Somewhere in the USA…
Micheal Shaw POV
Tears pricked my eyes as I stare down at Margaret adoring smile in the picture frame. I picked it from the nightstand and held it tight to my chest, letting my tears flow freely from my eyes. “Where are you, Margaret?” I sobbed.
“Just come back already and fight me. Please”I cried for what feels like a long time and finally wiped my tears with the hem of my t-shirt.“I miss you, Margaret,” I whispered, using my forefinger to trace her lips in the picture.I sniffed my running nose before returning the picture to its previous position and picked my cellphone beside it. I unlocked it and went through my contacts for Rodney's number.I dialed his number immediately I found it, and he picked up after the second ring.“How are you doing, son?” I asked, trying to sound cheerful like usual. I wouldn't want him to notice I just stopped crying. “WhaTamara POVI was still sitting on the same spot, with a lot of thoughts running through my head. A car suddenly halted in front of me snapping me out of my thoughts. My eyes on the car, I watched as two guys in black suits alighted and began to walk to my direction. I gulped nothing as I stood up from the bench. "You need to come with us, ma'am" The first guy on sunshade said calmly immediately they stood in front of me. I shivered with fright. "Who are.. you?" I stuttered, while cringing. Oh my goodness! I screamed inwardly as the realization came clear to my face. My father had sent them! And without warning, I took my heels."Tell my father you can't find me!" I screamed on top of my voice, still running. Iturned to look at them and they were already running after me.Christ!I ran for a long time and when I was so sure they were not running after me anymore, I finally stopped running on a bridge, panting heavily.I flipped my hair backward wi
Tamara POVThe driver drove into his mansion and halted in the parking lot.Wow… There were so many cars.He alighted from the car and I also did the same, still avoiding his nice-looking face.Throughout the ride, I was nervous, and I felt like becoming invisible beside him.I couldn't hide my excitement when he had suggested I should come with him, I nearly jumped on him. I mean, any normal lady would kill to swap position with me now.“Holy crap!” I exclaimed under my breath, immediately I glance up. Is this a house or a castle? I trailed behind him as I couldn't help looking around the whole place in complete awe. I didn't notice we have gotten to the main entrance door, and I almost tripped. So clumsy!I slowly stepped into the living room after him, and I could feel my breath choked in my throat at the sight before me. Goodness gracious! This was indeed heaven in earth.This place was a hundred million times preferab
Tamara POVThe sun glinted on the window and shines to my face. I slowly sat up and leaned my back against the headboard,I yawned loudly while flipping my hair to my shoulder. I don't even know how long I slept.A big smile spread on my face as the previous day memory flashes through my mind.My celebrity crush-my lifesaver!Aww- two in one.I slowly crawled out of the bed and headed for the closet, gleefully. I brought out all the dresses, grinning from ear to ear. Rodney is just too sweet.One of his maid had brought them to my room last night. My cheeks flamed up when she told me Rodney had bought them for me.I love you, Rodney!I will have to try them out one after the other, I thought, still smiling big*****I settled with a tank top together with a black shorts. I slide my feet into my new purple flurry slippers before sitting down on a stool, across the dressing mirror.I was brushing my hair when a knock came o
Rodney POV,I slammed my hand hard against the table.Rodney, seriously?You can't even concentrate anymore…What has come over you?Why is she getting into my head?Her calmness,Her blue eyes,The way she stared down at her feet whenever she was talking to me. Darn it!You are really screwed, Rodney!I don't want to believe this. No!It can never happen.“Mr. Rodney” I felt a light tap on my shoulder and I jerked up immediately. “What's wrong?”“Why did you hit your hand on the table?”“Are you tired of the meeting?” The board members rushed their questions, and I forced an uneasy smile. “If you don't mind, can we please continue tomorrow?” I asked them politely, and they all exchanged a quick glance before nodding their heads.“No problem” They all said in unison and with that, I stood on my feet and marched out of the confere
Tamara POV“I've found the person, which is you,” She pointed out, and I could feel my heart thud. “Me?” I asked in disbelief, pointing a finger to my chest, she nodded as she came closer to where I was standing. “Dear, I need you to help me with something,” She began in a tender voice, and I swallowed very hard.“I need you to help me earn Rodney's forgiveness,” She continues, and my eyes dilated in surprise. What was she trying to say?“I am Rodney's mother, and I've wronged him in the past few years and I know it” She paused, fighting back her tears and I felt for her immediately.“He's very pissed at me, he doesn't want to see me anywhere close to him, he's so mad at me, but I need my son back, please” She busted out in tears as she held my hands in hers.I snuggled her into my chest, stroking her scent filled hair. Rodney's Mom?She finally disentangled from the hug after a w
Rodney POVI woke up the following morning with my head pounding very hard. "Agh" I muffled a groan while sitting up on the bed.Gosh!I hate a hangover.But seriously, how much did I drink last night?I heard a knock on the door. “Just come in,” I groaned inwardly, as I rested my head on the headboard.I glanced up to saw her walking in with a tray in her hands.Huh?What's she doing?She dropped the tray on my nightstand and the scent of the coffee filled my nostril. “Good morning” She greeted with an adoring smile, but I only have a nod. I felt too weak to even utter a word.“I hope you slept well” She asked, and I looked up at her. I just hope I hadn't spurted nonsense last night. “Here, have this” She stretched forth a bottle of pills to me.“This would really help” I slowly collected it from her, lowering my head; deeply ashamed. “Breakfast would be ready
Alicia POVI waited impatiently for Mara in the exquisite living room. A maid has gone to fetch her.Isn't she lucky?Any normal lady would definitely tie her down to be in her position. I was still averting my eyes everywhere in complete awe when I suddenly heard footsteps; In a swift, I tilted my head backward to the direction and there she comes, with Rodney behind her.She spotted me and her eyes widened instantly.I sprang on me as I opened my arms widely for her, beaming with happiness. “Alicia” She screamed happily and ran into my openedarms. I missed her so much.She stayed in my embrace while I inhaled her silky smooth hair. Some minutes passed, and we finally disengaged from the hug, tears were rolling down her cheeks already.“Oh no… Princess doesn't cry,” I hushed her, wiping her tears with my right palm.“I missed you so much, Alicia,” Her voice throbbed as she held my hand in her
Tamara POVIt was really a long day.Alicia and I discussed so many things, she also gists me about the new employee.We really had a great time!.We both ate a delicious meal, prepared by the maids; we both walked around the whole mansion; and she wouldn't stop reminding me how lucky I am. She felt so sad after hearing everything, but I still wonder how she's going to react if she ever gets to know all I've gone through in the hands of my Dad.Well, I lied to her that I felt intimidated and left the house without him knowing.I just pray no one ever gets to know about my secret. And my father, I wonder how he's being faring. I thought within myself as I unbind my hair.Sienna POV“Just keep quiet already!” I shut him up after he had finish narrating what he has been up to. “You mean to tell me you have been looking for a girl, I mean, your personal maid for the past few days?” I half yelled and breathe out.
