[Evy’s Point of View]"Are you so incensed at me that you can't even look at me?"I exhaled and turned to face Adam, who was seated on the chair beside my hospital bed. Our gazes met immediately, and the melancholy in his eyes was almost affecting. "I'm not angry at you, Adam; I just don't want to speak to you right now," I voiced."I assumed we were passed this, Evelyn," he lamented. He then exhaled. "I just wanted to apologize for being a jerk to you. I was just astounded to discover you were romantically involved. You know, I always thought I had a shot with you; I just never thought, I had never crossed your thoughts as a possible husband,""That's because, even after Nate, I've always looked at you as an ally, as a family. I didn't expect you to feel more for me," I sighed again. "Look, Adam, I've forgiven you, but Seb is coming in shortly, and it's best if you leave now; he doesn't seem to like you since the first time you met, and he's still upset about what occurred at the off
[Kim’s point of view]“What are you doing here?”The question decamped my lips as soon as I sauntered into the living room, finding my twin there. Sitting on one of the sofas as if she owed the place while sipping on a glass of wine.She grinned as she saw me, placing the glass of wine on the table and standing to her feet, and ambling towards me like she was on some red carpet. I rolled my eyes at the melodrama.Someone should tell her this real life and not some opera. “You didn’t answer my question, Kareen?”“I came to visit my twin who is now a widow I heard, my condolences,” she halted in front of me, bridging her arms over her chest and browsing me with her eyes. “Tell me how it feels Sis because I would have been in your position today but I guess the universe was too liberal and was in my favor but for some reason, I wish I was in your position,”My jaw closed up in irritation and my gaze turned into a scowl. “You think this is some hoax, Kareen?”She shook her head. “Not at a
(Kim's Point of View)I knew I shouldn't be working yet but I couldn't bare to stay at home and mourn, I had been doing that for weeks now, and I realized it wasn't good for my baby. Even if Arthur was gone which I still wasn't ready to accept, I still had our baby to live for.I sauntered into my office, not anticipating to see who I found there standing in the middle of the room, a black hoodie over his head that concealed his features."What are you doing here?" I queried, striding over to my seat behind the large brown office table. I peered at him, unimpressed. "And most importantly, how did you get into my office without my secretary being aware?"I heard him scoff but he didn't hoist his head. "You haven't been picking up my calls for weeks now, I thought I should take matters into my own hands. I can't have you evading me perpetually when I have something that you need,"I sighed, shutting my eyes for a moment as I processed everything. I reopened my eyes. "If I'm not picking
(Evy's Point of View)I didn't think baby things shopping could be this tiring or it wasn't tiring at all and it was just my best friend being a connoisseur about this since she had so much experience.I'd lost count of the baby stores we had entered in the past two hours since she hauled me out of my home and mandated it was time for shopping against my pretest but I was kind of grateful because for the first time in weeks, I was trudging outdoor and Seb was letting out on my own."I think we should get this?" Diana was pointing at a cute pink sock.I looked at our chart and realized everything inside was a blossoming pink. "Don't you think we've brought enough things and we aren't even sure it's going to be a girl,""Boys like pink too!" She blurted and as much as I agreed to that, I couldn't imagine my boy glowing in pink."I totally agree with you, Diana but we are not buying that, enough pink for today, how about blue or green or orange, those are generally liked
[Evy’s Point of View]I rubbed my hands together, feeling them moist.“Here,”I looked up at the voice, finding Seb holding a glass of water for me, I took it from him with a tiny and nervous smile and took a sip. He sat on the couch opposite. “Have you heard anything from the police?”It had been 30 minutes since we arrived and I was still very much apprehensive. Diana had been dropped at home. As much as she wanted to be with me at all times, she had a husband and kids to look after.Seb bobbed. “They aren’t able to apprehend him, he escaped.”Instantly, terror and panic replenished my heart. “What are we going to do, I can’t stay here knowing Nate is still out there, watching our every move,”I was being a wuss and I knew that. As much as I’d like to reprimand all of this on the pregnant hormones, I knew it was a lie.I was letting this affect me so much but this was Nate. The man that brought exhilaration and swerved that bliss into my worst nightmare. He was the devil in human fo
[4 Months Later][Ivy’s Point of View]I knew nothing about children because I had always found kids annoying, even in my novels, I did everything possible to keep child character away and I swore I won’t have any kids because as I had said, kids were annoying, however that thought of mine changed when I first found out my best friend was pregnant and, I was going to be a godmother.I remembered feeling enthusiastic for the first time about kids. I thought if Kim was having one, they couldn’t be that bad, I decided to change my thoughts about youngsters and just read everything about them when it appeared Kim needed me the most because her mother and twin sister were bitches.My friends were astonished when they found me with baby books, they went far as asking if I was knocked up accidentally but they had no idea I was ready to change because I loved my best friend and I was ready to do anything for her.To shorten the whole ass story, I thought I had everything in control, I thought
[Kim’s point of view]As I ecstatically gazed at the baby in my arms, I realized I had never before realized how blissful motherhood could be. He was my child; the only seed Arthur had left; at least he hadn't abandoned me entirely. My Killian was the only source of control and illumination I had. His eyes opened to blink at me as I affectionately grinned and reached out to touch his small cheek. I hoped Killian would someday look exactly like his father because at least Arthur had left some of his beautiful features behind, and his eyes were grey like his father's."He appears to be a strong one," Ms. Ruth thought beside me, and I agreed by nodding. My Killian was indeed a formidable opponent. Two months have passed since I gave birth, and during that time I have been at home caring for my newborn."Arthur must be so proud wherever he is," her tone was sorrowful, almost as if she was holding back a cry. I nodded again and parted my lips to speak just as the loud sound of my phone
[KIM’S POINT OF VIEW][TEN MONTHS LATER]“HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!”The screams were loud and garish, causing Killian to jerk before breaking into tiny, unrestrained giggles and waving his hands in front of us.“He’s so cute!” Ivy cooed, wiping away her invisible tears. "I never imagined children could be this adorable, or it was just little Killian over here." She reached out and lightly pinched both of his cheeks.“I think you should consider having one now,”There were only four of us, Ivy, Eloise, and Mrs. Ruth, gathered on a large rug in the middle of the living room, and I couldn't believe Killian was a year old now, he was growing so fast. It seemed like only yesterday that I was screaming my head off in an attempt to push him out. Looking at him now, it was amazing to see him crawl, walk, and say his first word; I wish Arthur was here to witness all of this.Ivy gave me a critical look. "Please don't put ideas in my head. "I still don't want to have children.""That's not surprising,
