Lucy’s POV

“So I’m sure you ladies are wondering why I gathered you both today.” My dad tells Amy and me as we sit with him and my mother in the grand living room.

It's almost nine at night, and I had been preparing to sleep, but he sent us both texts saying that we needed to come downstairs so he could talk to us.

“Yes, Dad,” I reply.

“Okay, well. Your mother and I have decided that you probably need your own spaces.”

“Oh, I’m so sorry, sir. I know I’ve overstayed my welcome, and I'm so sorry about that. I'm working hard on getting my own place so I can stop being a burden to you and …” Amanda starts to say, sounding embarrassed, but my dad cuts her off immediately.

“Don’t be ridiculous, Amanda. That was in no way what I meant. We love having you here, as we've come to see you as our daughter in the short time we've spent together, and it will always remain so. I wasn’t in any way suggesting that I wanted you to leave. Hell, if it were possible to have more people live here, it would

  • Goodbye Ex, Go to Hell!   The invitation

    Unknown POVI can’t stop staring at the unwanted invitation that is lounging on my desk right now. Just looking at it causes my heart to palpitate. The invitation reads,Mr. Ralph Lewis and Mrs. Sylvia Lewis humbly request the pleasure of your company at a Celebration, on the 3rd of September, at 4 pm at our estate.Kindly RSVP by August 29th.Dress Code: Cocktail Attire.We look forward to sharing this special occasion with you.Warm regards,Ralph Lewis. It’s been a while since I even thought about Ralph and his dumb wife, Sylvia, but this invitation has rudely reminded me of their existence, and even worse, my own stupidity and failure.In the several months since I first saw Sylvia at that grocery store with a young woman who was the spitting image of her, I’ve managed to convince myself that maybe the lady was indeed her relative, hence the resemblance.After all, it’s been several months since that day, and I haven't heard anything concerning the lady since then.No one has see

  • Goodbye Ex, Go to Hell!   Regrets

    Austin’s POVMy life with Amy has progressively worsened as the days pass.At first, I stubbornly continued to chalk up her horrid behavior to the fact that her hormones are raging because she’s heavily pregnant, but there's no need to live in denial any longer.That woman hates me with everything in her. Living with her in the same house and having to endure all her assaults is incredibly draining.Lucy wouldn't have treated me like this, no matter what the circumstances. I know this for a fact. She is totally different from Amy, who is an ungrateful, heartless bitch!The only ray of hope in my life nowadays is the fact that Nathan Adams reached out to me. The almighty Nathan Adams! Apparently, my plea to his father to save my company worked, and I'm more than thankful that I took the bold step of speaking up.I know I said a lot of horrible things about Nathan to Amy, but the truth is that I was jealous of him. He has his life all figured out, and it’s been that way right from when

  • Goodbye Ex, Go to Hell!   Three reasons

    Lucy's POVToday is the first day of work after our return from our very successful business trip, and I find myself feeling a little nervous as I head into Nathan's office.Will he act as though nothing happened between us on that trip and carry on as we did before the trip?I get my answer as soon as I walk into the office. Nathan looks up from his desk, his gaze smoldering in approval as he looks me up and down.I intentionally chose this outfit today, because I know very well that it makes me look extra sexy, and seeing the approval in his eyes is very rewarding.“Morning, Lucy. You’re earlier than usual today. You look beautiful as usual.” He tells me, his calm, polite words belying the hot look in his eyes.“Good morning, Nathan, and thank you for the compliment. I woke up early today because I went to bed earlier than usual yesterday, which is why I came in this early.” I reply, feeling unaccustomedly shy.Those words are not exactly true. I had rushed to work because I was eag

  • Goodbye Ex, Go to Hell!   The end

    Lucy’s POVI’m totally unaware that tears have been running down my face unbidden, as my best friend recounts her harrowing experience abroad.It isn't until she reaches out a thin hand and gently wipes the tears from the left side of my face that I realize this.“Why? Why didn’t you say anything about him all this while, Amanda? We could have done something about him … made him pay for what he did to you. Hell, we’re still going to do something about him. He can't go scot-free. I just need to tell my parents ... ” I exclaim, my chest hurting very badly.Amanda was the last person who deserved such a thing. Hell, scratch that! No one deserved such a thing.“No, no. There’s no need for any of that. I'm just glad that it’s all over. I’m never going back to that country, and I just want to heal in peace. The last thing I want is to have to deal with him.” Amanda quickly shoots down my suggestion. “But …”“There’s no ‘but’ about it, Lucy, and I don’t want to hear any more of it, please.

  • Goodbye Ex, Go to Hell!   Freedom at last

    Amanda’s POVI kept drifting in and out of consciousness after that. In the moments when I was awake, I tried not to dwell on the pain that engulfed my entire being.It was so difficult to move, to breathe, to do anything at all. I found some more instructions about how to take care of myself that Michael left, and I followed them to the letter, because despite everything that I had been through, I sure as hell didn’t want to die.A week passed, and Michael didn’t show up to check on me. I started to think that he had decided to leave me for dead. It didn’t help matters that my condition was deteriorating by the day. All I did was try to force myself to eat something, even though I had zero appetite and could barely keep anything down, then I would pop painkillers to reduce the pain I was feeling.Soon, I developed a fever. My guess was that I had developed an infection from the makeshift cesarean section that Michael performed on me. Maybe this was what would kill me, and I would ha
