Shirley pov

Before I could ask him any question he placed his lips on mine, I couldn’t resist it because it’s not just what the crowd wants, it’s also what I want. We kissed passionately and almost forgot it’s our wedding.

“This can continue in the room later.” The wedding host announced and there was laughter from the crowd as we both stopped. I was so shy that I couldn’t look him in the eyes after the hot kiss we shared. I raised my head shyly to look at the crowd and they were still smiling and having little side talks. The only person that her eyes were fixed towards my direction was none other than my sister, or rather my parents' biological daughter and her husband. He angrily stood up and walked away, looking like he was affected by the hot kiss.

Our eyes met and she smirked before looking away while shaking her glass of wine in a stirring form.

I knew she wasn’t happy for me and good thing she’s not pretending to be. It was time to greet the guests. It was supposed to be a l

    Shirley povI was still very mad at him for leaving me like that at the party after he promised he was going to protect me from them no matter what the problem might be. I had to face my mom and my sister that way and also the other family members that are not in support of the both of us being together. When I got to the room I sat on the bed tiredly, I didn’t know what to do and I didn’t want to be there with them because I knew very well that they are not genuinely happy for me. While I was sitting alone in the room someone walked in. “Mom, are you not happy?” Dylan asked the moment he walked into the room. I had to put on a fake smile the moment he asked the question.“What are you talking about?” I asked, pretending not to understand what he was talking about. Dylan sat beside me and rested his head on my shoulder. Judging from the way he was behaving I could already tell that my actions were too obvious and his father might think I am not doing my own part of the bargain properl

    Writer’s pov After the party everyone had already gone back to their houses. Shirley was not over what happened earlier at the house seeing her precious aunt being just like her mom and dad got her very disappointed. She somehow knew what the situation would be. She was only in denial because at the end of the day they are families.“I just want to wake up from this horrible nightmare.” Shirley muttered to herself as she laid on the bed. The moment she laid on her bed Jackson walked into the room. “What are you doing here?” Shirley asked Jackson, still a little too startled to get her composure.“Why would you even ask me such a question?” Jackson asked as he was removing his shirt. Shirley covered her eyes when she saw him shirtless. “Can you leave already!” She asked at the top of her voice. Jackson was puzzled by her reaction because he was not expecting her to react the way she was reacting.“What are you talking about?” Jackson asked her as he was wondering why she was behaving

    Shirley povThe next morning I woke up and he was gone. I couldn’t believe my eyes. Why is he gone so early in the morning? I stood up from the bed and headed out of the room so that I could walk down the stairs and get myself a bottle of water. While I was walking downstairs I sighted Amelia walking upstairs. I rolled my eyes displeased. “What a bad way to start my morning.” I muttered to myself and heaved a sigh. It's so uncomfortable living with someone you don’t like because why do I suddenly feel like I’m suffocating. “You really don’t know when to give up right?” I stopped on my tracks the moment I heard what she said. I turned back to look at her and smirked. “Are you really dumb or you are just pretending to be?” I asked angrily because I knew very well that I’m the one that’s supposed to be upset and not her. “You think because you are married to his uncle you have the right to speak to me just the way you like?” Amelia asked. I couldn’t hold in the laughter after hearing w

    WRITER’S POV Shirley stepped out of the house without replying to Felix, she knew that he was only trying to piss her off, and say things that would ruin her night. Good thing they would be leaving tonight. I stepped into the car a little upset. I can’t believe he was buying the clothes because they were his ex-wife’s favorites, I was so stupid to think that he was actually getting them because they suit me very well. When I got to the venue I suddenly lost interest and wished I could take back time, then I would avoid going for the dinner. I swallowed the hurt I was feeling and headed inside. One of the receptionists rushed over to where I was standing and directed me to the room.She opened the VIP area and I was shocked to see that it was not a private dinner, instead it was a mini party, all his friends were present with their wife. I gently took a few steps to go join him at the front table. The moment he sighted me he walked up to me and held my hand as we both headed to the

    WRITER’S POVShirley returned to the house she was shocked to see that Felix and Amelia hadn't left the house and the first person she saw when she got to the house was Felix. He was sitting on the couch like he was intentionally waiting for me to return home. “Welcome back uncle.” Shirley turned to look at Felix when she heard his voice, she knew that the only reason why Felix was greeting so respectfully was because he might need help from Jackson as that’s the kind of person he is. “Why are you still here?” Jackson asked Felix who was looking really surprised to hear the question Jackson asked. “Grandma said she wasn’t done fulfilling the promise she made to her younger sister so there’s no way we would leave just like that. Jackson was furious he hates when his orders are not being followed just the way he wants. “Mom said that?” Jackson asked and angrily picked out his phone from his pocket Shirley was scared because of how angry he looked, he looked like he was about to do s

    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.

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

    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

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.
