RAINIMy throat thickened, and I wanted to swallow, but I couldn’t.How could I, when my heart was heavy with thoughts…I was standing there regardless, watching each and every move.Trinity didn't say anything else for that moment as she was busy with her phone flipping through something I couldn't see.All I did was stand there and just stared, paralyzed, wondering why she was acting as though she was trying to hide something from me —Could it be that she was trying to hide the fact that she was jealous, I tried to weigh the thoughts in my mind before coming down to the fact that there was nothing for her to be jealous about.Has she always been like this?As we ate breakfast together, l leaned back in my heavy armchair, nearly shrouded by the darkness that was slowly descending upon the room and the shadows of the trees overhead.I looked out of the window at the rain, which looked to be heavy in the clouds.One of my hand rested on the table round the cup and the other reached to

ZAVIERRaini.I hadn’t seen her in months, but the pull was everywhere, especially in the crevice of my heart, that looked to be colonized by the thought of her.She was everywhere. In the pictures she left behind and I still kept around his house, in her scent that still drifted into the hallway from her old bedroom…She might not be here, but the thought of her still filled everywhere."Zavier!"I blinked, jerking my head to the left, hearing Bianca call my name.She walked out of the crowd, her hair freshly cut and plaited complimenting herdark eyes looking impatient, and her stride determined came over to where I was."I was starting to think you weren’t coming again, I arrived three hours before you."I hesitated, feeling my heart tighten as though I could sense Bianca watching me.I thought about what to say , but I couldn't think of any as I forced a smile as shestepped up to me, taking my bag."Two hours." I corrected it.She slipped a hand around the right side of my wai

RAINI.As usual River drove.It was just three months of carrying a Zavier child but I was already straining with the pregnancy already, it was almost as if I was trying all I could not to keep myself sane.The mere thought of him being around gave my body goose bumps as I was trying all I could to take away what Bianca said from the back of my mind while trying to hide the fact I was unsettled from my sister.The short trip to the hospital was uneventful, aside from the fact that I was trying all I could to stop myself from crying, I was doing all that was within my power and strength, but the more I thought about it the harder it was for me to think or even do anything.There was no will to stop myself any longer…Why is everything happening?I felt bitter as I thought to myself about the whole situation again and again, this time the tears did fall from my eyes unrelentingly.It took a while for her to notice, but she eventually did, turning to look at me square in the face.In-be

ZAVIER Was it normal to feel so illusional, I felt exactly that way as I tried to make my way out of this madness I was feeling at the back of mind.In the back of my mind, I could picture myself back in the woods somewhere far away.I hurried to my feet, in a way right there at the back of my mind I could hear the sound of leaves as it unrealistically crunched beneath my feet, the tall trees and shrubs that were a mere blur across my optical gaze and heart raced past.Walking toward the door and peeping outside, I could hear the sound of humans in the farthest distance.For the sheer love of it— I enjoyed the look on the woman's face when she had seen my x-ray.Her eyes constantly scanned the picture before looking at me again…"Fuck!" I muttered as I bumped into a trolley causing a bit of noise that must have alerted someone.I waited to see if anyone was around or had heard it before quickly adjusting my path and pace to suit the hallway.At the same time, I was aware of the

ZAVIERAs I watched the door close, I could swear that my heart was beating heavily from where it stood. It was frustrating…That brief moment of silence that existed between time and the periodic breathing that came after closing my eyes.In my life, regrets were easy to come by.The manner at which it came by was in such a way that they piled up, each one upon another until it was as though nothing was left in me than this feeling as though, weakening a man’s resolve.I didn’t regret much, and up until recently I had only felt guilt and pain,each one that followed me around ever since she left.Yet right at this moment, seeing her again… I regretted letting her leave.The regrets and everything I felt was heavy on my mind and even as I tried getting rid of it, it just wouldn't leave.It was as though, I was still married to herMy heart wanted to cleft close to her, I wanted her more than I had ever wanted anything and it hurt my heart to see that I was leaving me with a frustrating

RAINII Had always taken my sanity for granted, but at that moment I wished I could feel every bit of it , and the fact was was I did.I even pinched myself to be certain it wasn't a dream.Of all ways I had probably thought about seeing this man,this was definitely the most unscripted,I had never imagined that I would see him this way or or this manner.It was the twist in a drama, and I was the starting character only that I didn't read this part of the script as my lips was agape."What is going on!" My mind screamed.Could it be? No, it can’t be and I was probably hallucinating.It felt so surreal, it all had taken place so fast that I couldn't process a word before he stormed off out of the room again and for a minute it looked like he hadn't been there in the first place, it was like …I sighed.Several thoughts ran through my mind as I sat up on the bed that I was laying on still looking at the door way.“Are you okay?” the doctor asked, confused. My face expressed shock but co

