normal, we are way past that point,” I explain to him.“You made your bed, now you have to lie in it,” I add, and then I walk past him.“Tell me that you don’t love me anymore and I swear I am going to back off. I would let you live your life and you would never hear from me again,” Mitch says as he stops me by grabbing my wrist gently.If that is what it takes for him to leave me and my family alone, then I guess that settles it.“I love you, Mitch. I have always, but I don’t see myself being with you again; you ruined that,” I say to him truthfully, and he lets go of my wrist.“I still would like us to be friends though,” I add, and he scoffs lowly.“It’s okay,” He replies in a breathy way, an

    “Blood and tears are the same. Both are the body’s way of crying for help.” -Jeremy Jenkins……I don’t know how to stop the tears, they just keep flowing and flowing. My head is laid against the steering wheel as I weep. Small whimpers escape my lips and my chest feels tight.I have had so much rage and anger in my heart since I found out about Violet, my wife. I don’t know how to deal with it. I have not talked to anyone about her since she visited me that night.It has been a while since I have seen my best friend, Eric, and Linda was here with her family. I was alone.Now that I am finally talking about her, it feels like torture, but also like a heavy burden is being lifted off my shoulders. My heart still bleeds, but just a little less now.“I am so sorry, Chris,” I hear Linda’s soft voice as she touches my hair gently. Her touch feels comforting.“No, I’m sorry,” I say as I raise my head from the steering wheel. I look at her through a blurred vision caused by tears in my eyes.

    She can’t be serious, can she? “What are you talking about?” I ask Violet, and then I let out a small laugh. There is no way that she could take over my company. I would rather be buried alive first before I let that happen.“I would suggest that you get on a plane so you can fly back to China because I am not discussing this on a phone call,” She replies, her voice calm and tinted with formality.“Are you being serious? Was f*cking up my life not enough for you?!” My voice is strong but also filled with emotions.“Chris, I’m sorry that I hurt you, but as I said, this is not a conversation to have over the phone,” She tells me, and then hangs up.I remove the phone from my ear and I look at the blank screen. I have so many questions going through my mind, but one thing I am sure of, and that is that I have to get back to China as soon as possible.“Was that your wife?” Linda asks carefully.“Yep,” I reply to her while popping the p.I place my phone back into my pocket and I start t

    ***Linda Wells’ POV***What in the world is going on here? “Sue?” I ask in disbelief. How the hell did she get in here, and why was she in the shower area? I have so many questions.“What? You know her?” Chris asks me, and I run my hand through my hair in frustration as I nod. He seems very shaken, and I don’t blame him. I would be shaken too if I found someone hiding in my bathroom.“Come on, Chris, you should be able to remember her. She works for that shady association, ‘The Witnesses’,” I try to jog Chris’ memory but all he is focused on is the gun tugged at Sue’s waist.She works closely with Victoria Hare, who happens to be a grandmaster for that association. “She was the one who brought me out after I was kidnapped,” I add, and he nods slowly.“Yeah, yeah, I remember her now,” He says as he eyes her strongly.“Are you two done?” Sue asks, causing Chris and I to share a look.I have no idea why she was hiding in the bathroom or why she has a gun tugged at her waist, but I do k

    Sue exits the suite and leaves the door open. But that is not the only thing she leaves, she has left Chris and me even more confused than we were when we first saw her in the bathroom.She just told us that Chris’ wife who was cheating on him from the beginning of their marriage is trying to take over his company in China. As if she has not done enough damage to this man.“Wait, you don’t just say something like that and walk away,” Chris says loudly as he follows her. I follow him and we both exit the suite and chase after Sue. She on the other hand is heading towards the elevated at a steady pace.“You heard me, Chris, plus you did not have to chase me,” She replies to him when we have caught up with her.“I am just going to the lobby to get something, I have a room next to yours,” She adds when she reaches the elevator. The automated doors are closed and she presses the down bottom and folds her arms on her chest as she waits.“Violet used me, she had no regard for my feelings, a

