The man picked up a walkie-talkie, talked into it for a few minutes, and then opened the gate, gesturing for Rosita to go into the property without a word. She entered quickly and immediately made her way down the driveway before he could change his mind. The house that was facing her was small, we
“I know how much of a thorn Christina has been in the flesh of everybody, especially yours. She has hurt you over the years, just as she has hurt me and so many other people over the years. What if I told you there was a way to get sweet revenge on her?” Rosita asked Gerald, her eyes twinkling. “I
“That's not possible, Rosita.” He replied, at last, looking at her with fresh eyes. “Let’s humor ourselves for one second and pretend that it was possible. Don’t you think Mr. Carter would cut her off and refuse to give her a portion of the inheritance, especially since she doesn't have the best be
Sally was reclining on one of the pool chairs in Sean's backyard, where she was sunning and preparing to go for a much-needed swim. He was not around, as he had gone to work, but she had two days off from work, so she had come to spend them with him. After their conversation the other day about whe
Rather than Sean, it was Jimmy's teacher, Caroline, who was standing there. She was holding what looked to be a bag of groceries in her hands and was frozen in shock as she stared at Sally. She had apparently not expected her to be there.Both women stood there for what seemed like an eternity as th
That night, Sean presented himself at the house, looking for Sally. This was hours after she left his place in a huff after Caroline showed up. "What do you want?" She asked him belligerently after Nora came to inform her that he was looking for her and led him to the front of her room door. "Good
"You're so sexy, Sally." He breathed reverentially, trailing a finger from her neck down to one nipple, and drawing a shudder and a low moan from her. Before long, he was drawing stronger moans and reactions from her and then they had sex right there in her room, careful to keep their voices down,
"I thought you got your heart broken and that's why you don't want to have anything serious to do with anyone. So how come it's because of Caroline, whom you're still friends with, and how come you're seeing someone else, and you don't care whether she knows or not? Are you guys in an open relations
“You’re here again.” She states, rolling her eyes without so much as a good morning when she opens the door and sees me standing there. “Good morning to you too. Yes, I’m indeed here again. How are you doing?” I ask her, resolving not to let her hostility get to me. She has every reason to be hosti
I have not been to Nora's apartment for several months since Sally disappeared. In the first month of Sally's disappearance, I used to come here a lot, so much so that I’m sure that I must have begun to look like a desperate creep to Nora. Each time I came here back then, I would plead and plead wi
“No! I want to go with you and Aunt Sally!” He protests angrily when he sees the nanny and realizes that I’m about to leave him with her. “Honey, you must be very tired from running up and down with me these past few days. That is why I want your nanny to take you home so you can rest. Besides, you
SEAN Somehow, Sally allows herself to be convinced to come back home with me, which as even her doctor agrees, is the best decision for her right now because she needs all the help that she can get. We’ve finally been able to reach Nora and Austin, who have arrived at their honeymoon destination a
SALLY I can tell that Sean is surprised at my blunt tone and sharp words, but I couldn’t care less. I vaguely remember how I had pleaded with my boss to get in touch with him after she told me that she could not reach Nora and Austin no matter how many times she tried to reach them. I had been ter
The small bundle feels incredibly light as the nurse places it in my arms. Every single iota of sleep flees from my eyes as I hold and look down at my daughter. The nurse helps me adjust the baby in my arms while smiling at me in approval. Immense love for this tiny human floods my entire being and
I smile unsurely at the doctor, certain that I must have misheard what she just said. She doesn't smile back but instead continues to stare back at me with a measured look that says that she's not messing around. “I'm sorry but I'm not sure what you're talking about. What do you mean by expectant f
SEAN I have to admit that I am not thinking straight, but I'll blame that on the lack of sleep and the thought of seeing sadly again after all these months. Sally is lying on a bed in a very tiny room and she's being placed on oxygen. She looks so small and defenseless in the hospital bed. I appr
“There has been an emergency involving Sally and she's requesting for you.” A female voice had said over the phone mere seconds ago. “Is she OK? What's wrong with her? Where is she?” I ask in quick succession without waiting for an answer to each question. Taking deep breaths, I remind myself to be
