(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. "You are Ivy right, I remember you in college, you were much of a techie as well, you've changed a lot. Are you

    (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. "A-are you trying to say

    (Kim's Point of View)"Kim," Arthur wheeled himself out from the kitchen, his phone in his lap. I grinned as he came between Mrs. Evans and me."Did you receive it?" I inquired, crossing my arms over my chest.He didn't respond as he looked at his Aunt with a blank gaze. I looked at her, she looked frozen as if her worst nightmare was standing in from of her. Who could have thought, the tough and mighty Mrs. Evans could also get scared? it gave me nothing but utter satisfaction. Now she knew how her medicine tasted and it was bitter."Arthur, it's not what you think," She began in a much more panicked tone than I expected. I pressed my lips together.Arthur showed us the message I send on his phone and pressed the play feature."Arthur, No!" Mrs. Evans cried out, snatching the phone from her nephew but it was too late as the record played and we waited however, there was nothing but violent noises. She frowned deeply, waiting a bit longer but nothing was being said in the tap."It's j

    (Kim's Point of view,)Mrs. Evans showed up at Arthur's house for the third time this week. What did this woman want, she didn't have a place to live?She was scheming, it turned out.When I entered the living room, Mrs. Evans was bawling in Arthur's arms. I frowned at the sight."What exactly is going on?" I spoke out, garnering Arthur's stern look. What happened this time?"I believe that inquiry is intended for you," he stated.I stood quietly, my gaze shifting from Arthur's to Mrs. Evans'. What had she said this time to him? "I'm not sure what you're talking about, Arthur.""Aunt stated that she had been summoned to the precinct to make a statement. I thought I warned you not to get involved. Do you realize how much grief you've caused my aunt while she sat there, going through those horrible memories? You seem to forget that my father was her elder brother. Whatever hurts me, harms her."What the hell is going on? "You told me to mind my own business, and that's precisely what I

    (Kim's Point of view)It had been two days and I still hadn't gone home as I decided to remain in Ivy's home and it has been two days since I had been neglecting Arthur's calls.If he was phoning and messaging, she hadn't done him anything yet. If she had done anything, I would have known anyway. I would never leave Arthur alone with the adversary.I sighed as I heard my phone beep for the tenth time. I simply did not want to speak with him on the phone.I grimaced when Ivy entered the living room with a cup of coffee in her hand. "That stinks, Ivy!"She raised an eyebrow. "What's wrong with you, you've never despised the scent of coffee?"I shook my head. "I simply want the aroma to be acceptable; I've just developed a sensitivity to a lot of things lately.""Are you expecting?" She blurted out."What!" Flabbergasted, I exclaimed. "Where did you get that?"It was now her turn to shrug. "I'm not sure. You know as a novelist, I've had pregnant characters before,"I sighed and rolled my

"His body rejected the donor's heart and had caused some major complications, I'm sorry we couldn't save him,"A laugh shredded off me and I took a step toward the doctor. "Tell me you're joking?" I mandated. "TELL ME YOU'RE FREAKING JOKING!" My hands automatically reached out to grab the doctor but I felt hands holding me back. "YOU SAID HE WAS GOING TO SURVIVE, YOU FREAKING SAID NOTHING WOULD GO WRONG, AND NOW YOU'RE TELLING ME HE'S FREAKING DEAD!" I cried out at the top of my lungs yet no tear had fallen out from my eyes yet. "Put yourself together, Mrs. Rodriguez and I'm sorry for your loss," Sorry? Put myself together? I lost my husband. No, that couldn't be true, this was probably some squeamish joke. There was no way Arthur was dead!I looked at Mrs. Evans. "You!"She looked astonished as if she was caught off guard I was talking to her. I shook the hands holdi

    (Evy's Point of View)The atmosphere was dreadful as tears were everywhere as I walked into the church with my hand hooked in She's arm dressed in black just like everyone else.We walked towards the front where the priest was giving a summon while a closed casket was placed at the front. We took a sit at the back and once the summon was done, we approached Kim Rodriguez who was sitting at the front, she gave a tiny smile once she saw Seb and me."Kim," Seb reached out, giving her a comforting hug which she returned standing up from her seat."Thanks for coming," She whispered and once they broke free, I stepped forward."Kim, you've already met Evelyn," "Yes, we are friends," She reached out for a handshake but I felt she needed more of a hug as I reached and pulled her to one. "My condolences," I hushed, stroking her hair. I gave a tiny assuring smile once we broke apart."Thank you,"She was taking it better than I expected. I didn't think I would ever be this calm if something

    (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
