Unrequited Love SIXTY EIGHT
"Thanks for the ride," Natasha said to the teenage boy as she climbed down his bike. She smiles shyly under his scrutinizing gaze, biting her lower lip, then looking down. Her heat leaped a bit when he gave her a bright smile in return. "The pleasure is all mine," he answered, giving her a kiss on her cheek. "I will see you in school tomorrow?"She nodded, her insides, dancing with joy. "Yes," she answered. "You will see me in school tomorrow. " He nodded, gave her another kiss, said bye, revved up his bike and drove away. Natasha bit her inner cheek as she watched him drive away. If someone had told her that she would be riding on her crush's bike and he would be kissing her cheek, she never would have believed the person. But well, it happened. She couldn't believe her luck. She grinned. 'Wait until I tell Malvika about it,' she thought. 'She would be so excited for me.'With those thoughts, Natasha joyfully skipped into the house. She walked past the empty living room and climbed

"What the heck?!" Diane finally verbalized, storming into the room. "What the heck happened here? Was she robbed?!"Nicholas gave her a weird look. "No, I don't think so, Diane. I think she just stood up to leave.""Well, where the hell is she?!"Nicholas frowned. "How should I know?"Diane whirled around to face him. "You should know!" She yelled. "I left my two sisters under your care. And now one of them has disappeared without a trace! What the hell, Nicholas?! I thought you were responsible.""What?" Nicholas stared at her, am incredulous look on his face. "Need I remind you, Diane," he said, in an extremely controlled voice, "that Malvika is an adult who can be responsible for herself.""Oh, don't you dare talk to me in that tone," Diane growled. "Besides, it obvious that she carefully packed her things and left. How is that my fault?" he asked. Diane glared at him for a while. Then, she shoved him aside and rushed out of the room, towards the hallway and down the stairs. As s

Malvika pulled her bag and luggage after her, walking out of the airport. She had no idea what to do or where she was going. But she knew she couldn't go back to New York. Not anymore. She could never call her sisters again, at least not for a long while. She had blocked their numbers and even blocked them on all of her social media including Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. She was starting a new life. Maybe after a while, when she had settled down, she would finally call them to apologize. She would tell them that it needed to be done and that she had no choice. But for now, all she could do was ghost them. Standing by the side of a road, she waved her hands to flag down an empty cab and the driver parked beside her. "Hi. Can you just take me to the nearest hotel?" she asked. He frowned at her unusual request. "I'm sorry. I'm new to Florida and I don't really know anywhere here. So, could you help me out. Just drop me at the nearest hotel, please, thank you."He nodded and she op
Unrequited Love SEVENTY ONE
Malvika rose up from the bed and walked to the window side. She stood there, looking down at the parking lot. Mentally, she started counting the the numbers of cars in the parking lot, unsure of what else to do. After a while, she sighed and glanced at her phone on the bed. The sudden urge to pick up the phone and call Diane overwhelmed her but she managed to shrug it off and glance back outside.She had absolutely no plan for today but as she thought about it, she decided to go out and scout for a job. She needed one if she was going to ever survive without Diane and Natasha. Malvika had never actually lived alone or be responsible herself alone in her life. At first, when her father was still alive, he used to send her a couple of bonuses in a month because she was a passive partner of the company. Then, when he died, Diane placed her on a monthly salary. But now, she wasn’t sure that was possible anymore. If she wanted this to work, she had to find an actual job.But the thing was
Unrequited Love SEVENTY TWO
Diane and Natasha climbed out of the car and headed into the company’s building. The security men at door mumbled greetings to Diane and she nodded in reply, walking straight towards her receptionist, Ariana’s desk.Immediately Arian saw Diane coming, she rose to her feet and greeted as politely as she could, “Good morning Miss Matthews.”“Ariana, how are you doing this morning?” Diane asked.“Fine, thank you ma.” She paused, hesitating. Then, she said, “Um… ma, my apologies for your….. your sister's disappearance.”“Oh, I see you’ve heard about that,” Diane said, shrugging her shoulders while trying to play it cool. Behind her, Natasha rolled her eyes. “Anyway, that’s kind of the thing I wanted to talk to you about.”“Oh?”“Hmm. Ariana, I need your help,” Diane started to say.Ariana straightened up. “With what ma?” she asked in a polite and respectful tone.“Like you said, my sister is no where to be found and well, she isn’t picking any of our calls and we really need to know her l
Unrequited Love SEVENTY THREE
Malvika stumbled through the hotel doors, ignoring the looks that people have her. She looked and felt exhausted and she knew it. As she turned to walk into the elevator, she saw Haley standing by her desk and walked towards her. “Hi,” She greeted, slumping into the tall stool that was across Haley.Haley glanced at her. “Hi. Malvika, right?”Malvika nodded. “Yeah. I came here to look for you this morning,” she said. “But the guy here said you weren’t around yet.” She had forgotten the guy's name.“Right. My shifts starts at twelve in the afternoon,” Haley replied. “And it ends by ten. How are you doing?” she asked politely.“I’m stressed out,” Malvika groaned. “I’m tired and I just want to lay down and sleep. I have no idea what to do. I’m so fucking tired.”“Is something wrong?” Haley inquired. Then, she hurriedly said, “Sorry for asking. I don’t mean to be a snoop but it’s just that you look really…..well, stressed. You don’t have to tell me if you don’t want to.”“No, it’s okay,”
Unrequited Love SEVENTY FOUR
Jenny and Ashley decided to celebrate by going to the bar, just the two of them alone. They wanted to celebrate the fact that they were finally getting rid of the Matthews Sisters. First, it was Malvika. Next, would be Diane. Natasha wasn’t a bother to them. She never was. Wherever her elder sister went, she would go to.The two of them – Jenny and Ashley – walked into the bar both wearing a pair of mini skirt and a sleeveless top that stopped right in the middle of their boobs.They walked to the counter where the bartender was standing, mixing drinks. The bartender beamed when he saw them. He knew Jenny. She was a regular customer. “Hello, Jenny,” he greeted. “I see you brought a friend.”“Hey, what’s up, Lenny?” Jenny grinned at him. “Lenny, this Ashley, she’s a friend, like you said.”Ashley waved at Lenny and he smiled at her, then, said to Jenny, “Right, what would you have?”“We could both use a whiskey tonight,” Jenny said and Ashley nodded beside her. Lenny nodded at them and

