Writer's pov“What was that in there Amelia? We know very well that everyone is still bothered about Shirley Disappearance and here you are speaking like you do not know what is going on. Do you want them to think you haven't changed at all?” Amelia was not pleased at all to hear what her mother said. It felt like her mom was on Shirley's side as well and even being concerned about her?“Why should I be bothered if she isn't here? We haven't been friends in a long while so why should I pretend like I care when in reality I do not care about where she is or if she's ever going to return.” Sharon was obviously shocked to hear everything that Amelia was saying because she thought Amelia had already changed and all of them were excited about her new personality, only to find out that she's not different from she used to be.“Amelia stop saying that, I know that both of you stopped being friends a long time ago but do you realize that she is your blood cousin. You too are related now ther
Writer's povEveryone opened their eyes wider than normal when they heard what Amelia said about the kidnap case. She sounded like it wasn't something serious even though she knew everyone was worried about Shiley's whereabouts and if she's okay.“What makes you think you have the right to come into my house and openly say that you know where my wife is? You have some nerves Amelia!” Jackson yelled at the top of his voice as he was going closer to Amelia.Amelia could feel Jackson's anger because of the way he was fuming.“Are you being serious about what you just said right now or you're just trying to provoke everyone present here?” Yvonne asked her because she knows how mischievous Amelia can be and it is very possible that she doesn't know where Shirley is but she just wants all of them to be on their toes.“Well you heard me correctly I kidnapped her. Isn't that what you guys want to hear?” Amelia said to them and walked away angrily, but Jackson could not watch her walk away wit
Shirley povI opened my eyes and found out my hands were tied and everywhere seemed dark. I finally realized that my face had been covered with something. “Anyone there?” I tried asking several times but no one was responding to my questions. This made me realize that I have actually been kidnapped.The last thing I remember was when a car double crossed mine and here I am in a place that I don't even know. No one could hear me because I wasn’t audible enough.“What is going on?” I kept asking myself, while I was still struggling to understand what was going on, I heard footsteps walking closer to where I was hoping that the person would help me. I tried talking but even though I knew I wouldn't be heard I decided not to give up. The person removed the cover on my face and I raised my head to look at who it was but his face was properly closed with a mask so I couldn't identify who it was. I thought someone that would help me had come but I realized it's not someone that will help me

Writer's povShirley was very sure that Amelia had nothing to do with her kidnapping, she knew how mischevious Amelia can be but she was very positive that Amelia will not push to the extent of trying to do anything stupid. She thought that if Amelia was to do something like that she wouldn't have waited till now to do what she wants to do. The only person that came into their lives very recently and had been troubling them is Matilda which is why Shirley is very sure that Matilda is the one responsible for her kidnap. Even though Shirley was very sure of who it was she still didn't want to tell anyone yet, she wanted to keep it to herself until she finds a very concrete evidence that would send the person to jail. She thought she has been too nice on her enemies and now is the perfect time to show them but she isn't as weak as they all think she is.“I will find out who it is.” She was trying to distract herself with the possibility that she knows who it is but the image of the do
Shirley's POV“Water,” I croaked as I opened my eyes from the annoying beeping sounds coming from the machines around me. I knew I was in a hospital. Why? I didn't know but I hoped someone would tell me soon. My whole body hurt like hell and my throat was dry. “Water,” I grunted and coughed in a bid to clear my throat but it didn't work. It felt like something was stuck there and wasn't coming out. The door opened and I leaned up to see my mother, Sharon walking in. “Finally you’re up.” She walked towards me with a straight face, no smile, she looked so cold that I almost didn’t identify her. “Mom?”“I need water Mum,” I groaned and she looked away pretending not to hear what I said to her. “Mummy.” I called her again, but she still didn’t answer me. “Are you upset? Did I do anything wrong? Why are you not talking to me?” I asked her, still sounding very weak. Sharon didn’t say anything to me, she sat beside my bed looking at me like she was seeing a ghost. This is very unlike S
