AlexI was ready to fight anyone who would have tried to lay hands on her. Luckily Aria saved me all that trouble by agreeing to the wedding idea.I was more shocked than anyone else in the room.When I asked her about it she shrugged and said, "Let's just say I hate you but not as much as I hate bloodshed."My heart did twenty flips.Then she added,"but you'll need to treat me like a lady first. No running away when shit goes bad."Of course. That I could do.I heard the door opening and rush to welcome her home.I gasp. "Aria!" "Yes,I'm drenched.""I honestly didn't hear it rain.""Because it didn't. This woman was stuck in her bathroom when I had already changed,guess who she called?""You?" I watched as she took off her jacket and handed it to me."Exactly. Now I'll have to shower." She managed to strain a smile."I made dinner.' I informed her as she walked past me."Oh thank you darling." She was not going to eat it.Her feet came to a stop. "I am going to eat. I'm not hungry
AriaI felt like there were strings in my heart pulling them at all directions. The tug of war going on kept me up all night.Every time I closed my eyes the image of Alex and his stupid erection came to mind. That was pure torture to my brain,my heart and my conscience. Not wanting to see the picture,I kept my eyes wide open till they hurt. I blinked and continued.The clock flashed twelve.I flipped to lie on my belly. Fuck my life because it's only midnight. I scrolled through my phone to see a text from my stupid manager. But the text itself was not stupid because it read that I was not going to work in the morning.My shift has been shifted to night. I stuff my face onto the pillow and scream into it. Staying up has never been my thing. Now I have to stay awake to serve people who did not give two hoots about what your life was like. Whether you woke up with a smile or to a grieving news. All they care about is themselves.I groan one more time before pushing myseld to a sittin
MecaelI needed a drink. Lots and lots of drinks. Probably a whole barrel.The information bombarded on me was not too much but it was still exhausting. And of late, everything exhausts me.I made my way to the club at ten pm. A slow drive and stopping several times I got there at eleven.No plans were made for taking down a sub or a switch for that fact. I had zero intentions of going up to the other area. My main goal here was to drink. That and that alone.I headed to the bar and handed out my credit card. After having drinks that could get Greg to bring his ass back here,I finally turned to the dancefloor. Not that I had any intention of dancing,there's always something pleasing with watching people move their body. And I'm not talking sexually pleasing. Then my eyes fell on her. The epitome of beauty. Grace and class mixed in the perfect ratio. She was in a black dress. It did not tight her body allowing her to do the craziest moves. I loved her confidence.Her hair was let dow
MecaelShe pulled the same strings she had pulled last time on Lionne and it had worked. She said she needed to go to the bathroom. I let her because she has a tiny bladder.She took perfect advantage of the situation and got away from me. I raked my fingers through my hair pushing it back.I should call her,wait,I had tried that several times. She didn't pick up until finally her phone was switched off."Uuuurhg!" The people around me gave me judgmental glances but I did not care.My chest rose and fell as I tried real hard to keep my anger in check. Of course I was mad. She left,just like that. What if something happens to her and she ends up like last time.I called my brother because at moments of despair,you make choices you won't normally do. I requested,as the good person I am for him to be alert for I am not able to reach Aria.If I failed to get to her soon then we are starting a search. The next terrible choice I made was calling Mesta and asking for the same. She agreed wit
AriaI rubbed my eyes before opening them. The room I was in was dimly lit. It was huge,kind of Mecael's room but it smelt of flowers and I knew who's place I was at.My body screamed at me when I tried to move so I settled for staying still.The door clicked and I heard the sound of heels against the floor. Yap. Another confirmation of who had entered."Hello mother." I said keeping my voice dry. After all those years now is the time she seems it appropriate to show herself. She owed me a lot but most of all,an apology.She had to apologize for the pain she caused,the money I used on burying someone who is alive. It was not my money but Mecael is my husband,was my husband,and whatever is his is mine as well.The times I broke down thinking –"I'm glad to know that you can recognize me without seeing my face." Her tone was not any better than mine.I plopped myself to a sitting position ignoring my body's pleas to not move."You're becoming more reckless,I see." Light filled the roo
AriaMy boss is going to fire me. On normal days,that would never have scared me. On days I know I'm carrying a child,that took my mind on a spin.If I loose thxusinat job then I'd end up having to look for another job. I lack connections so that was going to take some time. My luck is terrible meaning I can't rely on it.The Uber came to a stop and I rushed out. With my ego,I refused any help coming from my mom. After slamming the door on her face and refusing to listen to anything she says,I refused her ride and clothes as well.Whatever she wanted to explain about my father she better tried next time. Probably after I have confirmed the pregnancy thing. How could she knows,she was only a mother for like six years before she disappeared."He's in his office." My favorite workmate informed me when I rushed into the kitchen.I sighed and rushed to the guys office ready for a serious session of roasting. I swalloer and knocked.Then,I waited.Nothing.I knocked again not stepping back
MestaNature had sent us all to our father's office. I believe we each had different intentions. I got in last to find my brothers fuming. They were both standing so I went with the option of sitting.Mecael was next to the door, leaning on the wall with his arms crossed. His face was stern. Alex was the one close to father's desk.I scanned each of them waiting for one to break the silence.Father leaned back on his chair. He looked at Mecael then at Alex."I don't have all day,you know.""We have all day." Alex said.Mecael clears his throat. "Actually,we don't. At least,I don't.""Get to the point then." "You are not our father." Mecael stated plainly from where he was.The room fell into deep silence that I could hear my own breathing followed by the heartbeats. My eyes went wide as I changed my posture to face Mecael directly."W-what did you say?" I asked blinking once.He pointed a finger at Mecael. "He is not our father.""You should be very careful with what you say,Mecael.
MecaelMy eyes met hers. I dropped my hands from her shoulder letting the dangle at my sides."You did that?" I asked her focusing all my attention on her.She had to admit it for me to believe it.She stepped forward holding on to my bicep. "Mecael….I….I love you. I've always loved you."I pushed her away from me. She stumbled back but did not fall. Her hair covered her face,some strands sticking. She pushed hair away from her face and turned to me."I swear on my life I did it for you.""Your life is already pathetic enough." I said coldly. "And I don't need you to swear. Yes or no?"Mr. Heloriet cackled as he made his way from his chair to us. He tsked then said,"isn't it incredible? She killed your mother because she loved you."My eyes shot to him. "Ah don't look at your father like that."I shifted my gaze to Mesta. I'd have to deal with him later."I'm sorry, Mecael." She wiped her tears and stood upright. Her shoulders rolled back and she raised her eyes to meet mine.I wait
