I silently followed Scarlett as she made her way to her apartment along with the three more girls. The girls sniggered and tittle tattle while I was psyched up in my head to focus on my work only. I can't waste a minute of my life.My brother was my only family left and I was his only hope. My father died as his heart couldn't put up with the betrayal my mother bestowed upon him by running away with her co-worker and that left me and my brother alone. He was my only family, I knew I must do it for him. I knew I had to do anything for him.While we walked I stole a quick glance at everyone's outfit; splendid. I looked like a walking trash among them with the old jeans and a baggy sweater from years ago. Since I couldn't do anything about it, I kept my back upright and elected to rely on my confidence and hard work since they were the my only things in my possession.''Okay, girls these are yo
''I'm sorry I'm late.'' I rushed inside, thirty minutes tardy yet tripping on my way inside. My long blond hair was wet and I was in my gray yoga pants and black Nike crop top. I was running out of breath as I reached the terrace where they were working out that day. The cold breeze caressing my skin tremored me into scrunching myself together to warm myself while my eyes picked at them working out.''Don't enter.'' I ceased my foot in midway through entering the terrace at a loud grunt from Ryker. His response knocked me for six. I hadn't stepped in from that glass door yet and he voiced, not even bothering to look at me. His vast back was facing me as I stared at him in surprise.''I'm so sorry, my alarm didn't go off.'' I lied bluntly, I had to give an excuse to gently stroke his ego. This job was important for me to get the amount that could pay my brother's hospital bills and all the classes I have to take for the job were mandatory. Now that I've alre
Once I walked out of their apartment someone clobbered her shoulder against mine. The excruciating pain hindered my movement and I took a step back to look at the person's face: Willow.Obviously, it has to be her. I had seen this look on her face every time I came into her sight."He was right, you shouldn't be acting like a queen. There are certain rules and regulations you must follow." Willow in her smooth accent and sassy attitude muttered. It was the battling of her eyelashes for me that made me cringe. She kept rolling her eyes and passing these diva vibes. The other two girls just silently stood by her side like obedient guards."Yeah! You are right." I was not in a position to start a fight again. All I wanted at that moment was to just walk with the flow and remain a low profile for at least a few hours."You should burn some fat too." As I was about to leave, I heard her passing a gibe at me. I halted on my pace, her com
Well, now that they had enough fun on my behalf, it was my time to stand up for myself.''I believe in simplicity, I wear what I feel comfortable in, not in what others feel comfortable seeing me in,'' I replied and slowly pushed my hair back from my right shoulder.Of course, I couldn't say, I'm lying because I can't afford a designer dress which was okay as the reason I chose to work in a boutique was to earn in the first place. If I was rich enough to afford designer dresses, I would have never taken this job.I sensed not just the girls, but Ryker stared at me for a moment too, even when I swirled my head back at them, he was still looking at me. He was zoned out in some deep thoughts and I was just an object where his eyes were stuck upon.''Yeah, but sweetie, we sell clothes. I would want my workers to look pleasing enough for the customers to not only spare glances at them but also compliment your choice.'' Scarlet, being a fashio
I was ready to listen to Ryker. But his response was something I didn't expect."Kathleen, I'm sorry to hear that." He continued, keeping his eyes on me. Looking him in the eye gave me shivers down my spine.It seemed as his eyes would only focus at one point and every other thing disappeared from his surrounding, this is how intense his gaze was.His stare was always intense, "and Willow, if you can't understand the meaning of her simple sentence, then how do you aim at understanding fashion?" He shook his head at her lack of empathy towards others. His glare made her squirm in discomfort and focus on her fingers.Ryker didn’t bid his time to hang onto what she had to add and began ingesting his food. Scarlet bowed her head down in her plate, cognizing her boyfriend went totally against everyone, she looked very distracted, and honestly speaking, I didn't expe
"Oh my God! Oh my God!" I panicked and who wouldn't? He was standing with his back facing me, an unclothed back. I saw the crack and that cracked my head.I heard his scream but I had quickly closed my eyes by placing my palm on my eyes. I was murmuring random things in hesitation. Thankfully, I didn't see his frontal part, but damn, my heart was racing in my chest."What the hell are you doing here?" He yelled, I felt like he was facing me now but my eyes were closed. Not uttering a sin
The issue wasn't the contract alone. I had all the hospital bills and my previous job contracts in that file too. There was also this one name written on a piece of paper that could end my whole life if it got exposed. I thought it was easy to keep files together and whenever I need one I would just pull out that one. Never in a million years, I thought I would drop it in his room. If he sees my files, I'm doomed. If anybody sees the files, I will have to run away from this place as well.

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
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
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
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
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
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
"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
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
