Deandra povI couldn’t understand what was going on even though I wanted to. Ryder has never told me anything about having a family, he only told me he had someone he used to call mom and she has a daughter and they are not in the country but he never told me they were so close. They returned to the pack and instead of going to their mansion they chose to stay in the pack house. I didn’t find that reasonable in any way. I had to send him a message so that he can return downstairs because I don’t trust them at all. I can’t believe I will be having dinner with complete strangers.“I saw your text so I had to return downstairs.” Ryder said to me while panting, he looked so stressed, I could tell the whole thing was stressing him out as well, so I decided not to be a bitch and just go with the flow, as long as they don’t trouble me there will be peace, I just have to take it for two days. “Two days Ryder.” I reminded him. “Yes, two days.” He replied to me assuring me they’ll be leavin
Deandra povThe next morning. I woke up almost forgetting that we now have strangers living with us though they’re his family but they are complete strangers to me. And that young girl he calls his sister I know too well that she has something up her sleeves. I stood up from the bed and walked out of the room. Ryder had already left for work so it was just me and them in the house, Aliya barely had time to spend in the house because of her work. The moment I got downstairs I sighted both of them on the dinning. “This is going to be hard for me.” I muttered to myself and paused walking, but thinking about it very well, if I don’t treat them well Ryder wouldn’t be pleased because they helped him when he needed it the most. I passed the dining area and headed inside the kitchen, while I was passing my eyes met with Clarissa’s but we didn’t say anything to each other. I know they don’t like me, I can feel it. I picked a bottle of water and gulped it immediately. I was suddenly not in
Deandra POV The moment I got to the sitting room I sighted Sophie with two other girls. I was shocked to see that she is already inviting guests over.“What's going on here?” I asked curiously and they all turned to look at me. Sophie was not moved by my words, instead she acted like she didn't hear me say anything.“You heard me Sophie.” I said to her angrily. I knew from the start that Sophie and I wouldn't get along well but I wasn't expecting it to be this early. I don't know why but it's obvious she doesn't like me and she's not giving me the chance to get close to her. “What now? I'm not allowed to bring my friends over?” Sophie asked angrily. I smirked upon what she said. I can't believe she started this so early. We don't even know each other yet. “Stop making it a big deal Sophie I never Said your friends are not allowed here I would only prefer if you talk to me first about it.” I said to her trying to wrap it up because obviously we had guests and I was trying my best no
Writer's povIt got serious as Clarissa and Aliya were trying to calm Andra down. Clarissa was very scared seeing Andra in such State at this point she realized she knew nothing about Andra and her past which is why she's so scared seeing Andra in such a situation.“Andra, look at me, calm down.”Aliya said to Andra. Emma rushed to get her a glass of water so that she could calm down. When the water was brought she gulped it immediately and slowly she was able to calm down.Both Aliya and Clarissa were happy to see her getting better at this point. Clarissa started to regret her actions and made her wish she talked to Andra a little calmly.“I'm sorry for putting you in such a state. I never imagined something like this would happen.” Clarissa apologized to Andra immediately she got better. She was truly sorry for what she did and for speaking to Andra in such a tone.“It's not your fault you don't have to apologize.” Andra said to Clarissa she knew very well that at the end of the da
Deandra povAfter dinner I was in the room with Ryder who was rather too quiet, It seemed like something was bothering him.“Are you okay?” I asked him curiously and worried when I noticed the way he was behaving. “I'm good, just a little worried,” He said to me while taking off his clothes.“What's bothering you?” I asked curiously.“There’s just something different about her, she wasn't like this at all.” Ryder said to me, I could immediately tell who he was talking about.I was unable to say anything because I don't think I'm in the best position to talk when I have been unable to talk to her since she got here.“What difference did you notice?” I asked.“A lot of differences, maybe growth changed her a lot, but the Sophie I used to know was very calm and sweet, but right now I feel like I'm seeing a different person in her.” Ryder explained to me, after hearing what Ryder said I realized she might just be having a hard time settling her and that's why she's acting so differently.
