Faith's POV

"Ma'am, Mr Campbell is really interested in our new project and is planning on taking us on. Do you want me to book an appointment with him?" My PA asked while I signed some files. "Yeah and make sure it's after 2pm as I'm really busy before that" I said with a calm tone. "Sure Ma'am. Anything else you want me to do?" she asked softly. I closed my file and looked at her, "No....you can leave for the day...Thank you Lily" I said without any expression. She gave me a nod and left the room. 

I continued reading a few important files until I heard a knock on the door. "Come in" I raised my voice. I heard the d

"Fai....sweetheart...why is your door locked honey" my mom knocked on the door, speaking with a concerned voice. "Fai....honey are you okay?" she spoke again but I ignored her, hugging my legs as I stared at the images. "Fai....FAITH HONEY..." she raised her voice in worrisome and started to bang on the door. I slowly got up from my bed and unlocked the door, opening it for my mom who stared at me with concern. A sigh of relief left her lips as quickly hugged me. "You made me so worried honey...why was your door locked?" she asked now breaking the hug. I faked a cough and looked away "um...sorry mom...I probably did it without noticing...sorry to make you worried" I said quietly. She stood there in silence, studying my face.

    3 years agoFaith couldn't stand Atlas with Melissa anymore. She thought she would die of an heart attack due to the continuous heart breaks she had suffered. She wanted to be selfish...she wanted Atlas back and for that she needed to win him...she needed to get his attention on her but seeing how much hatred he had for her and how he insulted her caused her to cancel her plans and try and move on from him which was really hard for her. The reason why it was so hard for her was because Atlas made it hard. If she wanted to date someone then Atlas would intervene acting like his old possessive self. Even though he was married he acted like Faith was his wife rather than Melissa which confused her. She hated how much control he had over her...how he would weaken her but she needed to stay strong. She felt hurt seeing him being so loving towards his wife but wouldn't allow herself to date or even go out with her male friends she made wh

I was heading over to the park and purposely chose to go late but now I regret it as this piece of shit was now texting me again and again annoying the crap out of me. I finally reached the park and parked my car outside. I wore my sunglasses and stepped out of the car, walking towards the park. I felt many eyes on me and rolled my eyes at the guys who were checking me out.Fucking assholes.I trailed my eyes around the park and stopped when I saw a tall figure helping a child on a swing. I sighed and slowly approached them standing behind the two. "Mommy...Mommy" the kiddo yelled, recognizing me making me want to cover my ears.

She can hide her feelings how much she wants too but she can never hide my badass angel...her kind heart...her beautiful smile....oh how long it has been since I've seen a smile on that angelic face of hers.I dreamt of

I could hear my heart shatter seeing her in someone else's arms who is not me. I seethed in anger while I watched him kiss her forehead. I wanted to grab him right away and knock the shit out of him for touching my girl...my woman....my angel."Why did you come here?....I was going to come over to yours" she said with her sweet voice.

I smiled at that thought, she will look beautiful in this dress.I chuckled to myself as I held the dress in my hands entering her room. I watched her sit next to the window with a blank face, her arms hugging her knees. I decided to take her chains off for today as I now have cameras all over the house. I even have a tracking device on her so I will know where she is if she ever tries to escape me again."Look what I have for you my angel....isn't it gorgeous?" I asked with excitement.

"Sir please...you need to calm down or else it will affect your health" the nurse said. The doctors helped me lay on my bed as I looked down in pain and anger."How...how long have I been here?" I asked quietly. "Over 6 months" he said. I snapped my head up at him, "6 months?" I asked in disbelief. I ran my hand through my hair. Damn 6 months?....where is my Faith?.

I closed my eyes in pain and my stomach growled again. All of a sudden the door opened and a delicious smell hit my nose as my stomach rumbled again."Someone's hungry" a voice chuckled. Atlas came in with a tray of food. "I'm sorry my Angel for coming late but I needed to punish you. By the way the kids are doing well, they both miss you a lot, Leo doesn't go a day without asking about you" he said making me secretly smile. At least they are safe.He sat beside me and stabbed the fork into the pasta. He lifted it up to my lips and I opened my mouth to eat. I wanted to moan out as the pasta was amazi

I need to contact my family....just one call and it could save my children's life. "Not sleepy?" Atlas asked in his husky voice. I stayed silent, my lips in a straight line. He rubbed his eyes and sat up. I felt his gaze on my face but I continued looking at the ceiling."Angel...why won't you talk to me?...It's been 2 days and you haven't uttered a word....I'm dying to hear your voice" his voice shook weakly like he was about to cry. I heard him sigh as he bent his forehead against mine but I quickly snapped my head to the side feeling disgusted by his touch.
