Aliyah's POVThe door pushed open before I barely had time to sit. Her face came into view, Jason's mother. The real devil's pawn.I struggled to remain calm but I had trouble catching my breath from running so much. We were so close to getting caught and if we'd been a minute late, we would have been caught. I didn't even want to imagine what would have happened then.After Caden called, Dr Mike had called us immediately. We had had to use the fastest route down here and truly, the way Kelan had expertly maneuvered the car was commendable. I had felt almost sick in the stomach at the crazy speed at which he drove earlier. But it wasn't in vain after all.I glanced at Kelan as he remained still on the bed. He sure was a pro in this kind of thing. Who knew things would turn out like this? Yeah, I was attracted to him but I never knew I was going to have sex with him so fast. And God help me, I wanted to do it again. I wanted to have him buried deep inside of me again.I didn't know why
The air in the house hung heavy with unspoken tension, a palpable discomfort that clung to every corner. I had spent too long confined within the walls of Kelan's room, surrounded by the echoes of secrets and the weight of my own choices. Today, I decided it was time to break free, to face the world beyond that suffocating space. As I stepped into the living room, a hushed silence fell over the occupants. Whispers and sidelong glances followed me like a shadow. It seemed my departure from the seclusion of Kelan's room was perceived as a sign of impending doom, and the household recoiled from my presence. Avoiding eye contact, I made my way through the living room, a ghost passing through a realm of the living. Even Priscilla, the housemaid I thought we shared some emotions glanced away as if unable to meet my gaze. The atmosphere was thick with judgment, disdain, and I felt the sting of their collective rejection. At the walkway, the tension heightened. Jason and Carey, the architects
Elsa's POV The door jerked open. Aliyah probably forgot something. I kept my eyes glued to the TV. It was my favorite show after all. "You still haven't gone Aliyah. What did you forget this time around?" I asked. I didn't receive a response so I glanced from the Tv to the door. I couldn't find anyone. I definitely heard the door open. Was it a burglar or another type of criminal who entered? My gaze darted throughout the living room but I still caught sight of no one. Fear gripped me as I stood up. Stealthily, I made my way to the kitchen where I could now hear the clattering sound of plates. Suddenly, someone pounced on me. I struggled to wriggle out of the person's grip. "Gotcha!" The voice exclaimed. I screamed in horror and I raised my hand to deliver a smack in the face of my attacker. My hand sliced through the air and halted half way as I recognized my attacker. It was Thelma. "Geez! You startled me. You are a lucky one. I would have hit you so hard that you would have pass
Kelan's POVDifferent thoughts jumbled up in my brain as I tried to strategize my next move. A son strategizing and plotting against the cunningness of his own mother and brother. But why does mom really hate me so much? What did I ever do to deserve such hatred from her?There had to be a reason for the hatred. They couldn't just hate me for who I am. I looked at the time, noting it was 4 o'clock in the evening, I dialed Caden's line. He answered on the very first ring."Good evening, boss." He greeted me and I smiled.I spoke in a quiet whisper. I couldn't let mom and Jason find out that I was finally awake. They could really be putting their ears to the door, just to hear any sound coming from this room."Caden, I need you to help me do something, real quick." I said."Sure, boss. Anything. Name it.""Can you find out more about my mom? Probably everything about her since twenty years ago till this time.""Alright, boss." Caden said and I hung up.The door jerked open and I hastily
Jason's POVAliyah had stopped giggling now. It was as if she had heard my footsteps. I should have been more careful and taken her by surprise. What was she giggling about? What was so funny that she couldn't bother to keep her voice low? Why would she even be giggling all by herself? Was she going crazy or what?It must have something to do with where she went to. Where exactly did she even go? I should've followed her, or at least sent someone to spy on her. She was really acting suspicious these days. Her audacity was on another level now.I put my ear against the door to listen for any sound. But I couldn't hear anything from inside. Could it be that Kelan had woken up? Could that be the case? Mom and I really had some work to do here. Probably hire someone who would enter the room one day and catch them unaware.I wish I could enter. I quickly retracted my hand from the door now. What if it was also infected with the disease? No! I can't put myself at risk of contracting whateve
*Jason PoV* I answered the call. "Hello, how may I help you?""Hello, sir. It's Mr Adlon from----"I quickly interrupted him. "I know. What's the problem?"I could hear him clear his throat. "Well, sir. Your personal bank account has been suspended. We wanted to be sure you made the authorization. If it wasn't you, you'll need to----"I hung up abruptly and sped up the car. I turned to face mom, my face heating up. Who gave such authorization? Who would touch my account? It had to be someone close to me, probably mom."Mom, why did you do it!?" I yelled and she shuddered slightly.She threw me a dirty look. "Do what!? How dare you yell at your mother!""Mom, I'll ask for the last time, why did you suspend my account?"She started laughing. "Is this a joke? Me? Suspend your account? Why would I do that?" Her face suddenly became serious. "I didn't know you thought that low of me."I shook my head. "No, mom. That's not what I meant. I'm so sorry.""Who could it possibly be?" I gripped
Jason's POV"What!?" Mom exclaimed.I stared at her in confusion at first, thinking about it. Then it suddenly made sense. If it was someone really pulling all the strings, then they wouldn't want to reveal their identity. Could it be-?"Thank you so much!" I muttered and quickly drove off."Are you thinking what I'm thinking?" Mom said, stirring restlessly on her seat."What are you thinking?" I asked through gritted teeth."I'm thinking it could be Aliyah. She could be trying to make a comeback at us.""Just calm down. We could still catch the bitch! The lady said she saw her not quite long, that means she can't have gotten home. If you increase your speed, we could get home before her and catch her.".I sped up the car, and as I drove through the driveway, I almost forgot to kill the car's engine before I got out of the car. I pushed the door open and went straight to Kelan's room."I'll go check her room!" Mom called behind me.When I got to the room. I had to stop and rethink my
Kelan's POVMom, Kelan and Carey entered my room. Mom strode to my bed and lifted my hand.“I'll finally get rid of your annoying face." She said.“What does she mean? They want to kill me?”She tried lifting me but couldn't. She looked at Jason and Carey. "You guys should come carry him. The bastard is as heavy as a log of wood."As Jason rounded the room, he suddenly paused as his eyes widened in horror.I knew the reason for that. I had felt a little itch on my thighs, and as I had tried to scratch at it, he caught me."Mom!" He called. "I think I moved him slightly."I opened my eyes slightly to catch mom casting him a funny glance. "Stop being paranoid. He can't recover yet. He still has about a week or so before he can wake up.""Mom, I know what I saw!" He moved towards me, making my heart skip a beat.He lifted my hands and thumped hard on my chest. I had to fight off the urge to wince with all the strength left in my body.Suddenly, he wrapped his hand around my neck tightly
