Felix POVThe only job I have managed to acquire so far is a security guard. Actually, it was better than being totally jobless. It did not pay me much, but I managed to pay all my expenses and also remained with a few cash. I was also happy because where I was working now it was only a few blocks from where Laura lived. So I know it will be easy to find her. I wanted to see her so badly, and I will do anything for me to be with her once more. I don't care if she has a boyfriend. * * * * * * * * * * Just like the usual days, I get myself ready for work. I was not living far away from where I was working, so I usually walked, and I was used to it already. I did not like the job at all because it was a must to wear a uniform, but there was nothing I could do about it. It was better if I got used to it because it is the same job that kept me going. I get out of my humble house and start heading to work. Where I lived is where poor people lived. There, life was somehow cheap because
Stephen's mark POV.It's now one-week, into my relationship with Sarah, I am so happy with her. We have met thrice now, and it was always so beautiful around her. She even made me quite going to the club and was now going home a little early. I was dying to see her again. It is too bad that I am already at home. I could have arranged for us to meet, but it's late already, and I wanted to avoid disturbing her. I decided to see her in the morning. Since I could not see her tonight, it did not mean that I was unable to talk to her. I took out my phone and I text her. I was unable to call her, Susan was here, and I did not want her to find out that I had a relationship with another woman. It will break her, and I did not want her to feel that way.“Darling. I miss you.” I type the text message and I send it to her with a smile on my face. All I wanted was to be with her all the time. I just hope that I will divorce Susan soon, so I will have the freedom to do whatever I want with my new
Sarah's POV.I had already prepared myself, and I was only waiting for Steve to come pick me up. He was taking forever to be here. I remember waking up so early just to prepare myself for him, and now he was not showing up, I felt so mad at him.I know I don't love him, I just love his money, and I will do anything just to get his money. I mean, that is why I am doing all his, just for the money and not Steve. “Girl, where are you going this early morning.” Clara asks me immediately she wakes up. “I have a morning date with Steve. He wants to see me before he goes off to work. That is why I am dressed up. But he is taking forever to reach here, and I am losing my patience already.” I say.“Relax, girl, I am sure he will be here any minute now. You are so lucky, and I am beginning to get envious.” She says as she winks at me.“What?, it's not like we are a nice couple. I don't love him. Even one bit. I only love his money and the moment I have what I want from him, I will surely leav
Steve POVIt's so sad to learn that Sarah has no home of her own and that a friend has accommodated her in her house. I had so much money yet my girlfriend was homeless. I just could not allow her to continue living with her friend. I have to find her somewhere comfortable to live. I was so lucky that I was with her. She cared so much for me. Just like now, she had served me tea, which she prepared with so much love. I will take perfect care of her and I will never allow her to slip from my fingers because she is mine forever.“Darling, let me go now. I have meetings today, you know, and I would rather not keep the investors waiting.” I say as I get off the table.“I understand darling. I will miss you so much today.” She says.“I will miss you more. Take good care of yourself for me. And one more thing, thank you for the tea. It was delicious, I enjoyed so much.” I say as I kiss her cute sweet lips.“Thank you. When will I see you again, darling.” She asks.“Maybe tonight darling. I
Ella's POV.I have never been so happy in my life. Luca was all I needed. I don't understand why I was fearing so much to fall in love all over again. But so far, I believe it was for the best that I got over my fear and just flow with my feelings.Luca made me his priority. Every morning, he made sure to call me before he went off to work. We met like every day and I really loved when we met. It was always so fun when I was with him. He also filled the gap of a dad in my daughter's life. And in return, my daughter, and Luca drew so close to each other even more than before. I was so happy with my life. Everything was perfect, and I never wanted anything to go wrong. I remember today I had given Laura's nanny a day off. I wanted to prepare my daughter for school by myself. I needed to spend sometime with her, and today was that day. She was also growing so fast. My little daughter is six years now. I felt like time was moving so fast and with no time, she will be a full-grown woman w
Luca's POV.I am out of work now. And I feel like I miss my girlfriend so much. I am so happy with her and I have never regretted my decision to being with her. All the wait for her was worth it. I called her to invite her for dinner. It's two days now and we have not seen each other. She picks up almost immediately I call.Ella – Darling. I was waiting for your call.Me – Darling, I am out of work now, and I miss you so much. Can I see you today?Ella – I miss you more, darling. I thought you would never ask. I will meet you.

We have dated for a while now, but we have known each other for six years now. I believe it's time to take
Ella's POV.I was shocked when Luca proposed to me. I know he is sad because I have refused his proposal. I have to think about marriage thing first before making any rush decision. I remember what happened to me last time and I get shivers all over my body. I don't want that to happen to me again because I know I will not survive it. Luca means the world to me and I know he is different from Felix, but it's best if I take things really slow this time round.I get home feeling sad and could not help but think about Luca. I just could not get him out of my mind. When I open the door, I notice my mother sleeping on the couch. From the look of things, I sensed that things were not ok. My mother never sleeps on the couch, regardless of what happens to her. Today, things looked strange to me. I go over to her and I tap her shoulder to wake her up. She slowly opens her eyes to look at me. She fakes a smile and struggles to get up. “Ooh, you are already back.” She says.“Yes mom. I know I
Ella's POV.I decided not to go to work today, so I could take care of my mother. Leaving her alone in this situation would not have been good at all. She needed someone to be there for her, and that was me, her only daughter. We talked and talked until she calmed down. I checked my phone and time had really flown so quickly. Laura was already out of school, and she was possibly waiting for me to pick her up. She only wanted me to pick her up after school because she hated the school bus. I quickly got my car keys and headed out of the house. Since my mother was sleeping, there was no use of waking her up since I knew I would be back in a few minutes. My heart raced a little, and I was so restless. I totally forgot about my daughter, and she was not used to me picking her up late from school. I just hoped she was patient enough and waited for me.When I get to her school, there were no students left, and my heart skips. I decide not to panic and just ask the gate man whether there w
