May’s POVI held Kelly by her hands, looking deeply into her eyes and still in awe of her new look. My sister had changed so much and realizing it brought tears to my eyes. I let them flow freely as I threw my arms across her shoulders, hugging her from the side because of my bump.“You look so different now, in a good way,” I said to her, and she smiled with her eyes covered in tears as well.“Who would have thought Kelly could put on some weight and gain some boobies? Motherhood has been far from easy but I've been loving every single aspect of it,” she said.I looked over to Nelly who was holding her baby. I moved to her and held her from behind, and then I reached for the baby.“Look at you, so gorgeous from head to toe, Harrison is doing you real good,” I said, and she bursted out into a round of laughter.“You can say that again, he’s been so supportive and such a great parent and I'm so grateful for that,” she responded. “I'm so proud of you my sisters, you two made very beau
Brittany’s POVThe voice of my distressed friend sent shivers running down my spine. This was not the time to blame her but to render the help that she was in dire need of.She was an asshole and never listened to all my warnings to steer clear of him when news that he was back in the city ravaged everywhere. If you asked me, I would say that I was tired and so done trying to save someone who frequently gave up herself to be drowned in water.“Hello! Where are you at the moment?” I asked her, ignoring the thoughts that ran through my mind like a flood.“He threw me out of the house after beating me to pulp and blue, there are cuts on my skin from the whip he used on me, I also dislocated my left thigh when I tried to outrun him, I'm in so much pain Brit,” she wailed over the phone.“I need you to be as calm as possible Brandy, you're my friend and I would love to help but I have no strength in me to contend with Cole,” I said to her. I knew how her tyrant of a husband was and I was
May’s POVI gently tapped on the twins to wake them up. The wall clock read 5:50 pm and still, our aunt was not home.We’d all retired to the room to take a nap alongside the babies about three hours ago and we all slept pretty long.“Nelly! Kelly! It’s getting late already and Mama Bear is not yet back from Mrs. Brandy’s,” I said out loud, and they jerked out of their sleep, with a look of surprise on their faces.“What do you mean she's not back? Have you checked the sitting room and the balcony? You know she loves to sit there in the cool of the evening,” Nelly said, yawning in between her sentences and stretching out her hands and legs.“I checked everywhere already and she was not in sight,” I retorted, pacing back and forth, with my arms akimbo. “Let me put a call across to her," Kelly said, sitting up slowly and reaching for her phone which was on the table, her eyes as red as crimson, as she rubbed the side of her palm slightly against them as if to awaken them.“Oh, that! I
“Let’s leave this premises before he harms us," I urged my sister, pulling her by the arm. We both ran out immediately into the streets, far away from his prying eyes and then we stopped to sit under a caravan store that was closed for the day. I was panting heavily and gasping for breath, and Kelly had to tap my back to ease off the stress and tension. “I know she wouldn’t ever be needing another life lesson,” Kelly said, referring to our aunt.“Hopefully… but we all know her; she has a heart so large, that she’s so willing to accommodate any and everyone, their excesses inclusive,” I remarked trying to find a balance on the wooden stool that I sat on.“We’re shying away from the problem at hand, we need to get mama out of there before he commits her to further torture like he did to his wife,” she said, with a tone of urgency.Let’s call the police,” I said, recalling the suggestion of Nelly, just before we left the house. That was really our last resort because neither of us cou
Drew’s POVMy gaze swept across the magnificent restaurant space that I found myself in. It was so beautiful and gave off the perfect dining feeling. Sheena and I were back together again and I was working so hard, trying to keep the air as fresh and good as possible. Being with Sheena was walking on eggshells that were very tender and ready to break at the slightest pressure and so I needed to be on my best behaviour. As I walked to the table for which I'd made a reservation the day before, I caught sight of a radiant and glowing woman, the one whose beauty was never rhythmic with her character and personality. She wore a bright smile that heightened my mood and excitement. The date seemed so promising and I was only anticipating how well it would go if I played my cards well of course. As I drew closer, her aura engulfed me, making me smile sheepishly. She did a damn good job on herself before showing up because her beauty radiated like a masterpiece displayed in a gallery.Her
“Hey sissy! I just dropped her off at her house and I’m headed to yours,” I said to Nicole and dropped the call to focus on my driving.I had seen several people die accidentally from using their mobile devices while on the car's steering wheel and I didn’t want to join in the statistics. I was such a mono-tasker, such that I could barely carry out two activities at a time. During my lover boy era, I had countlessly told my girlfriend that I could never cheat even if I wanted to.I was the type of guy who would mix up the names of two girls as well as their personal information. I could be chatting with Chloe and mentioning something from my date with Carla the previous day. It was that bad!I rolled my hands following the steering wheel for a reverse out of Sheena’s street. It was nightfall already and I saw myself passing the night at Nicole’s home because I was so drained from the date.As the thoughts of the gentlemanly display I put up a few minutes ago at the restaurant replaye
