"Momma! Please open up." Barbara could hear the little girl begging the woman on the other side, yet the woman kept laughing."What do you want? Drugs, I could give you drugs, it will make you not be Afraid of them, you shouldn't be a coward like your worthless father, he can't even fight for what he wants.""I hate you, momma.""I know, you love your grandma and that is the reason you should remain in there, it's a good thing she is not coming back, she is dead already.""What is dead?""This idiot, fine, she is not dead, now enjoy your play, I go on now, see you later.'"Momma!"The little girl called and screamed in anguish, Barbara could see herself as the little girl, she wanted to run away, escape from those cockroaches just as she too wanted to run away from the one moving on her skin now, she was terrified, scared to move, broken emotions, all those awful memories of that little girl's seems to be like she was the one experiencing it, she opened her eyes slightly then she could
Calvin was informed as soon as Dante admitted Barbara, the man sighed and looked at his Daughter helplessly on the bed, Dante's gaze didn't leave him."She had always passed out with the mere sight of that creature, I was surprised that she passed out after the creature had come in contact with her skin, she hated the sight of that creature since her mother always locked her in a room filled with..."Calvin stopped himself, then hissed badly, he felt like a failed father, he couldn't do anything for his lovely innocent child."You can leave, I will take it up from here, I will just cancel all my appointments." Dante could see that his assistant kept calling him, he must have a lot of things to do but he was struggling with his appointment and staying beside his child..."Don't worry, you can go attend your meetings, I will just stay here and wait." The doctor said she would not be up in the next four hours. Calvin looked at him, and he nodded to him."Thanks! I will return before you k
"Barbara! God, I was worried, when I heard what happened." Barbara looks at him."Yes, I called to check on you but Kathleen was the one that picked up.""Oh no! That naughty Kathleen will tease me nonstop." She facepalm, Jeffrey pushed her into a hug. "Don't worry, if she tries that I will tickle her. Barbara pulled Jeffrey's hand to sit beside her.""That means you want to kill Kathleen, you know that naughty girl doesn't like that.""Of course, I am only going to scare her with that." Barbara laughed and then hugged Jeffrey. I know you are too sweet to do that, here you should help me tie my hair in one. Jeffrey pack her hair blushing his finger a little on her neck. Hey, your hand is ticklish."Does it make you feel better?""Ahem!" Dante coughed, and Gordon moved his gaze back to the three, he had been on call since he entered the office, and he had left his meeting halfway, as soon as he heard what happened to Barbara. Gordon drops his phone, he knows Dante is dying inside alread
At the cafeteria, Calvin sips on his coffee and then looks at Dante."I am sorry! He stares more at him. "Sorry, I wasn't able to...""Stop it, you shouldn't take my daughter's words to heart, I am sure she is only teasing you, you kind of look funny when you frown, that face of yours is hilarious." Dante wiped his face with his palm. "I see the reason why my daughter is teasing you."He frowns more, Calvin looks at him, then sips on his coffee."Do you love my daughter?" Dante nodded, Calvin smiled inwardly but then his face was without expression."I am sorry." He stared more without blinking. "I am sorry for the scandal I put your daughter into, sorry that I embarrassed your family; sorry I lied to you and your family, that we are dating when we are not; I want to come back then to apologize, to stop all of them from making jest of her. I was scared, too scared to face you all, especially Barbara, I know you hate me, for putting your daughter into that.""Yes, I was mad, too mad tha
"Ha! Ha! Ha!"Those were the wicked laughter of Camille Kyle, Barbara's mother, the devil herself, she was watching the video of Barbara's torment, seeing the fear on Barbara's face when that cockroach crawled on her skin, that terrible look was the same look on that two years old girl."Ha! Ha! Ha!" She keeps laughing at Barbara, Shirley is the lady in the hoodie, whenever she visits Camille Kyle, she is always in a hoodie, two years back when she got the information about Barbara's identity, she looked for Barbara's birth mother, she promised to help her get out of jail but she have to also help her get the man, her heart long for and if she was to do so, she had to make Barbara look stupid and useless in front of Dante.So Camille Kyle suggested that they bring Barbara's past into her present, even though, she might be too young then to understand anything, she is sure, Barbara will get flashes of memories that are not clear, if those things happen to her again, Shirley at first dou
Barbara hasn't been to work for the past two days, Dante asked her to rest, but she is in the garden with Gordon, the young man, who didn't go to work, he is taking care of Barbara, even when the young lady asked him to leave her, he insisted that he is going to stay with her"Here, you should have this and these vitamins are good for you.""Come on big bro, I am fine.''"I know Lucia will have my head on a tray if she finds out, I didn't take good care of you, you know how Lucia nagged.""I will tell her, you call her nag." Gordon Titter then pushed it toward her mouth. "Thank you!" She whispered as he ran his hand through her hair."Stop thanking me, sorry that I found out so late, I wouldn't have let my baby go through that stress, I would have protected you more.""Stop it, it's not your fault and remember it's better late than never." Barbara's face darkened, and Gordon pulled her hand, placing his on hers."You should tell me, what is bothering you? Don't you trust your big bro?"
After the meal, while relaxing Shirley suggested they play a game, it's called Truth and Lies, everyone was excited to play it, and now the seven of them sit in the garden in the excitement of the game, Gordon wasn't a fan of that, but he doesn't want to be a killjoy, so he had to seat.They were shared in two groups, all males were in one group while the females were in the other group, everyone is to say, three truths about themselves and one lie that the other group will have to guess out of the four words.Barbara seems to be more tense, she keeps thinking of what to say.The game began, and Gordon was the first to stand in the middle of the group."I am handsome, wealthy; cruel and I hate revenge."All the females try to figure out, the lie. 'The lie is, you hate revenge because you are kind and not cruel." Barbara comment."I don't think, he had just one lie, it's two..." Everyone turned to Sally, whose eyes were focused on Gordon."Really?" Gordon asked."Yes, one, you are not c
It's Monday morning already, and everyone is back to work, including Barbara. Dante keeps picking and dropping the different files in his office, he is getting frustrated, and he keeps spacing out, like his mind is wandering away, Barbara is watching his movement.Yet again, he is having dark circles under his eyes, the man must be stressed probably having Insomnia."Oh! Did he work all night because he did not show up at the office for two days?" Barbara thought to herself then sighed, she felt worried that she might be part of the stress.Barbara had subconsciously stared at him, and she didn't move her eyes from him, Dante raised his head, and their eyes met. He wanted to smile but then bit his lower lips to prevent the smile from escaping his lips then used his hand to indicate that she should come over to his office, she stood up in a hurry.In a few seconds, Barbara was there. "Are you enjoying my view?" Dante asked with an expressionless face, Barbara then fired back at him."En
