Jackson pov

When 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

    Shirley pov“Good morning Jackson.” I greeted with a smile on my face the moment he got to the sitting room. I could tell he was still upset from the way he didn't bother replying to my greeting. The dinning was set so it was time for breakfast. I took Dylan to the dinning and we sat together. I realized it was better living like Jackson doesn't exist in the house. Only that way would we be able to live peacefully. “Mom,” Dylan called with a smile on his face. “Didn't you promise we would be going on vacation with dad.” I opened my eyes wider than normal, it was just something I said a few days ago to calm him down because he was crying. “Dylan, we're having breakfast, what did I teach you about manners?” I said to him trying to stop him from saying more that'll make Jackson angrily leave the dinning.Just when everything had died down my phone rang out loud, I picked it up immediately and checked the caller, it was someone I had hoped wouldn't call.I quietly picked the call tryin

    Shirley povThe maid got me a glass of water to aid me to stop coughing, after drinking it, I handed the cup back to her.“Do you feel better now?” Yvonne asked and I nodded my head because I was really feeling better.“You would need to host it, and let them know it's going to be the last because you are here now.” I opened my eyes wider than normal because that was really a cold thing to do, I couldn't imagine myself saying something so cold and heartless.“You think you cannot do it?” Yvonne asked, clearly she could tell from the look on my face that I was not going to say such a thing.“I don't think I can, that would be very cold of me, her family would be here.” “I thought so too, you know I was in your place once.” I was shocked to hear what she said, does it mean she's not Jackson’s biological mother?“He was married to the woman of the house for more than ten years but they had nothing to show for it, then she ended up dying from thinking too much, not long after I got marri

    Shirley's povThe face didn't look in any way familiar to me, so I was wondering why she wanted to speak to me.“Hello, my name is Tivona and I would love to have a word with you.” “Me?” I asked to confirm if I heard correctly.“Yes you.” She repeated. I was wondering what it is she wants to talk about, could it be something so serious? I decided to step out of the car and hear what she wants to tell me.“Ma'am I saw your car parked on the highway so I already knew what your plan was.” I looked around me trying to see if there's anyone else around that she might he speaking to “So.. what was my plan?” I asked curiously because she sounded like she knew me very well so I would also like to know what the plan she saw was.“It might be very rough right now, but I promise you it's just a phase, suicide isn't always the best option.” I held in the laughter as well as I could. I didn't want her to feel stupid that’s why I did that. I don't know why she would think I was planning on commit

    Writer's povJackson noticed that Shirley's eyes were fixed on something in particular then he realized he was still holding the gun he was with earlier. “Oh, sorry.” He said and fixed the gun into the bag he was holding, even though he did that, Shirley was still scared, the fact that he had a gun around the house is what scared her the most. She didn't know what she was getting herself into when she agreed to marry him that day.“The doctor called and said you visited.” Shirley was still trying to recover from the gun she just saw and so she was unable to think clearly. “Shirley, did you hear what I just said?” Jackson asked her.“Sorry, what did you say?” Shirley asked.“Look, I'm sorry if I have been mean and rude to you, it's just that I have a lot to deal with these days and it's mentally draining me.” Shirley was not in any way focused when he was talking, she just smiled and raised her head to look at him.“It's fine, what were you saying?” She asked again curiously because

    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 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 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.
