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
Like the confused person she was, she kept staring dumbly at me. It was so annoying because I didn't have enough time to keep staring at her. Maybe I had to break the silence first."How are you doing?" I kept my sneer, and walked to her front."Wh— what are you doing here?" She asked, avoiding eye contact with me, again.I stretched my hand for a handshake. "Hi. It's nice meeting you. You must be Jill's friend, right?""Hey." She hesitated before accepting my hand. Well, if she accepted it, I could still try to cajole her to work with me."It might seem quite weird to see me in such a place," I said, then she turned to me."It's not weird. Jill told me that you aren't with your husband anymore. She's with him now." She informed me, which kind of made me angry. Wow, so Jill was truly with my husband?"S
JillMassaging Mrs. Flores palm, I grinned at her and she did the same. "It feels like a dream," she said, probably for the seventh time.I chuckled at that, and said nothing, taking a glimpse at Jace who sat on the other side of her bed, staring at his mom like his life depended on her."Can you just forget about that now?" He requested, joking. "I don't trust you when you speak like this. It's either you end up teasing me for it, or you overthink on all of this.""Oh my boy." She sighed, and tapped his arm gently. "You seriously don't know how happy it makes me feel to know that you're free from that girl. She was a terrible bondage, you know? Thinking about her dominance over you always made me bitter. I constantly prayed that you'd get rid of her one day. God heard my prayers. I'm just so happy.""We're all happy," he told her, and glanced at me. "I gue
Trisha———I watched as Beth spoke to the Dylan guy over the phone. Things were starting to get really good for me. I couldn't help but keep on smiling at how foolish she was, and how smart I was."The security is quite tight over there," she informed him, sounding quite bothered for some unknown reason. "I don't know how you'll do it but try to disguise yourself. The social media says that there'll be a dinner party there tonight. So I don't know if you can pretend to be a worker or something."I simpered harder, and bit my lower lip to prevent myself from bursting out in laughter. So she was sensible enough to tell him to disguise himself? Kudos to her! What a foolish friend she was. Betrayal was one of the reasons I had no friends. I didn't trust them at all. Due to the fact that I used to deceive my husband, I always had great fear that if I had a frien
"Jill," Jace called for a second time, and I hesitated before turning to him. What could I do at this point? I obviously couldn't pretend like I knew nothing about what Dylan was saying, and I also couldn't say "yes" to it."Yes?" I lowered my head, avoiding eye contact with him."Is this true? I mean, how can he be Liam's father. You once told me Liam's father is dead," he sounded angry and shocked.I swallowed hard, and turned to him. "I— I told you I want to speak to you. So please can you—""I asked you one question," he interrupted me as I spoke, frowning already. "Is he speaking the truth?" He asked again.I moved closer to him, and blinked away the tears that filled my eyes. "C— can you please dismiss everyone first? I don't want anything to cause and havoc here." I whispered.He shut his eyes, flared his nose to exp