Malvika decided to stay in the hotel today. She encountered massive disappointments the previous day and she didn’t want a repeat. Besides, she and Haley made plans to catch a late breakfast and Haley has already said she would meet her in front of the hotel. Malvika certainly thought that was better than going on another fruitless job hunt.So, instead of waking up early like she did yesterday, she slept in late and woke up around eight o'clock. Then, she went to take her bath and freshen up, after which she slipped on some clothes she thought was proper for going out with a friend. It was a red tank top and a black mermaid skirt. Then, Malvika sat down and waited for Haley.Haley didn’t drop a phone number. She only said to meet Malvika at the hotel, so Malvika assumed she would come to her room. However, Malvika didn’t know how long Haley would take.Around nine o'clock, Malvika heard a knock on her door and she stood up, walked briskly to it and pulled it open, glad to see Haley s

Unrequited Love EPILOGUE
Diane stood in front of the bathroom mirror, her heart thumping wildly, her hands shaking as she unwrapped the pregnancy test packet. She lowered herself into the toilet seat, raising up her dress and pulling down her panties. Closing her eyes, she placed the pregnancy test instrument beneath and let the urine flow on it and into the toilet. Then, she placed it back on the counter and waited. Just a year ago, and some months after Diane’s kidnap, Malvika delivered her baby boy in an hospital and just as she had promised, she gave that baby to Diane and Nicholas. The baby was named Cameron Alan Langston. Some months after birthing her child, Malvika left as she had said she would and took off for Florida to continue her life despite pleas from her sisters – Natasha and Diane. Diane had been raising Cam for a year and she was enjoying every moment of it. But recently she had begun to feel feverish – vomiting all over the house. No food could stay in her belly. At first she thought it wa
Unrequited Love ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY ONE
A slight sound of movement outside made Diane open her eyes. The entire room was still dark as there was no space for illumination. Her hands and feet were still bound together. Her neck hurt from having bending them in one position for a very long time. The mosquitoes in the room kept biting her and the notes were painful. She had been unable to sleep for a while even with her eyes closed, so when she heard movement in front of the door, her eyes flew open. She fixed her gaze on the door, sensing movements behind it. Her heartbeat increased in fear as she was unable to tear her gaze away from the door. Her fear heightened when someone started to bang something on the door. She began to struggle with her chains, unable to move. “Help!” she yelled. “Somebody, help me!” But the banging increased, until the door was pushed open. She opened her mouth and let out a loud scream when she saw the uniformed men armed to the bones barging in, “Ahhhhhhh…….” “Ma'am, please you can calm down,” On

