INICIAR SESIÓNNancy’s POVIt was Saturday. The doorbell rang.“I’ll get it!” Liam screamed excitedly as he ran towards the door. Andrew left that morning to attend a business meeting so Liam couldn’t sit still as he awaited his father with the anticipation of a child. “Liam no! You’re not allowed to get the door. You’re not old enough yet remember? Besides, if it was your father, he would just walk in. Why don’t you go upstairs and remind granny to take her medicine while I get the door?” I said and ruffled his hair. “Okay mommy!” He said and dashed upstairs. I shook my head in amusement as I watched him go. How did children have so much energy?I furrowed my brows as I walked towards the door, wondering who it could be. My eyes widened when I pulled the door open and stood face to face with Colton Earnshaw, Catherine’s brother. On reflex, my mind went back to the day he had found me crying on the road, just after I saw the video Catherine had sent me. I cringed internally when I remembered how
Nancy’s POVEverything had been going well lately. Andrew went to work in the mornings and came to see Liam and I right after. It felt like I was living in a dream, one where nothing could go wrong, because I trusted Andrew. I trusted that he wouldn’t do anything to hurt me, and I trusted him when he said he would find a way to end the contract he made with the Earnshaws.At times, I felt stupid and naïve. I told myself I was believing in something that didn’t exist. That sooner or later, life would remind me that I truly had no one to count on but myself. I mean how much longer until Andrew got tired of Liam and I, how much longer until something terrible happened to quench all this happiness I had been feeling. Even my mother had started smiling again because the atmosphere at home had been so jolly lately. Liam was the happiest I had ever seen him and I wanted nothing to take that away from him. I didn’t want it to end. I had been sad for so long, suffered for so long, lost my bro
Catherine’s POV“Oh Miss Earnshaw. It’s a pleasure to have you on this fine morning! Please, please have a seat.” Jerry gestured towards a chair opposite him and in front of his desk. I sat down with an angelic and sweet smile on my face. Jerry was one of my father’s business partners and he was the director of one of the biggest child protection services in America. My father and I had been donating to the establishment for years, in order to give ourselves a good name as we prepared for our expansion in America. Jerry loved and respected my family, he basically worshipped us, and I knew he had a soft spot in his heart for me. I knew I would be able to manipulate him into doing whatever I wanted. “I must say Miss Earnshaw, it has been a while since any of us have seen your face around here. When you called to schedule a meeting, I was very glad. You must visit more often, especially now that you and your father will be in America for a while.” He spoke with a genuine smile on his f
Catherine’s POV“Colton!” I screamed at my brother. “Are you even listening to a word I am saying?” He was focused, smiling at something on his phone and ignoring me. I walked quickly towards him and snatched the phone away from him. He immediately stood up and tried to grab the phone but I already saw what the hell he was looking at. He raised his brows at me and gestured at me to hand his phone back to him. “God, what are you, crazy or something? Give me back the device you animal!” He said in a teasing tone and snatched the phone back away from me. I was so hot with anger I thought I was about to lose my mind. I walked towards him and gave his chest a hard shove and he took one step back, staring at me in disbelief.“Oh Catherine, what the hell is your problem now? What do you want? Why did you come to my house? You know the reason I bought a whole house here in America was because I didn’t want to have to live with you and dad and deal with both of you, so what is it? Why did y
Nancy’s POVI think I woke up the next morning with a smile on my face. I knew Andrew had spent the night. When we finished making love the night before, we took a bath together, cleaning ourselves just like old times while sharing silly little kisses. He was very silly last night because he was still drunk before we fell asleep. I had felt his arms around me while my head lay on his chest.But as I opened my eyes that morning, my heart fell to my stomach. He was gone. I frowned and looked around the room. Then I woke up quickly, tied my hair in a bun and put on some more appropriate clothes. I felt sad as I entered the bathroom and realized he wasn’t there either. A wave of coldness suddenly drenched me. Loneliness. I felt alone again.I started overthinking, telling myself I had been stupid again. I had trusted him last night, allowed myself to be seduced by him when all he wanted in his drunken state was to use me and then leave like nothing happened. I had acted like some needy wh
Nancy’s POVFor a moment I didn’t kiss him back. I didn’t feel angry like I thought I would. All I felt was a blinding pleasure pooling between my legs. My head was spinning and I was almost sure his kiss had just made me as drunk as he was. My eyes widened when he placed his hands on the small of my back and I came back to my senses, placing my hands on his chest and deepening the kiss.I didn’t care about the consequences. All I could think about was here and now. He was here and he was holding me and that was all that mattered. All the loneliness that I had felt lately evaporated, leaving only a sense of warmth and safety in his arms.“You look so good in this nightgown, you know?” he said against my lips making me moan as I let him put his tongue in my mouth. I ran my fingers through his hair and he seemed to like it because he whimpered and placed his hand on the wall behind us, as if to steady himself.He suddenly broke the kiss and too two steps back from me. I froze.Cold. I f
Nancy’s POVA week had passed. Liam’s operation was successful and he could even walk now. He was still in pain but he was healing really fast. All thanks to the blood Andrew had donated. It was a minor operation and most of the complications came from the fact that he was bleeding internally. If
Nancy’s POVI was pacing back and forth, trying to keep it together. Trying not to let myself crumble in front of Andrew. I didn’t know why I felt this way. For four years I had been strong. I hadn’t shed a single tear for years but after Liam’s accident I have felt like the universe was against me.
Nancy’s POVI didn’t let Andrew drive me home.He offered, twice actually, his voice calm but insistent, his hand already reaching for his phone like the decision had been made without me. I shut it down immediately. I didn’t want to sit in another car with him, didn’t want the silence, the tension,
Andrew’s POVI held Nancy in my arms and time seemed to slow down. Her weight against my chest felt good and for a moment I forgot there were other people in the room with us.I saw Catherine stiffen beside me as I lifted Nancy and placed her in Colton’s bed. If I hadn’t mentioned it before, Cather
