Aria

Everything was still. So still that it felt wrong. That the whole world had stopped moving,all that was in it crashed right before my eyes. And I did nothing. I was capable of nothing.

I heard the doctors leave my room. They were so sure that I was asleep and maybe I was…maybe I was in this dream that I was soon going to wake up from.

When my eyes fluttered open. I starred into space hoping that I would snap out of this illusion and back into reality. But the hard truth was that this was no dream,it was not an illusion…it was the truth.

Cold,bare,raw truth.

I breathed in and out then shit my eyes again. I travelled deep into myself. Tapping into the conscious and the subconscious for anything. Any kind of feeling.

Nothing.

The only thing that was present was the emptiness it outstretched far and beyond threatening to swallow me whole.

I breathed in deeply,as deep as my lung capacity could allow. The air still did not feel enough. I was suffocating under the weight of something

    AlexTurns out Mesta was acquainted to many people than we thought. Liz spread the news of her death because apparently the two were closer than we all imagined.She had also informed us of the father to the child. Mesta had gotten an artificial insemination. Her initial plan was to frame either Mecael or I. None of us know what made her change her mind and come out clean,but she had done it.I was ready to take in the child but my dear brother Mecael had insisted on keeping him. He argued that I was going to take over the business and it would not be safe for the child to be involved.We had all agreed that no human being we bring into this Earth was going to love the way we did. That being said,I agreed to him having the child.The problem came with naming as everyone wanted him to have a name different from the other. We ended up calling her aurora,that ugly name that Mecael had chosen.Liz stepped down from the argument and made me go down with him. She pointed out, actually,she wh

    LoreiSitting across from him in his living room, I push the card in front of him. "That will be enough for you to start your life in another country.""You made me lie to her." His voice thick with sadness."You had to. Aria would not have reacted well knowing you are his real father.""Why?""Because she saw me with another man who was not you." I look down to the card. "Take that and leave so I won't have anything holding me back."He furrowed his brows. "What do you mean anything holding you back? What are you planning,Lorei?" I smiled. "Something that requires no element of weakness. I already took care of our daughter. Now I'm taking care of you." Silence. "Please don't make this hard for me.""What are you going to do?" He asked, his voice holding a familiar edge to it.I sigh as images of us being together and happy crossed my mind. He sighs and slumps his shoulder."You are not going to tell me,are you?" I shake my head. "You know I can help you.""Nice of you to offer but

    Three years later….Mecael"Come on,baby. One more then we go to the park." Aurora pouted and looked away.She had grown up to be a girl with an attitude. A replica of her mother. The apartment we had moved in was so perfect for us two. The space was enough for us to play and do other things.I lifted the spoon to her mouth. "If you have this then you get to pick your outfit." Her eyes shone with excitement."Princess?" Her melodic voice asked."Yes,princess." If Mesta gets to know that her daughter is a sucker for princess things,she would resurrect and come kill me.After that she would put her daughter under training…actually,maybe she would not do that.Maybe she is happy to see how she has developed. How healthy and bubbly she is. A few more months and she will be joining school.My phone beeped. A video call."Hey bubba…" he chirped at the child."Bubba is being bad. She refuses to finish her food.""What are you giving her?"I tilted the bowl towards him. He stuck out his ton

    AlexSilence from my side.Uncertainty from his.The volume of the laptop he was looking at was louder than necessary. Maybe it was because of the fact that none of us was saying anything.I stood leaning against the wall wanting to open the door and leave. He slammed his palms on the table and stood up.He paced up and down running his hand across his face many times that I lost count. Or interest,I lost one of them."How,how is it in the news?" He glared at me as if it was my fault.How am I even involvrd with all of this. I was at home practically doing nothing. The guards came and summoned me. I refused the first three times forcing the old man to make a call himself.He had turned on his gadget and made me watch the news. Something I never did."Explain."My eyebrows shot upwards then a frown settled on my face.What exactly was I supposed to tell him when I knew nothing."It's your stupid girlfriend.""Hey,I've never called your boyfriend stupid. Let's respect each others soulm

