Molly:Daniel seemed really nice, and I hoped I would get something out of what he gave me. I prayed my efforts wouldn't be in vain. The train stopped after an hour, and I boarded a cab to the airport.On my way to the airport, I tried reaching Farrell. I unblocked him, and called his number. His phone rang the first time, and there was no answer. The second time it went through, he picked, but before I could speak, I heard a female voice."Never call this line again," After this the person ended the call. At first I thought it was a joke but when I tried to call again, it wasn't going through, and this made me believe I had been blocked. It was fair if I was getting blocked by him, but the thought of him moving on with another woman seemed weird. I boarded my plane and tried not to think too much about what had happened. Everything would sort itself in nine or ten hours.********The flight landed at night, and I got off the plane then I boarded a taxi to Farrell's house. If he had
Molly:When I arrived at the hotel, I booked a single room then I checked in immediately. The room wasn't very extravagant. It had one bed which was normal in size, a tiny refrigerator. But I could boast that the bathroom was very clean, and the room too. That mattered more than size and luxury for me. I took off my clothes then I had a bath to wash away the stress embodied in me. After that I took out my laptop, and the drive which the man had given to me. I was torn in between being scared, and eager to see what it had. This was supposed to be the answer to my problems, and the evidence that Kate needed to survive.After much contemplation, I plugged the drive into my laptop, and when I opened it, I saw multiple files in it. I didn't know which to start with. I saw the video of Larry and I that night, but I didn't want to go through it, because it would only make me angry.Step by step, I began to go through other files that were available. Seeing videos of him and Kate fucking mad
Farrell:My number one rule was never to hit a woman but I doubt I will be able to keep that promise. Mere looking at Courtney, all I could think of was the different ways I could punish her."Leave!" I yelled at the man with us and he scurried away, shutting the door behind me.As soon as he left, I grabbed Courtney tight on the neck, and she fought tirelessly to get my hands off her."Give me one good reason why I shouldn't murder you and dump your body in the sea," I said as I watched her face being drained out of life.We spoke about Molly and how much I needed her, yet she found it useful to do away with Molly when I needed her. For the past month I felt insane and I was so close to being myself but she took it away. The worst part was that she was proud about it."I used to give this rubbish the benefit of doubts. I hated myself yesterday for viewing you sexually, because I know we can never be a thing but instead of being grateful you do the worst things," I said, and then I le
Molly:When I saw the message from Kate, I totally forgot to text Farrell. She sent a long paragraph that brought tears to my eyes. I hated myself the more I read the text, and I held my chest which felt really tight as though there wasn't enough air in the room."Ma'am are you okay?" The receptionist asked but I snubbed her. I kept staring at Kate's message wondering how she was able to pull off what she had done.It was a message stating that she was sorry about what happened. She explained why she put up an act and how Larry had mistreated her. What made my heart ache was the last paragraph."This might be the last message you'll ever get from me. I want you to be happy. Farrell loves you, and I hope you are home, and save in his arms,"She feigned a perfect relationship to take care of me. Everything about her had been about me. This was the second time she was trying to lose her life because of me, and I wasn't going to let that happen.The lady held onto my hand, and I shoved
Molly:When I saw Rose's lifeless body, my heart stopped for a moment. I was trying to make sense out of what I had seen. How could she have died with all the protection from Larry? Her body looked severely battered, and the fact it happened in Kate's apartment building was weird. I watched as the paramedic wheeled her lifeless body into the ambulance. My body stiffened at once, but I was brought back to life by the cold hands of the huge police officer grabbing me from behind."Are you out of your senses?" He yelled, and I stared at him while blinking.This was all too much to comprehend, and I needed a breath of air from all these people. Before he could say a thing, I was attacked by the flickering camera's of the paparazzi."Where is Kate?""Why did she murder Rose?"" Is this because of Larry?" The questions asked were so much, and their lights were blinding. I tried to shield myself with the bulk body of the police officer behind, even though I knew I was in bigger trouble.K
Farrell:"I'll leave my location on, incase you are coming to get me," When I got this text from Molly we had already landed. I boarded a cab, and I tried using her location to get to her. When I thought everything was going to be alright, I saw my wife all over the news on the big screens on display in the city. I couldn't read the headline but it seemed like a murder case. Deep down I wishedKate wasn't the victim. She looked terrified but she was under the care of a police officer. I was a bit calm until the whole place was clouded with tear gas."We should move faster!" I yelled at the driver. I needed to get there to save her, and seeing the look on her face made me more worried.The driver increased his speed, but he was nonchalant with driving. I needed the speed but I also needed to be alive to get to my destination. I began to yell at him and he wanted to retaliate but then Pedro pulled out a gun and pointed it at his neck. This made him scared, and he abruptly took his han
Molly:After a few minutes of driving, the taxi came to a halt in front of Larry's house. I was hesitant at first but then I mustered up courage. I got out of the car, and then I walked to the gate. Taking a deep breath I clicked the red button on the wall. A few minutes later, a man in uniform poked out his head, and looked at me. He had never seen me before because I have never been to Larry's house."Is there a problem ma'am?"he asked, and then I stared blankly for a while wondering if I was making the right decision.The whole house was big, and I knew that it would be difficult to get out once I was in."I work as an editor in the company, and I have something to give Mr. Faucher," I said to him, and then he glared at me deeply.My breathing increased and I wondered if I was ever going to get through."What's your name?" He asked, and I didn't twice before giving the name of an employee."Okay, just a moment," he said, and then he made a phone call while I bit my lips continousl
Farrell:Looking at my phone, I noticed that Molly had stopped moving. We were still about ten minutes away from her location, and even though Pedro was the one on the wheels, I felt uneasy. I wanted to grab the wheels from him or speed up the ride but I was completely helpless. The man who kept whining at the back made things worse."If you make me repeat myself one more fucking time, I promise to blow off that empty skull of yours!" I yelled, taking out my gun, and placing it in his face without looking back at him.At that moment he shut his mouth at once, and I remained that way with the gun."Pedro, drive faster!" I ordered, and he nodded.He stepped on the gas, and then he swerved around the whole city, honking really loud. It was hard maintaining a steady position with the gun, so the more we swerved, the more the owner of the car yelled. It was amusing because the gun had no bullets in it.The driver got rougher, and the moment we ran into a pothole, the gun flew out of my han
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
