Mecael

The weather contradicted the whole atmosphere. Mr. Nikar had a long face. His eyes were droopy and he had dark circles around his eyes. I did not miss how his fingers tremoured when he lifted them while describing something.

Aria joined me where I was talking with Mr. Nikar. Her eyes were puffy from all the crying she has been doing. The bags under her eyes were dangerously heavy.

She was in a black dress and strapless heels. Yes,she mentioned the names of her shoes and clothes everyday before wearing them. Sadly today she did not say the name of the dress. Everyone else was also in black.

I smiled as a way of comfort.

"Thank you for coming with me."

"Oh darling…" it was a two persons journey. Though I could not feel all her emotions,I could sit with her through it.

The funeral was held at her place. The father wanted to be able to visit the grave each morning and every night. His home was the perfect place for that. Aria agreed to it out of the love he believed her father

    MecaelThe door to the training room beeped. Alex walked in with…"Are those…swords?" I asked biting back a laugh.He raised his eyebrows polinting to the corner father stood in."Who even uses a sword in a fight nowadays?" He smirks and shrugs nonchalantly.loved how easy going he was but most of the times the trait only pissed me off."You are not here to catch up." The impatient voice thundered across the room. Father had a problem with everything and if there was none then be ncertain he was going to find it.Mesta rolls her eyes and sighs. "Let's train." She pulls out both her knives. She spins them in her hands as she got into stance. Alex draws his swords over his head and brings them down pointing at me. "Okay,so I'm the only one who was forced to train on fists?" I asked as I threw father a nasty glare. He meets my eye challenging me to question him.I don't. It was going to be a worthless fight. "Let's train." I bend my knees dropping into a law squat. My torso retained

    AriaI pulled away gasping for air."You are hurt." The statement was enough to explain everything considering the direction he wanted us to follow."I can handle myself." His hand was well bandaged. The bleeding had long stopped. But the wound still remained. Anything rough and it might open up."Not right now.""Really?" He moved closer to me. He kissed my cheeks and went lower for my weak spot. He nuzzled on my neck."Tell me to stop when you want me to,I'll stop." He licked on my earlobe. I shivered.My hands rested on his thighs. My brain told me to pull away because he was hurt. My body wanted more closure,more touch,more of him. "Mecael…" I called and immediately forgot what I was going to say when he lightly bit on the area my neck met my shoulder."I know you want this." His voice was low and husky. "You've been begging for it since we travelled the world.""Please…" I whimpered."Please what?" I bit my lower lips and closed my eyes. "Please…please just–just fuck me…use me"

    Mecael"Is that why you called me at this hour?" I sate groggily. I was tired and sleepy and my father had to send someone to come get me."I obviously did not call you for a midnight snack,son." He snapped. "So,you will leave at exactly six.""No!" He raised his eyebrow waiting for an explanation. "I have a wife I need to take care of…""I knew she would be a burden. They always are."I ignored him."It won't be appealing to her when she wakes up and finds me gone.""I remember expressing my lack of care clearly to you."This was useless. I turn and head back to my room. No way I was going to leave Aria alone after the session. I had pushed her and I know she was soon going to crush. Perhaps the sleep helped a little. I got in bed beside her. I closed my eyes trying to sleep but my mind kept wondering. Father wanted us to go get a chip. It contained every single detail about the Italian Mafia. Their transactions,members,the authority they had control over,shipments and every othe

    Mesta"What the fuck do you think you are doing,Mecael?" I screamed at him. His fingers were pressing in Alex' throat. Alex eyes were bloodshot and teary. He looked like he was going to collapse any second from now. Mecael's eyes never left his. His breathing was heavy. Veins appeared on his forehead and his arms. Alex breathing was growing shallow. His grip on Mecael's hands grew weak till they finally dropped by his side. "Leave him alone!" I pushed against him. He did not budge."You're going to kill him,Mecael!" Whatever the two had was huge and I should not go in between it but…killing him was another deal.Alex eyes flutters. That was enough. I was forced to give Mecael a high kick. He did not move. I spun around to throw another kick. Aria was standing at the door starring in shock."Mecael!" She screamed but did not move.Mecael pushed Alex away. He fell a distance away from him. He curled himself in an attempt to get further away. His hand rubbed around his neck as he

