Chapter 3;Some years later,Dark. Cold. Shrill, that was exactly the way to describe the current atmosphere.Running. Heavy stumping on the bare sand. Emily lifted her gown, as she ran, barefooted as she was. She avoided the twines and fiddled leaves that sputtered on the floor. Her face was damp with sweat, with no time to wipe it away, she kept running, without daring to look back."Stop there!" A hazy voice was heard, and Emily's heart leapt, but still she kept running, without daring to gaze at the monster who flooded her."Please don't kill me." She kept running through the bushes, a tear forming between her eye lids.Apparently, she failed to notice the twig, and she fell down, her bare leg screeching with the thorn.She whimpered in pain, as she gazed at her leg, fresh blood oozed out freely, she tilted her head in horror as she stared at the figure, who was the main reason for her deep injury.It was her mother, Alexis, wearing a damp gown, the same gown she wore at the ball,
Some weeks later.Riverdale Graduation day. The large banner read. The atmosphere bubbled with anticipated joy, as students, dressed in their graduation attire and the cap that hung loosely around their heads.Parents chatted happily, clinking of glasses, tapping of feeds, clicks of photos, it was all great.In one corner of the party, Nikky tries to balance his hat, as he struggled with the handle, though, He did it Cooley, incase girls looked his way, he winked a seductive smile.Arya walked up to him, her hair slipping towards her next, and her high heels clinking to the floor, holding her hat, she dazzled at Nikky. "We did it, Nikky!" She squished him into a hug, a hearty hug.His hands moved towards her lips, a smile on his face. "It's so fun when there's food around."She smacked his shoulder. "Where are the others anyways?""My mother is forcing Emily and Niccy to take pictures, Ethan is busy seducing some girls, and Emma is busy playing some games on her phone. So yeah, that's
Three weeks later,Nova walked towards the counter and twitched the button of the coffee maker upward, causing it to bubble slightly, she switched it off after five seconds as her cup was filled with black coffee. Sugar, she muttered to herself, opening the counter taking out a jar of white plain sugar.She added a few teaspoon to the coffee and smiled to her self, picking up the cup.Her eyes glanced at the wall clock,her lips twitching upward. Five, she counted.Four, three, two, one.The door chimed opened immediately, followed by Damien in his school bag, with Colin trailing behind him, and one Hazel and Sabrina."They must really be close." She thought to herself, dropping the cup of coffee back to the counter and then making her way out of the kitchen and down to the living room, in which she found them relaxed on the sofa."How was school?" She asked, her hands folded together."It was fine. Aunt Nova," It was heard from a couples of mouths.She gazed at them lovingly, Aunt Nov
Years later,As soon as the coffee maker beeped, Natasha carried the two cups of coffee before adding a tiny bit of milk and some drops of sugars. Then, she carried the cups of coffee down to the living room. Alec sat on the couch, his hands fiddling with his phone, he stared up at his wife. A slight smile on his face.She gave him a cup, and snuggled up in the couch next to him. "It's so empty nowadays." She sighed heavily."And, why is that?" Alec raised his brows; yawning lazily."I miss the kids." She squished her face, ever since they left for college, the house had been empty, there had been no sound of Nikky's greedy chewing, none, Niccy's peaceful noise of sleeping, or Emily, trying to practice her singing.It was blank. Empty.Alec let out a gentle laugh. "Don't stress it. The kids are writing their finals and they will be back, we are celebrating their 20th birthday soon." He swiped his thumb at the current news, and crease his forehead, was it just him or the business indu
Blaring of music, sweet, yet calm music, soft tunes. It added a calm expression to the whole atmosphere. "Mother." Niccy walked to her mother, gently nudging her in the shoulders, it had took a lot of convincing to be able to host their 20th party in the house, with only a few friends present, even though her mother had wanted to make their birthday memorable. "Yes dear?" She turned to look at her twenty year old daughter, who was dressed in a light floral pink gown, with flat heels, on her twentieth birthday."Thank you mother." She meant it, her eyes glistening with love.Natasha smiled at her daughter. "It's nothing, you wanted it, and I just wanted to make you feel comfortable," She embraced her daughter. Niccy smiled lightly, before making way to where her brother was, Nikky was busy chattering with Arya, trying to display a few tricks, with his birthday cap on. She gazed at her. "You are twenty, yet you wear a hat for your birthday?" She shook her head, expressing her disappo

One year later,Thanksgiving day.The room smelt like any other thanksgiving room, roasted turkey, cream, salad and a bunch of people sipping wine. The dinner was about to start, and soon everyone was going to be saying what they were thankful for.Zoey recounted, she didn't even know where to begin, just one year ago, her life had changed ever so much. Perfectly well, it had gone along.Dexter came into her life, Rafael stumbled in, and oh, she didn't know how, but they both loved her daughter so much, well. Zara better get used to having two overprotective fathers.Miranda, Stella and Zoey have become quite the inseparable trio, having tea on Mondays, hitting the gyms, and gossiping about their husbands.Presently, Zoey was sprawled on the bed, her hands swiping through her phone, just waiting for it to be ringing, finally it chimed. She swiped it up immediately."Stella!" She beams, cheeks pink. "How's the baby moon going? Is Mexico alright?"Stella's voice sounded so angelic from
Two Months later."Zoey hurry! We don't want to be late for Sky's concert. Do we?" Stella yells from the bedroom, her gaze directed at the dressing room."Coming! Just trying to get the zipper on, damn, it's too hard!" Zoey yells back.Stella takes in a little giggle, and stares outside the room, the view is perfect, she could see the sun set even from here. She was having a giddy feeling today, but it didn't sum up her excitement.Today was Sky's first concert after his music block has been overcomed and he was singing his new song. People are flooding all over Los Angeles just to hear his voice, She, Zoey and the rest already got their tickets. She couldn't wait to see him sing after his music block. Excitement is washing over her. She can't wait.Zara enters the room, a smile on her face. "Aunt Stella!" She throws herself towards her."How was your night? Little Pumpkin?" Stella nudges her hair playfully, her hands moving to tickle her."It's fine." Zara scrunched her nose, before
