Molly:Grabbing onto Kate's body, I held back my tears which made my heart heavy. She patted my back gently. When I pulled away, she held my hands."Let's go home, so you can get some rest, and we will talk," she said, and then I nodded.She took my luggage, then she pulled open the trunk of her car. Putting the luggage in it, she shut the trunk. We walked to the front of the car, and we got in then she drove off."You'll be fine," Kate said, looking at me with a smile hung on her face, and her large eyes getting in the way.That was Kate. She was always optimistic about every situation, and I'm glad to be around her.Taking a deep breath, I leaned back on the seat while Kate drove to her apartment.Though out the drive I was lost in thought, I couldn't help but wonder if Farrell had woken up, and also what his reaction would be."We are here," Kate announced, and I stepped out of my thoughts.Looking around the parking lot, I could see a good number of cars parked around, and a huge
Molly:After a few minutes of resting, I stood up from the bed and unboxed my luggage. Then I began to pull out my clothes when Kate knocked on the door."Hey, I made some french toast," she said as she walked in with freshly prepared toast, and a jar of milk.My stomach rumbled at that instant, and I sat down on the bed while she placed the food on the table in the room.Pulling it close to me, she sat close to me. I stood up immediately, and went to the restroom to wash my hands. While the warm droplets of water crashed onto my hands, I stared into the mirror, seeing how terrible I looked."I need to go to a salon after this," I said to Kate."You can come with me. We'll get your hair washed, and taken care of," she said, and I shot her a smile.Sitting down on the bed, I pulled out a slice of toast while Kate poured some milk for me into the glass.I took a bite from the toast, and my phone began to ring. Dropping the toast on the plate, I reached for my phone which was on the bed.
Molly:It was Monday morning, and the day for the interview in the writing firm. It was for the role of an editor. I used to work part time as an editor online for novel platforms.I was standing in front of the mirror, picking out the dress that would fit the occasion."Molly!" I heard Kate scream my name from across the hallway.As soon as she pulled the door to my room open, I threw the dresses into the wardrobe which was nearby."Hey," I said to her with a smile, hoping she wouldn't suspect a thing.She gave me a look with one eyebrow raised, and I smiled at her."I made breakfast, and…""I would like to go for a walk," I said immediately. "Alone!" I added when I noticed she was about to say something."Uh… okay, I'll save your food for later," she said."Thank you," I replied with a smile on my face.Then she turned to leave, and I heaved a sigh of relief. Deep down, I knew that she must have noticed how weird I was acting. She probably didn't want to say anything yet.After she
Molly:"My name is Molly…""Well, you are the first in line, and I'm quite busy, so I'll have my secretary give you a quick test, and if you score above eighty percent then you'll get the job," he said before I could finish.For a moment, I was lost in thought. My mind focused on his beautiful lips. "Am I clear?" He asked in a louder voice, jolting me out of my thoughts."Yes," I replied, hoping I could recall everything he had said.I wanted to ask him to repeat himself, but I figured more directions would be given on what I was supposed to do."Sit," he said to me, and then I walked further to his table.I pulled out one of the seats, and I sat down, while he made a call to his secretary. He said something briefly to her before he ended the call.After that, he continued with what he was doing. I stared at his hands, and whatever he was scribbling. Someone knocked on the door a few minutes later, and I guessed it was the secretary."Come in," he said in his sexy husky tone, and th
Molly:After my encounter with the new boss, I hurried out of his office and into the hallway.Walking through the hallway, I bumped into his hot headed secretary."So.. how did it go?" She asked with a smile on her face.Mere looking at her made me disgusted, and I wanted to smack her badly. She was probably having an affair with this man. That would explain why she wanted me out of his life so bad."What good is it to you if I have the job or not?" I asked, and then she let out a short laughter."Everything you do here goes through me, and it would be nice if you spoke to me with respect," she said, and I hissed.I brushed shoulders with her, and made my way to the elevator. I already had the job so there was nothing she could do, and too bad her boss likes me too.As the elevator made a stop at the ground floor, I stepped out, remembering I had left Kate hanging earlier on.I took out my phone, and placed a call across to her, but she didn't answer.She must be busy, I said to myse
