Sister
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56"Leukemia?" Allison asked the doctor in front of her with dread written in her face. Her little sister is lying unconscious on the hospital bed.
Kylie's health has been deteriorating since the past few months and they have been trying their best to manage it.
But everything went south yesterday when Kylie suddenly lost consciousness. The doctor had told her yesterday that she's in a coma. Now he's telling her that she has leukemia
"I'm sorry miss Brown but we have to commence treatment as soon as possible. She still has high chance of survival..."
"survival?" Allison cut him off. "What do you mean? Is her life in danger?" What is he talking about? No, this can't be happening. What is she going to do?
"She has leukemia, of course her life is in danger. But she can still be treated, as far as we commence the treatment soon, we can avoid the risk." the doctor said calmly.
"How... how much is it gonna cost" she managed to ask, dreading the next word that he is going to say. She didn't know much about leukemia but she knows that it's going to be expensive.
"One hundred and fifty thousand dollars" The doctor said
"One hundred and fifty thousand what?" She asked with wide eyes.
" I'm sorry miss"
"When do you expect me to pay?"
"As soon as possible. It's best to commence treatment now that she is still in the early stages?"
"But...but I don't have that kind of money."
"We are trying to help her the best way we can but she is not responding positively so I suggest that she undergo
chemotherapy." The doctor explained calmly. He turned to leave when Allison pulled him a little by his hand.
"Doctor do you have any idea how it feels to see the person you care most about fighting for her life? You have a family right? A wife, children, you have siblings right? What if they are terminally ill, what would you do?" She asked, tears blurring her sight, her heart drumming erratically in her chest, her body dripping with sweat.
The doctor remained quiet for a while.
"You will do something right? You will find a way. You can't let your loved one die before your eyes right?" she asked in anticipation, hoping that he will take pity on her.
"Miss Brown..."
"Doctor please, Kylie is my only sister. Infact she is my only family. She is the one I live for. Doctor... please... help me." She begged, her last sentence coming out as silent sobs.
"We will try our best to help her. Hopefully we can sustain her but if she doesn't respond, we will have no choice but to commence chemotherapy. I'm really sorry." the doctor patted her back and went outside the ward.
Allison slumped weakly on the chair beside her looking at her unconscious sister. She and Kylie has always been close, they are all each other have anyway.
Kylie has always been Allison's driving force in life, she would have given up on life a long time ago if it wasn't for her baby sister. Without Kylie, nothing made sense, she loved her and she would do everything for her. Kylie is a sweet soul, cheerful and loved by many. she doesn't deserve this.
She moved her chair forward, closer to Kylie's bed
"Hey sis" she began, tears streaming down her face.
"The doctor said you have leukemia and we need one hundred and fifty thousand dollars for your treatment and we also need to act fast. I honestly don't know where to get that kind of money but I know that I can't let you die. You are all I have you know" She lifted her hands to clean her teary eyes but the tears didn't stop pouring.
"I promise to do everything I can to save you, just be strong for me okay. Hold on sis, I know you are strong"
She stood up and kissed Kylie's forehead.
She couldn't help but remember everything that they have gone through together. Their parents died years ago, leaving her alone to take care of herself and her sister.
Fortunately for her, her father had a bar and she had taken over it after his demise. It was a huge struggle at first but anytime she thinks of her sister, she gets motivated.
She also thought of all the good times they have had. They didn't have much but they were contented and happy. Kylie is a free spirit and she find it impossible not to be happy around her. Even on her bad days, her sister always has a way to uplift her mood.
Everything was going well even though she felt she wasn't really living. For years she felt empty inside, she felt like she was just existing. Her daily routine is to wake up every morning and do her chores then go to work. When she comes back, she talk with her sister and sleep. She can count how many she has gone out to have fun that year in one hand. And even those times, someone always have to drag her along.
A bitter smile appeared on her lips as she recalled. Yes, she could say that the only reason she hasn't given up, the only reason she is still holding on tightly is because of her sister. A tear drop fell from her eyes and she lifted her hand to wipe it away. She blinked to stop more tears from pouring.
Then she looked down at her sister.
"I love you sis." she smiled. "I just can't wait for you to get up from here and come home with me." She held her hands, they seem cold.
"I need to leave now. You know, I need to look for money for your treatment. I will come check on you later"
She stood up, wiped her face and told herself that she needs to be strong.
After she was sure that her eyes are not red anymore, she walked to the door, gave her sister one last look and left.

