Caleb stopped at the door and turned around to face her with the same evil grin plastered on his face again.

"Yes?"

He asked and raised an eyebrow at her, waiting for her to say something. She took in a deep breathe," I will talk to her now"

She begged and he could not stop smirking.

"I thought you want to play games with me"

He taunted her as he made his way towards her. Maria tried as much as possible to keep a distance between them but Caleb would not see to it. It looked like he derived pleasure from making her feel uncomfortable.

"I am in for no games. What you should do for me is set me free and let me go home to my friend. I don't want her to worry to death because of me"

She pleaded calmly, with hope that his heart would soften and he would do as she said.

Instead of giving her any answer, he leaned closer and brushed his lips over hers lightly in an almost chaste kiss before pulling away.

"I guess you really need to work on your convincing skills," he laughed.

    Selena wiped the sweat off her face as she waited anxiously for a cab to come by. She was clutching the bag of money like her life depended on it. Sure, her brother's life depends on it. Her phone beeped and she cursed out loud. It indicated battery low and it will soon go off. That's why Maria could not get through to her the first time she called because the phone tripped off and Selena had to power it and now that she had heard from her friend, she wouldn't be too worried if the phone goes off. What she should be worried about is how to get home or even to the hospital right now. It's pretty late and the night is already dead but she was optimistic that she will get a cab. She slapped off the mosquito on her right legs and shifted her weight to the right leg. She was standing few meters away from the hotel. The night was breezy and chilly, the wind biting and the temperature dropping. She wrapped her hands around herself tightly to block the chill but it wasn't enough. Her tee

    All Selena could feel was numbness in her heart. Her mouth formed an 'o' shape as the realization dawned upon her.The only thing she wanted to do was scream but there was no noise coming out from her lips. Selena clenched tighter to her brother and let her tears fall from her beautiful hazel eyes.The pain was excruciating. Her throat tightened and she choked the sob that threatened to burst its way from her chest. She could not hold it anymore so she let out a piercing scream. Melissa jumped to her feet in confusion. For a few seconds she did not understand what was going on. Her confusion was immediately replaced with concern."Selena, what's the matter?"She asked, moving closer to Selena but stopped in her tracks when she saw how Andrew was looking. He was looking so pale, like someone whose blood had ceased to flow in his system and the reality dawned on her, he is dead. A lump caught her throat and she tried to fight the bile rising within her throat as she stared at And

    For FEW minutes none of them moved from where they curled on the floor. Selena stared blankly ahead of her, lost in thought. She has stopped crying, just traces of tears on her face. She has lost all colors on her face. Her eyes were dull, no life. She felt like the world lost its meaning. Andrew is her life and now he is gone, she has nothing to live for. She was ready to do anything to save him, to the extent she nearly repeated a past mistake. "You know I want my daughter to look like you though,"Andrew's voice rang in her head."She is going to have your compassionate heart. And the same way you are protecting me is how she would look after her kids' siblings""And how are you sure she is going to be the first one?" "I just know"Another tear dropped from her eyes and she wiped it away. There is nothing to hold onto now but memories both shared. Life will never be the same again and Selena knows this. She can't imagine how she will live without her brother. She wasn't ab

    Vera wasn't ready to accept reality. She has come to love Andrew and Selena as her own. After Mrs Parker, her dear friend died, she has promised to love them and make sure they never feel their void of losing a mother. She had taken a liking for them. Selena is sweet, caring and has been kind even to people who have hurt her. And she is such an angel. She doesn't deserve any of this. Nobody deserves to lose a parent and a sibling in a short space of time. She wanted to be the mother they lost and also for them to be siblings to Melissa. Now that Andrew is gone, it's just Selena and them. "I remember giving your mother my words that I will look after you both and now. I am sure she will be disappointed in me"She let out a quiet laugh and closed her eyes shut for a split second." I love you very much and I always will. Rest in peace, Andrew Parker. Selena, Melissa and I will miss you immensely" She pulled the sheets back to his face and turned around, leaving the ward in mo

    Delson blinked severally to make sure he was not hallucinating and when he stopped blinking, Andrew was standing right there. Delson sat there for a few seconds with wide eyes until Andrew started moving towards him slowly. When he finally got to his senses, he stood up frantically and backed away from the approaching ghost, only that Andrew doesn't look like he is a ghost at all. "Stop!"Delson yelled and he stopped but before Delson can say anything the door bursted open and he disappeared. A nurse a entered and found him looking around. "Are you alright, sir?"She asked in concern.Delson nodded his head in response. "Okay then. The head doctor needs your attention in the emergency room, please hurry up." He nodded again and made his way out of the office with the nurse who followed her behind. ******* Robert pulled the door open and walked into his son's room. Kyle laid squarely on the bed with his eyes glued to the tv. Robert was displeased to see him still awa

