Craving For Her Second Chance

begail’s Point of View“Are you sure you are fine?”I took a deep sigh when I heard the words coming from my best friend, Macey Lewis. I know in myself that I am not okay with the treatments I have had in this mansion, but I know that I have nothing to put against it.They owned the house, so it’s their rules. I have to obey them. I have to do it since, in the first place, it’s my decision to marry Selvin Jones.He’s been so good to me for four years. He was there when I had nothing and no one to talk to. He’s been so caring and understanding, so if this is the return, then I should embrace it.It’s my choice; I must stand for it; and also, I love my husband. I left everything behind just to be with him.“Hey, did you hear what I said?” Macey asked, and that made me shoot back into reality.“Yes,” I almost mumbled, before I stifled another sigh and raised the tone of my voice. “Yes, I am fine, Macey. Don’t worry about me.” But inside my head, I crossed my fingers, disapproving of the

Abegail’s Point of View.It’s already forty-five minutes past eleven when I looked out from the window with a deep sigh. Dang it, why Selvin has to come home too late? I really want to talk to him about the argument that had happened hours ago.I want to get out of this mansion as soon as possible. My friends are really willing to help, but still, I have to tell my husband about it. This time, I don’t care if he’ll agree or not, I’ll be leaving soon.I dialed his number again and shook my head when the operator said that the receiver was busy and unreachable. My hands started to tremble as the anxiety began stitching itself on my nerves.Where are you now, Selvin?“Abegail!”I closed my eyes tightly and turned to face the door. With a loud thud, the door was opened by Darwin Jones, Selvin’s biological father.His brows were drawn too deep, almost crashing to each other. His footsteps were heavy with real and strong thuds as he took his way to me.“What did you do?” he asked with his d

Abegail’s Point of View.I didn’t sleep the whole night, I just kept on staring on the ceiling, thinking for a way how to vanish from this point of my life.It’s so funny to think how my emotions were all mixed up. I’d probably die too soon because of these heavy things happening.While gazing up on the white ceiling, my alarm from the phone buzzed. I looked at it and saw a reminder flashing on the screen. “Call Dad” was the name of the reminder. I languidly picked it up to dial his phone number and waited for him to answer.“Hello?” A voice of a lady answered. “Is this the daughter of Mr. Taylor?”Perhaps, it’s one of the caregivers. “Yes,” I answered meekly. “I am his daughter, can I speak to him, please?”“Just a minute, Miss Taylor.”Miss Taylor. The mere name people used to call me. Now, I was called by the name Mrs. Jones, but was I really married? Truth be told, the first weeks of the marriage are fine, but when I started staying in his mansion, I felt like I’ve been played .I

Fourteen or less tequila shots and Selvin felt his world turning around. He took a tight grip on the leather sofa as the other people's eyes gathered to watch him stand on his feet. They were grinning at him. Some were tipsy, some were like him, wasted."Eyoo! Your man's drunk, Kevin! " A man's voice exclaimed. "Would you call his lover, or does he have one?""Let him, he's getting through a bad rocky road now, you know what I mean? It's a problem. " There's a slight pause before the voice goes on. "He needs to unwind from the things that ruin his life!"It was Kevin's voice. It's easy to recognize because it sounded like an uncle with glasses and a bald head.Although he didn't look like it, he sounded like he was one of them.Selvin hiccuped. "F*ck, they humiliated me online!" he snapped and shook his head. "Dang it, I could take everything, but humiliation? Damn it, that's the least thing I was expecting to have. I've been doing my best to protect my reputation as a man but some nu