RAINI.Zavier did make my heart pump so hard that I felt like I was on a damn roller coaster and the fact about it all was that he wasn't even her, yet I could fell his heavy presence all about .It was crazy…It was crazy the way this was turning out.I tossed and turned on my bed unable to fimd sleep wondering why I was feeling this way, it was like I was coming in terms with the obvious.He wasn’t in my dreams, and he wasn’t the first person I thought about when I woke up usually, but as a thunder clasped across the sky in s distance,I could have sworn that he was right there.He did was haunting me.I tucked my hair behind my ear, noticing the warm breeze that briefly drifted into the room, a lightning flashed to my left on the wall and I quickly averted my eyes as if I didn’t see it.It was like he left in there scar.I could feel it burning into my soul, this scar that made me less than perfect, I guess.Tossing again ony bed, I urged myself to get up dipping my forehead i

RAINIAs the light from the sun made its way to the room and blurred through the floor-to-ceiling windows and into my eyes I shielded my eyes —yawning.I blinked at the alarm clock that read Seven a.m. and then rolled onto my back.Fear hit me in the chest for that minute as I thought about what had happened the previous day and how and for a minute I still trembled.The fear in my heart was quickly replacedwith a relief so strong I felt breathless.I had to do something about this…I sat on the side of the bed with my face toward the window, my elbows on myknees, and my gaze out lost in thought.From the mere thought of him, my heart quaked, in a way I was still finding out hard to see if he was really there or perhaps it was just reality and my dream state playing a trick on me.Every cell in my body was filled with desperation, longing, and frustration…The three battling away in my heartWhen I stood up that morning I could still feel that he was actually there, watch

RAINIZavier looked at me for a minute, and it was as though he didn't believe what I just said about killing Trinity.For some reason I couldn't get over the fact that the dandelion mystery was back, in a way that looked most frustrating. Zavier had found the dandelion and came back with it, I could tell that the same person had been after me all this while.All concerns that it had been Giselle were far off from my memory since she had faced the same fate when she was found murdered in her home.Keeping all fingers crossed we had to wait just as he had said there was nothing we could do, then wait out all of this till it was over.All this would have been possible if I didn't get the anonymous call.I turned to look at Zavier who was sleeping and walked away to the bathroom to pick, perhaps I could tell what he was going to say if he listened or I wasn't sure if I could trust him enough just yet ."Hello?" I asked, filled with uncertainty."Hello." River voice came back trembling.I

ZAVIERWe spoke to the detective for more than twenty minutes giving him everything that was needed to find River, for me it wasike going through this ordeals again, the first time had been when I had to deal with Raini getting kidnapped and this was the second.Like the detective had told Bianca and myself there was definitely an insider there was no sign of anyone breaking into her apartment.Raini was obviously tired and perhaps hitting her second trimester was starting to weigh in on her as she was asleep as we walked down the hallway to her room.She was right there still asleep in her bed. I walked into her bedroom and sat in a chair close to the window near the bed.With the whole feeling complicated Iclosed my eyes and just took a moment formyself, taking in much breath as much as I could whole reflecting back on the entire situation.I haven’t had too many of these moments in the last few days, moments where I had to reflect on everything that was happening, the truth was

IRENEIt was still hard to take in and at the moment, my mind was racing at the moment.It was clearly on the wall, I couldn't miss it, not after how long I had stayed there with them. At that moment my mind was In a total mess.I stood right there with my head against his shoulder crying, perhaps if I had come in here a bit quicker I would have been able to save my sister.What I couldn't understand was why they had taken her."What did River say when she called?" He asked.I sniffed.With a shaky breath, I began to tell him about how she had called and why she had left in the first place.I explained why I didn't call him before leaving and everything from how I had felt angry when I got here and found nothing but the house in total mess.There was a lot to talk about and he listened to every bit of it. All I wanted to do was get rid of everything in my chest and get everything out in the open. I didn't hold anything back from him as I felt weak …Too weak." Why did they take her?"

