Molly:I requested to see Kate’s grave today, since it may be the last time, I would ever set my foot here. Maya was a great person, but I would definitely not return to a place the bore so much pain in my body. Except if I badly wanted to see Kate.“Sure,” Farrell responded before turning over to the other side of the bed.He seemed tired so I didn’t want to bug him. With my hands placed on my chest, I took a deep breath then I stared at the ceiling blankly hoping that the sky would clear up quickly so that I can get on with my life.My prayers were answered because the sky became clear in no time, and Farrell opened his eyes. Then he planted a kiss on my head as usual, before getting out of bed to pee. I sat up, and waited for him to finish.“We should hurry up because the chopper would be prepared this minute, and I need to get back to work,” he said, and I feigned a smile.I know the world doesn’t revolve around me, but it would help if he doesn’t shove the fact that he had moved
Molly: Today was already a handful, but I decided to let a lot of things slide. I would have picked on Kate’s mum for being cruel to her, but I turned away, and paid my last respect to Kate before leaving. Maya too didn’t utter a word to her, because it would only aggravate the situation. We dropped Maya off after leaving her with words on encouragement. Then we headed back to our main house. As soon as the chopper landed, and I got out, the feeling of sadness swept through. I definitely needed therapy but I wasn’t going to give in to seeing Courtney. It would take the grace of God to not rip off her face during the first session. she caused me a lot of pain, and forgiving her wasn’t in my agenda yet. “What is it that I have to deal with now?” Farrell asked in a loud tone as I walked to my room. I wasn’t necessarily looking to have a fallout with him, I just wanted to be alone. In order to restructure my life, and survive, I had to condition my mind that what had happened was perma
Molly:When a chapter of life closes, another opens, and as for me I had one open chapter for almost a year. I still haven’t found out about Farrell and his past. This bugged me so much that I could no longer sit at a place. He had been away for several hours and I tried not to cloud my mind with it, because if I questioned him, he would always have an excuse. I wasn’t supposed to be at the forbidden wing, and it had locked rooms but the study was open, so I decided to go to it. Boredom was the culprit, and the only way to quench my incessant thoughts was getting my hands dirty in his secrets.After I had taken a bath, and eaten, I waited for Rose to leave then I walked to the forbidden wing, and made my way to the study. I opened it without hesitation, and the sight before me shocked me to my marrow. On the floor were littered books, which had some torn. Mere looking at the room you would think a very serious fight had occurred here, and it made me wonder if Farrell was responsible.
Molly:“I know that you do not want me here, but….” Courtney said but paused half way when she noticed I wasn’t Farrell. A wave of anger swept through me, as she backed away, allowing me step outside and shut the door behind me.“What gives you the authority to come to my house?” I asked, and she remained silent with her lips pressed against each other.It was difficult for me to hate someone totally but Courtney was different. This woman had caused me a lot of pain that I would often wonder if she was truly a doctor, because doctors are supposed to be the nicest but she was nothing close to that.“Look, I’m sorry for the last time. You hurt him so much, and it hurt me too. When you left, he was a mess, and I was only trying to protect him,” she said, and I scoffed, rolling my eyes.“Protect him?” I asked with crossed arms then I shook my head.“My husband doesn’t need protection! And even if he does, I will protect his heart!” I yelled with a trickle of tear running down my eyes.I h
Farrell:When Molly collapsed in my arms, I felt my world caving in. I made sure she ate properly, so she was definitely not starving, and all I could think of was the possibilities that she was poisoned.I lifted her up properly, and placed her on the bed. Then I took out my phone, and hurriedly called a doctor.“Please, I need you here as soon as possible!” I said with a heavy voice which had an echo of pain.“Is everything okay?” Courtney asked, rushing up to me with a worried look on her face.At the moment I was pissed at her and I felt like ripping her head off. This may be part of her problem, I mean Molly could have had a panic attack seeing Courtney, because this was like a cycle as she insinuated. She wanted peace, and I wanted that too. Courtney brought me peace but she was Molly’s nightmare.“Rose!” I yelled as I walked down the hallway, ignoring Courtney. I needed to know what she had given Molly today.“Farrell, pleas talk to me,” Courtney said, grabbing my hand and I pa
Molly:Farrell took my hand gently, and led me to the bathroom to pee. Even though he treated me in a sweet manner, I was anxious. I had just read of the ordeal Maria passed through, and I couldn't tell what he would do if the result was positive."Don't rush it. Just take your time to pee, and tell me if you are done," he said to me, putting a tiny cup in my hand, and kissing me on the cheek. Then he walked out of the bathroom, and shut the door. I looked at the tiny cup that I was given, and I sighed deeply. The urge to pee came in no time, and I dropped a generous amount in the cup before finishing off in the toilet. After that, I wiped myself and walked out of the bathroom.Farrell rushed up to me, and then he took the cup. I looked at him, trying to decipher the emotions that his body bore towards all these. I needed to know his next line of action but it was impossible. But his eagerness meant that I was either getting in trouble or getting praised, and then former seemed like
Molly:For the first time in a while I was glad that my fears were invalid. Farrell seemed like he enjoyed the pregnancy more than I did. He had already started making plans for the baby's room, and he spent less of his time at work.This made me forget his real personality. He was too good to be true. Today I decided to take a stroll around the house. When I got tired, I stopped by the indoor garden, and I sat down on one of the seats to continue with the book I had in my hand."Reading to the baby? I see," I heard Farrell say, and I looked up to see him shirtless, leaning by the door of the garden.Even though his face was a mess, it looked as bright as ever, and his clean shave gave his face a defined look. The glimmer in his eyes brought a sense of warmth, and I longed to get a kiss from his perfectly structured lips. I smiled at him, then I put the book away. He walked up to me, and planted a kiss on my neck. Then he kissed my lips, rubbing his hands on my belly which hadn't p
Farrell:Setting up a room for a toddler wasn’t a problem for me but the possibility that the toddler could be female was scary. I didn’t even know how to properly raise a male child not to talk of the opposite gender. Women love pink they said, but look at Paula, she has never been the conventional female, so I had no idea what this potential baby would like.My mind was shaken, and I was still scared that I wouldn’t fit in properly with this baby.“What are you doing?” Molly asked, and I turned to see her standing in her night gown, as radiant and glorious as ever.I walked up to her, and cupped her face in my hand then I kissed her forehead, earning a heartwarming chuckle from her.“You are so beautiful,” I said as I pulled away from her. Then she adjusted my tie by folding it out a little bit. After that she gave me a gentle pat on my chest which was accompanied by a smile.“So..” she said, looking at me and I kissed her cheek again.“Farrell, come on I’m serious. What is it that
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
