SOOHIEAfter a while Alex paid the hospital bills and he led me into his Helicopter with Allessa in my hand while Mark and Lisa left to wherever they had planned before they saw me at the restaurant Allessa began to cry at the noise of the Helicopter, he wanted to carry her but Allessa wouldn’t let him carry her .I look at him and our gaze met , he had this angry look on his face, he seems not even want to see my face. I had to look away from his face.“Can’t you just make her stop crying?! He yells at me. “ Only God knows what you are good at? At least you are so good at running away with my baby and turning me into a deaf man” he saidI look into his eyes and my tears was almost going to fall of my face but I tried hard pushing it back focusing on how to stop our child from crying.When she didn’t stop , I yelled out at my daughter in frustration of what he said to me.“Allessa!,” I managed to yelled out hoarsely at her but felt sorry after yelling at her. Allessa went momentarily
A few hours we arrived home in Florida , I was still unsettled by the emotions those long ago memories on the chopper had stirred up. I was standing in the conservatory; it was the highest point in the staggered house and had always felt like an eagle’s aerie to her. All but one wall, as well as half of the ceiling, was entirely made of glass.I gazed down at the beautiful, blue Atlantic Ocean with its pristine beaches. To my left was a view of the mountain range. One of the best view of the private house.The house was exactly as she remembered. Big and beautiful, it was built into the face of the mountain and had panoramic views all around. I loved this house, absolutely loved the way it caught the sun. I never knew how much I missed the view until now maybe because I never saw it as a home to me, I had always wanted to leave back then. Every memories came back to me as I stepped out of the chopper, the bad and the good memories but I guess the bad memories was much with the sweet s
“You should get some rest.” His words were icy. “You look exhausted and ill! You’re also much too thin. Allessa needs a healthy mother, not some wraith who can barely lift her.”“Alex. . . Are you still mad at me for running away with our baby? Why do you hate me so much. I was scared?” It was getting increasingly hard for me to remain upright, but this was important to talk about. I was physically weak at the moment, but I didn’t want our daughter to see us quarreling it not good for her little memories .“How dare you ask that, you expect me to be happy at your wicked attitude ?” he hissed furiously. “How dare you, after running away with our baby?”“I did what I thought was best for us,” she reminded him, her trembling voice as icy as his had been before. “You and your dad wanted a heir, you never loved me as well! You and your daddy were going to take away my baby if I had stayed yet I was going to pay the loan and still get divorced.”“Just stop playing the tragic victim,” he war
JEFFI wanted to tell my wife but then I didn’t tell her again, I wanted us to hear from the joint investigator we had hired.STEPHANIE.After two months I successfully succeeded in winning over the heart of the stupid bastard. I like the fact that he helped me humiliate my sister but he didn’t let me go even the whole drama has subsided. People are still talking about it but not very much as I thought they would keep talking about. For some days now I would lie that I needed to go to the hospital and he would always follow me but today he let me go on my own. I was so happy that I had won him over with my fake love.Immediately I got out of there I rush back home for my credit card. I walk past my mom who was in call asking if the police had found me. “ Stephanie! Stephanie!! I didn’t answer , I dashed into my room, she rushes after me, she entered into my room.“ Where have you been for the past two months, I called your line it was switched off, I called all your friends and none
ALEX“How long do you expect us to continue to living like this?” I asked. I was trying very hard to keep the emotional strain off my face.“Live like what? You have it made, Sophia, you’ll never want for anything, you have everything you need right here. I’m the one who will be making the sacrifices, shackled to the wife who crippled me and run away with my child . I’ll be the one saddled with a wife whom I have absolutely no respect for. But I want my daughter, and for now this is the only way that I can have her.”I replied “Oh please, Alex ,” she retorted, her face pale and I could see the anger written all over her face“You’re not quite the prize you think you are. You forget that I’ll be trapped in a loveless marriage with a man who made me sign prenup with lots of condition that will only favor just he alone. A man who hates me for absolutely no reason at all and who makes no secret of the fact that he doesn’t respect me. How on earth do you call that having it made? I’d rather
“If this is to be an open marriage,” she continued, “I will start seeing other people too. All I ask is that we be as discreet as possible, for Alessa’s sake.”She intended to see other men? That thought did not sit too well with him. I opened my mouth to protest before remembering that it had been my own stupid idea for me not to deprive myself. After all if I claim I did not want her even though I still love her, why should she live under my roof and think of seeing another man. I imagined in my head that she would see another man, the man was going to kiss and touch my own woman.“ No , you can’t see another man” I replied.“ Why not? We are only here because of Alessa isn’t it” she asked then I didn’t want to sound so jealous.“Fine it’s an open marriage after all I don’t even want you,” I replied and pretend to agree even though deep down me , I never agreed to anything I drop down my gaze pointedly her bare ring finger, he regret not giving her a ring on that wedding day.“ The
I don’t know much of Louis but one thing I have gathered from their conversations back then was he was Alex business partner.“ His wife name is Martha” he said.“ Martha? The name sounds really old.“ How have they been coping like just a one night stand and next marriage” I said.“ He loved her and is so fond of her intact no Ken would know they never had a relationship before the pregnancy and marriage” he replied.“She’s a nice woman, a bit quiet but sharp as the proverbial tack,” he recalled fondly.“ Their story look like one of those beautiful romantic one night stand novels I used to read back then” I said.“How like a woman to find it romantic,” he scoffed.“You don’t think it’s romantic?”“I think that Louis just liked feeling needed and enjoyed the idea of having someone almost totally dependent on him. It happens! The love may have come later but initially, in my opinion, that’s all it was. Men tend to like it when women arouse our protective instincts; it makes us feel he
SOPHIE“I’ve missed your smile. . .” The sound of his sexy, smoky voice startled me into complete wakefulness. “I always loved your smile .” He sounded so wistful. I had to raise my head to look him in the eyes because he never tell me this before, he never tell me he loved those my forced smile back then, why is he even telling me this when we both know he never loved me back then.“Alex what . . .” I wanted to speak but he cursed softly before leaning to the side and switching on the bedside lamp. “I want to see you,” he muttered harshly. “When you speak, I want to know what you’re saying! When you laugh, I want to see your eyes light up, and when I make you come”—his voice lowered sexily—“I want to see you scream even if I can’t hear it.”“I don’t think . . .” I began uncertainly, I didn’t want us to make love with the lights on, I don’t want to see that face that reminded me that I am only with him because of our daughter. I don’t want to be reminded that all of this isn’t out of
