Chapter 10
Kyrah's POV
"What?" I ask her. I clearly heard what she said but I need to hear it again.
"She's alive," Roxy says with a firm facial expression.
"You lied to me, all these years, why?"
I seriously can't continue with this conversation calmly, so I start pacing across the room, back and forth.
"Why? What was the reason? Who was that woman you and your brother lived with back then? Wasn't she your mom?" I ask.
"Olivia is my aunt. We only called her 'mom' in public," her voice is quite low that I am struggling to hear her words.
Immediately I stop in front of her and rub my temple.
"Where is your mom? Where has she been all these years? How could she leave you and your brother..." I sound angry? Well maybe I am, where in the world has Roxy's mom been? I've never heard of her at all except that she died but how is she still alive and doesn't visit Roxy?
Maybe I am overreacting. Well, I haven't heard Roxy's

Roxy's Present (POV)"That was the last time I saw her. She's now in prison. Olivia was taken to hospital and took us in after she found out that our lives at a foster home was horrible. I almost starved myself to death, the food there was pathetic and they didn't treat us well,"Kyrah looks terrified, yet that's not the entire story. Although it feels good to let it all out. I have never told anyone about my story, no one at all."Do you visit your mum?" Kyrah asks, wiping off a tear from her cheek."Yes, but she never wants to see me these days, I don't know why," I fight back tears that are threatening to fall."Since when?" she asks. I better get used to the many questions Kyrah has because I know she has alot of them to throw at me."Three years ago...""What? Why? You mean the last time you saw her was three years ago?""Yes," I sigh "When I used to go there, it got to a point where I waited for her to c

The rest of the week runs smoothly with no drama and unnecessary trouble from Sabrina.As I walk out of my hostel, I lock the door and shove the keys into my tiny clutch bag. I feel relaxed and so I decided to wear a navy blue pair of jeans, a white T-shirt, white sneakers and my favourite pair of loop earrings. I start walking down the hallway headed to Roxy's room to check on her when my phone chimes in my pocket and I fish it out. It's a text from Blake.*Hey beautiful? What are you upto today? I miss you xoxo*The loony smile forming across my face makes me wonder if I am still sane. I start typing away while walking when I bump into someone's rock hard chest. My eyes are directly facing his chest and I look up."Who's making you smile like that? You didn't even see me coming your way," Scott says, looking down at me."Oh, it's...""You don't have to tell me, it's okay. Where are you going?" he inquires."I

At the large metal gate we find four guards fully dressed in their uniforms and with guns. They look unbothered by our presence. One of them is a lady who looks like she's in her mid thirties, her facial expression shows that she's probably tired of life or her job. Or even both.Lazily she starts to speak right after removing a toothpick from her mouth."Identification please," her voice comes out rough. We show her our ID's and she takes them, placing the toothpick back in her mouth."Let them through," she yells at the guard with the keys to the gate and spits saliva on the ground. We head to the next gate which is much bigger. How many gates do they have here anyway?Roxy walks ahead of us and a guard at the second gate recognises her."Long time no see woman, where have you been?" he asks, the word 'you' coming out as 'ju'. His Spanish accent is hilarious and I bite my lip not to laugh. He leans over to hug Roxy who dodges him and

"You must be Kyrah, I've heard alot about you, you seem like a very good young lady," she says smiling at me and I smile back genuinely and move to hug her warmly, "And you are..." she looks at Scott keenly."Scott... Scott Stone," and I hear a gasp from somewhere in the room and that leaves a question mark in my mind. Why are people reacting that way towards Scott?"Oh, wow! You're a Stone alright, I see my daughter is well taken care of. Never let them get into trouble okay?" Scotts gives her a firm handshake."Yes ma'am," he nods while Roxy and I exchange confused looks."So honey, I only have ten minutes here. I missed you, how is your brother?""He's fine mom. We really miss you. How are you doing? Is everything okay?"Alicia pauses and coughs thrice before speaking. Her hands are shaking and she hides them under the table."Honey... I'm sick..." she doesn't get to finish speaking and Roxy jumps up from her chair as if it g

Right after I tuck Roxy in bed, I close her door and stand outside where Scott is. We both stay quiet for a long time with the wind blowing my hair to my face, until Scott decides to break the ice."Is she asleep?" he asks without looking at me."Yeah, I hope she'll be okay. She's just going through alot," I brush the hair off my face."What's her story? I wanna know," he looks at me with eyes full of worry."Are you sure you want to know?" I ask him and he nods."Not here though, it's quite cold outside, how about we go sit in my car?" he suggests.I agree and we walk slowly to the car and get in. As I explain every detail that Roxy told me, I feel a lump growing in my throat and I begin to sob. Scott looks shocked by the whole story and he moves closer and pulls me into a hug."Hush now," he whispers.Suddenly I remember the weird reactions at the mention of Scott's name in the prison and I ask without

The seats are white in color and I wonder if they ever get sat on because they are spotless!"Welcome to my escape room," he proudly says."That's what you call it?" I chuckle and he frowns, "Sorry, it's beautiful,""You haven't seen my best part yet," he chuckles and walks over to the glass doors and opens them carefully, revealing a large jacuzzi and my jaw drops. Never have I ever been in a jacuzzi before.I am still asking myself if we're in the same house we were in a few weeks ago, I mean, how in the world did this suite not get used that night?Oh yeah, I remember, he said it's his escape room, so he probably comes here alone.Fascinating.I down my last sip of champagne and set the flute on the glass table. Out of nowhere, Blake claps twice and I hear a voice talking to him through a speaker I guess."Anything you need Mr. Dawson?" it sounds like Carla. Blake looks at me and licks his lower lip. His eyes hav

"You look thoughtful, what's wrong?" he asks and I avoid eye contact and stare at the wall by my side."Roxy, my best friend had a bad day and I am worried about her. That's all," I sigh."Relax, you pretty young thing, she'll be okay, just breathe in and out and enjoy the moment," he grins at me.I do as instructed and once I breathe out, I repeat his exact words in a whisper more to myself than to him"Enjoy the moment," and I lean back.Out of nowhere Blake softly shouts to no one in particular."Play some Destiny's Child,""Say what now?" I ask.Immediately 'Say My Name' by Destiny's Child starts playing and I face palm myself."Oh, that. Seems like you only have to speak and everything is done for you around here," I tease.He smirks."Yeah, it's quite fun you should try it some time. Start with the music if you wish, just say which song you want,"

"Silent much," Scott says while stealing a glance at me. We've been quiet for about ten minutes in his car as he drives and I don't know what to say."Are you okay? What's up?" he asks once I fail to respond and pulls over at the road side and turns to me, then he squints."Why is part of your hair wet? Did Blake do anything bad to you? Kyrah, say something or else we'll end up sleeping right here on this spot because I am not driving until you say something," he sounds dead serious."Don't worry about it, I'm just... Well I was in his jacuzzi then mom called and then you showed up outside Blake's house, how did you even know where I was?" I ask and then my eyes narrow at him, "You didn't follow us did you?""No way! Why would I do such a thing? I was taking a walk to the donut shop and met Jim, he told me he saw you and Blake going inside Blake's house," he says."Oh," is all I can say, Jim lives close to Blake, but not too close
