(Evy's Point Of View)The brass of that bastard! How dare he call me a whore! I rode my fingers through my hair as I spurted into my office but unexpectedly paused at the person crouching on my chair at the back of the table, skimming through a file."Sebastian,"He hoisted his head at the sound of his name. He placed the file down and our eyes met. He broke into a thin smile."Hey Baby," he stood up and advanced, coming to stand in front of me."What are you doing here, you didn't tell me you were coming?" And then again, when had he ever told me he was coming before abruptly showing up in my office? His eyes flicked to my jumbled hair then my scowling face. "What's wrong baby, did something happen at the meeting?"I rolled my eyes as I thought of the bastard that tarnished my day. Ryan Ferguson was another terror I didn't want to happen. "Nothing," I retorted flatly, sauntering past him but he clasped my wrist and held me back. "What?" I almost snarled."From your reaction, I can
(Kim's Point of View)I loved Arthur!That was a realization I made upon waking up this morning. Why else would I want to stay if I didn't love Arthur?"Are you sure?" Ivy stared at me weirdly, sitting on the opposite sofa in her apartment.I nodded. "Yes, Ivy. I love Arthur. He makes me happy and makes me feel like a woman,""But Kim-"I cut her off. "I know what you are going to say. I know it's dangerous playing this game but this is Arthur and Arthur is not a game. I want to be there for him every step of the way,""What if Mrs. Evans tries anything on you or Eloise or your parents? She can't be trusted. She'd killed once and I'm sure nothing stopping her from killing again!" Ivy was apprehensive.I thought about it. "Yes, you're right, nothing is stopping her from killing again but you know me, Ivy, you know I don't give up easily and if Mrs. Evans wants a war, I'll give it to her. I'm just as rich as her,""Will you be able to kill? Will you be able to get rid of someone because
(Kim's Point of View)I stood outside the Manison, watching as a car pulled in through the gate and parked in front of me before the passenger door opened and Eloise ran out."Kim!" She yelled with delight and sprang into my arms. I laughed as I rubbed her back."Did you think about me?"She drew back from the hug and nodded excitedly. "You have no clue how much I miss you, big sister, and now we're going to see each other every day!" She jumped gleefully on her feet, but my smile faded when the driver's door opened and my mother came out. I restrained myself from puffing at the sight of her.I had last seen her and my dad at the wedding, and since then I had been the ostracized and superfluous daughter.Eloise moved to the side, allowing Mom to take her place in front of me. She seemed astonished as she swept her sight over me before pausing on my face and clearing her throat. "You are different; I almost didn't recognize you as Kim,"I rolled my eyes. "Why? Did you presume I'd end u
(Evy's Point of View) "Should we take this somewhere more private?" Those were the words that Seb whispered in my ear before he hoisted me and carried me in a bridal. I giggled as he carried me towards the bedroom and once we got there, he laid me gently on the bed. The desire in his sliver eyes caused warmth to pool in my stomach. Seb moved down and captured my lips in a sloppy kiss and his hands immediately roamed down my body to my inner thighs, I couldn't help but release a series of breathy moans into his mouth while my wetness seeped through my panties. Suddenly desperate for more, my hands went to his hair and rocked my hips into him with more force, the feeling of his erection sent me wild. I felt Seb's lips curve into a smirk and he pulled back, staring deep into my eyes. "So needy now, are we?" He smirked. "Shut up and touch me!" My breath hitched and a heavy gasp was expelled against my lips when he caressed my inner thigh. The feeling was incredible, the pressure o
(Evy's Point of View)"Please, move in with me, don't say no,"Suddenly, Seb's words rang in my ears, and the pen in my palm fell.Moving in?Wasn't that a little too quick? Although our relationship progressed quickly, was I prepared for such a commitment? I would be living with Seb as my husband.The entire idea was lovely, but it was also terrifying.I sighed, suddenly feeling exhausted. A grin started to form on my lips as I looked down at the ring on my finger. Another chance? I'd finally be happy, right? Seb would never become like him?"What's on your mind?"My head sprang up and I stared at Diana, who was standing in front of my table and the door, as I realized I hadn't noticed her walk in."Can you tell me what's on your mind?" She repeated with a head tilt. "A penny for your thoughts, you know two heads are better than one," she said as she sat down on the chair, her gaze fixed on me. I knew she wouldn't leave until I told her what I was thinking.I exhaled and leaned back
(Kim's Point of View)(MONTHS LATER)"Are you worried?" I looked across at Arthur, who was seated in his wheelchair between Lucas and me in the doctor's office.He shook his head at my question. "No," he retorted blatantly.When I looked at Lucas, he gave me a reassuring nod. I felt like I was being pricked with needles Even if they weren't anxious.Arthur's heart health had deteriorated in recent weeks, and after much convincing, he had consented to the heart transplant, but I couldn't help but be concerned as we waited for the doctor.I'd heard about heart transplants and how dangerous they could be.I groaned and waited, and after ten minutes, the door opened and Dr. Charlie strolled in with a few papers. He smiled at us."Good to see you again, Mr. and Mrs. Rodriguez," he said as he approached his seat. "I apologize for keeping you waiting; you see, I was getting Mr. Rodriguez's test results ready," he said as he sat down."What did they say?" Lucas beat me to it and we all looked
(Evy's Point Of View)I hated hospitals. I had no how idea how Diana convinced me but then again, I knew I had to come see the doctor since I didn't know what was wrong with me.Constant vomiting, wild headaches, sensitiveness, and tender breasts. It had been going on for a while now. Diana grinned as if she knew what was wrong with me but wouldn't say a word and insisted on seeing a doctor. And I had a wild guess about what was wrong with me.Sitting there in the doctor's office, we waited, and soon, the door opened and a female doctor walked in with my test results.She beamed brightly as she occupied her seat. "Sorry to have kept you waiting but I have your test results right here,""What do they say?" Diana seemed eager as she leaned on the doctor's table. "I mean I know what might be wrong with her since I've experienced it twice already but it feels nice hearing it from the doctor's lips," Her grin expanded.I placed my hand on her shoulder and held her back. "Calm down, Diana,
(Kim's Point of View)I peered down at the papers that had been thrown on my office table and flickered my gaze back to Mrs. Evans who has barged into my office a few seconds ago as if she owed the building. I didn't bother reading the papers, the heading was glaring me back in the face. "What is the meaning of this, Mrs. Evans?" I quizzed, wondering what she wanted this time. I thought I'd been cleared off her list to torment but I thought wrong.It had been months since I saw her and now she was here with a bunch of divorce and contract papers. Who did she think she was? Suddenly, I didn't have the patience to deal with her. She was energy-draining. How do anyone put up with her, perhaps, they didn't know what lay behind that smile she puts on, that deceiving mask.She scoffed. "I'm pretty sure you can read, Miss Quant, it says that your marriage to Arthur is overdue and now, the contract has come to an end,"She had to be kidding!I nearly laughed at the absurdity. "Does Arthur kn
