(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

    (Kim's Point of View)"I'm sorry, the patient didn't make it, time of death, 3:45 pm,""W-hat?!"The doctor sighed. "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

    (Evy's Point of View)"What am I holding up?" enquired the doctor standing in front of me.My hazy vision picked up what he was holding. "A hand," I responded."Do you feel discomfort anywhere?""No, just a small headache," He gave a nod. "You're in a critical condition, Mrs. Evelyn; you need to stay in the hospital for a few days for frequent check-ups," So much for hate for hospitals. "What happened to my baby? Did I lose it?"The doctor let out a sigh. "The fetus is so fragile; it's a marvel it's still alive. However, you and your child will be alright after a complete inspection."I moaned, clutching my forehead. When was this going to be over? Was my child going to die first? My hand moved sluggishly to the top of my tummy." Miss Williams,"Officer Nim and two other cops were walking into my room when I heard my name called."How are you doing, Ma'am? "We'd want to ask you a few questions regarding what happened two days ago," he said.So I'd been sleeping for two days? A lot

    (Kim's Point of View)The more I looked in the bathroom mirror, the more I couldn't believe I was pregnant. I was carrying Arthur's child and Arthur was gone.Reality struck me every time. It had been a week since he had been laid to rest, and a week wasn't enough time to grieve for someone I loved deeply; not even years could cure my shattered heart.I sobbed as I realized the only person who gave me strength was no longer there. I sobbed as I realized I would be raising our child alone and that my child would be fatherless.Why was fate so cruel? What was I fighting for if Arthur was no longer alive? He was the reason I was willing to go to hell."Kim,"I heard the sound of my name. I immediately wiped my tears and went outside the bathroom to the bedroom to find Ms. Ruth. Her eyes saddened at the sight of me, especially when she noticed the untouched tray of food she has brought in this morning laying on the table."Oh no, you can't go without eating while you're pregnant," she cl

    [Evy’s Point of View]"Are you so incensed at me that you can't even look at me?"I exhaled and turned to face Adam, who was seated on the chair beside my hospital bed. Our gazes met immediately, and the melancholy in his eyes was almost affecting. "I'm not angry at you, Adam; I just don't want to speak to you right now," I voiced."I assumed we were passed this, Evelyn," he lamented. He then exhaled. "I just wanted to apologize for being a jerk to you. I was just astounded to discover you were romantically involved. You know, I always thought I had a shot with you; I just never thought, I had never crossed your thoughts as a possible husband,""That's because, even after Nate, I've always looked at you as an ally, as a family. I didn't expect you to feel more for me," I sighed again. "Look, Adam, I've forgiven you, but Seb is coming in shortly, and it's best if you leave now; he doesn't seem to like you since the first time you met, and he's still upset about what occurred at the off

    [Kim’s point of view]“What are you doing here?”The question decamped my lips as soon as I sauntered into the living room, finding my twin there. Sitting on one of the sofas as if she owed the place while sipping on a glass of wine.She grinned as she saw me, placing the glass of wine on the table and standing to her feet, and ambling towards me like she was on some red carpet. I rolled my eyes at the melodrama.Someone should tell her this real life and not some opera. “You didn’t answer my question, Kareen?”“I came to visit my twin who is now a widow I heard, my condolences,” she halted in front of me, bridging her arms over her chest and browsing me with her eyes. “Tell me how it feels Sis because I would have been in your position today but I guess the universe was too liberal and was in my favor but for some reason, I wish I was in your position,”My jaw closed up in irritation and my gaze turned into a scowl. “You think this is some hoax, Kareen?”She shook her head. “Not at a

Even if Arthur was gone which I still wasn't ready to accept, I still had our baby to live for.I sauntered into my office, not anticipating to see who I found there standing in the middle of the room, a black hoodie over his head that concealed his features."What are you doing here?" I queried, striding over to my seat behind the large brown office table. I peered at him, unimpressed. "And most importantly, how did you get into my office without my secretary being aware?"I heard him scoff but he didn't hoist his head. "You haven't been picking up my calls for weeks now, I thought I should take matters into my own hands. I can't have you evading me perpetually when I have something that you need,"I sighed, shutting my eyes for a moment as I processed everything. I reopened my eyes. "If I'm not picking

    (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
