It's been more than a month since Arah left and the emptiness is getting unbearable. But he is withstanding.

Without the clinking of utensils against the plate, defeaning silence rules. He could even hear as he chew his food.

He cooked breakfast as he usually does. But unlike before, he is eating alone. No one is across from him, sweetly smiling while devouring the food he prepared. Just an empty plate is placed where Arah used to sit. And it's been more than a month.

After breakfast, he tidies the kitchen and left it spotless. And upon entering the bathroom, he will stop at the door. For a long while, he will stare at the huge mirror where Arah used to prepare for the day, naked. The counter remained untouched, her stuff are all there. Except for the naked figure that is missing.

Heaving a sigh, he went to the shower and quietly does his morning routine. He would occasionally glance at the other side of him as he brush his teeth but it was empty.

It's been a routine and he is gett

    "Come, Arah. Dinner will be ready soon" A soft voice interrupted her thoughts and as she turns in its direction, she was met by puppy-doe eyes she is now used to seeing.A set of eyes she was so familiar with. It mirrors her own. But unlike the other, hers is filled with dispassion. Riley, a fifteen-year-old boy kept on tailing her since she arrives over a couple of months ago. His face is the male version of hers.Her mother's son. A thirteen-year difference in her age. Born a year after her mother met her new husband. For ten long years, her mother is without anyone, contrary to what her father made her believe. She didn't leave for another man. She knew it now, though she hasn't asked her. Somehow she almost collected all parts of the puzzle she needed to complete. "Mom made your favorite" an excited smile adorned the boy's face. And it's contagious."I will be right there, Riley" with a genuine one, she smiles back at the boy. "I will help dad set up the table. Come quick. I'

    "Riley and I will clean up. You go, Diane, this is the time you've been waiting for" Kevin smiles before kissing her forehead. Already teary Diane nods her head and follows Arah upstairs. Leaving Riley and his father to tidy the kitchen together with their household help, they went upstairs to Arah's room. "I'm ready to listen" her only words before she kept her silence, waiting for her to talk.At first, there was silence. The older woman was skeptical to speak but found the courage after a while. "Hate is an understatement of what you feel towards me and I understand" already teary, she started to speak. Unaware that she has been wringing her hands. Taking a deep breath, she frees her constricted breath. It gained her more confidence and she even meet Arah's calm gaze."It was a lovely love story. Me and your father. Not until he started to control me. His jealousy destroys him...it destroyed me" Diane calmly relays. "Then the physical and mental abuse started" she bitterly sm

She has been joining the family time and there were lesser awkward moments between them all. Of course with the help of Riley.With baby steps, they started to know each other. And slowly, Arah becomes more relaxed around her and Kevin. "See, I told you. You will look great in ripped jeans" Riley excitedly raves while looking at her sister coming down the stairs. Clad in ripped jeans paired with a nude color knit blouse and sneakers, she presents herself to her family. Her unbound hair is neatly styled in big curls, and it draped freely around her slim shoulders. It's been Riley who has been insisting to try different wardrobes and today she gave in to him."You look so much younger, Mara. Like a teenager" Diane agreed with a proud smile. "You could be mistaken as my girlfriend if they won't notice our resemblance. Yo

    Left to uncertainty, Diane and Kevin waited for the unknown. They don't know what to expect as they look at the clock on the wall. It's been an hour passed after her call and nothing is happening. "I need to ask for Arah's update. What's taking the doctors this long?" she suddenly stand up and headed to the door. Kevin believes the same follows behind, leaving Riley still asleep. They marched together until they reached the trauma room. And their steps slowed down upon seeing security personnel everywhere. There's a commotion inside the room where Arah was brought. And several staff were outside all looking tense and terrified. "What happened here? What about my daughter? She was inside. How is she, doctor?" Diane rushed to the doctor who talked to them earlier. The doctor stares at her for a moment, seeming to recall who she is. "The mother of the pregnant girl?

    "Who is Amara Rechner?" A question even Kevin could not answer. As Calvin waited for his response, he just stare at him in a daze. "My wife's daughter from her first marriage to an asshole neurosurgeon. But Arah is far from being like her father. She is a great woman. She is a doctor, a dermatologist to be exact. She just appeared at our door one day. Diane didn't ask her anything. We are just so happy she took the step my wife has been praying for decades. It's all enough for us. We don't care what reason she came here" he mutters at the same time thoughtful. Indeed he doesn't know his stepdaughter at all. Mulling his words, Calvin becomes thoughtful. "I ran a quick background check on her and she was linked to a certain CEO Luther Steel of Steel Corporation" Calvin stare him straight in the eyes. "A powerful family on that side of the world" he added while getting Kevin's entire interest. "And according to my intel, a highly classified one, the matriarch is the daughter of a Ma

    She feels weak and very sleepy. Her lids seem heavy to even move. All she wanted is to surrender to slumber again. However, something is persistently waking her up."You need to wake up, Arah" A faraway voice reaches her ears and it's familiar. She focuses on the voice, hoping it will help her find the strength to open her eyes. Struggling, she tries to flutter her lids. The more she does it, the more the heaviness eases."You're doing great, sweetheart. Show me those clear orbs"The voice continues until a silhouette appears in front of her. Her vision is still blurry but she succeeded in battling with respite."You had a great sleep, Arah?" She could clearly hear it now and a weak smile carve her parched lips. "Lia..." she whispers. Despite sounding rough it has an obvious excitement."Yes, sweetheart, it's me. How are you feeling? Something hurt? Uncomfortable?" Lia gently asks while leaning close to the bed to hear her weak voice. While Petrov's medical team is behind her, wa

    "You got to be kidding me" Luther mutters after another note arrives with a name and contact number. But this time it has the name of the hotel and room number."It will just keep coming" Tim chuckles while watching the irritation on Luther's face. It has been like this every night. Notes kept coming, which he kept rejecting. But the women are persistent. They are becoming bolder after knowing Luther is free again. "I can't believe I tolerated this shamelessness before" he irritatedly mutters while crumpling the note and throwing it away. It has been the fifth? Or sixth? He lost count. "It was when you still have low standards with women. Just a cunt and you're fine" Tim scoffs before sipping his drink. "I have a very high standard with women, the reason I don't do relationships. But I'm a normal man, I need release. The only woman I want has been so elusive and impossible. It took eight years before I could make a move despite already owning her. She is so stubborn but adorable" m

    Arah looks around the place that is very familiar to her. It has undergone some renovations but it's still the same place as she remembers. But she cannot understand why Tim ask at this time to talk to her. It was her wedding night and what was more surprising was when Luther let her come with his brother. Though he had a valid reason to make sure the children were settled at home before spending their wedding night away from home, something is not adding up. "What is this all about, Timmy?" chuckling, she asks the quiet man beside her. They are at the bar waiting for their drinks. "Don't overthink. I just want to spend time with my best friend.