Allison lay on her bed all day thinking of ways to raise money for her sister. She has been applying for different jobs and has gone for some interview. She will be having another interview in the next hour and she really hoped to get this particular job because the pay is high. Before now, she has not thought of applying for a job because she was very okay with running her bar, but now she needs money anyhow she can find it. She groaned in exhaustion then stretched her hand lazily to pick up her phone from the small table just beside her bed to call Kenny."Hey Kenny." She began. She knows that she is about to get scolded. "I won't be around for the next two hours." she said tiredly."Another interview?" Kenny asked weakly from the other side of the phone."um...yup""I think you are doing too much Ally, if you continue like this, you are going to end up in the hospital yourself."Allison runs a bar and Kenny is her manager. over the years, they have developed some sort of friendshi

He has had a lot of women over the years but was never committed to any. Infact he doesn't see anything special in any woman, he just keeps them for sexual purposes."You may leave." he said to the receptionist without raising his head."Yes sir." she bowed her head a little and left."How may I help you?" he asked, still not looking at her."umm... I'm... I applied for the job of the assistant secretary". Allison stammered out nervously.Calvin closed his laptop and lazily looked up at her. He felt entranced for a moment, he could swear that she's the most beautiful girl that he has ever seen. He paused and looked at her from top to bottom mentally taking in all her features. He has always had a thing for beautiful ladies and this one is just his type."And what made you think that you are qualified?" he asked staring intently at her."um... sir..."

Allison thought she heard him wrong"What?"She had expected him to say something like that but she didn't expect him to use those very words.What does he mean by 'mine'?"I don't like repeating myself miss brown. I said be mine. I will give you twice the money you need". he said, his face void of any emotion."You want me to be your girlfriend?" Maybe it wouldn't be that bad anyway. Not that she wanted to be his girlfriend, but she will agree to it without blinking if it means saving her sister."No! I want you to be mine!" he growled"what do you mean by 'yours'? your wife?" She asked, staring at him in horror. Being a girlfriend was one thing, but a wife? She is not sure she can do that."Hell no!" she released the breath that she didn't know she was holding. "Be mine. be my possession. I want to own you". he sounded like he was loosing his patience."But I'm a person, not an object" She felt so angry. She has never been this insulted.

She was still scared but she was hopeful.Allison entered Kylie's ward without the usual moodiness on her face. She even seemed brighter."Hey Kylie. I finally got the money for your treatment. I told you I would" She smiled a little."Just be strong for me okay and wake up soon" Allison sat down and she finally felt all her exhaustion telling on her. In a few minutes, she drifted to sleep.Allison woke up in her bedroom the next morning, got ready and decided to meet with her friend.

Allison has been standing in front of Calvin's mansion since the last ten minutes hesitating to ring the doorbell. She doesn't know what to expect. She thought she had gathered enough courage but it seems it's going to be harder than she thinks. She had managed to get through the gate with the help of the securities there. They let her in because they were expecting her.After a few more minutes, she managed to muster a little courage and rang the bell. 'Here goes nothing' she said in her head.The door was opened almost immediately by a woman who looked like she was in her mid forties."You must be miss Allison Brown, I'm Ellie, the boss asked me to attend to you. It's a pleasure meeting you". She said with a smile."It's a pleasure meeting you too Ellie.""Come in." The woman gestured to her to enter inside with her hand.Allison tried to carry her bags with her but was stopped."ow! you don't have to do that, the maids will do it for you"."O.. okay" She awkwardly dropped the bag

Allison stood unmoving. Her legs felt heavy all of a sudden, the way he was looking at her sent shivers running down her spine. Was she scared? She thinks so. "Allison". She heard him call again. "I said come here." he called firmly and in a threatening tone. She managed to move her feet forward reluctantly. She stopped a few centimeters from his bed."Move closer Allison." He commanded and she took a step forward."Closer". She took another stepCalvin reluctantly got from his bed and walked to stand right before her."You are testing my patience Allison." The look on his face made her think that he wasn't in a good mood. Well it shouldn't be surprising. He is a devil after all.He walked towards her and yanked her arm violently. She flinched from the pain of the tight grip but he didn't loosen his hold."Why are you daring me?" he asked menacingly. "Or do you want to get me angry?"So he wasn't angry.Allison remained quiet."Don't keep me quiet Allison."She looked up at him. What

