“You see, I have a half sister, Vivianne. After her mother died, my father took in my mother as his second wife, since she was already pregnant with me. Though, they never really got married”. “Eh? Your mother and father never got married? But why?”. Vivianne was surprised. “My mother despised my father so much. She hates him with great passion”. Kelly explained. She saw the confused look on Vivianne's face, so she continued telling the story, by saying, “Back then I was also confused, because I didn't understand the reason why my mother hated my father. After I celebrated my tenth birthday, my mother strangely disappeared without a single trace. But, she did leave me a really long note, and after reading the note she left me, I discovered that my father was a monster!-”. Kelly suddenly stopped talking, because she felt an invisible lump in her throat. Even her eyes were teary, causing Vivianne to panic. “Kelly, stop telling me your story. You're obviously feeling hurt”. Vivianne
Vivianne's mood had been gloomy ever since Kelly revealed those truths to her. “Brianna’s father was the one who killed my family?”. Vivianne muttered, and was still trying to accept the truth Kelly had told her earlier. “That's really the truth, Vivianne. Actually, after your twin brothers rescued me from the streets, I was so grateful to them. I seriously wanted to tell them that it was Mr Brooks who killed their family, but I later refrained from telling them because I felt they'd be in danger if I did. I'm so sorry for keeping this secret from you and your twin brothers”. Kelly explained to Vivianne, and also apologised to her. She thought that Vivianne was annoyed with her, so she lowered her head and was staring at the floor. Vivianne breathed heavily, before she stood up from her seat. Staring at the garnished spicy food on the table, Vivianne slightly shook her head in disappointment, because she'd already lost her appetite. “I need some time alone in my room, Kelly. And,
“Before I answer your question, what are your names? And what business do you have in my mansion?”. Vivianne tried to suppress her anxious heart after she asked Alastair and Alan this question. “You're asking for our names? Don't you have any fear–”. Before Alan could finish talking, Alastair interrupted him,“I'm Alastair, and this is my brother, Alan”. ‘Oh, they're brothers? I should have noticed this. After all, they have the same eyes and hair. But I still don't understand why Kelly has the same hair as them. And, she also resembles Alan. Could she possibly be related to them without any knowledge of it?’. Vivianne wondered, before she realised that she was engrossed in her thoughts. “Ahem”. Vivianne cleared her throat without warning, and after doing that, she answered Alan's question, by saying, “The annoying guy your brother knocked out was the one who hurt her”. As soon as Alan heard Vivianne's reply to his question, he glared at Ray with dark eyes. He later got distracted
As early as 6am in the morning, Brianna woke up from sleep. She left Harry's room and directly went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast. Well, ever since the night she raised her voice against Kendrick, she'd been avoiding him, and was also staying in her son's bedroom at night. Brianna arrived in the kitchen and quickly began to prepare breakfast. Today was a Saturday, so she won't have to take Harry to school. The main reason she was preparing today's breakfast early was because of Kendrick. He mostly leaves for work with an empty stomach, and she felt really bothered about it. “Why do I feel so alone?”. Brianna muttered to herself. She got distracted for some minutes, but was brought back to reality because of the burning smell her nose perceived. “Oh my gosh, the scrambled eggs got burnt!”. She panicked, as she quickly switched off the fire and took down the frying pan. Staring at the burnt scrambled eggs, Brianna frowned her face and was clearly disappointed, because she w
Kelly was the first person who woke up from sleep. Staring at her surroundings, she got flustered, because she was certainly sure that this wasn't her room nor Vivianne's room. She became alarmed and quickly rose up from her bed. Since Kelly had gotten out of bed, she rushed to Vivianne's bedside and began to wake her up. “Vivianne, please wake up! We might be in danger!”. Kelly announced. Her voice was impatient, as she wanted Vivianne to wake up immediately. “What danger?”. Kelly almost had a heart attack because of the deep husky voice that spoke in her ear. Just after seeing the scary face of the man who spoke to her, her legs lost their balance, and she fell on the floor. “How could you be a weakling? You fell right after seeing my face”. Alan said, and was somehow displeased with Kelly. The door to the room opened, and Alastair entered the room uninvited. Since he happened to hear what Alan had said to Kelly, he announced casually, “You must be seriously joking, big brothe
After Kelly announced the truth for the second time, Alan stood still and didn't move, as he was speechless. He felt a piercing pain in his heart, as he couldn't believe that he'd wrongly accused Debbie all these years. “So you're saying that Debbie didn't cheat on me?”. Alan's throat felt dry when he asked Kelly. “First of all, who are you to my mother, mister?”. Kelly asked Alan with a straight face, as she didn't quite understand his question, nor his exact relationship with her mother. Alan breathed in deeply, and forced himself to say, “I- I'm your mother's ex fiancè. I was once her fiancè”. Kelly unexpectedly gasped in disbelief after hearing what Alan had said. She was staring at him in shock, and at the same time, she had mixed feelings. “Yo- you're my mother's ex fiancè? The same ex fiancè she lied to nineteen years ago?”. “Yes”. Alan simply replied to Kelly, as he didn't have any reason to hide the truth from her. After witnessing everything that had happene
