Cassie’s Pov

I sighed in between my tears when I recalled that the luggage box wasn’t really mine. It was bought with Shawn’s money. The one I brought when I moved here was old and tacky, so it had been trashed. The same goes for the clothes.

I let the box sleep on the floor, crouched to my knees, then unzipped it. I came face to face with three dresses and a bikini. Their tags were still on them. I grabbed them, rose to my feet, and made my way to my side of the closet where I dropped them in one of the drawers.

With shaky hands and tear-filled eyes, I searched through my closet for what I could take. I settled for three plain dresses, a few underwear, my pajamas, and a jacket.

I dumped all of the clothing inside the box, then secured the zipper.

“What’s going on?” Doreen attacked when I was hardly out of the closet. She was standing right by the door as though she had been waiting for me to come out of there.

“Oh shit!” I cursed the moment I looked down at my body. “I can’t w

    Nala’s Pov​The more Shawn wiped my face, the more tears rolled down my cheeks.​I heard him sigh. He reached for a handkerchief in his pocket and then began to wipe my eyes with the tiny piece of cloth. Even though I was a mess on the inside, I tried not to show it on the outside because it wouldn’t be polite to do this in front of my son, whom I hadn’t seen this close in years. But I failed woefully and silently hoped that Shawn wouldn’t judge me for it.​We stood there; I sobbed for God knows how long, but my son continued to dab my face, and after what felt like forever, I think I calmed down a little.​Shawn ushered me to a seat. This time, it was a double couch, different from the one I had previously been seated on. I obeyed, and to my surprise, he joined me on the couch. A tiny bit of space was in between us, but I was glad that he deemed it fit to sit by my side.​I stared into his eyes while fiddling with my still shaky fingers that were on my lap.​“How have you been?

    Nala’s Pov.​“Are you there yet? How is it going? You like Cassie already, don’t you?” Kay’s voice came through.​“I’m not there yet. I’m just about to leave the house.” I responded with my phone against my ear.​“Are you…..? Mom!!!!!!!” My daughter groaned. “It’s way past noon. Or do you want me to come pick you up?”​“It’s fine. I will find my way there. This just feels so good to be true. A part of me has been taking my time all day. My eyes haven’t left my phone, hoping to see Shawn’s message, probably to cancel.”​“It’s crazy that this is a day that I have prayed for, and now that it is here, I’m not sure I know how to act or what I’m going to say to your brother when I eventually see him face to face,” I confessed.​“What if he changes his mind by the time I get there and the security refuses to let me in?”​“Your worries are valid, but you are starting to overthink, Mom.”​“I know deep down in Shawn’s heart he still adores you. And Cassie is a sweet soul. You have nothi

    Weeks Later. ​Cassie’s POV​“Promise you are going to be on your best behavior?” I whispered, staring deeply into Shawn’s eyes. We were both in our favorite positions on the bed.​Shawn tore his eyes away from me, then focused his attention on my stomach. He placed his hand on my bump, then slowly began to caress it.​“You’re playing with the baby just so you can avoid my question?”​He looked back at me. “I don’t want to make promises that I wouldn’t keep. I’m not ignoring you, and if I’m being honest, I don’t know what to say.”​“I almost sent a message last night for her not to come anymore.”​“Then why didn’t you?” I couldn’t help but ask.​He shrugged, his warm palm still on my belly.​“I don’t know.”​“I’ve been living my life for the past couple of years with the thought that I had no mother. It just feels so strange to see her again. I’m not even sure if I’m doing the right thing. Maybe I should have just limited this to telephone conversations.”​“What’s the worst

    Shawn’s Pov.​I was approaching the duo the moment I saw Brenda raise her hand at my wife, but Cassie defended herself already before I got there.​The resounding slap on Brenda instantly made tears well up in her eyes, but by the time she could react, I was already between the duo. I didn’t miss the burning look in Cassie’s eyes.​“How dare you?!!!!” Brenda screeched with her hand against her cheek.​“You didn’t think twice before you raised your hand at her, but she defended herself, and you are mad. Really?” I attacked Brenda.​A tear rolled down her cheek. I had no idea if it was my words that triggered it or if her cheek still hurt from the slap. “She hit the mother of your child, and that is what you had to say?”​“This is going to be my last warning to you not to call that baby my child. And do not contact me again until the results are out!!!!”​“What exactly does she have that I don’t? Isn’t it insane that you are picking a nobody over a woman you’ve known for years an

    Cassie’s POV​Shawn and I turned to the entrance at the same time, and our eyes met with a furious-looking Brenda, who had taken a few steps into the private room that we were in.​You know, life has been so good that I've forgotten that this woman even existed.​“Please take your leave, Ma’am. You are not supposed to be here.” The sales assistant approached Brenda, and Brenda threw her a nasty glare in return.​“I am going to call the security!” This time around, she spoke at the top of her voice.​Brenda scoffed. “Don’t you know who I am, or are you blind?”​“I don’t need to know who you are, Ma’am. You invaded the privacy of our guests, and that’s enough to bounce you out of here. You need to take your leave, or you will be forced to.” the S.A. said sternly.​“That man over there.” She pointed at Shawn, “Is the owner of this!” She pointed at her bump.​I swallowed deeply. Brenda’s belly was probably three times what I saw the last time she came to our home. She looked as th

    Lauretta’s POV“What do you mean?” I said at the top of my voice.“You must be dreaming if you think you can make me love you by feeding me lies.”He tucked his hands in his pocket. “Why did you think I would do that?”“Isn’t it obvious?” I spat in disgust. “You are here, and you are definitely doing all you can to act as though you are a caring father. Please give me a break!”“You should watch your tone! Once again, I am not sure what Rhoda told you, but I won’t let you raise your voice at me and judge me when you know nothing about what really went down!”“Can you just leave your stepsister alone and move on? Elias proposed to her again. Their love is real, and rumors have it that they will be having another wedding party soon. You and your mom made her life a true hell. Why don’t you just let her be and enjoy what she deserves?”Tears pricked the corner of my eyes as I continued to stare at my sole called father with unbelievable eyes.Gosh! I missed my mother so damn much. She wo
