After talking to the unconscious child for a little while, Marcel stood up from the small stool that he had been sitting on beside the child’s bed and he kissed her on her forehead.“Daddy loves you,” not forgetting to mutter how much he loves his darling child, Marcel turned his back to her and strode out of the room. His mood was gloomy like someone who doesn't know how to smile. Maybe he just lost all knowledge of how to smile because his face carried traits of someone who has been shown life and someone who doesn't like smiling. The first person that Marcel met after exiting the room was Izabelle. He saw her face around the hallway and he walked to her. She immediately stopped pacing and faced him as he came near her. “Rosie is going to be okay.”With a cold voice, she replied. “I know. You don't have to tell me.”“Right. I know I'm a stupid piece of shit and I sincerely apologize. I really didn't mean to leave that way, last night.”She ignored him. “Iza.”“I ain't the one th
“Rosie is awake,” Nick announced and immediately he did, Izabelle buried her face on Marcel’s chest and he hugged her too in happiness. Their little bundle of joy was awake. What more could they even ask for? Marcel smiled and moved forward a little to shake Nick’s hand. A little sign of appreciation. He was grateful to the guy. So grateful. “Rosie is awake?” That was from Jared. He has been out for some calls before and only came back now. His eyes scanned the position that his sister and Marcel were in and he frowned. They already resolved just now? What the hell? He glared at Marcel as if he was going to give him another hit on his head.Maybe if care is not taken, that is going to happen very soon. “Yes. She just woke up. The nurses are helping her sit up. I checked her condition and glory be to God because she is doing fine. Sie Sie is a strong girl.”“Thank goodness,” Jared replied. “I'm relieved that Rosie is fine.”Izabelle broke away from Marcel and stared at Nick with gra
“I don't want to join. What Superman and Superbaby game do you two want to play? Don't add me to any childish game,” Izabelle refused as she stood up from the bed to grab a glass of water from the bedside table and she gulped it down. “Mommy, it's not a game. It's real life. Daddy is going to take me along next time and you'll see us on TV while we are saving people. They are going to give us an award.”“Right, Iza. We'll perform our Superman and Superbaby duties and make everyone proud.”“You two watch too many movies. Hence, I'm going to switch off the television and hide all the remote controls in the house. The movies you watch are too many.”Rosie giggled at her mother’s words. It seems that she wasn't scared of the threat as she trusted that her father could take the remote or do something if her mother did as she threatened. “Mommy is jealous.”“What? What should I be jealous about?”Marcel joined in the teasing. “Because you're not super.”“Super huh? You two must have hit
Jared and Nick walked into the room and they both stopped halfway in confusion. What the hell was going on here? The room was a little messy with pillows around and their eyes fell on the little child on the bed. She was staring towards a particular place and they wondered what was there. Their eyes trailed her sight line and fell on the two people at the other side of the room. What in the name of God is going on here? They both frowned in confusion at the sight. Have these two people gone nuts? They sure have. They must have gone nuts because this wasn't how normal people behave. Or is it?Izabelle was holding a glass and it was above her head. Marcel was shrinking to the walk as if he was afraid of the woman and he was whispering something to her that they couldn't hear. Izabelle turned around and the moment she did, she immediately dropped her glass cup on the couch next to them. “What is going on here?” Jared asked. “Uncle Jared, Uncle Nick,” Rosie greeted. “How are you Sie
Two weeks later. Rosie has already been discharged from the hospital and as Marcel promised, he bought her the small toy castle it was placed on the top of her play table, and as she stepped into her room on the day of her discharge, the first thing she saw was the castle and she couldn’t help but scream loudly and run to her father to hug him. Now it’s been two weeks since then and the summer holiday is over. The child had to go back to school and learn to become a better person in the future. These days, Rosie has been eager to go to school and Izabelle doesn’t know why. If it was before, she would grumble and grumble and ask why she always had to go to school. But these days, she even wakes up earlier than usual to take her bath herself and get ready. Yes, that was a new improvement in their lives, Rosie now insists on taking her bath herself. It wasn’t like before when she would insist on taking baby girl treatment and have someone bathe her. Today was a Wednesday and Marcel an
Ding!Izabelle’s phone lit up indicating that notification just came in and she smiled at Rosie who kept rambling before dipping her hands into her bag and bringing out her phone. Who was it that texted her? She frowned when she saw the number. It was an unknown number. Who was it that messaged? She clicked the message bar and her eyes widened. It was a video. Just a video. No text or anything to explain what the video meant and she wondered what it was. “What is it?” Marcel asked, noticing that she had not been saying anything while Rosie was speaking. “N..nothing,” she clicked on the video and her eyes widened for the second time and it even widened again when the video kept playing. She immediately hid her phone back in her bag and blinked her watery eyes. “What’s wrong, Iza? Who texted?”“It’s no one.”“Then why did your mood just change? You know we said not to keep secrets. Tell me, who ruined your mood.”“I told you it’s no one.”“Really.”She snapped at him. “Stop asking
Who the hell sent her this? Marcel groaned as he kept playing the video and watching the content of it. Who was the fucker that sent her such a video? No wonder she has been down the whole ride back home. He clenched his hand wrapped around the phone and almost threw it away. If the phone was his, probably he would have flung it away ever since. The content of the video was offensive to him. Well, he was the one in the video after all. He has to explain to Izabelle that it is not what she thinks it is. Who the fuck sent her this in the first place? God saves the person that he doesn't find out because if he does find out, he is going to make sure to ruin the person’s life. How dare he? Although he already had a hunch of who the person might be, he wasn't so sure yet. He has to investigate this issue and when he eventually finds out, God saves the person. Slipping the phone into his pocket, Marcel climbed up the stairs and immediately ran to the room he shared with Izabelle. He br
Izabelle was shocked the moment she opened the bathroom door. Her eyes widened at the scene that she met the moment she came out of the bathroom. She had spent more than an hour there and after thinking things through, she decided to come out as it was not as if she was planning to spend the rest of the night there. “Wh…what?”Her eyes fell on the man who was sitting on the floor. He had been sitting there with his back to the door and had he not managed to stabilize himself, he would have fallen backward and landed on his back on the floor. “Iza.”Marcel stood up as soon as he saw her come out of the bathroom and he immediately walked to her and held her arms. “Are you okay?”“I…I’m fine. What were you doing here? You would have hurt yourself.”“I was just waiting for you. You're good now?”“Yeah. I…I’m so…sorry for speaking rudely at you,” she apologized. After sitting in the bathroom for more than an hour, she had retained everything that happened and after thinking, she realiz
