WRITER’S POVShirley returned to the house she was shocked to see that Felix and Amelia hadn't left the house and the first person she saw when she got to the house was Felix. He was sitting on the couch like he was intentionally waiting for me to return home. “Welcome back uncle.” Shirley turned to look at Felix when she heard his voice, she knew that the only reason why Felix was greeting so respectfully was because he might need help from Jackson as that’s the kind of person he is. “Why are you still here?” Jackson asked Felix who was looking really surprised to hear the question Jackson asked. “Grandma said she wasn’t done fulfilling the promise she made to her younger sister so there’s no way we would leave just like that. Jackson was furious he hates when his orders are not being followed just the way he wants. “Mom said that?” Jackson asked and angrily picked out his phone from his pocket Shirley was scared because of how angry he looked, he looked like he was about to do s
Shirley povAfter looking around for a while it started getting clear to me that Jackson was not over his ex-wife. I walked back to the room tiredly as I was thinking about what to do next from here, even though our relationship was not a real one I still don’t want to live with someone that cannot get rid of his past. I walked back to the room tiredly and heaved a sigh while sitting on the bed, this might be harder than I thought it would be.“Maybe Amelia was right anyways.” I muttered to myself feeling very sad.###The next morning when I woke up, I stretched my body while I was still laying on the bed. Then I stood up, I could hear noise from downstairs but I couldn’t tell what was going on so I stood up from the bed and rushed downstairs to see what was going on. Shockingly it was Dylan causing the ruckus, I was scared when I saw him crying and the maids were trying to calm down.“Bring my mummy back.” Dylan pleaded to his father and even though Jackson was trying to explain to
Shirley povAfter the doctor spoke to Jackson and I, I went to Dylan's room to check up on him and he was sleeping peacefully. I stared at his face very well and recollected the first day he saw me and how he rushed to me excitedly. Maybe he thought his mom had returned already. I patted his head slowly while watching him sleep. After hearing everything the doctor said, I decided within myself that I’ll do anything and everything to make sure he gets over the horrible past that is haunting him. I was about to get up from the bed when he held unto me very tight. “Don’t go mom.” He said to me with a sleepy voice. I couldn’t leave after hearing him say that to me. I don’t know why he always think I’m about to leave him, though I know that it’s as a result of PTSD but I really want him to trust me and know that I wouldn’t leave him just like that. “I’m not going anywhere, I’m here with you.” I said to him a little above a whisper while rubbing his hands lovingly. While spending time w
Writer’s povShirley was shocked to see that Jackson had been watching her from the corridor. At first he wanted to confront her but he stopped himself from doing that and just stood there watching her. Jackson knew it was completely unlike him to do such a thing instead he would go to the person and sometimes he might do something stupid to the person. But unexpectedly he realized he was very calm about it. When she turned to look at him watching her, she froze, she knew that he warned her not to get close to the room but she still went ahead to go in, even after trying to explain herself she still couldn’t say a complete sentence without shaking. Jackson walked closer to her and she took some steps back as she looked him in the eyes,his eyes were cold, Shirley could immediately tell that he was very upset even though he was trying to hold it in. “What did I tell you about this place?” He asked, still moving closer to her. “Dylan was…” Shirley stammered and still couldn’t say anyt
Jackson povWhen I got to my other apartment were I do business, i recollected everything that happened few minutes ago and how she looked at my face, I knew she went into the secret room to get Dylan out but I knew very well that she was snooping around because he came out and she was still in there. She looked really scared when she got out which made me wonder if she was able to see anything inside the room. “I really don’t know why she acts like that.” I muttered to myself and heaved a sigh. The thought of going back to the house tonight made me tired. Maybe we shouldn’t have left mom’s house, because there it would have been easier to avoid her. “Sir, there's new information,” One of my boys said to me, I immediately snapped out of my mindless thought when I heard what he said. He lowered his head and whispered the news in my ears. I raised my head to look at him when he was done talking to me. “There’s no way I’m going to let that slide. Take him to the cell.” I ordered an
Writer’s povJackson couldn’t do anything to Logan even though he did such a terrible thing to him, he hated it so much that he couldn’t hurt Logan.“Lock him up.” Jackson ordered and kept the pistol back in the bag. Logan opened his eyes when he heard what Jackson said to the present team leader. The team leader was shocked to see Jackson was unable to do anything to Logan, he has always known Logan to be a very heartless person but all of a sudden he’s unable to do anything to Logan even after he did something Jackson hates the most.“Sir are you not going to do anything to him?” The team leader asked, finding it hard to believe that Jackson is not going to kill Jackson on the spot. “Did you not hear what I said?” Jackson asked angrily. Logan wiped his tears and raised his head to look at Jackson. “Thank you for sparing me, I promise to get your money back no matter what it takes. “I am not letting you go. I just don’t want to kill you yet, that’s the only respect I can give your
