April 2017It was my wedding day! it was! But where was my husband? I had been at the altar for hours and my husband was nowhere to be found. Mrs. Alicia my mother-in-law had excused herself outside to call him times and times again but he did not show up. Despite all this, the smile on my face could have been compared to the light coming in through the glass windows, I had dolled myself up for this wedding and despite the fact that my legs were killing me due to the 6-inch heels I was wearing, I refused to let anything spoil my wedding. I looked to where my parents were seated, they smiled without a care in the world, it was expected since they were getting rid of a nuisance. They had made this fact clear to me since I was young and when the first opportunity presented itself, they thrust me into the arms of Alicia Valero. It wasn’t a bad deal to me, Alicia was lovely. She loved me even more than my parents but it was her son that was her problem. I had wanted to back out after our f

Simon’s povThe sound of a door slam startled me from what I was working on; I looked up and saw my fuming mother. ‘Oh, I guess it’s my door that slammed then’ I thought,She stormed over to me, ‘what is this I hear on the news about you, what is this I hear you did to Tina’ she says,‘Mum, you know better than to believe everything you see on the TV’ I told her and went back to what I was doing on my laptop.She slammed my laptop shut and yelled at me ‘Tina told me what happened, she told me you dragged her to a gynae to find out if she was pregnant for your baby, I scoffed at her words ‘so Tina has made a habit of talking to you about me’‘Do you expect her to suffer in silence, do you know how hard I tried before I got her to open up to me’ she adds.‘When I saw the article about you two in front of a gynae, I thought I would be expecting good news only for me to find out about how you threatened that you would have made her get an abortion had she been pregnant.’I stood up and

August 2023Tina’s povThe sound of the pitter patter of little feet filled my ears and immediately, my heart lifted and a smile spread over my face.My son, Ajax, jumped on my bed and began to drag my arm ‘mum, mum, get up, its morning already’I turned and hugged my son fiercely; he was my pride and joy, the only positive from my marriage to Simon.Just thinking of the fact that he was just a “false negative” away from been aborted made me hug him tighter.‘Mum, you’re squashing me’ he said and wiggled himself from my grasp.He resumed dragging my hand ‘it’s a Monday morning and you’re still in bed, at this time!!’, he screams out the last part and a laugh erupts from me.I blinked one eye open, the sun streaming through the crack in the curtains showed that the sun was well and truly up.I spring up from the bed carrying Ajax with me; he wiggled out of my grasp and ran out of my room.I drew the curtains open and took a breath of fresh air, ‘I have a busy day today’ I thought, ‘I h

I stare at my phone for a moment, then a moment extra to sound of my heart beat rushing through my ears, it was Trove, the last company I applied to, although it was small compared to the other companies, it was my last hope.I squint my eyes at the text message, I didn’t want to open it and see another sorry Miss Valentina.Bella snatches the phone from my hands, ‘you know, staring at your hone screen for years won’t make the message read itself'.I held my breath as her eyes flitted over the message.‘Wow, you got it, you actually got the job'‘What!’I grab the phone from her hands and read the message out loud.‘Dear, Miss Valentina Berkeley, we are happy to inform you that you have passed the third round of application and are selected as an employee of Trove company, Congratulations' , I squealed and did a happy dance as I read the message over and over.‘Shhh, you’re going to wake Ajax' As if hearing his name Ajax's eyes blinked open 'are we home yet'.‘No sweetie, go back to

I locked eyes with Mr. Ajax Jordan, my coworker.‘What was he doing in an elevator in my apartment building’ I thought,Confusion mars his features as he looks at me, I step into the elevator with Ajax’s palm held firmly in mine.I go to press the floor of my apartment but I see it has already been pressed with the red light illuminating it.After the brief confusion that passed over his features, he went pressing his phone.I breathed easier and adjust my face mask praying for the ding of arrival so I could escape to the safety of my apartment.‘Miss Tina, is that you?’‘He recognized me’, I felt the oxygen in the elevator drop by half and I itched to rip the mask of my face just to breathe easier.I ignored him, hoping he would drop it.Wide chestnut brown eyes move closer staring into my eyes, ‘Miss Tina? Is that not you, I mean your clothes look familiar.’I take a step away from his wide curious eyes and bob my head a little in acknowledgment.‘Sorry, I got into your personal spa
