I frowned, wondering who the woman was, before deciding that being offended by her admonishment would require way too much of my strength. Clearly I was going to need that strength in the face of Mark's unexpected and unprecedented hostility. An alarming thought struck me, and I sat up in a blind panic, ignoring the sudden onslaught of dizziness.“Passed out at work?” My voice sounded weak, even to my own ears. “Oh no . . . I have to call my boss!” I said, trying to search for my handbag.“Mark .” The woman placed gentle hands on my shoulders to push me back onto the cot, her lovely eyes brimming with sympathy. “I’m afraid that he wasn’t very sympathetic about any of this. He said something about having had enough of your drama and that you shouldn’t bother coming back. I’m so sorry.”“Oh no,” I moaned. “No, no. I needed that job!”“Well if you wanted to keep it, you shouldn’t have gone to work in the condition you were in today, young lady.” A stern voice intruded from the doorway, w

“Answer me, damn you!” Alex was growling. How could he remain unaware of the approaching babble of an effervescent eight-month-old baby? He had his back to the door and so he did not see Alessa and the now-faltering Maria crossed the threshold. Maria hesitated at my gaze, she swept around the room, immediately picking up on the tension. The toddler had no such reservations and upon seeing l a me, her face lit up and she made a beeline for the cot. She was muttering incoherently under her breath, as was her wont, and her nappy-clad bottom waddled comically as she toddled her way towards me. Alex still seemed to have no idea that his daughter was here, and as Alessa is such a stubborn girl, she began to cry when the baby sitter didn’t drop her to the floor to crawl. Maria kept signaling me if she should bring her to me and I nod my head. When Maria brought her to me she hit her father and laugh and he stare deeply at her trying to figure out if she was the daughter he was asking after

I covered my face with her hands, feeling as wrung out as a dishcloth. Hot tears seeped through the cracks of her fingers as she allowed herself to weep for everything that I had lost and I was still losing. I was so wrapped up in her own misery , suddenly I felt a arm around my shoulder, I look up to the person’s face and it was Lisa.“Shhh, it’s okay, it’s okay . . .” Marks pretty wife was perched on the side of the bed, her head bowed toward me. “You’ll be alright, both you and your beautiful little girl will be absolutely fine. Alex will take care of you.”“Alex hates me,” I negated miserably.“Alex could never hate the woman who has given him such a gorgeous daughter,” Lisa denied.“ I lived with him for months to know this? I said.“ I don’t think he is still that man you knew then, he is a different man” she said.“He blames me for what happened to him,” I groaned. “And I don’t even know what happened to him! How did he lose his hearing?” I lifted tear-drenched brown eyes to Li

A few hours we arrived home in Florida , I was still unsettled by the emotions those long ago memories on the chopper had stirred up. I was standing in the conservatory; it was the highest point in the staggered house and had always felt like an eagle’s aerie to her. All but one wall, as well as half of the ceiling, was entirely made of glass.I gazed down at the beautiful, blue Atlantic Ocean with its pristine beaches. To my left was a view of the mountain range. One of the best view of the private house.The house was exactly as she remembered. Big and beautiful, it was built into the face of the mountain and had panoramic views all around. I loved this house, absolutely loved the way it caught the sun. I never knew how much I missed the view until now maybe because I never saw it as a home to me, I had always wanted to leave back then. Every memories came back to me as I stepped out of the chopper, the bad and the good memories but I guess the bad memories was much with the sweet s

JEFFI wanted to tell my wife but then I didn’t tell her again, I wanted us to hear from the joint investigator we had hired.STEPHANIE.After two months I successfully succeeded in winning over the heart of the stupid bastard. I like the fact that he helped me humiliate my sister but he didn’t let me go even the whole drama has subsided. People are still talking about it but not very much as I thought they would keep talking about. For some days now I would lie that I needed to go to the hospital and he would always follow me but today he let me go on my own. I was so happy that I had won him over with my fake love.Immediately I got out of there I rush back home for my credit card. I walk past my mom who was in call asking if the police had found me. “ Stephanie! Stephanie!! I didn’t answer , I dashed into my room, she rushes after me, she entered into my room.“ Where have you been for the past two months, I called your line it was switched off, I called all your friends and none