    Mecael"Why would you call me at this hour?" I was seated at the bench watching Aurora running up and down."Have you watched the news?""I have zero interest in what is going on in the world.""You won't believe what just happened." He gasped."Does it directly involve me? If not then—""...They were bombed.""That makes perfect sense." I replied heavy on the sarcasm."The shipments were bombed. The plants in the east all burnt down."I caught up. "Um…wow.""I know. It's all over the news." He continued. "The investigations have begun and you won't believe who showed up at Heloriet's office.""Who?""Lorei Martinez. Yes. Your mother in law. She is the one behind it and she promised to take him down. To ruin everything he has built."I chuckled. "Why do I hear excitement in your voice?""Because I am excited!" I held the phone away from my ear. "I thought it was Aria." On our last call,she sounded like a woman out for revenge. She had asked me to be able to forgive her when the time

    HelorietI called him. I gathered all the courage I've packed and called him.I glance at the clock. Turning away I realize I had not registered the time,so I checked again.Only an hour remaining. One hour and he'll be here.After watching the news for more times that usual,I headed to my bedroom. The rest of the time was spent with me in bed feeling pathetic and regretting all my life choices.A knock came and the knob turned."I'm okay now,you can leave." I say under the blankets.I heard his low chuckle as he came closer. The weight shifted on the left side. A soft hand landed on my arm."I saw it.""It's bad but I have dealt with it. You can go.""I need you to look at me.""No."Silence.I sigh and uncover my face. He uses his finger to turn my head into his direction."I'm not crying." I say avoiding his eyes. "Is that's what you are looking for.""How have you dealt with it?"Good question.I had no answer.I sat upright. "Wanna have sex?" I lean in,my hand resting on his th

What a coincidence.The beat my heart was currently playing was faster than any beat I've ever heard in all the music I have come across."I quit drinking." He announces after a long stretch of eyes fixated on each other."Good…I…I'm proud of you."He gave me a beaming smile with the corner of his eyes forming wrinkles. "Yeah." He chuckled. "Thank you."I cleared my throat. "You were with James. Thank you for looking out for him." "He got hurt. I'm sorry about that."I look at James. "Happens to the best of us.""I love his eyes." Of course he loves his eyes. The pairs are exactly the same. James took most of his features,like all of them. The eyes,face,hair,how his lips curl up in a smile.He held the girls hand. "This is Aurora."I smiled as I repeated the name.The bubbly child stepped forward and outstretched her tiny arm to me.I took it."Aurora. I'm a princess."Mesta was pregnant,that much I

She asked me to give her time.I agreed to that and that is why we are here seated on a date.James and Aurora are with their aunt who is also their godmother,Phoebe. Yes,she want it all."Why do you keep looking at me like that?"I smile. "I missed you and I'm happy that we are here like this…together.""I'm glad.""So what do you do nowadays that you gave up on the,you know.""I went into real estate.""Um,wow…I,I'm surprised.""I know.

He even went into modeling and–"She chocked on her food. "Wait. Wait wait wait. You mean Lionne,the Lionne that I know?""Everyone gave that reaction.""But it's good for him.""Yeah…" she was now playing with her food. "You're full." I noted."Mh.""Let's go to your place?"O

    AriaMecael held me until I stopped crying sniveling. Still,I held onto him because I did not want him to go away.I cried because at the end of it all everything had worked out. Not all of it was perfect but it was in place.Like last month the business made a loss but it did not collapse. It stayed and this month I'm certain it will all be better.Just like our lives,bits by bit,it was all falling into place.For the last three months, everything had happened so fast and I couldn't help myself from worrying that it will all fall apart.We had bought a larger apartment where we had room for the kids to run around. Thick walls for mecael and I and a larger kitchen and office for Phoebe.Alex had finally admitted to his feelings. Though he was thrown into a turmoil when Liz proposed out of nowhere,he got after it soon enough and said yes. They had a church wedding which obviously came as a surprise to all of us.None of the boys have visited Heloriet ever since he was taken away. We rec