Writer's povWhile Ryder was running upstairs. He kept hoping it wouldn't be something serious and he was wondering what it would be this time around. It's like the third crisis she's had since the pregnancy and every time she is always in serious pain. “Ryder, is there something wrong?” Clarissa asked why he was running upstairs but Ryder was so focused on where he was headed that he could not reply to her. Clarissa and Sophie did not hesitate to join him in going upstairs. When he got to the room he met Andra on the bed struggling in pain.“Hey calm down, I'm here now," he said to her calmly. Sophie and Clarissa walked into the room and also saw Andra in pain but Sophie was not interested that she is having pains. She was more interested in how beautiful the room looked and the interiors. Clarissa was a little worried but she didn't want it to show because of Sophie. She knows how Sophie took it the last time when Clarissa and Andra got close so she did not want such a thing to
Deandra’s povWhile the doctor gave me something to ease the pain, Ryder walked back to my ward and sighted me laying on the bed still feeling little pain. I just preferred the pain to stop but it wasn't stopping completely, somehow I realized it might be labor already. I let out a faint smile so that Ryder would stop worrying because from the look on his face I could tell he was scared. “How are you feeling now?” He asked worriedly. “Better than earlier I guess.” I said to him softly. Even after trying to make him think that there was nothing wrong with me, I could still tell he wouldn't stop worrying, the way he looked at me and shook his head made me realize that something was really wrong. “Is there something you want to tell me?” I asked him with a faint smile on my face, I was trying not to make it obvious through his facial expression that I was curious to know why he was looking that way. “Andra.” He called my name softly and sat on the bed, through his actions I could al
Writer's pov Aliya and Clarissa were confused when they heard what Sophie said, Clarissa was not shocked but at the same time she thought Sophie would be a little more reasonable and not say anything about Andra. “What's your deal with her? Ever since you got here you've been on her neck, what did she ever do to you?” Clarissa was shaking when she saw Aliya talking to Sophie, she wanted to stop her but she could tell Aliya was too pissed and stopping her would only give the wrong signal. “What are you talking about?” Sophie asked calmly. Clarissa was shocked because she was expecting a storm but instead she got air. She was wondering why Sophie did not get pissed and lose control like normal, seeing her talk to Aliya calmly made her almost start regretting the step she took a few minutes ago. “Are you really asking me that right now? Looks like you're not only annoying but you're also a liar.” Clarissa realized that was a big word and it might trigger Sophie and then she'll lose
Deandra povI wanted to rip him apart as I was standing close to him in the sitting room. I wanted to chop off his head for all the pain that he has caused me, but how do I do that when he’s the only one that knows where my kids are? How do I slap his face and kick him out of the house when he’s the only one that can bring the kids back to me. While listening to him I couldn’t think about myself anymore. The only thing on my mind was how I will get my kids back and at this point I was desperately ready to do what it takes to make sure I get them back. When Ryder returned home seeing me in such a state I hated myself too, I hated that I was swimming in his lies, I hated that I was going to do what he wants me to do just because I want my kids back. “What have I ever done to deserve this from him? Is it not enough that he broke my heart and shattered it so much that it was hard for me to pick up myself.” I said in my mind as I was staring at his face, he must be pleased to see me in
Writer’s povWhile we were in the sitting room, I couldn’t help but feel bad for Clarissa whose daughter is visible but she’s unable to see her. Both of us are really not in the same condition because my kids are literally nowhere to be found. “I’m so sorry to hear that.” I said to her a little above a whisper feeling bad for her, but there was really nothing I could do to help at the end of the day. I folded my hands around my chest and rested my head on the chair. I can’t believe both of us are in situations where we can’t see our children. “What happened to her dad?” I suddenly asked Clarissa. I have been curious to know what happened to him, she kept saying it was her fault that Sophie's situation got this bad and they moved because of her father’s situation but we never got to know what the situation was.“I don’t think I’m ready to talk about it.” Clarissa shunned immediately though she tried to be respectful about it. I didn’t press because I somehow had to respect her decisi
Deandra pov When we got back to the house I sat on the couch in the sitting room without saying anything to anyone, My experience in the hospital has taught me a lesson today. I couldn’t stop thinking about what Aliya said to me in the hospital. “Uggh.” I said frustrated and heaved a sigh, at this point I hate myself, maybe I have been thinking about only myself these past few days. I placed my hand on my head and rested my head on the chair. “Andra, let’s go to the room.” Ryder came to tell me and without hesitating I followed him upstairs. While we were heading upstairs I stared at Aliya’s room and closed my eyes before walking away. I shouldn’t have told her anything in the hospital, maybe she thought I was only thinking about myself but this is a total misunderstanding. When we got to the room I laid on the bed tiredly and heaved a sigh. My heart was heavy, I couldn’t even blink my eyes while thinking of everything that has been happening, but here I am staying up all nigh
