*1990 Remerance*

Stung by a piercing pain in her heart, graces eyes watered from the pain in her soul. The rumbling thunder of that chilly bitting night had sunk in her sobs, drowning her wailing noises through the heavy downpour of rain.

Charles walked in, heaving as his breath fell of heavily from the cold, he bore on him a child upon his arms covered in swaddling clothes, wailing profusely as one who had been deprived of care.

“Where's my son?“ Grace tossed oncemore her question with great fury which fell through her saddened lips.

    “You can't be serious ma, you knew all along and you kept calm about it” Ismael raged, pushing off his hands towards the vivid view as he screamed loudly at his mum.The sudden reality had crashed on him, that his kid brother wasn't his, the one he had once thought was adopted, made to accept was his blood now crashing on a different reality.“I can't believe this, Dan isn't related to us by blood?, then why make Ismael believe he was his brother when we already had the inception that he was adopted” Gianni spilled out her own rage, pacing through and from.

Slightly the squirming sounds of the door being opened had been heard, pulling Leo over his furthering mind back to the sound of reality.“What's her present condition ?“ Ismael queried, whilst Leo silently stood looking up in hope of something good, although his sight had clearly caught no glimpse of such a view from the doctor which stood before them.“I'm sorry, she's slipped into comma” he replied, breaking emotions which sat withing the

    “What was wrong doctor ?“ Ismael queried as he peeped through the door space, watching Alexis rise in a perfectly healthy condition. “Nothing actually” the doctor replied, giving quite an astonished answer to Ismael, whom wasn't quite sure of what he said nor meant, but decided to enquire futher “your husband has details in that concern, he promised to relay the information” he affirmed, flashing a smile upto Ismael as he intended taking a walk.“I won't make the transfer right about now” Ismael said, as the doctor walked away, pulling his phone our of his pocket.“Never mind, your husband has taken care of the bills and appreciation” the man said whilst walking away, soon exiting the premises.“Mmh, practically Leo” Ismael mumbled to himself, turning back with his phone placed back into his pocket, as he walked into the room, pushing open the locked doors.There Alexis laid with swollen eyes which sat dimmed, with her back laid upon the bed rest, and Leo having a seated position bef

    Ismael's awakening was accompanied by a symphony of low, guttural moans escaping his lips, a disoriented melody of discomfort. Flashed on by the intrusive rays of sunlight which assaulted his vision, compelling his eyelashes to clamp down, shielding his eyes from the abrupt and intense exposure. A puzzling haze enveloped his mind, and within the recesses of his consciousness, Ismael grappled with the disconcerting question, "Where am I?" Slowly, the shape of his surroundings materialized before him—a window, an armrest, the familiarity of his car. A realization dawned with the force of a revelation: he had spent the night nestled within the confines of his vehicle, parked just outside his residence."Ohh fuck," Ismael muttered softly, the detonation of a sudden headache accompanied by elusive fragments of the previous night invading his thoughts. His gaze, once sharp and alert, softened, and a tightness gripped his chest, momentarily interrupting the rhythm of his breath against a sud
