Mag-log inRAE I angrily shook her hand off my shoulder and she let out a little chuckle as she walked away.“Whoa,” Jack walked out of the elevator at that time “Are you okay? What happened?” He asked looking down at meI didn’t say a word to him, just dumped my bag on the floor and walked towards Rickon. “Let’s talk” I was ahead of him to the door of his office waiting for him to open up“What’s going on” I could hear Jack whispering behind me“You are not going to open?” I turned to him when he didn’t move from where he was standing“Fine then let’s talk here” I folded my hand over my chest trying to keep my voice down“What did she say to you?” I asked“What was it about?”“Why was she here? What did she want?”My heart was thudding so hard in my chest, I didn’t like the fact that he acknowledged her enough to have a conversation with her or whatever it was. She didn’t look pissed when she walked out of his office and if she were dismissed she wouldn’t have had a smile on her face.Also,
I walked over to my table took my seat while she watched me closely. I clasped my hands together over the table waiting for her to say something. “Is this how you treat your guest?” she asked“Get straight to it, I don't have all day” I glanced at my wrist“Why did you feel the need to ‘clear’ the air?” she asked“Is that why you are here?” I asked with raised brows“That is just by the way” she brushed it off“I raised Rae the best way I could possibly do, she turned out to be something else but she understands what family is” she said“After the passing of my husband, God rest his soul” she fanned her face like she was fanning tears away but her eyes were as clear as day“She was the one who kept the house running, she worked really hard to keep everything together” she casually said like it wasn't the most absurd shit to mention nonchalantly“Having a child would only put loads of pressure on her” she added“So what are you saying?” I asked“That is your child, it isn't just about
RICKONThe only time I checked my phone was to see the reaction to the ‘statement’ I made. Jack wanted to go for a lengthy post explaining but I didn't have the patience for that so I did it my own way anyway which seemed pretty efficient. It might not take the public noise away but it would keep the monstrous Alistairs away from her just so she could feel at rest again.It was really unlike me to be bothered about what someone had going on. Not only was I bothered I was deeply disturbed about the fact that I was sitting still without doing anything about what was going on. I felt extremely useless, a feeling I resented so much.Seeing her worry and breakdown just ticked something inside of me. I didn't know what it was but I knew I had to do something at least. Jack is also actively bringing down blogs and taking down comments but that was just like a drop of water added to the sea. The comments kept multiplying fueled with hate and rage and they couldn't be traced.I couldn't sleep
RAEIt was really awkward with Tabitha when she showed up in the morning. I made sure to make the due payment including the extra payment she asked for just so we wouldn't talk about money because I knew how awkward a conversation like that could be but it still was regardless and I couldn't exactly tell what it was about.Maybe it was the shame of her seeing me as a woman who had a baby outside her marriage. It wasn't something I could talk out or explain to her. I was just going to let her believe whatever and with Rickon’s statement there was only one thing to believe.I planned to do something about the rumors before he did like make a post, do an interview, whatever it was to take Rickon’s name out of the conversation but he already took it all.I couldn't be mad at that, I should be grateful at least but I didn't feel that way at all. I hated the situation even more. “Erm I would be back before six” I gave an awkward wave as I walked out the door I tried to get into the elevat
I suddenly snapped awake to realize I had passed out on the couch and there was a blanket over me. I kicked off the blanket and got to my feet sleepily rubbing my eyes even. without checking the time I knew I had overslept even without checking the time. Good thing my father was off my neck if not I wouldn't hear the last of it. I was headed upstairs when I suddenly heard a sound coming from the kitchen, it was just me at the vacation house. So I didn't know who could be there.I slowly walked towards the kitchen ready to attack in case it was an intruder.“You are up” a chirpy voice said making me jump“Sorry didn't mean to scare” the temporary secretary giggled, I stared down at her to the tray she held in her hand and when I looked back at her face, her smile quickly faltered. She could read the disgust on my face “Why are you here?!” I shouted causing her to flinch in fear“Why didn't you leave? Because you didn't get paid?” I shot at her“You looked stressed I just thought to m
AXEL“I knew it! I fucking knew it!” I listened to a voice recording Lianna sent to me“Rickon is the father of her bastard child, how ironic that she was having an affair while you were doing the same thing” She let out a mocking laughI angrily hauled the phone across the room, and it hit the wall hard before crashing to the ground.I wasn’t at the house and haven't been for a while, but she still found a way to taunt me. I had also seen the so-called statement Rickon had put on his personal page. Not refuting the claim but instead accepting it by saying the child was his. That was like pouring fuel into an already burning fire, which made everything escalate even more than I thought it could. There were fucking people doing think pieces the situation like it had anything at all to do with them in the first place.It really got me so worked up that everything around me irritated me badly. I had to leave the office early because I just couldn't stand being around anyone. The eyes tha
I was so happy that I skipped out the door into the empty street on top of the world that I managed to do it. Although I didn't have a game plan when I got into that cab, I managed to get it done somehow. I was supposed to be worried about facing Rickon for not meeting up at the agreed time.But I
“You can park right here” I mumbled “Here?” He asked looking at the dilapidated building and back to me “Yes” I whispered in shame “Alright” he didn’t ask any more questions and parked just like I asked “Thank you” I gave an awkward head bow before slipping out of the car I hope he won’t
“I didn’t do anything I promise” I quickly said, raising my hand in surrender. He just stared at me intensely with a blank expression on his face. I couldn't tell if he was angry or not but who wouldn’t be when I somehow destroyed the work that had been done? I couldn’t even begin to explain how i
“Take this and get the hell out of my house” he roughly grabbed my hand and forced a black card into my palm“Like I said I don’t need a dime from you” I didn’t go back on my word He had insulted me continuously, saying that I was a gold digger out for his money and I never needed his money. I did
