Bowman sighed deeply and heavily as he wiped the tears that had been sliding down his cheeks as he shook his head, trying to get rid of the memories.

They were the only memory that Bowman doubted he would be able to forget, no matter how deteriorating his mental health might become.

“Katryn Kinkaid…” Bowman mentioned her name.

He hadn’t looked away from the inscription on her tomb since he arrived, and this was the first time he was calling her name out loud, and as he did, his heart broke and his lips quivered.

Bowman had always been a man of strength, but his only weakness had been Kinkaid’s daughter; a treasure that he couldn’t have.

A week after Bowman had returned and not bothered to reach out to Katryn, Mr. Kinkaid had passed on.

Bowman had still been dealing with the hurt of losing Katryn, added to the fact that he couldn’t get visions of their lovemaking out of his head, so much so that for that entire week, Bowman had had difficulty concentrating at work. The only thing he co

  • Whar Needs To Be Done

    The phone rang until it went into voicemail without a response. Nessy sighed in relief.She was agitated after all, but then again, being agitated and nervous about speaking to her father wouldn’t solve the problem at hand, so she knew that she needed to try again.She would not stop until she had accomplished what she wanted to do.It did not matter to Nessy whether or not Laxus broke her heart and chose someone else over her, all she knew was that he didn’t deserve to suffer on her account.Nessy’s parents both failed her when they came together in agreement and shipped her off to Gary, and she went through hell living with him and serving him, but it hadn’t been able to break Nessy. All that she had been through hadn’t been enough to change the kind of person Nessy was.She was kind, compassionate, caring, and she believed that someone else shouldn’t have to suffer for her sake, which was why she was doing this.Regardless of what had transpired between Laxus and her, the fact stil

  • First Time In Years

    Nessy settled in the small rented apartment in the outskirts of the city where she knew that she would not be found easily.She was very heavy with hurt and sadness.Thankfully, she had some money with her that provided her with the means to rent the apartment for as long as she would need it. She also had spare money that she could use to provide her basic needs before she concluded on what to do.As Nessy settled on her new bed, she curled up and allowed the tears to flow.Why wasn’t she lucky with love and family? All her life, she had had to be there for people and stay loyal to them, but they never returned the favor. From the moment she saw Laxus at Mr. Henry’s restaurant’s kitchen, she knew that she liked him and wanted to be his friend. She had to warm her way into his life, but Nessy hadn’t minded.She simply knew that Laxus was someone she wanted to get close to no matter how hard his exterior seemed.And now, she was left heartbroken.She couldn’t blame Laxus for not lovin

  • Be Careful

    Laxus was even more restless than he had thought he would be. He tried calling Nessy several times, but her cell number wasn’t connecting.Where could she have gone when he needed her the most now? “Did she say where she was going?” Laxus asked the maid.“No, sir, she didn’t,” she answered.“But why would you just let her leave without stopping her or even letting me know about it or finding out where she was going to?” Laxus asked, almost snapping at her.He was becoming really frantic.This was not the time for Nessy to have pulled this stunt on him. They had a small fight, which he did admit now that he shouldn’t have left, but that was not enough reason for her to pack up her things and leave, except she was guilty of the accusation he labeled against her.“I am just a staff worker here, sir,” the maid stated calmly. “And besides, she is not a child, Mr. Laxus, she is an adult. If she decided not to tell me, I couldn’t have forced her,” she added.Laxus realized that his tone was

  • A Disappointment

    Luther couldn’t stop thinking about the news that Linnie gave him.She was pregnant.He wanted to hit his head against the wall, but he couldn’t, so he punched the wall instead and allowed himself to suffer from the pain of it.“Damn you, Luther!” Luther cursed himself angrily.He hated himself deeply now. He shouldn’t have touched Linnie. The first time had been out of obligation, and Luther had been careful enough not to spill his seed in her. Then the second time when she had taken the initiative in his downcast state, Luther had earnestly hoped that it would yield to nothing, and he hadn’t.If he had simply controlled himself and not forced himself on her that day, it would not have resulted to pregnancy; the very thing that Luther had been avoiding since they got married. He had been enraged and embittered, and had wanted to unleash all of that on her.And now, that singular action had produced a result.“Damn you!” Luther cursed himself again.First of all, he was still dealing

