Tom We were quietly eating, I made us a scrumptious meal, it was her favorite meal she ate a little then stopped, that bothered me, she wasn’t talking like she usually does,  nor eating like she should “ something wrong with the food?” I asked her, I think she’s mad at me about the clothes, my lips twitched slightly,  she raised her head “ it’s good” she replied in a bored tone.“Why are you not eating then?” I raised an eyebrow waiting for an answer, she stood up  “ I’m full" she walked away,  I suppose back to our bedroom,  I sighed she’s stubborn and cute, my lips turned up, my daughter will definitely look like her, and hopefully she’ll be cute and stubborn like her mom, she’ll be the only thing left behind for me by her if she doesn’t make it, I want our baby to be her replica,  that will sooth my heart, I'm beginning to accept her

DevinI don’t know who keeps on making trouble for my companies, whoever it is, he’s intelligent than the people I’ve come across ever since I became a CEO, so I’m back in Johannesburg and the first person I want to see is Mercy I terribly miss her though she’s cold towards me, I trekked to her office with a big smile on my face, wondering if she had noticed my absence,  does she still care like before.I reached her office door in no time when I was about to knock I saw her chatting with a blond woman, they were both engrossed in their chart and did not see me, “ you glowing, I see the weekend getaway did you good" the blond woman teased her, “ ow you don’t want to know, but I’ll tell you anyway it was heaven, I was so relaxed and forgot about everything,  just me and Tom spending time together and you know" Mercy winked at her friend.I felt a heart-wrenching pain in my chest,  she’s ha

MercyThe past that I have buried deep within me has to be dug out and shared with my loved ones, I will as soon as my mom and brother get here to celebrate our marriage with us, I hope they won't blame me for hiding it. I was waiting for Monica to come by the office for lunch.“ have you heard?” She asked trudging to my office and closing the door behind her using her curves since her hands were holding food paper bags, I whipped my head from the papers I was dealing with to give her my attention.“head what?” I was fascinated by her appetite for gossip “ Devin exposed his mother and Glenda's deeds”  instantly I was alarmed “ relax he did not disclose your name, I have to give it to him he protected you very well this time, I didn’t know he had it on him, unfortunately, that old hag committed suicide, what an easy way out ” she snorted“she did what?” that woman value

Mercy  “ Devin” I cried out his name when I woke up, I remember him taking a bullet for me, everyone was in my ward except for him is he dead? I saw disappointment, hurt, and anger flash through Tom's eyes. “here” he stretched out his hand with a brown envelope I took it with shaking hands, he looked at me one last time before he vacated the room, everyone’s eyes were in me disapprovingly. I opened the letter /dear Mercy I’m sorry I hurt you, if I didn’t become part of your life you wouldn’t go through what you went through, I realized that I didn’t love you enough when your husband jumped in to take a bullet for you when he believed you when I didn’t, he loves you with every fiber of his bones, I am leaving for good this time hopefully I will find me another you. Love Devin/ Tears streamed down my face, Tom might have lied to me but his lies were never meant to hurt me, I stifled a sob, “ how long are you going to punis