IRENEI drove out of the car park as quickly as I could all that filled my mind while driving past the oak trees that surrounded the thick wood shrouding Zavier's home was the safety for my sister, the thought was heavy on my mind as the more I thought about it, the harder it was for me to comprehend.At the back of my mind was the question asking why she had spoken in such a haste, there was a sound of silence before ending the call and despite trying to get her it was certainly difficult to.I thought about calling Zavier but opted against it in my mind as I continued with my trip…The speed I was driving at was so much that it took the thought of the twins I was carrying to make us reduce the speed.As I drove out of the gates and as I did,II spent the next few hours trying to purge Zavier out of my mind, so I replaced it with other thoughts.Or at least my thought was replaced by the thought of my sister River.I purposely looked at my phone again,keeping her call on redial w

ZAVIER.“Stupid move today, man.” Bianca said to me as she sat on my office couch while looking at my face.She was looking at me,in a manner that seemed so complicated."Where did you say she went to again?" I asked since she was the only one that had been with her all this while.I flicked a glance toward her since she had been the only one with her when she had gone out.We were having a good conversation about how my time with Raini had gone.I rubbed a hand across my smile. “I just assumed that she would want to talk to me after what she did."“You assumed wrong,” she said dryly. “She is a woman, she doesn't care about all of this.""You all are complicated." I said, rolling my eyes.Bianca looked at me laughing "With all the shit you’ve done, and the fact that you lied it would be hard for her to trust you again."I sank a little further into the couch.“Everything I do is premeditated. I think about it —You don't expect that I will not tell her about all of this" I said look

RAINITwo quiet knocks sounded on the door, and I walked toward the door to get it opened.From the conversation I had with Bianca it was obvious I had to talk with him. I had been thinking about going to his room but didn't really have the confidence just before the knock came in.When I saw it was Zavier standing on the other side, I stood straighter at the doorway looking into his eyes.With his hair combed back, in a casual shirt and Jean, his countenance appeared welcoming and breathtaking at the same time.His eyes held my stare as I looked at him, in a way it looked as though it was filledwith cold resonance—perhaps he was still angry about what I had said earlier."Are you busy?" He asked."Yeah, not doing anything now." .Every synapses in my body raced as I stood back and watched him as he walked in.My eyes widened on him. As he walked Into the room making way to the window,he stood right there and looked out of the window.Shutting the door, I sighed deeply as I walke

RAINIBianca wasn't the first to warn me about the woman and now that it made two people tell me, it felt like the universe was screaming out something and I would be a fool not to listen.Trinity made her way back. There was an exchange between the two women as it looked as though she had heard something that was being saidIt looked not too certain that she must have heard her as if in a kind of distance."I have to leave, there is something I have to do."I merely nodded my head as I thought it was better she did before any altercations started up.I never expected that they would get along, Trinity never got along with anyone except me and I guessed it had something to do with me seeing the best in people.I walked with her to the door and after closing it behind her, I turned and smirked at Bianca."What?" She shrugged. "I am just telling you the truth. " You should really look into that girl."I sighed and fell back in my seat. I’d been excited about having her over but it look

RAINI-Everything was building up inside of me and I didn’t know the best way to make myself feel better than to cry.I felt so disappointed in myself for not being as strong as I thought I should be but there was nothing I could do.I wanted the best for my children and the fear that something might happen to them made me lose faith IN myself.I started sobbing, sitting up on the bed because the tears were not just coming, I felt Indulged and very weak to have to break down because of something like this.This wasn’t minor, this was my unborn kids and I was already failing as a mother and even before they were born.Just then I heard a knock on the door interrupting me and I immediately wiped off my tears.I wondered if my tears woke up someone but I didn’t think I was sobbing that loud.“It’s me bianca, I know you’re awake, Raini opens the door.” She said gently from the other side of the door.I stood up and walked over to the door and opened the door for her and she walked in.“Co

RAINI“Is there anything you can do to help me make sure they will be safe?” I asked in a shaky voice.My babies, how could they be in danger when they aren’t even in the world yet?“There is nothing. After using the drugs I think it should all go well but I can’t say.” The doctor said picking up her documents and ready to leave the ward.My heart shattered, I didn't know how I was supposed to react to something like this and why things have to get this complicated for me.I was managing to do everything and being my best for my unborn children but everything seemed to be fine till Zavier came back into our lives.“Are you sure there’s no expensive treatment we can use to make sure they would be safe? You can’t just put us on hold.” Zavier finally said walking ahead to the doctor:I didn’t know how I was supposed to feel about all of this but I knew for certain that any money from now I was going to flare out.“No, at this point after getting the drugs, there is nothing that we can do
