(Evy's Point of View)"Please, move in with me, don't say no,"Suddenly, Seb's words rang in my ears, and the pen in my palm fell.Moving in?Wasn't that a little too quick? Although our relationship progressed quickly, was I prepared for such a commitment? I would be living with Seb as my husband.The entire idea was lovely, but it was also terrifying.I sighed, suddenly feeling exhausted. A grin started to form on my lips as I looked down at the ring on my finger. Another chance? I'd finally be happy, right? Seb would never become like him?"What's on your mind?"My head sprang up and I stared at Diana, who was standing in front of my table and the door, as I realized I hadn't noticed her walk in."Can you tell me what's on your mind?" She repeated with a head tilt. "A penny for your thoughts, you know two heads are better than one," she said as she sat down on the chair, her gaze fixed on me. I knew she wouldn't leave until I told her what I was thinking.I exhaled and leaned back

(Kim's Point of View)(MONTHS LATER)"Are you worried?" I looked across at Arthur, who was seated in his wheelchair between Lucas and me in the doctor's office.He shook his head at my question. "No," he retorted blatantly.When I looked at Lucas, he gave me a reassuring nod. I felt like I was being pricked with needles Even if they weren't anxious.Arthur's heart health had deteriorated in recent weeks, and after much convincing, he had consented to the heart transplant, but I couldn't help but be concerned as we waited for the doctor.I'd heard about heart transplants and how dangerous they could be.I groaned and waited, and after ten minutes, the door opened and Dr. Charlie strolled in with a few papers. He smiled at us."Good to see you again, Mr. and Mrs. Rodriguez," he said as he approached his seat. "I apologize for keeping you waiting; you see, I was getting Mr. Rodriguez's test results ready," he said as he sat down."What did they say?" Lucas beat me to it and we all looked

(Evy's Point Of View)I hated hospitals. I had no how idea how Diana convinced me but then again, I knew I had to come see the doctor since I didn't know what was wrong with me.Constant vomiting, wild headaches, sensitiveness, and tender breasts. It had been going on for a while now. Diana grinned as if she knew what was wrong with me but wouldn't say a word and insisted on seeing a doctor. And I had a wild guess about what was wrong with me.Sitting there in the doctor's office, we waited, and soon, the door opened and a female doctor walked in with my test results.She beamed brightly as she occupied her seat. "Sorry to have kept you waiting but I have your test results right here,""What do they say?" Diana seemed eager as she leaned on the doctor's table. "I mean I know what might be wrong with her since I've experienced it twice already but it feels nice hearing it from the doctor's lips," Her grin expanded.I placed my hand on her shoulder and held her back. "Calm down, Diana,

(Kim's Point of View)I peered down at the papers that had been thrown on my office table and flickered my gaze back to Mrs. Evans who has barged into my office a few seconds ago as if she owed the building. I didn't bother reading the papers, the heading was glaring me back in the face. "What is the meaning of this, Mrs. Evans?" I quizzed, wondering what she wanted this time. I thought I'd been cleared off her list to torment but I thought wrong.It had been months since I saw her and now she was here with a bunch of divorce and contract papers. Who did she think she was? Suddenly, I didn't have the patience to deal with her. She was energy-draining. How do anyone put up with her, perhaps, they didn't know what lay behind that smile she puts on, that deceiving mask.She scoffed. "I'm pretty sure you can read, Miss Quant, it says that your marriage to Arthur is overdue and now, the contract has come to an end,"She had to be kidding!I nearly laughed at the absurdity. "Does Arthur kn

(Kim's Point of View)Mrs. Evans didn't know when to quit, which didn't surprise me.I leaned against Arthur's wheelchair and bridged my arms as I regarded Mrs. Evans and the woman she had just entered the room with, proclaiming to be Arthur's new wife.I wanted to chuckle but kept my lips firmly closed as we all waited for Arthur to say something, anything.She'd gone too far this time. From delivering divorce papers to this? She was losing her mind. I shook my head pitifully."What is the purpose of this Aunt?" Arthur's face was unreadable as usual, but his tone wasn't as pleasant as it had been when he interacted with her.Mrs. Evans laughed. "She's lovely, isn't she?" I stared at the girl as she complimented her. Yes, she was lovely. She had impeccable taste. "Since Kim's contract has expired, I obtained her for you. This is Caroline, and she will be your new wife."I rolled my eyes. Narrow-minded! What made her believe Arthur would pick her over me, even if he didn't love me?"Di

