Chapter 28.Continuation on the last chapter"Are you okay?" Edward asked, but this time he didn't want to go near her, so she didn't get aggressive and get injured after. "Yes, I'm fine." She said and she stood up and went into her room. After a while, Edward follows after. "I'd you need anything, just call me." He said as he stood in front of her door. "I'll be waiting." He said before walking a distance away from her room. "No." She shouted after him.and he just chuckled at the character he married. The song on his phone which was on repeat was suddenly interrupted with a phone call. "Hello." Edward said as he picked up the phone. "What do you mean you got stuck on the road?" He asked in an aggressive tone. "My wife is sick and you are telling me that an accident happened and there is a road jam. Can't you find a better route or a different one?" Edward shouted with impatience dripping from his voice. He paused for a moment to listen to what the doctor was sayin, but he s
Chapter 29. just when she thought she could get her rest, she heard the sound of her phone ring. *Whoever it is can always call back.* She thought, but the person called back almost immediately and Ashe had no choice but to go get her phone. With a groan, she pushed the covers off before stepping on the cold floor. She was wearing thick woollen socks crotcheted by sister Hannah. It was one of her priceless possessions. She didn't feel much cold walking towards the door considering the fact that she had closed her windows and dropped the curtains. And her bed cover was also wrapped around her.With no memories of how she got inside the house from the car of what she had seen or even the fact that she had passed out earlier, she dragged the covers over her head like a cape and made her way to the living room. She didn't feel as much headache or cold either, but her body temperature was still hot enough to raise room temperature water to boiling point. Her phone started ringing
Chapter 30Continuation on the last chapter"Yes." Cindy and Andrea realized that they had the sameMonthly cycle since the time Andrea was left behind when the Brown's family went on a family trip without her. So she spent the two weeks with Cindy who had to cancel her plans to stay with her sick friend. Because Andrea had fallen sick for the next four days. That was how Cindy got to know how tedious it was to take care of Andrea whenever she was sick. "And,..." Cindy paused before continuing, "you're sick too right?" She asked. Andrea nodded as she replied another yes. Her nose was watery and she had no choice but to use the back of her palm to wipe it. She couldn't stress going back to her room for some tissue paper or handkerchief. "I just got back to the country and I'm coming over right now. Are you at the Brown's family home or at the orphanage?" Cindy asked with so much urgency in her voice. And even though Andrea didn't feel the need for her to panic just yet, she kn
Chapter 31.Continuation on the last chapter"Who is on the phone?" He asked and Cindy replied."Her friend, who are you?" She asked and Edward immediately let out a breath he didn't know he was holding. He didn't know how he would have reacted if it turned out to be a man. "Her husband, bye." He said and hung up with a sigh which was something he did for the next four days. Andrea had more than just mood swings and body pains, she was a pain in his ass too. But he got to know more about her and if anything, he felt like she had developed a sense of dependency towards him. He had to tell her bedtime stories to sleep because if otherwise he wouldn't be able to sleep himself. She was either crying or whimpering at night and he felt it was his responsibility as her husband.So when Leonard came visiting the previous day and asked what it meant for them, his answer was different.Rather than the usual, "we will divorce after six months", he told him that they were just going to watc
Chapter 32.Continuation on the last chapterBut now that he understood her reasons, he was willing to understand more and hope she understood him too. Edward retied his masquerade mask and made his way out of the house to his Toyota Camry. *I need to get to her in ten minutes no matter what.* He told himself as he dropped his phone because him and started the car. The revving if the car didn't sound like a usual Toyota Camry and anyone who was a car fanatics would be able to name the engine. Edward because of his love for cars and their engine had a popular car's engine and interiors remodified to fit his taste. So even though the exterior was a Toyota Camry, the engine and speed was more or less like a muscle car. Edward knew that it would take him just ten to eleven minutes if he used ten percent of the car's capacity, but he gave her a twenty minutes distance which was the standard time he would spend to get to where she was. That way, he would make her relived and happy Nd
Chapter 33.And two, she was too terrified to give him an answer. So he decided to investigate the situation himself as he focused on her face.Her eyes looked like they could roll off the next minute and her mouth was opened wide agape.He realized from the way her ear moved that she was very well away of her sorroundings. *Why does she look so frozen in time though?* He wondered as he brought his gaze back to her lips then her eyes. "What's the matter?" He asked again and watched with anxiety as she brought her lips to a pout. Just when he thought he had to do something to make her talk, given how she looked at the moment, she blinked slowly at first then rapidly and llbrought her right index finger toward the freezer. "My ice cream. My ice cream is missing." She said even though her tone felt like she was very close to tears. "But that's it in there." He said as he looked to the direction she was pointing in. "Or did you spill it?" He asked as he peered into the freezer out

Chapter 34As soon as she got to the front of the kitchen door, she froze. Staring right in front of her was a large pair of pure white eyes which she could make out in the darkness. She tried to look down and found out that the eyes had no body. Andrea shivered as the wind blew, followed by the weird sound that followed. Then a stronger wind blew and she saw the eyes move forward. Andrea was about to scream when she reminded herself that she had to be reasonable. *I can't show my husband that I am weak despite the strong front I'm putting.* She said as she walked backwards. With the pillow held dearly in front of her, she continued and made sure not to cut eye contact with the eye stating in front of her. As the wind blewz she saw it move to the front and her heart was beating so fast in fear, but she tried to calm herself down. When suddenly, the wind blew so fast and one of the eyes fell down. The wind also started to become violent as it hit the window and the outside be
