Unknown POV

I had managed to sneak into their home. As I watched her, something seemed different about her and it felt as though she was oddly shaken by something.

Surprisingly, the guards were now back to following her around everywhere. She was on constant guard, but I thought nothing of that. Her face always remained the same – a mixture of sadness, fear, hatred, and anger all at once – and she never showed any emotion whatsoever. That suited my purpose just fine.

I thought it was pathetic, it was going to need more than guards to stop me from getting what I wanted, but that didn't mean it wouldn't work. There were other things, things that I could do with my new knowledge about her, things that would make this plan of mine work out perfectly well. It wouldn't be easy, I'm sure, but everything would eventually fall into place in my favour.

Even if it meant taking everything else away from her. The guards weren't going to protect her forever. She wasn't even safe.

    Darcy“All you have to do is deny that it's not me” Rhys stated as if it were the simplest thing to do and what was even more shocking was that I couldn't believe my ears.I stared at him as if he had grown another head. “Are… Are you crazy? That would be so hypocritical and I don't know what else it could be because your name isn't exactly in the dictionary of synonyms. Besides, you were bold enough to do it, why don't you just boldly take the blame for it?”I wasn't about to put myself on a plate as a scapegoat for it. I wasn't going to lie on his behalf.I was hurt and broken by my reality, this reality.I was in love with Rhys Madigan and he had cheated on me, again.This time however it hadn't been because I had caught him in the act or because Blair thought it was nice to just drop the news on me, this time it was on a gossip magazine.“Hot playboy back to his old ways?” and below this dump caption was a picture of a ginger-haired girl and Rhys, even though their faces were not s

    RhysShe looked like she couldn’t believe me, different emotions ran through her face at once and it was hard to keep track of all of them.“All you have to do is deny that it's not me,” I explained to her, sounding as casual as possible as if it were the simplest thing to do. How was I supposed to know that somehow someone had taken pictures of me and the ginger-haired and sent them to the media as juicy gossip?It was suddenly everywhere, people called, my reputation was at stake and the possibility of losing the clients I had won over to my side was high.How could I be so careless? But it could be fixed, no one could tell that it was me, it was taken from the back, and those who knew me very well were free to be skeptical but I was going to prove that it could be anyone.The 5’2 woman in front of me kept staring at me as if I had grown another head. “Are… Are you crazy?!

    Rhys “I can't go with you, I am unwell” She didn't look unwell to me, she didn't just want to be around me and that stung more than it should have because of my stupidity and pride and lack of self-control.Maybe I could decide not to take the bait and leave her there. I'm sure she was still upset about what I said to her, anyone would be but I didn't leave.“You don't look unwell to me” The words slipped from my lips before I realized what it meant but I'd already said them so there was no going back now. She looked down at her feet, twisting a strand of hair around a finger nervously or maybe it was out of anger but all I could tell was that her hands shook.“I am not in the right mental state to party especially with some snobby rich ass people who don't give two fucks about my existence and who can get away with anything. I am not them.” She looked at me as if challenging me to say something.But her words held the message that was directed to me and I got them, loud and clear.

    DarcyFrom my window, I watched Rhys drive out a few minutes later after whatever squabble we had.He didn’t dress fancy so I couldn’t tell if he was going to the party or not, or maybe he was going to meet one of his numerous women.Jealousy crept up into my heart and I hated it for being there. It wasn’t his fault that he could do what he wanted with whoever he wanted at any time, without bothering me, but that doesn’t mean I can’t be jealous whenever the man who I love is spending time with someone else.Love?I needed to get rid of that feeling. It was unwanted and I didn't want it. He didn't want it either.We were just... together. That's all it was ever going to be. A simple arrangement. It should have been easy for me to understand that. I had also forgotten the main reason I was here, it was to get my son.“Claire, did Cory ever visit with her son?” I asked casually as if I didn't know the answer to that. The only time Cory came here with that child was to spite me and Clair

    Darcy“I don’t want you to come with me” I said to the men who by now look flustered.“But sir said…” One began but I cut him off rudely.“I don’t care what sir said. I don’t want you guys hovering over me like a bunch of motherfuckers. I’m an adult, I can make my own choices and decisions without your damn supervision.” I finished, not waiting for their response.They were silent as if they didn’t know what to say. They’re probably too stunned about me saying all that to react any other way.I took their silence that they had gotten what I said. I walked past them as I made my exit. I ignored all the looks of pity. They knew better than anyone else how hard this was.When I was finally away from the house and away from the guards Rhys had gotten me, I breathed out relief but was fast to call a cab in case they decide to change their mind.It was only when I was in the car that I felt safe. After speaking with Claire, a silly idea had come to my mind and today I was going to where it

