Molly:"Where the hell did I leave those papers?" I heard Farrell say, and then he rummaged through the rack of books.I hitched my breath for a while, hoping he would hurry up and leave. I was in the least favorable position, and cobwebs got in my way, making me really uncomfortable.Suddenly, I heard something fall."Fuck!" I heard him growl.At that moment, I heard the door open. Then I heard his voice outside in the hallway. I tried to steady my breath, but then I saw a huge spider in front of me, making me yelp in fear. Within the twinkle of an eye, I jumped out of the back of the cupboard. Then I made my way to the door when I saw a trickle of blood on the ground. This meant that Farrell had cut himself.A lot of books had fallen from a shelf. I wondered what must have cut him, but then I remembered he could be back any moment.I opened the door quietly, then I peeked a bit to survey the hallway. When I saw that the coast was clear, I moved out and then I increased my pace. Th
Molly:I went through the hallway that led to the back door. Pulling the door open, I saw that there was no security. The universe was finally aligning with me. I ran to the little gate, and the moment I pulled it open, I heard someone yell."You can't do that!" I turned back to see one of the men by the door. Without thinking twice, I ran out, and slammed the metallic gate. Then I ran down the street, and flagged the first taxi down."Move, please!" I yelled as soon as I got in.As soon as the man zoomed off, I saw Farrell's men standing in the street that led outside the house. I sunk back into the taxi. Then I gave the man the address, and he drove to the venue.When I got down, I looked around to be sure that I wasn't followed. I figured it would be difficult for the guards to go back, get a car and still catch up with us.After I paid the man,I walked into the cafe. The moment the bell on the door jingled, Paula looked back at me. A smile formed on her face, and I returned it ba
Farrell:I knew the city was evaded with the Dark Mambas. They were probably keeping tabs on me from aftar which was good, because they dare not interrupt in real life. Keeping out for them was all I could do at the moment. At least they were trying to take me out, and not one of my family members, except Molly of course. But it would be easier to pass a camel through a needle's eye than to get to Molly."I'm off," I said to Molly who was still wrapped up in bed. Then I kissed her forehead.I wanted some action last night, but she got her period early.When I was about to leave, she pulled her eyes open, and pulled me closer. She kissed me softly on my lips before she started to kiss my cheeks."I love you," she muttered in her crackly morning voice."I love you too," I said to her, then I stood up to leave.One thing I had achieved was selling off the lands of the Elcardo's, and boy was I glad. If the Dark Mambas weren't careful then they would suffer the same fate as the Elcardo's.
Farrell:Being angry at Molly was an understatement. It seemed like she was hard of hearing, and no matter how much I tried to protect her, I was always the wrong person.Taking out my phone, I put a call across to an old friend, Lorenzo."What did I do to warrant this special call on a very pleasant afternoon?" He asked, and I forced a short laugh.Lorenzo was a part of my childhood, but we weren't close friends at that time. In fact we were solar opposites. He liked Courtney at one time, and now it totally made sense why it felt like we were at loggerheads. Courtney probably made it known to him that she was in love with me, leaving me out of the whole picture."I need men, Lorenzo," I said immediately, trying to avoid going round in circles."Mmh… Okay," he said dryly."I need them immediately. I would pay for anything, send my jet over to Mexico. Anything you want!" I said.The desperation in my tone was evident no matter how much I tried to hide it. At this point I didn't care if
Farrell:As soon as I stepped out of Molly's room, I took out her key from my bunch then I locked the room. That would keep her from leaving, except she knows how to jump down from a storey building.I marched downstairs to meet Lorenzo."Carlo, you won't introduce me to your…" he said, stroking his beard."My wife," I said with a straight face.Then he raised a brow. He was one of many people who didn't know that I had remarried."Are you married again?" He asked."Yes it happened, and I don't want to talk about it," I said to him while I walked towards my car."Sure," he said."Let's go, I need to make a stop at Paula's," I said to him."I need two men at Paula's place," I said to him.Then he beckoned on two of the men with him, and they got into the truck, and we zoomed off.******Shortly after, I arrived at the house I bought Paula. It was a small but classy duplex. I figured she wouldn't need much of a house as someone that migrated a lot.When Pedro stopped in front of the dri
Molly:I knew crying wouldn't fix anything, so instead of crying, I lay on my bed waiting for Farrell to return.He returned very late, but then he never came to my room. I slept alone through the whole night until the next day.I was woken up this morning by the sound of my room being unlocked. Opening my eyes, I pushed open my eyes only to see Rose standing in the room with a tray of food in her hand."Your breakfast ma'am," she said to me, and then she kept the food on the table."Let me know if you'll need anything else," she said,and then I shook my head.This was madness, and I feared that Farrell was about to lock me up in this room, but I chose to think otherwise.I walked to the bathroom to freshen up. After brushing, I took a bath, and I wrapped towels around my body after cleaning it. The moment I stepped out, I saw Farrell in my room."I see your food has arrived," he said, and then I looked at him with my brows creased.I knew the next thing he was about to say, and my h
Farrell:Seeing Molly black out made me weak to my knees, and I freaked out until the doctor arrived. This would have been a good time to call Courtney but we hadn't spoken since the incident, and I had been the one who had refused to take her calls."It appears your wife has been starving for quite a while and she is on her period too," he said, and then I felt a surge of rage.I wasn't supposed to get angry at her, but then there was no way I couldn't. She made life almost unbearable for me as the days went by and at the moment I was really tired. I had no clue on what I was supposed to do with this information."Is she going to be alright?" I asked and before he could answer, Molly began to cough. She pulled her eyes open, and she stared at me while holding her forehead with her palm."She is awake, and she needs some food," he said."Do whatever you have to do," I said to the doctor, and then I walked away in anger.She definitely hated me very much because if she didn't then she
Farrell:I had a lot to drink for the day, and I didn't stop. While I drank I reminisced on my past life, but when the alcohol kicked in, I totally forgot about everything.Getting a little tipsy, I decided to rest, but then my phone rang in the moment. Lazily picking my phone from the table, I saw that Lorenzo was the caller."Hello," I said with a drawl."I think I found something. Meet me at Charlie's Anjels," he said, and he ended the call.Groaning deeply, I pushed myself up from where I sat. I managed to push myself out of the office and to the elevator. Letting Lorenzo see me this drink was something I didn't want. Even though he would try to offer help to me, I didn't want it.I was a one man army, and I could handle my problems without anyone's help, and that was what I was going to do.Finally, I made downstairs. I got into my car, and I drove off immediately.*******The sky was almost dark by the time I got to the bar. When I parked my car and got down, I dipped my hand in
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. I am a final year student and my course is not an easy one, plus my exams are near. 2. This story has only one chapter remaining actually, and I have been editing it ahead of completion.

I would give you all the opportunity to choose your preferred genre, and I will get to work. I love you all for giving my first story this kind of opportunity, and I can never thank you enough. I'm really sorry for my shortcomings. please if you see this, don't forget to comment with your preferred genre. Thank you.
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
