Justin's POV"Come on, Uncle, please!" Olivia insists once again on going to Beth's house to see Josh.Tyler asked me to take her out of the house for a while to stop her from asking for her mother. I did what he asked. I don't agree with it at all, but I know he won't hurt her. Tyler isn't stupid enough to do that. Well, actually, he is, if he went to meet Caitlin, but he wouldn't lay a finger on Emily, not again."Uncle!" This time it was David; he pretends like none of that father story was true. He keeps calling me "Uncle," and I don't blame him. I'm not used to it either."Alright," I say; the restaurant was already closed anyway. "Cassie, ask one of the security guys to take you home; I'll swing by later to pick them up.""Okay, just a few bills left for you to close," she says, leaving with the two kids."Bye, you ungrateful brats," I say to them, and they laugh.In a matter of seconds, they vanish, and the silence is great. Honestly, these two are very noisy, they never stop,
Emily's POVNearly two days.Tyler must be going crazy. He didn't sleep here; it bothers me a bit not to know where he slept. After all, how did we get to this point again?I've been trying to stay calm this whole time. I can't afford any more stress. The doctor's orders were to rest throughout the entire pregnancy, especially the first five months.He wasn't treating me poorly; on the contrary, he was trying to get closer. Every time he brought food for me, he attempted to approach me. I didn't let him. This time, I won't swallow infidelity easily.I got up from bed feeling a bit heavy-headed, stopped for a few seconds to let my body adjust, and went to the vanity where I kept the vitamins and the tranquilizer. When I was about to take them, Tyler walked into the room and looked at me in astonishment."What's this?" he asks."Medicine.""You're not sick," he comes over to me and takes the pills from me, "What were you thinking of doing with this tranquilizer?""Seriously? Are you ser
Emily's POV:I couldn't think straight when I saw my daughter lying there on the floor covered in blood. For a moment, I think I just froze, which is why I only snapped back to myself when Tyler was already near her, calling her name. I ran to the floor and could see where all that blood was coming from; it was from her left arm. I tried to keep as calm as possible; no one taught me how to help my own daughter, how to think clearly. The blood was spraying like a broken pipe gushing water."Olivia?" I called her. She was somewhat unconscious but still awake.I looked at the arm more closely; the bullet hadn't entered, it wasn't there, but it had caused enormous damage."Mom, it hurts," she says with a trembling voice."It's okay, my love, you're strong, remember?"So much blood. I urgently needed to stop that bleeding, but I couldn't figure out where it was coming from, from the arm, of course, but it seemed to be coming from nowhere. I remembered something I learned in one of the earl
Tyler POV"WHERE'S THAT SON OF A BITCH?" I enter Ethan's house shouting with rage. The maid was saying something about calling security, as if there were any left alive."Sir, I need you to leave, or I'll have to call the police.""Call the police?" I laugh. "Great, I bet your boss will be the first to get the silver handcuffs.""What's all this shouting about here?" Caitlin appears, and as soon as she sees me, she freezes. "What are you doing here?""I want to talk to your damn brother.""How rude, you shouldn't call someone who will be your family like that," she says, tucking a lock of hair behind her ear."What are you talking about?""When those two leave your life, Tyler, you and I are going to get married, and then we'll all be a family," Caitlin says with a convinced look, completely out of the ordinary."You're crazy. I would never join with people as dirty as you and your brother.""That's not how it seemed when you kissed me that day.""It's really amazing what alcohol can
Rachel POVDoing a favor for Tyler Mitchel. Great way to try to commit suicide. Everything this family touches turns to dust.I managed to sneak in with the cell phone, but the security guards were keeping an eye on me which made me feel a bit insecure, but I continued with the plan. All I had to do was go upstairs where most of the girls who weren't working that night were. To do this, I pretended to feel sick and convinced one of the guards to take me to one of the dormitories upstairs."Is this okay here?" he asks after leaving me on the bed."Yes, it's fine. I'll just rest for a bit and I'll be back to work soon.""Don't take too long."He leaves the room, giving me a very intimidating look. As soon as I was sure I was alone, I opened the door slowly and had to climb another flight of stairs to get to where the girls stayed. I tried to open the door, but it was locked."Is anyone there?" They didn't respond. "¿Hay alguien ahí?""Yes, yes," one of the girls responds.I thank my Spa
Luke POV"For how long are we going to stay here?" I ask."Olivia will be discharged in two days, I think.""No, I meant, here in this city.""You're not staying, I am," Emily says with an authoritative look. "Oh, this family thinks highly of themselves, all of them. They need help but won't yield their heads for anything.""Oh Emily, for God's sake. I'll stay with you, it's not safe to be alone," I say."You'll attract Tyler again." She huffs angrily."He doesn't need me anymore.""He's not dumb.""I know how to throw off your husband," I insist."Luke, I got away from Tyler because I want peace, not just to switch sides. You guys do the same dirty work."I sigh. I know I shouldn't have done what I did, but honestly, I wouldn't leave Tyler not knowing where his wife was. I told him as soon as we arrived in this city and he made me promise to keep Olivia and Emily safe. Meanwhile, he would take care of Pater, well, it's actually Josh who's taking care of him. But okay!"For the first
pov luke"Mommouts Building""Who names a building where people are going to live like that? It sounds like an insult. But it was luxurious. Well-equipped.""As soon as we entered, I found it strange that the doorman didn't greet Débora warmly, but okay. We entered the elevator; her apartment was on the sixth floor. It was well-kept. Too tidy for a woman who dressed up to go out."- "Do you want something to drink?" she asks, tossing her purse onto the sofa and kicking off her heels. She came to talk to me. Insisted. The doorman didn't speak to her. The building is centralized. The apartment is too tidy. Furniture well-cleaned and aligned. "A wine," I reply."She heads to the kitchen, opens a few things, and then closes them from what I could tell by the noise, then returns with two cans of beer in hand." "There's beer," she says, smiling, and tosses one of them to me. She came to talk to me. Insisted. The doorman didn't speak to her. The building is centralized. The apartment is to
Ethan POV"Come on, love, open this door," I plead once again.Jade doesn't respond. It's been days since she's spoken to me properly, and now she's decided to lock herself in the room."Jade, you need to eat," I continue insisting, but she ignores me."I know you like attention, but you can get much more than my shouts if you come out of there.""OK, Emily, I give up. There are so many out there wanting to be in your place…"This is a master move. I pretend to step away from the door, and at that moment, it is abruptly opened."If you can have others, then you can go with them. I'll be happy to go back to my brother's house," she said irritably.I laugh. "Because Tyler will want you back, won't he?" I laugh again mockingly, after all, she had disappointed her own brother for my sake."You're an idiot, Ethan. I thought you had changed, I believed in you," she said angrily....There was a brief silence between us."You know that argument doesn't work with me, right?" I replied, closin
