JACE

I stared at Jill as she laid on her bed, unconscious. At this point, I was almost dying. I was just so sick of everything going on around me. How could my life become so terrible?
I scanned my eyes to her lap, and I immediately averted from looking at it. I remembered how she bled the previous night, and the thought of that was so scary. Very scary. "Is my mom okay?" I heard Liam's voice from behind me, and that made my heart skip a beat. What would I tell the young boy?
I turned to the direction of his voice, and pulled a fake smile when I sighted him. "Come here boy." I said.
He lurched to me, his eyes already drowned in tears, and his body obviously shivering. "What happened to my mommy?" He asked. "She hasn't woken up since last night."
"She'll be fine," I smiled wider, wanting to make him feel better. "It's ju
Trisha held her red cheek, gawking in disbelief of what I just did to her. But although she looked so shocked, I cared less. She deserved it. She even deserved more. A terrible human like her didn't deserve anything good."You— you hit me?" She stuttered, gulping as her lips moved unstably. "How can you hit me? Have you forgotten who I am? I'm Trisha. I'm your wife. The lady you love.""Love?" I moved closer to her, and yanked at her arm again. "This isn't love. This is blindness. Blindness in the sense that I haven't been seeing all my suffering. As for you, this is lust. Our relationship is filled with hatred, lust, betrayal. It's nothing close to being love." I lamented.A tear dropped from her eye, and she sobbed. "But still, how can you slap me? Have you forgotten that you're a calm and dumb husband who reacts to nothing? Have you forgotten who you are?"I glared harder, shutti
"So is there any other thing I'll need to do?" I asked my lawyer for the second time, grinning at him like I just won a competition.He gave me a small smile, and began to arrange the papers he had in his hands. "Not at all. Since the divorce was done really early, I'll just have to submit it to the court. It'll be finalized by tomorrow morning. And since your wife has also signed it, there'll be no issue at all," he explained.As he said that, my grin grew wider. "So does it mean that I'm officially divorced? Does it mean that I'm no longer married to— to that woman?" I seriously had to reconfirm.He sighed, seeming like I was being disturbing. "Yes sir. You are now a divorcee. You're back to being a bachelor." He assured me."Yes!" I uncontrollably rejoiced. It still felt so much like a dream. A dream that always felt like it wasn't going to come true.&nb
Jill—–As Jace kissed me, tears uncontrollably rolled down my cheeks. How did it happen? How did he get to like me? It all didn't make any sense. It was just too quick. How did it become possible?When I realized my feelings for him, I made sure I didn't express it. I tried so much to not act weird so he wouldn't be suspicious in any way. So how in the world did he get to like me back?With so much force, I jerked my lips from his, and turned away from looking at him, panting so heavily. "What?" He sounded quite flirting again. "You know you can't complain that I'm married. You have no excuse to not get close to me right now. And as a fact, I know that you love me too. Why the pretence?"What the heck? How did he know that?I slowly turned to face him, my eyes filled in tears, and my eyebrows curving into a frown.
Evening had come already. Liam and I had packed every of our things, preparing to leave Jace mansion. Liam had been crying all day, begging me not to leave the mansion, but I didn't agree to that. I told him that we already had enough money to get a big house, but he still didn't care. All he wanted was to remain with Jace.Sincerely, it wasn't like I didn't feel like staying in the mansion. It was just that I didn't know how to apologize to Jace. And even if I apologized to him, what was the probability that he was going to forgive me after what I had said? Especially due to the fact that I didn't say it for the first time. Goodness knew if he'd ever forgive me."Let's go now," I told Liam as I grabbed his backpack, and held his hands.Stepping out of our room, I took a last glance at it, and closed the door gently. And as we walked on the staircase, I carried Liam in my arms, and steered my eyes through the wide
Shanice————"Oh my freaking gosh!" Jill exclaimed over the phone, sounding so happy and agitated. "I'm so so happy. I'm so glad. I just can't believe that I'm in love again. And this time around, I can sense that this love will last for a long time. Jace is not a moron like my old boyfriend, you know?"I chuckled at what she said, walking gently on the street, and crunching on my snack. "I'm so glad for you dear. I just knew that you both were gonna be a couple someday. I sensed it! That's the person that deserves to be with a sweetheart like you.""Oh my goodness!" She burst out in a short laughter, and sighed. "Thanks for your encouragement dear. If you didn't speak to me, I wouldn't have given him a chance. And right now, I feel so good that I listened to you.""My pleasure," I replied to her in a mouthful of chips.
The pain I felt worsened, and I literally felt like dying. What in the world? How could Beth be with my boyfriend? How could they be in bed together? Was that the reason she always complained whenever I spoke about Aiden? Was all her complaints out of jealousy? But how could she? She loved me so much, and I also did. She was like a sister to me. How could she do this to me?"Shanice…" her eyes watered as if she was sorry. "I can—""You bitch!" I hollered at the top of my voice, and smacked my hands across her face. Why would she do such a thing to me? Just why? "What have I done to deserve this?!" I wailed. "What did I do to you?!"She held her red cheek, and reached the side lamp to switch on the room light. Now that I was seeing her face clearly, I felt worse. I almost doubted that I was looking at the wrong person."I can explain all of this. It's not…" she said. Bu
Trisha———I jumped from Xander and I bed, and wrapped the duvet across my naked chest. "Common!" Xander groaned as he laid on the bed, still half asleep. "Why would you take the duvet? Don't you know that I'm cold here?"I hissed at him, and ignored his grunt, heading to the closet of our hotel room to slip some clothes on.Putting the duvet on the towel holder, I grabbed a cotton sweater and knee length shorts, then slipped them on. I reached the hair brush on the dressing table, and brushed my hair gently.Turning to the mirror, I noticed a spot on my cheek, so I applied my skin care lotion on it. As I did that, the thought of how Jace hit me, suddenly jerked back to my senses. And that brought a bad memory to me. A memory I was definitely going to revenge for.Soon, I began to fro
"So what's up with your work?" I asked Jace as I chewed on a burger.He smiled, and glimpsed at me. "It's fine. I've just been kinda lazy at work these days. I seriously don't understand why.""Lazy?" I huffed. "How can you be lazy? You seem to work on your laptop all the time.""I'm lazy because of you." He winked at me.I chuckled, and took another bite of my burger. "I want to tell you something," I announced."What's that?" He still focused on his laptop."Well…" I sighed. "Since my mom is quite better, I want to visit her for two days.""Two days?" He raised an eyebrow at me. "What will you do there?""Hem, I'll help her out. I haven't seen my mom in a month. So why does two days matter?" I questioned him, a little confused.He inhaled hard, and stood up f
