(Evy's Point of View)"Evelyn,"My head bolted up from my table at the sound of my name. "Adam," I called confusedly as Adam sauntered into my office. He was hastily ambling round the table to my side, abruptly clasping me by the shoulders and heaving me up to my feet. I wheezed in shock as he enveloped me in his arms. I was mushed up against him."I was so apprehensive," He mumbled, holding me even tighter, shirking the validity that I was a human who needed to freaking breathe. I patted frantically on his back, making sure he got the hint that he was squeezing me to death, luckily he did and drew back but his hands remained on my shoulders. "Are you alright, Evy, he didn't hurt you right?"My brows narrowed in complication. "He?""I'm talking about Nate," He aired and my mouth had an o shape in realization. "I heard he got out of the penitentiary, I didn't think vastly of it till the cops turned up at my house, inquiring if I knew the whereabouts of that bastard. I heard he had be

(Evy's Point of View)"YOU LET HIM KISS YOU!"Seb detonated as soon as we were back at the mansion. His sliver eyes didn't have any tenderness, his jaw was locked in wrath. He looked like he was fighting an inner battle to not tear me apart at where I stood."I didn't know he would kiss me," I murmured with my head lowered. "We were just talking when he suddenly just kissed me, I didn't have the time to push him away before you came in, you have to believe me, Seb,""I told you he was up to no good, that bastard has been eyeing you forever!"Even Seb was able to detect it on the first day of meeting Adam yet I was so oblivious. I even fended him. Was I that clueless about my surroundings? "I'm sorry, please don't be mad," I apologize, getting closer and taking hold of his hand. He glared at me but I didn't back away as I displayed a tiny smile and drew circles on his palm, trying to comfort him."I swear Seb, I didn't know Adam had never looked at me as a friend or his brother's ex-wi

(Evy's Point of View)Once we left the hospital, we don't go home as I reckoned as Seb killed the engine in front of an eatery. I was craving some fried chicken and there were still 20 minutes left before we get home. I didn't want to wait that long."I will be right back," Seb let out, smooching me on the cheek before getting out of the car. I watched him disappear into the restaurant. Once he was out of sight, I let my gaze drift and that was when I saw it or them.I moved my face closer to the window of the car, instantly discerning Mrs. Evans's figure through the transparent glass windows of the restaurant.She was talking to someone and the person figure was familiar even though he was wearing a hoodie over his head. Who was that? I didn't think Mrs. Evans was one to go to places as cheap as this restaurant.I shrugged, it could be someone I didn't know but I was wrong, dead wrong as the man suddenly stood up and I saw his face.Those familiar yet older features that I used to l

(Evy's Point of View)It has been 30 minutes since we got home from the restaurant. I paced from one corner of the living room to the other with my hand on my hips. Nate had connections with Mrs. Evans but why? What did she want to do with him, why Nate of all people? I know she declared she wasn't the one who got him out of penitentiary but I didn't believe a damn word that came out from her mouth, that woman was the greatest prevaricator I had ever seen. She was slanted in the cruelest way, there was nothing favorable about her!"Calm down, Evelyn, you heard what the specialist said, you can't stress yourself like this," Seb's panicked voice reached my ears and I veered around to him. I comprehended and recollected what the doctor asserted but I just couldn't help it. "Did you see that, did you see what your mother is doing?!" I mandated. I watched him sigh and ran his hand over his face. He appeared so infertile, he looked like he was combatting the notion to crash at where he st

(Kim's Point of View)It was supposed to be a marvelous day for Eloise, Ivy, and me as we found a table in Eloise's favorite restaurant but then, my twin showed up out of nowhereI rolled my eyes as she approached us, railing against the floor with her heels. "Oh, you girls are here, mind I join you," She beamed dazzlingly with fakeness attached to it. She averted her gaze to Eloise, reaching out to stroke the girl's hair. "I haven't seen you in a longest time baby sister," She let out, already taking a seat beside Eloise at our table. "It's my birthday today," Eloise fretted, realizing her older sister didn't realize it was her birthday."Oh, I totally forgot to get a gift. But why aren't we commemorating, why are you here in this cheap-looking restaurant,""Hey!" Ivy blurted, offended. "You are here too, doesn't that make you ordinary,"Kareen turned to Ivy with a smile. "You are Ivy right, I remember you in college, you were much of a techie as well, you've changed a lot. Are you

