Chapter 110: Another Surprise

DAMIAN “Happy birthday gum gum,” Her father says, stepping out from behind my egghead friend and in a flash, she’s gone from my hand which suddenly makes me feel empty as she rushes and hugs him, crying loudly in his arms. Yesterday, when I woke up, the doctors told me how lucky I was to have survived and that if she hadn’t brought me in when she did, I would have died and that even then, my survival was nothing short of a miracle. I know the only reason I survived was because of her, because I wanted to be with her, to hold her, to love her, to cherish and adore her, my beautiful angel, my sweet kitten. She was the first thing on my mind when I woke up yesterday and it took a l

Chapter 111: Don't Stop

DAMIAN “It’s good to have you back home Damian,” Ana says, smiling at me as I step into the house, feeling the welcoming sense of home, but it’s not the fucking building, it’s the gorgeous angel beside me because I know, anywhere she is will be fucking home to me. I spent the last month and a half at the hospital recuperating and the doctors only just discharged me today but I have to keep going in for weekly check ups for the next three months until my heart gets back to its full functioning capacity. Right now, I have a small tube somewhere in my chest and until I am fully healed and it is removed, I cannot be medically declared fit even though I feel no physical pain or discomfort and my body seems to be functioning properly.&n

Chapter 112: Buckle Up

SCARLETT “I demand half of all his cash and assets! I have been married to him for over twenty years, I deserve good compensation,” Dahlia yells at the top of her voice in Dad’s new mansion that he bought for him and his new sweetheart, my mama bear, Lexi. The moment dad got out of prison, I wasted no time in telling him the truth about Dahlia and the woman I now call mom, Lexi. Despite how much Lexi protested, I just could not stop myself. She has loved him for years, refusing to fully give herself to another man and yet she never made a move to snatch him from Dahlia. What kind of a daughter would I be if I just folded my hands and watch my father and mother continue to be betrayed and deceived by a vile woman like Dahlia.

Chapter 113: In Your Hands

TREVOR I took a life for her and I became a fugitive, living from hand to mouth and constantly evading capture but not anymore, I need to get out of this city for good. I didn’t want to kill Ashley that day, after I knocked her down to prevent her from shooting Scarlett, she was determined to still do it and while wrestling with her for the gun, I mistakenly pulled the trigger and she died on the spot. I became scared, I panicked and did the only thing I could do, bury her body and run for my life. The first few days were the hardest, having to rely on my boy scout skills and living in the open forest, feeding on fruits and nuts and weaving leaves and vines for shelter.&n

Chapter 114: A Chance

SCARLETT I slowly pick up the gun, pointing it at his forehead with my hands trembling. Hate, anger, frustration, all compounding and marauding my thoughts. The memories of everything he did to me, cheating on me with Ashley and humiliating me time and time again for her sake, conniving with her to use me to frame my father and send him to prison, an act that plunged my life into hell and then the verbal, emotional and physical abuse that followed. He doesn’t deserve my forgiveness, I don’t want to feel pity for him, even with the tears streaming down his eyes or with how genuine his words sound. This is Trevor, it could all still be an act to do something more evil but if he hadn’t been wicked and done those things to me, I never would have met my hero, my rock and my shield, my resting place.

Chapter 115: A Beautiful Family

SCARLETT“Mommy huwwy, Bad wolf will catch us,” My two year old daughter, Carmela, drags my hand, giggling as we run into my room, looking for where to hide from the big bad wolf with red scarves tied on our backs.“Roar….I’ll get you,” Damian’s voice comes from under the stairs as his footsteps make heavy thudding noises.This is Carmela’s favourite game and Damian loves nothing more than to make her happy. If there is anyone that can compete with his love for me, it is the love he has for our kids.“They went into mom’s room dad,” Jayden, my annoying and beautiful five year old son yells at the top of his voice from their room which adjoins mine.“Jayden talk too much, now daddy will catch us,” Carmela makes an annoyed face.I smile at her, wondering why she took all of her dad’s features and barely any of mine, the black hair, deep black eyes, full and plump lips, his slightly wide nose and even at just two, the glare she has on her face is so similar to his icy one.“Quick, let’s
