Lindsay“Mummy, are we going to the park now?” Jack whined as we reached the pawnshop. “We will,” I told him, as well as Jordan and Jake, who have both been silent since I cautioned them against fighting with each other.“Hello,” I greeted the lady at the pawnshop.“Hi, welcome. How may I help you?” She asked with a smile. “I need to have these sold off; how much do you think I could get from it?” I asked, placing all the jewelry I had gotten when I was married to Engel, apart from the designer bags and clothes I had before. This was the only thing I had left.The lady examined me as she continuously shook her head. “Do you have the receipt?” she asked. “Receipt?” I was utterly surprised, as it didn’t cross my mind that it would be necessary.The lady eyed me suspiciously, wondering if I had stolen the limited-edition items.“I don’t have the receipts. Is there another way we can go about it? Is it just everything that can’t be sold without a receipt?” I questioned, sounding desperate

Engel“Sir, are you sure you want nothing?” Mark asked for assurance, and I shook my head in refusal. “Lindsay’s is an excellent spot for great food; I recommend it.”Mark remained bent on speaking good of Lindsay’s restaurant, “Maybe next time, Mark, I am not hungry,” I admitted though I know I said I wanted to eat but I seemed to have lost the appetite having to see Lindsay again.It bothered me to see her. I never knew Lindsay knew how to cook. I know it is silly because I met her first working at her father’s pub but it differed from her.I understood how she had built herself up; she didn’t need me like Conrad and the rest of my brothers claimed. She would run back to me after a couple of months, but she never did. Meanwhile, here she was the entire time.“Mark, please take us to the other site; Conrad is over there waiting,” I said as I took one last look at the restaurant and forced my eyes to peer through the tinted glass door.It didn’t sit right with me, though I tried to sh

Lindsay“Where are you off to?” I immediately asked Alessia as she came down the stairs. “Here and there,” she replied, not providing a straightforward answer. I decided not to press her, as it wasn’t a big deal; today was a day off for both of us to rest.“Why, what is it?” Alessia leaned on the counter, placing her new Balmain bag on it to relieve herself of the weight. I noticed but said nothing about where she had gotten the money, considering we were both struggling financially and scrambling to pay off debts.I couldn’t respond right away because I was preoccupied with arranging the order I had received that morning.“You did all this by yourself?” Alessia asked, clearly shocked by how quickly I had completed it, especially since we had just gotten the order an hour ago.“Yes, someone refused to help,” I replied.“I thought you were going to turn it down,” Alessia said, her face falling, reflecting regret.“Alessia, have you forgotten that we need money to move out of here?

LindsayThere was only one way out of this situation: to ignore them. There was no need to stay and listen to a single word they had to say. “Sister-in-law,” Conrad called out in a menacing tone, setting the stage for the impending, “How have you been?”I opted not to engage and simply headed home.“Lindsay,” Engel called my name softly, leaving me caught between dealing with both of them. Lazarus lingered near Conrad, whispering something in his ear. “Could we have a moment? I won’t take up much of your time,” Engel said when I refused to turn to him.“Engel is going to lose himself again,” I heard Lazarus murmur.I turned my head and asked, almost coldly, “What is it you want to say?” Engel seemed unfazed by my tone.“This isn’t a good place; we should talk in my car,” he suggested. I shook my head in refusal. “I’m too busy; I need to head home.”“I’ll drive you, and then we can talk,” Engel offered.“I don’t need your help at all, Engel. We can't keep going back and forth on this,”
