Martin's past.Martin sat on the swing together with his son, staring lovingly at his son. How long has it been now? It's been twelve years since he last saw his family. And it was because of his wife's selfish and thoughtless act.Mona had told him to leave the house or else she would report the case of his assault to the police station. Assault? He was the one who was being treated unjustly in his own house by the woman he called his one.Was he so blinded by love that made him ignore the red flags even though it was so glaring. Staring right at him in the face but choosing to ignore it, that's how gullible he was then. He had no other choice than to do as told, all effort to explain to his daughter that things weren't true as she sees it proved abortive. Mona had only seen the situation from her mother's side. His wife, Laura, had manipulated the kids to her own advantage, making him the bad man.How time had gone and he couldn't endure the thought of not being with his family any
He cares.Brandley sat in his lounge outside the building, enjoying the cool breeze of the night. Lost in his thoughts, it's been three days since the incident at the dining room. Mona didn't change in her attitude towards him nor did she say anything about it.Maybe she doesn't consider him as someone she could rely on. He was more afraid of her acting numb when he knew a lot might be running through her mind. He hates being caught up in her web without knowing what to do.She acts as if everything is okay with her even though it's obvious that she was just faking it. Stella had also noticed the changes in her and mentioned it to Brandley, thinking the both had unresolved issues, but he told her it wasn't about him. This is crazy, he muses.And just when he thought everything was beginning to go fine between them her father had to show up and ruin things for him. He was trying to be selfish but it's the truth.Mona had developed a habit of coming late to the house when everyone els
Good news Alex hopped into his office after receiving the news of traveling to the State from his father. His joy was new and bound. This is what he is cut out for and not office work. He felt like he was in cloud nine, he only had a day to prepare for his trip. He sat down in his office humming to himself.Mona cast a suspicious gaze at him, wondering what could have put him in such a happy mood. It's surprising that such a grumpy person knows what happiness is.She also felt different and alive. Last night didn't end up like she had expected. Her heart couldn't stop beating wildly for Brandley. She's falling deeper and deeper each day for him. Wouldn't be surprised to be hurt once the one year contract is over.Brandley hasn't confessed liking her, but the way he treated her speaks a lot. They both slept on the same bed instead of the normal routine, being cuddled by the man you love felt like heaven. She wishes daybreak never comes.He wasn't in bed when she woke up in the morning
Why don't you tell me!Alex arrived at Stark company late in the afternoon, he didn't realize the day had gone too far. He was busy with his traveling plans, seeking accommodation and booking his flight. He arranged his clothes, looked at himself in the rear mirror for the last time before heading into the company with his contract file.He marveled at the magnificent building, it reeks of money. It's nothing but a surprise that Brandley would someone end up here one day. It's a fantasy and would always remain a fantasy but then this fantasy had turned out to be a reality. A scary one, just like the village witch horror movie.Sarah, a tall and light skinned lady, Brandley's secretary called her boss to inform him of Alex's arrival and he told her to let her in.What power can do!Alex entered the office, he took his time to observe the office. Moving from one end to the other. Walking majestically around the room.Brandley didn't pay attention to him, he was engrossed in his work. He
It wasn't intentional.Mona sat glued to the couch she was sitting on in Brandley's office, her eyes roaming about the space except for Brandley's eyes. The look in his eyes gave her cold shivers. Whatever that is coming out from his mouth next won't be a good one.Maybe she should have fucking head home instead of lurking around here. She should have gone to meet Ariel instead of deciding to end up with her. Serves her right!Her eyes landed on the blue heels she was wearing, fidgeting with her fingers."Why did you do it? I trusted you enough to start working because I don't want to look commanding to you and the least you could do was to play safe," Brandley said, running a hand through his brown hair.Mona was lost at what he was saying, she didn't remember going against the moral standard at her place of work. Where's all these words coming from?"I don't understand what you are pissed at and also what you are talking about" Mona said meeting his gaze."Do you want to tell me th
Memory laneTwelve years ago.She was ten and he was five. That year was one of the best years she had lived and known when growing up as an adolescent. She has never been conscious of her surroundings like that year. She was happy, sad, grateful, loved, and recognized. Everything ended that year too. It began with her mom constantly coming late to the house. Reeking of alcohol, ruining the things that come her way. Frightening her and her brother while her father tried to shield them from her.Lucy had been a mess, instead of growing into a loving mother towards her children, she became their nightmare whenever Martin wasn't around to protect them from her.It was just an act of refreshment as she called it that developed into a habit that ruined the whole family. Lucy derived happiness from gambling and drinking herself to stupor and anytime Martin mentioned it she cursed him for making life difficult for her.Martin had tried to overlook some of her mistakes over and over again un
As martins held his phone sitting in the living room at the masters chair he was very annoyed about his wife attitude towards everything he felt ashamed and really had nothing to do about the situation he only had to look at her as she misbehaves he had caution her almost every time, but she wouldn't listen to him, she was only based on what she does that gives her joy but was ignorant that she was dying slowly inside. As he sat in the living room staring at his phone endlessly viewing and imagining the happy moments they had together the good times together with Lucy, but she is turning into a different thing each day, and he had to do something before it gets too late. “I wish my wife Lucy would come to her Senses and realize all that she is doing I don't even know if she still realized she has kids why is he doing all this I can't even stop her from drinking alcoholic drinks anyone why is she doing this I am so angry and tired of her attitude she has totally become rude and arroga
BRADLEY'S POVI kept calling her number, but she wouldn't pick up her phone. I knew she knew I was the one calling, but why is she suffering? Not only that, but I need to call her again or go find her. This is what I would do now. As I called her the phone vibrated which made me know that it was ringing. I waited for her to pick up the call, but again she didn't answer, so I decided to drop a message for her so she could read it. “Mona I know full well that you are reading this message Immediately the notification came, but it is unclear to me why you are acting this way I really need to have some discussions with you face to face but why did you choose to do this to me, I really need to see you I don't know what is troubling you, but you can share the problem with me remember that a problem shared is a problem solved so just tell me anything, and we can solve it together okay I really know that you are troubled inside, but you are not willing to open up to me, please say something
