A sigh drew from my mouth as I parked my car. Fabian's face haunted me all the way home as well as Damian's persistent calls.

I wondered what he wanted to tell me, I was so curious to find out, but I didn't want to answer his call, not with Fabian looking at me like that.

Picking up my bag, I turned off the engine and went inside. Jessica was at the kitchen table peeling an apple while Gemma played on the ground not too far away.

She sprung to her tiny feet the moment she saw me walk in. "Mummy!" She exclaimed happily. With wobbly steps, she ran into my arms and I picked her up from the ground.

"My baby girl! What have you been up to?" I asked as I hugged her closer to myself.

"Drawing." She said with an infectious smile.

"Finally!" Jessica dropped the knife and the apple and hurried towards me. "Girl, you told me you were on your way like hours ago, so what happened?"

"Nothing happened actually, the place is just hours away. I'm starving." I squeezed her hand softly in assuran

  • Your Honor, I Want A Divorce!   At Fabian's

    Morning came and I had barely gotten any sleep. Jessica slept by my side and hugged me through the night. As the night gave way to day, I dozed off momentarily only to be awakened by my thoughts. Jessica woke up at the ring of the alarm clock and turned it off. "Good morning my sunshine." She smiled brightly and placed a kiss on my cheek. "We should sleep together more often, I like sharing a room with you."I smiled and rose to a sitting position. "Unfortunately, we are no longer in college sharing those cozy little rooms so you should grow out of it Jessica."She rolled her eyes and got out of bed. "I can already guess that you didn't get much sleep. I'll go make you some rejuvenating tea so hang on." "What about Gemma? Her teacher will get here soon." I said to her, Jessica stared at me and sighed. Almost with pity. "My poor and lost baby. It's Saturday." I pressed my lips into a thin line and nodded my head. "Sorry about that. I just have too much on my mind and I'm trying to

  • Your Honor, I Want A Divorce!   What do I do...?

    Gemma was already in bed, getting ready to sleep. She was already so sleepy herself as I tucked her in. Fabian knelt by her bed and whispered softly to her. Words only she heard. I decided to excuse them while he lulled her to sleep. For some reason, I trusted him to take care of her. Moments later, he walked out of the room and gently closed the door. "She's sound asleep. You can check on her if you want to." I nodded my head with a smile. "Thank you. Allow me to see you to the door." He gave a nod in response. Jessica went into Gemma's room after saying goodbye to him. At the door, I could not stop myself from smiling, just looking at his face put me in a good mood. "Be careful on your way back home." "I will." He took a step forward towards me and skillfully slid his hands around my waist, pulling me even closer towards him. "And I will be thinking about you all the way home… while I bathe… and in my sleep." He placed a kiss on my forehead and cheeks at every pause. I could

    THIRD POV Ella glared at him with disgust and hatred, this only fuels Jacob to punish her. He smirked and stopped stroking her clit. "You don't want to learn, do you?" With force, he threw her into the broken pieces of his tea cup without caring about the injuries he would be inflicting on her. She screamed, unable to contain the pain. The glass easily pierced into her naked skin, leaving a bruise on her palm and her legs. She didn't want to give him the satisfaction of a reaction, but tears poured from her eyes and fear caused her face to contort. If only she had known that it was a monster she was stealing from her sister. Jacob only grew more satisfied. "You think you are stubborn, don't you? Well let me tell you something, even your sister who was very stubborn yielded and became my pet, not to mention a spineless pig like you!" He spat out at her. She sobbed silently as he growled at her and didn't dare to stand up until he left the living room. She picked herself up and

  • Your Honor, I Want A Divorce!   A punishment for Ella

    THIRD POV Ella made her way back home quite reluctantly. The night had darkened completely by the time she found herself at her doorstep. She had purposely dragged out her stay outside till night because living under the same roof as Jacob had suddenly become suffocating to her. He was busy with his obsession with his ex wife and she didn't want to even see his face until Blaire had been taken care of. But eventually, she had to return home. To share a roof with him once again while she slept. Ella pulled open the door and made her way to the living room. To no surprise, Jacob was seated on one of their sofas with a cup of steaming tea in his hand. As she walked towards the stairs, he didn't even spare her a glance. She felt so frustrated, then his voice pinned her in place. "Where did you run off to this time?" His voice was calm as he asked. She felt even more annoyed by the nonchalance in his tone. Was that how much he didn't care about her? He probably wouldn't care if she

    The sweet taste of chocolate brought me back to my senses on the very first bite. There was a milky delight in between the chocolate crispy and crunchy shell. There were other different kinds of chocolates, he had bought so much for me. Enough to last me for the next few days if I decided to go on an only chocolate eating diet. Fabian watched me bite into the snack with what seemed like concern. I was shaking all over. Thankfully, I had managed to calm down after receiving a hug from him and also the chocolate. I slid my phone across the table towards him with the text message on the screen. I watched him as he read through the text and when he was done, I took the liberty to explain before he would say anything. "I don't know who that message is from. I never hired a private investigator to find my dad. My mom and my dad parted ways a long time ago. It… wasn't on a good note, they never really got divorced. "He just… left. When I was a kid. So she remarried, had a child, and la

    I turned in bed only to realize I was alone. Sitting up in bed, I reached for my phone on the lamp stand and checked the time. It was already past evening.Throwing on the first cloth I could find, I went downstairs to check where he could have gone while I was asleep.To my surprise, the entire house was empty except for myself. Jessica was still out having fun with Gemma like I had instructed her to but Fabian was no where to be found. I rushed back upstairs to get my phone. That was when I noticed a message that had skipped my eyes earlier. [In case I'm not back by the time you're awake, I got an urgent call from work and I had to attend to it. So sorry for leaving so abruptly but I didn't want to wake you up. [I hope I'll be back before you wake up but if I'm not then enjoy the chocolate I got you. I wanted to get you something as sweet as you but apparently it doesn't exist. I love you and I will see you soon.]For some reason, the moment I read the words "i love you" my heart
