Shirley povAfter looking around for a while it started getting clear to me that Jackson was not over his ex-wife. I walked back to the room tiredly as I was thinking about what to do next from here, even though our relationship was not a real one I still don’t want to live with someone that cannot get rid of his past. I walked back to the room tiredly and heaved a sigh while sitting on the bed, this might be harder than I thought it would be.“Maybe Amelia was right anyways.” I muttered to myself feeling very sad.###The next morning when I woke up, I stretched my body while I was still laying on the bed. Then I stood up, I could hear noise from downstairs but I couldn’t tell what was going on so I stood up from the bed and rushed downstairs to see what was going on. Shockingly it was Dylan causing the ruckus, I was scared when I saw him crying and the maids were trying to calm down.“Bring my mummy back.” Dylan pleaded to his father and even though Jackson was trying to explain to
Shirley povAfter the doctor spoke to Jackson and I, I went to Dylan's room to check up on him and he was sleeping peacefully. I stared at his face very well and recollected the first day he saw me and how he rushed to me excitedly. Maybe he thought his mom had returned already. I patted his head slowly while watching him sleep. After hearing everything the doctor said, I decided within myself that I’ll do anything and everything to make sure he gets over the horrible past that is haunting him. I was about to get up from the bed when he held unto me very tight. “Don’t go mom.” He said to me with a sleepy voice. I couldn’t leave after hearing him say that to me. I don’t know why he always think I’m about to leave him, though I know that it’s as a result of PTSD but I really want him to trust me and know that I wouldn’t leave him just like that. “I’m not going anywhere, I’m here with you.” I said to him a little above a whisper while rubbing his hands lovingly. While spending time w
Writer’s povShirley was shocked to see that Jackson had been watching her from the corridor. At first he wanted to confront her but he stopped himself from doing that and just stood there watching her. Jackson knew it was completely unlike him to do such a thing instead he would go to the person and sometimes he might do something stupid to the person. But unexpectedly he realized he was very calm about it. When she turned to look at him watching her, she froze, she knew that he warned her not to get close to the room but she still went ahead to go in, even after trying to explain herself she still couldn’t say a complete sentence without shaking. Jackson walked closer to her and she took some steps back as she looked him in the eyes,his eyes were cold, Shirley could immediately tell that he was very upset even though he was trying to hold it in. “What did I tell you about this place?” He asked, still moving closer to her. “Dylan was…” Shirley stammered and still couldn’t say anyt
Jackson povWhen I got to my other apartment were I do business, i recollected everything that happened few minutes ago and how she looked at my face, I knew she went into the secret room to get Dylan out but I knew very well that she was snooping around because he came out and she was still in there. She looked really scared when she got out which made me wonder if she was able to see anything inside the room. “I really don’t know why she acts like that.” I muttered to myself and heaved a sigh. The thought of going back to the house tonight made me tired. Maybe we shouldn’t have left mom’s house, because there it would have been easier to avoid her. “Sir, there's new information,” One of my boys said to me, I immediately snapped out of my mindless thought when I heard what he said. He lowered his head and whispered the news in my ears. I raised my head to look at him when he was done talking to me. “There’s no way I’m going to let that slide. Take him to the cell.” I ordered an
Writer’s povJackson couldn’t do anything to Logan even though he did such a terrible thing to him, he hated it so much that he couldn’t hurt Logan.“Lock him up.” Jackson ordered and kept the pistol back in the bag. Logan opened his eyes when he heard what Jackson said to the present team leader. The team leader was shocked to see Jackson was unable to do anything to Logan, he has always known Logan to be a very heartless person but all of a sudden he’s unable to do anything to Logan even after he did something Jackson hates the most.“Sir are you not going to do anything to him?” The team leader asked, finding it hard to believe that Jackson is not going to kill Jackson on the spot. “Did you not hear what I said?” Jackson asked angrily. Logan wiped his tears and raised his head to look at Jackson. “Thank you for sparing me, I promise to get your money back no matter what it takes. “I am not letting you go. I just don’t want to kill you yet, that’s the only respect I can give your
Jackson povI woke up with a banging headache even though I went to bed earlier than normal, I recalled the moment I slept on the bed. I still had my socks and other things on because I slept unexpectedly. I suddenly remembered the time I woke up and sighted someone in the room though my vision was blur I could tell it was Shirley that came into my room last night, somehow I would definitely find out the truth. I stood up from the bed and headed downstairs with my hand on my head because I was having a banging headache. When I got downstairs I sat on the couch and requested a cup of coffee. While I was waiting for the maid to get my cup of coffee I sighted Shirley and Dylan walking down the stairs, I smiled at Dylan because I knew he would definitely come greet me before leaving. Dylan looked at me and headed to the dinning without coming over to where I was seated. I was confused because Dylan would never do such a thing on a normal day so I could tell he was upset with me and did
Shirley povI could tell their conversation was very tense, I didn’t know what to say. I headed back to the sitting room when I realized that Jackson left his mother all by herself in the sitting room when they were in the middle of an important conversation. “How are you managing to stay here with him?” She asked me as she was sitting on the couch.“He’s been really good to me.” I replied to her almost immediately.“You know you can talk to me, I’m his mother, I know how hard he can be.” Yvonne said to me. So far he has really been good to me so I had nothing to complain about.“Thanks but he’s been really good to me.” I insisted because I was telling the truth. Yvonne had no other choice but to believe what I said to her. She looked troubled, I could tell there was something she wanted to tell me but she was finding it hard to say it to me. “It’s her memorial in a few days.” I opened my eyes wider than normal when I heard what Yvonne said to me, Jackson was on his way back to the
Shirley pov“What is going on here?” I asked all of them who were seated.“Sit down, have you forgotten what today is?” Amelia asked. I was confused because I couldn’t recall what it was. “What is it?” I asked Amelia curiously so that she could tell me by herself what the day is about.“Oh, mom, I can’t believe you wasted so many years training someone that cannot even remember your birthday.” I opened my eyes wider than normal, though I didn’t make it obvious that I was shocked, I wanted to give them the impression that I didn’t care about what the day is about, just to show them that I didn’t care about them anymore.“So why am I here? Birthdays are meant to be spent with your family, I’m not supposed to be here.” I picked my bag when I felt someone grab onto me tightly. I turned to look at who was holding me and realized it was Sharon.“Sit down.” She said to me calmly, I looked at her face and I almost forgot all that she made me go through. I removed my hand from her grip as sh
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
