“What are we going to do now? He is not letting it rest, he will steal the b---,” I walked in on Willow and others talking about Ryker when they caught me walking in on them. They hurriedly shared a glance and then after a pause, Willow continued, “So, what about a baby shower?” she cheerfully clapped her hands and watched my face.
“That can rest, we have a bigger issue to deal with.” I knew they thought discussing it with me might get me stressed up but it wasn’t something I could ignore for so long. The wiser thing was to talk about it and then get a solution for it.
“We didn’t want to stress you out,” Willow murmured, lowering her face.
“I understand, but he won’t give us any time,” I replied, sitting down with Jamie, who, after meeting up with his niece should have enjoyed her time, but instead she was over here stressing over my issues.
“I am going to hire the best la
It's been two days and I have not received any more threats from Ryker. Everybody around me was trying their best to cheer me up, but things were looking bad at this point.I don't know what was going on with Ryker and by every passing minute, my brain kept hinting me that he was going to storm in with his lawyer and shove some kind of papers in my face."Just one more slice," Willow rolled her eyes as she tried to feed me another slice of apple. I was sitting on the couch in the living room, my eyes blankly zoned out in space when Willow caught my attention."I'm fine, Willow. I can't eat more." I intended to give her a weak smile, but then my brain couldn't process the information my heart sent it and I ended up murmuring with no emotions."Everything will be fine, you know." Willow put the plate on the table in front of us and checked her phone, "See this!" a bright smile covered her lips as she saw something on her phone screen, she switched it to me
"Willow!" I had to shake myself out of the trance, everyone around me was suffering because of me and I couldn't even defend them."Paul! I don't understand what is going on with you, but I would rather listen to them than you. You cannot come here, acting like you know anything about that happened between Ryker and me." I raised my voice, finally taking back the control.His posture suddenly softened as he explored around awkwardly."What is going on here?" we all turned around to the voice of Jamie, who had just decided to come back with Kellie from outside."Nothi---" Paul had only opened his mouth when Willow stopped crying and shared a quick glance with mother, I knew they were not the types to give up so soon."Your brother-in-law here thinks we are all manipulating Kathleen and Ryker is the only one suffering while Kathleen is not even eligible to be a mom." Willow lied and my mother nodded hard, agreeing with her."Wait, what did you
We all were headed back to our respective rooms after dining together when I passed by Jamie's room and my eyes caught her sight.She had eaten dinner before us because she said she was sleepy, but I found her awake and waiting for someone to pass by her room."You were waiting for me?" I knew what was happening, my voice snapped her out of her thoughts.She smiled very weakly and patted the spot beside her on the bed where she was perched at. I smiled back at her and joined her."What's going on Jamie?" I asked once I found her very uneasy and anxiously rubbing her hands together."You know, when I first met Roy, my heart instantly knew we were soul mates. Big term right? But it's true. Ever since then, whenever he would go out of the city for running errands for Irvin, my heart still felt the connection." her cuteness was next level, I couldn't help but smile at how passionately she spoke of Roy."That's so cute," I smiled her way, utterin
Every girl wants their marriage to be special, something memorable, but that wasn't the case on the day of my wedding. It wasn't a regular, happy marriage. We were going to get married in court, marrying a stranger would have been better than marrying a known devil. My heart cried inside, but I kept my calm and a smile on my face to make sure the others around me don't panic along. They have all gone through hell and back with me.It wasn't the only thing worrying me, I wanted Roy to be here. Mr. Parker did try to talk to Ryker to push the wedding a bit, but he straight up declined. Of course, he did.I wondered how he was going to behave with me after our marriage because imagine moving in with him alone. I had worn a black knee-length dress, everybody else also dressed up to celebrate the wedding in the form of a lunch afterward.We met up with Paul in the court, who was wearing a white suit and a smile on his face. Well, guess who was missing?"Where i
Jamie's POV:The wedding happened. Although it was deemed to be the saddest day for Kathleen and us, I still believed things would have been different if Roy was around. He had this fun personality that could light up even the broken lamp.Sadly, ever since he had left, the light from my life had begun to fade away. Nothing interested me anymore, it seemed as he took my smile away with him.With every passing minute, my body would feel this weird coldness around me."Why do you not dress up?" Paul had left Kellie here for her to spend some time with us and also because she gave me happiness.Kathleen was dead asleep in her bed, Willow and I were playing board games with Kellie."I don't feel like doing so these days," I gave her a smile and stole eyes from her. If she had met me when Roy was around, she would have been surprised by how cheerful I was."But why?" She asked. We all looked at the food tray hungrily that
Kathleen's POV:The next two days went by and Ryker didn't check up on me, the woman who he got married to, and the same woman who was carrying his unborn child that he was so worried about. I left my room to check up on Jamie, who had stopped eating from a day ago, she was turning into a completely different person. She didn't care about anything anymore.After she had received that text from Roy, she seemed to have lost herself."Hey!" She has been awfully silent in those previous days. The only person she would now talk to was Kellie, who has built a good connection with Jamie."I can't stop thinking about Roy." She uttered, leaning against the wall and folding her arms on her chest. It was true that ever since Roy left, he took Jamie's charms along. It seemed like she has grown mature in those few days of a departure with him."Did you talk to him after that night?" I questioned, I felt like it was all my mistake but Jamie kept
My heart was pounding hard in my chest until Roy, stupid Roy gasped."No! Please no." Jamie began crying loudly, holding her hand on her heart. "Please come back." She cried, sobbing madly and not knowing how to react.My body was shivering, Willow tightened her grip around my hand and bit her lower lip in sadness."I will baby, it's just a matter of few days," Roy said in a tired tone, wait, what? we all thought he was dying, what the hell just happened?"Roy?" Jamie stopped crying and questioned with a straight face. We all shared a glance and then stared down at the phone, what the hell just happened?"Yeah, baby." He replied from the other side, sounding alive and kicking."You are not dead?" she inquired, of course happy, but confused at the same time. We all shared glances. Mr. Parker, who had arrived a minute ago, shared a glance with Paul and they both began laughing but definitely covering their mouth so that nobody coul
It's been two weeks that my husband never got back to me or even let me aware of his whereabouts, it wasn't like I was complaining because I knew our last interactions had caused me stress."Is everything prepared?" My mother asked Willow, they were focused on my welcome party which we had delayed for a long time because of the stress going on with the situation between Roy and Irvin."Almost done, it will be the best frea*ing welcome party ever." Willow cheered, doubling checking the notepad to make sure all the preparations were done nicely.I was resting on the couch, my palms on my bump and gently rubbing it. We were all caught by surprise when a known face walked in from the door."Ryker!" my mother announced.He was in blue jeans and a black shirt, looking fresh. Seeing him made me miss a heartbeat, not because of how good-looking he was, but because somewhere inside my heart, I was scared of him."Get her stuff ready, I'm taking her h
