(Kim's Point of View)I walked into Arthur's bedroom once I received the invite. He was sitting on the bed with his torso naked and a bandage wrapped around his arm.I walked closer to him while he watched me closely. He tilted his head. "Are you alright?"I nodded, my gaze flickering to his injured arm. "I just want to ask about your arm, does it hurt? I kind of feel guilty that you got hurt because of me and Killian."He stared at me weirdly then shrugged. "It hurts a little. Can you come check it out?"I moved without thinking about his request and went to stand beside him on the bed. I studied his arm which had a little saint of blood soaking through it. I reached out to touch but immediately withdraw my hand when he flinched. "Does it hurt that much?" I questioned, worry dripping from my tone but Arthur only stared at my face as if he was mesmerized by what he was seeing. I held back a blush."Is there something on my face?" I grilled, he abruptly grabbed my wrist and yanked me
(Kim's Point of View)Loud screams were what pulled me out of my slumber. I supported myself with my elbows as I pulled myself up. My blurry and confused gaze landed on Kareen who was standing at the edge of the bed, mouth widely parted, eyes threatening to pull out of her sockets as if she was seeing a ghost in front of her.I almost dismissed her. Could she stop being so childish for once? "What?" I let out.She pointed at the bed beside me. "You-you-"I raised an eyebrow at her stammering. I decided to see what she was pointing at. My eyes widened for a quick second before realization hit me with full force.Arthur was still fast asleep. He was never a heavy sleeper, surprising he didn't wake up from Kareen's deafening screams.I nearly facepalm. What have you done Kim? A voice at the back of my head chastised me. I was desperate, and needy and had given myself entirely to Arthur who didn't even consider me a wife.The thought brought a heat of bitterness inside of me. I looked bac
(Evy's Point of View)Two years, it let like ten knowing I'd been far away from home.I almost hopped out of the car as soon as Seb killed the engine at the front of the mansion, our home but still, I couldn't encompass my elation and jumped out."Careful, baby!" Seb's voice came worriedly from the car.I instantly opened the back seat of the car where Quinn was fastened. Her silvery eyes squinted at me before she was opening her tiny arms wide."You sweet little girl, we are home!" I beamed, unbuckling the seatbelt, and took my daughter into my arms, taking her out of the car.We didn't wait for Seb who was offloading our bags from the boot as I carried Quinn into the house that had everything covered from dust."We have a lot of work, Quinn." "All we do!" Seb conceded, coming to stand beside me.*~*We spent hours laundering and putting everything in order and I could barely feel my muscle by the time we were done and after spending a day of labor, I called Diana on the second day.
(Evy's Point of View)A few days later, we were settled, I decided to take Quinn grocery shopping. I placed her inside the cart and wheeled it around.The little girl was enthusiastic as she stretched her hands toward a few snacks we passed by. I tsked and shook my head, realizing my daughter had a sweet tooth.I giggled and grabbed a few snacks into the carts and I chortle as her tiny giggles reached my ears.Next, I decided to get real food, I stopped at the vegetable section. I grabbed a lot of vegetables before moving to the bread sections, suddenly, a hooded figure was standing at the front of my cart, blocking my path.I did a quick scan of the section and realized there was no one except for us. I looked back at the figure who was hiding his face underneath his hood and then he was lifting his head.My breath caught and I immediately reached out to grab my daughter from the cart but Nate was faster as he grabbed my wrist and pressed my back against the shelf, crowding and trapp
(Evy's Point of View)When I got to the hospital, Seb was conscious, he was sitting on the hospital bed, a bandage wrapped around his head and a nurse was attending to him."Seb!" I shouted out, instantly sprinting to him and throwing my arms around him. "Oh my God, what happened to you!" I withdraw and cupped his face, making sure not to touch his bandage. Other cuts on his face were parched."I'm fine baby, it wasn't sure that bad." He resolved."I told you to come back home early didn't I?!" I chastised. "I wouldn't know what I would do if I lose you!""Hey, you won't lose me, I'm fine." He opened his arms for me and I happily strumbled into them. "It's okay." He stroked and kissed the top of my head."The police are here." The nurse informed and I rip myself from Seb's arms."The police?" I muttered, watching as two officers sauntered into the room while the nurse left."They were the ones who found me before he could finish me off."I dashingly looked back at Seb with large eyes.
(Kim's Point of View)The first time was the heat of the moment, I was overwhelmed with desire, and my body ached to be touched and be loved since it had lacked all of that for two years. I was ready to surrender all to Arthur that night, however, for the second time, I had no idea who started it or how we got lost in this thing called pleasure.I was in the kitchen, it was still early when I woke up, I almost thought no one was awake as I poured myself a glass of water, I brought the glass to my lips but suddenly choked on it when I felt a presence behind me, then a hand was running down my arm and a sniffed against my hair."Arthur!" The name passed my lips in a whisper as that familiar scent wrapped around me. "What are you doing?!" I immediately placed the glass back on the table and grabbed the edge of the counter as Arthur buried his face in the crook of my neck and wrapped his large arms around my waist from behind."You smell so good, baby!" He mumbled and I stopped myself fro
(Kim's Point of View)I got to the address Evy sent me around 10 am. It was a restaurant and I was glad it was less congested as I spotted her at the corner waving at me.I advanced, striding in unprecedentedly faster steps and when I got there, I occupied a seat on the opposite side. I took off my glasses and placed them on the table."Wow, you don't look too good," Evy observed.I bobbed. "You look great too." I exhibited a taut smile. She looked tensed, I could also see furrows at the top of her forehead and her eyes were ruddy and tender as if she has been crying. "Yeah, you're right. You are an industrious woman and I will not want to take much of your time." She began. "Your child was taken a few days ago I heard."Again I nodded. "Your ex-husband is a maniac and he's getting out of control but my son is fine and I'm glad you called me out. I want to believe no one knows we are meeting today?"She instantly shook her head. "No one does. Seb had a car mishap last night."My eyes
(Kim's Point of View)It was on a Friday, 2noon when Evy and I decided to visit the chief of police."Please sit." He motioned toward the empty chairs on the opposite side of the table. Evy and I sat down."What brings you here, Mrs. Rodriguez and Mrs. Evans," His gaze flickered between us."Just call me Evelyn," Evy chimed."And Kim would also be fine, Chief." I also added."Alright then, Mrs. Kim and Mrs. Evelyn." He acknowledged with a nod. "So, what bring you two ladies to my office?""We are here for Nate." I began. "The bastard is getting out of hand and we will like to know what you're doing about it?" My gaze was overhauled on his face and his flicked eyes between us again, a judging gleam in his eyes."Where are your husbands?" He polled.I rolled my eyes. "Aren't we enough?"He snickered nervously. "Mrs. Rodriguez-I mean Mrs. Kim, this is a serious subject and if we are going to discuss it, I'd like your husbands to be present as well.""Her husband was ambushed and is still
