Amelia pov

The only thing he told me last night was that he needed to run an errand but he never returned to the house. I have been waiting since yesterday but he’s not back yet. I wonder what’s going on. I have tried calling several times but Felix is not picking his calls.

I woke up two hours ago. At first I thought he was sleeping in the sitting room but it turned out he never returned to the house since last night.

“What the hell is going on?” I asked myself as I was pacing around the room, I kept stopping myself from thinking he might be with her. I didn’t want to think to such an extent because it's only going to make me feel insecure.

“Good morning grandma.” I greeted her with a smile on my face.

“Good morning Amelia.” She replied with a warm smile on her face. “You look worried, what’s the problem?” She asked as she was handed her morning cup of coffee.

“My husband did not return last night.” I said to her as she was sipping her cup of coffee. She stopped and raised her hea

    Writer’s pov Felix sat up on the bed after his precious sleep was interrupted by his wife. “What are you doing here?” Felix asked her as he was rubbing his eyes. “I was worried about you, you didn’t return home last night so I thought something happened to you.” Amelia explained herself to her husband who seemed displeased to see her barge into his special building like that. “So, how did you find me here?” Felix asked curiously. He wanted to know how she was able to find him there because he had never told her about the place.“I just thought you might be here, that’s not the issue here, why did you not return home last night? We were all worried and you were just here?” Amelia asked him angrily. Felix was not moved by what she was saying because he could tell she was lying. “First thing is no one else knows this place besides Shirley, so how did you find me here?” He stood up and walked closer to her, he was so close that her heart started beating faster than normal. “Have you

    Shirley povMy heart sank the moment I heard her yell at me the way she did. It was another wake up call to remind me that they were not my family. Everytime I try to put the past behind me they always have a way of reminding me that it’s not the past yet. Because they still don’t see me as family. I stood outside the room with Yvonne by my side. After waiting for some minutes the doctor arrived. “Nothing is going to happen to you my love.” Sharon said to Amelia because she was bleeding too much. I couldn’t help but feel sorry for myself as I watched the beautiful mother and daughter session that I have never had. The doctor was able to stop the bleeding and then he gave her something to take so that she can be calm. It was then Felix walked upstairs. He stood outside the room then Sharon rushed to where he was standing and started hitting him. You beast! Are you trying to get my daughter killed?” She asked while she was hitting him. Felix was gentleman enough to stand there with

    Shirley povI was shocked to see that Jackson was still up waiting, though I couldn’t tell if he was waiting for me or he just stepped downstairs to get something and then I was coming inside the house. “I was at your mom’s didn’t know it had already gotten so late.” I said to him, stammering a little and checking my wrist watch. “Why did you go there?” He asked angrily.“I had to go see her because she called me,” I replied almost immediately. I was too tired already from the stress my mom and Amelia put me through, the heartache they made me have so standing here as answering his question was the least thing I want to find myself doing right now. I was about heading upstairs when he held my hand and dragged me to the dinning.“I’m very sure you haven’t had dinner,” he said to me when I sat down. I couldn’t hold in the tears anymore. There was so much I was keeping and it suddenly wanted to explode while I was looking at the food that was served. “Eat up.” Jackson said to me befo

    Shirley povThe next morning when I woke up, the first thing I woke up to was my phone ringing. I was wondering who it could be because I can’t remember the last time my phone rang so early in the morning. I picked up the phone without checking who the caller was.“Hello.” I said with a sleepy eye as I was rubbing them so that I can be fully awake. “Shirley.” I noticed the voice was familiar so I sat up immediately and checked the caller. “Why did you call me so early in the morning?” I asked her after confirming who the caller was. “Have you thought about what we talked about yesterday?” Mom asked. I was wondering why she was trying to push too much this time around, it’s very unlike her to keep pushing for something like this. I remember when I was younger and she was going through work issues, she had to give it up because she said she can’t Keep forcing something to happen. So why is she not giving up this time? Why does she want me to leave here for her daughter?“I can’t r

    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. “Oh dear, you're awake!” She rushed towards me and smiled. “How are you feeling?”“I need water Mum,” I groaned and she quickly poured me a glass from the jug sitting on the nightstand. “Hold on, let me help you sit up.” She placed one hand behind my head and the other was to support me as I struggled to sit up. “There you go,” I thanked her as I brought the glass to my lips and drank. “I'm sore all over. What happened?” She placed the glass on the nightstand and took a seat by the edge of the bed. “You don't remem

    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?” Mum looked between two of us unsure but in the end, she sighed and walked up to us. “I'm sorry you had to find out this way Shirley but Amelia is my daughter.” My eyes widened and I coughed. “What are you saying?” “It's English Dumbo. You are just the adopted one and I had to pretend to be just your best friend so I didn't miss out on a donor for my failing kidneys.” She summarized and I staggered backwards. My ears began ringing badly and tears pricked the back of my eyes but I refused to give in. “So…let me guess, you all put on a good show so I'd willing donate my kidneys to you when the time came.” Amelia clapped her hands with a smirk. “Bingo! See? Now you're getting it.” I turned to look at Felix, my vision blurr

    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

    Shirley's POV He chuckled, the sound both mocking and intimidating. “You won't,” I blinked. “Excuse me?” He cleared his throat. “You won't refuse because deep down you know you need my protection.” He stood up from the table and walked back to his seat. “You're all alone now. Your family and everyone you ever cared about betrayed you. Your whole life is a lie and you are angry. I can help you get revenge against them.” I sucked in a breath, his words opening up the wounds that were beginning to heal. And he was right, I was alone and didn't have anyone. “You can think about it but you don't have time. I do always get what I want and seeing as my little boy is convinced you're his mother, I will make sure it stays that way.” I shivered and swallowed. “I need to go and prepare for my day..” I whispered as I staggered to my feet. “You're attending Yvonne Steel's birthday party.” He announced and I whipped around in shock. Had he been stalking me or something? “Adam will take you

Marissa and I got very close, though it seemed like there was something bothering her even though she didn’t want to tell me the truth about what was bothering her. “Good morning mom,” Dylan greeted me with a bright smile on his face as he hugged me. It's been six days since Jackson got back and we haven’t said anything to each other, we either miss each other or just pass each other without saying anything.

The main thing she couldn’t get over is the fact that her father remembered it’s her birthday and he had to be the first to wish her. Shirley didn’t know how to feel anymore, her marriage with Jackson was just so complicated and funny at the same time because one day he’s being mean and annoying and the next day he’s someone else she never even imagined him to be.

Yesterday was an eye opener to him, he was able to see how much time had gone by and the realization hit him again that he will never see her again or hear her voice. “Shit
