Jackson.I have never been this angry in my entire life, I barged out of the room angrily with the intent of hitting something. I hate this. I hate the way I’m feeling.I shouldn’t feel this way—like someone was trying to take something important away from me.I should feel happy knowing she wouldn’t be an obstacle between Laura and me again. I should be happy she was ending this instead of trying to stay but no, I feel the total opposite and I fucking hate it.I hit the gym room to blow out some steam, I don’t think I can talk with anyone now without leashing out on the person.I spent the whole day in the gym trying to take out my anger on the heavy bag, which didn’t help me in any way. I try to think of something else other than Nicole currently packing her things from our room.It’s impossible to think of something else when I’m this worked up, I try thinking of Laura and our baby and everything good that will happen to us now Nicole is leaving but still can’t.It felt like my bra
Nicole.I have everything planned for my last night in the Davenport household. Get back at every single one of them for what they’ve done to me since I stepped foot into this house.If I couldn’t fight them physically then I could do that verbally.I prepared food for the whole family l including Laura who has been around for most of the day. I did this because this might be the last time they ever eat something prepared by me.I got dressed a few minutes ago but decided to wait for a while before going downstairs.Everyone was already seated as I’d expected, I smiled inwardly when I saw Jackson sitting away from Laura that would make my plan sweeter.The evening started just as I predicted and I couldn’t help but be proud of myself for how far I have come.If Janice thinks she gets to speak to me as rudely as she has always done then I’m going to show her that I’m no longer the calm lady their son married.I acted like a fool because I wanted to please them not because I am one. I t
Nicole.I left the dining room after causing the drama that I knew would last for a long time before everyone would go to bed.Like usual I went to my now temporary room, ready for bed. I believe I have been too stressed out these past few days and need some rest even if it wasn’t for me I should do that for the baby.I took the dress off and stared at myself in the full-length mirror and the only thing I could see was myself.I looked beautiful.My hips were big but not too big as Laura's but overall I looked sexy, my stomach was still flat and it wasn’t that bloated like Jackson says. I looked pretty, my hair and face were on point and I love myself. I love what I was staring at and I wouldn’t let any man make me feel so unsexy.I threw on a big T-shirt I bought while shopping and went straight to bed. My eyes were about to close when my phone beside me started ringing, I cursed out quietly at the person calling so late.My brows furrowed when I saw who the caller was. Right on my p
Laura.Everything is going as planned. I have managed to throw the bitch out of the house without raising suspicions, now all that remains in my plan is to get Jack to marry me.It may sound easy but I know it wouldn’t be now that he’s acting weird.But I know he would definitely get married to me, he wouldn’t let me go even if I wanted to, and he wouldn't want his child to be born illegitimately. If he wasn’t going to marry me then his mother was going to make him marry me, I’m sure she wouldn’t want to let me go.“I did it, Mom,” I said with a bright smile as soon as I walked in on them having breakfast.Mom paused what she was doing and looked at me with confusion.“You did what?” She asked and I rolled my eyes.“She’s gone mom, she’s gone from our lives. Now I can have Jack all to myself.” I took the fork from her and took a bite of her salad, only to spit the shit out just a second of it being in my mouth.I stared at my Mom oddly wondering how she could eat this shit. Well, I wa
Jackson.I should have said or done something when my mom, sister, and Laura were pushing Nicole out of the house. It was dead at night and I knew she wasn’t safe out there but I didn’t do anything.I stood there and watched them push her out.I closed my eyes and let out a groan, I can still see how she looked at me after mom slapped her and as they dragged her out of the house.I felt like she had been betrayed—I would also feel that way if that was happening to me.I rubbed my forehead and went upstairs, shutting Laura out because I wanted to be alone. I needed to think.I was so mad at Nicole for issuing a divorce after everything I had dropped just to be married to her that I didn’t know when I picked up my phone and called her father.I wanted him to know what his daughter had done and what her actions meant to our deal. He begged me to rethink my decision but I think he’s begging the wrong person, he should call his daughter and ask her to stop her madness. She was hurt because
Nicole.My husband coming late to his own wedding should have been the first thing to tell me he wasn’t ready for this marriage.I mean, I was standing at the altar waiting for him—which was supposed to be his duty, for about an hour before he showed up with messy hair, a ruffled suit jacket, and a smirk on his face.That should have given the sign that he’s a fucking red flag but I love him too much to look past his mistakes. Maybe he slept late the night before and couldn't wake up early, like I said I will do anything for this man. We proceeded with the marriage; not like I could say no to it since I loved him.They told me getting married is the most beautiful feeling on earth, falling in love, getting pregnant, and holding your child for the first time after hours and hours of long labor is the most amazing feeling ever.At least that’s what I was told.The people I called family told me I could do greater things if only I could just be more docile and allow them to direct me on
