Macy's POV
After I walked out on Oliver tonight, I didn't see him again. He probably left after our conversation.
I was hurt and insulted with how it was easy for him to tell me in the face that he will divorce me.
2 weeks later
Loise's POV
It has been 2 weeks since I helped Oliver so he could talk to Macy.
But Oliver has not mentioned anything neither did Macy.
I went to visit her and the kids 3 days ago. Apparently, her mom and dad are going on a conference trip. I was waiting for her to ask if she needed help looking after the kids but Macy being Macy, I didn't want her to feel that I was intruding with her life and her decisions. I told her that I was only a call away if she ever needed me. I needed to make sure that Macy didn't need help with the kids. I suppose she has already started working at his dad's company.
Adrian is busy as well. I think he had met someone. I've been getting a lot of "I'm busy" "not today" "raincheck" whenever I try to ask to meet him.
Right now, I am checking my emails to touch base with my team. I haven't really checked on them since I came home. After checking my emails, I will be borrowing dad's car. I missed this place and I'm bored so I'd like to go somewhere. Then, I had decided that I will drive around and go bushwalking after.
My parent has been missing the kids too. Every time I go out the door, mom would always ask if I was going to babysit the kids. Dad even bought a 7 seater SUV and 2 carseats. I feel bad for them but it's Macy's decision. She is the mother and I won't start telling her what to do. That's how our friendship has been. I give her time and she would reach out for me. That's when I know that I'm needed. But Macy can be very hard headed too. And she doesn't know how to say what she really feels.
Macy tends to always say "okay" even if it's totally not. And then when it gets hard, she will just shut herself out from whoever or whatever is upsetting her.
I was a about to get out of the house when my mom saw me.
"Elloise, where are you going? Are you picking up the kids?" My mom hopefully asked.
"Mother, for the love of god, just stop! How many times have I been asked for the same question today? We have to wait. When Macy is ready, she will reach out. Okay?"
Then I saw my mom retracting herself and her attention back to whatever she was doing.
I'm so sick of her and dad alternately asking for the same question over and over again.
I quickly went to get my dad's car keys and went to the garage.
I was surprised to see my surf board was still hanging on the wall. How long has it been since I have used it? It's been ages!
I checked the surf board to see if I could still use it. I was quiet surprise that it has been waxed and maintained well. So, I decided to go to the beach instead of bushwalking.
When I arrived at the beach, there were only a few people but there were a lot of seaguls. And there was decent waves too.
Me and Oliver used to sneak out to go surfing. I remember how scary our nanny gets everytime we got caught. Fun times!
I went home just a few minutes before sunset. Thank heavens no one has ever asked me again about the kids. Me, dad and mom ate our dinner together quietly. Then, I went to bed early as I was really tired from my little surfing trip during the day. I checked my instagram first then decided to sleep. I feel asleep straight away.
I woke up to the sound of my phone vibrating like sh*t on the bedside table.
I checked the time it was only 2 in the morning. Sh*t! It better be important!
It was an unknown number. I hesitated to answer but I picked up the phone.
Me: hello?
I could her children crying on the background.
Me: hello??? Whos this?
Mrs. Cowen: hello miss, this is Mrs. Cowen from the Snider's house. I really need your help miss.
I could hear Vivi screaming.
Me: what happened?
Mrs. Cowen: Macy locked herself inside her dad's study and I could hear something is being thrown on the wall. Please miss... I need you to come.
Macy's parents were away so it was just her, Mrs, Cowen and the twins. I ended the call quickly and got dressed.
Oliver's POV
I am still at work trying to finish this stupid paperwork that had to be redone. I hate it when people doesn't f*cking listen!
We are doing a campaign for sustainability. Sustainability has been a big issue for big companies just like mine so we try to do our bit to save the environment. Our program is about how we use our unused shipping containers into a mobile house or a little takeaway cafe or a backyard greenhouse.
I checked my wristwatch and noted thay it's really late so I'm going home and finish checking everything tomorrow.
I got up and stretched. Then I picked up my blazers and went home.
I arrived home at around 10:30. I took a shower and went straight to bed.
Then, I woke up to my phone ringing. It was Loise calling.
Me: Elloise!!! You better have a good reason for calling me this early!
Loise: I need you to come and meet me at Macy's house. It's important!
I couldn't ask why because she ended the call straight away.
Sh*t! What has happened?
I didn't think of changing my clothes so I quickly ran to the elevator and pressed the arrow down button.
F*ck! The elavator was taking time to open. I was going to use the stairs but bloody hell I'm on the penthouse! The elevator would be much quicker. I continued pressing the button.
Finally, the elevator opened and took me to the carpark.
I quickly drove to Macy's house.
Loise and I arrived almost at the same time. We knocked on the door and when it opened we saw Mrs. Cowen with Vivi crying on her one arm and Basti was also crying while holding on to her pajama bottoms.
Loise quickly grabbed Basti. And I quickly grabbed Vivi. We were still in the hallway and I quickly noticed that the house is quiet aside from the kids crying.
Mrs. Cowen said that earlier, Macy was inside the kids room and was talking to them. She heard Vivi cried then Macy came out of the room and went to her dad's study. Apparently, Reagan and Dawn went on a business trip.
Then I heard something was thrown on the wall and it shattered.
"Loise take the kids back to their room." I commanded.
I went to Reagan's study but the door is locked. Mrs. Cowen disappeared to get the keys. And while waiting for the keys, a lot of things has come to my mind. Please god not today...
Mrs. Cowen came back and gave me the key.
I opened the door.
The study was a mess. The first thing I saw was all the shattered glass on the floor. I also saw two empty bottles of Reagan's scotch. Macy must have drank them. I looked around but I couldn't find Macy. I quickly went inside the room. I didn't care if I stepped on the broken glasses.
I searched for Macy.
I found her curled up on the floor leaning on the side of the couch.
She still looked beautiful but she looked thin and broken. Her eyes were puffed. And I could see some blood on her fingers. She must have cut herself from the broken glass.
I bent down and squatted. I touched her face. I heard her groan.
"Baby..." But Macy's eyes were closed with tears still rolling down her face.
I knelt down and hugged her.
"Baby... I'm here..." Macy still didn't answer.
So, I picked her up and I took her to her bedroom. I laid her on her bed.
I went to her ensuite to get some face washers and warm water. I wet the washer with warm water first then wring out the excess. Then I used the face washer to wipe her face.
"Hmmm..." I heard her say.
I kept doing what I was doing. Macy then slightly opened her eyes then closed them again.
I stared at her for a long time.
God! How I missed her! How I missed being near her and the smell of her hair. I miss hearing her call my name. I missed my wife.
"Oliver..." Then I heard her call out my name.
