At this point, I didn’t know what to think or even do because I was in a damn fix.

It was early the next morning. I was back home with my back to the bed, staring at the ceiling like it had all the answers I needed. My mind was a mess. A goddamn mess.

How could I have thrown my life away just like that? Six years of pain, six years of being stuck in Rose’s trap, and for what? A drunken mistake? A night I couldn’t even remember?

And the worst part? Helen… my Helen… she was gone. Moved on. Raising my kids, your kids, without even telling them who their father was.

I sat up, running a hand down my face. My chest felt tight. Like I was suffocating in my own regrets. This was a disaster. No, this was worse than a disaster. This was hell, and I had built it with my own damn hands.

I let out a breath before answering. “What?”

“Are you good, boss?”

    I drove to Mom's, my heart was pounding furiously no matter how I tried to remain calm. Dan's revelation was a tiny ray of light at the end of the tunnel. But I also understood I was in a vulnerable position. I needed to figure out how to make her hear me out. How to make her do as I wanted.I drove in front of her home and breathed deeply. I glanced over at the place, it looked still. There were no cars in the driveway. I considered where she would be. Then I caught a glimpse of her emerging from the home. She was getting into her vehicle."Hello, Ashton," She exclaimed in surprise once she spotted me. "What are you doing here?"I remained silent for a moment. Then I opened the door and went over to her. She was looking at me with a face filled with confusion. I gazed at her and spoke gently, "I need to see you. It is very important."She stared at me and blinked. "There's no need to rush. I've got a meeting to attend. I don't think I have the time to spare now."I took a brief pau

    I sat there, attempting to clear my head. I gulped the liquor big time. The whiskey burned in my throat, but I didn't care. I was consumed by worrying thoughts, I was attempting to remain peaceful but kept failing miserably. Then, the phone rang. I pulled out the phone and read the screen: Dan's number. I was afraid, I didn't know why but I was. And I didn't think I'd hear from him today.I immediately answered the phone."Hello?" I replied, attempting to remain calm.Dan sounded thrilled on his end. "Ashton! Hi, I have some news. I believe I know how to solve this issue."I instantly sat up, getting a glimmer of hope. "What? What do you mean?" I leaned in closer to the phone.He chuckled, as if he'd solved some secret puzzle. "You're at the bar, aren't you?""Yes, I'm here now," I replied. "Why?"“I need to see you immediately. It is very important, " he answered. I was already getting so excited. "Alright, alright, what is it? I can go in immediately. What are we doing?"He paused

    "Yes, I am, and I will do even more until you put a stop to it," I told her, my eyes blazing with anger.She just stood, staring at me as if I were joking. After a moment, she smiled. It was a small, cold one that did not reach her eyes. She arched an eyebrow and slowly made her way to the white sofa and sat down, crossing her legs."Sit down, please," She said gently.I remained immobile. "No. I won't sit. Is this supposed to be humorous?"She raised her head, her words a little louder. "Ashton. I said, Sit down."I am not a child," I snapped. "You can't dictate to me what to do any longer."She reclined back, tranquil as though I had not just shouted. "Alright. Rise, then. If it will make you stronger. You must hear me, though.""I do not wish to hear falsehoods," I said softly.She sighed as though she was already weary of me. “This isn’t about lies. This is about truth. Do you think I don’t know how you feel? Do you think I don’t recall what it was like being your age? Let me tell

    I was pacing up and down in my mother's large living room, I could not remain stationary. I was thinking a mile a minute, I was tired of the bickering. Tired of being stuck. I gazed at furniture and large windows, yet I was not seeing them. I only wanted her to listen. I then heard footsteps. My mother was descending from upstairs. She seemed unruffled and not anxious about a single thing. She had a long, flowing dress on and her cold, smooth face. She was slowly walking towards me, looking like she was preparing for a match that she was sure she was going to win."Why are you pacing all over my house restlessly?" She asked, her voice soft but not warm.I moved closer to her hastily, looking extremely upset. "Mother," I started. "There is something wrong with you. Why are you behaving this way with me?"Her eyes met mine without any emotion. She was not surprised nor concerned. She merely walked by, ignoring my words and me.I took a few steps closer. "You know, did you hear what R

    I lay in bed staring at my phone. My chest was so heavy, and I feared it would burst at any moment. I had to find a way to get out of this city. I couldn't remain in this city any longer. With all its problems, conflict, and deceptions. I just had to escape.I grabbed my phone and called Anderson quickly. My hands were shaking while I dialed the numbers on my phone. The phone rang about 3 times before it finally went through."Hello, Good afternoon," he spoke quietly into the phone."Hi, good afternoon, Anderson," I said hastily, attempting to appear calm. "How are you? How's everything from your end?"There was a brief silence. "I'm okay here. I have a lot to get done at work, but I'm fine. Why are you calling today? Is something wrong?"I hesitated for a bit. "Sir, that's why I called you. I have to speak to you regarding something.""Okay, go ahead." He spoke quietly. "What are you thinking?"I sighed. "It's due to the contract. I came here to be your actress. You guaranteed I'd g
