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
Shirley pov Even though Jackson tried to warn me about meeting with Amelia, I still felt like that's the best thing to do at this point because there is nothing I would say to her that will make her listen to me and understand that I have no hand in the whole divorce thing. The case was even more complicated than I had earlier imagined. I just wish Felix could end the whole divorce plan because that is the only way Amelia would feel better and maybe she would decide to stop making life difficult for me. “It's really hard to go back to my peaceful days.” I muttered to myself tiredly. While I was in deep thoughts I suddenly remembered that Jackson hasn't returned yet he said he will be stepping out on a short errand and it's getting late already and he's yet to return.I realized that I have been getting very worried about him of late. I really don't know why, I can't tell if I really am falling for him already. There's so much going on right now and falling in love can't be part of
Shirley povI couldn't stop worrying about Jackson even though I tried not to bother myself too much about it. I just couldn't help but worry because while he was eating he looked like he was in deep thoughts. “Are you okay?” I asked him worriedly. Jackson raised his head and looked at me with a smile on his face as he nodded his head. “I'm fine.” He said to me almost immediately. Even though he kept saying he's fine I just know that my instincts are never wrong. There is definitely something bothering him and I'm going to find out what it is. While I was still bothering about Jackson's mood and the way he was looking bothered I felt my phone vibration on the dining table and I picked it up immediately to see who the caller is, I wasn't pleased to see that it was Alicia calling I know she's trying to beg me for forgiveness again and there is no way that I'm ready to forgive her for abandoning me for so many years. I was about to ignore the call when I realized Jackson was looking
Shirley povWhile I was driving out of the house, I kept wondering if I was making the best decision going over to see Alicia and Sharon so that I can explain to them that I’m not responsible for the divorce that Felix Is planning, I need Sharon to convince her daughter to stop blaming me because I don’t think I can be cool the next time she tries to accuse me like she always does. I heaved a sigh and increased my car speed.After a long ride I finally arrived at Sharon’s house. I was shocked to see Alicia standing outside, it looked like she was waiting for her while standing outside. I stepped out of the car and she was walking closer, I already decided to forgive her but that doesn’t mean I have gotten over the past, I just can’t get it off my mind that she is really my mom, it’s so hard to believe no matter how hard I try. “Thanks for calling me here, I’m so sorry.” Alicia said to me and hugged me. I gently stretched it and hugged her back. With time I will forgive her complete
Writer’s povFew hours ago When Shirley talked about meeting with Sharon and Alicia, Sharon thought it would be a better idea to also add Amelia because she knew the conversation Shirley was about to bring up would definitely have Amelia in it, so Amelia should be there to speak for herself which is why Sharon called her over too. “You don’t look pleased to see me,” Amelia said to Shirley with a fake smile on her face. Amelia was not pleased to meet Shirley at her parents house because Sharon didn’t tell her anything about meeting with Shirley. She only had to act like she was fine with it because she saw how upset Shirley was. She realized she could keep irritating Shirley until she finally left.Alicia joined us after taking the kids to their room, she also looked surprised to see Amelia in the house when Shirley earlier said it was just both of us she wanted to talk to. “Didn’t know you were going to invite Amelia.” Alicia said as she sat down. “Aunt you don’t look happy to see
Writer's pov“Amelia, stop creating a scene here. We are only trying to get to one understanding right now but you are making it turn to a different thing like we're having a misunderstanding here.”Amelia was pissed to hear what her mother said because she hates it whenever Sharon corrects her in the presence of Shirley. She was so upset that it was written all over her face that she was mad.And after looking at all of them seated on the couch Amelia started laughing like a psycho, Alicia was shocked including Sharon wasn't expecting it because just now she was mad at them and all of a sudden she is laughing.“Amelia, stop it, what is your problem?” Sharon asked angrily. She was feeling embarrassed because of the way Amelia was laughing in the presence of Alicia and Shirley. “Is this why you called me here?” Sharon was confused. Amelia concluded that the reason why Sharon invited her was to embarrass her in the presence of her worst enemy even though it doesn't make sense this is th
Writer's povShirley could tell there was something different about Amelia, and she might need help before it gets worse than it is now. From her facial expression to the way she sounded made it obvious that she was having a mental health issue that needed to be attended to as fast as possible. “What do you mean she might need help?” Alicia asked. I couldn't tell exactly what the problem was but I could tell that there was something wrong with her.“Have mom tried talking to Felix?” I asked curiously and I could tell from the way Alicia looked at me but she wasn't happy to hear what I called Sharon. “You know it all happened suddenly. I can't start calling you my mom now, I will have to get used to it first.” I explained to Alicia because of her expression.“It's fine, I understand.” Alicia said to me with a faint smile on her face. Just then troublesome kids rushed downstairs. ”I’m exhausted at the moment” I said this because I know that they are here to disturb me again like they
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
