I arrived home, noticing the unsettling silence within. Did Olivia fall asleep without our usual routine? How is that possible? I went to the room, and even Emily was sleeping. I kissed them both and left so as not to wake them.I heard strange noises coming from the service area and went closer to see. Were those moans? Justin's? Wow. He must be with Josh. I stepped back and waited for them to come out into the kitchen. After fifteen minutes, Justin appeared looking a bit embarrassed."Where's Josh?" I asked."Josh?" He looked scared and started to sweat."Wasn't he with you?" I furrowed my brow indignantly."Tyler, I need to show you something in the office." He tried to get me out of the kitchen as quickly as possible, but I refused, feeling suspicious.Suddenly, Jade entered the kitchen from the same place, wiping off smudged lipstick. I clenched my hands on the table, on the verge of exploding. I could feel the veins popping on my forehead, and anger took over me at that moment.
Jade Mitchell's POVMy face was swollen from crying so much; maybe Tyler was right, and I was just a child after all, given all my childish actions. Justin had been sitting on the other side of the door, calling me for hours, and I hadn't even responded. I looked through the crack once again, and there he was."Go away, don't you have those sluts to fawn over tonight?" I shouted loudly for him to hear."Cut it out, Jade. I just want to talk," he said."Talk to the bimbos you picked up last night." After saying that, he didn't reply anymore; I saw that he had moved away. I went back to bed and stared at the instrument I hadn't used in a long time to ease the pain. Would it be wrong to use it again because of a man? Am I really an immature girl? I removed the blade from my sight and lay back down.Suddenly, the doorknob turned, and I saw Justin enter and lock the door again."Get out," I said, turning away as quickly as I could to hide my tear-stained face."No," he said, approaching an
Six months later.Emily POV"I didn't even know our last names were different," I said as we left the registry office after changing my last name to Mitchel."At the time of the wedding, your father insisted that it be different, but anyway, ready for tonight?" Tyler asked, referring to the party that high society would throw, and of course, we were invited.In the last few months, our family has achieved a lot. The transportation company has been profitable, and besides legal transports, we also handle other shipments. With all the borders closed, other traffickers pay us to transport their shipments. And so, our name has been at the top.We have few news about Johanna and Paul; it seems they found out we were getting close and fled to another country, maybe Canada. Caroline also showed no signs of life, and in a way, I was very happy about that."I'm very excited to see all those bitches practically flying over you," I said, getting into the car."Don't worry, I'll only look at one
POV tylerNow you'll learn once and for all not to hit on my man," Emily said, practically launching herself at the woman."Let me go, you crazy..."Emily didn't let her finish and tackled her to the ground. She then started pulling the girl's hair, dragging her outside and stopping on the sidewalk."Now," she mounted the other girl, "you'll respect me, you slut." With her hand firmly in the woman's hair, Emily began rubbing her face on the ground.No one dared to separate the two, not even me. I was proud.Justin and Jade arrived somewhat bewildered. Can't these people wait until they get home?"Emily, you're going to kill her," Jade shouted, not risking getting close to the blonde.Then she hit the other girl's face on the asphalt twice more, leaving her with several cuts. Emily stood up, wiping the blood from her hands."And next time, I'll run over you with a tractor," she said, glancing over her shoulder. Upon realizing the crowd around, she twisted her face in disapproval. "Let
JADE POV"I like you," Justin says, intertwining our hands."Why don't you love me?" I insist, confused, pulling away instantly."Why do you have to ruin this moment?" he says angrily."Why can't you just love me?" I say with tears in my eyes. "Enough," I add, taking him off me and grabbing his clothes scattered on the floor. "It's always like this. You come, have sex with me, and leave," I say, wrapping the sheet around my body and standing in front of him."But I'm also faithful and respectful to you," he says, puffing, as if that's enough."Look, I need someone willing to be with me and not give me the impression that it could end at any second," I say, swallowing my tears and responding seriously, shrugging, trying not to care."What do you mean by that? Are you breaking up with me, is that it?" he asks incredulously."Ending, Justin? How could I end what never existed?" I shrug, trying to seem like I don't care."What do you mean it never existed? I've been sleeping with you for
Emily POV"AAAAAAAH BAAA BAAA!" I woke up to Olivia's screams, realizing she was kicking her father's face and laughing about it. What a heavy sleep, huh? Tyler didn't seem to mind the kicks."Let your dad sleep, Olivia!" I turned her with my feet down, and she offered her body to me, smiling. Such falseness, when dad is sleeping, I'm useful, right, Emily? She's not even a year old yet, remember that! I tried to remind myself to be gentler with my daughter. I picked her up and placed her in the playpen in our room, then went to the bathroom, and as expected, she started screaming. A good way to wake up Tyler. I brushed my teeth quickly, tied my hair, and went to tend to the crying baby."What time is it?" Tyler asked me sleepily."Almost eleven, are you going to the company today?" I asked, picking up Olivia and nursing her."I'm obliged to, I have a meeting with Manuel. He wants me to take his son to work there, and I'm already late," he said, stretching in bed."Manuel Marvin? His s
Tyler POVEmily looked at the phone and then turned pale. She glanced up at the large glass window, handed me the phone, and left, closing all the curtains in the room.I looked at the screen and felt my blood drain from my body. I took Olivia out of her position and brought her close to me."They're back," Emily said, trembling in fear."Don't worry; you two are safe," I tried to calm her, but it was nearly impossible since I also shuddered at the content of the message."Calm me down? I'll pretend I didn't hear that," she said, sitting next to me and watching our daughter sleep peacefully.I didn't say anything to avoid an argument and called the house security, asking them to make sure everything was okay."I'll wait for them to give me an update, and I'll have someone from here take you home.""Why do you want to get rid of me so quickly?" she asked with that angry and suspicious look."If you haven't noticed the gravity of the situation, I have. I want my daughter at home because
Jade POV"You're Tyler's sister, aren't you?" The hot secretary said, offering me a receptive smile. "He warned that you would come.""You mean Mr. Mitchell, right?" I smiled back."Of course, I apologize. You can go downstairs now; you'll be introduced in a few minutes. It'll be lunchtime, and the employees will be there.""Thank you."I had to go down four floors to reach the damn bar. There was a small stage set up, and a guy was waiting for me. He pointed out the dressing room if I needed anything and told me to hurry up.I stepped on stage, and the place was already crowded. Here we go; I decided to sing a song that best fits my life right now."Have mercy on me,Take it easy on my heart.Even though you don't mean to hurt me,You keep tearing me apart.Could you have mercy on me?I'm a puppet on your string.And even though you got good intentions,I need you to set me free.I'm begging for mercy, mercy.Begging, begging you, please, baby.I'm begging for mercy, mercy.Oh, I'm b
