CHAPTER ONEDYLANIt was yet another Monday morning, Monday mornings were the worst ever to me , well to any other person it was normal to hate Mondays, because it comes with hangovers and every other sort of lazinessI dragged myself out of my bed and headed for the shower. I had a few minutes before going to the shop.I used to work as a waiter in a certain coffee shop just a few kilometers from my house.I lazily got to the shower and proceeded with my morning routineA few minutes later I was on my way to the shop.I need bothered to take breakfast because they usually offered us free breakfast at the shop.I had my classes fixed so I only had afternoon classes and would go to the shop in the morning hours.At school I didn't get a chance to make friends considering the fact that I was from a very humble background, most of the guys in my School were from a rich background so they usually walked in pairs.
CHAPTER TWOI rushed in my house to pick some clothes before I went to see my mom at the hospital. I was already at the hospital in two hours time; it was on Thursday so I didn't mind missing the Friday class. I walked into the hospital and was directed to my mom's ward.My mom was a diabetic patient, with high blood pressure and had a brain cancer undergoing chemo therapies but she had stopped some few weeks earlierMy sisters never knew about my mom's condition only mom and I. About my dad's whereabouts no one never knew, even my mom too. I only remember the few times my dad spent with us; it was something I never thought would come to end.Before he left, he was very abusive, he used to beat up my Mom like every time he would come home late at night reeking of alcohol, at one time he never came home and that was the last never heard from him or about his presence, my two younger sisters kept asking about him but seems they got tired asking about
CHAPTER THREEMy mom's death was not only a big blow to me but my sisters too, they cried all the way back home, we didn't have a choice left with us. I had to act strong for both Melissa and Alicia they weren't supposed to see me crying it would have broken them.As we went home there was only one thing ringing in my head, the letter my mom told me about, I was wondering what was in the letter and at the same time my head was pounding, what was I going to do with both Melissa and Alicia, they were supposed to go to school, food clothing, basic needs and my school fees too. I was in my fourth year and I only had one semester before I was done with my degree, I was taking literature, my passion for books was just something else, I hoped I found someone to take care of my kid sisters so I would just finish my exams and come to stay with them at home that was my prayer before we arrived at home.It was almost in the night when we got home, I prepare something for u

CHAPTER FORTY SIX“You see I wanted to talk to you about this news about your father, my private investigator thinks that he is alive somewhere since the results are out, the ashes from your dad’s plane does not match his DNA and my doubts are that maybe he decided to death then vanish or maybe someone faked his death and maybe killed them, I really don’t understand anything and the fact that after going through all the trouble of exhuming the body only to find that the remains does not even belong to my wife, these two are somewhere else and what I don’t understand is why not say anything, it has been almost five years since all this and they have never made any contact and I don’t think that they are being held hostage after all these years, so the probability of them being alive is half, just like the probability that they might have been killed and their bodies dumped somewhere else, have you found anything in that diary that can help us
CHAPTER FORTY FIVE“I can see she is doing well, how are you Alicia? My name is Baker and I am Maeve’s father about you, how are you feeling?” Mr. Baker asked Alicia who was smiling“I’m good Mr. Baker thank you for stopping by” she said and Baker smiled, everything about her reminded him of his old friend Peterson whom his private investigator thought to be alive, according to him, Peterson might have been alive or maybe he did not die in that plane crash and that is Baker wanted to talk to Dylan and his aunt about the issue , he figured out ha maybe it was time they brought their heads together and thought about the matter or the fact that their relatives might be alive somewhere and seeing Alicia that day reminded him of Maeve while she was still young and one day when they were having dinner, Dylan father was around that day and it was a family and friends dinner night that they always did at least twice every month, Pete
CHAPTER FORTY FOUR“How are you feeling now?” Dylan asked his sister the following day as they were in the hospital, he had gone to stay with Alicia the following day and since it was on a Monday and he did not have any class, he decided to stay with his sister at the hospital will his aunt went back home to change before she could come back later at the hospital, Alicia was recuperating quite well and the doctor said he might even discharge her in three days time“I am better than okay, I just want to get out of here and go back home, I miss watching cartoons and all that and by the way where is Maeve? Or you did not come with her” she asked Dylan who was already lost in his own world, he was already lost in his own world thinking of the previous day’s occurrences, he was torn in between Maeve and Alyssa, he felt like he was already in love with Maeve but there was always that tingling he felt whenever Alyssa was around, he did not even hear
