Shelly stared at her mother, standing in front of her with her hands fisted on her waist, her face scrunched up in concern and sadness.
This was the last thing she wanted. She didn't want her mom to be sad.
"Mommy?" She called quirking her brows in a questioning manner.
"Oh good, you're finally alive," her mom snapped at her.
She pouted, "I wasn't dead before." Okay, maybe she was but not literally.
Her mom smirked at her, "Yeah, a walking zombie will be the more reasonable name."
She chuckled. She had missed this. Talking to people and not zoning off. She felt like she had been in a shell and now there were cracks in that shell.
"Mom, don't tease me," she pouted a small smile playing on her lips.
She watched her mom wipe off a stray tear that trickled down her cheeks. She stared at her concerned.

She hadn't been able to paint in a long time and when she finally does, she paints him.Fucking him!Fucking Kol was staring back at her through her painting."Wow! That's a real work of art," her mom exclaimed peeking at the painting through her shoulders."You can say that again mom," she said in a resigned voice as she stared at the painting again. She had managed to highlight every aspect of him. His full lips, his dark eyes, his pointed nose, his sharp jawline...Ugh! Get the fuck out of my head!!"Are you alright, darling?" Her mom asked concern evident in her green eyes, a frown etched on her face."I'm fine mom he just won't leave me alone!" She blurted out."Who?" Her mom asked, amusement shining in her eyes."Him!" She growled pointing to the painting.Her mom chuckled softly, "I

Chapter EightyLucinda entered the driver's seat after arguing with her daughter for almost an hour. Okay, maybe she was kidding a little bit. They just argued for a few minutes and she had won the argument even though her daughter was still pouting as she entered the passenger seat.The argument was that she couldn't drive a car in her condition. It wasn't allowed and she had refused vehemently. She wouldn't be treated as an invalid even though she was very happy with her daughter's suggestion.Ever since her daughter's sudden proclamation at the beach about the love she had for her mom, she felt her heart flutter happily in her chest. She was very happy and excited."Mom, this is very dangerous you shouldn't be pregnant and be driving," Shelly complained again.Lucinda rolled her eyes, "I'm fine besides I was the one that drove you here remember?"She blushed furiously, "I wasn't myself then mom."Lucinda patted her ch

Where's he at? Imma deal with him right now."Shelly whirled around at the voice of a child and saw the younger version of Kiara staring at her. Brunette and blue eyes, she was very beautiful."Who is this mom?" She asked her baby blue eyes shining with curiosity."Go and play with your toys, Cassie mommy is fine," she heard Kiara's voice. Her voice sounded so loving and kind towards her daughter. This was not the crazy Kiara she was used to.Hold on,

You exposed me to danger," she snapped angrily."Da–anger," Kiara chortled, "Indeed."Shelly drilled more holes in her head, "I presume you had fun at your date?"Kiara narrowed her eyes to slits, "Don't change the topic."She pouted, "But I don't wanna talk about him."Kiara giggled, "You show Kol and you claimed I exposed you to mortal danger, how is that possible?"Shelly shrugged, "I dunno he's always on and off. Like his mood swings get in the way most times and it's annoying as fuck. Each time we see each other, we always end up hurting the other so let him stay away from me."Kiara shrugged, "I think the guy is totally into you."Shelly face-palmed, "Why do you guys keep saying that?""Because it's the truth and wait&

He called not bothering to hide the surprise evident in his voice."You!" She jabbed a finger on his chest."Ow!" He winced slightly, "What have I done?"She narrowed her eyes to slits as she continued glaring at him, "If you hurt Kiara you won't leave this place alive!"Wait, what?!"Thank you for the warm welcome, may I come in now?" His voice was dripping with sarcasm as he flashed her a wide smile.She rolled her eyes then made a "hmmph" sound before opening the door wider for him to come in."Kiara, Adam is here!"

My parents are on the way so you will also meet them.""Mommy, isn't that bullying?"The tiny voice of Cassie at the doorway snapped Kiara out of her maniacally laughter."Bullying? Why would you say that?" She asked her daughter with a small smile trying to look innocent."Well, you told me that forcing someone to do something they don't want to do is bullying," she replied with a frown."Oh, but I'm not forcing your aunty to do anything," Kiara insisted.Cassie shook her head, "Nope, ask aunty Shelly nicely I'm sure she would go with you."Kiara

He was so scared he didn't notice the woman that walked in with a young boy till she tapped him softly on the shoulders."Roy Champman?"He heard the soft timid voice as he turned around and saw the face of a woman that was once beautiful except for the fact that her face had a large scar that ran from her right eye through her left cheek. She was almost blinded by the scar but somehow the scar hadn't affected her eyes.With her short black curls and brown eyes, she looked oddly familiar.

She turned the doorknob as gently as she could but found out it was locked!Mom never locks the door, she thought quietly.Shelly peered into the glass double door where the balcony was, her mom was fond of relaxing there due to her painting but when she took a closer look she saw that the balcony was empty.

She smiled so happily."Hey, honey. What's the reason for your happy voice?""The fact that you called me," he replied. She could hear the grin from his voice."Awww, you're so sweet. I miss you, come back soon okay." He promised he would be back soon and she hanged up.She massaged her temples feeling a slight headache, she dialed the staff number but remembered they were asked to go on a vacation.Sighing softly, she stood up to get the pills her doctor recommended for her from her room."Oh, look who's heavy again!"A startled scream left her mouth when she whirled around and s
