Being woken up again by the same farcical nightmare, I strolled out of my bedroom in the middle of the night, unable to catch my beauty sleep in an oversized shirt that chopped down to my mid-thigh.The hall was nearly murky and the living room was darker as I strode down the staircase and went to the kitchen, turning on the lights.I hiked toward the fridge, opened it, and peered at the food items. Should I make myself a midnight meal? But I didn't know how to cook, the last time I tried to, I nearly chopped my fingers off and burnt my parent's kitchen, I was banned from ever stepping into the kitchen, Kareen was a much better cook, she didn't spend her time being a nerd.Between Kareen and I, she was the life of the party, especially in college, she was the most popular girl while I was just the popular girl's sister, which I didn't care. I recalled being called a face thief one time. It was rather comical since I was a minute older than Kareen, didn't that mea

Arriving at Arthur's door, my hand reached up to knock. "Arthur, Mrs. Evans is here," I knocked again and announced. "She wants us to have breakfast together!"I stood there for a few seconds, waiting and expecting a reply but nothing. Perhaps he didn't want to answer, I was sure he received my message. I swerved to leave but paused, a wild thought traversing my mind and I sharp wiggled back to the door. What if he needed help?Suddenly, dazzled with apprehension, I knocked on the door again, "Arthur, are you in there?" What if he was stuck in the bathroom and couldn't wheel himself out?Hesitantly, I nudged the door open and slipped in, my gaze instantly docking on the large mattress but did not find the familiar stiff man in sight. I went towards the bathroom door, "Arthur, are you in there?" I knocked on the door, gasping lightly when it opened on its own but was welcomed with an empty space.I sighed in relief. He was not in here.I turned to leave, however

[Kim's Point of view]Again with the same terror, I couldn't hibernate and I didn't bother to coerce myself into it. I decided to explore the kitchen for a midnight snack again. Luckily, I had gotten enough ice cream to keep me complacent for a while as I clutched a cup of strawberry ice cream and dumped myself on the kitchen island.It was icy yet satisfactory and I hummed lowly at the strawberry flavor on my taste bug. The coldness nearly made me twitch but the unexpected voice of Mrs. Evans in my head made me tremble in an eerie way. I almost lost my appetite, peering at my cup of ice cream.I suddenly shook my head, not wanting to think about it, she probably was just fiddling with me, it was just I being leery which was common when I didn't understand what was going on. I intended to lunge to conclusions that always made me feel dreadful.I shivered dramatically and found my appetite again, blanking my mind but a sound had me looking up and I froze for a second, finding Arthur wh

[Kim's Point of view]I think this was starting to become a routine, always waking up in the middle of the night, exploring the fridge for a midnight snack, and grabbing a cup of ice cream but this time, I didn't remain in the kitchen as I strolled back my room with a vast grin on my face.Ice cream always brought my mood up.However, waddling past Arthur's door, I unexpectedly paused and retreated my steps and peered at the closed door with turmoil while faint growls and groans came from the other side.My heart whizzed, thinking something had happened as I deliberately knocked on the door. "Arthur, are you alright in there?"I waited for an answer but I didn't get one. I nearly nudged the door opened but curtailed the idea as I recalled how furious he was when I step into his space.Should I get the helpers? But everyone was already somnolent? What if by the time I return from calling someone he had gotten badly maimed? Should I risk getting screeched again? But I was only trying to

(Kim's Point of view)I gawked at my reflection with uncertainty. I decided to wear a casual outfit. A white collared shirt tucked into a pair of black pants, a blazer, and a pair of black heels. My face didn't have that much makeup, just pink lipgloss while my hair was held in a loose ponytail.Since I had a new wardrobe, everything inside looked too inappropriate to wear for a job interview. I sighed heavily, apprehension slithering through my nerves. Would I get this job? I felt so anxious. The last time I went for a job interview, it didn't turn out well, the interviewer asked more than I could give but despite my trepidation, something told me this interview was going to end well. I just believed it.Looking down at my bed, my hand itched to pick up my glasses but I decided against it and grabbed my bag and flies instead.I stepped out of my room, trying to saunter causally without grimacing because I detested heels. It hadn't been five minutes yet and I felt like getting rid o

