Shirley’s povI didn’t feel good about Matilda’s presence in the house but I had to act like I was okay because I don’t want Jackson to do anything stupid to her. Of late I’ve been seeing some slight changes in him and he’s showing me the side of him I didn’t know of before. So he definitely would try to do something stupid to her if I don’t stop him. “You’re good with her?” He suddenly asked and I snapped out of my mindless thought. “Not exactly, but it’s obvious she has nowhere to go, if she had a place to stay she wouldn’t be here, forcing herself to stay with us.” I tried to explain to him. I was trying to suppress his anger so that he could calm down and not scream on her at the top of his voice. “Does my house look like a charity home where those without a roof under their head can run to whenever they like?” He asked angrily. I couldn’t say anything when he asked the question, our happy family meal time had already been ruined because of her presence. I cursed under my breat
Writer’s povShirley was shocked that Jackson didn’t say anything to her when he returned. He just rushed upstairs without looking at her. And that made her feel very unpleasant. She was wondering why he would behave like that, she had no other choice but to blame it on Matilda’s presence. Her presence has been annoying everyone in the house and she’s the only one that doesn’t see it. Shirley walked downstairs angrily and sat on the couch, she thought she could have Jackson to talk to about Matilda’s annoying attitude but seeing the way he walked past her without saying anything made her realize there was no point speaking to him about it because he might just end up ignoring her. While she was sitting on the couch she sighted Matilda walking downstairs again, she’s obviously doing all these things to get in Shirley’s nerves and Shirley was beginning to notice what she was trying to do, she decided not to give her the attention she was desperately craving and just focus on somethin
Writer’s povAmelia has been living quietly for a while even though her plan is all set, she realized it wouldn’t be easy for her to carry it out the way she pleases because it’s too early, the family needs to trust her very well and they need to see that her relationship with Shirley was really genuine that way they would believe whatever she says to them. “Good morning.” Shirley greeted Yvonne with a bright smile on her face. For some reasons Yvonne didn’t find her trust worthy again. She was wondering why Amelia suddenly changed, someone that was going hard about her husband is suddenly behaving like a saint. It seemed really suspicious to Yvonne but she was trying not to let it show that she didn’t trust Amelia. “How was your night?” Yvonne asked. Amelia joined her on the dining with a faint smile on her face. “It was good.” She replied as she sat down. Another change Yvonne noticed is that Amelia is no longer obsessed with her husband, she now lets him do the things he wants t
Writer’s povWhen Amelia got to her room she threw the paper on the floor and was about to rip it into pieces but she stopped herself. She still can’t believe he’s still thinking of divorcing her even though she has proven herself to be a changed person several times. She had stopped yelling and obsessing over him and he’s still hell bent in divorcing her? Amelia was confused and upset, she wanted to tell him to his face that she would never divorce him, but telling him that would only make her look like a pretender so she decided not to do that instead she pretended to be fine with what he said. Seeing that she has successfully brought Yvonne to her side made her even more happy because all that’s left for her to do now is to get rid of Shirley, once Shirley Is out of the way he wouldn’t think about divorcing her anymore. “Shirley is the problem and she has always been the problem.” Amelia said to herself as she heard echoes of what she heard him say to Yvonne a few minutes ago. He
Writer’s povIt’s a new day, but not one they should be excited about in Jackson’s house because it’s his ex wife's birthday and because he’s not completely over his ex wife they had to walk on eggshells for the rest of the day. Even though Jackson stopped his wife's memorial that they do monthly he still hasn’t gotten over her completely and seeing Matilda in his house could only stir up the thoughts of his ex wife that were almost forgotten. Shirley woke up late and the first thing that could come to her mind is the fact that today is Daphne’s birthday. Shirley thought it would be better to not do anything that would upset Jackson because today isn’t the best day for him. “Good morning.” Shirley greeted with a bright smile on her face. Jackson gave her a faint smile and sat down for dinner. Shirley knew he wouldn’t be going out on such a special day so she thought it’ll be better she makes him feel better. She gave the chef an order on what’s going to be made today and from the
Writer’s povShirley and Jackson went out of the house, and while they were on their way to the restaurant Shirley thought of apologizing to him for what happened with the food earlier, she thought that would be the only way he would forgive her. “I’m sorry about earlier, I didn’t tell the chef to….” “I know what happened, you don’t need to apologize.” He said to Shirley as he was trying to stop her from apologizing to him. Shirley was shocked to hear that he knew what happened and how the meal was switched into something else. She realized that might be the reason why he told her to go with him. “You knew what happened? So why didn’t you say anything, I could have told the chef to change it.”“When she was sending the note last night I was downstairs so I told the chef to show me the menu she ordered, that was how I found out her intention.”“Why didn’t you stop the chef?”“There was no point.” Shirley was wondering what he was trying to say and why he was sounding like that in th
