Brittney’s POV I looked at all the dishes I made and it made my heart melt in a certain way. Feeding people has always been a thing of joy to me, till I opened my restaurant. I thought about how hard it was raising Daniella and Victoria. My heart smiled with satisfaction, seeing how far I’ve come. I picked up my phone, it was 1:17. Daniella is probably on lunch break. “Daniella, how’re you?. I’m coming to your office today to bring you food”. I said after dialing her number and she picked up. “Oh hi mum, I won’t be in the office. I have a job outside my office today” she replied in a calm manner which left me a bit unsettled “Oh okay, I’ll pick another date,” I said. “Have a nice day today” “You too mummy, love you” she said, hanging up without waiting for an answer. This is weird and unlike her, she never turns down a visit, she’s always eager to talk to me. I thought she might just be busy and decided to go see my in-laws. The ride there was stressf

Stef’s POV “Hi mom, hope you’re good? I have something to tell you, I’m coming home today” I said before dropping my phone. I tried calling her, but she didn’t answer, I decided to leave a voicemail for her. Things are getting serious with Jenny already, I think it’s time I told my mom. “My darling angel, how are you?” My mom said as she hugged me tightly. I hugged her back “I’m okay mummy, where’s Constance?” I asked. My mom called for her and she ran towards my bag, not me. She opened them then hugged me after confirming I got her what she wanted. “Silly girl” my mom said, turning to Constance. “What did you want to talk about?” she turned to me and gestured for me to sit down. My heart raced, I could hear the sound of my heartbeat. I became skeptical about telling her but I found my courage after a moment of silence. “Daniella and I got divorced” I started. “I have someone else in mind, she’s better than Daniella” I said. My mom looked at me with eyes as cold as

Daniella’s POV “Hi, I called to tell you I’ve gotten home” Gary said, as soon as I answered the call. “Oh, thank you so much for today” I replied. “You need to come to the company tomorrow to finalize the design for our new project, sorry I forgot to tell you earlier”. He said, his voice calm and soft as ever. “That’s not a problem, I’ll come with the final blueprint tomorrow” I replied, grinning inwardly. We talked for a minute before hanging up. ********* “Hi everyone” I said, as I walked into the meeting room, where everyone was waiting for Gary to show up. “Hi,” they all echoed. I took a sit and started arranging the papers I’ll use for my presentation. The weather was nice, the wind was cold but subtle. A paper flew from my stack, as i instinctively reached to grab it, my hand met his. I locked eyes with him and this sent sparks flying. “Oh uhm..Uhmm good afternoon” I said, shivering as I took the paper from him. “Let’s start” he said, as he took his seat.

I felt lonely after he left, but he had to go. I sat on the edge of my bed, thinking of what’s going to happen on Sunday. I looked around and it didn’t look like it was a home for newlyweds. “Hi Mr Gary” I picked up my phone and called him. “I was thinking if you could do me a favour” I added. “What’s wrong Danny?” he asked. My heart dropped when he said it, my eyes lit up and I got happy Instantly. Living in the moment without saying anything. “Hello?” He said. “Are you there?” “Oh yes yes, I am” I replied. “So I was thinking we should spice up my house a little. Since there’s no way I can sell it now till after three months, and we might get visits from the CEO of beauty haven”. “Okay…?” He responded. “The house looks empty, it looks like only a lady lives here. Can you bring your clothes here? Some of them, so it’ll look like we actually live together” I asked. “Okay, I’m coming”. That was easy, I thought he was going to object. “Oh, can you please take a pict

It has been on my mind to collect the house and sell it for a while now, but the contract said I have to live in it for three months before selling it. I agree to live in it for three months under the pretense of being married to Mr Gary. “I’ll leave you now” he said to me. “Oh wait, please come check out the house with me,” I pleaded with him. He agreed to come along. We got there and the house was better than I imagined, it screamed luxury and I wondered how much it’ll cost. I sat on a cushion bouncing to see how soft it was. Mr. Gary looked at me with amusement and smiled with his eyes. “I need to go shopping tomorrow to get a couple items so our house will look more convincing,” I said to him. “I’ll come along,” he replied. I was surprised and happy at the same time. I walked him outside the house, just as he was about to step into his car, we saw the CEO of the beauty company. “You’re the couple that won right?” He asked immediately. “Yes, we are,” My Gary sai

Daniella’s POV It was a ring, a shiny diamond ring. I felt my world crumble all over again, my heart raced and many thoughts clouded my mind. I pulled him out of the building in a hurry till we got to a secluded place. “What the fuck is this? Haven’t you done enough? Why won’t you just let me be?” I asked all at once with utter disgust. “I still love you, I still want you. Jenny doesn’t mind, we can be together” he said, caressing my cheeks. I slapped his hand away and walked out on him. He grabbed my hand and for a second, the clock stopped ticking, everything paused. I felt a surge of emotions and connection. His warm touch, it’s something I’ve missed so much. Tears welled up in my eyes as I thought of how much I let myself get insulted. I turned back to look at him, his eyes held everything warm but I just couldn’t get over the fact that he betrayed me and threw everything we had because of someone he had just met. “Just leave me the fuck alone, I don’t want to have
