LOGINBRANDON ~
After listening to Barrister Frank's counsel, my facial expression, which had been gloomy, brightened. Indeed, it's good to have legal experts."So by willing everything under my mom's name, I wouldn't stand a chance to lose most of my properties?" I asked, trying to be sure."You wouldn't lose a penny," he reassured, bringing smiles to my face."Thank you so much, Barrister. You should start with the divorce paper preparation as soon as possible. I need this divorce more than anything else right now.""I don't wish to stay even an hour with Elese, talk more of living with her in the same building," I lamented as I walked out.My remark got Luke amused, but he withheld his laughter to maintain professionalism."It's settled already, Mr. Brandon. I'll inform you by evening when I'm done with it."Leaving the office, I felt relieved. At least I can walk out freely from this bondage called marriage withouVICTORIA ~ "Oh my God, I can't believe you went through all this in Brandon's hand," I exclaimed in disbelief after listening to Benita's story. She has finally made it to Asheville City. When she got to my place yesterday, it was already night due to her flight being delayed in Manhattan. Because of this, we could not have a discussion at all. She couldn't even eat the dinner I served her because she was exhausted. Initially, she said she would eat it but needed to rest first, and that rest lasted until this morning. "I'm really sorry that you went through all this because of me." She chuckled and replied, "You don't have to apologize, dear. You were never the cause." I let out a deep sigh of relief, though it was hard for the guilt to leave my mind. "So what would you like to have for breakfast?" I questioned as I stood up to head towards the kitchen. "You know you didn't eat last night, so you need to replace that dinner spot with breakfast," I said jokingly, and we both l

BRANDON ~ I left Elese's house at six o'clock p.m. for Greyson Resort, where I stopped over to cool off my mind first. With the way I was feeling, I might not be able to drive home safely because I wouldn't concentrate fully on the road. My mind would linger on the incident at Elese's house just as it is currently. If someone had told me Elese would do what she did when I walked out of her face, I would have never believed it. Common sense couldn't even tell her to run after me and pretend to be sorry, pleading for forgiveness. At the resort, the thought of what I encountered couldn't get off my mind despite the lively activities going on. "I'll have to divorce her regardless," I concluded, gritting my teeth in pain. I left the resort by eight o'clock after my friend Philip called to say that he has something to share with me and wouldn't want it to be in public. Philip is my ver
BRANDON ~ After closing from work today, I headed straight to the mall to do some shopping for Elese, as today is her birthday. That was the exact reason I closed work earlier today than usual. I had decided to surprise her; maybe that would make her change for good, knowing I have her best interest at heart. Although she never told me about her birthday today, I already have it on my mind when her birthday is, as I usually bought things for her in the past, when we were still having our affairs secretly. Meanwhile, I never acted as if I knew it was her birthday. I never wished her well through text messages or even phone calls. It was exactly five o'clock p.m. when I left the store and drove to Elese's house in Almani District, which is where she has been for a week now, and she has not displayed any iota of character that shows she'd be returning soon. To me, this birthday surprise will definitely make her come
VICTORIA ~ Indeed, time flies. I can't believe it's been nine months already since I came to this city. Looking at my past, I feel so blessed. The fact that I now have Elliot with me is something I can't express the joy it gives me. He's finally here with me. It was two weeks ago that I gave birth, all thanks to Logan. He had been running the errands involved and making sure I'm okay. With his help, I was able to get a furlough from my workplace. However, I'm still not yet able to tell his real source of income, and that scares me sometimes. What if he is into illegal business? It's certain I'll be arrested alongside him if that's what he does because I'll be termed an acquaintance. "Well, I'll ask him again when he visits in the evening," I concluded. It's either he explains himself to me fully or I draw the limits in our friendship. I don't even know anyone as his relative here, and he claimed he is from Asheville City. I breathed a sigh and wanted to turn
BRANDON -I left Benita with my mood provoked even more.I thought that by kidnapping her, she would succumb to my request, but to my greatest dismay, she was hellbent on her decision.She refused to disclose Benita's location to me despite all the threatening comments I made to instill fear in her.I knew that fulfilling those threats wouldn't change anything, so I didn't harm her.When I realized that even if I spent the whole day trying to persuade her, she wouldn't change her mind, I decided to leave her and attend to other activities.However, I didn't release her. I left her there to come back another time, more prepared, and approach her differently.Driving towards my house, my mind was not at ease. I was thinking about Elese's sudden disappearance from the house.Although she told me she was going to her place, shouldn't she have informed me earlier and even in my presence, not the other way around?
