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:When I got out of bed, I hurriedly took a shower then I wore a corporate fit before stepping out. Kate wasn't awake yet, so I didn't bother telling her. I dashed out of the apartment and found my way to the street where I flagged down a taxi.A few minutes later the taxi came to a halt in front of the company building. I took a deep breath before walking through the siding doors, and my day started badly immediately. The first face I met was that of the secretary."I see you made it to work in time and you have escaped getting fired on your first day," she said, and I did nothing but smile.Deep down I wanted to smack her face, and strangle her with the bowtie which she had on her neck. It was ridiculous, and it had nothing to do with her outfit but since she was a narcissist she would definitely not listen to anyone."Well, I'm here to direct you to your new office," she said, and I followed her.The receptionist was around, so I waved to her before getting into the elevator.
Farrell:"Who made this meal? Why does it have no taste? It's extremely bland!" I yelled, startling the butlers.Everything felt different since Molly left, and I hadn't been able to eat properly. I knew I needed help, but I had to try to hold myself apart. I hadn't known her for a year but my life felt like it was ripping apart without her beside me."I said, who made this meal?" I asked again, and then a maid rushed out from the kitchen.When I looked at her I saw that it was Rose. My anger heightened, and I knocked the food out of the table. "Is there anything you can do properly for once?" I asked, gritting my teeth.She was the one who let Molly leave without my permission, and it wasn't too hard to despise her. Molly loved her but she had never really served her purpose since I assigned her to Molly."Clear this mess up!" I yelled, and then I stood up, grabbing my coat from the seat I left it, I marched to the front door.Pedro and my men were waiting but I didn't want to see t
Farrell:When I got to work, I walked straight to my office with my food. I barely had anything to do formally. All I did was conquer territories, and I had silenced my enemies, and I had no one's left. Maybe if they were still alive I wouldn't find it difficult to move on.I sat down on my swivel seat, and then I placed the plate of food in front of me. When I opened the plate, I was hit by the enticing smell of the freshly prepared spaghetti. I began to eat immediately, and in no time I finished with it. When I was done, I wrapped the empty plate, and neatly put it away in the bin. The moment I sat down on my seat, someone knocked on my door."Who is that?" I asked, setting a neutral expression on my face."You have a visitor, sir, and…." I heard my secretary say, but then I cut her short before she could finish."Let them in," I replied.Then I reached for my drawer to make sure my gun was there. I didn't make an appointment with anyone, so I had to be prepared.Shortly the door t
Farrell:I spoke too soon about my enemies. You can't really get rid of them that easily, and I was foolish to think I had done that.The more I stared at the image of Lorenzo's battered body on my, the more my blood boiled. I opened the voice message."I heard your wife is out of town, we will find her but first watch your back and that of your loved ones in town," The sound of confidence in this man's tone hit a nerve or two, and due to the fact I was having a boil down of emotions, I smashed my phone in my car. The screen shattered in multiple pieces but it wasn't my business still. I was furious, and I was stranded too.I picked the phone to see that the screen was bleeding, and I could barely see anything."Fuck," I groaned, and then I marched back into the building.I stood by the door and surveyed the environment which consisted of my workers who were either cowered up at a corner or still on the ground. Their condition bothered me but it wasn't my tip priority, because I nee
Molly:I know I said I was doing okay but I wasn't. My boss is a creep, and there was a possibility I was in potential danger. It had to be Mich, because he is probably the only one that knows my whereabouts.Who am I kidding? The mafia had eyes everywhere."Fuck!" I groaned out loud, forgetting I was with a client.He looked at me, and then I folded my lips the moment I realised what I had done. With the look of things I was definitely going to get in trouble real soon."It's okay to curse a little. I mean if the world was a great place then there'll be no need for that," he said.He was an average American man with a glasses. There was nothing distinct about his features. His hair was blonde, and he had a strange looking mole by his left nose. He wouldn't be sitting here if the chief editor cared to do his job. This was my second day of work, and I haven't seen a trace of him. Something tells me that he already knew I would be here, hence he didn't bother to come."So, moving on to
Farrell:When I got home, I walked to my room, and slammed the door so hard that one would think the hinges would fall off. It was happening once more, and I was alone once more. I had shut everyone away from my life.Take a deep breath, I said to myself while pacing around in the room. There was no denial that I had gone so soft, and I knew I had to brace myself first before I could face them, but the feeling of loneliness clouded my mind once more, and one thing lead to another.My mind joggled back to the moment I lost my wife. FLASH BACK:“You need to get the fuck out of here!” I yelled at Maria, who clutched the hand of Roy our one year old son. Roy had the prettiest eyes, and he was fast asleep without a single care of the cruel world, while I lay on the floor with my body perforated with bullets.“I cannot leave you, and I will not leave you. Come on, there is a shop over then, and..” Before she could finish, we heard another round of bullets.Maria acted foolishly out of love
Farrell:I marched out of the room, leaving Courtney behind. Nothing made sense anymore, and I needed to escape from my ugly reality. While Courtney was in the room, I stood on the long empty hallway with one hand resting on the door, and the other hand on my waist.Without much contemplation, I left, and I marched into Maria's study. I reserved a room just for her because she loved books a lot. Walking into the room felt different in a bad way. My heart was heavy, and I was angry at the same time. I had never really forgiven her for her death. We could have had other babies."Fuck you!" I yelled, knocking down the books on the table. Then I slammed my hand so hard on the table, causing a dent on it. My hand tingled a little, but I didn't care.For years I had preserved everything she had. Her room was taken care of daily like she would return someday, and all her instruments were preserved. Sometimes I wonder if she looked down at me, and if she did I wonder how she feels. Everythin
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