    "You know your nanny can go with you,"Robert spoke up after a disturbing silence existed between them. Kyle glared at him and snapped,"What! For how long is she going to be my mom? What happens when my friends find out that she is my nanny, not my mom. Dad, you know what, forget it. I am not going to school tomorrow and that's it. I don't care if I am ever going to know my mom." He said all that yelling. The silent night echoed his words back and Robert was afraid that he would wake up everyone in the mansion. "Put down your voice, it's late already "Robert cautioned him, gently placing a hand against his cheek."Sorry dad,"Kyle muttered. "It's alright. I am sorry you are feeling this way and there is nothing I can do about it. If you don't want to go to school tomorrow, it's fine. But I promise you that next time such will happen in your school, you will have a mom to go with you. No get some sleep" Kyle nodded and Robert drew the duvet to his neck then kissed his fore

    It was 2am in the morning and Maria found herself wide awake. She hasn't been able to sleep and she is anxious and restless about it. She sat on the bed, legs crossed staring at the door, she has been doing that for a while now. Part of her hopes that Selena is okay which she doubts when her brother is lying in the hospital, awaiting surgery. "Why am I feeling so unsettled."Her mind wandered off to what could be the problem. Sighing deeply, she stood up from the bed and left the room. She was thirsty and wanted to drink some water. As soon as she stepped out of the room, she breathed in and out then proceeded to get water to quench her thirst. She took the last of the stairs and headed in the direction of the dining room. Sight of the dining reminded her that she missed dinner last night. Caleb had annoyed the hell out of her that she lost appetite and thereby going to bed hungry. She was able to get water to drink but she could not leave without having something to fi

    Selena turned on her side and met the bed empty, she hissed loudly and raised herself up from the bed. She rubbed her eyes trying to adjust her eyesight properly. Her sight was blurry due to the bright light. After a while, she managed to open her eyes and looked at the wall clock on the opposite Wall, it was just few minutes to 7am She yawned and stretched then hopped out of the bedroom and headed to the bathroom. Few minutes later, she was back inside the room with her hands in her mouth, looking so tired. She had a few bugs under her eyes and puffy cheeks. Her eyes were red as well which indicated that she did not sleep well. She climbed the bed and sat wondering why Andrew is up early today. His side of the bed is empty. He doesn't have school today because he has a doctor appointment as well. She picked her phone from the nightstand and dialed his number. The ringtone echoed throughout the room which surprised Selena. "He never goes out without his phone or is he in th

    “Dad?” Kyle called at the door, smartly dressed. Robert looked up from his laptop and smiled genuinely at him. He was trying to round off work before he could go down to the party venue. It was Kyle’s tenth birthday and after he left Peru without Selena, he had engrossed himself in planning the party himself to keep himself busy. That way he would think less of her and funny enough, it worked.“Hey big man. Come in.” He cheerfully invited his son in. Kyle threw himself on his father's bed peeping into the laptop, trying to find out what Robert’s working on. It was surprising to the whole family when they found out that Robert was actually Kyle's father. It was a beautiful surprise. Kyle didn't have to feel any less of himself finding out he was actually adopted by his real family. His only regret was his mother missing. He thought if he had been nice to Selena maybe she wouldn't have left him the second time. He did understand why she left him the first time, it was for his own go

    “If I'm with you right now, I would have given you a hard knock on the head.” Maria fumed over the phone. She couldn't believe that Selena would leave the country without letting her know. She was worried sick trying to reach her on the phone. To think that's the least of the things she didn't know happening in Selena's life at the moment.“Calm down, girl. I didn't have time to think.” Selena said, trying to pacify her friend. It wasn't working because she could literally hear her friend breathing heavily over the phone.“Okay. I'm calm.” Maria said after a moment. “So tell me what happened?” Selena sighed and got to her feet, moving about in her hotel room. After landing in Peru, she had booked a hotel and settled in before phoning Maria. Moving around in the new city wasn't hard for a first timer though. All thanks to Google map.“There are things I can't explain to you at the moment. Just know I'm fine and when I can, I will explain things to you.” She breathed, squeezing her e

    NINE YEARS AGO It was early on one Saturday morning, a girl was seen hovering around the Fin Mansion. Her face went unseen because of her cap and hoodie that covered everything from her head to waist, only revealing her dark hair and pale complexion.Her appearance didn't seem suspicious in the slightest, almost blending perfectly with the surroundings but the eyes that peeked through the edge of the cap showed that she is indeed interested in entering the mansion or waiting on someone or something. For over twenty minutes, she waited and when her patient was almost worn out, a guard came out and sighting the basket in front of the huge Fin gates, he rushed back in and soon returned with the young master, Robert Fin who was just almost turning twenty at that time. Seeing that her mission had been accomplished and that the baby inside the basket was in safe hands where he belonged, she pulled herself from her hiding and disappeared from sight. The lady turned out to be Selena Parke