Allison sat on her bed deeply lost in thought. She thought of the world and how to was so cruel. If only she wasn't poor, if only Kylie didn't have leukemia at all, she wouldn't be here. She wouldn't be reduced to this level.His words kept echoing in her head. 'I own you.' Fuck! Who the hell does he think he is? Does he actually enjoy seeing people in pain? He didn't sleep with her like she had expected, but he humiliated her. Allison has always had high self esteem, she respect herself thereby earning respect from others. She has always worked her to fend for herself and her sister without depending on any man. She even graduated college without financial assistance from anybody. She even had money saved up for Kylie to go to college. This is the first time she had someone assist her financially and she had to pay with her dignity. It hurts her so much but she she didn't have much choice. It will all be worth it when she sees Kylie standing on her feet and laughing again. She rea

Trapped in her love End of the tale
Calvin stared at Jerry, trying his best to appear friendly. He kept reminding himself that his grandmother was there. Allison didn't look alright, and he could already guess Jerry had something to do with it. Even though his gaze at Jerry wasn't hostile, there was clear warning in his eyes. He quickly led Allison away. "Oh I didn't tell you how much my grandsons are in love with their wives. You need to see Calvin when the Allison is experiencing the slightest discomfort. Love is indeed a beautiful thing." Grandma said to the uncomfortable Jerry. Jerry smiled and nodded his head. "It hasn't been up to a month since Delia and Leo got married. I wish we had met you earlier, you would have attended the wedding. It was beautiful." "We really would have wanted you there." Delia said, and grandma beamed, failing to see the sarcasm. "Jerry the whole family loves you already. It's really going to be a wonderful week." Grandma exclaimed. A week? A whole week of staying together with them?
Trapped in her love Dinner or disaster?
Four days later, the members of the Bruce family began to arrive the mansion. Aunt Margaret and her new boyfriend were the first to come.All the while, Jerry had been dying in nervousness. Grandma had begged him to stay in the mansion with her, and he was forced to oblige. During their stay, he had learnt more about the family than he knew.He had asked to know what happened between Calvin and their father. The woman was reluctant to tell him at first, but when she became very comfortable with him, it slipped. He was beyond shocked and disappointed to find out that his father had killed Calvin's mother. He felt so betrayed and angry, but one couldn't release their anger on the dead.Aunt Margaret introduced her boyfriend to Jerry. She also told him that she has a son and a daughter, and that they would also be coming.They chatted, whiling away time before Naomi and Sasha came. Both girls slumped on one of the living room's couches. By then, grandma had gone to her room to have her n

Calvin brought a doctor to the house to check if Allison is pregnant as he promised her the previous day. The both of them were on their toes the whole time as the doctor took her blood. After a while, he asked them to leave so as to run some tests on the blood.Calvin took his wife to the living room. They sat down on the couch in silence, doing nothing in particular. Just waiting impatiently. Time seemed to move slowly, and the couple didn't have the zeal to do any other thing.Finally, the doctor came out, and they didn't know when they rose to their feet."Am I...?" Allison began anxiously."Congratulations Mr and Mrs Bruce." The doctor said with a smile, then he turned to Allison. "You are three weeks gone."Allison turned to Calvin, and she saw that his hands were already wide open, inviting her for an embrace. She hugged him tightly, her hands went around his neck, holding him with a firm grip. She suddenly began to laugh, but not long after, her laughter turned into sobs. "It

Calvin instantly regretted saying that. What if that was not the case? He would just raise her hope only to leave her disappointed in the end. But he just couldn't help himself, as the thought of her getting pregnant excited him.Allison's lips parted and closed, before parting again. "We... we should see a doctor." She suggested."I was only guessing. I am not certain." Calvin said, not wanting her to get too hopeful."But it could be true. I have been feeling a little sick for a while now. Maybe I am really pregnant Calvin. We should check." Now she looked so anxious to know. "I had previously thought about that, but I always pushed it away, not wanting to get my hopes high. But now that you noticed and mentioned it, I want to check. It is better I just know, even if I get a negative answer."Calvin walked up to her and kissed her forehead, letting his lips linger there for a few seconds. "We will be seeing a doctor tomorrow.""Thank you baby.""Anything for you princess." He smile