Shirley's POV“You're just a spare tire,” Amelia said. Her usually cool voice was now bitter as her eyes flashed with hatred. “What are you talking about?” I choked, refusing to believe it. She turned to my mother and smirked. “Mum, you want to do the honours?” “Sorry darling, I already told her but she’s just too slow to understand what I was talking about. I became confused all over again, “what are they talking about? What did she try telling me that I didn’t get?My eyes widened and I coughed when I finally realized what they were talking about. “What are you saying? Oh my goodness, where's the camera, fine y'all got me, please round it up cos I'm losing my mind right now.” I said to them but no one moved, they didn't act like I was talking to them, then I figured out Felix was standing there looking at me with guilt, mom and Amelia looked cold. “It’s true?.” “It's English Dumbo. You are just the adopted one and I had to pretend to be just your best friend, mom had twins, sho
Shirley's POV I snapped out of my thoughts and pulled away just as the driver walked up to me. He frowned down at the little boy and pulled him away. “I apologise Miss but he must have confused you with someone else. He does this a lot so pay him no mind.” The little boy in question struggled against him and kept stretching to touch me. I sighed and leaned down, picking him up in my arms. Immediately his cries and protest stopped. “I'll just stay with him until he falls asleep.” The driver opened his mouth to argue but I shook my head. “If that's okay, of course,” I added as he struggled within himself. He gave me a curt nod and I smiled. “Could I get some dry clothes?” He sighed and nodded, motioning for me to continue walking. I adjusted the boy's head on my chest and started walking up the stairs again. Once we reached the top stairway, the little boy raised his head and pointed at a door. “That's your room mummy!” He yelled excitedly and started bouncing in my arms. I g

Writer's povJackson knew things had already gotten serious when Shirley didn't return last night. He tried calling her phone several times but it was off. He knew that she wasn't the type to stay out all night without calling or texting. She even has nowhere to go so where could she have spent the night?Jackson called his boys to go in search of Shirley. He was slowly getting a glimpse of what she was trying to tell him last night and he recollected now that her voice was shaky and she sounded like she was very scared about something.“How did I not know that this is what she was trying to tell me?” Jackson asked himself, feeling angry at himself for not being able to understand what she was trying to tell him last night and only when things had gotten late that is when he understood that she was trying to tell him she was in trouble last night. Jackson was scared, he didn't even know who was after her. He was wondering if it was Amelia or Felix but both of them seemed to know noth
Writer's povJackson was on his way back home when he got a call from Shirley, he was wondering what it's about because the last time he checked Shirley told him she wouldn't be going anywhere and all of a sudden he received a phone call and she sounded really distressed in that call. Even though Jackson couldn't hear what Shirley was saying you couldn't help but worry because he knew that Shirley wouldn't have called him if it wasn't as serious as the situation was.Jackson doesn't always go through his messages when he's on his way home but this time he thought differently and decided to check the message. After listening to everything he drove into the compound angrily. He was hoping that everything Shirley said in the message wasn't true. Jackson stepped out of the car and angrily walked into the house. The moment he got in, the first person he saw was Matilda, she made dinner in place of Shirley. The moment he saw her he got so upset and headed upstairs but Shirley was not in t
Shirley pov“I know that you are just being jealous because I am finally doing something that you've never been able to do for him since both of you got married, it's been 2 years now and you still do not have even one child for him, look at me in just one night I already got pregnant, doesn't that ring a bell?” I quietly listen to her rant all she wants, obviously I know that she's telling a lie so there was no point exchanging words with her. I just wanted her to know that it will be a very bad idea to tell Jackson about a pregnancy that does not belong to him. “I really do not care about you, I'm only worried about the innocent child you're carrying, so I would advise that you do not tell Jackson any nonsense about being pregnant, sweetheart, you're gonna regret it.” I said to her and was about to walk away when her statement stopped me from walking away. I turned to look at her angrily when I heard what she said. I can't believe she could open her mouth to say such a thing to m
Hearing that Matilda had sex with Jackson wasn't anything to me because I knew exactly what happened that night. I didn't want to say a word because I was waiting to see the kind of trick she's still going to pull.I feel like I have been putting up with love nasty things that Matilda does in this house and maybe now wait a time for me to put her in a place at least for once since she has refused to get the memo even after our last conversation. I smiled at Jackson while he was eating breakfast, both of us haven't made a relationship official because I don't know if he feels the same way that I feel about him, so I am trying my best to get ahead of myself and end up getting embarrassed. I feel like I'm waiting for the best time when I will finally be able to express my feelings to him but for now I have Matilda to deal with.“See you later at night.” Jackson said to me when he was done eating breakfast as he headed out of the house.I was the only one seated in the dining room while
