Shirley povI was shocked to hear what Felix said to me then I pushed him away, why does he think in his wildest dream that isn’t me, what makes him so sure of that mentality. I have tried so many times to make him know that I have a mind of my own and he’s not going to make me his woman because he lost his chances when he had them. “Get your filthy hands off me, can’t you get it that I don’t love you anymore? Why do you keep acting this way for crying out loud, you are beginning to make me Uncomfortable in a very bad way. Felix let go of my hands just like I pleaded. We both stood outside, with different things on our mind. He probably had our relationship issues on his mind while I had something else on my mind, there’s no way we are going through this when he clearly let go of my hand. “What is going on here?” Amelia came and broke the beautiful silence as we were trying to cheat our heads. When Felix heard what she said. He walked back into the house without saying anything an
Shirley povAfter the doctor left everyone had already gone to their rooms. We would be staying with Yvonne for a few days until things get a little better and we trace the kidnappers. Dylan and I were sharing a room. I could not sleep as I was worried about him. Looking at him now makes me pity him a lot. I wonder what the childhood trauma could be. The reality that a very little boy like him had already gone through a trauma was even more pitiful.I stood up from the bed and headed inside the toilet, when I was done using the toilet I stepped out and went back to bed. Even after trying several times I still could not fall asleep. While I was struggling to fall asleep Dylan woke up. “Oh my goodness, Dylan are you okay?” I asked him and he only looked at me without saying anything, this was the time reality hit me then I realized what the doctor said was true Dylan would not be able to speak until he's able to overcome the trauma. “Are you hungry?” I asked him and he nodded his he
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
Third Person's POV Shirley felt like she was hallucinating or suffering from a hearing problem. “Uncle Jackson?” Felix muttered as he let go of my hand. “What are you doing here?” Jackson ignores him and turned to the woman who was standing there, looking utterly confused. “Darling would you like to retouch your makeup in the car?” Shirley stammered. “I…there's…sure.” She eventually gave in and allowed him lead her to the car. Amelia pinched Felix's hand and glared at Shirley's back, envy trimming in her eyes. “How does she even know him? Why would he want someone as plain as her?” Felix was too stunned to pick up on the jealousy in her voice. “I don't know. What is he even doing here?” He turned to ask his grandmother but found that she had walked off. He sighed and patted Amelia's arm. “I'm going inside. Are you coming?” Amelia bit her lip and stared at the luxury car parked in the driveway. She smirked as an evil plan formed in her mind. “I'll join you,” Felix nodded and
Shirley’s povThe next morning. I woke up very early in the morning and sat up on the bed while yawning with my hand covering my mouth. I suddenly had a flashback to what happened last night. My heart started beating faster than normal then I placed my hand on my chest. “I can’t believe he actually did that yesterday.” I muttered and placed my hand on my head feeling conflicted. The more I tried not to think about it the more it lingered in my mind. I heaved a sigh of worry, there were so many things to consider, which is why I was leaving more in accepting then rejecting it. Seeing how arrogant Amelia has become because she succeeded in getting Felix I thought life would be very difficult for me if I don’t accept him, they’re going to keep rubbing it in my face that they were able to hurt me. But considering what he does, Jackson is a dangerous Mafia, my life could be in danger living with him. I was getting frustrated and tired thinking about everything, I fell back on the bed

Shirley povI was relieved to see Jackson’s men, apparently they’ve been strategizing and spreading around so that they can have a smooth operation. Seeing Jackson in his element made me totally into him, I could finally see the thing they were talking about when they called him the ruthless Mafia.After a lot of shooting, he walked out of the building with Dylan. “Leave with him immediately.” Jackson ordered.“What about you?” I asked Jackson, I didn’t want to go without him because the place is very dangerous. “Just go, I’ll be fine.” Jackson yelled, I didn’t have any other choice but to leave. One of his men followed and he took the car and we drove out of the environment. While we were driving back to the house, I was scared. I was wondering what would happen to Jackson now.After a long ride we arrived at the house, I walked inside with Dylan immediately.“Thank goodness.” Yvonne said as she was running down the stairs, Dylan was too weak to say anything, he just kept staring
Writer's povAmelia was in the sitting room while Yvonne was pacing around uncomfortably; she was wondering why Shirley and Jackson were yet to give her updates on their search for Dylan.Amelia couldn't care less about what happens to the little boy because she did not have any bond with him and at the same time she thought it would save them the stress of raising such a child.“Why am I yet to get any information from them?” Yvonne asks herself as she couldn't keep calm. She turned to look at Amelia who seemed unconcerned about the present occurrence.At first she thought Amelia was just a very spoilt child but seeing her level of lack of emotion she realized that Amelia was not just spoiled but also a wicked person.Yvonne was scared of calling because Jackson sternly warned her not to call him no matter what the condition might be because of where he is. She just wants them all to be safe. Felix got back to the house and sat on the coach tiredly. Amelia did not bother saying any
Shirley povI increased the car speed as I was driving back to the house. I know that it has always been their plan to see me hurt but I was not willing to let them have their way.I drove as fast as I could without checking if I would be pursued by the police. While driving so many thoughts kept crossing my mind. I was wondering what kind of trouble Jackson would be in for him to call me the way he did. Jackson is not the type to confide in anyone like that so I was scared at the same time.Dylan has been kidnapped for more than three days and there's been no hope of finding him, then all of a sudden Jackson has a lead on where he could be, but I don't know what the problem is this time around. Finally after a very long drive I arrived at the location that Jackson sent to me. I looked around the environment very well and it looked like an abandoned environment. I was wondering, what could be going on here? There were no houses around, nobody , not even a soul was outside. Though I

It was another wake up call to remind me that they were not 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.

She was about to start crying because the whole Felix thing was driving her crazy already.“Amelia, look at me, if you keep going this way, you'll end up like me.” Amelia was confused When she heard what Yvonne said to her.“What are you trying to say?” Amelia asked curiously.