    AriaMecael snorts. "It all makes sense now. It makes perfect sense.""Yes brother,go ahead and work out the math." Alex cheered on him."Alex you're not helping!" Mesta had her arms crossed,her foot tapping on the floor."Not trying to."I let out a low sigh. I dressed up for this. To come witness the brothers fighting."When they were talking about having someone on there side. It was you all along." Mecael spoke lowly. It seemed he could not bring himself to believe the words he was saying. To accept that his brother was one with their enemy."Correct." Alex replied without a care."You are a fucking asshole." Mecael lifts him up and hits him on the wall and let's go of him."I have a whole organization I'm running.""Is that what he fixated on your mind?""What?""The man your right hand. Is that what he made you believe? That you are in charge? In command?"Alex hesitates. "Because I am.""Bullshit. Liz is the one who is second in command. And if his brother happens to accept his

    Third povMecael stood in the room. He squinted his eyes trying to make out any figure lurking around. His long hair stuck to his face because of the sweat. His hand shook that he was almost dropping the gun in his grip.The lights flash. He closes his eyes and takes time to adjust to the light. When he opened them,he saw her. Infront of him on her knees. She was blindfolded with scars all over her body. Blood had dried on her wounds and some looked fresh.Mecael gasped. He turned to make a run for it before the cold voice stopped him. "Don't be stupid kiddo." His father, Mr. Heloriet warned him. "I…I can't…she…" he failed at forming coherent sentences. His father glared at him disapprovingly. He sized him and spat beside him. "You want to be like me? Go on,do it." It wasn't something to negotiate about but rather an order."Remove the blindfold!" He ordered harshly.A man ran from behind his father to where the woman was kneeling. He pulled away the blindfold. Mecael's green ey

    Mecael"Noted." I hung up and clench the phone tightly in my hand. I starred at the wall feeling the anger rise in my system.I throw my phone at the wall and rush out the room. I yank the door to Mesta's room open. She was just coming from the bathroom all wrapped up in towels.I charge towards her. My fingers wrap tightly around her neck."Wow. You're really a fan of choking babe." She teased.I applied more pressure till she chocked. Her hands held mine."You did it!" I gritted out.Her eyes met mine. She forced a grin."Fucking Mesta!" I pushed her away towards the bed. She fell on it, her towels came off but she did not bother to cover herself.I kept my eyes on her face."You're the one who killed your brother,Mecael. I did nothing." She pulled herself up to a sitting position."Of course you did nothing." I take my hands through my hair,turn around and spin back to face her. "You pulled that trigger."Her breathing visibly hitched. I watched her closely, waiting for her to den

    AriaThe guard pushed me forward. I stumbled and glared back at him. This was a new territory and I was not going to run my mouth recklessly.A silk material went round my eyes. I blinked at the first hour but have up afterwards. My hands were tied behind my back so I won't be able to run fast. Also preventing me from removing the blindfold.I lost count on the number of turns we had taken. I shuffled my feet slowly hoping for us to get to whoever we were going to soon.Alex had given me a card. Nothing was written on it except for two letters. A.N were caligraphed with such expertise. I was picked up by four men at the place I was waiting. I wanted Mecael to come with me but she refused. He explained how the two groups did not relate. Them meeting would end up in bloodshed. I was not up for that so I was forced to leave him behind.I heard a loud beeping followed by heavy metal clanking. The guard pushed me in. I made a mental note to get back at him. How dare he push a sophisticate

    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

    MecaelShe had said no to us moving in together. Well,it was not a direct no. 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. Greg was the one who helped me as he has a social life. Him moving also worked for my best.""I see." She drunk her wine. "How is Lionne, haven't talked to him for a while.""The boy is flourishing. 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

    AriaAin't no way.After years of not seeing each other we meet casually at a park. 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

    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
