INICIAR SESIÓNErin's povI had never hated silence until today.The roads stretched endlessly before me, cars passing on either side while the city carried on as though nothing had happened. People laughed. Street vendors shouted after customers. Couples walked hand in hand without a care in the world.Meanwhile, it felt like mine had come crashing down in the span of a few minutes. I couldn't remember how long I'd been driving.Twenty minutes? An hour? Maybe more. I wasn't even paying attention anymore. Every traffic light, every turn, every building blurred together until they became nothing but colors flashing before my eyes.Julie.Her face refused to leave my head. The way she'd smiled, the way she'd laughed. The way she'd looked at me after admitting she had taken out the baby as though she'd done something worthy of praise."I did it to save our marriage, darling."I slammed my palm against the steering wheel. Damn it!The horn blasted through the street, startling a cyclist beside my car. H
Lisa's pov The previous night was a night I didn't want to forget. Despite knowing that trouble was somehow waiting for us at home. Erin drove in silence, his fingers tightened around the wheels in ways that scared me.“Are you okay?” I asked him, knowing that his answer would be the opposite but still daring to try.He shrugged. “I don't know. Your mother claims she has a surprise for me. I don't know what she's got cooking in that house. It just scares me to death when I try to think about it.”I nodded, agreeing with him. “Welcome to the club then. You're scared of your wife, I'm scared of my mum.”When we got to the house, a man was leaving the house. He carried a briefcase with him as he left. Erin and I watched as he left, nothing was said. We quietly walked into the house and found mum sitting in the living kike she had been waiting for us. She stood up from the chair and walked towards us.“Ah, just the people I was waiting for.” She turned to Erin and kissed him. Erin didn'
Erin's pov Best night of my life in years. I watched as Lisa slept like a baby, my baby. She looked so innocent that it'd be so hard to ever predict that she was crazy as she was the previous night.The sheets had to stay on the floor because they were so soaked that they weren't comfortable to sleep on anymore. Our clothes would have been left for worse.I laid beside her, watching her sleep peacefully with no care in the world.“Watching me again? You still haven't stopped this habit of yours.” She groaned, half awake and half asleep. Years till now and she hasn't forgotten how I stare at her whenever she fall asleep.“Awake now mhm?” I kissed her, stroking her face. God, she was so beautiful in bed and out of it. It was hard for me to even resist her in this form.“What time is it?” She mumbled, still feeling very sleepy. I reached for my phone to check. “6am actually. We spent the entire night making up.” She had this sneaky smile on her that I loved and I didn't want it to ever
Lisa's povMy own mother was trying to kill me. I would've thought it to be a lie but it really was true. Mum was planning and working on it. That daring look in her eyes when I tried to stop her was clear evidence.Erin had succeed in getting me to talk, though I didn't say much but for him, it was enough. We laid around, talking about everything and nothing until my stomach rumbled and I remembered that I hadn't anything to eat since.I tried to pretend like nothing had happened but Erin heard it already. “Hungry and you're not telling me? Come on, love.”I giggled. “I'm not sure this hotel will have what I want. There's a lot of things that this stomach can carry and I don't think they are here.”Erin moved from the bed to stand with me by the wardrobe. I was trying to put in the clothes tag he had gotten for me.“And what is that?” He had his hand tucked into his pockets, looking like some sexy demi-god but I dare not say that out loud.I shrugged in the attempt to discourage him

Erin's povSomeone was trying to kill Lisa. A fucking piece of shit was trying to take my angel off the face of the earth without my permission. It took some guts for someone to even try to send such text to me.I may have been too liquid for such shit but no one comes close to my Lisa and goes back a full man. I'd be breaking bones. I had called Lisa to confirm her location and when she told me where she was, I didn't think about wasting another second far away from her.Brandon was even more worried. “Dude, you look so tense. Are you okay?” He looked at me full of concern and despite how tight we were, I didn't want to just tell him that someone had sent me a threatening text. Brandon could start a war we'd both be forced to finish right here so I thought it was best if I waited until the smoke fades out.I held his shoulders. “I need you to book a hotel for me and Lisa. We can't risk going home tonight. You know how it is at home.” Brandon nodded in agreement. “Sure thing. I'll
Erin's pov: A part of me knew that I'd regret what I did but I wasn't ready to back down, not now that everything was finally falling into place. Letting Lisa's words rain over me again as I washed my face in bathroom sent icy chills into my bones I'd be fucked if I said I wasn't dying to apo
Lisa's pov:“Come on Lisa. You really think moving away will do any good?” Erin's voice followed behind me as I marched the steps into my room.I had had enough of him and his mind games. How dare he refuse to help me and still expect me to stick around?With how much I had hated him, I was willing
Erin's pov:I had raced to a bar like an animal after I had left Bruce's office. The look on his face stayed permanent in my head, giving me the satisfaction that only I knew how to derive from him.Brandon had called me out minutes after I was gone, so by the time I had gotten to the bar, he had b
Lisa's pov:Erin had shoved Bruce against the wall, his fist folded and pointed in his face to either break a bone or sound a warning.Mum and I stood on the side, watching as both men were ready to throw dangerous punches at each other. So I stepped in and pulled Bruce by the side.His arms automa
