Sophie had been stuck with the thought that Jim was cheating on her ever since she said it out loud. She didn't want to believe it but she couldn't help herself; all she wanted to do was confirm if it was true or not. She was getting dressed for a formal hangout with her colleagues when a ding came in through her phone indicating she had a text. She checked it and it was from Jim.Wear something beautiful and fancy, I'll pick you up in 20 minutes ❤️Jim knew he hadn't been giving her enough attention but that's because of his job being demanding for the past couple of days. He planned this outing since he hadn't taken her out in a long time. He knew she was upset about the whole work thing and him not having time for her so he decided to take her ass to dinner."Babe", he called out. She was in the bathroom doing her hair. Women and that shit though. She walked out of the bathroom with an annoyed expression, her right hand on her wa

49I wasn't completely fine yet, I still felt random pains and this time it wasn't from an unidentifiable area of my body; it was from the gunshot wound on my shoulder. I wasn't completely fine yet, I was just healthy enough to be discharged on supervision and by supervision, the doctor meant having a carer by my side in case of any emergencies. But in this case, supervision meant Jade, Grey and my grandfather keeping their eagle eyes on me all the time which was a bit funny but annoying as fuck.I had also been stalling the meeting with Belle Henley a lot because I wasn't exactly fully ready to meet my donor yet; even though I wanted to. I re

51"Eve, please listen to me, it's not what you're thinking, I can explain, I promise you Eve, it isn't what it looks like." The regular words a betrayer and a cheater says when they get caught. I never imagined or pictured myself hearing those words in my entire life, ever. I wondered to myself why anyone would want to cheat on me. I mean, I knew for a fact that I didn't do anything wrong and we were fine in the relationship so what could've been the cause?"Eve, please li-listen, I'm sorry you had to see that." Grey stuttered again. He wasn't even sorry he cheated, he was sorry I caught him cheating, he was sorry I had to see him cheating with my best friend. Such an annoying human. Right then, my blood began to boil as my body and my mind finally settled on what to feel. Rage.I shut my eyes tightly and reopened them as I glared at him attempting to close in on me while Jade just stoo

53"Look at this, I call it the depth. I made it for you." The kid smiled excitedly as he nudged me with the edge of the painting.His happiness was something everyone wanted. Such a happy child; happiness isn't easy to come by but we can find our own happiness in the most random and little things. We find happiness by first letting go of whatever saddens or depresses us, whatever or whoever it may be. And that gave me an idea. "Tell me what you think, come on. Do you like it?" Rodney asked skeptically. I bent my head to the side, looking at the painting closely."Are you just stalling because you don't know what to say?" He asked with a bored expression on his face. Well, no, I definitely wasn't. "it's okay, my mom does it all the time. After all, not everyone can appreciate good art, not even if it hit them in the face." He shrugged.Ouch. "Well, no, I wasn't stalling

55"Then we moved down to Las Vegas and my parents decided to settle down here, not complaining though." I rolled my eyes at the direction of my parents before continuing. "Not complaining about how we had to move away from there all the way down to this town when I had just started getting comfortable making friends and I had just learned the address." I scoffed in annoyance."It happens. I also recently had to move out of my previous apartment because– wait for it, because of a rat infestation." No way."Shut up, you're joking." I chuckled, waiting for her to laugh along and tell me it was a lie."Nope. I'm damn serious. It started out with about two rats and then, boom, just like it happened in the movie ratatouille, I had a house of rats." I didn't even let her finish as I bursted out laughing."Oh my goodness." I said in between fits of laughter."No, sto
