The room was filled with tense people. And I could barely hear Joseph breathing despite sitting next to him now. He needed me and I moved from where I was sitting with Maria and Angel.Roland and Vykalia just kept looking at us and then at each other. I was hoping they had a good explanation. I was hoping what they did was for the betterment of both Joseph and the boy, and not me.Because one way or the other, that will keep me from Joseph. He might not want to admit it, but if Roland and Vykalia took his son because they wanted to keep me safe, or anything to do with me in any way, then it was equally bad for me as it would be for them.“Roland, this is where you spill the beans about his son’s whereabouts. Why did you take the boy there in the first place? You knew he would be more than capable of taking care of that child, then why take him from him? You saved the boy from his mother and that is good, but taking him from his father was a bad move, Roland,” I said as I rubbed my han
For the past hour, I sat on the balcony trying to overcome what I was thinking. And I think Maria also knew that this was not going well for me because she didn’t come to talk to me or even call me. She understood what I was going through as always, and I loved her for that.I don’t know why this was so hard on me. I don’t know why him leaving was affecting me so much. Maybe my heart needed him more than I thought. I didn’t like what he did. I hated the fact that he and the whole team kept things from me. But I never thought of chasing him out of the house. That thought has never crossed my mind. And now I have no idea where they were and what they were doing. And I know my decision might have really sucked for him. Because he considered me as a son and because of my friend. But again, it was something I needed to do. Not only for him, but for his son.What Roland and Vykalia did wasn’t good at all. This time, I think they went too far. You can’t keep a son from his father. That is ju
I walked inside and found him looking outside the window as he usually does whenever something is bothering him. I didn’t even know what to tell him, so I just walked over and sat next to him.And then after a few minutes he turned to me with tears in his eyes, without saying anything, he hugged me and screamed. Not caring about anyone hearing.And just patted his back because I understood him. I knew how he felt. He would have had the chance to be with his son. He thought the boy, and the mother died. He cried for them and he has been crying ever since.“Justine, my boy is alive,” he said, and let me go.“I know, brother. He will be home soon, okay? And then you can teach him everything he ever thought of teaching your son,” I told him.“I know. I can’t wait. But what time do you think Roland is likely to bring him here?” He asked, looking worried.“I know Roland can be a bit too much when it comes to just doing what he thinks is right. I know he can get out of the way, but in his st
Well, let’s just say I was failing my family. I was supposed to look out for them. To make sure we stay together no matter what. That is what my parents wanted to achieve. That is what my parents intended for me to have.But slowly I was losing that. Well, you can say part of it was because of the same people they allowed in my life. Because of who they brought in my life, I was here today. But also because I was trying to make things right. To listen to what they all said to me and not what my heart felt. Because when I chased Roland and Vykalia out of the house, I never wanted to do that. What I wanted to do was to make Joseph and Roland talk things out. Yes, he was going to be upset, and that I understood. But I never intended for him to go to the extremes of leaving the house because he couldn’t stand Roland. I never wanted that, and it hurt to know it has reached that far.And now he is not even talking to me and has left the house. My whole family was everywhere, and I was scare
“Roland, the only reason we are here is because you kept his son from him. Because you and Vykalia decided to keep his son from him without him, knowing the boy was still alive. And that is why you and her are staying somewhere else. And here you are telling me this concerns the boy, what the hell is wrong with you?” I asked, pacing up and down in his bedroom.So, after all that happened and then we all said sorry to each other and apologized, he is here telling me that he had something about Jeremiah. Like what the hell was wrong with this guy?“And for the record, you still haven’t explained to me why you thought it necessary to keep Suzan hidden and not tell me about it. I had the right to know about her and her existence. If the reason you kept her there was because of me, then you should have told me. You guys make it very difficult to love you and under you at times. Because I really don’t understand anything you do,” I added, and stopped pacing at last.He just sat there lookin
I walked into the house. Not knowing what I was going to find. But only relying on what my friend told him. I didn’t want to believe it, but just to get him off his back, I needed to prove to him that what he was saying was not the truth. There was no way my wife could be sleeping with one of my friends. That was not possible, and I wasn’t going to allow him to keep saying that about my wife. She was loving and caring. Always making sure I’m happy. Welcoming me every day at home with a charming smile and embrace. That woman I married would never cheat on me. There was no way. The living room was quiet. Nothing about it set me off. But I made sure my presence wasn’t sensed and noticed. I walked as slowly and quietly as I could. I checked the kitchen and all the rooms downstairs, but I saw nothing. She was nowhere to be seen, and she had mentioned nothing about leaving the house. She was from a wealthy family and she never went to work that much – been the daughter of the owner of t
I was left heartbroken. I didn’t know what to do or what to say. She was right about the whole thing. Yes, I was a hard-working person, but I only received the position at the company because of her father. Because I married his daughter. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been where I was.So, all this time, she never loved me or she just stopped loving me and started sleeping with my friend. All because he was rich like her and she thought I couldn’t support her.I sat on the bench at the park, people walking and children playing. I had nowhere to go. The only home I was leaving in belonged to her family. And at the moment, I just didn’t want to deal with anyone. I couldn’t even go to Joseph because the bastard will tell me he was right about not trusting Pit. And I will have to relive everything, explain them to him.After a while, rain began pulling on me. And that was the only reason I decided to visit my in-laws. Maybe they can help. They showed me kindness than anyone else has.I walked
I sat in the living room inside my parents’ house. They stayed a bit out of town with only a few neighbors around. After the barrier, I did not know what to do or go. But it was not like I had even where to go. The past few days have been filled with nothing but pain. I was trying too hard to understand why this was happening to me.First, my wife cheats on me with the person I thought was a friend. Then my in-laws allow the affair their daughter was having because it was with the son of the person they were in partnership with. Then me receiving a call only to find out my parents were dead.So, I was trying to digest it all. To get my head wrapped around everything. As much as I was in pain, I needed to get a job in order for me to eat something and buy clothing.“Justine, you need to eat something or you will be sick before we know it. I know you have had a rough week, but you just saying and refusing to eat aren’t helping anyone here,” Mateo spoke.He was a friend of my parents. And