Molly:I waited for Kate to return from work while I tried to pick out the best outfit I could possibly wear. I did want to overshadow her dressing, so I decided to be modest.After a while of searching, I settled for a classy black gown which wasn't too short, and it was flared too.At that very moment, I heard the sound of keys on the door of the apartment. Knowing it was Kate, I walked out of tht room to greet her with a wide grin but she didn't seem in the mood. Her face was fallen and tired."Molly I need to take a bath, because Rye be here any minute," she said, and then she dashed into the hallway.I totally understood but I couldn't help but notice the fact we were slowly drifting apart. We had grown so much in a few months, and it hurt a bit. Being put in the family way wasn't something I wanted or expected too soon."About your job, we'll talk about it when I'm done or over dinner, and I'm sure he'll want to listen to it too!" She yelled, and then I forced a smile on my face
Molly:Seeing Cassie's brother, Mich, made my jaw drop in shock. This couldn't be happening and I was definitely losing my mind. First of all Larry was an asshole, and now they were really good friends? This was a walking red flag."Hello. I think we may have met some time, and…" "Doesn't ring a bell," I said, cutting him off.The memories of that day began to flood in, and the way Farrell tortured him made my heart pound as I recalled it. He disrespected me even though I was on his side. That is after being a dick head, and trying to rape me. His face was fucking disgusting, and I wondered if I would get through this night."Everyone this is Michael, my friend way back in college, and Michael this is my baby, Kate, and her friend, Molly," Larry said to Mich who has a huge grin on his face.All I prayed for was the night not to get any worse. Being with these two had to be the limit, and the fact Mich was quiet seemed like he was sorry about what he had done earlier.A waiter was cal
Molly:"I will not stand here, and listene to you, and my marriage is fine!" I said, gritting my teeth, and walking back inside the restaurant without him.When I walked in, my eye locked with Kate's. It was like she understood my predicament, so she grabbed Larry's hand, and they both stood up."We should get going, tomorrow is going to be a long day for all of us," Kate said, and Larry agreed by nodding his head.I was doomed, and mere thinking of tomorrow made me question my choices. Larry and Kate walked out of the restaurant while I followed the both of them closely behind until we got outside."We should call it a night," Larry said to Mich, and they shook hands, and hugged a bit.I walked to the car while these things were happening, and the door was opened up the chaffeur. When I got in, I resisited the urge to bang the door. I pulled it shut quietly, and I waited for Larry and Kate. Ass soon as they got in, the driver left for the apartment.*****A few moments later we made
Molly: I sat on the terrace, taking in the breathtaking scenery, from swaying trees to flocks of chirping birds. Everything was lovely, and it gave me a warm feeling in my chest. I reflected on my life five years ago with my eyes closed. I could have sworn I made the wrong decision with Farrell that night, but the opposite has been true. Everything went swimmingly, except for the fact that my mother died without recognizing me. Rest in peace, sweet soul. But I am grateful for that night at the club and whatever made him magically attracted to me. I was still trying to enjoy the moment when Corduroy let out a piercing scream. I blinked open my eyes and sighed heavily. How could I have forgotten the most exciting, yet stressful, part? Being a mother! “Mummy!”Corduroy called out in a shaky voice, forcing me to stand. I walked out onto the terrace and into the penthouse. Corduroy pushed the door open before I could reach for it, and he looked up at me with teary eyes. As he cried, I
This is me releasing a sincere apology for my readers, and I have a good reason for not updating. 1. I have been sick for a while, and this has been due to stress, and pressure.

