Writer’s povShirley went downstairs to eat dinner with the family and Jackson could tell from the look on her face that she was not fine, she didn’t want to talk to him but he was worried, he thought they had gotten close enough to start telling each other their worries, but seeing the way Shirley was not telling him her worried made him think the opposite, he realized that their relationship might not be to her the way he imagined. “Lisa, come take him to his room.” Shirley called when she noticed Dylan was not eating and he kept disturbing her. Jackson was confused, Shirley would never do such to his son on a normal day so why is she being so mean all of a sudden?“What is going on Shirley, you have been moody, and I kept asking but you’re not willing to tell me what happened. Did you meet Felix? What did he say to you?”“Can you stop! Stop already, you make me sick.” Shirley said angrily. It was this moment that made Jackson sure that something is wrong, something is definitely w
Shirley povIt's been days already since I found out that Alicia is my biological mother with ex-boyfriend while she was still in high school it still very hard for me to believe but at the end of the day it's the truth and I just have to believe it but I haven't brought myself to tell Jackson about it I really don't know how to tell him about it. I just feel really ashamed that I have a lot of problems in my life and I always end up telling him about it and it looks like I'm always disturbing him with my family issues which is what I don't want to happen this time around.I got up from the bed and walked into the toilet where I was still looking at myself in the mirror trying to find out who I really am cuz at this point I don't even know who I am anymore, new things keep coming up making me feel like I never knew myself. Alicia, Sharon and Luke have been trying to call me but I haven't been picking their phones because I am yet to accept reality.I stepped out of the toilets and wa
Writer's pov“Is she yet to forgive you?” Sharon asked Alicia when Alicia was sitting on the couch looking really sad. Sharon sat beside her on the couch and handed a glass of juice to her. “Shirley is a very stubborn girl so I'm not sure she's taking this long to accept reality.” “I really hate myself for keeping such a huge secret from her for so long, I never knew that a day would come when I would end up telling her the truth. I just wanted everything to keep going the way it was going but seeing her biological father dying I had no other choice but to call her.” “How were you able to keep such a secret from me and your brother? We have no idea you already had a child when you were in high school. Didn’t you think for once about telling us?”“I thought about it several times but I just couldn't bring myself to tell you about my shameful past.”“Does your husband know about her?” Alicia turns to look at Sharon the moment she asks. “Yes.” Sharon couldn't hold in the laughter whe
Amelia’s povI was hurt even though we haven't been the best couples. I still thought that maybe one day we would end up choosing each other but seeing this right now maybe I realize that I have been delusional and things might never change. I placed my hand on my chest because I was hurting seriously. Just when things had gotten better it only got even worse.“This cannot happen now.” I muttered to myself and sat on the bed. There was so much going on in my head at this point because why did he even think of it in the first place and he even had the documents ready.“I will never let him divorce me.” I said and folded the paper angrily before getting up from the bed. I got out of the room and headed to the dining room where he was eating breakfast with yvonne.“Finally Amelia you are here, we have been waiting for you. Why did you wake up very late today? It's totally unlike you.”I dropped the paper on the dining table angrily. Felix looked at the paper and looked away almost immedi
Writer's povAmelia had to search for her phone so that she could talk to her mom and dad about what Felix is about to do.“Where is that stupid phone!” Amelia yelled after searching for a while and she was yet to find her phone, at this point she was frustrated and anything at all could piss her off and make her lose her cool. She was trying to act hard and not act like the divorce was getting to her really bad. While searching for a phone she suddenly paused and started crying. It was just too much at this point. She finally found her phone and decided to place a call across to her mom and dad. The moment she made the phone call her mom picked immediately.“Amelia I was just about to call you.” Sharon said to her, sounding excited to hear Amelia's voice and the fact that Amelia was the one that called first made her feel good because she thought Amelia was upset with her. “Mom, I am losing my mind right now.” Sharon sat up properly the moment she had Amelia's tone and she could te
Writer’s povWhile Jackson was driving back to the house he was worried, there was a lot on his mind, he was trying to focus on his driving but it seemed impossible. Why a divorce all of a sudden, things were going well already, why the sudden need to get a divorce? Jackson asked himself several questions while he was driving at full speed, he drove that way till he got back to the house. When he got home, he was so worried that he started looking around the house for Shirley, he checked her room but she was not there, he checked her workroom too but she was not there too, after searching everywhere for her, she was nowhere to be found in the house. He recollected when he was leaving she said something about not leaving the house today because she got lots of painting ideas, and now she’s not in the house?“Where could she be?” Andrew asked himself and brought out his phone, he tried calling several times but she was not picking his calls. “Pick your calls Shirley,” He said a little
Shirley povI was shocked to hear what Sharon said. I know that for a while now Amelia and Felix were said to be doing well together, hearing this all of a sudden came as a shock.“What are you saying? A divorce all of a sudden?” I asked her because I was literally shocked, but I could tell from her sigh that she had other thoughts.“Felix wants a divorce.” I paused what I was doing as my heart started beating faster than normal, why does he want a divorce all of a sudden? What is he planning now? So many thoughts crossed my mind then I remembered what Jackson said to me a few minutes ago. He told me to promise him never to leave him and Dylan because he already knows about the divorce.“Why do you think I have a hand in this? Are you trying to blame me for your daughter being unable to keep her marriage?” I asked her angrily.“Shirley, I think you're overreacting right now.” Sharon said to me with a calm voice. “You think so? If you aren't trying to accuse me then why did you call t
Writer’s povShirley and Jackson were seated on the couch, Shirley still couldn’t get over what Amelia said to her, she kept asking herself questions as she was trying to know how it’s all her fault when she hasn’t done anything to Amelia, in reality Amelia was the one that hurt her, she’s supposed to be mad at Amelia and not the other way round. “Why is she doing this?” Shirley couldn’t wrap her head around the reason why Amelia is obsessed with her, she keeps saying everything is Shirley’s fault even though she’s always the one at fault. “First she got married to my boyfriend, as if that was not enough she tried to stop me from getting married to you and now that they’re about getting a divorce she still blames me? You know I don’t really get her, I have tried several times to understand her but she’s really making it hard for me. Why is she so obsessed with me? She practically blames me for everything.” Shirley yelled out her frustration and Jackson sat down quietly and listene
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
