Eloise's povHonestly, I was tired of all the lies and pretense. I could not keep up with it any longer. Every minute I spend in his presence, it feels like I would explode. I think that after my relationship with Davies ends, I should stay off relationships for a while, get myself together and just focus on myself. Relationships were not worth the stress after all. What do I gain from them anyway? Men seem to always want to just take and never give back. I could fill books with refrains of awfulness to make sense of why I lived in purposeful separation, however, the truth of the matter is undeniably seriously wrecking. I slice off all streets prompting myself because of a paranoid fear of truly permitting one more to draw near to the point of harming my heart, however, eventually, I just wound up harming myself. No one ever taught me how to love right, my parents were never given the chance to. I see him up there, perfect and charming. I know I should stay but I am sick trying to
Eloise's pov I grew up, unlike other young ladies. While different young ladies were playing with their barbie dolls and imagining cosmetics, I was playing hunt in the forest with a gathering of neighborhood kids where our headquarters was a wooden post in a tree. While different young ladies were tied in with getting ready for parties, I was laying on my bed under a lamp as my grandmother made me understand books. While different young ladies were putting on cosmetics to look more normal, I was running set up in my space to a dance blend tape I made for two or three hours delivering all my pressure. While different young ladies had an enormous gathering of sweethearts, I had just a select 2 or 3 dear companions I can truly trust, act naturally around, and chuckle over nothing with. While other young ladies become inebriated after school sites during the day, I went to work and moved to graduate in a media organization going to gatherings on 36th Street in New York City, as a repo
Olivia's povHe had called me earlier today, he had wanted to see if I would love to see Willa "Would I love to see her? You ask me that like you do not know how much I want to see her every day. Boy, I want her sleeping in my bed and waking up in my arms. I want her to know no other love than mine" I said breathlessly "Well, there is no harm in asking questions," he said, calmly. This was very unlike him, I was expecting a more tense response. The other day I was vexed, I had made up my mind to go to Davies's house to make my intentions known. I had gone there, believe me, I do not know what motivated me to but I did go there. The first encounter I had was with one of the security guards attached there. "What are you doing out here, ma'am? It is rather too late to be out, do you not think so?" He asked looking directly at one of his dogs who were patiently waiting for the snap of his fingers. Only then did I realize that seeing Davies was not as easy as I thought. He had gone pa
Anonymous povEvery moment spent in Willa's presence was like hell to me, it always felt like she could see right through me. She knew me better than anyone, as far as I know, not even Davies comes close. Perhaps, I should fall in love and find myself a woman too. That has been on my mind recently, to find a companion one who makes my heart beat a little faster, one who when she is near, I would have short breaths, one who I could not live without. I have thought about it for a while and maybe, it was worth a try. If it wasn't, why would Blade put his heart in such a position again knowing full well what happened the first time he tried it? There was a problem, I had been a playboy for too long that I do not think I would be able to love or find love. Taylor's resignation came as a shock, I knew it was bound to happen sooner or later seeing her ego and pride hurt by Davies's decision, but I did not expect it to be so soon. She had too much information on me to let her just go like
Olivia's pov"Angelo, you should have just let me die""Olivia, what do you mean by that?""The night you called me, just before we arranged all of this, I had prepared and set things in order. I was going to end it all, end all of this pain, all this struggling and guilt that I have lived with all these years""Please do not do anything stupid, Olivia""Of all the things I have done in this life, leaving my daughter and thinking this would work out is the most stupid thing that I have done" "I want to apologize to you too""What for?""For being one of the many causes of your pain...""Angelo, no...""Do not interrupt me, let me finish. I knew you loved Davies yet I convinced and helped you leave. If only I had not been a catalyst, you would still have that life. Now, I again orchestrated your coming back causing you this much pain. But, it was all worth it. I get to see you smile around your daughter, now you have photos not only of her but of you and her together. I do not regret
Secretary's povI had to leave, I had to leave town. Go far away, go to where nobody knows my face, go to where nobody knows my name. If I did not run, I would be tempted to run back and try to throw myself into Gonzalez's arms. I missed the attention he showered me with and I will forever live with the guilt of being unable to love a man who was nothing but a gentleman to me. Look how I let something that good out of my hands. I will come back, better but not for him. When I do come back, I will be coming back to avenge my parents. This was the place to plan and set things in motion. With time, I am sure that he will get over me and move on, besides he had his daughter. That was something that I lacked, a loved one. Willa's povMy two weeks of "rest" had come to an end. I had to go back to see the face that I dreaded the most, Penelope's. It was even harder for me considering that I was expected to write an apology letter and submit it to her. About her? Was this not supposed to be
Olivia's povI have never seen this side of Angelo, he seemed to hide it so well, away from anyone, away from the world. Who would know that he could smile or make a woman laugh like that?Thinking of what it was that left him so heartbroken, I can only imagine. Perhaps, it is not from heartbreak, not all pain is caused by it. If it is pain, I sure do know how that feels and I know that you never recover from something like that. "Are you home now?" I asked when he called"Yes, thank you for a pleasant evening""I should be thanking you, you came out all the way here just to see me and make sure that I was okay. So, thank you" I said with an emphasis on the "thank you""I wanted to come, it was my choice. Besides, I feel partly responsible for some of the pain you are passing through""I have told you to stop saying that. And thanks to you, I was able to get rid of some of that pain""Really? How?""You do not have to know how, just know that I appreciate it""Alright""But tell me,
Gonzalez's povI kept mute, my thoughts everywhere."And I think they are after me too. I am their next victim" he said in a voice barely above a whisper"Why would you say something like that?" I inquired knowing very well why "You know, it's just all so complicated. Everything happening quickly" he lamented "It was just like yesterday when he came to me and now, he's gone. The people who took the body, they know what I was trying to do and they will come for me" he continued "You have to stay strong and fight to the end" I was trying to encourage him and push him from such negative thoughts "I am scared and know I don't have very long now. However, I need a favor from you" "No, I am way past beyond doing favors for people now. I can't especially in these dangerous times" I dismissed, I could not get involved in this "I do not want to be involved in any of the family's mess, please," I said with emphasis "How did you know it had to do with the William's family?" He asked turni