    Aria"Mom." I yelled as I made my way into the station.Mecael met me halfway. "Babe." I felt his gaze travel past me. "They have gone to get Greg from the airport." He nodded in understanding."Lorei…she."I step past him and charged towards my mother who was screaming about Heloriet being mad.I grabbed her biceps and forced her to stand still facing me. "What do you think you're doing,mother!"Her hands held onto my arms and she shook me frantically. "Aria…Aria..tell them,tell them how he tortured me. How he ran that…that business and forced the drugs down me. Tell them everything."My eyes burned with tears and I could not understand the reason behind them.Maybe it was the fury of watching her act like this. Or the extent of truth her words held.Perhaps it was none of those but the fact that ay the back of my mind I wanted to see her drop dead.It was the feeling of me having to betray the woman who carried me for none months and also took part in my upbringing.But why should

    Aria"How is he?" I asked pacing in the hall. At the same time Mecael asked about the ones who were in the hospital"I don't know. The doctors haven't come out yet." "He's okay,I guess."I stop moving. "You guess?""He keeps on repeating that he did not push them. It's day three,Aria,your mom is not awake and so is the doctor."I sigh and sit. "Can I be honest with you? I feel nothing about this situation. In real sense I feel like they both deserve it. Except for the doctor,he doesn't."He hums from the other side. "I get you babe.""Is Alex with you?""He's supposed to be there by now,also Greg and Lionne are on their way. They are almost landing if I'm not wrong."The door opens. "I'll call you later.""Bye babe. Be safe.""Doctor.""Aria? She is awake.""The man?""His chances of survival are pretty low. But we'll keep you updated.""Then how is she? Can I go in and see her?"He nodded and followed me inside."That's the only thing she's been saying. 'Ill do it. Don't kill me.' S

    Aria"James,Aurora stop running around,you'll fall." I called after them as I picked up the toys they had left all over."Kiiiids." They did not stop. I sigh and place the box of toys down.The front door opens and Phoebe walks on with lots of bag."I'm not against your spending but please limit it.""Hey babe." She pokes her head around. "Aurora,James.""Auntie!" That was Aurora. She came running so fast that I feared she would slip and fall."I told you to not run." I say breaking James speed."Na-na." "Come to me baby." She picks him from me.Looking around. "Where's your husband?"I playfully hit her arm. "He's not my husband. But he's gone to meet with some people,work related."She laughs and guides the kids to the kitchen."Nothing for me?""You have your own money. Spend it before you die."I go to reply but my phone vibrates from the coffee table.She stops moving." Oh you have friends now?""Shut it,Phoebe."A new number. "Hello.""Did I ever tell you I majored in performi

    HelorietMy heart thudded painfully against my chest. Sweat droplets trickled down my face,behind my neck all the way down to my back.I swallowed hard,an action that was painful as well. The temperature in the room seemed to be cold but at the same time I was so hot that I was literally burning up.My knees were on the floor and I remained there,not wanting to tempt Lorei because I was too aware of what she was capabilities.She let out a loud sigh and removed her gloves. She licked up a pair of scissors that was lying on top of the drawer.Snipping it towards me,she said, "Do you want to know what I'm going to do with this?"No. No I did not.Her words scared me but what crepped me out even more was what she was going to do. Stabbing him to death? That would be painful. But he might survive if she happens to stab the less delicate parts,his thigh,for example.I shivered and pushed the thought further away as possible.If I think positive then everything else will be positive.

    Lorei"Hello babe." I greet while sipping my wine."What?" He grumbled from the other side."I'm just checking on you.""I'm not yet dead so I assume you are not done with me."I gasp faking my surprise. "Who says I want to see you six feet under. I want you alive,so alive so that you won't be able to take any more of living.""I've already seen what you have succedes at doing,if that is what you want to confirm."A chuckle escapes my mouth. "I know you've seen it. I mean,I went out of my way to ensure they aired it,I did all that for you.""Geez,thanks.""You're welcome." I place the glass down and get to my feet. I swing slowly to where the other man was seated,tied up on a chair."Are you asleep,Heloriet?""What? No,I am tired.""Don't care." I tap on the man,waking him up. "I have someone who I am sure you'd love to hear from.""Unfortunately,I have no one.""Really? Think again, Heloriet. Think carefully." I speak slowly allowing him to soak in every word and get the weight of it
