Farrell:After the session I had with Molly, I got dressed and then I had my luggage taken down to the car. While I was about to get into the car, I looked up to her window to see that she was peeping.A smile spread across my lips, then I got into the back seat, and leaned into the seat, throwing my head backwards.It was my loss, and I wasn't going to sugar coat it. I just hope she will heal after a month, and everything will be back to normal. I just had to keep myself occupied with old letters which hadn't been dispersed, and a month would run by.Pedro hit the road in no time, and I shut my eyes throughout until we got to the airport where my jet was parked. I could have easily gone with the helicopter, but I wanted more room. I needed to ease the stress from my body, and I had barely got rest from the whole alcohol episode.There were men on standby, waiting to receive. While I walked through the air stairs, they took my luggage.When I got in, I sat down on a comfortable seat a
Farrell:"Run along, and have your bath. Dinner will be ready in a few minutes, and you can have a huge meal," aunt Tabitha said, patting my back gently.I smiled at her then I made my way up the stairs. The memories of the coronation night struck me as I walked through the stairs. I did the worst thing by slapping my wife in public. In fact I empowered Courtney by doing that.No amount of apology could fix that and my family saw Molly as a huge mistake and burden to us after what happened.Standing in front of my room, I pulled it open and the nostalgia from that night hit me. I pulled my phone out of my pocket, and checked it but there was still no message from her. I didn't blame her one bit. She was hurt, and I didn't even know what to expect.I walked to the shower to take a bath, and after I did, I threw on my sweatpants, and a singlet. Then I checked my phone once more and there was still no message from my wife.Sighing deeply, I walked to the study. Turning on the light, I wa
Molly:I totally ignored Farrell the previous day, and this morning when I woke up I checked my phone but there was no text from him.Then I typed the words, GOOD MORNING, and sent it to him, hoping to get a reply.I pushed myself out of his bed, and I made my way to my room to get prepared for a boring and lazy day. There was obviously nothing to do at home but lay about and be lazy, or maybe read a book.Taking off my dress, I wrapped a towel around my body, and walked into the shower. I reminisced on the recent happenings, and as the droplets of water crashed on my body, the thought of the old study crossed my mind.I should explore it now that he is gone, I said to myself.Maybe this day wouldn't be wasteful after all. After taking a shower, I stepped out of the bathroom, and walked to my closet to get dressed.On getting to the closet, I heard my phone ring. My mind skipped a beat immediately as I thought of the possibilities that it was Farrell. I hurriedly left what I was doing
Molly:I got out of the car immediately, and the man followed me. This was going to be tough but I'd have to find a way to pull it off.He'd definitely be with me throughout the whole shopping spree. Taking a deep breath, I walked into the huge store after the large glass door slid open. I grabbed a cart, and then I began to walk down the Isles grabbing vegetables, and many things I didn't need. The man stood guard at the end of each aisle, and once I got to the next one, he was there. While I was there, my phone beeped. I took it out from my bag and it was a message from Paula. She was at the back of the store waiting.Just like Paula had asked me to, I took the cart to the checkout."Good day, ma'am," the beautiful black lady at the counter said to me, and I shot her a smile.I took out everything from my cart, and she began to check them. I took a quick glance at the guard, and I figured that I couldn't run just yet. So I waited patiently until the woman was done."That would be
Molly:"Paula, my sweet," the man said walking towards the car as Paula opened the door.She embraced him, and I got out of the car, waiting for them to be done."And who is your pretty friend?" He asked, and I smiled shyly."A colleague from work," she said, and then I shook the man's hand which he stretched for me."Theophilus," he said to me."Molly," I replied.They talked for a while and I surveyed the whole environment. This man was a freaking billionaire. His mansion stood tall, and inside the house he had a pet tiger which almost made me jump in fear, but then it was chained."He doesn't bite," Theophilus said, and I feigned a smile.Of course, they never bite until they actually devour someone, but not today Satan. Theophilus led us to the rooftop, where his helicopter was. There was already someone ready to take us to our destination, and boy was I glad that we wouldn't have to wait."Thank you for your help, Theo," Paula said, shaking hands with him."Molly," Theophilus ca
Molly:Paula and I checked into the hotel, and she paid for a double suite. Good thing we had our rooms to ourselves because I needed a lot of rest. "I need to shower but we have no clothes to wear," I said to Paula."Then we'll wear our clothes. Get to the store, buy clothes, and we'll be home. So, rest up, and throw on a robe," she said, and I sighed.I walked to my room. Turning on the light switch, the beautiful large king-sized bed came into view. I was tempted to Jump on it, and forget about taking a bath, but then I would only be uncomfortable.Quickly, I took off my clothes, and grabbed a towel from the closet. Wrapping myself in it, I walked to the bathroom to take a bath.After I was done showing, I threw on a robe, and then I set the temperature of the room to a suitable degree, and I threw myself on the bed. I slept off, forgetting that Farrell ever existed.******"Rise and shine!" I heard Paula's voice break through my ears. Then I forced my eyes open to see her face a
Molly:*WARNING: DO NOT READ IF YOU ARE HOMOPHOBIC. CONTAINS SEXUAL LGBTQ SCENE.When I saw this man I was stunned for a minute, until Paula walked back to us."Juan!" She called out, throwing herself on him.Juan was dark skinned with silky black hair and a defined mustache which sat beneath his nose. There was something about his black eyes— they were simply beautiful."I see you've met my friend," she said to him."Yes I have, and she failed to resist my charm," he said with a proud look on his face.This suddenly wiped off the thoughts about him, making me scrunch up my face in disgust."Well this is Molly, my good friend," Paula said to him. "Molly this is Juan," she added, and we both shook hands.I took my hands off him almost immediately, and I hoped he noticed. It wasn't right to judge people but then the first impression mattered and he looked like someone who would gloat over themself."Happy birthday, Juan," Paula said, and then she pulled out a check and handed it to him
Farrell:I have been busy since I arrived. For the past two days I haven't set my eyes on Greta. She never came to study after that day, and I didn't see her at the dinning either. Also Aunt, Tabitha was always the one to inform me when food was ready.A part of me felt she had been fired, but I decided not to think too much about it. But then there was something about Greta. I didn't view her in a romantic way, I was only attracted to her brain. After we talked I realized she was smart. She probably didn't have enough to further her education.Waking up this morning, I felt a little bit shaken and I felt the need to go for a walk. So I dressed up in my sweatpants, and hoodie then I put on some kicks. I took my phone with me too.Molly hadn't texted back, and I couldn't help but wonder how everything was going back home. I wish I could know but then I assumed things were great since I hadn't gotten a distressed call.The moment I stepped out of my room, I heard some comotion downstair
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

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
