SHANICE I wandered in my living room as I shivered so much. I was just so unstable. All I prayed was for my apology to work this time around. If it didn't work out, that was going to be a wrap in our relationship. I doubted if I could keep trying. I wasn't a doll whose emotions were to be played around with.  As Jill had insisted that I apologized to Aiden, I fully decided to do as she had said. Afterall, it was only an apology. I wouldn't die if I did that. It would only help me get back to the one whom I loved.  The doorbell rang, causing me to let out a gasp. That was definitely going to be Aiden because I wasn't expecting anyone else. I checked myself for a second time to ensure I was looking great, and cleared my throat before heading to the door.  Honestly, I wasn't so comfortable that I had to purposely wear such open clothes in order to entice my boyfriend, so

JILL My smooth eyebrows curved into a deep glare. Instantly, I wanted to grab Liam and spank his butt. What was always wrong with this child? Couldn't he understand that there was a limit to things he could say? "Liam." My harsh tone made his cunning look form into a fearful one. "What did I tell you about speaking nonsense? Do you need to be punished?!" I squealed at him and jerked away from Jace's hold.  Stomping to Liam as I felt so annoyed, I grabbed him by the arm and bent to reach his short height. "What did I tell you?!" I yelled at him.  "Mommy." He started to cry loud. "I'm so sorry. I was only joking with you. I'm sorry." "Sorry?!" I continued to shout at him. "Did I not tell you to not repeat this mistake again? Did I not?! You're a small boy so you shouldn't say things like that!" He whimpered and raised his hands to rub

From the way I didn't feel exhilarated or so amused to see Trisha, I could tell that I wasn't so happy to have her back. It got me so confused but that was the truth. Staring at her only bridged anger and sadness within me. Being sad was definitely something I was so used to anytime she went for so long. But being angry was a really weird feeling.  I had never been annoyed at her whenever she left for a long time. I had only ever felt sadness and happiness. But why in the world was I feeling angry now? It was technically a strange feeling.  "Hi baby." She smiled and moved closer to stand in my front, confusing me even more. I wrinkled my face into a confused look as I was almost shocked by her reaction on seeing me.  First, Trisha had never smiled whenever she got back from her long separation with me. And second, the fact that she saw Jill with me, I sincerely expected her to flare up

Staying in one of the balconies in my mansion, I stared at the view from there, and tried so hard to get rid of the thoughts on Trisha's behavior.   After I had left our room, I tried to continue my work but that wasn't even close to being possible. All that rang in my head was Trisha. I was thinking about how she had always been treating me, how she acted guilty and nervous when I asked her some simple questions, how I was starting to doubt the work she was doing, and of all, how she didn't feel bad although I expressed my pain to her. All of it caused an ardent pain within me. If I could cry, I was sure I'd be wailing on the floor already. She was indeed making my life a living hell.  When I decided to say all my pain to her, a part of me convinced me that she might feel sorry because of it, while another part assured me that nothing would change. But although I had doubts, I chose to be optimistic, only for her to prove me

Jill Stepping out of the kitchen in Shanice's house, holding a tray of the cookies I had baked, I joined her and Beth in the living room.  "It's been a while since I've seen you Beth." I said to Beth in mouthful of cookies, and dropped the tray on the centre table. Beth dropped her phone on her seat and grabbed some cookies from the tray. "Yep girl." She said, and began to crunch a cookie. "Well I see her almost everyday." Shanice added from her seat, staring at her phone like her life depended on it.  "Duh duh." Beth hummed and continued to read through her magazine. She was a big fan of magazines, and goodness knew why.  I sighed and moved closer to Shanice on the couch she was sitting on, and tapped her shoulder to get her attention to me.  "What?!" She whined and hit her hands against mine, so I co
