VIVI’S POINT OF VIEW.

I didn’t realize how tightly I was holding onto him until we stepped outside.

The noise of the party mixed with their whispers got drowned out once the door shut behind us.

The silence was cold, sharp like it would cut through bone. My fingers were still locked with Felix’s. I pulled away fast as I’d just remembered what I’d just done.

What I’d said…….what I’d just agreed to.

The night air hit my face, but it didn’t clear the haze in my head.

Nothing could.

  • The Wrong Wife for Mr Whitmore: Pregnant, Divorced, Reclaime   WHAT HELL LOOKS LIKE

    FELIX’S POINT OF VIEW. Raindrops hit the floor-to-ceiling length window softly, and the smell of coffee and paint filled the large sky-rise apartment. Billy and Max played with the squishy toys nearby, while I gripped the broken charcoal resting between my tattooed fingers before tossing it in the overflowing bin beside me. “Damn.” I hissed, staring at the large canvass is just been dragged a line of black ink across. The enormous crowd overlooked the gray cliffs bordering the sea. The air in England always felt different; seven years being here and it hasn’t changed. I stared at the unfinished painting in front of me, or rather, the eyes, and just like those mounted on the walls, they had the same pair of eyes. Hazel….it would never change. I ignored the tightening in my chest and grabbed another charcoal. I hated thinking; sometimes, I hated breathing. However, I couldn’t bring myself to take my soul to her. She would never want that. Seven years later, and I still couldn’t

  • The Wrong Wife for Mr Whitmore: Pregnant, Divorced, Reclaime   TWO RED THREADS SNAPPED

    GENEVIEVE’S POINT OF VIEW. The heat slapped against my face the moment I burst back inside the ballroom. If I thought the flames and the smoke before were terrible, it was nothing compared to what I stared at now. The entire ballroom was covered with thick, black smoke, so dark I could barely see anything. My lungs felt like they were on fire as I ran further inside. “Dad!!” I screamed, coughing violently as my feet stepped on crunched bottle shards. I lifted my dress higher, trying to keep from accidentally catching some of the blaze items on the ground. I ran forward, but the hem of my gown snagged on broken crystal, nearly throwing me to the floor. I ripped it free without slowing down, ignoring the fresh tear in the expensive fabric. “You!” Someone grabbed hold of my arm. Their nails dug into my skin, making me whimper. “Where did you exit from?” “W-what?” I hissed, lips wobbling in pain as his grip tightened. He looked entirely black now; the smoke had turned him into somethi

  • The Wrong Wife for Mr Whitmore: Pregnant, Divorced, Reclaime   SMOKE

    GENEVIEVE’S POINT OF VIEW.Thick, black smoke quickly enveloped the ballroom with terrifying speed, spreading across the ceiling first before sinking lower, turning the once beautiful hall to a suffocating haze. A violent cough escaped me as my lungs burned, my arm felt partially numb now, and the blood hadn’t stopped flowing.Felix glanced at me when I didn’t stop coughing. He took off his shirt and barked at Elias.“Pull it from the other end.” Elias did, the jacket ripped into two, Felix tossed the blood-stained part before handing me the clean side. “Hold this against your nose. The smoke hasn’t gotten here, so you should be able to breathe clean air for some time.”“B-but what about you?” I glanced from him to the ripped suit jacket. “I’ll be fine, as long as you’re okay.” I swallowed, my hands shaking as I took it from him and held it against my nose. The heat struck next; filing theater ballroom with a terrifying feeling.Sweet flowed from my brows as the dress I had on quick

  • The Wrong Wife for Mr Whitmore: Pregnant, Divorced, Reclaime   THE END

    GENEVIEVE’S POINT OF VIEWBANG!The explosion ripped through the ballroom. Before I could stop myself, my feet moved, pushing me from Elias’ grip as I tried to grab Felix by his back to pull him down. However, before I could manage to do it, I felt someone else pull me back.Another explosion tore through the ballroom as I stared at Elias. His eyes were as wide as mine, and I leaned against him on the bottle shard-littered floor. The sound still echoed in the hall, but all I could do was stare at him, eyes wide.“What are you doing? Why did you stop me ?” My breathing came out in frantic gasps as I trembled against him. “I-I panicked….he shot, and I was scared it would hit you.”I ignored the sudden ringing in my ears, plus the weird stinging burn on my left arm as I searched for Felix. That’s when I felt it; a body slammed onto the floor right beside mine, the tattoos that lined his neck, the dark curly hair on his head… it looked too identical to Felix.But I knew it wasn’t him.N

  • The Wrong Wife for Mr Whitmore: Pregnant, Divorced, Reclaime   EXPLOSIVE II

    GENEVIEVE’S POINT OF VIEW.My breath caught in my throat the moment the gun registered in my mind. My dad slumped in, his clothes stained and clinging to his body. Everyone in the hall scrambled, gripping their tables for dear life as my father stumbled in. He took a long drag of beer from the bottle he held close, bloodshot eyes shining with anger and grief as he raised the gun.“You….Genevieve...” he burped, words slurring. “You chose another family over your own. How could you? How much was your mother worth? Huh? How much?! What is it about that boy?” he spat. “That made you decide to give up on your mother.”“I didn’t, Dad. I—“ I took a step close, my smile finally disappeared as my heart pounded against my ribs. I didn’t need to look at the hall to understand the terror that gripped everyone. “We can talk about this, Dad… we can. I don’t do what you think.I lost my mom, too; I wish I could bring her back, too.”“If you loved her, you would never have gone to that school in the

  • The Wrong Wife for Mr Whitmore: Pregnant, Divorced, Reclaime   LIGHTS, CAMERAS, BOOM

    GENEVIEVE’S POINT OF VIEW.The moment the limousine rolled beneath the grand archway of the Whitmore Grand Pavilion, my breath caught in my throat. Thousands of golden fairy lights hung from the glass ceiling, with the enormous Venus-like stars trapped inside crystals. Marble fountains shimmered beneath the chandeliers, the size of small houses, while an orchestra played softly from the center of the ballroom. Just outside, on the red carpet, cameras flashed endlessly as reporters yelled for the attendees to stare at their cameras. My skin felt like it’d been pulled and tugged as Felix rubbed small, slow circles on the small of my back. I still see the television crew, reporters, and parents walking about. Dressed only in the very best, the wealthiest families in the state and country filled the enormous hall, in gowns and tuxedos that looked like they were worth more than a third world’s annual budget.Just weeks ago, I’d been sleeping on a hospital floor, hair all over the place
