(Kim's Point of View)

I stood outside the Manison, watching as a car pulled in through the gate and parked in front of me before the passenger door opened and Eloise ran out.

"Kim!" She yelled with delight and sprang into my arms. I laughed as I rubbed her back.

"Did you think about me?"

She drew back from the hug and nodded excitedly. "You have no clue how much I miss you, big sister, and now we're going to see each other every day!" She jumped gleefully on her feet, but my smile faded when the driver's door opened and my mother came out. I restrained myself from puffing at the sight of her.

I had last seen her and my dad at the wedding, and since then I had been the ostracized and superfluous daughter.

Eloise moved to the side, allowing Mom to take her place in front of me. She seemed astonished as she swept her sight over me before pausing on my face and clearing her throat. "You are different; I almost didn't recognize you as Kim,"

I rolled my eyes. "Why? Did you presume I'd end u

    (Evy's Point of View) "Should we take this somewhere more private?" Those were the words that Seb whispered in my ear before he hoisted me and carried me in a bridal. I giggled as he carried me towards the bedroom and once we got there, he laid me gently on the bed. The desire in his sliver eyes caused warmth to pool in my stomach. Seb moved down and captured my lips in a sloppy kiss and his hands immediately roamed down my body to my inner thighs, I couldn't help but release a series of breathy moans into his mouth while my wetness seeped through my panties. Suddenly desperate for more, my hands went to his hair and rocked my hips into him with more force, the feeling of his erection sent me wild. I felt Seb's lips curve into a smirk and he pulled back, staring deep into my eyes. "So needy now, are we?" He smirked. "Shut up and touch me!" My breath hitched and a heavy gasp was expelled against my lips when he caressed my inner thigh. The feeling was incredible, the pressure o

    (Evy's Point of View)"Please, move in with me, don't say no,"Suddenly, Seb's words rang in my ears, and the pen in my palm fell.Moving in?Wasn't that a little too quick? Although our relationship progressed quickly, was I prepared for such a commitment? I would be living with Seb as my husband.The entire idea was lovely, but it was also terrifying.I sighed, suddenly feeling exhausted. A grin started to form on my lips as I looked down at the ring on my finger. Another chance? I'd finally be happy, right? Seb would never become like him?"What's on your mind?"My head sprang up and I stared at Diana, who was standing in front of my table and the door, as I realized I hadn't noticed her walk in."Can you tell me what's on your mind?" She repeated with a head tilt. "A penny for your thoughts, you know two heads are better than one," she said as she sat down on the chair, her gaze fixed on me. I knew she wouldn't leave until I told her what I was thinking.I exhaled and leaned back

    (Kim's Point of View)(MONTHS LATER)"Are you worried?" I looked across at Arthur, who was seated in his wheelchair between Lucas and me in the doctor's office.He shook his head at my question. "No," he retorted blatantly.When I looked at Lucas, he gave me a reassuring nod. I felt like I was being pricked with needles Even if they weren't anxious.Arthur's heart health had deteriorated in recent weeks, and after much convincing, he had consented to the heart transplant, but I couldn't help but be concerned as we waited for the doctor.I'd heard about heart transplants and how dangerous they could be.I groaned and waited, and after ten minutes, the door opened and Dr. Charlie strolled in with a few papers. He smiled at us."Good to see you again, Mr. and Mrs. Rodriguez," he said as he approached his seat. "I apologize for keeping you waiting; you see, I was getting Mr. Rodriguez's test results ready," he said as he sat down."What did they say?" Lucas beat me to it and we all looked

    (Evy's Point Of View)I hated hospitals. I had no how idea how Diana convinced me but then again, I knew I had to come see the doctor since I didn't know what was wrong with me.Constant vomiting, wild headaches, sensitiveness, and tender breasts. It had been going on for a while now. Diana grinned as if she knew what was wrong with me but wouldn't say a word and insisted on seeing a doctor. And I had a wild guess about what was wrong with me.Sitting there in the doctor's office, we waited, and soon, the door opened and a female doctor walked in with my test results.She beamed brightly as she occupied her seat. "Sorry to have kept you waiting but I have your test results right here,""What do they say?" Diana seemed eager as she leaned on the doctor's table. "I mean I know what might be wrong with her since I've experienced it twice already but it feels nice hearing it from the doctor's lips," Her grin expanded.I placed my hand on her shoulder and held her back. "Calm down, Diana,

    (Kim's Point of View)I peered down at the papers that had been thrown on my office table and flickered my gaze back to Mrs. Evans who has barged into my office a few seconds ago as if she owed the building. I didn't bother reading the papers, the heading was glaring me back in the face. "What is the meaning of this, Mrs. Evans?" I quizzed, wondering what she wanted this time. I thought I'd been cleared off her list to torment but I thought wrong.It had been months since I saw her and now she was here with a bunch of divorce and contract papers. Who did she think she was? Suddenly, I didn't have the patience to deal with her. She was energy-draining. How do anyone put up with her, perhaps, they didn't know what lay behind that smile she puts on, that deceiving mask.She scoffed. "I'm pretty sure you can read, Miss Quant, it says that your marriage to Arthur is overdue and now, the contract has come to an end,"She had to be kidding!I nearly laughed at the absurdity. "Does Arthur kn