    “Did you say something?” Chris asks me, and I look at him while wagging my head slowly. He is now sitting on the bed and has hung up the landline. His hair is slightly wet and makes him look silly. I press the small power button on the side of the phone and I turn it off. Reading that message was something that I didn’t know I needed. It makes me sad, but it also helps me realize how ignorant I was. Now that all the secrets have been brought to light, I feel sore in my heart. But I am also really grateful. Mitch was a huge part of my life and I just can’t just magically forget about him, even if I tried; but I can learn from my mistakes. I place the phone under the bed, I don’t want to see even a glance of it tonight. It would just remind me of the heartfelt message that Mitch left me, which would cause me to lay in bed thinking of him all night, not being able to sleep. What am I really doing with Chris Kingston? Do I want a relationship with him? He is almost as hurt as I am

    “Good, you’re already dressed,” Sue’s voice gets louder as she walks toward the living room.Chris closes the door and follows her until they both approach me. Sue is wearing a different outfit, this one is more casual than the last one she was wearing last night.A frown sits on her lips as she eyes me from head to toe.“Linda, Linda, Linda,” She says in a frustrating tone.I stand upright and I wait to hear what she has to say. “Chris is in a war and should be in China before the end of the day. If you are going to be coming along, at least you should have had the courtesy to be showered and dressed already,” She scolds me.“It was my fault, I turned off the alarm because I wanted her to get more sleep, she has been through a lot,” Chris defends me. I don’t even remember there being an alarm clock in any of the bedrooms, he is just trying to take the blame.“Yeah, you got a point. Sorry, Linda,” Sue apologizes easily as she pushes to the side the bags and boxes of things Chris ord

Alone in there so it was quiet, except for the sounds of the birds chirping and some normal day to day noises.Chris had gone to work at one of his companies and since we got married, although everything has not been perfect, he has been one heck of a husband.I love him so much and although sometimes my stupid mind still tortures me of what it could have been like if I had never caught my brother with my ex, I would never want to be with anybody else.How would it have been? Maybe beautiful…but also, maybe awfully like hell.I began to hum a tone when I reached down the stairs. I’m someone who likes to be alone but recently I have been home alone during the day most of the time.I don’t work anymore because Chris makes a whole lot of money and I graduated from university last month.I should be working, my parents wanted it to be like that, but oh Chris, he said that that was never going to happ

    I inhale sharply at the mention of the name of the man that my wife had an affair with. This man happens to be the same man that she had a baby for and tricked me into believing that the child was mine. This man is the goddamn same person that started this takeover battle so he and Violet could kick me out of my own company that I worked endlessly to build. Why the hell is he here to see me? “Is he alone?” I ask Zara, and she studies my facial expression for a few seconds before answering slowly,” Yeah.” “Good,” I say in a breathy way as I walk away from her desk and head towards the conference room. I receive a few more congratulations from some of the associates that I walk by before I reach the glass door of the conference room. I push the door open and I walk confidently into the room. Zackery is sitting in one of the chairs at the large table and he stares at me as I approach him. “How are you, Mr. Kingston?” He says as he stands to his feet to greet me. He extends his

    ***Chris Kingston’s POV***It is the next day and I am getting ready to go to the company for the first time since the takeover battle. My best friend, Eric is supposed to meet me there in an hour. Yesterday was very eventful, and I can still remember vividly how pissed Sue was. Despite her attitude, I still took Linda to see the small garden of flowers behind the house.It is one of the things in this compound that I am very proud of. The flowers there are lovely and of many kinds. The garden is well taken off by Sergio, I assigned him personally to it years ago.Linda was impressed by the beauty of the garden. She kept stopping every minute to get a whiff of how the flowers’ scent.“Good morning,” I greet Linda as I approach her. She is sitting on the couch watching the Channel 6 News as she sips on some hot tea. Her hair is held in a messy bun, and she is wearing a blue bedroom robe.“Oh,” She says when she sees that I am already dressed formally. I am wearing a gray suit, with a

