(Evy's Point of View)

I first felt being watched right after I left home but the feeling wasn't there when I arrived at work but it returned when I finally step out of the building after a tiring day.

I looked around the parking lot, watching as workers got into their cars and drove off. There was nothing out of the ordinary but still, I felt eyes drilling through the back of my back. Suddenly fear gripped my body knowing there was someone out there who had been following me for the past few days.

I knew I wasn't being extra sensitive as Diana had claimed, I knew there was someone following me. What did he/she want from me? It couldn't be some serial killer, was it? The thought hit me harder than I expected and I didn't remain in the now empty parking lot as I immediately got into my car and drove off.

Ten minutes into the road, I saw a van behind me. I watched the van drive creepily behind me and when I took a sudden U-turn, the driver also did the same.

Fuck!

I was being followed!

    (Evy's Point of View)"Baby," I sprang awake as I felt warm hands pull me up.My eyes flew open as I saw Seb carry me off the floor. As he placed me on the bed, my arms reflexively wrapped around his neck, hugging him and refusing to let go.After snuggling me beneath the covers, Seb sat next to me on the bed. He gave me a troubled look. "You're making me worried, sweetie; you haven't been yourself in a long time."I nearly missed what he was saying until my hazy eyes rested on the phone and my recollections were revived."You said five minutes, but when I got in, you were asleep on the floor. Is there anything I should know, Evelyn?" He continued, this time using my name, and I understood how scared he must have been to have seen me asleep on the floor, with heated cheeks and shallow eyes.Should I inform him about the message? It was only fair that he was aware of what was going on; I didn't want him to be upset, but what if I was dragging him into my mess? Nate might also harm him

    (Evy's Point of View)It had been two days since the message ordeal and I hadn't stepped out of the mansion and Seb hadn't gone anywhere either as he took his time to take care of me. I know I said I was not a traumatized teenager but at this moment, I was beginning to eat those words. I might but be a teenager, I felt traumatized having to bubble everything up. I felt like exploding as every memory crashed on me."Evelyn," I lifted my head at the sound of my name, finding Seb there at the edge of the bed. He has been so understanding toward me while I hid things from him, I didn't deserve him."I-I-I-" I began. "I'm ready to tell you everything,"He came to sit beside me on the bed. "I told you I don't have to know anything,""But it's eating me up, it's draining me, I just want this burden off my chest Seb and telling you is the only way,"He stared at me a moment later, giving me the opportunity to back out of it but I wouldn't. Slowly, I took hold of his hand and stared into his

    (Evy's Point of View)"Evelyn,"My head bolted up from my table at the sound of my name. "Adam," I called confusedly as Adam sauntered into my office. He was hastily ambling round the table to my side, abruptly clasping me by the shoulders and heaving me up to my feet. I wheezed in shock as he enveloped me in his arms. I was mushed up against him."I was so apprehensive," He mumbled, holding me even tighter, shirking the validity that I was a human who needed to freaking breathe. I patted frantically on his back, making sure he got the hint that he was squeezing me to death, luckily he did and drew back but his hands remained on my shoulders. "Are you alright, Evy, he didn't hurt you right?"My brows narrowed in complication. "He?""I'm talking about Nate," He aired and my mouth had an o shape in realization. "I heard he got out of the penitentiary, I didn't think vastly of it till the cops turned up at my house, inquiring if I knew the whereabouts of that bastard. I heard he had be

    (Evy's Point of View)"YOU LET HIM KISS YOU!"Seb detonated as soon as we were back at the mansion. His sliver eyes didn't have any tenderness, his jaw was locked in wrath. He looked like he was fighting an inner battle to not tear me apart at where I stood."I didn't know he would kiss me," I murmured with my head lowered. "We were just talking when he suddenly just kissed me, I didn't have the time to push him away before you came in, you have to believe me, Seb,""I told you he was up to no good, that bastard has been eyeing you forever!"Even Seb was able to detect it on the first day of meeting Adam yet I was so oblivious. I even fended him. Was I that clueless about my surroundings? "I'm sorry, please don't be mad," I apologize, getting closer and taking hold of his hand. He glared at me but I didn't back away as I displayed a tiny smile and drew circles on his palm, trying to comfort him."I swear Seb, I didn't know Adam had never looked at me as a friend or his brother's ex-wi

    (Evy's Point of View)Once we left the hospital, we don't go home as I reckoned as Seb killed the engine in front of an eatery. I was craving some fried chicken and there were still 20 minutes left before we get home. I didn't want to wait that long."I will be right back," Seb let out, smooching me on the cheek before getting out of the car. I watched him disappear into the restaurant. Once he was out of sight, I let my gaze drift and that was when I saw it or them.I moved my face closer to the window of the car, instantly discerning Mrs. Evans's figure through the transparent glass windows of the restaurant.She was talking to someone and the person figure was familiar even though he was wearing a hoodie over his head. Who was that? I didn't think Mrs. Evans was one to go to places as cheap as this restaurant.I shrugged, it could be someone I didn't know but I was wrong, dead wrong as the man suddenly stood up and I saw his face.Those familiar yet older features that I used to l

    (Evy's Point of View)It has been 30 minutes since we got home from the restaurant. I paced from one corner of the living room to the other with my hand on my hips. Nate had connections with Mrs. Evans but why? What did she want to do with him, why Nate of all people? I know she declared she wasn't the one who got him out of penitentiary but I didn't believe a damn word that came out from her mouth, that woman was the greatest prevaricator I had ever seen. She was slanted in the cruelest way, there was nothing favorable about her!"Calm down, Evelyn, you heard what the specialist said, you can't stress yourself like this," Seb's panicked voice reached my ears and I veered around to him. I comprehended and recollected what the doctor asserted but I just couldn't help it. "Did you see that, did you see what your mother is doing?!" I mandated. I watched him sigh and ran his hand over his face. He appeared so infertile, he looked like he was combatting the notion to crash at where he st

    (Kim's Point of View)It was supposed to be a marvelous day for Eloise, Ivy, and me as we found a table in Eloise's favorite restaurant but then, my twin showed up out of nowhereI rolled my eyes as she approached us, railing against the floor with her heels. "Oh, you girls are here, mind I join you," She beamed dazzlingly with fakeness attached to it. She averted her gaze to Eloise, reaching out to stroke the girl's hair. "I haven't seen you in a longest time baby sister," She let out, already taking a seat beside Eloise at our table. "It's my birthday today," Eloise fretted, realizing her older sister didn't realize it was her birthday."Oh, I totally forgot to get a gift. But why aren't we commemorating, why are you here in this cheap-looking restaurant,""Hey!" Ivy blurted, offended. "You are here too, doesn't that make you ordinary,"Kareen turned to Ivy with a smile.

    (Kim's Point of View)One thing I abhorred the most was when I was being arraigned for something I knew nothing of. I scowled at the photos in my hand. They were taken from earlier at the restaurant when that bastard had his hands on my waist but the captured shot and angle made it seem like I was almost kissing him and we were in an intimate stance.I looked up from the photos to Arthur. "What's the meaning of this, where did you get these pictures?"He seemed irritated as he poked his inner cheek. "Shouldn't I be the one polling you, Kim, what were you doing in those photos?!""I was doing nothing, Arthur," I conceded immediately, what was he getting at?"I've always cautioned you of your stature, whatever your do will evaluate inadequately on the Rodriguezs. If you are going to do something inappropriate, do it where the municipal eyes wouldn't see you," He snarled, peering up at me with undecipherable eyes and a locked jaw.My jaw plunged in astonishment.

    (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