May’s POVI had lost count of the number of times my aunt, Brittany scurried in and out of my dressing room to remind me how many more minutes I had left.She was in fact more busy than anyone else in the room. She was the only family my siblings and I knew after our parents mysterious death in a ghastly motor accident. That was the darkest Friday of our lives. Ten years later and we still found every memory fresh in our minds.“Young lady!” She called out to me this time in a more serious tone than the previous times. You have thirty minutes before the priest begins the ceremony.” Anything later than that, your groom would be joined to another lucky lady” and everyone in the room let out a roaring laughter with Sheena being the loudest.My best friend was such a clown and she never missed any opportunity to show it.My aunt had such a great sense of humour but how she always managed to keep her face straight after successfully making everyone erupt into laughter, I couldn't tell.“We
Drew’s POV“Arrrrrrghhhh…” I groaned nastily at the sound of the doorbell. I stretched my muscular body on my king sized bed while contemplating ignoring the visitor or answering them. The hours between four and seven were my absolute best and I could give up my inheritance to gain some good sleep during this time. Not like I had one anyways. My dad Peter was just such a pain in the neck; a well-to-do father with a struggling son.Well it seemed like the person got impatient because this time, they held on the bell for longer, making my ears tingle. “Who the fuck is here to disturb my peace this morning?” I said aloud, a little angered as I hurried out of the bed like a zombie to get the door.I quickly threw on a robe I hung on my closet door on my almost naked body and hurried to the balcony.“Good morning Drew. I must have woken you up. I'm so sorry” said the person standing right in front of me. It was Sheena, May’s bestfriend and the sight of her only increased my rage. Deep do

May’s POVI held Kelly by her hands, looking deeply into her eyes and still in awe of her new look. My sister had changed so much and realizing it brought tears to my eyes. I let them flow freely as I threw my arms across her shoulders, hugging her from the side because of my bump.“You look so different now, in a good way,” I said to her, and she smiled with her eyes covered in tears as well.“Who would have thought Kelly could put on some weight and gain some boobies? Motherhood has been far from easy but I've been loving every single aspect of it,” she said.I looked over to Nelly who was holding her baby. I moved to her and held her from behind, and then I reached for the baby.“Look at you, so gorgeous from head to toe, Harrison is doing you real good,” I said, and she bursted out into a round of laughter.“You can say that again, he’s been so supportive and such a great parent and I'm so grateful for that,” she responded. “I'm so proud of you my sisters, you two made very beau
“Hum! This tastes so good, I exclaimed after taking a bite from the pizza that she brought me home, on her way from work at the store.I have lived with my aunt ever since the incident occurred as the doctor had demanded that I stay under strict surveillance. He also warned against me engaging in any tedious chore, of which my pastry business was one. He said that my body system was already fragile and might not be able to handle any more stress as that could make me stand the chance of losing my baby. I committed my business into the hands of Ray, my assistant and employee and she was so glad to receive it from me for the time being, and I trusted her words and works too.So far, she'd been having great sales and delivering my profits to me and I'd kept my part of the bargain as well.I was already six months gone with my pregnancy and my bump was already protruding, giving me the appearance of a frog, as I had a skinny and petite frame.“You will have to cut down on your consumpti
May’s POVI tried to lift my body from the seemingly soft and bouncy surface on which it lay but I was greeted with a sharp pain from the side of my ribs.I opened my eyes, my sight as blurry as a foggy window. The room I was in was all white and as quiet as a graveyard. I tilted my head to the left side of my bed, trying to check if there was someone here with me and my eyes met with a head bowed, and resting on a table surface just by the side of my bed. I tried to grasp a proper look at the face of the individual who sat there but it was almost impossible, except for the ear and a few strands of grey hair which I could see. I tried in vain again to lift my left arm but I felt a restraining order on it. I shot a glare at it, trying to unravel the cord that bound it and the individual who held it.Lo! I beheld a transparent rope; a closer look at it from the side of my eyes and I realized that it was a drip connected to my arm.I jerked off the bed realizing that I lay on a hospit
“That doesn’t sound like a rat honey, can you check who it is?” I heard a female voice speak from inside the house and I immediately knew it was hers.I was struggling to get myself back on my feet when a light as bright as the sun shone on me. I looked up, squinting my eyes to prevent myself from going blind from its extremely bright rays, but the holder only directed it ruthlessly into my eyes, making me turn them away to the side.“What are you doing here man?” He asked me, taking a glance at my bags, whose items were now littered on the floor. “Who are you?” I retorted, staring at him properly in the face to see if I could recognize him, but his looks did not ring a bell.“Sheena, you have a visitor, see you some other time,” he said, as he opened the dormitory door and walked away, not minding my question or my purpose of visiting.I held on firmly to the rails that held the door and lifted myself with all the strength in me.“I scouted for the items that fell out of the bag and