Nicole.I dialed his number again and it rang for the first time, no reply came but on the second ring, he picked up causing my racing heart to calm down a bit.“Jack……” I started but got interrupted by his hurried words.“I’m sorry Nicole, I can't come home tonight. I have a slight problem, until then.”Beep. Beep. Beep.The sounds were the only thing that made me know that he had ended the call, I couldn’t believe it. He ended the call without even hearing anything from me, what problem is he dealing with right now? Was his company in trouble?I nervously bit my lip as I stared at my phone hopelessly, I wanted to call him back and ask what was going on but knowing Jack he wouldn’t like that.So I decided to check the internet for news about his company, I mean if anyone could know what his company was going through apart from me that would be the media.Jack hardly tells me anything about his work and anything he is doing, at times it feels like I’m staying, married, and living with
Nicole.I stared at her waiting to see if she was joking but the look on her face told me everything I needed to know that she meant this. She really wants me to go pick up whatever she’s expecting.“I….I can’t do that.” I answered and her eyes hardened.“What did you say?” She asked.I brought my eyes down and repeated what I had said earlier, I was met with silence after, and for a minute she didn’t say anything.She burst into laughter breaking the silence and causing me to squirm in my spot.Mrs Davenport was a woman no one wanted to mess with, not even me.“Look here, your only job in this house is to do as I say and then please my son since that’s what you’re good at.” Her words stung but I forced myself not to say anything.They all think I’m good for nothing because I’m unable to give my husband a child. But I’m not useless, I’m pregnant now.“Your main purpose here is this,” she pushed the piece of paper into my chest.“Remember we can easily pull our shares out and stop supp

Nicole.This morning I got a text from Nancy saying that the papers were ready and I should come pick them up if I wanted to or they would be delivered to my house.I chose the formal, I would hate spending the rest of my day in this house. I left that morning without telling anyone, for a moment I was scared of leaving the house—I hadn’t done this before, leave without letting Jackson or his mother know about my whereabouts.It felt exhilarating leaving the house without anyone’s permission and I just couldn’t wait to do this more often. I picked up the papers from Nancy’s office while she tried to make me change my mind again before leaving. I heard what his mother said before going inside when I was back but acted like I didn't since I wasn't going to be her daughter-in-law again like she'd always wanted. I didn't bother calling her her desired name, I went upstairs to the room feeling a bit confident. ‘I can do this.’ I kept on chanting in my head again and again as I picked up m
Jackson.I gently carried Laura to my room and placed her on the bed. She hasn’t stopped crying even after I have picked her up from the floor.My eyes centered on her face and I frowned seeing the red mark there, that must be painful.I ground my teeth stopping myself from not going out there to meet Nicole. She doesn’t have the right to raise her hand on Laura, what if she had got hurt in the process? What if she’d lost the child—our child?“I’m sorry,” I was pulled from my thoughts and looked at her.My eyebrows dipped as I wondered why she was apologizing when she did nothing wrong.“I didn’t mean to say bad things to her, I just wanted her to accept our baby,” she sniffed as her hand cradled her still-flat stomach.My heart squeezed as I looked at her. I knew Laura from the beginning and one thing I can be sure of is that she wouldn’t do anything to hurt someone else.“It’s fine. I should be the one apologizing for Nicole’s behavior, she wasn’t like this before. I don’t know what
Nicole.I watched with surprise and disgust as Laura kept on weeping like I was the one who hit her for real. She cried miserably causing Jackson to glare at me.“Why did you have to hit her, Nicole? If you had something you wanted to say or do because of what we did then do them to me, never raise your hand on her again else I wouldn’t be this calm about it!” He lashed out and at that point, I knew he wasn’t going to believe me even if I said anything.And though I knew he wouldn’t believe me, I didn’t want to keep my mouth shut. He had to know what had happened.“You should try asking questions before taking sides, Jackson,” I said angrily.“There’s nothing to ask,” I stared at him in disbelief.“I didn’t hit her Jackson and you can ask her that—“A loud wail from her stopped me from saying more.“Enough Nicole! You have done more than enough!”“I didn’t do it.”“Stop talking,” he growled as he picked her up from the floor. I watched as he held her to himself so tenderly and walked a
Nicole.I have done nothing wrong while being married to him, I have stayed faithful and tried to win his trust and love even while knowing it was a dead end. Everyone thinks I married him because I wanted his money because I wanted him to help my father.It was never that and would never be that.Jackson remained silent after hearing me say that, I let out a huff and picked the nightdress I had finally seen after searching for ages.I walked past him only to have him follow me,“You won’t make it out there without me Nicole. You have no money and I’m sure your father won’t be too happy knowing you’re trying to divorce me.” I ignored him as I walked out of the room.I know what he’s talking about because I have witnessed that first hand just now, my dad probably hates me now after hearing me say that. I took the farthest guest room and didn’t fail to lock the door behind me, I wouldn’t want him to come in even though I feel like leaving the door open.I took in a deep breath as I stoo
