Letisha Hearst CarterWhen I entered the lobby, I went to look for my son in the bedroom and smiled after seeing him sleeping soundly there.I squinted my eyes after seeing that he looked dirty as if he was playing outside without me knowing.“Tain, sweetie, wake up, you need to clean yourself before going to sleep.” I gently nudged his shoulders, forcing him to wake up.“H-Huh what? Are we going to run another lap?” Tain asked before yawning, which made me confused.“What do you mean laps, Tain? Have you been running while I was away?” I curiously asked and he nodded.“Yes, Mommy, I joined because I was invited. It was fun, a lot of us were running in the backyard.” Tain smiled before yawning.“And who invited you to do this? I told you to rest, sweetie.” I sounded a little bit annoyed, but he shook his head.“I am perfectly fine, Mommy, I really needed to run, it removed all the soreness I have in my body!” He jumped on the bed while flexing his small muscles.“Vanelope invited me,
Letisha Hearst Carter“Hey, I am here.” I heard his voice. I don’t know why I sprang up to my seat and ran towards them to hug him tightly.It was an immediate action that I didn't know my body was capable of doing. I just know that his mere presence will comfort my panicking well-being.His body became stiff after I did that, but he immediately recovered to hug me tightly before kissing my forehead gently.“He is going to be alright, okay?” I heard him whisper sweet nothings to me that all I could do was nod.Sebastian asked me to sit with him in the lobby. That is the only time I took a good look at how he looks right now.He looks like he is lacking sleep but he still looks presentable. There are bags underneath his eyes but his facial features ate it all up.Exhaustion was also visible on his face, he could’ve gone after changing into comfortable clothing, yet he came here for us first.I could feel my heart flattering because of what he did, it reassures me that no matter what tr
Letisha Hearst Carter “Today is the day, Mommy!” I heard my son scream, forcing my eyes open wide before rubbing them. The sunlight was too bright. “T-Today is what, sweetie? Are you feeling better now?” I curiously asked before approaching him and he nodded. “Yes! I am feeling my best right now, Mommy, I want to attend the fashion show! I want Sebastian to see how much I have improved!” He cheered brightly. Tain looked like he is in his best shape, but I am still wary that it might happen again, his stomach churning and him in unbearable pain. I flinched when someone pinched my arms, “She will allow you to go, we will go there right now, what time is it again?”“Around one in the afternoon! It’s six in the morning right now, we have time to prepare!” Tain clapped his hands in excitement. “But Sebastian, his stomach might hurt again while he is modeling.” I worriedly told him, but he shook his head. “I promise you that he is in his best shape right now, I asked the doctors, he
Letisha Hearst Carter As I went to grab some coffee from the vending machine, my mind wandered to Tain's outfit for the day. Curiosity got the best of me, so I decided to swing by the dressing room to take a quick peek. Balancing three steaming cups of coffee, I entered the dressing room only to find myself frozen in shock. There stood Venus Peralta, intentionally sabotaging my son's outfit right before my eyes. “What do you think you are doing?” I raised my tone. I wanted to lash out at what she did but tried so hard to be calm. She had a scissor on her hands, numerous shredded outfits were on the floor. She made it obvious that she had messed with it. Venus Peralta smiled mischievously as if she was expecting that question from me, “Ah, Letisha, you are here. I am glad that you are.” “I wanted you to witness the downfall of your child because you humiliated and ruined my reputation in the media!” She furiously screamed, “I worked so hard to get to where I am right now and you
Letisha Hearst Carter “Mommy, where is Sebast—daddy?” Tain curiously asked while we were waiting for Cyrus in the lobby of the company. “He went away somewhere I don’t know, but rest assured that he is safe,” I told him while smiling. My son doesn’t have any emotions plastered on his face, “Mommy, why did you lie to me?” I heard him ask. “W-We will talk about that at home. I promise you, I will explain.” I sighed deeply, but he didn’t say anything but nod. After receiving a text from Cyrus that he was outside, we both decided to walk toward the main exit. I was about to hold his hands when he shoved them away. “I-I’m sorry, Mommy, I don’t want to be close to everyone right now.” He whispered solemnly before approaching the car. I felt my heart shatter after he did and said those words. Tears almost fell into my eyes before I decided to follow him. Cyrus smiled at us after we had settled on the back, “I heard you were great, Tain, did you enjoy today?” “I-I did have fun, than
Sebastian Arlhout CarterI managed to slip away from the bustling crowd effortlessly, but my stress levels are skyrocketing. What on earth am I going to do now? This predicament is massive.Now that they're here, I have no choice but to immediately disclose the purpose of their visit – they've come to determine if she is capable of leading.Even though my trusted advisors have already informed me that she is qualified, the ones who reside in this mansion, we still need unanimous agreement from everyone else.I already know from the very beginning that my wife is capable of leading this clan. She is bright and strong. The problem is, will she want to lead a clan knowing what their identities were? I breathed heavily.“Alpha! I told you this is going to be a problem.” Vanelope approached me before crossing her arms against her chest.Like two mini mountains, her eyebrows formed a worried ridge on her forehead, painting a picture of stress that words couldn't capture.“I already know tha
Sebastian Arlhout Carter “Alpha, I think she is slowly recovering, I heard she took a bath today,” Vanelope informed me inside my study room. I stopped skimming some papers before standing up, “I will go to her right now.” I left all my papers on my desk and sprinted to her room. In the depths of my being, I sensed a profound change as I finished the sacred rite, an enchantment only we supernaturals could perform. It was as if a dormant power had awakened within me, infusing my every fiber with newfound strength. But now, a new challenge lies before me: how can I regain her trust after deceiving her? I can't bear the thought of her leaving me. So, I'm prepared to face any obstacles she throws my way, willing to accept whatever she demands from me. Love knows no bounds, and I'm determined to prove my sincerity to win her heart once more. I halted my sprint after arriving at my room. Tain is also there, he has been sleeping with his mother ever since she was not feeling well. So
Letisha Hearst CarterAfter all the things that I heard. I wanted some alone time with myself, “You can go now, Sebastian, thank you for telling me.” I could feel him looking at me while I was trying so hard to avoid his gaze. I have to process everything, especially if I could trust him or anyone again.“Tisha please don’t leave me, I will make it up to you and I won’t hurt you both.” He clenched his fists on my periphery. I don’t think that he would hurt me or my son for no reason at all.“Maybe this is why Tain is growing fast compared to normal children, something is running from his genes.” I claimed, but he shook his head.“He is smart enough because he likes to read and explore. You taught him how to be a bright kid by reading and learning on his own and there might be advanced growth spurts.” He told me.I didn’t say anything but I sprang up to my seat before pacing towards the door to open it wide, “You may leave, I need to have time to think about this.”Surprisingly, he di
