Me. Davies's povI am so glad that the kid gets to go back to school today. I had taken her to the doctor yesterday to run some tests and be sure that she was alright. Not that I was not sure, Willa had made that pretty much obvious, I just needed a doctor to confirm it. Been off work for a couple of days and I can tell you, the only thing that has helped me keep my sanity was getting to see Eloise every day. I am sure I would have died without her, I laughed at the thought of it. I could finally get my head bent over to a few documents at work today. I thought of dropping off Willa at school but decided against it. It was best that the driver took her instead, she had thrown me off balance with the questions she had asked me last night. I was not expecting her to ask such questions, she was growing I thought to myself. "Are you planning to marry her?" She had asked, and for a moment, I was speechless. I know how I love Eloise and all, but it is surprising that until Willa asked,

Mr. Davies's povI have to brace myself up, I have to brace myself up. These were the only words that I could mutter in this situation, I had to be strong for myself and Willa, I should not let this get to my head. I only had to find a way to deal with this, there are thousands of ways I could have dealt with this but I had made a promise to myself after Willa was born. I was not about to just throw that all away because of this. For the last few months, I have been getting threats, I do not know from who and I never took them seriously. I had thought whoever sent them was simply obsessed with hating me and wanting to see my downfall. Well, it is of no use now. I know I have had too many mistakes and hurt a lot of people in the past, I know this is no way near redeeming myself but I am trying to set myself free from the guilt and torment. Every day, every night, I struggle and fight. I might look fearless on the outside but inside, I was shaking. My instinct knew that somehow, al

Adam's pov"There is absolutely no way that you can threaten me. What the hell am I saying, you dare not. Yes, you dare not", I said watching her shake her head in seeming disbelief"You want us to go down that road today?""Sure, baby. I would love for us to try something new today""You would lose, honey. And I can bet already, you would be such a sore loser" "Bring it on, baby" and both laugh"That aside, how is Davies?" "Ah, I am sure he will be fine, he is strong and has had to handle a lot of terrible things, I am sure that he would get through this time""But, babe?""Yes""Tell me, what happened to Adam? He was not like this, no one would ever even dreamed of trying this before now. He was like a demi-god around here, no one messes with him""I am glad that you very carefully chose your choice of words""I do not understand, what words?""You carefully said was, the truth is that Davies never remained the same after you left, he seemed to have been broken beyond repair or so

Olivia's povMy mother, I did not know how to describe her. I like to believe that she would have been a better parent had she not married my father. I am sure that he changed her perspective on life, and made her believe in his way of things. I wonder how they give us this strict parenting and yet, their parents were barely even there for them. I do not know if it is because of that lack they feel it needs to be this hard on us. Believe me when I say that my mother would have been a better parent had she not married my father. I have seen photos of her youth, and how carefree and exciting she was. She was beautiful, young, and naive. No way she is the same woman now. This woman sacrificed so much to be with my father and if anyone should talk about sacrifices, it is her. I do not know how I would end up marrying a man like my father, cos I would not. With all of her sacrifices, I have seen that men indeed are insatiable. I wonder how my mom was able to stay and put up with it

Olivia's pov (17 years earlier)I could not contain myself any longer, I wish there was something I could do. It's just that even on days like this, my mom only keeps silent. She too knew when not to step on a tiger's tail. "Daddy, I promise, I would not do it again. Daddy, I am sorry" that was my younger brother, Anthony making promises to my dad if he would just stop the burning. Anthony was very stubborn, I am not sure if the word "stubborn" qualifies it. Unfortunately, I cannot find a more descriptive word. Anthony never listens to anyone but Dad. Dad had warned him severally to stay away from electrical appliances in the house as he was not of age to use them yet. What Anthony had with electrical appliances was like an addiction, or should I say it more than that. He was never far from where they were and would always want to try them out.The last time, it was the electrical heater and when dad found out, he had it plugged in, and made sure it was red hot before placing it o
