Writer's pov“Is she yet to forgive you?” Sharon asked Alicia when Alicia was sitting on the couch looking really sad. Sharon sat beside her on the couch and handed a glass of juice to her. “Shirley is a very stubborn girl so I'm not sure she's taking this long to accept reality.” “I really hate myself for keeping such a huge secret from her for so long, I never knew that a day would come when I would end up telling her the truth. I just wanted everything to keep going the way it was going but seeing her biological father dying I had no other choice but to call her.” “How were you able to keep such a secret from me and your brother? We have no idea you already had a child when you were in high school. Didn’t you think for once about telling us?”“I thought about it several times but I just couldn't bring myself to tell you about my shameful past.”“Does your husband know about her?” Alicia turns to look at Sharon the moment she asks. “Yes.” Sharon couldn't hold in the laughter whe
Amelia’s povI was hurt even though we haven't been the best couples. I still thought that maybe one day we would end up choosing each other but seeing this right now maybe I realize that I have been delusional and things might never change. I placed my hand on my chest because I was hurting seriously. Just when things had gotten better it only got even worse.“This cannot happen now.” I muttered to myself and sat on the bed. There was so much going on in my head at this point because why did he even think of it in the first place and he even had the documents ready.“I will never let him divorce me.” I said and folded the paper angrily before getting up from the bed. I got out of the room and headed to the dining room where he was eating breakfast with yvonne.“Finally Amelia you are here, we have been waiting for you. Why did you wake up very late today? It's totally unlike you.”I dropped the paper on the dining table angrily. Felix looked at the paper and looked away almost immedi
Writer's povAmelia had to search for her phone so that she could talk to her mom and dad about what Felix is about to do.“Where is that stupid phone!” Amelia yelled after searching for a while and she was yet to find her phone, at this point she was frustrated and anything at all could piss her off and make her lose her cool. She was trying to act hard and not act like the divorce was getting to her really bad. While searching for a phone she suddenly paused and started crying. It was just too much at this point. She finally found her phone and decided to place a call across to her mom and dad. The moment she made the phone call her mom picked immediately.“Amelia I was just about to call you.” Sharon said to her, sounding excited to hear Amelia's voice and the fact that Amelia was the one that called first made her feel good because she thought Amelia was upset with her. “Mom, I am losing my mind right now.” Sharon sat up properly the moment she had Amelia's tone and she could te
Writer’s povWhile Jackson was driving back to the house he was worried, there was a lot on his mind, he was trying to focus on his driving but it seemed impossible. Why a divorce all of a sudden, things were going well already, why the sudden need to get a divorce? Jackson asked himself several questions while he was driving at full speed, he drove that way till he got back to the house. When he got home, he was so worried that he started looking around the house for Shirley, he checked her room but she was not there, he checked her workroom too but she was not there too, after searching everywhere for her, she was nowhere to be found in the house. He recollected when he was leaving she said something about not leaving the house today because she got lots of painting ideas, and now she’s not in the house?“Where could she be?” Andrew asked himself and brought out his phone, he tried calling several times but she was not picking his calls. “Pick your calls Shirley,” He said a little
Shirley povI was shocked to hear what Sharon said. I know that for a while now Amelia and Felix were said to be doing well together, hearing this all of a sudden came as a shock.“What are you saying? A divorce all of a sudden?” I asked her because I was literally shocked, but I could tell from her sigh that she had other thoughts.“Felix wants a divorce.” I paused what I was doing as my heart started beating faster than normal, why does he want a divorce all of a sudden? What is he planning now? So many thoughts crossed my mind then I remembered what Jackson said to me a few minutes ago. He told me to promise him never to leave him and Dylan because he already knows about the divorce.“Why do you think I have a hand in this? Are you trying to blame me for your daughter being unable to keep her marriage?” I asked her angrily.“Shirley, I think you're overreacting right now.” Sharon said to me with a calm voice. “You think so? If you aren't trying to accuse me then why did you call t
Writer’s povShirley and Jackson were seated on the couch, Shirley still couldn’t get over what Amelia said to her, she kept asking herself questions as she was trying to know how it’s all her fault when she hasn’t done anything to Amelia, in reality Amelia was the one that hurt her, she’s supposed to be mad at Amelia and not the other way round. “Why is she doing this?” Shirley couldn’t wrap her head around the reason why Amelia is obsessed with her, she keeps saying everything is Shirley’s fault even though she’s always the one at fault. “First she got married to my boyfriend, as if that was not enough she tried to stop me from getting married to you and now that they’re about getting a divorce she still blames me? You know I don’t really get her, I have tried several times to understand her but she’s really making it hard for me. Why is she so obsessed with me? She practically blames me for everything.” Shirley yelled out her frustration and Jackson sat down quietly and listene
Shirley pov Even though Jackson tried to warn me about meeting with Amelia, I still felt like that's the best thing to do at this point because there is nothing I would say to her that will make her listen to me and understand that I have no hand in the whole divorce thing. The case was even more complicated than I had earlier imagined. I just wish Felix could end the whole divorce plan because that is the only way Amelia would feel better and maybe she would decide to stop making life difficult for me. “It's really hard to go back to my peaceful days.” I muttered to myself tiredly. While I was in deep thoughts I suddenly remembered that Jackson hasn't returned yet he said he will be stepping out on a short errand and it's getting late already and he's yet to return.I realized that I have been getting very worried about him of late. I really don't know why, I can't tell if I really am falling for him already. There's so much going on right now and falling in love can't be part of
Shirley povI couldn't stop worrying about Jackson even though I tried not to bother myself too much about it. I just couldn't help but worry because while he was eating he looked like he was in deep thoughts. “Are you okay?” I asked him worriedly. Jackson raised his head and looked at me with a smile on his face as he nodded his head. “I'm fine.” He said to me almost immediately. Even though he kept saying he's fine I just know that my instincts are never wrong. There is definitely something bothering him and I'm going to find out what it is. While I was still bothering about Jackson's mood and the way he was looking bothered I felt my phone vibration on the dining table and I picked it up immediately to see who the caller is, I wasn't pleased to see that it was Alicia calling I know she's trying to beg me for forgiveness again and there is no way that I'm ready to forgive her for abandoning me for so many years. I was about to ignore the call when I realized Jackson was looking
Writer's povWhen Jackson got back to the house, he rushed upstairs immediately to check if Shirley was still in her room but the moment he got there he didn't see her, he looked around the room worriedly and he couldn't find her anywhere in her room. Before he left she wasn't even able to sit up properly on her bed nor walk around the room so he got scared that something might have happened and maybe they already kidnapped her again from the house.“Shirley.” He tried calling her name several times but she wasn't responding to all the calls, this got him even more scared and almost made him jump into the conclusion that she has really been kidnapped or something might have gone wrong.Jackson rushed back downstairs after checking around the room he headed to the dining area and then he sighted her eating lunch, Jackson was shocked to see Shirley downstairs when he was upstairs searching everywhere for her.“Why do you look like that?” Shirley asked him when she saw the way he was pa
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
