Writer's pov

Jackson 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.

    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

    Shirley povJackson was finally conscious after some hours. I was relieved to see him healthy again. 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

    Shirley pov I stared at his face waiting patiently to hear what he was about to tell me, he looked so serious which got me a little worried. “What is it?” I asked when he still wasn't saying anything. “I was invited to a birthday party.” I couldn't believe my ears, did he just want to tell me this? “Oh.” “Yeah, and you will have to come with me, it's a birthday party.” I dropped my spoon mistakingly the moment I heard what he said. “Look, I know that was not the agreement we had, the only reason why we are here together is because we wanted to help each other, you take care of the kid, while I your family issues, but this is….” “Why are you explaining so much, there's nothing wrong about attending a birthday party with you.” “Are you sure about what you're saying? 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. I decided to concentrate on Dylan since he is st

    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

    Writer’s povThe reunion was over before they knew it. They all headed back to their house and it was just Felix, Shirley, Jackson, Amelia and Micheal that were left on the table. “This has to be the worst day for me this week.” Amelia said with a faint smile on her face. She was so pissed and she wasn’t ready to hide it. She brushed her hand backwards, refusing to make eye contact with Shirley because she might try to do something stupid. “Why did you lie to them?” Shirley asked Amelia angrily. Amelia exhaled sharply when she heard what Shirley asked her. “Why do you always like to act highly of yourself? Why do you always have to make me feel so little?” Amelia asked Shirley angrily. Shirley was confused when she heard what Amelia said to her. “What are you talking about?” Shirley asked. She angrily stood up and walked to the toilet because she was not ready to start that conversation with Amelia. Jackson noticed what was going on even though he was having a not so friendly c

    Shirley’s povWhile we were on our way back to the house I couldn’t stop stealing glances at him trying to imagine how he was able to tell that I was having my school reunion today and he came without telling me and even came with a flower, I was so happy that I didn’t know what to say, I made sure that Amelia and no one else ruins the kind of happiness I was feeling because it’s something I have never felt in a very long time. I was very pleased that he took the initiative to be there and he was really caring all through the time he was there with me, he made sure I was comfortable and even came with a flower. I turned to look at him and realized he was looking at me so I looked away immediately feeling very shy. “I shouldn’t have turned.” I said to myself while I was feeling too shy to look towards his side again after meeting with his eyes a few seconds ago. “Why did you not tell me about the reunion?” He finally asked.
