The One He Never Put First. Unlikely beings.
She was doing great. The best she'd ever been. Her whole life she'd always felt like she'd had to answer to someone, not fully living for herself. It was never about her, it was always about making someone else happy. That was not the case anymore.Although Kayla loved her mother dearly, she'd always felt the older woman could get a little overbearing and controlling at times. But for the most part, she was a loving mother who only wanted the best for her daughter, of course Kayla understood this. It had been hard for her to comprehend what she'd done to her for a while but she knew her mother meant well, she was only human."You're new here right?"Yes she was.Kayla had moved to a completely different town, a smaller town. Away from everyone and everything. Even though she'd finally gotten over her past, it didn't mean her past got over her.What does that mean? Well, Kayla's societal image never quite recovered since the trial. Everyone pretty much saw her as a gold-digging drama q

"Where is she?"Mrs. Sinclair was done with the man who stood facing her. He'd brought her family nothing but misery and she'd hoped to never see him again.She didn't know where her daughter was but she knew the man standing in front of her had something to do with it."I swear to God Aaron. I will take you out of this world with my own bare hands."She'd meant every word. She was no murderer but she was ready to be one for her daughter. She would spend the rest of her life in prison but that didn't matter to her, her daughter did.She was livid. It had been two whole days since the younger girl had gone to see a psychologist with the man and she'd never made it back home.She'd been against the younger girl doing the sessions in fear that she might change her mind about divorcing him, but she'd known they were necessary for the divorce proceedings.But when she didn't make it back home that day, she'd figured he'd done it again, taken her from her.She'd been heartbroken at the thou

*Flashback*'I'm pregnant.'The words had cut like a dagger.They were the exact words she'd wished more than anything she could say to him but she was never able to. Being a mother was a privilege she simply was not blessed with.She'd remembered the things she'd had to go through just to give him the one thing he'd wanted more than anything, a child. She'd even ended up sleeping with someone else in hopes she would be able to bear a child but of course that ended in a divorce that broke her heart to the core.Yes she'd cheated on the love of her life but it was for their marriage. It was so she could give him a child. She'd seen the sadness in his eyes every time the tests would come back negative and she'd wanted more than anything to make him happy.'Kayla, that is so exciting,'It was. For her.She'd always imagined how happy they'd be at the news, how he would look at her with so much passion knowing she'd given him his dream. He would love their beautiful offspring and life wo

Kayla couldn't help her attraction to older men, it was just innate. She'd also never thought she'd ever be able to look at another man again as her husband was the only man she'd ever craved. But she'd now been separated from the man for well over three months and she'd admittedly been craving a man's touch.She'd planned to wait when it came to relationships as she wasn't ready yet and she was technically still married but surely she could do other things right? She was sure Aaron had already started seeing other people at that point. It had been months. Plus the man was practically obsessed with making love, he wouldn't survive."Hi Kayla... are you there?"Her trance was disturbed by the older, sweet lady she'd come to love waving her hand on her face."Yeah sorry, I'm. uh - Kayla." She'd said to the man who stood next to her employer.She didn't know how much she needed to get laid until that moment. Lixon Falls had attractive men but she'd admittedly never found herself awestruc

She'd never in a million years imagined it would get to that point. She'd never seen him so furious in all her many years of knowing him. The man was beyond angry, he trusted no one and the world had become his enemy. He'd used to be the opposite of that, he'd loved people and he cared about everyone, strangers too. Yes, he was sometimes rough around the edges but he'd never had ill intentions towards anyone. He was a known humble man, but that was sadly not the case anymore."Please. I really need to see him." Britney found herself pleading with the guards for the umpteenth time that afternoon. She wasn't allowed in and it hurt her to the core. But she desperately needed to speak to him, before it was too late.She'd thought the man was joking when he'd said 'Get out.' but she'd been largely mistaken. He wanted nothing to do with her or any of the other ladies and he hadn't been shy to let them know."It's about his wife."She was desperate and she knew that would trigger them. She w

"How old were you?""16 when I met him but we didn't do anything until I was 18.""Did he Uhm... force y...""No no, not at all. If anything I practically begged him." She'd said remembering the day like it was yesterday.'Please. I can't take it anymore. Please Aaron.' She'd practically cried. She knew he wanted her just as much as she wanted him. She couldn't take the waiting anymore, the sexual tension drove her mad.It had taken him a while but eventually, he'd given in."Oh. How old was he?""He was 35 when we met."The questions were getting a bit too judgmental but she'd understood why he was asking them. She probably would've too.Their relationship had been frowned upon pretty much since they'd met and at some point, they'd gotten used to it, It didn't phase them anymore.And as much as Kayla was over her soon-to-be ex-husband, she never wanted anyone to think he forced her into anything. The relationship was consensual on both sides. He never took advantage of her."But was

*Flashback*Third time wasn't the charm so the fourth time had to be right? Well that was what he'd told himself. He was never one to give up so he wasn't going to do that. He was going to keep trying.Besides, Sandra was great. She was nothing like the others. She was confident, she knew what she wanted and wasn't afraid to go for it. She was sassy and took no nonsense. He'd be lying if he'd said he hadn't found that attractive. Not to mention she was easy on the eye too.She'd had striking features that made you do a double take. When she walked into a room people stopped what they were doing to simply admire her beauty and the way she walked like the world was her platform. He couldn't help but feel attracted to her energy, her aura. She was the kind of woman you'd want to have by your side.So,"How hasn't anyone swept you off your feet?"They'd been sitting having dinner at a very fine restaurant she'd strongly recommended. He would've taken her anywhere. It was beyond him how s

