~Scott~All these while, I've been wallowing in pain trying to convince myself that I can move on and heal from the pain she was causing to me. Boy, I was wrong. It only made me love her more. Every night I go to bed thinking and trying to imagine what was going on behind her closed doors. I tried to punish her but ended up punishing myself till I was cornered. I stared at the woman whose finger I was about to insert a ring. She's too good to be ruined by me, if we get married today, lives will be destroyed because my happiness lies in another woman. My gaze travelled to Stephen for the umpteenth time who is all alone, Avery and our daughter were not in sight. I could see that he was trying to hide something and I persisted. He gently raised his hand and copied a movement of something that flies. A plane! That explains the luggage she was packing when I called Allison that day and also why she allowed me to see my daughter without me asking. And while I was dressing, they were o
~Ashley~I stood back watching the two speak in silence. They still had that father and daughter bond that they shared and I couldn't help but sniff. Wiping my tears gently, i approached them. Our flight is in the next hour and I wanted to be out of here before Scott's wedding starts airing. The sight might break me. Stephen and Allison shared a long embrace and I could see the tears forming in their eyes. Soon, they parted and began walking to me. This was it.. everything will fall in place as soon as I leave with my daughter. Everyone will be happy and live their life to the fullest. "I'm sorry that I couldn't give you both the life that I promised you" Stephen murmured handing Allison to me, he smiled at us but I could see the pain hiding behind that smile. "No, it's not your fault Stephen. You filled that empty spot in our lives with your presence and Allison and I can never repay you-"Repay me by staying. Don't leave-I shut my eyes briefly. If it were in my power, I'd have
~Unknown~I bowed slightly as I watched her step in. She was furious and barely acknowledged my greetings like I was even present there. "She isn't suffering enough! Everything has fallen apart and she still dared to smile!" She began pacing around pulling her study, every cell in her body screamed rage and fire. What else does she want? The lady who we were trying to get rid of has lost people closest to her and more. Those amounts of losses are enough to make people go insane or fall into depression but she still stood tall despite all that she has faced. "She's still smiling because of her daughter right? I'll cease that smile for good!" I was startled. Were we going after the kid now? My greed has trapped me in this mess and I'm not sure how to get out without getting killed. I watched her turn to the phone ringing on her desk. She picked it up and raised it to her ear. "She's still alive because I need her to be. I want her to watch everything she loves disappear before I
~Avery~As promised, Scott sent the divorce papers to me through his lawyer the very next morning. The lawyer promised to come pick up the papers in two hours and my signature must be present on it. This was the fourth time I'm rechecking every clause just in case he left a clue for me like last time but I found nothing. His signature was already there and my real name was present too. All that remained was for me to sign and everything we both shared in the past will be over for good. My pen felt so heavy to lift up over the papers. I wanted to cry, scream and most probably curl myself up into a ball and wail even louder. The lawyer will be here anytime soon and these papers have to be signed before he gets here. Finally, I lifted my pen over each paper to put an end to everything. Mum was by my side to scoop me into her arms the second I started crying. Everything was gone, I came to the country with happiness and I'm gonna leave broken and dejected. This wasn't what I had pl
~Avery~All I could do was to keep a tight smile on my face as Scott and Allison did a little interaction at the other end of the room. I could see a bond forming between them, the one I denied him of years ago. He barely glanced at me all these while. The wrong person was the one giving me her full attention. I was this close to splashing this hot tea on her face. "You have a beautiful daughter. She also looks like her father" I forced a smile. Hell yeah! She ought to be beautiful like her mother and look like her father because she was created with love. "Yeah." I'm not sure if Scott's wanna-be wife was too slow or just naturally foolish to keep her mouth shut despite my one word replies to all of her questions. "I don't know if he already told you, but we do hope that you're gonna be present on our wedding day" I stared at her feeling a little confused. "Don't get me wrong, I just feel that we should all get along well since we'll be co-parenting soon" The more she speak, t
~Stephen~She wasn't taking my calls. None of the sisters wanted to speak to me. I'm caught up in the middle feeling so confused about everything. In just one day, I lost everything. And the most painful part was that I couldn't fix it no matter how hard I tried to do so. With Stella nowhere to be found, it made matters worse. I have a lot of questions for her. A lot of why's.Only her could give me a detailed explanation of what happened last night. I recalled being at the bar and this morning, I'm naked under the sheets. "Any luck in finding her whereabouts?" I questioned one of my men over the phone. We've been searching for Stella for close to two hours and not a single thing has been heard from her at all. "She checked in at a hotel earlier today but she's gone" My eyes shut tightly. Was she just embarrassed to see me or was it guilt eating her up? I don't even know what to think in a situation like this. "Try to find out where she is at the moment. She couldn't have gone
