I was so happy that I skipped out the door into the empty street on top of the world that I managed to do it. Although I didn't have a game plan when I got into that cab, I managed to get it done somehow. I was supposed to be worried about facing Rickon for not meeting up at the agreed time.But I didn't have to worry. I got it done, that was all that mattered. I walked through the empty street looking behind at every sound I heard. Big rats were running around and in and out of the empty houses. He was the only one who lived there with a bunch of rats but he didn't seem to mind and was ready to defend his home.I had no idea how I was going to get back to the city, as there were no taxis around. I had to walk through a bushy path before reaching the road, which was a major road that wouldn’t have taxis. I also needed to get to the hospital before 5 pm to see my baby. I didn't know what the time was and I was struggling to walk through the path without stumbling on my shaky heels.I

RAE“Wow you are a genius, how did you get it done?” Jack asked once he saw me step in through the front door“Don’t flatter me” I forced out a laugh, I had a lot on my mind“Really, you did what no one has been able to do for a while now not even Rickon” he whispered the last part“I heard that” Rickon said as he walked past us“Oops” Jack laughed “You didn’t tell me you were going to get her, I would have done that” he rushed behind RickonI slumped into the chair, doing my little research, palming my face in my hand. I was out of positive remarks to keep myself going and I wanted nothing more than to collapse in a corner and cry my eyes out.Why don’t I think things through? I couldn’t beg for a job anymore, I understood his reservations about not wanting to hire me. All I could do was somehow try to raise my child properly without neglecting him and return to the labor market.How that was going to happen with no income?I had no clue It was just me and it was better that I acc

RICKON“This is fucking bullshit,” I hauled my phone across the wall, watching as it slammed into the wall and shattered to the ground. Jack didn’t bother to pick it up; he just handed me another phone, and I dialed the same number again. It went straight to the automated message, just like earlier. I squeezed tightly in my palm about to throw it across the room again when the phone vibrated in my hand it was them calling. “You fuckers are done for good I promise you” That was the first thing I said before they uttered a word“We apologize for the delay si-” that was all they did repeating the same thing like a broken record it was exhausting, it made me want to painfully kill everyone involved in it and I wasn’t just bluffing I was on the fucking edge.“Complete that sentence I dare you!” I roared slamming my fist against the table and the person on the phone went silent“Where is my shipment?” I asked after taking in a shaky breath, my anger had gone through the roof“The situatio

RAEI carefully placed him into his cot trying not to make a single sound as I tiptoed out of his room. Raising a child was such an out-of-body experience, ever since he was discharged from the hospital it had been a journey. The first few days I spent with him I would burst out crying at random, I would spend nights awake just watching him sleep. I carried him around like an egg. I didn't want anything to hurt him. It was challenging at first, but I was never overwhelmed because he made it seem so easy. Theo was the best baby anyone could ask for, he made it so easy. He was a happy child; he was never fussy, only when necessary. Every day I woke up happy that I decided to have him. He was my familyHe meant the world to me and I was never going to trade that feeling for anything else.He made me feel so loved.I stood there for a few seconds longer staring at him through the small gap in the door. His chest rising and falling slowly. His tiny fingers curled into soft fists beside

RAEI sat down with him right then in the restaurant and had him write the article in front of me. I schooled him on the right words to use and how they should be written, word for word, and he did exactly as I said. He tried to get more words out of me about Axel and his company saga which I answered a few and ignored a few.Questions like?If I knew what happened to the first wife, he was married to, who was ironically me sitting in front of him, I didn’t say anything to him but he kept going on about how he was sure I didn’t really die by accident but instead I was killed.Which was entirely a lie. If I had died it would have been for a single reason which was abandonment, which indirectly meant they killed me. I had to hold back from letting go of all my anger and just say everything to him, from the horrible marriage I was thrown into, to how my family were money-hungry fools, maybe one day I would have it in me to do that.“I guess that would be all” I told him after I confirme
