“Shit!” He cursed as I immediately put on my clothes and ran to the door while asking him to hide.I peeped through the peeping hole and noticed my friend standing there. But what was she doing here? I quickly opened and as usual she engulfed me in her arms.“I missed you so much.” She said and I nodded.“So, I'm here for the tea. Tell me,” “What? How did you know Clinton traveled?” I was shocked.“It's not important, I have something to tell you.” She said and I realized her face fell.“Is there a problem Loren?” I asked concerned.“Yes, but before that tell me how your useless plan is going, you might end up falling back for him again.” Her face suddenly lit but not the way I know her.“The plan is going great, you know what. I actually forgot to pick something for Clinton. Let's go and pick it now while you tell me what's bothering you.” I suggested as I took my car keys, I was still in my sleeping clothes.“Maybe you should put on a dress,” she suggested.“No I'm okay like this,
I opened the door, removing my coat and was met by the surprise of my life.“Is this the time you get back home as a wife? What has my son got himself into?” An older woman who was looking at me with a judgy look questioned.“Darling, let it go.” The man seated on the sofa said.“No I can’t, I mean look at her dress, all thighs out as a married woman. This is ridiculous.”“I am sorry, who are you guys?” “Of course you are, I am Mrs Smith Clinton’s mother, and that’s my husband Mr Smith.” She introduced but not in a polite tone.“I am sorry for coming late, my friend had a breakdown.” I apologized.“Of course she did, well my son doesn’t know but we came to see you. Now I see why my son had been hiding you from us.” She commented, still scanning me with a judgy look.“I hope you guys settled in, I’ll be in the bedroom if you need anything.” I tried to excuse myself.“We haven’t had dinner, we were waiting for you to come make dinner.” She said as if daring me.“Unless you can’t cook,
I couldn’t believe my ears, “Wait Clinton didn’t tell you?” Mrs Smith added looking at me with an intimidating look. If eyes could kill, I could be dead by now.I looked at the little girl who was now in her mothers arm asking for Clinton. I held back my tears and went to the bedroom,“Loren, Loren please pick up.” I sounded broken and desperate.“Babe calm down, what’s the problem?” She asked as soon as she picked.
“Oh that’s good, my wife and I are going out.” Clinton informed her,“Oh yes, I will just watch a movie before I go to sleep, it’s quite boring. You two enjoy yourself okay.” She said then turned to me.“A beautiful dress,” she complimented me.“Thank you, let’s just say my husband has eyes for good things.” I said and she smiled and agreed “Of course.”Clinton held my hand as we walked out after our final goodbye to her. Judging by her looks she didn’t look like it bothered her at all — maybe I was overreacting, I started to relax as Clinton started the car.“Good even
I was now at the store with Loren searching for a gift for my mother in-law. Loren picked a rather slutty two piece bra and panties,“What about this?” She showed me and we laughed,“Do you want Clinton to kill me?”“What is the women like? Like what do you think she will like, I mean by the way you describe her I think a gun is a better gift for her.” Loren joked again,“I don’t know and Jade is not taking my calls.”“Who, Jade? I mean I thought you broke it off with him. Why don’t you ask Clinton instead?”“Because I’m trying t
Everyone gasped in shock making spiteful comments,“This is unacceptable.”“So she fucked both the uncle, father and son?”“Dirty slut, is it money she needed?”I couldn’t say anything to defend myself, I turned to my mother in-law who ran sobbing — just as I was getting in her good books this happens.Grace approached me.
I woke up to the sound of a monitor, I looked around my surroundings and realized I was in the hospital. My body was connected to many IV's, two with blood were connected to my right arm and one with water to my left.“Auch!” I winced as I touched the bandage wrapped around my head.“Careful,” I heard a familiar voice (Jade). I noticed he was holding my hands and looking at his face, you could tell how tired he was.“What am I doing here and what are you doing here?” I removed my hands from his.“I’m glad y
“Ahh!” I moaned out loud as he groaned and released everything in me.We lay on our back catching our breaths before I stood up and hit the shower.— It’s been a month, Jade and I have been searching for a job here and there. Jade managed to get freelance gigs as he was into estates. I haven’t had any luck, they all didn’t hire me, only offered stripping positions but I didn’t want to be a stripper anymore as my goal was to make my life right.My aunt didn’t even think to check up on me, I guess she heard about the news and was disappointed in me.
