Shirley pov

The maid got me a glass of water to aid me to stop coughing, after drinking it, I handed the cup back to her.

“Do you feel better now?” Yvonne asked and I nodded my head because I was really feeling better.

“You would need to host it, and let them know it's going to be the last because you are here now.” I opened my eyes wider than normal because that was really a cold thing to do, I couldn't imagine myself saying something so cold and heartless.

“You think you cannot do it?” Yvonne asked, clearly she could tell from the look on my face that I was not going to say such a thing.

“I don't think I can, that would be very cold of me, her family would be here.”

“I thought so too, you know I was in your place once.” I was shocked to hear what she said, does it mean she's not Jackson’s biological mother?

    Shirley's povThe face didn't look in any way familiar to me, so I was wondering why she wanted to speak to me.“Hello, my name is Tivona and I would love to have a word with you.” “Me?” I asked to confirm if I heard correctly.“Yes you.” She repeated. I was wondering what it is she wants to talk about, could it be something so serious? I decided to step out of the car and hear what she wants to tell me.“Ma'am I saw your car parked on the highway so I already knew what your plan was.” I looked around me trying to see if there's anyone else around that she might he speaking to “So.. what was my plan?” I asked curiously because she sounded like she knew me very well so I would also like to know what the plan she saw was.“It might be very rough right now, but I promise you it's just a phase, suicide isn't always the best option.” I held in the laughter as well as I could. I didn't want her to feel stupid that’s why I did that. I don't know why she would think I was planning on commit

    Writer's povJackson noticed that Shirley's eyes were fixed on something in particular then he realized he was still holding the gun he was with earlier. “Oh, sorry.” He said and fixed the gun into the bag he was holding, even though he did that, Shirley was still scared, the fact that he had a gun around the house is what scared her the most. She didn't know what she was getting herself into when she agreed to marry him that day.“The doctor called and said you visited.” Shirley was still trying to recover from the gun she just saw and so she was unable to think clearly. “Shirley, did you hear what I just said?” Jackson asked her.“Sorry, what did you say?” Shirley asked.“Look, I'm sorry if I have been mean and rude to you, it's just that I have a lot to deal with these days and it's mentally draining me.” Shirley was not in any way focused when he was talking, she just smiled and raised her head to look at him.“It's fine, what were you saying?” She asked again curiously because

    Writer's povJackson was still very upset with the way things eventually played out, he didn't say anything to his boys while they were heading back to the house, this gave them the signal that he was not fine. “Boss, you should have let me blow up their head, how dare he think he can fool you?” One of the boys said trying to make Jackson feel better but he just couldn't care less about what they were saying, the only thing that concerned him was the fact that he couldn't do anything to them after seeing the other hidden cameras they hid in the place.“Someone is plotting against me.” The driver stopped the car the moment he heard what Jackson said and the other boys turned to look at Jackson in disbelief because why would anyone be so fearless to try such a thing?“who would dare?” One of the boys asked still finding it very hard to believe that anyone would want to set Jackson up knowing the kind of person he is, if he was not so smart he would have fallen for the trap, good thing

    Felix povWhile we were on our way back to the house I was so upset that I wanted to return to the house and give Jackson a slap on the face. The whole thing was frustrating, the fact that he always thinks he can speak to me the way he wants all because he's richer.“What is going on Felix?” Amelia asked with her hands folded around her chest.“What do you mean?” I asked her angrily. She just comes up with stupid topics every time.“I am talking about the eye movement you were doing over there, do you think I didn't see the way you were looking at her?” “I don't know what you're talking about.” I replied to her and faced the other side of the car.I was still very upset so what she was saying didn't mean anything to me.“Felix!” She yelled angrily.“Stop the car.”Said to the driver because I might have to take a cab back to the house.“What is it Amelia?” I asked angrily.“You want to pretend you don't understand what I'm talking about when I clearly saw you staring at her. If you ha

I can't believe I almost killed my husband just because I didn't know what he's allergic to. “I'm so sorry about this, I shouldn't have tried to act like I knew you too well.” I apologized to him sincerely.“It's fine, you don't have to be guilty, how were you supposed to know that I don't eat apples when I never said anything about my allergies to you? At least now you know.” Jackson said to me and smiled.He sounded so calm and he wasn't angry at all.Though I was feeling guilty but after hearing what he said I felt better, he was completely understanding and that made me feel good.While we were at it the nanny called my phone, I was wondering why she was calling because I had settled everything for Dylan.“Ma'am, Dylan has been crying since he got back from school, I have tried practically everything to calm him down but he's still crying, I don't know what to do anymore.” The nan

Thought you dropped the spoon because you were shocked.” “No, that was a mistake. It's a birthday party so I'm in.” I said to him with a smile on my face.

    Shirley povIt is finally the day and I couldn’t tell Jackson last night about the reunion because he was having a very bad time, maybe it’s for the best, I should just go alone and think of what to tell them when I get there. I looked at the dress I brought out again and realized it might not be good enough, it’s better I wear the limited edition, if I’m not going with him I should still try to stand out.I picked out the dress and went into the bathroom to have my shower. When I was done showering I walked out of the bathroom and sat on the bed. I wore something very comfortable and headed out of the room. Dylan wouldn’t be going to school today, he’s going to be homeschooled for the day so I didn’t bother trying to take him to school. “Good morning.” The maid greeted with a smile on her face. “Has he left?” I asked the maid.“Yes, not too long ago.” She replied almost immediately. I can’t even tell him about it even though he’s not going there he should at least be aware of it
