GregI hustled into the hospital just as Mecael was gently pushing from Mesta.Wow. The connection the two had was unexplainable. Their relationship very questionable but I was not in a position to talk about how that any longer. I had said enough."How is she?"Mecael turned to me. All color had drained from his face. His body now seemed like an empty vessel."Mecael…""She could be dead." It was Mesta who spoke."Oh Greg," I called my voice filled with pity. I stepped forward and pulled him into my arms. His hands wrapped tightly around me and my man allowed himself to break.He sobbed so hard that he was unable to hold himself up anymore. He slid to the floor and I followed still holding him.He wept in my arms so bitterly that my heart hurt for him.He chocked on his sobs,his fingers groping my shirt.I did not want to tell him that I had talked to him about this.Not one of our conversations passed without me mentioning it to him.Their relationship was going to be the end of th
Warning: Mention of sexual assault.Lorei"You had to go through so much to see me, darling."I snarled. "Don't call me that. And yes,I did go through much to get to you."My brain replayed the scenes of me fighting his men whom he had positioned along the way.He said…"You had to work for it."There. I had to work for seeing him."Now why did you have this strong urge to see me? Miss me so much?"My body shivered. "Don't say such things,Cassius.""Aww. It's been long since I heard someone call me by my first name.' He took a sip of his wine. "It still sounds the same rolling off your tongue.""I'm never moaning it,my friend.""I need you to do something for me."His eyes rested on my face. "What makes you think I'll go out of my way for you?" "Think of it as a chance to reddem yourself." I offered."I don't think I need to.""Yes you do." I spoke immediately after the last syllable rolled out of is mouth. "You owe me big time.""So if I do whatever it is that you want,I'll be forgi
MecaelThe best day of my life.The worst day of my existence.How do kids start their compositions? The day I'll never forget.Yes,it was today.Aria had gotten out of the hospital.We had a moment of silence where we exchanged glances for a whole half an hour. The only word said in two whole hours was "hi" That's how bad it was.How bad it still is.But that woman went out of her way to prepare the…"Happy birthday to you,happy birthday to you…"Birthday function.Amazing.What was not amazing was that my entire family was under the same roof,in the same room.This never ends well.Ever."Earth to Mecael…Earth to–"My attention shifts to Greg who was calling me. I frown. "Aren't you supposed to be on a flight or something?""I postponed ed the trip because you and I need to have a long talk and what day is better than your–"Aria cut him off by clearing her throat."Happy birthday." She raised on her toes and places a ganyle kiss on my cheek."Oh." I say softly."What? Aren't sibli
MecaelMesta got me a gun with a note reading 'You have to get back in the shots.' Yeah. I can't remember the last time I held a gun in my hand,let alone pull the trigger. I set it aside to check the others.Greg,my friend. My soulmate in a way we can't date. The man who never fears to call me out in the open. I open his box,two of them. As expected, the date I'll be starting my therapy sessions,with him. Jokes on him because I did not need therapy. Even if I did,I was not getting one with him. The other one was a bottle with a note saying 'Let this go for a week.' I smile and put it aside. I'll be done with it by the time the sun rises.I put the other boxes away and reach for the one wrapped in red. It was a medium box. I opened it and I was greeted with pink cuffs.*** *** *** *** "I want them personalized." She whined."Yes,princess. We shall get you personalized cuffs."She plopped herself onto the bed lying on her stomach. "When?""Tomorrow.""Today." She insisted. "You are not
AlexThe knock came a second time so I hard no choice but to open.I groaned as I lifted myself from the couch and headed to the door.God help me if they were Jehovah witnesses. Whatever I'd do to them…I hold the knob and breath in deeply…Lord help me.I pull the door open."Um…Aria?" She was standing there with two suitcases and another bag. "What a surprise." It truly was.I was not expecting to hear from her any time soon. I mean,I was the bad guy. I lied to her and hid her mother's ash. Well technically it wasn't her mom but still…"Hello Alex,mind letting me in? It's kind of chilly out here.' She rubbed her palms on her arms."Um…yeah,yeah. Come in."She carried the bag and I followed with the two suitcases."Seems like you are here to stay.""Actually I am not. I'll leave as soon as my next pay comes in"That was a sad news. She just got here and she was already talking of leaving.She continued with what she was saying. "I need your help tracking down someone." She spoke while
Liz Pity.That's what I felt.Thats why I decided to help him out."Of all the places we could meet you had to invite me to your place.""I don't want you to be uncomfortable in public.""Lair. Why would I be uncomfortable. I'm not some five year old kid who happened to pee on their uniform.""You're worse.""Dont tell me you pity me.""Okay. I promise to not tell.""Why did you choose your place?"I sigh in defeat. "I do not want to be seen with you.""Does me lacking a part of my hand bother you that much?"I have never thought about that aspect before till he pointed it out. "You are not disabled on all areas.' My eyes land on his crotch."Lady you have no shame." He says but did not seem bothered. A grin spread on his face. "Let's get down to whatever you sent me out to do."I uncross my legs."Your father is an interesting man.""That's what you found out about him? After all those days?""Chill my guy. So,it happens that your father loved a woman back in the days.""No one us
Aria"You think it's a good idea to bring me along in this territory?" Alex squeaked beside me.'Dont worry,it's okay. No one will hurt you.' And I was not sure I was trying to convince him or myself."Of course."We moved forward led by two guards. They were not harsh with me this time so I assume they are familiar with me."This way." One of them opened the door and we walked in cautiously.My dad had a mind of his own so we could walk in and get greeted with a gun to out heads.I was not ready for such a greeting."Aria." He called pleasantly.He was in the same position I had found him last time. His hair was held up in a messy bun,exactly the way I had mine done.He must tell me about that."Don't you ever leave this place?""Why? You want me to go out and get killed? I'm already facing a crisis and I don't want to add to more.""Who is he?" They asked at the same time."Alex this is the man who lied about being my father."He laughs and slaps his knee. "It was fun to see the loo
Alex"You." Aria said in a harsh tone.I lifted my head to meet my father's eyes."You've finally mastered the courage to look up,haven't you,son?"Our big man seated lifted his head to look at me."Interesting." He said and looked to the front, focusing on the men on the other side.Of all the places I had to meet him it had to be here.I sigh. "Hello father."He doesn't reply. "One of your men killed my most trusted person."Liz? It couldn't be her. Father loved her but she was not the most trusted."It's you." Aria's voice interjected without caring what the old men were trying to discuss.Father's lips tightened. He was going to snap soon because the man hated getting interrupted.Aria walked from where he was standing and charged to the other side. The men cocked their guns but they did not shoot.Her hands grabbed one of the men. He allowed her to pull her forward because Aria did not have the strength to do it without his will.The guy was bulky. Too huge to be considered an av
