Shirley pov

Jackson was finally conscious after some hours. I was relieved to see him healthy again. I can't believe I almost killed my husband just because I didn't know what he's allergic to.

“I'm so sorry about this, I shouldn't have tried to act like I knew you too well.” I apologized to him sincerely.

“It's fine, you don't have to be guilty, how were you supposed to know that I don't eat apples when I never said anything about my allergies to you? At least now you know.” Jackson said to me and smiled.

He sounded so calm and he wasn't angry at all.

Though I was feeling guilty but after hearing what he said I felt better, he was completely understanding and that made me feel good.

While we were at it the nanny called my phone, I was wondering why she was calling because I had settled everything for Dylan.

“Ma'am, Dylan has been crying since he got back from school, I have tried practically everything to calm him down but he's still crying, I don't know what to do anymore.” The nan

    Shirley pov I stared at his face waiting patiently to hear what he was about to tell me, he looked so serious which got me a little worried. “What is it?” I asked when he still wasn't saying anything. “I was invited to a birthday party.” I couldn't believe my ears, did he just want to tell me this? “Oh.” “Yeah, and you will have to come with me, it's a birthday party.” I dropped my spoon mistakingly the moment I heard what he said. “Look, I know that was not the agreement we had, the only reason why we are here together is because we wanted to help each other, you take care of the kid, while I your family issues, but this is….” “Why are you explaining so much, there's nothing wrong about attending a birthday party with you.” “Are you sure about what you're saying? Thought you dropped the spoon because you were shocked.” “No, that was a mistake. It's a birthday party so I'm in.” I said to him with a smile on my face. I decided to concentrate on Dylan since he is st

    Shirley povIt is finally the day and I couldn’t tell Jackson last night about the reunion because he was having a very bad time, maybe it’s for the best, I should just go alone and think of what to tell them when I get there. I looked at the dress I brought out again and realized it might not be good enough, it’s better I wear the limited edition, if I’m not going with him I should still try to stand out.I picked out the dress and went into the bathroom to have my shower. When I was done showering I walked out of the bathroom and sat on the bed. I wore something very comfortable and headed out of the room. Dylan wouldn’t be going to school today, he’s going to be homeschooled for the day so I didn’t bother trying to take him to school. “Good morning.” The maid greeted with a smile on her face. “Has he left?” I asked the maid.“Yes, not too long ago.” She replied almost immediately. I can’t even tell him about it even though he’s not going there he should at least be aware of it

    Writer’s povThe reunion was over before they knew it. They all headed back to their house and it was just Felix, Shirley, Jackson, Amelia and Micheal that were left on the table. “This has to be the worst day for me this week.” Amelia said with a faint smile on her face. She was so pissed and she wasn’t ready to hide it. She brushed her hand backwards, refusing to make eye contact with Shirley because she might try to do something stupid. “Why did you lie to them?” Shirley asked Amelia angrily. Amelia exhaled sharply when she heard what Shirley asked her. “Why do you always like to act highly of yourself? Why do you always have to make me feel so little?” Amelia asked Shirley angrily. Shirley was confused when she heard what Amelia said to her. “What are you talking about?” Shirley asked. She angrily stood up and walked to the toilet because she was not ready to start that conversation with Amelia. Jackson noticed what was going on even though he was having a not so friendly c

    Shirley’s povWhile we were on our way back to the house I couldn’t stop stealing glances at him trying to imagine how he was able to tell that I was having my school reunion today and he came without telling me and even came with a flower, I was so happy that I didn’t know what to say, I made sure that Amelia and no one else ruins the kind of happiness I was feeling because it’s something I have never felt in a very long time. I was very pleased that he took the initiative to be there and he was really caring all through the time he was there with me, he made sure I was comfortable and even came with a flower. I turned to look at him and realized he was looking at me so I looked away immediately feeling very shy. “I shouldn’t have turned.” I said to myself while I was feeling too shy to look towards his side again after meeting with his eyes a few seconds ago. “Why did you not tell me about the reunion?” He finally asked. I have been waiting for him to ask me a question or tell m

Everything was so in Place and it was good enough to be called the last memorial party for Jackson’s ex-wife. We arrived at the mansion and walked into the house, guests were already arriving in the house and some of them were not aware of my marriage with Jackson, it was then I realized what Yvonne was trying to say when she told me she was doing everything for my own good because clearly it was really for my own good. Now they know that he’s married to me and the situation is getting less awkward than it was earlier. I was more concerned about how her family would react when they saw me. They might get upset when they see me because they refused to attend my wedding. “Are you okay?” Yvonne whispered in my ears and I turned to look at her immediately. She smiled when I looked at her. “I’m a little nervous, I don’t know how his ex-wife family would react when they s

    Shirley povI walked away angrily because I already had enough of her blabbing, I really couldn't stand her talking to me, she already did part of what she said she was going to do so it would be better for me to walk away and stop hearing her talk so much. “I'm so upset.” I muttered angrily and sat down at the other side so that I could calm my nerves and it will help me feel better as well. I stood up and started walking, I didn't know where I was headed the only thing that was on my mind was when Amelia and I were inseparable, memories like that made me happy back then but I don't know anymore if it's supposed to be a good or bad memory because I got to know that she never really liked me, she was only having fun deceiving me.“She must have had so much fun.” I muttered to myself and scoffed as I was struggling not to let the years fall. Every word she said back there hurt me really bad but I had to try and act like I was fine while listening to her. I realized I walked down to t

Yesterday was an eye opener to him, he was able to see how much time had gone by and the realization hit him again that he will never see her again or hear her voice. “Shit h

    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 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

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.
