~JAXON~

“Hi, is this Mr Pierce?” A lady on the other end asked pleasantly.

“ Yes and who is this?” I ask as I try to decode the voice on the other side of the phone.

“Can you please come down to Brook Hospital?”. Your wife got into an accident and she is in surgery.

“What the fuck did you just say?”. I yelled at the person on the other side of the phone. A lot of thoughts ran through my mind as I was confused on how Arya must have gotten into an accident, when she only told me she was going

    ~ROSE~“Come here..” Brian grabs me by my hand and drags me up the stairs to our room. “Let go of me, you're hurting me”. I protested. “Where have you been?”. He sounded angry but more than I expected I have never seen him like this before it scared me. “Let go of me first, you're hurting me”. I cried and he flung me to the bed like a piece of paper.“Now tell me where you have been”, his eyes darken, his voice scarry. “I..i..was..”. I began to stutter.“Damn It..” he punched the wall beside him. “Stop your stuttering and speak before I lose it”. He yells. “You have been ghosting me for the past weeks”. “You only come around me when you are horny”. “And all we do is fight and argue”. I wasn't stopping, I was way past stopping.“I don't remember the last time we had the love conversations we used to or any conversation to be precise”. “And you let your dad talk down on me”.“Brian when was the last time you told me you loved me”. “When was the last time you made me feel spec

    ~ROSE~“I knew there was a reason I was drawn to you”. Derek laughed. And I couldn't bring any words out from my mouth. We went back into the room that we were just coming out from. “How have you been?” he held my hand as we sat next to each other on the only chair in the room. My eyes are full of tears. I had a lot to say but the words weren't just coming out of my mouth. “I..i…” Those were the only words I could say, my voice breaking and I burst into tears. “Why are you crying”. He hugs me and pats my head. I could say any and my tears kept rolling down my cheeks. “I hate you”. Those were the first probably words I could say. “I hate you”. I said it again, this time hitting his chest hard and crying louder. He just held me in his arms without saying a word. I hit him until I could not and I became weak. “I am sorry Rose”. He said and held me tight. I cried until the tears dried up in my eyes and we could have a proper conversation. “Why didn't you reach out to me all thos

    ~ROSE~“This club is lit”. I said excitedly the moment we talked into the club. No one could possibly think there was a club right below the hostel. It was an underground club. I have been to a few clubs in Washington but this club is definitely different. Now I was feeling the party vibe. “Honey..” Frida ran into Ray's arms when she saw him. He lifts her up with her thighs wrapped around his body and they kiss each other passionately. Before he carefully drops her back on her feet. “Guess who I came with”, she turned back to where I was standing and pulled my hand to bring me closer to her. “Rose?”. He asked, his voice now sounded deeper than I used to know. He appears taller and masculine and much more handsome as well. I was already getting jealous of Frida. “Yes.!”. Frida said excitedly. “Come here..”. he pulls me in for a hug. His scent of tobacco and whiskey got me trippin. “It's good to see you again”. I said , hugging him back. “It's good to see you as well”. You l

    ~ROSE~“You are married now, who is the lucky man?" Frida asked, looking at my ring. His name is Brian. I began to tell Frida about Brian and how we got married. I also tell her about my dad's wife Clara and my step sister Arya. “So you mean Jaxon won the best new business award instead of your husband?”. Frida asked after I told her all that has been going on for the past few months. “Exactly”. I replied. Now it happens that my husband has an older brother I was never aware of and it seems he is going to lose his position in the company to him. “That must not happen”. Frida said, her tone a little upset. “ And how was Jaxon able to deceive us all ''. “even my dad was not aware of his automobile company”. She added. “How about we talk on how to put things in place over some drinks”. Frida suggested. “Ray is in town and you remember his cousin Derek. he is also in town”. She smiled at me. “I really need to relieve some stress, so why not”. I said and we had a good laugh. “I

    ~ROSE~Brian don't you dare walk out on me. I followed him round the room trying to make sure he completed whatever statement that he was just about to say to me. Ever since his dad came back he has been nothing but a pain in the ass. He spends less time at home, and sometimes he doesn't even come home at all. His father has turned me into a typical traditional wife. I now wake up very early in the morning and go to the church morning service and do some voluntary work which is not out of my will just to please Mr Baxter. After Brain meeting with his dad weeks back. I had hired a personal investigator to find out what was happening between father and son and if truly Brian had a brother. Mr Baxter's eldest son Patrick indeed arrived a few days later. He appears to be dominating and up tight. I see why his father trusts the business more to him than to Brian who is just weak. Both father and sons stayed in the study room for hours when Patrick arrived in Washington. Unlike the la

    ~ARYA~I woke up feeling pains all over my body. I open my eyes slowly and try to observe my surroundings. Just then a lady walked through the door. “You're awake”. She sounded excited. My ears picked up sounds more than they should and I covered my ears tightly when she continued talking. Tears streamed down from my eyes and I couldn't move my body. The last thing I remember was entering a taxi from the art gallery center. Now I find myself in a hospital in this condition. What must have happened to me more tears heated up in my eyes and flowed like a river. The nurse gave me a shot and darkness slowly consumed me. “Mrs Arya, can you hear me?”. I woke up again not sure if it was the same day but I woke to a masculine voice calling my name as he flashes a light in my eyes. “Thank goodness she's stable now”. He said but my eyes were now closed. I had the urge to open them and see what was happening, i had the urge to speak but i just couldn't. I could hear the door of my room ope

    ~ROSE~“Brian, when is your dad finally going to hand the company over to you?”. I asked my husband as I munched from my plate of food at the dining table, and just like always he walked out and the only response I got from him was we had a long evening already and we should get some rest.