    DarcyMy body shook with fear. My stomach turned and twisted in my gut, causing a nauseous feeling to twist around and turn inside my body. The sweat on my brow made me feel like I was suffocating as my head was swarmed by thoughts of what could possibly happen next. My heart skipped beats when I walked out of there.So many questions raced through my brain that it almost overwhelmed me.What am I doing here again? What happened today? How did I end up here? How did Blair come up with the idea to come here, how did she find out about this place?Was she going to tell Rhys?And thinking of Rhys, it didn't make sense that it had been him all along. The reason why I was alive, the supposed stranger who saved and paid for my surgery and who for once had not returned to the hospital to ask about the girl he had once brought it.Why did he do it? Why did he save me? I knew how much he hated me, the old Darcy, the girl that no longer existed.It all seemed like a lot to handle at once, and

    DarcyI felt horrible. I couldn't believe that I could do that to someone. That I could hurt him, throw their insecurities in their face. As someone who has had her own fair share of that, I should have known better than to mention that he was cutting himself in a useless argument. No matter what happened, I loved him. More than anything else, I loved him. I had never meant to. I hadn't meant to hurt him that bad, I didn't want to hurt anyone. I was still in shock when Claire came by and pulled me by the hand.“Careful so you don't step on the shards of glass” She warned. “Come on let's get you cleaned up before anything else”.She led me to the bathroom where she gently washed off the rest of the blood that had found its way to my side. “Clean up, I’ll bring your food and then you can get some rest.”“I am not hungry” My voice was shallow and hoarse. I wasn't sure I even recognized it.Claire placed the towel on the sink counter and turned on the faucet. The water was running hot

    Rhys“You like her don't you?” My friend’s voice broke through my train of thoughts and for a while, I wanted to pretend that I didn't know who he was talking about. I pretended I didn't know.“What are you going on about Liam? This is not why I came to you” My voice was nonchalant. I didn't want to indulge in any of his nonsense. I told him what Tessa had said about me. I left out the part where she said I was cutting myself. He didn't need to know that.“You know what I am talking about - who I am talking about” He said deadpanned.“Don’t you have better things to do than to stand there and ask me if I like Tessa or not?”He gave me a look that said “I told you so” It was only then I realized how much I had messed up.“I didn't even mention her name and you already know who I am talking about. What a coincidence” he hummed.“You are insane but we were talking about her” My comeback was weak and I knew Liam wouldn't let me go easily.“Am I? We were? That was over an hour ago and I d

    Darcy“Did you find anyone?” It was Vincent’s voice and I remained put.“Not yet”Cory replied.“Let’s leave before that nurse or someone else returns”, he said and she did as told without a word passing between them. I remained hidden for what seemed like forever. My feet itched to walk in the open and my hands itched to run over the surface of the door. However, I did not have the courage to do so. I would rather be safe than sorry. When I finally stepped out of my supposed sanctuary of safety and into the open air I nearly collapsed from exhaustion. I made it back to Rhys who looked at me strangely.“Where have you been? And why do you look like you have seen a ghost?” He asked, and there was an undertone of concern.I couldn't tell him, not now.“Whatever happened between you and the gorgeous blonde?” I blurted out trying to change the subject. What was I thinking? This wasn't the right time but Rhy’s eyebrows rose at that question and I felt a wave of relief rush over me. I ha

    Darcy We stayed far away from them and they did the same. I and Rhys against Vincent and Cora.You could be wondering why but it was as if each party was greatly repulsed by the other. The only thing they both wanted was to get on with their lives. And even so there was an invisible barrier that separated us from each other. That barrier would eventually break one way or another. Vincent and Rhys were always on opposing sides of a battle. The woman whom I later found out as Mrs Stark came over to the hallway of the hospital and she looked tired.She had eye bags so dark that they matched her hair color. She didn’t look too good at all. There were dark circles under her eyes and you could see wrinkles forming around her mouth. But then, she didn’t seem like the kind of person who would show signs of weariness. She was very elegant despite having such a tired face.She smiled kindly at Rhys and I, and she also did the same to Cory and Vincent.“Any update on who could have done that

    Vincent I saw Darcy, she looked more beautiful than I could remember. Her golden skins shone under the moonlight like they were made of crystal. Her golden blonde curls framed her face. A smile was on her soft pink lips as she stood there waiting for whoever.I couldn't believe my eyes, it felt surreal that she had just been there all this while I searched for her everywhere, looking for her everywhere but nowhere in particular. She was just standing there when she had been there for years before, a few months after I lost hope to ever find her. It was almost like déjà vu again, but this time it wasn't so bad. “Darcy?” I called out, I needed to be sure that it was really her, “Darcy?!” This time it came out louder as if it would somehow give me permission to run and hold her in my arms forever.She turned around and smiled at me. I ran to her, I couldn't stop myself now even if I tried, my body just seemed to move on its own. As we embraced, I noticed how warm she felt against me. I

