“He’s fine,” my mood changed and he noticed.“Is everything okay?” he asked looking at me directly, I had to look away to avoid his eyes.“Yes, everything is fine, tell me how’s your life, I heard you’re managing the company, how’s that working for you? How does work feel?” I changed the topic.“Challenging but I’m getting there, this whole CEO position is not for me, it’s overwhelming but I’ve been managing, had to keep myself busy after losing the most amazing woman ever,” he said and tried to reach for my hands but I moved, “I regret losing you,” he added.“That’s great, I mean,” I cleared my throat to correct my words, “it’s good to hear. How’s your marriage with Lucy?” “Our divorce is being finalized,” he cleared his throat, “I respect you’re my uncles wife now, I won’t force you, your friendship is enough, I was a jerk and had lost you,” he said and I nodded, he had tricked me so many times in the past and I didn’t want to fall into the same trap again.“I found out Lucy was ne

It was early morning, I struggled to get up, hungover and the sun rays disturbing my sight.“Fuck, why did I even agree to have a big window here,” I complained as I got up and started looking for my phone. I got it by the bedside table.“Wow, ten missed calls,” I had missed ten of Jade’s calls, I played the voice text he left.“Hi Jess, I have sent your car to your house, let me know when it arrives.”I dialed his number and he picked on the first ring, “Jade hey, is my car the reason you called like ten times?” I asked as I knew he was rich and cars never mattered to him whether they got lost.“You’re finally up, how are you?”“I’m great, just hungover.”“Yes, you drank too much last night,” he said.“Indeed, you didn’t even stop me,” I joked.“I tried but you refused.”“Yes you’re right, alright I’ll see you later.”“That won’t be possible.”“What? Why?”“I’m traveling back,” he said and my heart skipped a beat.“You’re traveling back, why?”“The company needs me.”“But you said y

Clinton’s POVI woke up earlier like usual, as these days I’ve been waking up early to check on my son. I didn’t want him to wake up and feel alone. I glanced at my wife, who was sleeping next to me. She was snoring peacefully, her eyes closely pressed together, she hated mornings, and the sun rays disturbed her. I covered her fragile body and after kissing her cheeks I got up and headed to my son's room. I had to see him before I washed up.“Good boy, nice,” I heard Sophia’s voice from outside, she was feeding him. I admired her for a moment picturing my wife in her position, she had never for once fed him —I guess she had her reasons. I was a man, I needed to make her feel a bond with our son, I needed her to start feeling what I felt for our son.“Good morning,” I greeted as I walked in and shook myself out of my thoughts. I didn’t want to compare my wife to her, my wife couldn’t be compared to anyone, she was incomparable despite her failure to do her housewife duties.“Good mor

Jessica’s POV“Get whatever you need and leave, I don’t want to see your face here ever again and yes the divorce papers will be sent to you by tomorrow, do sign them,” Clinton said as he held tighter onto Sophia’s waist. “Divorce?” “Yes, now get your stuff and leave,” he repeated.“We can talk about it, I’m sure divorce is not a solution, we have a son.”“Oh now she remembers,” it was Sophia who cut in, “now she remembers that she actually has a son, after how you’ve been mistreating him?”“Stay out of it Sophia!” I yelled at Sophia.“You lost him Jess, accept it and move on,” she snapped. Clinton was just standing frozen without saying a word.“Clint, say something,” I pleaded.“Like Clinton said, pack whatever you need and leave,” Sophia snapped in Clinton’s place.“I’m not leaving my son,” I refused, “if I’m going I’m taking him with me.”“You must be joking!” Clinton sounded angry.“No I’m serious, he’s my son. I suffered to give birth to him, I’ll not just lose him,” I stood f

“Then kill him. We can’t keep losing clients because of his carelessness.”  Who was he talking about? I knew it wasn’t Jade as he mentioned the word ‘losing clients’ my concern was, why did he want to kill someone. “Listen don’t stress me, just get your job done okay,” he said and hung up, I cleared my throat which made him jump. “Love, how long have you been standing there?” he awkwardly asked as he continued chopping vegetables. “Who me, I just got here,” I lied and took
