Tears were running down her face freely. She sobbed softly but Melissa didn't mind. Melissa's arms were wrapped securely around her."Shhh, its okay, it's going to be alright"Melissa murmured reassuringly while stroking her head. Noises were heard coming from the main door and soon enough, Vera walked in looking tired. Her night shift was tiring coupled with the death of Andrew, she was exhausted. She jingled the spare key as she headed into the room but stopped on her tracks seeing the position her daughter and Selena is in. It was obvious to her that Selena is still mourning her brother as expected. She sighed,"are we still crying?"Selena in her tears turned towards Vera, Melissa twitched her lips and shook her head in response. "Selena won't stop crying and soon I might join her. We are all deeply hurt here but if she continues like this, we will never get over Andrew's death," Melissa said as a matter of factly and that really broke the remaining piece of Selena. S
"Use the door!"Robert yelled as his gaze continued to fix on his son. The door opened and in walked Eli"What?"Asked Robert not looking up. Eli sighed and shook his head."For once, can he be nicer? Always looking grumpy and sad"He thought and mastered a smile."Your father wants you to visit him"Eli said and stepped back a little so that if Robert flared up like he always does, he would be safe because as far as he is concerned, the news is not a pleasant one and Robert hates it when his father demands his presence. Robert clenched his fist, Kyle stared at him waiting for his normal reaction but what happened next surprised all three of them"Alright, I will see him"Was Robert's simple reply. He had concluded yesterday he would see his father. Eli gasped while Kyle had a huge confusion on his face. Robert was equally surprised at himself for agreeing so easily."Sir, are you sure?"Eli had to be sure that he heard his boss correctly. A situation where he would make arrangeme
"Watch where you are going next time?"Caleb mumbled and picked up the pieces of his state phone. He was on a call when Maria collided with him and in the process of stopping her from falling, his phone fell instead.Maria scrambled up from the floor and charged at him."Why did you push me, huh?"She was pointing at him with a mean expression. Caleb rolled his eyes and removed her finger from his face then strengthened his shoulders."I did not push you, you fell"Was just the straight reply he gave her. Maria wasn't comfortable with his indifferent behavior towards the situation. She was somehow mad that he did not show any concern and without hesitation, he threw her on the floor. Has he become so mean that cares about no one again? What if she had a broken back because of the fall?"How can you say that, are you trying to make me look like a liar"She pointed out to him and swallowed hard when she realized he was shirtless. He was wearing tight pants that showed off his well-
Selena stared at her breakfast of eggs and bacon which has been left on touched, the staring has been going on for a few minutes. Her mouth felt bitter and the last thing she wanted to do was feed her stomach when her dear brother was lying cold in the morgue. Melissa watched her worriedly, she had lost words of comfort to say to her. She is hurting as well but it won't stop her from feeding so she could get the strength to cry when the need arises. "Hey sel" Selena looked up and managed a smile, "Is there a problem? " Melissa smiled back," You are not eating. Even if you are not hungry, try and force a little into your stomach. You need your strength and besides, mom asked me to make sure you are fed so start eating now."Selena smiled weakly as she pushed the plate away from herself "I am not hungry"Melissa looked hurt, " You do know that Andrew will be sad with you for starving yourself""He is not here anymore so I don't need to worry about how he feels. If I
Pain exploded on the side of his head, Caleb didn't even hear the shattering of the cup because of the excruciating pain. Blood rushed to his face as his eyes widened in shock, not believing what just happened. Blood streamed from his forehead and ran down his forehead along the left side of his jaw, down his cheek and the smell of his own blood filled the air and he felt dizzy."Oh my God! Oh my God!! Oh my God!!!"Maria was panicking, she was shaking and her hands were trembling. She was scared. In her anger, she had injured him and she is lost with what to make out of the situation. Will he drag her by the hair and lock her up, will he get a severe head injury? What happens if he suffers memory loss because of the hit? She was panicking and so questions she has no answers to, gathered in her head as her body shivered violently from fear. Not minding the pain, Caleb stood up and charged towards Maria. Maria, lost in her thoughts, did not notice him until he was
Selena stood before the Fin Mansion, staring blankly at it. Though she knows that Robert Fin is rich but has no idea that he is this rich. She was finding it hard to believe that the mansion she was seeing belonged to just a man and his family. Some people are damned lucky in life. She thought to herself. The mansion was beautiful like something out of a magazine. She never saw a mansion as big as this and on top of that, it was magnificent. She sighed and stepped closer to the gate and to her surprise, the big iron gate opened. No one was in sight, she didn't know whether to proceed or just stand there until some sort of maid or guard comes by. "Take a step, baby girl." She told herself as she clutched the big bag of money. That's why she was at the Fin Mansion, to return the money and see if her deal with Mr. Robert will be canceled, she doubted so. It will really gladden her heart if she gets rid of the money before her brother's funeral in the evening. There were a lot of th
Without desiring to look at her, he turned his back on her, " Go bury your brother and get your a*s here in two days, if I find you myself, you will hate yourself forever. Don't say I didn't warn you.""But Mr. Fin-"He interrupted her mid-sentence and turned around to stare daggers at her, "Just go."Selena took a deep breath to control her anger but she was not listening to him."Didn't you say I am not your type of woman, why don't you collect the money and let me go?" Robert smirked and tilted his head sideways to look at her, "I did say you are not my type but I also mentioned if you are groomed you will become my type. In case you don't know, you are indebted to me and you will pay for every damned money in that back until your services are not needed. Don't let me add a severe punishment to what you have to do for me, being a stubborn brat won't help you."Selena bit her lip and stared at him, his smile made her stomach churn. She hated him right there for making her go thr
Maria stood still for five seconds, not understanding what he meant. Like was he being for real? Was he really letting her go after everything she had done to him? She looked at him confused, "you are telling me I cannot stay?""No... You cannot."She frowned and asked him again."Why not?""Because I want to heal from you and to do that, I don't need to be seeing you. Got it? Pick everything you have here with you and wait outside, the driver will take you to town." Whatever Caleb said was unlike him, Maria still finds it hard to believe he would let her go after he made it clear that she is not leaving there until he was satisfied with her stay. Or maybe he is satisfied with her stay or her presence now irritates him or maybe he hates her so much that he can't bear to see her face. Either way, she was leaving and she should be happy because soon enough she will see her best friend but that was not the case, Maria wanted them to settle whatever dispute they have with each other.
