MasukAnessa’s povFrom the hospital, we ended up walking in the park as we looked around and talked about miscellaneous things.“I used to go for rock concerts growing up. My father would lose his mind every time I would show up with different things gotten from the concerts.”I laughed when he said that as we found a bench in a secluded and shaded area and sat on it.“Did he ever advice you about things?” I asked as he shook his head.“All he did was yell at how I was going to be the reason he died. Well, jokes on him. I didn’t kill him. His job did.”“What happened?”“A terrirost attack. He was at work on a Saturday and a few people who were being chased by the police entered the company to hide. One of them had a bomb and it went off, exploding inside the building and collapsing the entire structure to the ground.”That was bad. The ease at which he told the story shocked me but maybe it was because this wasn’t a recent story so he was already used to it.He looked at me. “What about yo
Tina’s povI drove to a bar and parked in the parking lot as I got out, locking my door and walking into the establishment.Since it was morning, I didn’t expect to see much people there so I went straight to the counter to sit and tap on it.A young shirtless male with blond hair and a muscular body showed up. He smiled, a charming one if I might add.“What can I get you?” He asked.“Your strongest drink and a dick if you have one.”He smiled. “I’m not for sale. Plus, I don’t swing that way.”I scoffed. “Too bad. I could make your wildest past be nothing more than a past you forget.”As he worked on getting me my drink, he engaged into a conversation with me.“What’s got you feeling the way you feel?I sighed a heavy one then leaned over the counter.“A lot that I can’t say now or I’ll be arrested.”“You can tell me. If there’s one thing we have in common with the popes, it would be that we are good at keeping secrets.”I scoffed. “Even if that were true, I can’t still talk.”“Very w
Julian’s povI finished dressing for work that morning, kissed a naked Elena who was about to have her bath, then headed out of the house, getting into my car when my phone rang.I looked at it to see it was an unsaved number.At first I thought of all the bad idiots I had done business with and wondered who would be calling me here, but with a shrug, I decided to pick up the call.“Who is this?” I asked in a stern voice before ignoring my car and driving out the open gate.“It’s Tina. We need to talk.”The urgency in her voice told me the stupid woman had failed in her mission.She was such a drag. Couldn’t she do a simple task? Why did she need to bother me?I was so mad, I slammed on the gas and drove to the location she sent me.I could already feel myself filling with anger.She had one job. One fucking job! Make sure Darius and Anessa were no longer together. Instead, she had failed on that one.Taking in deep breaths, I focused on the drive. It was too early to be mad.Maybe sh
Anessa’s povI stayed in his arms for a while before his scent felt like home. I could stay here all day, but i knew he had other things to do.Taking in deep breaths, I pulled away from and cleaned my eyes with the back of my hand.“I’m sorry,” I sniffed. “I shouldn’t have done that.”He placed a large firm hand to my chin then directed it up so that he would look into my eyes.“Don’t,” he said, shaking his head. “Don’t do that. Whatever is bothering you. You can tell me. I’m here for you, I hope you know that.”I could only give a weak nod before he smiled, removing his tie and tossing it on the bed.I stared at the tie then looked at him with a shocked look.“What the hell are you doing? You have to work.”“Not when my wife is breaking apart like this. For once I’m glad I’m not the problem.”I chuckled, leaning back against the board. “So you don’t want to go to work?”“If you’re going to be like this then no. It’s not worth it. I’ll stay home.”Julian had not done this for me befo
Julian’s povI ate dinner with Elena while she complained to the maids about how the meal was trash and they should be ashamed of themselves for making such a disgraceful meal.I watched her with a calm about me as she noticed my gaze and sighed.“You all should leave,” she ordered.They bowed and left as I leaned back while she pointed to my still full plate.“Is anything the matter? You haven’t touched your meal yet.”I nodded. “I’m too excited to be hungry.”She picked up a chicken thigh and started to chomp on it.“Are you sure that woman will do what you want? She doesn’t strike me as someone who can be bullied into submission.”I smiled coldly. “She doesn’t need to do it. I want to see that family crumble. When they break apart, I’ll hit the final nail on the coffin by calling the senator and giving him their whereabouts. Let’s see how my uncle handles that.”Since they had made a fool out of me they were going to regret it. I didn’t care what I did as long as I got what I wante
Anessa’s pov“Nessa, please you have to understand. This is very important to me.”I could not help but shake my head in disbelief as I took a step back from her.I could not believe the nerve of this woman to stand before me and tell me to divorce Darius. I needed to know her reason because this was beyond madness.“And why would you tell me to do that?” I chuckled, slowly started to get my composure back. The shock had passed now, it was about to be replaced by anger if the reason was not good enough. Besides, what reason would be good enough for a mother to tell her daughter to divorce her husband.“What did Darius do to you? Did he not pay the proposed amount that he was supposed to pay for the sale, is that it? Is that the reason you want me to divorce him?”“For God’s sake will you stop?” She said, pacing around. She was impatient now.I gestured around the room, “look at where you’re staying as a guest. Look at what you’re buying. Where did you get the money for this?”“It was
Aneesa’s povI sat in the car in silence, feeling my anger build up within me, but there was nothing I could do. My hands were tied. All I could do was feel bad for Matt.“What’s on your mind?” he asked.I scoffed, looking out of the window. “You punish an innocent person, and then you ask me what’
Aneesa’s povI sat in the back of the car as Matt drove to the mall. That day, I wanted to get away from the house. Going to the mall seemed like a great way to do that.We hadn’t said anything to each other since we left and I wanted to thank him so bad for not ratting me out to Darius. But not on
Aneesa’s povWhen we were done eating, he drove me back to the office, and our ride back was filled with silence. The only thing that I could listen to was the music playing in the background, but even at that, my insides were burning with anger.This man had done things that I had not expected fro
Aneesa’s povI walked to the car, then stood there for a while as Matt stood by my side, looking around and being on guard.I looked at him. “Do you want to maybe hang out in a park or something?”He stared at me with a worried look, as I sighed.“You’re afraid that you might get beaten up by the b