    (Kim's Point of View)Mrs. Evans didn't know when to quit, which didn't surprise me.I leaned against Arthur's wheelchair and bridged my arms as I regarded Mrs. Evans and the woman she had just entered the room with, proclaiming to be Arthur's new wife.I wanted to chuckle but kept my lips firmly closed as we all waited for Arthur to say something, anything.She'd gone too far this time. From delivering divorce papers to this? She was losing her mind. I shook my head pitifully."What is the purpose of this Aunt?" Arthur's face was unreadable as usual, but his tone wasn't as pleasant as it had been when he interacted with her.Mrs. Evans laughed. "She's lovely, isn't she?" I stared at the girl as she complimented her. Yes, she was lovely. She had impeccable taste. "Since Kim's contract has expired, I obtained her for you. This is Caroline, and she will be your new wife."I rolled my eyes. Narrow-minded! What made her believe Arthur would pick her over me, even if he didn't love me?"Di

    (Kim's Point of View)When I walked into the house after a long day at work, my mind was racing with ideas.Would Arthur be upset that I know what happened to his family without his informing me? Was I going too far by talking to an inspector? I knew I was going too far, but I couldn't sit properly without disclosing the truth and letting her go free, knowing she wouldn't feel inclined to harm Arthur again and knowing she was a risk to others as well.For Christ's sake, this lady murdered her brother and his family. She was a walking true tyrant!I entered the living room and found Arthur there. He remained awake.I saw the folders on the couch next to him as well as the clench of his jaw. Was he upset about something?"Arthur!" I made my presence known but quickly regretted it as his icy Grey eyes met with mine. Was he upset with me? What exactly did I do? As I came closer, I began to wonder.My attention was drawn to the file. Was it something to do with the company? I had been hand

    (Kim's Point of View)"Where is Arthur?" As soon as I went into the mansion after work, I asked Ms. Ruth. I left early today, around 3 p.m. on a Wednesday.She seemed unsure. I gave her a strange look. "Is there a problem, Ms. Ruth?"She made a shaky motion with her head. "Arthur is in the garden, but he is not alone," "Does he have a visitor?" I asked, heading over to the couch, but stopped when she said a name."Kareen,"I tossed my purse on the sofa and dashed out the door, headed to the rear, where Arthur was with my wonderful twin sister stooping to his level on the wheelchair.What were they talking about? Curiosity got me closer and their words became clearer."I know I fucked up but please Arthur, I'm sorry, accept me back,"I gaped in surprise. The vigor of that bitch! Arthur didn't concede. She proceeded."I left you because I was having second thoughts, I wasn't sure if I was ready for such devotion but after I left I discovered how preposterous that conclusion was. I swe

    (Kim's Point of View)"Congratulations, Mrs. Rodriguez, you are two weeks pregnant."I gaped, too shocked while staring at the doctor till fingers were snapping in front of my face. I turned to look at Ivy, she was giggling."You should see your face, Kim. Congrats! Killian is gonna have a younger one." Once I'd overcome the shock, I smiled at the doctor before standing up, pulling Ivy with me."Thank you, Doctor, I will be right on time for my cheek-ups." She returned the smile and we walked out of the office, once we were out, I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding.We began heading towards the exit."You don't look so happy with the news?" Ivy observed."You don't have to worry your pretty brain Ivy, I am happy. I was just shocked. I just wasn't expecting to get pregnant so quickly, Killian is not even 2 years old yet." I shrugged.We stepped out of the hospital and went to the parking lot where my car was. I was about to open the door when..."Kim! Ivy!"The loud call of

    (Ivy's Point Of View)Meet the Author of 'Enigma'Fan signs were one thing I always look forward to. Though the money I get went straight to my bank account, meeting the fans made me feel like people were really reading.I was a bestseller, I know but nothing surpassed the feeling of meeting the fans and giving my autograph. I look forward to it every time."Thank you for coming." I smiled at my 20th fan today, taking her copy of my book. It was a 17-year-old girl with the curliest hair I'd ever seen and here I was thinking Kim's hair was curly but she ruined it by straightening it up. "I like your hair, it's pretty." I handed her back the book while a blush crept to her face. "Will you be writing a new book soon?" She stared at me expectantly, the look in her eyes was bounding, it made me want to spill all my secrets.I cracked a wide smile, motioning my hand for her to get closer. She leaned crossed the table that separated us. I moved to her ear."This is a secret but I felt you s

    [EVY’S POINT OF VIEW]Mrs. Evans was in jail, Nate was gone, and I couldn't be happier, but I couldn't say the same for Seb. He always had this expression that said he was regretting a lot of things, and I was at a loss for words as to how to console him. I’d tried to but he was always busy with one thing or the other.While waiting for Seb to descend the stairs, I stood on the last step and stared up at the ceiling. When Seb finally did, he descended with sluggish steps.“Do I have to?” Standing in front of me, he questioned. “I told you I’m fine, I don’t need to step out. I’ll survive.”I grinned and took his hand in mine slowly. "I know, but since I've already made reservations, I want to take you out."He gave me a beseeching look. “Can’t we stay at home?”"Of course not, I'd like to spend some time with my husband; we haven't gone out since we returned. Please, don’t say no?” My lips created a pout.He smiled and reached out to pinch my cheeks. "I'll do anything for you, baby."