  • Moved Out

    Laxus woke up feeling worse than how he had slept. He knew that after his call with Bowman, he should have gone back home, but then he had lingered, and had to deal with Linnie.Hopefully, that would never make it out to the news.Laxus slept off at the early hours of the morning, making him to wake up later than usual. He could not get enough sleep last night. In fact, he had had difficulty sleeping, because he couldn’t stop thinking about everything that had happened.He could not understand why things had to be that way for him all that time.However, Laxus felt better emotionally. Linnie’s arrival might have been what he never wanted, but Laxus realized that it was what he needed. Now, he felt as though he had been released from the emotional bondage that she had kept him in for years.He didn’t even know that he was in an emotional bondage until that very night.Maybe that was the reason why he could not give Nessy the best of himself even though she had proven before the scandal

  • Untold Damage

    Nessy woke up really early; way earlier than she had woken up in a really long time, and that was because she had had a rough night, and of course, it had been a while since she slept without Laxus’s hands wrapped around her body.She was deeply hurt.How could Laxus have treated her in that manner?Worse still, he had left the house and not returned. Nessy had been worried, but she was too hurt to call Laxus, so she had called Bowman instead.“I am worried about him, and I want to know if he is at your mansion to pass the night,” Nessy had asked.Bowman was a man that Laxus respected and Nessy could not have thought of any other place that Laxus could have done. It hurt her that instead of staying back in their home so that they could talk about what happened, he had barged out of the house.“He is not here, Nessy. He never came here after you both left,” Bowman had answered.Nessy was certain that Bowman had already heard what happened or had seen it from the news, and she wondered

  • Second Announcement

    Linnie sat there numbly, unable to move or say a word.She couldn’t even breathe.This could not be happening to her! Why did the universe always derived pleasure from taking things away from her when she was close to getting what she always wanted?Just why?“Mrs. Linnie Kinkaid?” The doctor tried to call her attention. “Are you still here?” He called some more/Linnie had to snap out of her thoughts, but even as she looked at the doctor, her eyes were dim and gloomy.“Did you hear what I just said?” The doctor asked Linnie.“I heard you,” Linnie said, and wished that she didn’t.Maybe if she had been deaf as at the time he gave her the worst news of her life, it would not have been true.Linnie and the doctor both stayed quiet for a while before Linnie cleared her throat.“What you are saying to me is that I am going to lose this pregnancy any time soon?” Linnie asked.She had to tell herself to stop acting dumb and actually take control of the situation. She had already bragged to

  • Breaking News

    “You can’t say anything?” Linnie teased Darwin as he watched her numbly.The injections they had been giving him was really turning him into a zombie, and Linnie liked it, although she would have liked it better if he could react to what she was saying.She wanted to see the anger, bitterness, and frustration in his eyes. She wanted to see him struggle and try to reach for her so that he could strangle her. She wanted to watch him in excruciating pains while he was at it.Anyway, the most important thing was that he could hear her.“I am finally carrying the Kinkaid baby,” Linnie said as she got closer to Darwin.Then she opened the result and placed it right in front of his eyes so that he could see that she wasn’t teasing or lying.“Yes, that’s it,” Linnie added.When she was certain that he had seen the result, she took it away from his face and looked at him with disgust in her eyes.“I wish you could speak, Darwin, because I honestly wanted to know what you would have to say,” Li

  • I am Pregnant

    “I am what?” Linnie had to ask again.It felt as though she couldn’t understand the words of the doctor as she stayed frozen.“You are pregnant,” he said again, louder and more clearly this time.“No, this cannot be,” Linnie said, shaking her head.Yes, she had thought of it on her way to the hospital, but she hadn’t believed it herself, because the last time she had been certain that she was pregnant, it had turned out to be food allergy.The doctor must have been lying to her.“I cannot be pregnant,” Linnie was adamant.“But you are, and the result is right here in my hand,” the doctor insisted.He gave the result to Linnie to take a look herself, but she didn’t make any attempt to collect the result from him, because she was too dazed.“Mrs. Kinkaid, I know you are shocked and out of words, but trust me, you are pregnant,” he added.“How long gone?” Linnie asked; she was still struggling to accept what he just told her.“Two weeks,” the doctor. “And a couple of days,” he added.“No