    Vincent“Kill him,” I said into my phone.That bastard had refused to tell us where the will was , or who the next heir was. We didn’t have a clue whether there was any will at all. At least that was what my men said.I didn't see any need for him to be alive , either. It wasn’t like we were going to miss him in the end anyway, right? He was a foolish man. He could have easily decided to take the money I offered him instead of holding on to his integrity , but no. He just had to go and get himself killed. What kind of idiot does that? “Take care of it now,” I told my lead man “we don’t have time for this shit.” And I hung up before moving to Cory’s room.When Cory opened the door and saw me holding flowers, she gave me a skeptical look that was almost as good as one of the many ones I had given her in the past and given myself on my way over here. Almost.“Why are you standing outside my door and why do you have the bouquet of daisies with you?” Cory asked suspiciously. After I messed

    Rhys“Rhys, Rhys please listen to me. I just want to talk to you”“Damn it! What are you doing here? This has to stop. This place is not for you, you are not welcome here” I told her trying to understand how she managed to sneak into this place. It was becoming a repetition of the same thing and I didn't find it funny.“I knew I would find you here…” she started but as soon as she saw my expression she knew she had made a mistake, “No, I didn't mean that, not like that...this was our... and Rhys...”“Stop! Just stop” I pleaded not wanting to hear her words, knowing there was no changing her mind. She needed to leave now or else I wouldn't hesitate to take her out of here. Not again. Never again. I would never be part of some crazy plan she decided to make me, never again. She was always up to some sort of bullshit. “Just go. Go back to wherever you came from and leave me alone” my voice was filled with hatred, anger and a little sadness mixed in it.There was an awkward silence betwe

    DarcyRhys and I finally left after I gave him a blowjob. I wouldn't lie, I had grown addicted and it was scaring me. I know I needed to stop yet I didn't know how to. I was lost in my desires. Caught between passion and reality.“Are you okay?” I cringed at how my voice sounded, it was laced with concern and I didn't know if I meant it or not. As I stood in that park with Rhys, it was like looking at an open book that was not open. He had so much going on. He held a sort of rawness that made me want to hold him and never let him go.Right now, I could see that something was off with him. It was obvious in his energy and I didn't know what to make about it. It felt like the first time he had locked himself up over again only that this time he was standing in front of me. It had to be grief. I knew it to do things that it is not supposed to do to you. To rob you of your sanity and your sleep. To remind you that you've failed.“Yeah, why?” I couldn't help but notice that his voice see

    Rhys I went back to her room that evening and it took a miracle for me to keep my eyes from roaming around the flimsy excuse of a nightgown she had on.“Uhm, do you want to go out?” I cleared my throat, trying to not let any of my thoughts slip out too much and make her think I lacked self-control.“Go where?” she asked, staring off at nothing in particular, absentmindedly.“The... Anywhere” She looked like some kind of enchantress and I lacked words to describe her. I felt something deep within myself stir at the thought of just how beautiful she was. Even her skin seemed softer than most people in the world; her lips were full and slightly puffy, and her nose scrunched up when she spoke.She stood up and moved close to me, her smell filled my nose and I wanted nothing than to rip that dress off right then and there and fuck her until she cried out my name. Her smile was so radiant, even though I knew she was hiding something behind it, I couldn't help but return the one I gave he

    RhysI hated the hospital, it was a reminder of what I had lost, a reminder of what this place had taken from me . I hated the white walls that made up so many rooms, and the smell of bleach that would hang in the air, and I hated the sadness the atmosphere instilled in everyone who stayed there. It was like a funeral or memorial for all those who died in it, it was cold and empty and lonely. It was an institution designed to give people hope. Hope for things they could never truly achieve. Hopefulness. Optimism. A belief that things might get better and most times it never really did but I still found comfort in its false optimism. The fake optimism. Because at least in the fake hope, no one ever gave you up. As I parked in the parking lot of the hospital, I made my way inside, calling Mrs Stark.Immediately she saw, she broke into tears and held her in my arms as she clutched onto me weeping into my shoulder.After a while, she pulled away, clearing her throat as she wiped

Work was the last place I wanted to be but something had happened and my attention was needed.While at the office, I was so deep in thought that I didn't notice her walk in. “Something is bothering you, would you like to talk about it now?” Her annoying voice echoed through my office and I rolled over in my chair so she wouldn't see me glaring at my computer screen. Who let her in?“Hey, it's your turn now anyway!” She said while poking my arm with her pen, making me glare harder even though it was pointless since she couldn't see me. “You're being weird. Aren't you happy to see me? Is something wrong?”“What do you want?” I snapped and turned off the monitor just to avoid her prying.She sighed dramatically. “Fine. If you don't tell me what's going on…then suit yourself”“You may leave now,” I told her yet I didn't hear the sounds of her walking away or anything. She must still be there,