    [Kim’s Point of View]I awoke thirsty at 4 a.m. With an empty glass in hand, I decided to go to the kitchen, but I stopped short for a split second when I noticed Arthur also sipping on water.I immediately turned away from him when he turned to look at me and went to the refrigerator without saying a word.I reached for a bottle of water and filled the glass."Are you still mad at me?" he asked abruptly, causing me to pause for a moment."No," I replied flatly. “It doesn’t look like it.” He retorted.“You don’t know everything just by looking.” I controlled my urge to grit my teeth.For a moment, I believed he had left because all I could hear was my breathing. However, that was before a hand suddenly wrapped around my wrist and spun me without warning.I opened my mouth to protest, but Arthur abruptly lifted me by the hips as if I were no heavier than a piece of paper and set me down on the kitchen counter before I had a chance to say anything. Once more, I was unable to respond as

    (Kim's Point of View)When Ms. Ruth entered the room, I was settling Killian for a nap. She appeared tense, almost as if something was pursuing her. "Is there something wrong, Ms. Ruth?" I turned away from Killian once he was completely out.She gulped. "Your mother is outside, and she is completely insane. I wasn't sure if I should let her in because your conversation didn't end well the last time she was here, and from what I saw outside, this conversation wouldn't either." I cracked a smile and placed a hand over her shoulder. "You don't need to worry, Ms. Ruth; I'll take care of my Mom; she's probably here because of Kareen."Her favorite child has been arrested, of course, she would come here.I exited the room, passing Ms. Ruth.My mother was yelling from the front gate when I arrived outside the mansion. I sighed as I stepped forward and unlocked the gate."Mo-"I wasn't able to finish as her palm struck my cheek. My head tipped to the side as a result of the collision, which

    (Kim's Point of View)There were several reasons why I needed to visit Mrs. Evans in her cell after two days in jail, but when I arrived at the station, I realized Arthur and I weren't the only ones there; Seb and Evy were also there."Kim!" Evy exclaimed as she rushed over to me and wrapped her arms around me in a hug, which I reciprocated.It was pleasant. I grinned at her when we separated. "How have you been?" I inquired.She grinned even wider. "Good since our last meeting. You are here for Mrs. Evans too?" She grilled, and I nodded. "We, too, Seb, wanted to talk to his mother one last time."I cast a glance behind her, where Arthur and Seb were conversing. I noticed Seb didn't have his usual gleeful glint in his eyes. "He's deeply affected," I remarked, returning my gaze to Evy and watching her nod. "He feels guilty about not finding it out sooner."No one would suspect their mother of being a bitch, so I wouldn't hold it against him if he didn't notice.Officer Nim approached

    (Diana's Point Of View)The airport's transit lounge was less crowded than the rest of the facility, which was bustling with activity.I sat on one of the chairs, a flight ticket to California, Los Angeles. Well, she didn't tell me where she wanted to land.I repeatedly patted my feet on the ground to maintain my composure, but the longer I waited, the tenser I became because the flight would depart in 30 minutes and she still wasn't there.Did she change her mind? Oh, please let her not, please.I tried to find any figure that might stand out as I scanned the area, but I was constantly let down. I sighed in defeat, and just when I dropped my head, a hand suddenly fell on my shoulder, my head bolted up and I jolted up to my feet at the sight of Mrs. Evans, I could barely recognize her with the amount of clothing she had on. She took off her glasses."Mummy!" Jasper cries out, and I look down at my five-year-old son. He had tears in his eyes and just when he was about to cross over to

    (Evy's Point of View)"You should eat something." I stared expectantly at Seb with a small assuring smile as I placed a plate of omelets in front of him.Diana had left a while ago."I'm not hungry right now." He gently pushed the plate back to me."If you are angry at me for not telling the truth, then I'm sorry. I just didn't want you to feel like this and right now, this is affecting me more than you think!" I enunciated. I just wanted my affectionate and doting husband back, not this caliginous man sitting in front of me on the kitchen stool.He sighed, then wiped his face with his hands. "I'm not mad at you, Evy, I'm just mad at myself for not seeing or knowing this sooner.""You couldn't have known, she's your Mom." I sat on the stool beside him."I know but I should have known, I lived with her for my whole life. I should have known she was doing so much right under my nose. I feel so guilty." He divulged.I rubbed his back as comfort. "It's not your fault your Mom is pleonasti