Writer’s povIt’s been days now since Felix handed the divorce papers to Amelia and she’s yet to give him a reply, both of them barely talks, and they don’t even see each other most of the time, because it was taking time so Amelia was hoping that he wouldn’t bring up the conversation again because she didn’t know how she would react if he dared to bring it up again. She woke up very early in the morning and just thought about trying to please him one last time so that he forgets completely about the divorce topic. While she was in the kitchen struggling to make breakfast, Yvonne was on her way there to get a bottle of water. She stopped when she heard sounds coming from the kitchen, she was wondering why the maids would wake up so early to make breakfast. Then she walked in hoping to see the maid in the kitchen but surprisingly it was Amelia. Yvonne made it obvious that she was shocked to see Amelia in the kitchen. “What’s going on? I mean why are you up so early trying to make b
Shirley povSeeing Amelia standing in front of me with a smile on her face in my house is something that I never imagined I would ever get to see. She didn’t go with a frown, she came with a smile which was completely unlike her. I was wondering what could have gotten into her or if she missed her way and ended up in my house.“You do not look pleased to see me here.” Amelia said to me as she was walking closer to where I was standing. “You heard me clearly because I don’t remember giving you an invitation to my house,” I said to her, sounding angry and making it obvious to her that I wasn’t interested in her visit. I was a little relieved because Matilda was no longer in the house because both of them could actually team up just to make my life miserable. “Is it a bad thing to visit my best friend? You seem to forget that we used to be best of friends, why are you sounding like you have forgotten our sweet moments together.” I knew very well the kind of person Amelia is and how cu
Writer's pov“So you actually think that everyday of my life I live a happy and perfect life? Do you know how tough it was trying to please them every single time and my effort was thrown away? Do you even know how sad it is watching the people that you call your biological parents treat a stranger better than the way they treat you? Well then I wasn't smart enough to understand that you were their biological daughter but what I know is that they always treated you better than me. I had to do everything to please them but they never were pleased with whatever I did to make them proud. They always commended even your little efforts but they never commend my hard work because they believe that I wasn't their biological daughter. So what happiness are you talking about? What I always wanted was what you got easily but I didn't try to forcefully take anything away from you, I knew that in the end I can't have it all.” Tears was welling down her eyes as she was talking because she had to
Writer's povJackson was too busy working that he wasn't able to see her message, he wasn't even with his phone because he had something serious to attend to. The same issue that made him moody the other day when he got home, he decided to take care of it this time around at work so that he doesn't allow Shirley suffer from the stress he's going through at work.While he was doing that he couldn't get Shirley off his head, he was wondering why she is always so happy even though she might be going through the most.“Boss, you are…” One of Jackson's staff was shocked to see Jackson smiling for the first time since he started working in the company. Jackson noticed and immediately changed his facial expression. Jackson hates it so much whenever they see him smiling because he thinks that is a weakness but after leaving with Shirley for a while now he got to realize that smiling isn't any sign of weakness, it is even more sign of strength when you're going through the most and you find y
Writer's povBefore Shirley made the phone call she was hoping that they are going to listen to her and accept what she says because this is the only alternative she has to help the little way she can, she knows the kind of person sharon is and how pestering sharon can be but she was hoping that this time they try to reason from her own perspective too and see reasons why she cannot give her blood.Amelia was totally against the idea because it's only going to ruin her plan and she was scared that her parents might accept the idea from Shirley.“Okay.” Amelia opened her eyes wider than normal the moment she realized that her mother had already accepted the idea that Shirley brought.Just when she was close to achieving her biggest dream which is killing Shirley it had to end this way, Amelia was so upset that she wanted to get up from the bed and leave but it will only ruin her chances even more, all she has to do right now is think of a way to end this blood topic and find another th