Jackson povI woke up with a banging headache even though I went to bed earlier than normal, I recalled the moment I slept on the bed. I still had my socks and other things on because I slept unexpectedly. I suddenly remembered the time I woke up and sighted someone in the room though my vision was blur I could tell it was Shirley that came into my room last night, somehow I would definitely find out the truth. I stood up from the bed and headed downstairs with my hand on my head because I was having a banging headache. When I got downstairs I sat on the couch and requested a cup of coffee. While I was waiting for the maid to get my cup of coffee I sighted Shirley and Dylan walking down the stairs, I smiled at Dylan because I knew he would definitely come greet me before leaving. Dylan looked at me and headed to the dinning without coming over to where I was seated. I was confused because Dylan would never do such a thing on a normal day so I could tell he was upset with me and did
Shirley povI could tell their conversation was very tense, I didn’t know what to say. I headed back to the sitting room when I realized that Jackson left his mother all by herself in the sitting room when they were in the middle of an important conversation. “How are you managing to stay here with him?” She asked me as she was sitting on the couch.“He’s been really good to me.” I replied to her almost immediately.“You know you can talk to me, I’m his mother, I know how hard he can be.” Yvonne said to me. So far he has really been good to me so I had nothing to complain about.“Thanks but he’s been really good to me.” I insisted because I was telling the truth. Yvonne had no other choice but to believe what I said to her. She looked troubled, I could tell there was something she wanted to tell me but she was finding it hard to say it to me. “It’s her memorial in a few days.” I opened my eyes wider than normal when I heard what Yvonne said to me, Jackson was on his way back to the
Writer’s povIt’s been days now since Felix handed the divorce papers to Amelia and she’s yet to give him a reply, both of them barely talks, and they don’t even see each other most of the time, because it was taking time so Amelia was hoping that he wouldn’t bring up the conversation again because she didn’t know how she would react if he dared to bring it up again. She woke up very early in the morning and just thought about trying to please him one last time so that he forgets completely about the divorce topic. While she was in the kitchen struggling to make breakfast, Yvonne was on her way there to get a bottle of water. She stopped when she heard sounds coming from the kitchen, she was wondering why the maids would wake up so early to make breakfast. Then she walked in hoping to see the maid in the kitchen but surprisingly it was Amelia. Yvonne made it obvious that she was shocked to see Amelia in the kitchen. “What’s going on? I mean why are you up so early trying to make b
Writer’s povShirley and Jackson went out of the house, and while they were on their way to the restaurant Shirley thought of apologizing to him for what happened with the food earlier, she thought that would be the only way he would forgive her. “I’m sorry about earlier, I didn’t tell the chef to….” “I know what happened, you don’t need to apologize.” He said to Shirley as he was trying to stop her from apologizing to him. Shirley was shocked to hear that he knew what happened and how the meal was switched into something else. She realized that might be the reason why he told her to go with him. “You knew what happened? So why didn’t you say anything, I could have told the chef to change it.”“When she was sending the note last night I was downstairs so I told the chef to show me the menu she ordered, that was how I found out her intention.”“Why didn’t you stop the chef?”“There was no point.” Shirley was wondering what he was trying to say and why he was sounding like that in th
Writer’s povIt’s a new day, but not one they should be excited about in Jackson’s house because it’s his ex wife's birthday and because he’s not completely over his ex wife they had to walk on eggshells for the rest of the day. Even though Jackson stopped his wife's memorial that they do monthly he still hasn’t gotten over her completely and seeing Matilda in his house could only stir up the thoughts of his ex wife that were almost forgotten. Shirley woke up late and the first thing that could come to her mind is the fact that today is Daphne’s birthday. Shirley thought it would be better to not do anything that would upset Jackson because today isn’t the best day for him. “Good morning.” Shirley greeted with a bright smile on her face. Jackson gave her a faint smile and sat down for dinner. Shirley knew he wouldn’t be going out on such a special day so she thought it’ll be better she makes him feel better. She gave the chef an order on what’s going to be made today and from the