Molly:*Beginning of flashback*"I'm hungry, and my tummy hurts," I said to Andrew who had just gotten back from work. He signed and made his way up the stairs, brushing shoulders with me."Foolish child," he said, and I muttered a "God bless you,"I didn't think he would hear me, but before I could tell, he yanked me by my hair and flung me on the wall."If your mother won't teach you how to behave then I'll do that. It's my duty as your stepfather to teach you how to respect your elders," he said, and I scoffed.He slapped my cheek, and then pushed me down on the ground. After which he kicked me on my stomach. Then he crouched down close to me, and pressed hard on my jaw."Remember, you can't say a word to your mother if you want her to live," he said to me, and left while I stayed on the cold floor in pain, sobbing silently.My mother usually returned late because she ran her business from morning until late at night. She did all this because Andrew couldn't provide adequately for
Molly:At first I was dumbfounded when Farrell said those words. I couldn't believe it was finally going to happen. I felt weird for a moment, and I reached out to him when he turned to leave. I walked in front of him, and held his face then looked him in the eyes."You don't have to do this, and…""I have decided to let go of the past, and that is the only way that this would work," he said. "I love you Molly, and I want us to work," he added, and then he kissed my lips briefly, before taking my hand.As we walked down the hallway that led to the room, my heart thumped very fast. I feared what I would see and at the same time I was curious.I felt an in rush of air which left my body with goosebumps as we came to a halt in front of a door. He took out the keys from his pocket, and unlocked the door. As he opened it, I took in a deep breath, and shut my eyes. Then I walked in, and opened my eyes to see a crisp bedroom.At first I was in awe at what I had seen. My room was nothing comp
Molly:My body trembled in fear as I felt Lola's tiny hands hold mine. I was blind folded so I couldn't see her but I knew that something terrible was going on. She sobbed silently, and I placed her head on my lap."Don't cry, we will be fine," I said to her trying to hush her, but she wouldn't stop."Will mummy die?" She asked, and I felt my heart crumble in multiple pieces.Having to accept that your parents were evil hit different, but then she had to be grateful that Courtney wasn't her real mum. Well she didn't know this yet so it was understandable that she would cry over what was going on."Mummy will be fine, and your uncle will save her," I lied even after I had heard the gunshot, and Courtney who was shrieking in pain.This child was going to suffer a lot of trauma, but I promised myself to take good care of her, because the only place close to home would be Farrell's house, and I wasn't sure he was stable.The door of the room opened after a while, and I heard someone appro
Farrell:When I got a hold of the gun, I smacked Courtney gently on the face and she fell to the ground then I put the gun in my pocket, grabbed Lola and walked towards the room I heard Molly's voice.Before I could get to it, Courtney jumped on my back, and grabbed hard on my neck. Her hands were obviously weak, and watching her struggle would have been funny in a different scenario."Can't you see I'm trying to save you!" She yelled, and I yanked her off my back.I pushed Lola into the room."Farrell," Molly called out from where she sat with blind folds but I didn't respond, I shut the door, and faced Courtney.The fact she kept acting as if I was in danger and needed help from her made me angry. There was definitely no amount of help that she could offer me at this point."Save me from what? You had one job but each time you were around, you only made me feel worse. I can't believe I failed to realise it until now," "Ingrate!" She scoffed, and then she stood up."Do you know how
Farrell:"Courtney what is…" I was about to complete my question when I looked away from Lola to see Courtney holding a gun.I became alarmed at once, and I tapped my pocket to see that my gun was gone. I turned around to see if there was anyone behind, and I realized Courtney was actually pointing the gun at me."Come here, Lola," she said, and then Lola shook her head, holding right on my neck.Deep down I wished I could handle the situation better but then I knew that the only way to think properly was to hand Lola over. Lola screamed in fear asI put down at once. "You'll be fine," I said to her as I pushed her over to Courtney who looked blood thirsty. I couldn't understand what was going on, and I didn't want to get violent yet. This had to be a joke because there was no way she would openly threaten Lola with a gun. She loved Lola so much."This has got to be a joke right?" I asked, Courtney and she laughed briefly then she placed her hand firmly on the trigger."Does it look
Farrell:"Maria!" I screamed, and then I jerked up at once. I looked around to see that I was lying on Maria's bed.The sun had just risen, and I guessed I had slept walk once more but this time it was for a good cause. I stood up from the bed,and walked to her dresser where her combs and everything were still perfectly laid out. I picked one of them, and I found a few strands of her hair on them. "You were really here," I muttered, running my hand on the comb. Suddenly a very gentle breeze swept by, giving me a brief chilly feel that had the hairs on my body standing, and goosebumps sprouting out of my body."Rest in peace, my love," I said with a deep sigh.I felt an inrush of emotions as I did when I met her, but this time I wasn't angry. It felt nice knowing she was in a good place, and all that could have been was terrible so I was grateful that it never happened.They said you couldn't have your cake, and eat it so I took a deep breath, shoving off the emotions that engulfed
Farrell:After so much contemplation, I grabbed the keys to Maria's room. I made up my mind to keep an open mind. I had to heal from this trauma, or else I would pass it over to my innocent kids who were on the way.When I left my room, I noticed how late it was. Molly crossed my mind, and I hope deep down that she could hold on a little longer until I figured myself out. Quietly, I walked through the long hallway that led to her room. I placed my ear on the door opposite which was were the old lady stayed. I heard her giggle to herself as usual, and I turned around to face Maria's door.I walked to the door, inserted the key, and pulled it open. To my greatest surprise he lights were on, and I heard the shower running."What the?" I questioned myself, slamming the door, and rushing to the bathroom to turn off the shower.The thought that Molly just have been here got me annoyed a bit but then I tried to push it away. I had to push off every little hint of anger. I began to convince
