_KIMBERLY_
Night had fallen in the blink of an eye and the house was quiet and dark. I walked into the kitchen as I threw my hand over my mouth when a yawn escaped my lips. I was exhausted but my thoughts couldn't give me peace.
My mind kept running and I gave up on falling asleep a few hours ago. The bed was cold without Oliver and the empty space besides me kept reminding me of what happened today. Or yesterday, depending on the time.
After Olivia, Anastasia and I returned home, I had the help prepare a room for Olivia. We later had dinner together but Olivia insisted that she was not hungry so, she went straight to bed.
The silence during the meal was heavy and we barely talked. Lora barely touched her food and she left the meal in the middle so that she could get to bed. I couldn't blame her though since I understood how she felt.
Oliver was all she had.
Reaching the fridge, I pulled it open and looked at everything t

_KIMBERLY_After our first visit to the hospital, the burden in my heart and mind was lighter. I went through the days happily and things were looking up for me.Having heard about the news, the teachers at the ballet school cheered me up and their support was endearing. Some gave me flowers while others stopped to check up on me regularly. Even my little ballerinas were so sweet to Lora that it somewhat restored some of my faith in humanity.Currently, I was at the school and I was impatient to go home. I had left Olivia and Ana decorating the house since Oliver was coming back today.It's been three days without him and I was glad that the doctors were comfortable enough to send him back to us. Things were coming together nicely and I should be over the moon.Well, I am but things were going too well. Nothing else came up and William didn't contact me at all. For someone who was determined to ruin my life, he was taking his time and

_OLIVER_ I looked at all the happy faces around the table and I felt elated to be back home. Being around people who valued me this much was more important than any medication. Being in the hospital gave me so much time to think and I realized how serious things were getting. This wasn't something that could be easily solved and after having a taste of death, it was terrifying. This discovery made me even more determined to end everything. I had a feeling that my car was purposely tempered with and I had an idea of who that might be. I thought about Lora and everybody else important to Kimberly and I. If William Wingate could go this far then who knows how further he would go. I remembered Ana's words about what kind of man that Willam was and they made me feel uneasy. Pushing these thoughts aside, I sighed and focused on what was in front of me. My beautiful family. I never get to see Lora cry often and having her bawling in my

_KIMBERLY_ "Are you sure that it's okay to leave?" Olivia asked for the umpteenth time that afternoon and Oliver put his hand on his waist as he stared at her strictly. "It's alright. I'm a grown man and I promise that I will do everything you've said." "But I want to make sure that you are okay, Oliver." "And I am." "Are you sure? What if it starts to hurt and I'm not here?" "It won't. Kim and the others will take good care of me so, it won't have an opportunity to hurt." "Can't you see that I'm concerned?" She asked, her tone raising a bit. "Any Mom would be uncomfortable after her child gets this injured." "Mom-" "No, Oliver. We haven't even found out what really happened with your car. You can't just tell me to leave." "Don't behave like I'm chasing you away!" He yelled and Olivia looked at him in shock. She pursed her lips in frustration, making Oliver release a heavy sigh."I ju

_KIMBERLY_I parked my car in the parking lot of Lora's school and leaned back into my chair with a heavy sigh. I was late. There were barely any cars in the parking lot and I was anxious about Lora's reaction to this after I had insisted on picking her up this morning.It was all Oliver's fault!"Let's take a short nap," he said."I'll wake you up so don't worry," he said.What was supposed to be a short nap would have kept us in bed until the evening if it wasn't for one of the maids, who called Oliver to ask for another day off, hadn't woken us up.I got out of the car and locked the door before walking into the building. I didn't know where to start looking for her so I peeked into every class I passed through.I kept reminding myself to calm down because I was only twenty minutes late and it could have been worse."Excuse me," a man called and I turned to face a short, slim man with brown hair. "Are you

_KIMBERLY_I was going to meet a detective and talk about my problems with William with him.I laughed softly. I couldn't believe it.I had to talk about something that I have failed to take to the authorities no matter how many times I thought about it. It made me relieved though. It gave me a certain sense of freedom, but at the same time, it scared me.William always found out things about me as though he has been watching. I almost feel like he is watching my every move. What if he finds out that I'm talking to detective Jun and he attacks me directly?I didn't want more blood on my hands and I was tired of carrying every burden of blame that he put on my shoulders.Despite my fear, the thought of having him behind bars made me hopeful. This was a gamble that could either make things better or make them worse. A gamble that literally had my life depending on it.Oliver had a talk with the detective earlier and they o

_KIMBERLY_I looked around the cafe that we agreed to meet detective Jun and saying that I was anxious was an understatement. This little cafe was warm and peaceful. The place had a cute nature design and it was filled with people, showing me that it was a popular place.Despite the soft atmosphere mixed with the sounds of conversation that was going about, these two things made me even more restless. This place was filled with people. What if William sent someone to spy on me?Oliver rested his hand on top of mine and I looked at him. "Are you okay?" he asked.I gave him a small, nervous smile and replied, "I'm not.""Still feeling nervous?""Yeah. I can't help but feel like I'm doing something wrong.""Sometimes we need more than our own strength to get things done. He's been tyrannizing you for too long and he needs to be stopped.""I understand that, but my family is on the line." I let out a deep sigh. "I don

_KIMBERLY_My body trembled as Oliver increased his pace. I moaned softly as he went deeper into me and my grip around his neck tightened. Oliver was seated on the bed as I sat on top of him.Our bodies faced each other as we moved together. Oliver's breath was hot against my chest and I panted as I leaned into him more. My mind was hazy and all my attention was where he pleasured me.He reached out and fondled my chest with his hand. A small whimper left my lips and I leaned down to kiss him. Our lips moved roughly against each other as as we pleased ourselves and I moaned loudly when my body reached its peak.My body slumped against Oliver as I tried to catch my breath. Oliver's hand dropped to my thighs as he caressed them softly while we both calmed down.I held his shoulders and pushed myself away from him. He stared at me with a goofy smile that I couldn't help but laugh. What a weird face to make after sex.

_KIMBERLY_"Interesting," Detective Jun said as he looked at my phone, that lay on the table in front of him.Oliver and I invited him over to talk about the phone call that I had received from William last night. As agreed, I recorded the entire conversation. Now, we were all seated in the living room as I played the recording.Things were becoming dangerous so, Oliver sent Lora to stay with Olivia while we tried to get things under control. I sat next to him and his hand was over my shoulders while the detective sat across from us."What do you think?" Detective Jun asked me. "Is it worth it?""Of course, it is. I don't want any harm to come to the people around me," I answered, feeling insulted that he questioned the worth of the situation."Then what do you want to do?""I want to do whatever I can to ensure the safety of everyone including myself.""Do you want this man behind bars?""Of course. I want