(Kim's Point of View)One thing I abhorred the most was when I was being arraigned for something I knew nothing of. I scowled at the photos in my hand. They were taken from earlier at the restaurant when that bastard had his hands on my waist but the captured shot and angle made it seem like I was almost kissing him and we were in an intimate stance.I looked up from the photos to Arthur. "What's the meaning of this, where did you get these pictures?"He seemed irritated as he poked his inner cheek. "Shouldn't I be the one polling you, Kim, what were you doing in those photos?!""I was doing nothing, Arthur," I conceded immediately, what was he getting at?"I've always cautioned you of your stature, whatever your do will evaluate inadequately on the Rodriguezs. If you are going to do something inappropriate, do it where the municipal eyes wouldn't see you," He snarled, peering up at me with undecipherable eyes and a locked jaw.My jaw plunged in astonishment. "A-are you trying to say

(Kim's Point of View)"Kim," Arthur wheeled himself out from the kitchen, his phone in his lap. I grinned as he came between Mrs. Evans and me."Did you receive it?" I inquired, crossing my arms over my chest.He didn't respond as he looked at his Aunt with a blank gaze. I looked at her, she looked frozen as if her worst nightmare was standing in from of her. Who could have thought, the tough and mighty Mrs. Evans could also get scared? it gave me nothing but utter satisfaction. Now she knew how her medicine tasted and it was bitter."Arthur, it's not what you think," She began in a much more panicked tone than I expected. I pressed my lips together.Arthur showed us the message I send on his phone and pressed the play feature."Arthur, No!" Mrs. Evans cried out, snatching the phone from her nephew but it was too late as the record played and we waited however, there was nothing but violent noises. She frowned deeply, waiting a bit longer but nothing was being said in the tap."It's j

(Kim's Point of view,)Mrs. Evans showed up at Arthur's house for the third time this week. What did this woman want, she didn't have a place to live?She was scheming, it turned out.When I entered the living room, Mrs. Evans was bawling in Arthur's arms. I frowned at the sight."What exactly is going on?" I spoke out, garnering Arthur's stern look. What happened this time?"I believe that inquiry is intended for you," he stated.I stood quietly, my gaze shifting from Arthur's to Mrs. Evans'. What had she said this time to him? "I'm not sure what you're talking about, Arthur.""Aunt stated that she had been summoned to the precinct to make a statement. I thought I warned you not to get involved. Do you realize how much grief you've caused my aunt while she sat there, going through those horrible memories? You seem to forget that my father was her elder brother. Whatever hurts me, harms her."What the hell is going on? "You told me to mind my own business, and that's precisely what I

(Kim's Point of view)It had been two days and I still hadn't gone home as I decided to remain in Ivy's home and it has been two days since I had been neglecting Arthur's calls.If he was phoning and messaging, she hadn't done him anything yet. If she had done anything, I would have known anyway. I would never leave Arthur alone with the adversary.I sighed as I heard my phone beep for the tenth time. I simply did not want to speak with him on the phone.I grimaced when Ivy entered the living room with a cup of coffee in her hand. "That stinks, Ivy!"She raised an eyebrow. "What's wrong with you, you've never despised the scent of coffee?"I shook my head. "I simply want the aroma to be acceptable; I've just developed a sensitivity to a lot of things lately.""Are you expecting?" She blurted out."What!" Flabbergasted, I exclaimed. "Where did you get that?"It was now her turn to shrug. "I'm not sure. You know as a novelist, I've had pregnant characters before,"I sighed and rolled my

(Kim's Point of View)"I'm sorry, the patient didn't make it, time of death, 3:45 pm,""W-hat?!"The doctor sighed. "His body rejected the donor's heart and had caused some major complications, I'm sorry we couldn't save him,"A laugh shredded off me and I took a step toward the doctor. "Tell me you're joking?" I mandated. "TELL ME YOU'RE FREAKING JOKING!" My hands automatically reached out to grab the doctor but I felt hands holding me back. "YOU SAID HE WAS GOING TO SURVIVE, YOU FREAKING SAID NOTHING WOULD GO WRONG, AND NOW YOU'RE TELLING ME HE'S FREAKING DEAD!" I cried out at the top of my lungs yet no tear had fallen out from my eyes yet. "Put yourself together, Mrs. Rodriguez and I'm sorry for your loss," Sorry? Put myself together? I lost my husband. No, that couldn't be true, this was probably some squeamish joke. There was no way Arthur was dead!I looked at Mrs. Evans. "You!"She looked astonished as if she was caught off guard I was talking to her. I shook the hands holdi