    Zackery’s eyes go crazy when he sees me running towards him with the shard of glass in my hand. He jumps out of the way and he cusses loudly as he falls to the ground with force.I stop myself when I reach the desk as my chest heaves up and down in a fast motion.“What the hell?!” He asks loudly, and I take his place by standing in front of his desk. “I am walking out of here with those papers,” I inform him firmly as I keep my eyes on him. I use the shard as a way to keep him a distance from me.He stands to his feet, and then he runs his hand through his hair.“F*ck!” He yells in frustration, and I tighten my grip on the shard of glass. As I do this, the sharp edges tear more at my skin but I ignore it. With the amount of adrenaline running through me right now, I barely feel the pain.“Just let me walk out of here with the papers,” I beg him, and he thins his lips.“Violet, if you want the papers so bad, I don’t care, you can have them,” Zackery says to me as he walks toward the f

    ***Violet Kingston’s POV***Zackery soon returns with two wine glasses and a bottle of the expensive liquor in his other hand. He has a grand smile on his face and his eyes are full of excitement.“Did he put up a fight?” He asks me as he places the wine glasses on his desk. He then opens the bottle of liquor and pours some of its content into both of the glasses.“Who are you talking about?” I inquire, though I have a feeling that he is referring to Chris.“Who else would I be talking about? Chris of course!” Zackery exclaims and I force a small laugh.He hands me one of the wine glasses and I take it from him gently. He then takes his own and places his other hand in his pocket.“Yeah, I guess he did,” I reply to him in a dull tone. He raises his glass up for a toast and I instinctively do the same. Our glasses make a distinct sound when they hit each other and Zackery cheers happily.“Hey, wait,” He says after he has sipped some of the liquor.“Why the attitude?” He asks, and then

    Violet bends low and opens the folder. She then takes out a neat stack of documents from the orange folder and places them on the coffee table. I sit on the couch and I begin to review the legal documents. They are legit divorce papers, and all that is missing is my signature.“You could take a few days to think about this if you would like,” Linda suggests and I look at her. She gives me a reassuring smile, silently letting me know that she would be here for me no matter what choice I make.“I’m good,” I reply to her, and she sighs while whispering, “Okay then.”I look back at the papers, and I feel a churning in the pit of my stomach. This could be one of the biggest mistakes of my life, or this could turn out good. I don’t know for sure, but I won’t till I try.“Here,” Violet hands me a pen and I take it from her tentatively.Sue is going to be pissed as hell when she finds out about what I am about to do. I sign the documents, and when I am done, I hand them to Violet. She place

    ***Chris Kingston’s POV***As I head from the kitchen and back into the living room, I hear the front door close. I am also hearing a voice that does not belong to Linda. “Who was at the door?” I ask loudly when I enter the living room. My eyes land on the guest and I am flabbergasted.It’s Violet. “What the hell are you doing here?” I ask her harshly. My voice is slightly raised and by the surprised and very uncomfortable look on Linda’s face, I can tell that she has no idea how to act or what to do.“Chris, I think you should lower your voice,” Linda advises me, and Violet agrees in a daring tone.“Yeah, she’s right, I think you should,” She says as she sits down on the couch.“You have no right to be here,” I say in between my teeth as I try my very best to control my temper.“Oh, I have no right to be here, but you have the right to replace me when we have not even divorced,” She argues, and her tone is tinted with jealousy.She’s jealous of Linda? “I am not your replacement,”

    “So you don’t trust me?” Chris asks Sue, and I try to intervene.“Of course, she does,” I reply at the same time that Sue disagrees by saying “No,” firmly.“The f*ck?” Chris scoffs.“Look, Mr. Kingston, I am just being honest. I trust you in other matters, but not when it comes to the divorce papers that your wife might have probably already mailed you,” She replies to him smoothly.She then leads us to a very magnificent jet plane. The stairs are already out, giving us a way to board the impressive aircraft.Once we have all boarded and fastened our seatbelts, the jet moves out of the hanger and down the runway before finally taking off. “Your wife would try all she can to get you to sign those papers, she would taunt you, and push you to the edge. So having Linda with you to remind you of the reasons you can’t sign them seems smart to me,” Sue explains to Chris when we are at cruising altitude.“Besides you representing your shady association in this matter, what do you gain person
