Semua Bab Loving Her Second Chance Billionaire: Bab 41 - Bab 50

Despite Raina’s insistence, I did not press charges against Walter and his family. However, we made them sign some legal documents of undertaking in which they promised to stay away from me and the girls. They also agreed to honor the restraining order that was issued before the brazen abduction.Although Raina isn’t impressed with my ex-in-law’s cooperation, I feel at peace knowing that my children and I are finally safe from their toxicity and I won’t be responsible for sending an entire family to jail.Following the recommendation from the school counselor, Zenna and Krissy will start seeing a therapist next weekend. In the meantime, the school has suggested that the twins take the rest of this week off to relax and then resume school the following week after their first therapy session.“Now that everything has been sorted and tied up with a neat little bow, what next?” Raina asks me as we drive back to my place together.“I don’t know,” I reply while navigating the heavy afternoo

I feel a bit foolish as I continue to listen to my friend dissecting my non-existent love life. This is getting ridiculous.“I should probably just focus on myself and my kids from now on,” I say resolutely. “After all, I only just got divorced, so – ““So, it’s time for you to move on with your life and stop acting as if dating Sam is the most scandalous thing you could ever do in your life,” Jessica cuts in before I can finish my sentence.“You’re overthinking this, Eunice. You don’t need anybody’s permission to carry on with your life as you please, my dear. You’ve got only one life to live!”I think Jessica and Raina are right. It’s high time I stopped acting like I owe the world an explanation about how I choose to live my life, and just go ahead and do it.I can’t deny that I am already developing feelings for Sam, so why am I stalling? Is it because of Paula, or is it because I lowkey feel like Sam is too much for me?What would it hurt to step into the dating pool again, and w

I hear Diana sigh through the phone line as our conversation continues. Like everyone else, she does not understand my reason for letting the crazy Francis family get away with their crimes against me and my children.“Look, I hope they honor that undertaking for the sake of those innocent children,” says Diana, “if not, I will personally see to it that they get locked up in the deepest part of San Quentin State Prison. They should be thankful that I’m not the one they messed with; I wouldn’t think twice about sending them to the slammer for life.”I can’t help but laugh at Diana’s words. My no-nonsense friend is definitely not the most forgiving person in the world.“I’m glad that’s all straightened out, though,” she continues. “And that brings me to the star of the moment – Sam! Girl, please tell me you’ve given him a ball-busting BJ as a ‘thank you’ treat for his heroic efforts.”“Diana!” I squeal in embarrassment.“Mum, are you ok?” Krissy calls out from the living room.“Yes, dar

“I can’t believe this,” I say almost breathlessly with anger. “So, you’re buying an expensive designer dress for the sake of a trend?”“No, Eunice,” Mama snaps irritably. “I am buying it because I want to wear a uniform look with the rest of my friends in the CMG in church. I am the executive secretary of the group, for heaven’s sake! Not wearing that dress is not even an option for me!”I bite back a sharp retort and instead say, “Ok, Mama. I’ve heard you, but you will have to wait for a week or so before I send the money.”“Why?” She asks petulantly.“Because I’m in the process of restocking some merchandise in my store right now,” I reply with forced patience. “I won’t have much cash left over after that. But hopefully, if we make good sales within the next week, I’ll definitely have enough money to send to you. Is that fine with you?”“No, Eunice. That is not fine with me,” Mama replies coldly. “I need to get that outfit today. I cannot wait for a week or so, as you have said. Hav

Why do I always mess things up with this guy? What is it with me and sabotaging myself at times when I should be calm?He hadn’t even said anything wrong, so why did I find his statement offensive? Why did I feel like he was judging my decision-making abilities?Was it because my ex-husband had spent years telling me that I was terrible at making decisions and condemning every choice I made throughout our marriage? Or was it because I felt as if he was simply judging me?I mean, what kind of woman remains married to a man who spends every waking moment of his life thinking of new ways to hurt her and make her miserable?After asking myself these questions, I am ashamed to admit that I have reacted to Sam’s innocent disclaimer with transferred aggression that has nothing to do with him. I keep second-guessing him and picking apart his words to find errors because of my experience with Walter.It’s not fair that I keep making him have to prove that he is not the mindless monster that I
