I still sat on the couch. I could hardly go anywhere. It was ten already but I didn't feel like moving all day.Ace's glare and shouts were what suspended in my mind. It was an additional distress. I never imagined my marriage to be so terrific. I wished I had opt out earlier. Regrets were the only things I could think of, in the last three hours. I really hated him.Sometimes, I'd think of giving our relationship a chance. At least, we couldn't continue to live our lives like this, till we died. I thought of becoming friends with him. But after the scene, I had nothing left for him, but hatred.I thought of running away, but that wasn't possible. Besides the tight security, what would happen to those who appreciated his marriage? Someone like my mum in-law. How was she going to feel?I stood and finally headed to the bathroom. I needed to have a long, warm shower. My eyes were already swollen, and I looked extremel

Emma; Mrs NormanI sat on the sofa in my room, and went through the pictures of my boy, Ace. He was wonderful as a little boy. I just couldn't understand what made him change so badly. As a responsible mother, I could tell that something definitely caused it. I just couldn't figure out what it was, and that always made me feel useless. I sighed as I glanced through the pictures, and spotted something that made me tremble. It was my little girl, Jamilah. Not wanting to think further about her, I dropped the book of pictures and sauntered to the bathroom. I sprinkled some water on my face, and stared at myself through the mirror. Anytime I thought about the poor girl, I always had a terrible trauma. A trauma I just couldn't forget. "What's wrong Emma?" Alfred asked in a worry tone. I flinched

ACEI rubbed my hands against my forehead, as I went through the files on my table. I couldn't concentrate on my work in the last few days. Everything seemed really confusing and frustrating. I didn't really understand what was wrong. After the day my mom hit me, I became perplexed at everything I was doing. I wanted to apologize to her, but I just didn't know how to. It was really hard to not speak to her in two weeks. It was so annoying!Besides her, Mia ignored every of my tease. She was really being obedient to whatever instruction I gave, and that was quite amazing. Emily also wasn't around since a week ago. She had to do some important work, and that frustrated me even more. There was no one to accompany me. It was five in the evening already. I needed to relax. Work was really tiring these days. It got me so screwed up. I arranged the

I quivered as I stood, staring at him. Why did I have to see him? Why couldn't he stop teasing my heart? What did he want from my soul? It was Drake! It was him again. Why did I have to see him again? I was slowly getting rid of my memories about him, and I was almost completing that task. So why now?!My eyes were already filled with tears, and I tried so hard to prevent it from dropping. I swallowed again and quickly averted from our stare. There was a probability that he wouldn't recognize me, but I doubted that. He narrowed his eyes and seemed to be noticing me."Sorry." I lowered my head, trying to prevent him from observing me further, and hurried to walk past him.That was a little relief. But still, I wasn't sure he didn't discern me. "Mia." He called, causing my heart to ache. I thought he wasn't going to cognize me. So foolish of me

ACEI parked my car in the garage, and headed to the mansion. I was so curious to get home, and finally feel comfortable. I was supposed to be home by 11:00am, but I changed my mind completely. I booked an early ticket for 5:00am. It was quite obvious that Emily wasn't fine with that, but I ignored. I thought of having another trip with her, when I was stable enough. "Gabriel." I called one of my workers, before stepping in. "Yes sir." He hurried to me. "Grab my stuffs in the boot, and bring it in." I ordered. And before he could reply, I rambled in.  I was so exhausted. I needed bed rest. At the hotel, I couldn't sleep on the same bed with Emily. I insisted on paying for another room, but she refused. She said she was too scared to stay alone, especially in an unknown place. It was quite uncomfortable, but I had to do it. I was so
