Laynie 9 months agoHe should be here any minute now. God, I hope he is not in a bad mood. Who am I kidding he is always in a bad mood. My phone rings for the thirteenth time today. Its Anna, she has been calling all day for some reason, but I know myself, if I answer I will tell her and I can't let Jared find out through her. Neither of us can hold a secret very well. Jared walks through the door at exactly five o'clock and I go to greet him. He hands me his suit jacket and walks over to the sofa to take his shoes off. His usual routine. Usually he will shower then come out in his sweats to eat dinner, then head to the living room to watch television. On nights like this I don't even get an acknowledgement. Tonight, I plan on changing that. I have to tell him. After leaving the doctor's office a few hours ago I was able to tell the sex of the baby. Jared is going to be so happy it's a boy. We always wanted the boy first."Jared before you shower can I speak with you a moment?" I a

JaredYesterday I spent all day feeling sorry for myself. I crawled into bed after my heart walked out the door and cried. I cried for Laynie, I cried for my mother, I cried for our child we lost before we were blessed with. I barely ate, didn't shower, I just walked around the entire house going through the motions.Here is where I pushed her into the wall, here is where I called her useless. Here is where I told her to get away from me. I let myself go through every memory of pain I put her in. I re live every bit of agony and let myself relish in it.Today is the day I right all my wrongs. I knock on the door to my father's office and wait for him to answer. I march right past his secretary as she screams at me to stop, so I know he is in here and I know he was informed I'm here. Security has not come to escort me out yet so it seems like he wants to see me.Someone opens the door and I walk in to see my father at his desk on the phone. I look to the body guard with sunglasses on an

JaredDropping Laynie off was a lot harder than I thought it would be. I planned on being between her legs by now, which is why I had Anna sleep somewhere else tonight. We had been planning this for a few weeks now. I never planned on leaving Laynie forever, but I knew we both needed time. Anna kept me up to date on everything that went on with her. Seeing Jackie seemed to be the best thing to happen to her. I can see her personality is stronger. She seems more sure of herself.I couldn't be prouder of her for finding her way.I get back in my car, after a lustful kiss goodnight in her doorway and making sure she locked the door. I pull my phone out and shoot her a text. I already miss her and I need to tell her so. I'm sure she can still see my headlights through the window because her texts read, you haven't even left yet. I pull out and head to a hotel calling Anna on the way.She answers right away with heavy breathing."W-what?!" she screams while panting. I don't even want to gu

VOLUME TWO: SHAMECandice1 year agoI rush through the parking lot to find my car. My heart is beating a million beats per minute. Please don't let her be hurt. Please don't let her be hurt. The last five minutes of my life come rushing back to me in fragments.Fire at Roxy's Café....Ambulance is on the way....We can't find her Candy…I hop in my old beat up 97' cherry red mustang, jam the key in the ignition and rush out of the hospital parking lot. I make the thirty-minute drive in ten minutes. I can see all the fire trucks and ambulances in the café parking lot. Once I park my car I run out and run right up to the yellow tape a police officer has just finished setting up. He stops me before I can make it any further."Ma'am I need you to stay back. Fire department is not done surveying the damage yet."I look past him and look around. I notice the fire is out at the restaurant, but it doesn't matter. The café is totaled. Black smoke and metal are all of what is left of w

CandiceI walk into work the next day determined that today is going to be a good day. After I took a four-hour nap yesterday, I was awoken by my mom leaning over my bed with homemade peanut butter cookies, my favorite, apologizing to me. Once we made up, we ate the delicious stew she had made from scratch and binge watched some Netflix. When I awoke this morning, it was excessively gloomy outside, but I told myself that I would not let the weather get me down. I am determined to have a great day."Hey, listen I have an important client in right now. He and his wife were attacked early this morning in their home. Do me a favor and check in on him now and then but when he awakens let me know." Melissa says popping her gum, sitting on her desk.Melissa started working here a few months ago and she is what one might call…well…lazy. She is flat out rude and thinks she is better than everyone else. She usually only wants to take care of the c-list celebrities that we get in. I've had to