(Kim's Point of View)When I walked into the house after a long day at work, my mind was racing with ideas.Would Arthur be upset that I know what happened to his family without his informing me? Was I going too far by talking to an inspector? I knew I was going too far, but I couldn't sit properly without disclosing the truth and letting her go free, knowing she wouldn't feel inclined to harm Arthur again and knowing she was a risk to others as well.For Christ's sake, this lady murdered her brother and his family. She was a walking true tyrant!I entered the living room and found Arthur there. He remained awake.I saw the folders on the couch next to him as well as the clench of his jaw. Was he upset about something?"Arthur!" I made my presence known but quickly regretted it as his icy Grey eyes met with mine. Was he upset with me? What exactly did I do? As I came closer, I began to wonder.My attention was drawn to the file. Was it something to do with the company? I had been hand

(Kim's Point of View)"Where is Arthur?" As soon as I went into the mansion after work, I asked Ms. Ruth. I left early today, around 3 p.m. on a Wednesday.She seemed unsure. I gave her a strange look. "Is there a problem, Ms. Ruth?"She made a shaky motion with her head. "Arthur is in the garden, but he is not alone," "Does he have a visitor?" I asked, heading over to the couch, but stopped when she said a name."Kareen,"I tossed my purse on the sofa and dashed out the door, headed to the rear, where Arthur was with my wonderful twin sister stooping to his level on the wheelchair.What were they talking about? Curiosity got me closer and their words became clearer."I know I fucked up but please Arthur, I'm sorry, accept me back,"I gaped in surprise. The vigor of that bitch! Arthur didn't concede. She proceeded."I left you because I was having second thoughts, I wasn't sure if I was ready for such devotion but after I left I discovered how preposterous that conclusion was. I swe

(Evy's Point of View)I first felt being watched right after I left home but the feeling wasn't there when I arrived at work but it returned when I finally step out of the building after a tiring day.I looked around the parking lot, watching as workers got into their cars and drove off. There was nothing out of the ordinary but still, I felt eyes drilling through the back of my back. Suddenly fear gripped my body knowing there was someone out there who had been following me for the past few days.I knew I wasn't being extra sensitive as Diana had claimed, I knew there was someone following me. What did he/she want from me? It couldn't be some serial killer, was it? The thought hit me harder than I expected and I didn't remain in the now empty parking lot as I immediately got into my car and drove off.Ten minutes into the road, I saw a van behind me. I watched the van drive creepily behind me and when I took a sudden U-turn, the driver also did the same. Fuck! I was being followed!

(Evy's Point of View)"Baby," I sprang awake as I felt warm hands pull me up.My eyes flew open as I saw Seb carry me off the floor. As he placed me on the bed, my arms reflexively wrapped around his neck, hugging him and refusing to let go.After snuggling me beneath the covers, Seb sat next to me on the bed. He gave me a troubled look. "You're making me worried, sweetie; you haven't been yourself in a long time."I nearly missed what he was saying until my hazy eyes rested on the phone and my recollections were revived."You said five minutes, but when I got in, you were asleep on the floor. Is there anything I should know, Evelyn?" He continued, this time using my name, and I understood how scared he must have been to have seen me asleep on the floor, with heated cheeks and shallow eyes.Should I inform him about the message? It was only fair that he was aware of what was going on; I didn't want him to be upset, but what if I was dragging him into my mess? Nate might also harm him

Chapter 59.
(Evy's Point of View)It had been two days since the message ordeal and I hadn't stepped out of the mansion and Seb hadn't gone anywhere either as he took his time to take care of me. I know I said I was not a traumatized teenager but at this moment, I was beginning to eat those words. I might but be a teenager, I felt traumatized having to bubble everything up. I felt like exploding as every memory crashed on me."Evelyn," I lifted my head at the sound of my name, finding Seb there at the edge of the bed. He has been so understanding toward me while I hid things from him, I didn't deserve him."I-I-I-" I began. "I'm ready to tell you everything,"He came to sit beside me on the bed. "I told you I don't have to know anything,""But it's eating me up, it's draining me, I just want this burden off my chest Seb and telling you is the only way,"He stared at me a moment later, giving me the opportunity to back out of it but I wouldn't. Slowly, I took hold of his hand and stared into his
