Shirley povThough the voice sounded very familiar I couldn’t tell exactly who It was but I know it’s someone that has talked to me before. After calling my name the caller didn’t say any other thing, she just kept mute so I decided to wait too, maybe the person would finally say something else.“Shirley.” The person called my name again. It was at this moment I realized who it was, I opened my eyes wider than normal when I recollected who the person was. “How dare you? What makes you think you have the right to call me?” I asked her angrily, Jackson raised his head to look at me when he heard what I said because from the way I sounded he could tell I was very upset. “Shirley, are you really not going to hear me out, I know that what we did was wrong and you have every fight to be angry but please I want you to put the past behind you…”“I should put my past behind me? Do you know what my past looks like? Living with strangers for a very long time and the one I trusted so much was
Shirley pov I hated it so much how I always feel relieved whenever I hear them call me dear daughter. I don't know why it's so hard for me to hate them after everything they have done to me. At first I hated that she called me their daughter but suddenly I realized I was feeling relieved and a little excited after hearing that. I know that I must have sounded very rude and angry but that is because I want them to feel the pain and rejection they made me feel. Sometimes I wonder what went wrong because they have suddenly changed. Back then when Amelia got married to Felix they acted like I was a forbidden child like I did something very wrong by dating the same guy their biological daughter fell in love with and now all of a sudden they are trying to be nice to me. I couldn't help but find it a little suspicious. “Why do you always think I have something planned each time I decide to call you?” Sharon asked. “I know you don't like me. I mean you said it to me so why are you trying
Shirley PovAfter my conversation with Marissa I realized that maybe it's not the end of something I like to do, in a few days we are going to be having a family dinner where gifts will be presented maybe now is the time for me to show them that I am no more the Shirley they used to know and now I can do so much I never knew I could do.I stood up from the bed and immediately stepped out of the room, shockingly the first thing that I saw was the secret room. I looked around the sitting room, Jackson is supposed to be out of the house now, so why is the room opened like this? I moved closer a little to confirm if I was seeing correctly and just as I thought, I was right when I said the door was opened, I recalled the last misunderstanding we had and how I promised him I will not go into the secret room again.While I was looking around, I finally decided to go in and see what it is that Jackson was hiding from everyone. When I got in, the room was dark so I turned on my phone torch lig
Shirley POVI was patiently waiting to hear what she had to say. I don’t know why she would say such a thing if she didn't know who my real parents are. “I will send you an address, come see your dad there, he needs you now.” I was confused, what was she talking about? Why is she sounding like she really knows who my biological parents are“Do you really think I will fall for something like that?” I asked her angrily, I could tell from her silence that she was mad, because I said that she was telling a lie. “Shirley, I wish this was a prank too, you need to come before it’s too late, I’ll text you the hospital address.” Aunt Alicia said and ended the call. I was still in shock, I just wanted to believe this is one of her few tricks to have a conversation with me. If she knew who they were all these years why didn’t she say anything? Why did she make me live such a pitiful life when my parents were probably searching everywhere for me. I rushed into my room immediately and sat on the
Shirley pov“Where are we going Shirley?” she kept asking but each time she asked the question I would increase the car speed angrily. It continued like that until she stopped asking me where we were headed. After a long ride we finally arrived at the mansion Alicia was surprised that I drove to the house that I said I would never visit again.“Why are we here?” Alicia asked me as she refused to get out of the car until I told her the reason why I drove us to the house. “Just come with me then you will get to know why I drove us here.” I said to her and stepped out of the car without waiting to hear what she had to say.When I got into the house Luke and Sharon were shocked to see me, I could tell from the way they were looking at me I mean it was obvious on their face that they were shocked to see me in their house because I had already said that I would never visit because we are no longer families.“Shirley.” Sharon called my name as she stood up and walked closer to me. “Why are yo
Writer's pov “What are you talking about?” Shirley asked, still in disbelief. Shirley was finding it hard to believe that Alicia is her biological mother, she has never tried to be a mother to her.“Alicia, do you know what you're talking about?” Sharon asked, still finding it hard to believe as well. “I am your brother and you never told me anything about having a child so what are you talking about?” Luke said to her.“Yes I know that you all are shocked to hear the truth but at some points I knew I would end up telling the truth.” Amelia, Shirley, Sharon and Luke, were looking at Alicia still trying to figure out if she was actually telling the truth, and from her facial expression they could tell that she was actually telling the truth.“I kept it away from you all because back then I was too young there's no way I could be a mother to the baby. I didn't even know if I was doing anything right and so I decided to drop her at an orphanage where she would be adopted by good parent
Writer’s povShirley went downstairs to eat dinner with the family and Jackson could tell from the look on her face that she was not fine, she didn’t want to talk to him but he was worried, he thought they had gotten close enough to start telling each other their worries, but seeing the way Shirley was not telling him her worried made him think the opposite, he realized that their relationship might not be to her the way he imagined. “Lisa, come take him to his room.” Shirley called when she noticed Dylan was not eating and he kept disturbing her. Jackson was confused, Shirley would never do such to his son on a normal day so why is she being so mean all of a sudden?“What is going on Shirley, you have been moody, and I kept asking but you’re not willing to tell me what happened. Did you meet Felix? What did he say to you?”“Can you stop! Stop already, you make me sick.” Shirley said angrily. It was this moment that made Jackson sure that something is wrong, something is definitely w
Shirley povIt's been days already since I found out that Alicia is my biological mother with ex-boyfriend while she was still in high school it still very hard for me to believe but at the end of the day it's the truth and I just have to believe it but I haven't brought myself to tell Jackson about it I really don't know how to tell him about it. I just feel really ashamed that I have a lot of problems in my life and I always end up telling him about it and it looks like I'm always disturbing him with my family issues which is what I don't want to happen this time around.I got up from the bed and walked into the toilet where I was still looking at myself in the mirror trying to find out who I really am cuz at this point I don't even know who I am anymore, new things keep coming up making me feel like I never knew myself. Alicia, Sharon and Luke have been trying to call me but I haven't been picking their phones because I am yet to accept reality.I stepped out of the toilets and wa
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 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 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
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 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