[Location: Las Vegas][Time: 4 pm][Evy's point of View]"Do you take thee to be your lawfully wedded husband, for richer or poorer, in sickn-"Getting married, they said it was fun, they said it was supposed to give you a sense of ecstasy, they said it would be everlasting...but they were wrong. It was not fun, it brought anything but paradise and it was not everlasting and the scarcity of a ringing ring on my finger seemed to concede with me.I attempted to smile, today was reckoned to be the sunniest day for my family, especially my younger sister who declared to be taking the plunge with the love of her life but what did she know about love?I used to be there, at the alter, dressed in my sparkling white grown, I claimed to be in love, all smiles and so optimistic, he was happy too or I thought he was satisfied and the right man for me, not only was I wrong, misery came along with it."You may now kiss the bride," the priest finally announced the familiar words everyone had been w

[Evy's Point of View]I grunted as I regained consciousness and veered to my side, however, my back collided with something warm and hard. I froze when an arm circled my waist and hauled me close and felt warm breaths ghosting on my neck. My eyes dilated for a quick moment and I sluggishly twisted my head to look at the person snorting lightly at my back and when I got a glimpse, my heart plunged to my stomach and I nearly face-palmed as I recognized the face.Oh Evy, what have you done? I thought to myself, pokily lifting his weighty arm off my waist and gradually pulling myself from the bed without waking him up.I sighed, spotting my clothes everywhere on the floor, I squatted, picking them up and groaning lowly at the awful ache on my lower body, clearing signifying we did something last night. I picked up my clothes and went to the bathroom and when I finally saw my reflection in the mirror, I tsked and shook my head.How far did we go?I could barely recognize my skin, it was

(Evy's Point of View)Walking into the conference room, I was saluted with a gloomy atmosphere. I headed over to my seat, my secretary trailing at my back as I took my seat and she went behind me. "What's going on?" My gaze trailed the members of the conference, especially Diana who seemed to be going through a lot as shown on her face. "Diana?"She looked at me with a pout. "We lost it,"I raised an eyebrow questioningly, complication spiraling over my mind. "Lost what?"She sighed and proceeded. "You know the coalition we have been working on before you went to Vegas and put me in charge of it. Well, we lost it and we also lost the construction site we had arranged to put our newest building," she finished, looking at anywhere but at my face and my brows crumpled. "But, I thought we were one step from having the contract and we lost the construction site, that's a huge loss, Diana!" I verbalized, a bit maddened."I know, I know but the other company's offer was better than ours and

(Evy's Point of View)"I need you to officially become my wife,"I almost thought I heard it inaccurately till the mirroring expression on Diana's face proved me wrong and indeed, those words really pratfall from his mouth."What did you just say?" I demanded in an unfavorable tone, expecting him to reiterate his sentence."I believe you heard what I said," Came his acknowledgment and I felt like exploding in indignation."Now you listen-""I think I'm going to leave you two alone," Diana giggled nervously, already scurrying towards the door before I could stop her, leaving us alone and right on clue, he stood up and sauntered to my side and I finally noticed how dashing he looked in his argentine suit. His features seem sharper than the last time, I almost didn't recognize him but his silver eyes gave him away, if anything, he looked better than the last time I saw him.He stopped in front of me, his eyes browsing me from head to toe before he licked his lips and when he looked back

(Evy's Point of View)It was another monotonous day at the office but that was a point of correction, it was ordinary till my secretary sauntered into my office with a spooked expression.I pushed up an eyebrow at her aghast expression. "Is there something wrong, Hannah?" She cleared her throat and got closer to my table. "M-Mrs Evans, your husband is outside and is asking to see you,"My brows furrowed. "My what? And what did you just call me?" I demanded, already knowing who caused all this. What was he doing in my building?"M-miss Williams, I'm sorry, he said I should address you that. He said he's your husband and if he doesn't see you in the next minute, he's going to scream your marriage to the earrings of everyone and he looked deadpanned when he said it,"I tsked. "Get security to throw him out, I don't want to see him," I waved my hand dismissively but the door of my office opened and the last person I wish to see on earth ambled in as if he owned the place, hands tucked in
