Vanessa's point of view."Mary, I don't understand," I scrambled my words together tying to form a coherent sentence.I didn't understand what was happening. I doubted I had contacted Mary at all."Surprise," She said. She waved her hand in the air but did not move from where she stood. I guessed she didn't know what to do with me the same way I didn't know what to do with her."What are you doing here? Who brought you here?" I asked the moment I found my voice.The smile on her face faltered a bit and she looked to the side. I had forgotten Dave was even there."Vanessa," He started, "Victoria told me about Mary and the fact that she was worried sick about you and Victor, she hadn't heard from you in a long time and...""So she went behind my back and told her about me? Did anyone think to ask me the reason why I didn't want Mary here?" I screamed out. I was angry at that moment, I hated when something that would affect me directly was done and no one thought it would be okay to ask

Anthony's point of viewTwo years felt like ten years but finally it was over. It was officially the day the contract was null and void.Vanessa was no longer my wife and in a way, I was a single man."Well finally, congratulations," Josephine said to me that morning. She had kept her a calender in the kitchen of the apartment where she marked this day on.I should have known she would be there this morning. I had been very successful in my attempts of avoiding her while we lived in the same house."Thank you," I said sarcastically, "When are you moving out?" I asked her.The same question I asked whenever I saw her. I was so sick and tired of seeing her face, most of the time I wondered what I had even see in her when we were still fucking.She sighed, "We're meant to be together Anthony, celebrate your divorce today by hitting the drinks with me. We could have a good time and enjoy ourselves," She winked at me.I had to stop myself from shuddering out in disgust. "The last time I d

Anthony's point of viewCame back to the club the next day dressed in my normal attire. I was ready to talk to her now, whatever happened during the conversation would determine what would happen afterwards.We needed to get everything settled."Good morning," I said the bartender, took a seat directly opposite him, "I want another martini," I continued.He nodded and went backward to bring a martini bottle. This was my way to get him to talk about what I needed."Here you go sir," He said."Thank you,"I opened the drink and took a sip. I wasn't really interested in drinking it."There was a lady here yesterday, I think she's your manager or something," I told the bartender then took another sip from the Martini to act nonchalant."She has a child."The bartender shrugged, "Yes, our manager is a lady. What's the issue?" He asked.Well it seemed like this guy was going to be a problem. "No issue actually, I like her and want to talk to her. Perhaps even flirt with her or something or

Vanessa's point of viewRegrets. Confusion.Those were the only emotions I felt throughout Anthony's little visit and when he left. Then I felt disappointment because of the way my body reacted to him when he came, when he had us against the wall.The warmness and heat that seemed to pool in between my legs was something I hadn't felt for a very long time. I thought it was because of the pregnancy or childbirth so I didn't think anything was wrong with me.Then Victor. Oh my baby. I had done something I hadn't expected myself to do, all in all I behaved rather poorly when I thought about it."Victor," I whispered before knocking on his door.I had this nagging feeling that Victor would be gone from his room and from my life because he couldn't stand the kind of sister I had become. He would go back to the waiting arms of Elizabeth Thorn."Victor," I called out again, knocked harder but still no response.Was this the silent treatment phase? I opened the door and walked in to find Vic

Vanessa's point of viewReturning back to town wasn't something I had thought about in a long time. Honestly, I figured we were going to just stay in Los Angeles, plant roots down or just leave the place when we desire.Anthony assured me Elizabeth wouldn't take my brother and son away from me, I hadn't seen her yet by the way but Anthony told me she had come. For a brief amount of time however and had left like there was something on her tail."I can't believe I'm leaving Kylie and all my new friends behind again, I was just starting to fit in," Victor complained to no one in particular, he was in his room putting clothes in his bags.I felt bad I was uprooting him from a new life to the old one again after I initially uprooted him from an old life to this. It honestly wasn't fair to the kid but I didn't know what I was going to do.Anthony and I had decided to give it a try again. A real try this time because there was nothing that could stop us, nothing that would come in the way o