Delia's gown hugged her body from her breasts to her waist, before it flowed freely downwards. She had wanted it to be tight and take her whole figure, but Charlotte discouraged her as she was pregnant, and grandma made sure to give her her own set of instructions. Delia wondered if they were exaggerating as she was only a few weeks pregnant. She had to remind them from time to time that she wasn't a piece of glass.The front of the dress was opened in a heart shaped pattern, and two royal blue straps attached to it was tied at the back, around her neck, as the dress was completely handless, leaving her back open. The upper part of the dress, close to her breasts to her back was blue, embedded with white designs. While the free end was also blue. The gown flowed voluptuously behind her, and she wondered if she would be able to walk freely.She stared at herself in the mirror, heart full with so much happiness, and a sense of fulfillment. She knew that she was not making a mistake by

Calvin woke up one morning. He searched the bed for Allison as he usually does, but she wasn't there. He got up to go close the open curtains as the light rays were shining brightly in the room, and his eyes were yet to adjust to it. From the way everywhere looked bright, he knew he had woken up very late. He and Allison had a very wild night last night. He still expected her to be in bed, knowing he tired her out.He quickly went to search for her, worried that he might have tired her out too much. Their bathroom was the first place he searched, but he didn't find her there.Coming out of the room, he met Ellie. "Good morning Ellie. Do you know where Ally is?""She's in the kitchen. She said she wanted to make you breakfast." Ellie answered with a shrug, and Calvin's feet took him to the kitchen wasting another second.He smiled when he saw her from the door. She was singing a song and also dancing to it. Somehow, she looked more radiant."What are you doing standing there?" Alliso
Trapped in her love Jerry
It had only been two days since Calvin, Allison and Naomi returned home from the ancestral home when they had an unexpected visitor, Jerry. Calvin had ordered that he shouldn't be let in, as he did not want Allison to see him and remember her traumatizing experience with him. Jerry stayed for a long while, causing a fuss at the gates. But after a while, he left.Calvin was thankful that he left, only that he did not expect him to come the next day. Just like the previous day he ordered that he shouldn't be let in, but Jerry stayed at the gates disturbing the peace of his home, accusing him of killing his parents.After a while, Calvin finally decided to come down to let him in. But only because Allison wasn't home, as she had began to spend all her time with Delia since she heard she was pregnant. Naomi wasn't home as well.Jerry rushed towards Calvin the moment he came down, ready to throw a punch or two at him, but he was quickly held by one of Calvin's men."I presume you came here

Allison stared at Calvin, completely taken aback by the information. Did he say that Jerry was his half-brother? "H... How?" "I am as surprised as you are princess. I think he is the older brother, and he is bitter, as he is the one supposed to get the company." Calvin explained, making Allison crease her brows in worry. "This is not good. He is a threat to you." Calvin shook his head. "He is an illegitimate son, and I guess no one in the family knows about him. Not even grandma." "He can easily prove that he is your father's son." He chuckled. "Even if he does that princess, the company will still belong to me. It is not written anywhere that it belongs to the first born. I am the rightful owner legitimately, plus everyone in the family apart from my late father..." he paused shortly, as if the word didn't sound right on his tongue. "... and his wife supports me. Jerry or whatsoever he is called have no claim." He shrugged. Allison lay her head on his chest, as she made hersel

Naomi lowered her head as she couldn't bear to look Calvin in the eyes. Her body shivered violently, and her teeth chattered against each other. The temperature around her suddenly felt so chill, and her heart hammered in her chest like it was going to pull out.Everything happened just so fast. When she saw her father pointing a gun at Calvin, and she realized that he was going to shoot him, she quickly picked up the gun on the floor and shot him instead. It was an instinctual reaction."Na... Naomi?"She heard Calvin call her. The shock in his voice was evident, even though his tone was low. Was he disappointed?Calvin walked up to his shivering sister, and wrapped her in a tight hug."Why? Oh God! why did you do that?"He knew that she was going to live with the guilt forever. She was the last person he expected to do that. She had always been so soft-hearted, and she did care about their father. "I... I... am... I..." She stuttered, unable to make a coherent statement.
