Is it about the question I asked? Yoh…Do you have someone in mind?” I turned to look at Micca and seeing her mischievous look, I knew she would tease me with this for a long time.

~Adams Pov~ I climb down the stairs fast-paced and it can be seen how angry I am at the moment from my face that says keep off. “Had a hard time talking with Uncle Nart?” I looked up when I heard the voice of Micca. I shook my head and looked at her deeply until she rolled her eyes in annoyance and glared at me with eyes filled with venom. I laughed softly and then patted her hair, scattering the hairstyle she had on which made her slap my palm angrily. “Micca!” I called out in a serious note, and when she turned to look at me, “If my parents talk nonsense with you, don't bother giving them a face and tell them your decision. You don't need to think of respect and all. Reject them with peace of mind, okay?!” I said clearly. She looked at me with a confused look then turned to look up, and when I followed her glance I saw my dad also descending the stairs.

~Merina Pov ~The smile on my face remained as I looked calmly at my father’s confused face, then I pressed the play button and watched their face turn dark and pale on hearing the words of Sofia. Her words were devious and filled with wickedness. The recordings turned off on their own after playing and the room became so silent, I watched my stepmom’s face become pale as she turned to look at my dad, and I knew she was planning to say something to clear it off like she used to. My eyes were filled with mockery as I watched Sofia back away from my father’s body and then nervousness looked at him. My father looked at Sofia with a dark face, then gritted his teeth, “Is it true?” He asked with a cold voice.“Dad…I-I was just threatening her by telling them to do so. I didn't mean to let them hurt her!” Sofia denied as she waved her hands shaking with fear.My lips curled up in a mocking smile, “Do you know what I can do with this record?”I asked.

~Merina Pov~I stepped inside the house, the envelope clutched so tightly in my hand that its corners pierced through my palm. My breaths came out shallow and quick. My mood was so low that even now I could not force a false smile; the weight of the diagnosis felt like a stone pressed against my chest. I was so afraid.I had replayed this moment in my head a thousand times of how I would ask-how maybe, just maybe- they would care enough to help save me. But they would, wouldn't they? It's just a little money right? I had made more than that for this family.The low hum of laughter came from the living room—so warm, so carefree that I had to stop walking. I frowned. "Are we celebrating something?" I muttered to myself. The house had that kind of happiness a few times over the past years, though it had not let me in. Stepping inside, what I saw with my eyes made my breath rub right out of my chest. Never was I ever that shocked in my entire life. I really did, during that instance

~Merina Pov~The cold night air folded itself around me like a permanent grasp as I walked aimlessly through empty streets. My chest hurt, my breaths were shallow, and each step seemed to have become a task of greater effort to take. I held the test result in my hand, but it had been crumpled so badly. My mind was at a gallop with a thousand questions, none of which I had answers to.How had things come to this? How had my life fallen so utterly apart?Memories came rushing back, uninvited and merciless. I was such a bright and carefree kid who loved singing my heart out and the only encouragement I needed was my mother's warm smile. I had won little awards for singing and playing the piano, for just about anything of merit. As I grew up, the world seemed full of possibilities.But then, my mom got sick. I still remember how weak she held my hand and the whispered promises that it was all going to be alright. But it wasn't. She died. And With her went all light from my world, or

And her mentioning this now shows she wants to know what I think but I don't know. I pulsed my lips and looked at her helplessly, how can I explain to her? “You know you can explain simply?

It was almost night and Adams hadn't returned but then I knew he was a busy man and would have a lot to do at his office. He had wasted a lot of time here with me and I felt guilty about it. Even with my slow pace, I finished eating my food then packed the plate and arranged the table so as not to give the nurses more jobs to do by messing up this place.“Creak!” I looked up when I heard the sound of the door opening, then I watched as Adams walked in quietly and when he looked up and saw me, he looked surprised which got me a bit confused. “You aren't sleeping?” He asked then relaxed before walking towards me with a smile on his face.I smiled at him and seeing him brought peace to me, “No, just finished having dinner, have you eaten?

I have been indoors since I came home and was too scared to go outside even when I gathered all the confidence I could gather.I fear that I would be caught after going outside. No matter how much I felt that man should be mine, I couldn't help but fear him. I could remember his fierce red eyes that looked like he could kill everyone there. I do not doubt that if he had seen me, I Would have been dead now. I felt bored just sitting at home doing nothing but then I had no choice, besides, Mom had gone out early this morning saying she was going to meet someone which I guessed was the man she talked to on the phone. I frowned then stood up to go down the stairs as I couldn't keep lying down in my room doing nothing. I took my phone and walked down the stairs.