(Continuation of Mr Brooks' pov)Ever since Brooks set his eyes on Debbie, he desired her deeply. Though, he wasn't aware that she was officially engaged to another. He even vowed to propose his love to her whenever he saw her for the second time. Unfortunately, after he saw her again, his heart shattered into pieces. He felt deeply hurt, because he discovered that she already had a fiancè.And since he lost his wife to death, he wasn't ready to lose Debbie to another man! So he plotted to get her pregnant and make her his.It was a Tuesday night. The dark blue sky got darker, and the stars in the sky disappeared because it was covered by the rainy clouds.Brooks left his mansion in a hurry because he was haunted by nightmares. The truth was, he was the main cause of his wife's death. And due to this, he has not, for once, had a goodnight sleep. He drove to the hotel closest to him because the cloudy weather in the sky was alarming. Jane's glitter hotel,Upon Brooks' arrival at the
The Hart's mansion, Raquel was awake from sleep, and was brushing her teeth in her bathroom. At some point she sighed deeply, as her mind was preoccupied with countless wandering thoughts. She was standing in front of the mirror that was positioned just a few inches away from the sink. She poured the foam in her mouth on the sink, before she said to herself, “Finding a partner is harder than I thought”. When Raquel eventually stared at the mirror, she instantly flinched and almost fell down because of what she'd seen. Her hand was on her left chest, as she turned behind her and said, “You scared me, Aurora. How did you get into my bathroom without my awareness?”. “Are you for real, Raquel? The minute I arrived here, I called your name several times. It's clear your mind wasn't here at all”. Aurora quickly explained, before she gave Raquel the bottle water in her hand, and added, “Rinse your mouth. I want us to go out. There's something important I want to tell you about”.
“Debbie?”Debbie stood up from bed after she saw Alan. She was staring at him but didn't exactly know what to say to him. As she was about to lower her head in disappointment, that was when Alan rushed towards her and embraced her.“I miss you so much, Debbie!”. Alan continued to hug her as he said. What shocked Kelly was the minute she saw Alan crying. “What?”. She was so stunned because she had not expected a scary looking man like Alan to be crying like a baby. She wanted to stand up, unfortunately, she had no choice but to refrain from doing that because she had stressed her injured leg when she stubbornly went to make food for Debbie, despite the way the chefs had pleaded for her to step aside. “I- I missed you too”. Debbie cried out, before Alan stopped hugging her and held her hands. Alan had a guilty expression on his face as he stared at Debbie's eyes and apologised to her, “I’m truly sorry for blaming you all these years. I should never have doubted you for even a second”
Alastair drove all the way to Mr Brooks' mansion with an angry look on his face. Because the front of his car had the Alvarez logo attached to it, the security guard of Mr Brooks' mansion opened the gates for him without delay. Alastair drove into the mansion before he got out of the car. He had a piercing look in his golden eyes as he stared at the building in front of him. “Brooks! Get out of here this instant!”. Alastair yelled. His blood was boiling with insane anger because he was anxious and worried about Kelly. Since Mr Brooks didn't come out of his mansion, Alastair decided to storm in. But before he could enter the building in front of him, one of the security guards who happened to be sweating on his forehead approached him and said, “Mr Brooks is not around, Mr Alvarez”. “He's not around?”. Alastair muttered, and his eyes darkened, as he became even more suspicious of Mr Brooks. ‘Could he be at his company?’. He wondered. ‘But come to think of it, how did Mr
Vivianne was able to recognise the doctor because he was wearing his doctor's uniform. She was also able to recognise Ray, causing her eyes to darken as she glared at him. “You. I know you. You are one of Mr Brooks’ men who attacked Kelly and I before”. Barrett was staring at Ray, but after hearing what his little sister said, he glared at Ray. He demanded an answer, “You attacked my little sister? How dare you?!”. “Doctor, can you explain to me what's going on right now? Who's that guy standing next to you?”. Garrett asked him after he had started glaring at Ray. ‘This guy doesn't seem like an ordinary person’. He thought to himself because of the way Ray was dressed and had an aura of authority surrounding him. Before the doctor could say anything, Ray walked towards them and introduced himself, “I'm Detective Ray. I came here as soon as I could after confirming that you three siblings were in this hospital. And Vivianne, I'm sorry for what happened between us before. I was
