Can't she just allow me to be?For the past six hours, she hasn't allowed me to rest. She is always giving me work to do, even the ones that aren't related to my job yet, I didn't complain. And now that I want to rest before going home, she is on my neck again. "What do you really want from me, Belinda?”I've had enough.If the manager is going to fire me, then so be it. I can't stand this inhuman treatment from my fellow workers. She isn't even the owner of this place. Belinda felt defeated, and when she turned to walk away, she bumped into Asher who was behind her and her coffee slipped off her hand.“What nonsense!"She screamed. “Hey, watch where you are going."Asher stepped back, wiping off the coffee stain on his uniform. “Are you alright? It's all over your hand."I held Asher's hand where the coffee spilled on too. “It hurts, mummy, the coffee is so hot."But that didn't go well for Belinda. She grabbed my hair from the back and pulled me aside.She grabbed Asher's
To start over in a new place wasn't easy at all. Asher and I roamed the streets for two days, sleeping in hotels until I was able to find us an apartment in Middletown. The lady who ran away with the bag containing Asher's dress really taught me not to trust anyone again. And even though we were in dire need of help to find a place to stay, I turned down and walked away from the people who wanted to help us.Who knows if they are all the same?They might even run away with us and then that will be our end. Well… That was a week ago.Right now, I found us a nice apartment in Middletown and also secured a job in a coffee shop down the street. I didn't want to stay at home all day doing nothing, so I took a part-time job that came my way. It all happened on the day I went to enroll Asher in a school. The signboard in front of the coffee shop showed that they needed a full-time worker. But since I have to take care of Asher before and after school, I volunteered to work part-time
BLAIR'S POVMy goodness!How did Jeff know I was at the train station?Oh my God!That was so terrifying. I thought I would leave this city without him knowing. And now that he saw us and knew where the train was going, Jeff would definitely come after us. What should I do?I don't want to go back to him. I am tired of staying with that monster.“Mummy, Daddy isn't coming with us, is he?"Asher asked, fear written on his face.The boy has been so scared of Jeff since he realized Jeff hates him. “Please let's not go back to him, we should go far away to where we will be happy, okay?"Sighs. “That's what we will do, Asher, do not worry. Mummy will take you far away from here and I will make sure you are happy."He smiled and nodded his head.“But I saw him running after us. Are you sure he won't…”"Of course not, he won't.”I interrupted him. Asher looks so scared, and I have a solution to that. Instead of sticking around in that city, hiding from Jeff, I will buy another ticket
JEFF'S POV Beep!Beep!Beep!Notifications kept on dropping on my phone, but I care less to check what it was. It dropped three times straight before I dropped my laptop and checked what that was. What!My breath ceased for seconds before I came back to my senses. Three million dollars gone in less than three minutes?Who could have done that?Like, how did it even happen?As far as I know, my debit card is right here in the house. I gave it to Blair in the morning when I returned, to keep it safe in my room. Didn't she do as I instructed?I know Blair, she never plays with things that belong to me, especially my cards. Something is wrong somewhere.I have to go to the bank to check what is going on. I stood up, grabbed my car keys, and scurried out of the room. “Blair, darling? Someone is messing with my account, I need to go to the bank to check it out."No answer from her, which was weird. I called out again yet, no answer. What is wrong with her?She can't be sleeping b
BLAIR'S POVFOUR YEARS LATERSince morning, Asher has been crying uncontrollably because Jeff wouldn't let him go out of the house to play with the kids.He has been staring at the kids for days now from the balcony, and every time he sees them, he always wants to go out. I would tell him no and Asher would stop asking. But today, his patience has reached a limit.“Asher, please stop crying, baby,"“Open the door, I want to go out." He cried out. Gosh!This isn't right at all. I wonder why a dad would keep doing this to his own son.Jeff hates Asher right from birth.He doesn't want to look at the boy or play with him. He's always yelling at the poor boy, sending him away whenever Ashed enters the room. I've been patient enough and I can't take it anymore. Why would he act lovely towards me yet, hate our child?“Jeff, why are you doing this? It isn't right."Jeff hissed at me, stood up from the sofa, and left the living room.“Jeff!"I called, but he ignored me.Like seriously
RAYMOND'S POVRight from the moment I left the company, Cassie has refused to answer her calls. I want to stop her from giving herself to that man. He loves women a lot and doesn't mind whoever it is. He might be suffering from a serious disease right now, and we don't know. If Cassie ends up with him, she must contract that disease too.I feel so guilty now for sending her there. Cassie will do anything to get me. She won't mind spending the night with that Chronic womanizer.“Mr. Raymond, I can't reach her on the phone." “I can't, too. Keep trying, maybe she turned off her phone or whatever." Ben left, dialing Cassie's number. “Hello, Ray."My goodness, it's Cassie. “What on earth…”She dropped the document on the center table, shutting me up. "What is this?”I asked her, picking it up to take a closer look. She chuckled softly, sat on the sofa, and crossed her legs. "I told you I would do anything for you.”She giggled.It happened?She gave herself to him."No, do not