    Within a minute the ward was turned upside down by Robert, calling Selena's name at intervals.“F*ck!” He exclaimed, scared that something bad might have happened to the lady he just learnt to be Kyle's mother. Robert had questions and he needed answers but firstly he needed to know her whereabouts. He rushed out immediately, bumping into a nurse. "Where is Ms Parker?" He asked in haste. The nurse looked at him with a questionable look, "Sorry, I don't know any patient by that name." The woman apologized, trying to walk past him to continue her job. Robert grabbed the nurse's wrist and held her back, making her yelp in surprise."What do you mean? In a large hospital like this and a patient is missing, you're giving me the crab of not knowing such a patient." His patience was running out and at the same time, he was blaming himself. If indeed Selena is missing, it's should be his fault. How could he had left her alone. Yeah, he was in foul mood yesterday after Selena made it clear

    “The baby didn't stay! I'm sorry." The doctor's words kept replaying in his mind. The next few hours was hell for Robert. Pacing around at intervals, blaming himself for not realizing that Selena was pregnant until she had lost the baby, his baby."Fuck!"He kicked the air and tagged at his hair in frustration. It was all his fault. If he had paid close attention, he would have noticed.According to the doctor, Selena was just two weeks pregnant and giving blood out to Kyle had caused the miscarriage.Imagine saving a life to kill another. At the sound of Selena's voice, he turned and she was trying to get off the bed. She was awake now. "Hey, let me help you." Robert offered but Selena pushed his hand away, glaring at him. "When am I leaving the hospital?" She asked sternly, looking everywhere but him. "They won't let you leave until tomorrow." Robert informed her. "How are you?" He asked her. She scoffed and rolled her eyes at him."Fine." She answered bitterly, looking away

    The scenario before Selena was the most terrifying sight ever. Kyle was sprawled on the floor with his head bleeding profusely. “How the hell did he slip and fall?” She asked as she tried wrapping her hand on what was going on. Her feet couldn't move, neither did her body. A small whimper escaped from her mouth following a chilling scream from her. The next minute, Kyle's unconscious body was surrounded by the guards and maid. Funny how none of the workers in the place heard his scream when he fell. Commotion followed immediately and soon an Ambulance arrived. Kyle was wheeled in while Selena followed after putting a call across to Robert. She had gathered herself a little but however she still looked shaken and... scared. "Please, don't die." Selena tearfully told unconscious Kyle as she clasped her hands together with his. Her tears wouldn't stop falling as her chest tightened in pain. It hurt like hell seeing Kyle in that state not knowing what his fate will be. The fall was pr

    Groaning with one eye open, the wall clock stated 7am in the morning. Too lazy to get up, but Selena has to get up. It was the day she was going to be free. Her contract had ended and knowing what she knows now, she was walking out of Fin mansion without a second thought. Yesterday, Julio had visited and told her about her parents death and how Vera Wilson was involved in everything. She learnt Vera was her father's evil ex and Dash was her half-brother. It didn't matter since her parents were dead so she told Julio that if ever the case was won in court, all that was left in her name should be given to the less privileged. She has nothing to do with what will constantly remind her that she no longer has the people she loves with her. Julio could do anything to convince her but Selena wouldn't hear of any of it. Life had solemnly dealt with her and she would want to be far away from any constant reminder of the things life had snatched from her.“Rise and shine, Selena.” She yawned

    "Ma'am, the driver is waiting for you." Selena turned to Flora with her brows raised. "Where is your Boss?" Selena asked, now frowning. Her mood had been sour since she found out about her pregnancy and had stayed back in her room for the rest of the morning. Though she had mixed feelings about the pregnancy, she was keeping it and there was no way Robert would get wind of it. Too bad her baby will be raised without a father because after today she was disappearing and no one will find her. "He's left." Flora mumbled, feeling pity for Selena.How sad that Robert didn't at least check up on her to know why she hadn't been out of her room since the last time they saw and now he was gone?She's not surprised. She knew he doesn't care about women, talk more of a lady like her.With a sigh, Selena got to her feet and headed straight towards the door."Ma'am." Flora stopped her with a soft voice. "I'm sorry about this."Selena chuckled, "why?" "You're sad and it break my heart." Flora t

    "So Ma'am, I hope you slept well?" The maid who now has a name tag, Flora, asked, pouring Selena a cup of coffee. Selena was wrapped in her sleeping wear. Her sleepy eyes dulled out as she tried to make up what the maid had asked."You said what?" She mumbled and slipped off the bed, staggering. For the record, she slept off on the couch. How did she get on the bed?"I asked if you slept well?" Flora repeated her question, shaking her head. She likes Selena and it was obvious. Selena was easy to love anyway."What do..es..t.tha.t me..a.n" Selena slurred and blinked repeatedly to wave off the sleep in her eyes."Here." She tried handling the coffee mug to Selena. "Thank you." Selena thanked as she took the drink and sipped it, returning to full consciousness.The coffee tasted delicious. "Does the coffee taste fine?" She heard Flora ask after seeing the change in her facial expression."Yes." Selena replied, giving the maid a sincere smile.Flora giggled, "If you need help showering, l