Shark had arrived with Mr Brooks in the uncompleted building.He got confused and halted after he saw one of his comrades unconscious on the dusty ground. “What happened here?”. He muttered, as he continued to be confused. Out of curiosity, he went ahead and bent down, before he placed two fingers beneath his unconscious comrade’s nose. He sighed in relief after he confirmed that his comrade was still alive. After standing up and turning to Mr Brooks who was behind him, Shark said to him, “He's alive. No need to panic. I'll figure out what's going on”. “You had better figure out what's going on. I didn't come all the way here to waste my precious time. Where's your boss? And where’s the girl I told you guys to capture for me?”. Mr Brooks demanded an answer. He was quite impatient. “Like I've said, Mr Brooks, I'll figure out what's going on. Just give me some time”. “Fine. I'll give you only ten minutes. Find out what's going on. In the meantime, I'm leaving this place. Whatever ha
The mother and daughter spent many minutes crying and cuddling each other. It was later on that they both stopped crying and settled down on the bed. Kelly rested her head on her mother's lap. It had been long since she last experienced the love of having a mother in her life. “Mommy, there's something important I must tell you about. Would you mind hearing me out?”.“Of course, my sweetie. You can tell me about it. I will gladly listen to you”. Debbie assured Kelly, and was gently patting her head in the process.“Mom, I've already discovered that Mr Brooks is not my father. Actually, I've met my real father, Mr Alan. I was living in his mansion before I was kidnapped by the men Mr Brooks had hired”. Kelly explained to Debbie, who gasped in disbelief. Debbie quickly lifted Kelly's head, which was resting on her lap. She began staring at Kelly but didn't know what to say because she was currently speechless. As if Kelly knew what her mother wanted to ask her, she smiled and said, “
“What do you mean Kelly is in trouble, Alastair? Did anything happen to her?”. Vivianne asked him. “When I woke up this morning, I couldn't find Kelly anywhere in the mansion. And now that I've seen that she's not in the hospital with you, it could only mean one thing”. Alastair paused, talking. Suspense filled the air before he continued saying, “Kelly must be in trouble! I have to find her before it's too late!”. “Wa- wait, wait, Alastair. Why do you assume that Kelly is in trouble? You can't jump into conclusions like this, simply because you don't know Kelly's whereabouts”. Vivianne said to him. She tried to stand up, but couldn't, because an IV was inside her vein. The minute Garrett noticed that Vivianne was about to remove the IV, he rushed and stopped her, by holding her hand. “Don't be reckless, Vivianne. Always think about your health first before you ever act”. He frowned as he said to her. Vivianne sighed. She shifted her attention back to Alastair afterward. Alasta
Warnings: This chapter contains violence and death.Location, An uncompleted building that was located in a remote village. Five men gathered around the lady who was asleep. Their eyes were piercing as they stared at her. They were angry, because the person who had hired them for this job had not yet arrived. “Boss, should we continue to wait for him? We should sell her if he doesn't show up and pay us for the job”. One of the men, who tied a red bandana around his head, suggested. He was the most impatient one among all of them. The eldest man, who happened to be holding a gun, frowned. He was the boss that the guy with the red bandana was talking to. His name was Gunnar, and he was very muscular compared to his lower comrades. Gunnar replied to him, “Be patient, Shark. If that man doesn't show up in the next 15 minutes, I'll make sure that this young lady suffers beyond anyone's imagination. One way or the other, it's going to be fun for us”. The other men agreed with what the
Alastair went ahead to look for Kelly. It wasn't a serious search at first, but after many minutes had passed, and he had not seen Kelly, he began to panic gradually. Alastair's panicking got worse after he couldn't find Kelly anywhere in the mansion. It was almost as if she suddenly disappeared. He returned inside the mansion in a hurry and went to meet butler Robert, who was busy taking care of the household affairs. Butler Robert, who was carefully going through the list in his hand, had to stop what he was doing because of Alastair. Alastair was standing in front of him and was breathing heavily, as if he had run a marathon. “Bu- butler Robert, are you really sure you didn't see Kelly this morning? I can't find her anywhere in the house!”. Alastair said to him without delay. “Isn't lady Kelly in her room, young master Alastair?”. Butler Robert asked him. “Of course she's not in her room, butler Robert. I've searched everywhere, but I couldn't find her”. Alastair re
The hospital, Last night, after Kelly had left the hospital with Alastair, Barrett and Garrett returned to their mansion. They arranged the whole place and took their showers, before they returned to the hospital this morning. Barrett and Garrett were both sitting on the sofa that was positioned next to the window. Garrett, who was looking more worried than Barrett, suddenly asked, “Big twin, why hasn't Vivianne woken …” He couldn't finish talking because Barrett exclaimed. “She's waking up!”. Barrett pointed a finger at Vivianne and exclaimed, as he couldn't hold back his excitement. Immediately, Barrett and Garrett stood up from the sofa at the same time. They hurried to Vivianne's side, and their eyes sparkled the instant Vivianne stared at both of them. “Bro- brothers? What are you guys doing here? Aren't you supposed to be in China by now?”. Vivianne's voice was gentle and calm as she asked Barrett and Garrett. She examined her surroundings, before she asked them again, “W
