LOST WITHOUT YOU CHAPTER 13
Rosemarie’s Pov:Anne led us to an abandoned warehouse. She believed James would be there.After the call, she told us how there was a particular sound in the background of the call.It was the sound of iron meeting iron and it is a sound that she heard when she once went to the warehouse.She said James usually goes there because he said the place is serene and it was an ideal place for him to work from home.She had totally forgotten about the warehouse because they hadn’t gone there in a long time, even before the divorce.Michael drove us to the warehouse. I looked at him and I couldn’t be any more grateful that he was there.I had imagined when I had called him he would have simply ignored me or, better still, wouldn’t come after telling him about Jasmine’s kidnapping after the last encounter we had.He could have just easily said he wasn’t coming, it’s not like he was in their lives after all, but Michael came here with immediate effect after the call and she was glad he did.An

Michael’s Pov:Everywhere seemed choked up, I couldn’t breathe. I felt like air left my lungs, I struggled for air after inhaling In and out for a few hours, I was back to myself.A voice kept on ringing in my head “it should have been you, it should have been you, how would you live with yourself now?”.I smoothened out my suit and knotted my tie, I couldn’t break down, I couldn’t be vulnerable. I need to be on my best self for Marie and the twins.As I headed downstairs to my car, my phone buzzed, and it was my colleague at work. He asked when I’ll be coming back to work because I have been away for months now.I promised that I would be back soon and that I had something to take care of. I wasn’t lying, I had to go back. Furthermore, I haven’t seen Cara in a long time and my heart still yearns for her and my child growing inside her, but I just had to do this one last thing for Marie.As I headed to the funeral I had only one thing stuck in my mind.Would Marie hate me from now o

Rosemarie’s pov: Days turn to weeks, weeks turn to months and my sister is gone just like yesterday. Everyday as I woke up, it still hit me hard that I was never going to see her again. It felt like a missing piece of me was gone but I had to move on. It wasn’t easy because everyday seems to be a struggle but I had to be strong for the twins. Since after the accident, Jasmine has been keeping to herself and it felt like she had fallen into depression. Jada complained about her twin almost everyday that she wasn’t as active as before which made me make up my mind for her to see a therapist, she had appointments twice a week. It really helped because she had begun to go back to her old self. Michael helped in his own way by coming every weekend to come spend some time with the girls . They had really grown accustomed to him, he would even never come empty handed but always show up with presents for the girl. Sometimes he got gifts for me too which I appreciated in turn. I had

Michael’s POV:The sun came out to play today which only means it is a great day to take my girls to the beach. It was like a pre-birthday outing, I just wanted to do something special for them before the actual birthday party. Of course, the girls were both so happy to hear about the beach, their mum had put them in their best dresses and had gladly handed them over to me so she could have her alone time for some while before they came back. The drive to the beach was so much fun, I had played the best of Shawn Mendes's songs all through and the girls seemed to be obsessed with Shawn Mendes. I had invited Marie to tag along but she bailed saying she had to plan the birthday party since it was fast approaching. I had packed up food to eat at the beach, cheeseburgers and cupcakes with sandwiches. On getting to the beach, the girls ran around like they were birds that had just been set free. I went ahead to set up our space for the picnic while keeping an eye on the twins so they w

Rosemarie’s pov: I returned home with a whirlwind of thoughts swirling in my mind. Was I experiencing a dream or a hallucination? How could I have seen James when he was supposed to be at the station? As I stepped into my house, I made sure to lock all the doors and windows, unwilling to take any chances of a potential intruder, especially after encountering James unexpectedly. My heart raced with fear and uncertainty as I dialed Michael’s number, seeking assurance and protection for my twins. Despite his concern, I couldn’t bring myself to divulge the truth about my encounter with James. Instead, I brushed it off as a vague feeling, unwilling to risk alarming Michael with the possibility of my hallucinations or worse, the potential threat posed by James. Every creak of the floorboards and rustle of the wind outside only amplified my anxiety. I couldn’t shake off the image of James from my mind, wondering if he was truly there or if my mind was playing tricks on me. The unc
LOST WITHOUT YOU CHAPTER 18
Michael PovIn the aftermath of the twins’ jubilant birthday celebration, a sense of disquiet settled over me regarding Marie’s demeanor. Despite her tireless efforts in orchestrating a spectacular party that left everyone in high spirits, there lingered an elusive feeling that something was amiss with her. Beneath her radiant smile and effervescent charm, there lurked a shadow of concern that she seemed determined to conceal from me.It was during one quiet evening, as the twins lay nestled in their beds, that Marie’s voice trembled with an undercurrent of fear as she inquired about their safety. With a reassuring tone, I assured her that they were safely tucked in for the night, under my vigilant watch. Yet, her inquiry was not without a hint of trepidation, a subtle plea for reassurance that left me pondering the source of her distress.Despite my persistent attempts to coax her into confiding in me, Marie remained steadfast in her reluctance to divulge the root cause of her anx

CHAPTER NINETEENRosemarie’s pov: I had resumed back to work because I couldn’t let time fly while I wasted it missing my sister due to her death. Going back to work did help take my mind off it. I was always at work; the twins stayed at their grandma’s place after school until I picked them up. Most times, they preferred to stay with Michael, but I had to tell them he traveled. He did travel, back home to claim his empire, and I was proud of him for that. The twins missed him, but they had to be patient for him to return. I also knew deep down that I missed him too. Sam would come most weekends to keep us company. Since he found out Michael was the father of my children, our friendship kind of grew apart. He never professed his feelings to me again. I think he knew I was still head over heels for Michael and might not stop loving him anytime soon. I liked the fact that he didn’t let that affect our friendship. As the days passed, my routine became a comforting rhythm, shi

"Father," Michael rushed to his side, heart heavy with concern. "What has happened?" His father's voice was weak, but his eyes held a glimmer of determination.
