Chapter 64 Edginess of Carrying Secrets
Marianne was woken up to the sound of the landline's loud ringing tune on her side table.
"Who on earth would be calling so early in the morning!" she moaned as she put her hands to her ears. When the ringing stops, she takes off her sleep mask, but then she grimaces and squints her eyes because of the brightness of the room that is blinding her. She can hear Francois’s voice who is answering the phone from his desk. While adjusting her eyes to the light, her vision is focusing at the direction of Francois’ voice but is surprised to also see John there who is sitting in front of him. She sees John who is waving at her with an amuse smile on his face. Marianne gives him an irritated look of ‘why are you here?’ which made John more amused. She turns her head to her side but is baffled to see the time on the clock.

Everyone in the room looks at Leonna who had obviously heard their conversations.“I was passing by and the door was open. Michael I heard you mentioned my name. What about me? I also heard you say John and Joanna. Am I related to them? Is that what you are saying?” Leonna is looking at Michael with questions and hope in her eyes.“Jesus!” muttered Carl, finally sinking in what Michael had said.Marianne alarmingly looked at Francois and with a ‘What should we do?’ in her face expression.“Carl, could you please close the

In the dining room, it’s quarter past six in the evening on the big Victorian wall clock. The Williams’ household’s rule is to be on time for meal times which are eight in the morning for breakfast and six in the evening for dinner. At this time, everyone is at their seats and as usual Joanna is dominating the conversation.“John, did you know that Marianne had invited mum and dad to stay here when they are back from their holiday,” said Joanna, chuckling and shaking her head.“What!!?” John nearly spills his drink. He turns his vision towards Marianne trying to figure her out ‘Why would she do that

Marianne holds her breath as she watches her friend Annie who is being emotional and giving Joanna a hug.“She must have been so stressed for not telling Joanna about her and John. I totally sympathise with her as I would be, if I'm on that situation,” said Marianne in a soft voice to Francois, who is seated next to her near the fireplace.Francois looks at her, analyzing what she had just said.“You are a very close friend to Joanna, you must have felt guilty too,” added Marianne while she watches Joanna who is showing concern to
Purest Hearts Chapter 68 Francois' Apology
Francois looked at Marianne attentively, ‘I must have missed something?’ he thought. He notices the way she is sitting upright with her chin out, like she is ready for a battle yet there is also an indication of maturity and full of confidence in her look.Carl looked at Marianne sharply, for he didn’t expect her to be saying this, especially with some other people around them. This is more of Joanna’s style, but not Marianne. From what he had seen of her, she would either tolerate things or be dependent on Francois' support. He was about to tell her that ‘the words came out wrong earlier’ when he heard Francois apologising.“I’m sorry that I just agreed on what Carl had said earlier,” said Francois. He had programmed in his mi

Joanna squinted her eyes while looking at Leonna and said “I clearly heard you say ‘John is your blood brother’. Your tone sounds of an ownership. Why? Explain to me why did you say that?"Leonna feels so frustrated that she wanted to hit herself for making a mistake. ‘Why did I have to say ‘blood brother’? Now, how am I supposed to explain that! Whenever I make such mistakes at work, I could easily change the flow and way of conversations. I can’t lie to her or rather I don't want to lie to her. She is my blood sister. Ugh! What is wrong with me with this bloody ‘blood’ word!? If only I didn’t say that,' thought Leonna, kicking herself.Joanna watches her in silence and then she says “Leonna! There are no secrets that are to be

Marianne notices the unseemly behaviour of the people in the room. John and Joanna look like they had been caught off guard, while Leonna looks relieved to see them."Err.. Is everyone okay...?” queried Marianne. She didn’t miss the anger on John’s face which he masked out quickly.After a long silence, Joanna took a deep breath and said:“It’s not been that long since I met you and Annie. I was warmly welcomed here even though you didn’t know me. Those days that I had been here have never been a boring day. My favourite times were when we were all gathered together. There were banterings and many arguments that I don’t even remember what it is about. Whe
Purest Hearts Chapter 71 "Do I smell?"
The tightly shut door had been stared by Marianne for the past hour. She had been waiting for her husband to be back an hour ago. It is already half past two in the morning, but Francois has not come back yet. On her hand is an empty glass that had been warmed up for holding it for too long, and the smell of alcohol lingers in the air.Marianne had prepared herself for the reactions of everyone, once they had found out about Leonna and the wedding, but she did not anticipate that Joanna would be walking out in the middle of the night, and for the ‘Great John’ to be acting that way.‘I had anticipated for something like this to happen and I thought that I would be calm and would know how to deal with it. I’m not as mature as Leonna said. I was ar
Purest Hearts Chapter 72 Remembering The Old Times
The different colours of lights that change every now and then on the trees look magical, that even the animals and insects at night are bewitched by it. It is the month of December. It is an old custom at the Williams estate to have the trees near the castle and along the paths or road to have it decorated with christmas lights. It is like the festival of lights.It is nine in the evening, and it is freezing outside hence the minus temperature that was forecasted. There is not a moving soul to be seen inside the castle. The maids have been dismissed and have already retired to their rooms. Yet, in the middle of the courtyard, is a figure of a person in a wheelchair. Marianne had been staring at the lights. She likes the centrepiece christmas tree there which is about fifteen feet tall.She made a long sigh.
