(Kim's Point of View)Shyness and embarrassment, I'd never felt it hit me this hard. The blush on my cheeks was evident and the fact that he hadn't stopped staring was not helping.There I was in my room, with a towel wrapped around my chest and it barely covered my thighs, my hair was wet as I just got out of the shower and, then, the door of my room opened and I gasped in shock as Arthur wheeled in.We froze and so did time. I held my towel tightly to my chest and gulped as he drank me in, his grey eyes going from my face to my legs and they remained there. I didn't know if I imagined it at the flash of lust in his eyes and he gulped before he looked back at my face and my breath hitched at the way his eyes went foggy and I felt trapped in them and suddenly, I felt my body getting heated under his gaze. I wasn't uncomfortable but why wasn't he looking away? I don't recognize my body whenever he looks at me like that!"Arthur," His name lightly left my lips and I almost didn't recogn

(Kim's Point of View)Have you ever marveled how a person could have all the handsomeness in the world while doing absolutely nothing? Well, I have and in this case, Arthur Rodriguez was aesthetical, I couldn't take my eyes away and my plate of food was left forgotten at my sight while my gaze paused on my husband, sitting at the edge of the dining table browsing through his phone.His features were that of a fictional character, his mannerism and attitude, his everything just made him perfect and I could ogle at him all day while my hands thrilled to grab the nearest Camara and take a shot of this perfecto.Suddenly, he was looking at me and his grey eyes struck me hard but I didn't look away, the nostalgic look on my face deepening. How could one be that handsome? It was illegal!"Is there something on my face, Mrs. Rodriguez," he quizzed and I stupidly wagged my eyebrows as if I wasn't being asked a question."You are so handsome," the words vacated my lips before I could infer or

(Kim's Point of View)First of all, I didn't know how Ivy made me come to this bullshit called a high school reunion. Why did I come? And what was I anticipating?I let Ivy chatter me into this and I was abhorring every moment of my life as we sauntered into the private suit they had equipped for this so-called reunion and we were unpunctual, not that I cared. "I have a bad feeling about this Ivy," I heralded for the nth time since Ivy called me out from my house, luckily it was Saturday and blue cloud weather. Ivy rolled her eyes at me. "Come on, it's going to be alright, we are only going to meet our former friends," "Your old friends you mean, you were my only friend in high school, and don't get me started on college. No one wants to be friends with a techie," I verbalized, recollecting my horrendous school life. "There's nothing wrong with being a nerd, I was a geek too remember,"I lolled at her words. Yes, she was a dork but not my type of nerd. She didn't have bizarre glas

(Kim's Point of View)I could imagine a lot of things but not this, not the sight before me, never in a million years did I think I would get to see Arthur break down in front of me. So, I did the first thing that came to my mind as I propelled in through the door of the little storage room of Arthur's portraits.I scurried to his side where he was nestled on the floor, a brush clasped on his hand while a half painting of terrain lay on the canvas beside him."Arthur," I reached his side, shoving the wheelchair to the corner, huddled him into my arms, and held him close to my chest. I stroked his hair while he let out broke cries. What had happened? Why was he breaking down? My thoughts galloped wild and far and I looked at the illustration and found nothing unique about it, had the portrait ignited something?"Shh, it's going to be alright. I'm right here," I mumbled, placing a consoling kiss on his head. The more he wept, the more I felt my heart clutched and I didn't like the sen

(Evy's Point of View)"Why do you still keep ignoring my calls?" Sebastian catechized as soon I picked up the call and brought it to my ear.I licked over my dehydrated lips. "I have not. I've been quite brisk. I promise not to ignore your calls anymore remember," I ensured him before a cough came from the other side. "What's wrong with you? Are you sick?""No, how can I get sick, it's just a little cough and perhaps a bit of cold, other than that, I'm in perfect shape,"I was already on my feet when another cough reached my ear but more severe. "That doesn't sound like it's nothing. Text me your address, I will be there in fifteen minutes,""It's fine, you don't have to come. You said you are occupied, didn't you? I don't want to infringe on your work,"I rolled my eyes. "Just send me your freaking address, Mr. Evans," I demanded and a chuckle came from the other side."Alright, alright Mrs. Evans. I will send you my address," With that, I hung up and began packing my things off my