I gently squeezed her hands and asked, “What did she say?”“Nothing, she only apologized and told me she's going to seek help,” she said. Even though she tried to hide her pain, I could still tell she was hurting for her—Sophia was her mother after all."Okay, that's good. What did you tell her?”“Nothing, I ended the call in her ear.”“Kiki…”"No, Mom, Sophia is an evil person, she doesn't deserve anyone's forgiveness.”“True, what Sophia did was bad.”“Not bad, separating a mother and child is unforgivable, talk of the pain Layla went through, no, I can't forgive her.”“I understand, I'm not saying what she did was right, no, Sophia caused not only Layla but all of us pain. What I'm saying is that everyone deserves a second chance, especially if they are willing to accept and work on their mistake,” I explained, and she nodded. “You might not be ready by now, but I'm sure one day you will.”“But…”“She will always be the woman who gave birth to you, you will forgive her someday,” I
~JESSICA~I looked around and saw that the whole family was there even Jade who was holding his baby.“Jessica, come here,” Mrs. Smith said, taking me in her arms. I was confused. The last time we were together, she was not pleased with me, she blamed me for Clinton’s conditoin—when Accardo shot him, she even threatened to force him to divorce me if it weren't for the kids. “I hope all is well?” she asked as we pulled away. I only nodded, as I was sure my breath was still full of alcohol. I didn't want to give her a reason to judge me.“Clinton, my boy,” Mr. Smith said, taking Clinton in his arms. When I pulled away from Mrs. Smith's arms, I walked to Mr. Smith, who also took me into his arms. I didn't stay for long in Mr. Smith's arms. "Oh, my baby, look at you,” Mrs. Smith said, walking to Jade. The baby was crying, so she took him from his arms.I turned to Grace, who was chatting with Layla, her daughter-in-law. “Good evening, Grace,” I said, and they both stood to their feet, Gr
~JESSICA~He didn't say anything, he instead sped up and I said, “Clinton, I'm just joking.”“No, you're not, now I understand why you acted like you couldn't see me when those girls talked to me,” he said, and I looked out the window.Since Clinton drove at a fast speed, it only took a few minutes to reach the house. I got out first, and Clinton followed behind.“What did I even do that you played such a trick on me?”“Nothing, you didn't do anything
~JESSICA~“Clinton, how are you? H-how is Kiara?“She's fine, why did you call?” Clinton harshly asked.“I'm glad, and Jessica, how is she?”“She's fine too. Do you have anything to actually say because I'm busy?”“Yes, I want to apologize for everything. I know what I did is unforgivable, especially stealing Sophie from Layla and using her against you. I shouldn't have done that.”"Yes, you shouldn't have.”“I caused another woman pain, I didn't want to accept that what we had or what I thought we had was over, and Jessica,” her voice cracked. I grabbed the phone from Clinton.“Hi Sophia, it's okay, we…” I paused and looked at Clinton, who didn't look happy. “We forgive you and Kiara, she might not forgive you now, but she will, she just needs time.”“Thank you, Jessica, you are such a good person.”“You are good too, you saved Clinton,” I told her, and after bidding goodbye, she ended the call, and we walked toward the entrance.“Why are you such a good person after what Sophia did
~JESSICA~~LONDON~~A WEEK LATER~“Come on, Clinton, she told me he is a friend,” I argued and took a sip of my glass of water as I watched my husband chop vegetables.“I don't care, she can't be friends with boys.” “Kiara is smart, I don't think anyone can play her.” I placed the glass on the counter and leaned on the counter.“Play her, okay, that's it, she's coming back, they will be going to school from the house,” he said, sounding serious.“And you think that will stop her? She will still be going to school.”“At least I will monitor her every move.” He was worried about Kiara's new friend, they came over yesterday for dinner, and because he was a boy, he thought it was dangerous, as he didn't want anyone to play her heart. I trusted Kiara, she was smart, and I knew no one could play her.“I won't let you do that.”“Love, you don't understand boys, they like to experiment and do funny things, I don't want that to happen to my daughters.”“Says a man with three sons.” I rolled m
~JESSICA~I struggled to open my eyes because of the little dim light that was foreign to my eyes. My room's curtain was black because I hated sun rays, so this was definitely not my room.“Stand by the window; she hates light!” I heard Clinton's voice, and I shot my eyes open. “Thank God you're awake, I was getting worried.” He ran to my side and took my hands into his. I looked at him, confused, before my eyes roamed to take in my surroundings.It was a small room, everything was white, and by the ceiling, I easily figured we were on a yacht. I sat up and looked at him, confused.
~JESSICA~The priest started the ceremony, and my eyes somehow found their way to the door. I knew no one could save me as I locked up the only person who could, but I still hoped he found a way.I didn't want to marry Accardo, Clinton was my husband, he will always be the man I love, and marrying another man was wrong. I knew this was for the best, so I blinked away the tears and looked back at the priest, who asked us to hold hands.“You are mine, no one will come and save you now, even if they try. My guards surround the church. They won't hesitate to shoot anyone who was not invited.” He grabbe
~JESSICA~“I'm sorry,” I ran my hand through my hair, not knowing how to defend myself."Sorry, cannot fix this, I'm so disappointed in you.” I didn't respond because what was there to say? I betrayed him, but only because I thought he cheated on me. “We have five kids, five kids, and you just went ahead and slept with another man?”“I thought you cheated on me.”“That is not an excuse, I have never cheated on you, and I never slept with anyone since I met you, but you—you keep betraying my love.” He sounded both angry and disappointed. That
“When do you want the delivery, ma’am?”“Now, I want it now, if you please.”“Alright, just say out your address, and it will be delivered to you within a few minutes,” she said, and I gave her the house address before I ended the call, just like magic Clinton appeared.“Who were you talking to?” he suspiciously asked, and I shook my head.“No one, hehe, did you get it?” “Yes, do you need anything else?” He asked, and I looked down. He had, like, ten packets of pads in his hands.“Why did you bring all this?” I laughed.“I didn't know which one you preferred, and you have like ten different brands, I didn't want you to send me away again,” he said, walking toward me."Okay, it's fine, j–just take them to the guest bathroom, I will be there,” I nervously said. I wanted him to be far away so I could go and receive the delivery.“Are you sure?”“Yes, I'm very sure, please.” I made a pitiful look, and he looked at me suspiciously before he spoke.“Can I get a kiss for being such a wonder