Deandra povWhile I was seated there I didn’t want to hear anything from her, all I needed was for her to be far from me because I don’t consider us to be friends anymore after what she did. If I had known she would behave in such a way towards me I wouldn’t have bothered calling, talking more of texting her. Just when I thought she might understand her fault and let me be, she had to bring up another topic that came as a shock to me.“What do you mean? I mean how is any of these my fault?” I asked Aliya while struggling to keep my emotions in check and not say anything that’ll ruin the mood.“You want to pretend like you don’t know that you started first? I became invisible to you! And when I was struggling with my breakup, where were you?” My heart sank as I listened to her yell at me, I scoffed and turned to look at her. “Struggling? You struggled? When you ended the relationship yourself, you said you were sick of him and you didn’t want to be with him again, so how should I hav
Writer's povWhile Andra was driving back to the station she was fuming. The only thing that was on her mind is how she will deal with Emma.After a long ride she finally arrived at the police station. “Emma!” Andra shouted at the top of her voice. While she was shouting that the ambulance bus was leaving the station, Andra couldn't care less about what's going on and why the ambulance was at the station. “Come out you bastard!” Andra yelled angrily. “Please ma'am what's going on?” One of the police officers approached Andra trying to stop her from creating a sin, but she couldn't calm down because she was too upset. “Where is Emma?” Andra asked the police officer angrily. “Which Emma are you talking about ma'am?” The police officer asked. Andra was painting really hard trying her best not to lose it completely in the station. There was confusion in the station as they checked the register trying to find anyone named Emma but there was no one like that on the register which was
Deandra pov After getting the call from the police that there is a certain place that seemed suspicious and there's always a baby cry sound coming from the area every morning, which was told to the police by the neighbors. The moment we got the news the first person that crossed my mind was Aliya. I wanted to tell her the moment I got the news. I know that we've been having a rough time but I still want to tell her first. After trying to reach her several times she still wasn't picking her calls, because of that I decided to send a text. After waiting for some minutes she didn't step out of her room. I was fuming, I wanted to go to her room and yell at her for not replying to my message even though it involves the use of kids. So many thoughts crossed my mind as I was standing in front of her room. “Let's go already.” Ryder said to me and we both walked out of the house, when we got outside, I realized there was no point feeling bad anymore and maybe I can just do what I want a
Writer’s pov When Aliya got into the room she felt really bad about how she spoke to Andra a few minutes ago. “Was I too strict with my words?” Aliya asked herself and rolled on the bed feeling confused. She realized she might be doing too much already compared to what Ryder said she should do because Ryder doesn't want anything that'll hurt Andra but at this point what she's doing is going to hurt Andra. “Oh my goodness.” Aliya muttered and all of a sudden remembered her meeting with Leo. She noticed from the way he was talking that something was bothering him, he looked like he was telling the truth but at the same time he kept biting his lips which has always been his lie sign. ******* Aliya’s pov When we were kids it was very hard for him to tell a lie so each time he tried to tell a lie he kept biting his lips nervously. “Was he really lying?” I asked myself, the whole thing was so complicated, I really want to know if I should try and trust him again after what he d
Deandra’s povWhen Aliya was out of the house I couldn’t help but worry, I kept checking the time but there was no sign of Aliya yet. “Are you okay?” Clarissa asked the moment she got downstairs. She could tell from the look on my face that there was something bothering me.“I really don’t know anymore.” I said to her and placed my hand on my head before sitting on the couch. Clarissa also sat down and looked at my face. “Is this about Aliya?” Clarissa asked and without wasting time I nodded my head. “I really don’t know what happened, but she sounded really upset when we were talking, it felt like I don’t know her anymore.” I explained to Clarissa hoping to get an advice from her on how to handle the present situation. “Are you sure you haven’t done anything to upset her?” Clarissa asked. “None that I know of.” I replied to her almost immediately, I was completely confused and blank headed the more I tried to think about What happened. “Maybe you aren’t aware but she is, so I t
Writer’s povWhen she was done looking at her face through the mirror she finally summoned the courage to step out of the room. She needed to hear some things from her brother, she needed to know the truth, why he left her and why he didn’t say anything to her before leaving the house that night. She’s been in the dark for years waiting to get all the answers she needs from Leo and now that she has the opportunity to get the answer from him she can’t miss it. When Aliya got to the sitting room she met Andra walking down the stairs. Aliya rolled her eyes the moment she sighted Andra because she knew that they would have to talk about her brother again.“Are you sure about this?” Andra asked Aliya the moment she got closer to her. Aliya brushed her hair backwards with her hand and turned to look at Andra. It felt really hard for her to be cold to Andra but based on the plan that she had with Ryder she has to do the right thing. “Sure about what exactly?” Aliya asked. “Why are you b