He didn't care anymore, he didn't want to know who exactly was at fault. The simple fact that they'd even thought to harm his wife and his little boy who was now in heaven was reason enough. Aaron had never felt so much rage in his life. The people whom he would've given anything for, the people he'd thought cared for him, how could they?"Aaron please...""Aaron no.""Aaron!"He'd ignored their cries. He was tired and his heart hurt so much it felt numb."Do it."He'd simply said to his ally then turned around to leave ignoring their cries getting louder.----"She's having a baby.""What?""I said!! She's having a baby! She's damn pregnant!""Shit... that means.""Everything will be ruined. Yes!"That had been the worst thing that could have ever happened. It was bad enough that the man had changed so much because of his wife, now she was pregnant. They knew that would change everything.They never had to worry about much before as they knew the man didn't have a biological child th

The One He Never Put First. Conclusion.
To truly understand someone, you have to go back to their past, what they'd been through.I, just like the majority of humanity have been taught that one can either be good or bad. That it can either be black or white, yes or no. But I think that's not true.I think that people do really bad stuff sometimes, but that doesn't necessarily make them bad people. It just makes them well... human.I also think that mental illness is a part of it. When you've been hurt so much, you start to expect it. And when you've hurt people so much, they start to expect that from you - so you give them what they expect.Of course that's not the 'mental illness' portion of it. I just think that our minds are really fucked up.It's been a year.The 'Aaron Miller Massacre' news took the world by storm. There wasn't a news channel that didn't cover the story, nor a person who didn't speak of it.When I'd heard about what had actually happened, I was shaken beyond words. Literally.See after they'd removed h
The One He Never Put First. I'm so sorry.
'My dearest Kayla,If you're reading this it's because I'm either serving life in prison or my life has been taken from me.I know I haven't been the greatest partner and I'm sorry that I'll never get a chance to make it up to you. You were right, I should've put you first. You were the most important person to me and I should've shown it.I'm writing this with so much sorrow in my heart because I've been utterly betrayed, by the people I'd thought had my back. Because of that, I've had to do some things you wouldn't be very proud of, things that have either gotten me in trouble with the law or got me killed. But I would've done that and more to make sure you're safe.I put my trust in people I thought were my family when I should've considered you family to start with. You were the only person who truly cared about me, you were the only one who loved me. I'm so sorry I didn't realize that sooner my love.It's too late now but for what it's worth, I wish for you to know that I was wor

"Oh don't act all mighty, you never liked her. You just acted like you did so he doesn't get rid of you.""Excuse me? We were friends. She trusted me.""Oh yeah but I bet you wanted to take her place so bad, didn't you? She was a constant and painful reminder that you lost it all. That he was finally over you and you would never get that perfect life back. You cheated on him and you wish you could take it back.""Shut up! Shut the hell up, you don't know what you're saying."Britney heard herself shouting at the girl who stood in front of her. She was not one to lose her cool but she hated how the girl always ensued the worst out of her.Yes she'd always regretted cheating on Aaron but she'd long gotten over that. It was a long time ago, he'd since gotten married plenty of times."I gave up on any kind of future with him when he'd gotten married the first time. You're just looking for drama where it doesn't exist.""Oh but does it not? Sweet little Britney... Everyone's best friend. I

"What did you do?"He felt his heart beating a mile a minute. Somehow he knew what he'd done but he'd hoped otherwise."Boss, you know this was for the best. It needed to happen."He had to be dreaming, there was no way it was real."Mike...""They've done nothing but cause you pain and heartache...""Mike... no..."He was not one to cry but the tears had taken on their own life because they'd started pouring out without his permission.Words failed him as he looked at the man he'd trusted with his own life."Get them to talk, that's all I said."He'd heard himself say barely audible. His chest was weighing heavy on his heart, he couldn't breathe."I'm not the enemy here boss. They've done nothing but...""That doesn't mean they deserve to die!" His calm betrayed him, he felt himself shake as the words left his lips.Who was he to decide their fate? That was exactly the reason he'd always kept a distance when it came to the people who'd worked for him, he'd always remained stern becau

"Gosh, I love it here."It was the lake, the trees, the breeze. But it was mostly the fact that they were alone that made her love it so much. It was peaceful."Yea."Kayla agreed as she closed her eyes feeling the wind blow against her skin softly. She'd missed such simple things in life."So...""So...""How's everything going with you-know-who? I've barely seen you the past couple of days."Elisa asked ensuing a blush from the other girl.Their friendship had transcended through the weeks and they'd somehow become closer each day."Well, nothing's official yet. I like him but I'm taking things really slow. I don't wanna jump into anything too quickly y'know?"The truth was that she was afraid. She'd done the whole falling in love thing and it didn't quite work out for her."It's been months Kay, the man clearly likes you."It was true and she knew it.He'd planned to stay for the Christmas holidays but decided he'd stay around a bit longer to help out his mother. Kayla knew he'd pa

*Flashback*"What do they have on her?""Uhm... Mr. Miller. Maybe let's not get too focused on the details. It...""What do they have on her?!!"They knew he was the wrong person to play that game with. He'd always preferred people to be straight up with him, no beating around the bush."Uh...""Talk Brandon! Use your words!""Fingerprints! They found her fingerprints on the door handle."Aaron felt his world shatter as the words of the man who stood in front of him registered. It can't have been, his ears must've been playing tricks on him."They think it was when she went inside to take her belongings after the accident. They claim she didn't want her to be found so she Jane Doe'd her.""Sir, they're making it look like she wanted to kill her because of jealousy. It would be a miracle if we won the case...""Shut up! Shut the hell up!"He knew that and he needn't have said it. They'd had so much evidence against them and there was no way the verdict was going to go in their favor.
