After gathering more courage, I brought my hands to the door and I did the dreadful. I knocked. Not once, not twice, multiple times to ensure he heard it. Then I brought my hand down and placed my bottom lips between my teeth, waiting patiently for the door to be opened.After some time, I was about to raise my hand to the door to knock again, but before I could, the door opened and my heart flew. Everything I practiced to say flew out the window as I stared at him.There was a glare on his face as he opened the door, probably out of frustration, but when he saw it was me, the stern look on his face instantly softened. He didn't expect to see me there.“Hey" my voice had turned raspy. I had to clear my throat to try again. “Hello"“Lindsay," he said with his intense eyes scanning me. I was dressed off. Common I just ran away from a vow renewal.“I came to see you"I forced a smile on my trembling lips.He didn't say anything, he stepped back a bit with the door wide open, gesturing me
Marrying Shaun wasn't a problem. If I wanted to marry him I needed to tell him everything but before that, there was something I needed to do first and that was to officially divorce Asher.I sat in my room with my luggage. I was nervous. Asher wasn't home yet. Neither was Leia. This was the first time I would be seeing him after the vow renewal incident. I knew he was going to be angry, but I didn't care. It was the end. He could take Leia if he wanted. With Shaun's power, I can always get Leia back.I heard the front door close and the sound of giggles from Leia. I knew they were back. I stood up immediately and dragged my luggage out. I stood on the stairs waiting for Asher to see me and he did.The moment Asher saw me, the smile on his face left. His eyes left mine and they landed on the luggage in my hands.“I'm leaving Asher" I blurted out.“To where mum?" I could see the fear in her eyes.“Asher I'm done with this marriage. I'm getting a divorce and I mean it"He snickered. “Ar
Lindsay's POV.“What?" Was he joking? I scoffed because it was indeed ridiculous. I knew Asher never mentioned anything about his parents or his family, but such a coincidence of him being Shaun's brother was highly unlikely.“You are married to Francesco?" he asked when he finally found his word. He looked very devastated.Was Asher Francesco? I didn't know and I didn't want to ask. All I was interested in was convincing Shaun to stay with me even though everything about the both of us was a lie.“I didn't know how to say it. I just... Just wanted to feel loved. He did it, Shaun. All those bruises on my body that you had seen. It was all him. You have to believe me Shaun" tears trickled down my cheeks.I noticed how his eyes softened, but he still looked hurt. “He is my fuckin brother Lindsay. Don't you get it?" “He never told me he had a brother nor a family. He is a liar. Shaun please."“And about you being married?“ He asked, but I couldn't say anything. I just continued cryingH
Shaun's POVI tossed a bottle of wine in my hand to the wall in anger. “Fuck you, Francesco!" I roared in anger. I was wrong, tossing the bottle wasn't going to do anything. I couldn't stop thinking about her. Why couldn't I stop thinking about her? Why did everything fucking remind me of her?“Shaun take it easy. You can just move on with another girl" Bella spoke and I scoffed."She's not worth this” Pablo added.The two of them stood a few feet from me, staring at me like I had lost my mind. Of course, I lost my mind. The woman I had always been crazy about was married to my brother. The same brother trying to get me killed. Why did it have to be Francesco for Christ's sake? He disappeared for 13 years and now he was the husband of the woman I loved so much.How could she do this to me? I slipped to the floor as I rummaged my hands through my head."I didn't think that bastard was still alive,” Bella said, but I didn't give a reply.All I could think of was him laying his hands on
Lindsay’s POV I stared at the food in front of me in revulsion. Asher had made it. I didn’t know why he did it because a normal person was supposed to be angry. Asher, on the other hand, chose to give me food, but give me the silent treatment. “You aren’t eating?” he asked. That had to be the third complete sentence he had said to me in a week. Yes, he hated me so much to even look at me, or talk to me. Well, the feeling was mutual. I couldn’t love a man who murdered my baby in cold blood. I was waiting for me to get back on my feet before thinking of a way to get the divorce I always wanted. “Because I don’t feel like it,” I said with a stern look on my face. I didn’t look at him while talking. I hated him too much to do that. He knew I hated him, yet he still kept pushing his luck. “Why wouldn’t you want to eat Lindsay?” I hated the way his voice sounded so calm as he said those words like he wasn’t a monster. Like he didn’t make me lose my baby and lied to my parents about it.
Shauna's POVIn anger, I spoke "Francesco" why did I have a feeling that he was going to eventually call? It was never Francesco to let things go, especially when it involved me. He was a walking ball of anger, waiting for the right person to rain down on, but I was equally ready for him."you are not contented with the fraternity. You still want more from me"My blood boiled. "no one asked you to leave""that's not the point. You have it so why the fuck are you after my wife?""the same wife you don't value?""that doesn't change her from being my wife, does it?" those words made me grab the steering wheel tightly in anger. My teeth gritted too."I don't care if you knew she was my wife or not, I don't want to see you anywhere near her. You know me Shaun and you don't want to test me"I scoffed. "Asher you don't seem to realize that I just got started. You can't have what you don't cherish""It wouldn't be so hard to bring you down anyway""it wouldn't be so had to wipe you out compl
LINDSAY'S POVI had already lost hope and was about to leave the door, but suddenly it opened and before I could decipher what was going on, Asher dragged my hand and pulled me out of the room. He looked furious and with how red and wet his eyes looked, it was easy to point out he had been crying."Where are you taking me?", I asked, trying to free my hand from his tight grip. He didn't spare me a glance. He kept dragging me with him while I struggled, scared to death. I knew my husband and how he could be. For him to act like this, I was pretty sure he was up to something.With my hands firmly wrapped in his, he dragged me to the room he had been sleeping in since I got back from the hospital. He had refused to stay in the same room as me. I was pleased with that arrangement and also excited at the fact that he hated me as much as I did him.We got to the room and he locked the door. My heart skipped a beat "Asher what the fuck do you think you are doing?" I asked Asher who backed me
First I had to kill Asher. With the rod still in my hand I walked out of the bathroom with water dripping down my body. I didn’t think it was going to be possible. There was a chance of Asher retaliating and killing me instead, but I wasn’t thinking that. All I wanted was to stare at his lifeless body with his blood everywhere. While dead I was certain he wasn’t going to hurt me again. He wasn’t asleep anymore. He was on his feet, backing me with his phone in his ears. “I’d like to arrange a meeting with you and my wife” I stopped walking toward him as I listened. “I think she will be in for confession,” he said and I silently scoffed. It was no doubt he was speaking with the church's reverend father. He wanted me to confess my sins while he wallowed in his? Was this man even sane? He saw himself as all holy while he did evil things, yet I was the sinner.That didn’t stop me anyway. With the rod in my hands, I resumed walking towards him and when I had gotten closer, I was about to