Writer's povAmelia was very happy to hear what her mom and dad said. She has been waiting for the moment when both of them will decide to take it by force. Obviously she is not willing to give her blood no matter how much they try to beg.“Mom, dad, I really do not think that is a good idea because you know very well that she is only trying to act stubborn, with time she will finally be able to submit to us and give us whatever it is that we want.” Amelia said to her mom and dad trying to pretend to be a good person, Sharon was not buying what Amelia was saying because she felt time was not on their side and anything can happen. With the way the nurses were looking it seemed like everything had gotten even worse, and she guessed they couldn't see the truth which is why they kept saying it will be better if the doctor speaks to them by himself. “Amelia, as much as I am trying to make peace between myself and Shirley, I am still going to do whatever it takes to make sure that my daugh
Writer's povAmelia realises that it’s already getting late and soon they would find out that she is lying. She was hoping that blood transfer would be done before the truth comes out, but right now she is making everything hard because both parents already agreed so she's wondering why Shirley hasn't agreed to give her the blood that She wants. Amelia was pacing around the room looking very worried because things weren't going well at all. She was hoping that her father's visit to Shirley's house would make things easier for them. Amelia snapped out of her thoughts and realized that her position is risky and it will be easy for them to find out that she is healthy if they find her pacing around the room. “I'm not going to let her ruin what I worked hard to plan, I'm not going to let her destroy my work. “Amelia said to herself as she sat on the bed thinking about the next plan.She realized it's better to pester her parents even more, because it’s only when she disturbed them ver
Shirley povI was shocked to see Jackson back home earlier than planned. When he returned he didn't look exactly happy which was a little worrying to me, I hate seeing Jackson like this, I was wondering why he looked really upset but then again it might be business that is bothering him.“Hey, are you okay?” I asked him the moment he walked into the house. I could tell from the look on his face that there was something wrong but I didn't want to pressure him too much, “I'm good.” Jackson said to me without hesitating, I could tell from the way he was behaving when he first got back but he wouldn't tell me what is bothering him.I didn't bother disturbing him anymore. I just took the little boy upstairs so that both of us can give Jackson some time alone to think. I couldn't stop worrying about him but I just had to give him some moments to clear his head and I am sure he's going to feel better in some minutes. It's not like he’s going to be moody the whole day.*******After spending
Writer's povShirley couldn't stop having a lot of flashbacks about everything that has happened in the past, this room is the room that contains everything from my past so it was totally hard for her to run away from it.She remembered when they were five which is the first day that they met, both of them were complete introverts, they hardly get along with strangers which is why they were able to connect very well when they were young and they promised each other that whenever they need help they would always be there for each other. Even though so much has happened and that strong friendship that they used to have has suddenly turned into hatred for each other Shirley still couldn't overlook the promise she made to Amelia.Both of them knew that Amelia was always the sick one so Shirley promise that even if it has to be her life she will do everything to make sure that nothing happens to Amelia, this is a promise she made to her when they were young so she felt maybe right now is
Writer's povThey both headed to the other side of the house where Amelia was sure that no one would be able to eavesdrop on their conversation.“I'm really grateful to you and Grandma for making out time to be here even if it's already late. I never imagined that you would come here the moment you hear that I was in such situation, I didn't know you will take it seriously which is why I did not tell you that both of us have been having series of misunderstanding so I just thought she might even think I'm doing you a favor by having such illness.”“Well you are.” Felix said in his mind and let out a smile so that it would look like he was smiling because of what she was saying. Felix hated it so much that he had to be in the same space with her, Felix couldn't believe he had to pretend like he was cool with the whole nonsense that she's saying, she kept beating around the bush which was very frustrating to him, he was wondering why she cannot complete a simple sentence so that they ca
Writer's povAmelia was not really happy to see Felix in the house at the wrong time, she did not tell him anything about the sickness as she realized he didn't have to know about it because it's not like it was real, telling so many people about it might only risk her opportunity of hiding the truth.“What are you doing here?” Amelia asked him angrily because he's not supposed to know about it.“I am here because I received a call from someone else telling me that my wife has a deadly illness and that she has only a few days to live and I have to be here to take care of her. Why didn't you tell me anything?” He asked her angrily.“Why should I tell you anything? You have never believed anything I say to you so why do I expect you to trust me this time around? I had to keep the truth to myself and find a solution to it immediately because I do not want to die now.” She was so upset while she was talking. Amelia hated it so much that she couldn't have control of the opportunity to hold
