[Evy’s Point of View]

I rubbed my hands together, feeling them moist.

“Here,”

I looked up at the voice, finding Seb holding a glass of water for me, I took it from him with a tiny and nervous smile and took a sip. He sat on the couch opposite. “Have you heard anything from the police?”

It had been 30 minutes since we arrived and I was still very much apprehensive. Diana had been dropped at home. As much as she wanted to be with me at all times, she had a husband and kids to look after.

Seb bobbed. “They aren’t able to apprehend him, he escaped.”

Instantly, terror and panic replenished my heart. “What are we going to do, I can’t stay here knowing Nate is still out there, watching our every move,”

I was being a wuss and I knew that. As much as I’d like to reprimand all of this on the pregnant hormones, I knew it was a lie.

I was letting this affect me so much but this was Nate. The man that brought exhilaration and swerved that bliss into my worst nightmare. He was the devil in human fo

    [4 Months Later][Ivy’s Point of View]I knew nothing about children because I had always found kids annoying, even in my novels, I did everything possible to keep child character away and I swore I won’t have any kids because as I had said, kids were annoying, however that thought of mine changed when I first found out my best friend was pregnant and, I was going to be a godmother.I remembered feeling enthusiastic for the first time about kids. I thought if Kim was having one, they couldn’t be that bad, I decided to change my thoughts about youngsters and just read everything about them when it appeared Kim needed me the most because her mother and twin sister were bitches.My friends were astonished when they found me with baby books, they went far as asking if I was knocked up accidentally but they had no idea I was ready to change because I loved my best friend and I was ready to do anything for her.To shorten the whole ass story, I thought I had everything in control, I thought

    [Kim’s point of view]As I ecstatically gazed at the baby in my arms, I realized I had never before realized how blissful motherhood could be. He was my child; the only seed Arthur had left; at least he hadn't abandoned me entirely. My Killian was the only source of control and illumination I had. His eyes opened to blink at me as I affectionately grinned and reached out to touch his small cheek. I hoped Killian would someday look exactly like his father because at least Arthur had left some of his beautiful features behind, and his eyes were grey like his father's."He appears to be a strong one," Ms. Ruth thought beside me, and I agreed by nodding. My Killian was indeed a formidable opponent. Two months have passed since I gave birth, and during that time I have been at home caring for my newborn."Arthur must be so proud wherever he is," her tone was sorrowful, almost as if she was holding back a cry. I nodded again and parted my lips to speak just as the loud sound of my phone

    [KIM’S POINT OF VIEW][TEN MONTHS LATER]“HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!”The screams were loud and garish, causing Killian to jerk before breaking into tiny, unrestrained giggles and waving his hands in front of us.“He’s so cute!” Ivy cooed, wiping away her invisible tears. "I never imagined children could be this adorable, or it was just little Killian over here." She reached out and lightly pinched both of his cheeks.“I think you should consider having one now,”There were only four of us, Ivy, Eloise, and Mrs. Ruth, gathered on a large rug in the middle of the living room, and I couldn't believe Killian was a year old now, he was growing so fast. It seemed like only yesterday that I was screaming my head off in an attempt to push him out. Looking at him now, it was amazing to see him crawl, walk, and say his first word; I wish Arthur was here to witness all of this.Ivy gave me a critical look. "Please don't put ideas in my head. "I still don't want to have children.""That's not surprising,

    [Kim’s point of view]I made an effort to pay attention to what the broad members were saying, but their words only pierced one ear before exiting the other. At the moment, I didn’t want to be there. I'd never been bored at work before, or maybe I was just overly enthusiastic.Five minutes later, as I was about to conclude the meeting, the door to the conference room burst open, revealing three police officers walking inside. Everyone turned their heads to the door, taken aback.“You shouldn’t be here.” While my secretary was already attempting to reach out, they were fixated on Mrs. Evans, who was sitting among the board members.“Mrs. Evans!” one of the officers reached out and the woman stood up."Is there an issue, officers?" As her eyes moved between the officers, her tone remained unaffected."We'd like to ask you to come to the station for questioning."Her brows furrowed, and for a fleeting moment, her eyes met mine before returning to the police. “Is that more sort of joke, q

    [KIM’S POINT OF VIEW]It seemed like a dream—one of those dreams that you know will never come true, but there was still a glimmer of hope—but this shouldn't be happening; Arthur shouldn't be standing in front of me. Standing? My gaze was drawn to his legs before returning to meet his grey eyes.It felt like I was staring at someone entirely different but I knew this was Arthur despite the fact that he didn't look like anything I remembered.His grey eyes had grown darker, but they were hollow and deep and they looked unfamiliar; his features had changed since I last saw them two years ago; his hair was a dark shade of black; it was neatly brushed off his broad, smooth forehead; he was wearing a black suit that looked so appropriate on his body; and, finally, he wasn't real. And those were my final thoughts before my visions blurred and everything went black.*^*When I opened my eyes again, I saw Ivy's worried expression staring down at me. I jerked myself onto the bed and strained

    (Kim's Point of View)Killian is not my son.I made an effort not to cry as Arthur's words resounded in my head, but I still sniffed and covered my mouth to prevent any sobbing that was threatening to embarrass me."It's okay to cry you know,"I jerked my head back, staring at Ivy, who was sitting next to me on the sofa we'd occupied 30 minutes before, and 30 minutes since Kareen and Arthur had disappeared upstairs, doing what? I had no idea, but I couldn't bear the thought of climbing the stairs."I-I-I.." My voice cracked as I fought back a sob. "I've never felt this helpless and unsure before, Ivy. I don't know what to do. My heart feels like it has been torn out and is being stepped on. It hurts so bad that I do not know if I should cry and scream till my voice is all gone,"I have never felt so frail.Ivy rubbed my back. “I've already called Lucas, and he's on his way. Maybe he can talk some sense into Arthur.”"I think you shouldn't have called him yet. What is he going to do,

    (Kim's Point of View)I cried. I sobbed in a way I had never let out before, and I didn't stop until all of my tears were gone, leaving me feeling desiccated, broken, and helpless.I didn't know what time it was, but the darkness outside my window informed me that it was night. I also didn't know how long I had been sobbing on the lonely bed, crying out for something I had never lost.I curled up on my side, exhausted and ineffective. I thought I had everything planned out, that I finally knew the answers. I had come so close to having all the evidence. However, it was all gone now, all the evidence had vanished, and Arthur had forgotten who I was and thought I was his worst enemy.When I first imagined my prince charming, I forgot about the fact that every princess must fight for her prince. Then, I had my head in the clouds, I was so naive. Though I never had the ideal family because my parents despised me for not being Kareen, I believed that everything would improve once I met my

    [KIM’S POINT OF VIEW] A lot had been going on.Seven days since Arthur unexpectedly appeared, having forgotten the entire year he spent with me. Seven days since Arthur considered me to be his greatest foe. Seven days since Kareen occupied the space in Arthur's life that was intended for me. And seven days since I remained sequestered in my room, bawling uncontrollably until I thought all of my body's tears had dried up.On the eighth day, I finally decided to leave my room and leave my misery behind by taking my son to the park.With Killian in my arms, I descended the stairs and entered the living room, but the sight that met me stopped me in my tracks. My eyes remained fixed on the sight of Kareen sprawled out in Arthur's arms on the couch.Instead of welling up with tears, my eyes stung and coarsened with rage as I suddenly felt the need to strangle someone. However, I swallowed the painful lump that rose to my throat and made the decision to consider them to be invisible as I wa

    (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
