Michael’s POV:Michael sat in stunned silence, the weight of the revelation crashing over him like a tidal wave. The secret he had kept buried for so long had finally come to light, and its implications were more profound than he could have ever imagined. As he absorbed the words of the letter, memories flooded back to him—memories of a summer long ago, when he was just a teenager and the forbidden romance he had shared with the maid who worked in his family’s home.He remembered the stolen glances exchanged in the hallways, the whispered promises made under the cover of night, and the reckless passion that had consumed them both. But most of all, he remembered the overwhelming guilt that had plagued him ever since, the guilt of betraying his family and the consequences of his actions. And now, all these years later, the maid had resurfaced, bearing not only the burden of their past but also the weight of a child—a child Michael had never known existed.As the truth settled in, Mi
Rosemarie’s pov: As Rosemarie grappled with the shocking revelation about Michael’s past affair, she found herself trapped in a whirlwind of conflicting emotions. Each day, she struggled to maintain a façade of composure, hiding her seething resentment beneath a mask of civility. Yet, despite her efforts to distance herself, the weight of betrayal hung heavy in the air, poisoning every interaction between them.Haunted by the knowledge of Michael’s infidelity, Rosemarie couldn’t bear to look into his eyes without feeling a surge of anger and hurt. She wondered endlessly about Cara, the woman who had been wronged in ways she could scarcely imagine. What must Cara be feeling now, knowing the truth about her husband’s betrayal? Despite his attempts to bridge the growing chasm between them, Michael’s presence only served to exacerbate Rosemarie’s turmoil. Each visit he paid to see the twins became a torturous ordeal, as she struggled to maintain her façade of indifference in his p
Marie’s Pov: I woke up to the noise of my children; what could they be possibly up to by this time of the day? “Mama, mama; come see, it’s a giant bird,” they both said. I was still feeling sleepy but then I couldn’t ignore their beautiful eyes and the excitement in their faces to come see what they were talking about. I got dressed as fast as I could and I followed my four-year-old twins as they led the way. Behold what they seem to call a giant bird is an ostrich. I had to explain to them that it was an ostrich but both of them, being adamant, continued to call it a giant bird. I was too lazy for an argument, told them to go with their guts and went inside to make breakfast. I contemplated for a while but I ended up making pancakes and eggs. It’s been four years of raising Jada and Jasmine alone as a single mum. I miss him, I won’t lie but I hate him for leaving us. We were supposed to elope together, we were supposed to live happily ever after but yet I remembered that day
Michael’s POV: “We need to get a divorce”. Cara said. I have been trying to avoid that statement for the past two weeks now and yet it seems to just come loosely from her mouth. “But what if we can make it work, what if we can learn to love each other “. I said. She shook her head repeatedly and told me it was just a waste of time. Since the accident, it has always been Cara, though I can’t seem to remember my past life with Cara was so beautiful even though we agreed on an arranged marriage. She helped so much throughout my recovery process and she tried to assist in bringing back my memories but it got to a point where I just gave up about everything in the past because nothing seemed to be working. We’ve been married for two years now, hence the contract we agreed on but I just couldn’t find it in myself to let go of her since she was the only one I knew. Cara was the daughter of a wealthy billionaire, she was being pressured by her father to bring home a man but she wasn’t s
Maries Pov: The wind whipped past me so fast as I continued to run, heading to nowhere in particular as long as I was far away from him. I could hear Sam call my name right behind me, but I continued to go wherever my legs took me. I just couldn’t believe it, I kept telling myself that he wasn’t the one that my brain just made up an image of him. It just couldn’t be him, after how many years, and then he just suddenly appeared from nowhere when I had decided to move on. Nothing hurts more than the look that he had when he saw it. He looked like he didn't even remember me and he had the guts to give me his hand to shake. My house became visible from sight and I wiped my tears dashed towards my house and slammed the door shut behind me. I wasn’t ready to face Sam and explain that the person he was casually talking to was the father of my girls; Michael Evans. I went in to check on my girls and realized that they were still fast asleep. Furthermore, I looked at their innocent fac
Michaels' Pov:I found myself looking for her, but I couldn’t find her. She is so good at hiding and I am a miserable seeker. I called for her and told her I was tired of looking and that she should come out. She giggled which gave out her hidden spot. I ran to where she was and carried her. She kept on laughing and begged me to drop her down. I finally dropped her and she wrapped her arms around me, I have never been at peace unless I was with her. Then she looked up at me with her eyes piercing through my soul, and she said;” Michael, promise me you won’t leave me alone?” then I promised her. Before I knew it, she disappeared and I kept on hearing a voice echoing “You left me, you left me, you left me” repeatedly.I woke up with a startle, my wife ran towards my side with a worried look. She kept on asking why happened and why had I fainted but I couldn’t find words to say. I knew deep down that the woman at the supermarket was someone from my past but how could I say that to C
Maries' Pov How on earth am I seeing him? I just couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw him by the door. It’s like he keeps looking for ways to make me feel uncomfortable. Then Cara came out and welcomed us with open arms. As if that was not all, we were soon swept by Sam’s presence. The girls ran to him and hugged him tightly, he just stood there speechless with a shocked face because he wasn’t expecting us to be the guest. Cara then further introduced us and surprised me by calling Sam her elder brother and the most surprising part of all she called Michael her husband. The earth suddenly started to rotate around me and I began to feel lightheaded. I asked for the bathroom, and I was directed there, I entered and made sure I slammed the door shut. My day couldn’t get any worse, but I wouldn’t let that man think he was still in my mind. I washed my face, applied a little mascara and smoothened out my gown. I was going to enjoy my dinner date with my girls, and I wasn’t going to
Michaels' Pov: Michael begins to have memories of Marie, but he tries to ignore them because he doesn’t want anything to come between him and his wife. So he decided to do something special for his woman just to show her how much he loved her. He took her out on a dinner date, it was a wonderful night because they talked, laughed dined and wined. He was so glad that she wore a smile on throughout the night. Furthermore, he needed this just to remind himself how much she meant to him. Furthermore, he had planned a romantic surprise at home, he had help from Sam for setting up the surprise. On reaching home, he blindfolded her and led her to the door. As they got there he removed the blinds off her eyes and she was shocked with what she saw at her front. There were rose petals scattered on the bed in the shape of a rose, scented candles and soft music playing on the radio. It wasn’t just any song, it was their song, the one that played as she strolled down the aisle on their we