(Evy's Point of View) Disposing of the last condom, Seb collapsed beside me on the bed and we both panted while staring at the ceiling. Then Seb was pulling me to his chest and kissing the top of my head. "Are you going to tell me what's going on now, baby?" He inquired after catching his breath. "It's nothing," I shrugged in his embrace. "I thought we vouched not to hide anything from each other," At his words, I freed myself from his arms and sat upright while putting the sheets up to encircle my bare body. I gawked at him disdainfully. "Do you have a girlfriend?" He snickered. "A girlfriend? Why would I have a girlfriend when I already have a wife, Evy, so no, I don't have a girlfriend, I haven't had one in a while, trust me," Trust him? The two words knelled in my head repeatedly. Should I trust him? What if he was making a fool out of me? I looked away and chastised myself. Gosh, Evy, you are way past that, he had ascertained times without numbers that he wanted you, why

(Evy's Point Of View)Every blow, every unwelcome touch, every insult flashed before my eyes like a rerun of the wretched existence I used to live, making my stomach churn and my heart incinerate. It stings!"Baby,"The pet name ran through my thoughts like a soothing symphony I wanted to hear for the rest of my life. My eyes opened on their own, revealing a pair of wary and worried-filled silver orbs staring down at me. Suddenly, the pain in my heart vanished, and it was replaced with warmth and tranquility."Baby, come here," He didn't ask if I was alright because he knew I wasn't. I giddily complied and rolled on his chest, and his arm around my waist and drew me close. When he kissed my head, I hummed. "Would you like to talk about it, baby?"I closed my eyes, considering whether or not to tell him, and before I could react, he beat me to it."I want you to know that I will not put any pressure on you to tell me anything. I'm willing to wait our entire lives because I know it will

(Evy's Point Of View)Five days had passed since that ordeal and I hadn't heard from nor seen Mrs. Evans nor had I seen Sebastian as he dismissed my calls and I had been too brisk to visit which I was planning on doing on the weekend.I sighed at the workload on my desk while tapping the keys of my laptop continuously. It was stymieing.I didn't know how long passed since I sat on that chair till the door of my office unlocked unannounced to reveal Diana, she shimmered and I rolled my eyes."It's lunchtime, Evy. Let's go out," she proposed."I can't Diana, I have so much work to do today and, I need to get it all done before Monday," I retorted with my gaze fixed on my laptop screen till it was slammed shut and nearly chopped off my nails. I looked up with a glare to find Diana leaning down on the table. "I will help you with your work since I will be having nothing to do and the kids are going out with their dad. So, what do you say, deal?" She held her hand out for a handshake.I s

(Kim's Point of View)"We are here Mrs. Rodriguez,"At the voice, I eventually looked up from my phone and peered out the window, realizing the car had stopped in front of a gold-colored home. I nearly gawked at the mansion and stepped out of the car carefully. The Evans was, in fact, the country's second wealthiest family.A lady dressed as a maid stood in front of the main door, beaming as she proceeded down the front steps, approaching me. "Mrs. Rodriguez, Mrs. Evans has been anticipating your coming,"I reciprocated the smile as she led me inside the house, and if Arthur's home had left me in amazement, this time it was the opulence that greeted me.She walked me to a spacious living room and offered me a seat. "Do you want something to drink while I notify Mrs. Evans of your arrival?""I'd be ok with just water, thank you!" I grinned as she walked away, returning a minute later with a glass of water, giving it to me, and then she was gone to notify Mrs. Evans.I had no clue why t

(Kim's Point of View)"So, what do you say, will you work with me and achieve our goals as independent women?"I immediately shook my head to clear my mind. But I couldn't stop thinking about it.Self-sufficient women? Her perspective of autonomous women was that they used others to acquire what they wanted, even Arthur.Did not go as planned?What exactly did she mean? It couldn't be that she was the one who caused the accident that left Arthur in that state, could it?My lips parted in a gasp, and I clamped my mouth shut fast. It couldn't be, I was simply thinking too hard about it, it had to be."Are you insane now?"My train of thought was cut short as Arthur's voice interfered. I reeled toward his direction on the opposite couch scrolling through his phone while I was lying on the sofa with a magazine. "Huh?""You have been speaking to yourself for the past ten minutes," he responded without looking at me, and when he finally looked up at me and I felt struck by his grey eyes. I