Writer’s povWhen Amelia got to her room she threw the paper on the floor and was about to rip it into pieces but she stopped herself. She still can’t believe he’s still thinking of divorcing her even though she has proven herself to be a changed person several times. She had stopped yelling and obsessing over him and he’s still hell bent in divorcing her? Amelia was confused and upset, she wanted to tell him to his face that she would never divorce him, but telling him that would only make her look like a pretender so she decided not to do that instead she pretended to be fine with what he said. Seeing that she has successfully brought Yvonne to her side made her even more happy because all that’s left for her to do now is to get rid of Shirley, once Shirley Is out of the way he wouldn’t think about divorcing her anymore. “Shirley is the problem and she has always been the problem.” Amelia said to herself as she heard echoes of what she heard him say to Yvonne a few minutes ago. He
Writer’s povAmelia has been living quietly for a while even though her plan is all set, she realized it wouldn’t be easy for her to carry it out the way she pleases because it’s too early, the family needs to trust her very well and they need to see that her relationship with Shirley was really genuine that way they would believe whatever she says to them. “Good morning.” Shirley greeted Yvonne with a bright smile on her face. For some reasons Yvonne didn’t find her trust worthy again. She was wondering why Amelia suddenly changed, someone that was going hard about her husband is suddenly behaving like a saint. It seemed really suspicious to Yvonne but she was trying not to let it show that she didn’t trust Amelia. “How was your night?” Yvonne asked. Amelia joined her on the dining with a faint smile on her face. “It was good.” She replied as she sat down. Another change Yvonne noticed is that Amelia is no longer obsessed with her husband, she now lets him do the things he wants t
Writer’s povShirley was shocked that Jackson didn’t say anything to her when he returned. He just rushed upstairs without looking at her. And that made her feel very unpleasant. She was wondering why he would behave like that, she had no other choice but to blame it on Matilda’s presence. Her presence has been annoying everyone in the house and she’s the only one that doesn’t see it. Shirley walked downstairs angrily and sat on the couch, she thought she could have Jackson to talk to about Matilda’s annoying attitude but seeing the way he walked past her without saying anything made her realize there was no point speaking to him about it because he might just end up ignoring her. While she was sitting on the couch she sighted Matilda walking downstairs again, she’s obviously doing all these things to get in Shirley’s nerves and Shirley was beginning to notice what she was trying to do, she decided not to give her the attention she was desperately craving and just focus on somethin
Shirley’s povI didn’t feel good about Matilda’s presence in the house but I had to act like I was okay because I don’t want Jackson to do anything stupid to her. Of late I’ve been seeing some slight changes in him and he’s showing me the side of him I didn’t know of before. So he definitely would try to do something stupid to her if I don’t stop him. “You’re good with her?” He suddenly asked and I snapped out of my mindless thought. “Not exactly, but it’s obvious she has nowhere to go, if she had a place to stay she wouldn’t be here, forcing herself to stay with us.” I tried to explain to him. I was trying to suppress his anger so that he could calm down and not scream on her at the top of his voice. “Does my house look like a charity home where those without a roof under their head can run to whenever they like?” He asked angrily. I couldn’t say anything when he asked the question, our happy family meal time had already been ruined because of her presence. I cursed under my breat
Writer’s povShirley and Jackson decided to move peacefully with their lives and not let anything come between them. She made lunch for the family after telling the maids not to worry about serving thdm because she wants to he in charge of making lunch.While she was cooking in the kitchen Jackson walked inside and started inhaling the aroma of a tasty meal. He couldn’t stop inhaling the aroma because if smelt really delicious.“Looks like the queen of the house decided to cook herself today, what’s the occasion?” Jackson asked with a bright smile on his face as he was waiting to hear what she’s going to say.“Is it a bad idea to just decide to cook? There’s no occasion, I just want to do this.”“Are you a good cook?” He asked curiously and sat down so that he can watch her cook. Shirley was surprised to see Jackson act so sweet towards her. He was wondering what was the occasion.Shirley hardly sees him he this sweet towards her but it felt good seeing him act that way, she couldn’t
Amelia povI stood up from the floor where I was sitting angrily and then I realized that I cannot sit down and do nothing anymore I have to make her pay whichever way possible, I'll make sure that she feels so much pain that would make her unable to forget me as long as she lives.I felt hurt and the only way I can feel better is if I see her in pain as well, I will make sure that she pays for what she has made me go through.I was in the hospital for hours watching over Yvonne just as he wanted, I went as far as telling a lie for him and the only thing he could use to repay me is to betray me like this dropping such a message for me when he knows that it's something that I can never accept. I decided to start my new plan, there is no point waiting for the right time anymore because clearly no time will ever be right what that girl needs is my wrath.I will never forgive Shirley for what she did to me, I'll never let her live happily after ruining my life like this, she made my husban
