Tom's povWhen I went to the market with Mercy a few days ago, I heard the villagers jabbering about Mercy's past, they were shaming her in their native language.We could hear their whispers though they were talking in hush tones, Mercy's mood dampened immediately.She disappeared after he and his family shamed her, he made her a laughing stock of the village.He broke her, but I'm glad he did because she's mine now, and I want the whole world to know that she's mine. I secretly bought an engagement ring for her, today I'm going to propose to her to prove these villagers wrong, she's a Diamond.I tightened my grip on her, activating my protective as possessiveness, the villagers throw dirty looks on us, and I gave them my cold look.I don't want my woman to be treated like trash, she's my queen the mother of my children, the woman I won't think twice to lay my life down for. I can tell by her gaze, her soft laugher, her sweet smile, h

Tom's povI love Mercy a lot, it hurts that she is in denial but we all know tat she needs help, I have tried the best that I can to show her that I love her, for Christ's sake, I delivered my heart in a silverplate but she doesn't seem to care.I'm running out of ideas, there's only one person that can help me now,I fished out my phone in my back jeans pocket and called Grace, 15 minuetes tops, she's now approaching the bar counter where I have bee sitting for half an hour."this better be good, I had to cancel my appointments with my clients" Grace cringed when she met Tom's deadly glare. "Okay I take thar back my clients can wait, that look can paralyze a person, what's eating you?" She sat down signaling the smitten bartender over to her. I snarled when the bartender did not respond to Grace,  she's rather busy gawking at me.  She looked down in embarrassment, Grace chuckled "okay, what's wrong, with your looks I'm sure this happens daily

Mercy's POVI stirred in my sleep feeling like someone hit my head with a break, my body felt numb, inhaling the most awful smell ever and a very irritating beep sound that made my head hurt worse than it did when I regain my consciousness, peeling my eyes open a bright light glared right at me, the lights in the room blinded me for a second I closed my eyes swiftly and opened them again this time slowly adjusting to the bright light.I don't remember climbing the bed, I only remember taking my anxiety pills, anti depress they did not help and I resorted to sleeping pills, they did not knock me out for 2 hours I might have taken a lot but I needed the voices in my head to shut down, who could've helped me to bed?.Beep! beep! The noise brought me back to reality I gazed at the white ceiling which does not look like the one I am used to, I tried to wake up to scout where I am and what's causing this unbearable noise, my arm hurt, I looked at it, my eyes widen when I

MERCY Days passed like a fog, going to work,  meeting with my therapist after work and go ling home to sleep, Grace visits every now and then, nothing excites me and nothing agitates me, I am at peace, I call Tom's number every night just to hear his voice, I don't think he will switch his phone on ever again, he probably changed his numbers.It's been 6weeks since he left,and I am still staying in his apartment hoping that he will return someday, he did not try to contact me and I don't blame him, today is Friday and I'm patiently waiting for my therapist in her office she is running late, I don't blame her though the woman has practically put her personal life on hold for me, for 5 good weeks, today she went to watch her eleven years old son's football game. I never had the leisure to study her office because I was always anxious and nervous,  thinking that she will judge me,  instead of that she has been nothing but a sweet darling Dr.

Divine’s POV I have been out of my mind for the past few months,  it’s hard to believe when the one person you trusted the most with your life becomes the same person to cause you misery, my mother destroyed me, she made me believe that the love of my life is nothing but an evil scheming woman when she was and still is the devil herself and her chosen daughter-in-law. She made me doubt my judgment and hurt the woman I ever loved and that genuinely loved me for who I am not what I have, thinking of the things I have made her go through my heartaches,  I should have been more careful and used my head instead I felt betrayed and used by her, I don’t know how she is going to react towards me but I sure damn know that she despises me and I don’t blame her for that, all I want is to rewrite my error and rectify my mother’s evil ways, I will stop at nothing to have her back. My thoughts drifted to our happy days where Mercy and I were genuinely happy regar
