Mary’s fingers tightened around her purse, the corners of her mouth twitching like they had a mind of their own. Trevor’s gaze locked on Indigo with an intensity that threatened to strip her of clothing. Her heart thumped erratically in her chest, working itself to give her a heart attack. Had Trevor just confessed feelings to her and in front of his ex-wife? Her former Madam? She blinked once. Then twice. Trying to convince herself that it was real and not a dream. “I just remembered I have something doing,” she broke the silence. Her words tumbled over themselves as she wiped the lone tear that had fallen from her eyes. Without waiting for permission, she turned on her heels and walked away. A part of her wishes to see Mary’s expression but she couldn’t bring herself to. “Indigo,” She heard Trevor call but she continued walking. As soon as she closed the door, Mary let out a short laugh. “
Two days to weekend and Mary sat across from Trevor in his home office, cladded in a blue dress that accentuated her curves. The faint smell of citrus lingered in the air. After hearing the details of how Ethan had pushed her down the stairs and she had miscarried, Trevor had finally agreed to aid her in her quest to bring him down. But then, it was on the condition that she confessed all of her misdeeds to his mother. Ever since then, she’d been dropping by at his house with files of all sorts, all of which exposed not only the illegal businesses he was into but also his fetish sexual life. Trevor leaned back on his plush chair, a low sigh tearing from his lips. “We don’t have to make any mistake,” Mary said, her fingers turning white from too much squeezing. “Or Liam might end up loosing his life.” Her voice cracked at the mention of Liam’s name, hinting at the flicker of doubt that burned within her. Trevor’s eyes remained on the rough sketches he had mapped out on a paper.
The knock sounded on the door just as Lucas was about leaving for work. Phoebe had just left a few minutes ago with Ivan for school. Picking up his briefcase from a corner, Lucas adjusted the cuff of his shirt and walked towards the door. The knock came again, simultaneously as he opened the door only to see his mother standing there, a displeased look etched on her face. A bitter taste filled his mouth as her eyes slid past his shoulders before settling on his face. It’d been a week since Marcy confession, and he’d refused to take any of her calls despite Phoebe’s pleading that he at least heard her out. “Finally,” she said. “I was beginning to think that maybe you were avoiding me.” ‘I was.’ The reply danced around his lips but he bit back on his tongue. His fingers tightened around the handle of the briefcase until his knuckles paled. Ignoring her comment, he turned back towards the living room, leaving her to invite herself in. He heard her scoff as she walked past
A sigh tore out from Trevor’s lips as he dropped his pen in frustration. The numbers on his laptop blurred together as his thoughts drifted back.To indigo.She had suddenly gone quiet. Ever since the day he’d almost succeeded with his plans of keeping Phoebe, it felt like she was avoiding him. Every time he attempted to bring a conversation up, she somehow managed to make it brief. He leaned back in his chair.All week, the urge to reach out to Phoebe had tugged in his chest. But then, every time he picked up his phone, something stopped him. Guilt maybe. Or was it fear?The way Indigo had looked at him, disappointment evident in her gaze…it never left his memory.But why was it affecting him? He murmured the same question he had been asking himself since the past week. Why did he care about her opinion? She was just a maid after all.A sharp argument outside his door snapped him out of his thoughts. “I told you. You can’t just walk in…”“I don’t need permission to see...” That
Lucas’s car rolled into the driveway with a low hum before coming to a complete halt. He turned off the engine, but for a long moment, he remained where he was. The mansion stood before him, magnificent as always.But his mind was somewhere else.He hadn't planned to come home early. He’d been in
Phoebe’s laugh broke free before she could even stop it. It was short, sharp, and carried no humor at all. “I should have known,” she said. Her voice trembled despite her efforts to keep herself rooted in place. She straightened her shoulders, refusing to let him see her falter. “All the problems
It had been only a day since Ivan left but to Phoebe, it felt like a lifetime had passed. Like a large chunk of her had suddenly gone missing. Ever since she gave birth to Ivan, she’d never been separated from him. Not even once. She’d never slept a night without him. Phoebe sat at the edge of
Phoebe knocked on the door again and again, each thrust carrying the weight of the days she’d waited, the sleepless nights she'd had.