Even though one week had passed and everything seemed to be moving well, Zoey still felt this urge: sinking and swimming through her, prompting her to see her mother in jail, so that's why early in the morning, she got into her Sedan and drove towards the lane."What do you want?" The receptionist barked at her, her face gruff, prison was not a good place, no doubt. It smelt of stale coffee, the place looks rugged, like criminals had been jacked into this place, struggling to get inside."I want to see my mother." Zoey made to speak again, but the angry looking woman waved her off."Sorry. Kid." The woman puffed her cigar in between her hands, "But visiting hours are over, if you would please return later, I am sure you would be entertained with whoever you want to meet."The woman is really rude, no doubt, but Zoey doesn't want to leave without seeing her mother. Sometimes, your name is very important, and if using that name would get her what she wants. Then, why the heck not?She
The whole room felt so small as Zoey ran past them, it was like oxygen was racking her spine as she counted the rooms. Her breath was short-lived, she could only pray under her breath."Zara!" She calls out, fear evident in her voice, the pain of losing her own daughter sends tears to her eyes. The hall was stretched out, too many rooms. The stairs looking back at her.She stopped at the living room, she could feel the throbbing in her head."Zara! Please come out. Please." She just stood there rooted, it was like the alarm was buzzing in her head: countdown, five, four..Sweat clanged the corner of her hair, she checked her father's study, it looked rather untouched. Her father's favorite novel, 'Rich man, poor man,' sat there elegantly on the table. Hope. It needled through her, then vanished into thin air. She called again, this time more loudly, perhaps her daughter might hear her. "Zara!" The room was eerily quiet.With lost hope, she just stood there, she would rather blow with
The next day came rather too quickly, and like her mother used to say when she was young: You just have to face it.So, when she sprang up from the bed, she kissed Dexter on the forehead gently before heading downstairs. Rafael was by the counter making cereal for her daughter while balancing a cup of coffee on one hand."Ready for the big day, huh?" He hands her a cup, while gently pouring the milk into the bowl, Zara watches with her eyes fluttering."It's funny how you made it sound so casual." Zoey says casually, everything has been planned, they are all meeting up in her father's house. Nova, her husband, Alec and his wife, Stella and Sky. Miranda was going to meet them there.Zara shoves her spoon into the bowl, her mouth full of corn flakes. "Mother. Can I come with you? Pretty please?""Yes. Dexter and I will get the car ready, why don't Rafael pick out your dress, okay sweetheart?"She nods and focuses on her food, just by staring at her daughter makes her heart swell, the on
In life, you could be either lucky or unlucky, but there's no such thing as luck or not luck, it's the chance we have, it's the choice we get that defines us, not our luck, that's why as Lin sat down, fiddling with the hemline of her gown, she recalled all the choices she had got to make, and one of them dealt with forgiving her husband, Asher.He was only being threatened, he just wanted to protect her. He loves her, that's why he wanted to protect, because for the person you love, you could go through extreme lengths just to make sure they were safe."Lin? Lin, are you listening to me?" Asher said, clutching the cup of coffee in one hand.She snapped out of her daydream, before staring around, waiting. What was he saying? She didn't even hear a thing."I was saying whether we should take the kids to Disneyland this year?" That was one thing she would always love about him, his ability to remember anything."But Mommy, we went to Disneyland last year!" Her seven year old daughter wai
Stella had imagined countless things in her life, but here she was. Seating opposite her parents with Sky by her side, this time. She wasn't scared, hope brimmed in her chest, because with him she felt strong, she felt like somebody."You want to date him?" Her mother said, under those lashes of hers, her words held some kind of deep warning, "What about Doctor Rodriguez?"Her father dropped the spoon on the plate, the metallic sound filling their eyes. "Stella dear. You can't go out with him. He's not for-""I didn't come here for your approval." Her tone sent them all warning, Sky placed his hand on her shoulder, his gaze, a reassuring one. He turned towards her parents."I am Sky. Well, I dated your daughter, until you threatened me to leave her, I fell in love with her, again. I fell hard, I am still falling for her. She makes me, she completes me. I love her so much."Neither of them blinked."And I am sorry, but you can't stand in the way of our love," He breathed in, "She helpe
Loud chattering filled the room, kids chasing each other, muttering words under their breath, some kids sprawled on the neat blue rug, playing with their toys.The kitchen linked to the living room, some adults were leaning against the island, each gripping a glass of wine. There's some muttering, no laughter here, just clear talking.Relax. Zoey's head throbbed, but she just couldn't. Dexter's hand was placed on hers, it was warm, at least that made her calm down a little, but still. She wanted to sprang up the seat, and protect those she loved, her mind reeled. To her mother's word, to Lin's words.Thankfully, Zara was talking to her cousin 'Damien', they seemed to be arguing though, but hey, it was her daughter."Everybody." Natasha clicked the glass, the whole room went silent. The kids stopped and turned to look at her, immediately she received the call, she didn't know what prompted her to call Natasha, Natasha was soothing on the other end, and they agreed to call a meeting.Li