"Ashley?!" Nicholas exclaimed. Ashley glanced up, her eyes grief and fear stricken. She pushed at the hair that were sticking to her face because of the tears. "Nicholas," she gasped behind her cuffed hands. "Oh my God, Nicholas you are here. I missed you!" She cried. "What are you doing here, Ashley?" Nicholas asked, still shocked and confused. "How....how did you get here?" "I....I was arrested," she mumbled. "For what? How? What did you do?" He threw a series of questions at her, all of which she did not answer. He stared at her, a small frown on his face as something finally clicked. "The cops said they arrested a couple of people who turned out to be a gang. They got an address from these guys and when they got there they found.....you?" He was shocked.....and although he was able to piece it together, he was still very much confused. "I'm sorry," Ashley whispered. "For?" "What happened," she cried. "I....I didn't know at first. She didn't tell me we were going to kill her
Unrequited Love ONE HUNDRED AND NINETEEN
Diane slowly opened her eyes. She let out a soft groan of pain as she tried to adjust herself on the ground. Her hands kept pulling against the cuffs. She glances around, shuffling her legs. The entire room was dark, except for the ray of light coming in beneath the door. She had spent almost two days in this hell hole that Jenny and Derek had locked her up in. Just yesterday, one of Jenny's goons had placed a call to her family, demanding a ransom. Diane let out a pant. She was feeling hungry and thirsty. Not only that, her entire body was in serious pains. Her body ached to the marrow and she had this massive headache that forced her to wince from time to time. She could not wait to get out of here, yet she had no idea how she would get out. The doors and windows were locked, her hands and feet were handcuffed and there was absolutely no way that she could free herself. Her best and only option was to wait for Nicholas to pay the ransom so she could be released. Just then, the door

“Hey,” Malvika said as she walked down the stairs tiredly. Natasha was sprawled on the couch, tired from her constant crying. Her eyes were red and her cheeks looked swollen. Malvika walked towards her and sat beside her. “Hey, are you still crying?” She asked, looking around the living room. She saw Nicholas standing by the door, talking lowly to someone on the phone. “I’m too tired to cry,” Natasha answered weakly. Her weeping had seeped out every of her energy. She pulled herself to sit up. “What do you think happened to her? She said she was going out and all of a sudden, we couldn’t find her. How did that happen?” “Okay, I need you to calm down,” Malvika said. “The cops are doing everything they can and Nicholas and I are trying our hardest best to find her. We are going to find her, okay?” Malvika tried to reassure her younger sister. She sounded sure of herself, but deep down, her insides crawled with doubt and fear. What if they were never able to find her? Was she so sure th

“Yeah, I don’t think that’s going to be possible,” Jenny says into her phone, pulling the cigarette away from her lips and blowing out a puff of smoke. She was seated on the chair, her legs crossed out in front of her as she listened to her brother ask her to come to the house. “Nick, I really appreciate the invite, but I’m sorry, I’m not going to be able to make it. And by the way, I’m really sorry about Diane.” After a while, she hung up and threw the phone on the table, letting out a sigh. “Nicholas?” Ashley asked as she flipped through a magazine. She glanced up at Jenny, raising her brow. “Yeah.” Jenny let out an exaggerated sigh. “He wants me to come over today,” she said, rolling her eyes. “I’m not going though. I’m in the middle of something,” she said, blowing out a ring of smoke while Ashley chuckled. “Why can’t we go, though?” “We?” Jenny raised a brow? “Who’s we?” she asked. “You and I of course.” “Okay cute, but he didn’t invite both of us. He invited me, his sister.

Malvika sat in front of the car with Nicholas, her nose pressed on to the window as she was deep in thoughts. Beside her, Nicholas drove as carefully as he could, the both of them thinking about Diane. He was driving her to the restaurant where Diane’s cat was found. She had an inkling of what the restaurant was or who might be behind the kidnap but she needed to confirm it first.“What are you thinking about?” Nicholas asked, breaking the silence.She pursed her lips, turning to look at him. Then, she answers, “I might know who could be Diane’s disappearance,” she answered, slowly and carefully, watching his face for any reaction.He darted a surprised glance in her direction. “Really? Who?”“You are not going to be happy about this,” Malvika answerez. She paused, before finally saying, “Jenny.”“What?!” Nicholas sharply pulled the brake of the car in shock, halting it. A loud honk resonated behind them as a car drove angrily past them. “Sorry!” Nicholas called out, before turning ba

“Any news?” Natasha asked as she descended the stairs with Alyssa behind her. Her eyes were red from tears and she rubbed her cheeks to clean them off. Malvika and Grace were seated on the couch in the living room. Olivia was spread across Grace’s leg, sleeping peacefully. They had all stayed in the living room, waiting to here from Diane but heard nothing.Malvika shook her head. “No. Mark and Nick went to the station this morning,” she said.Natasha sighed, slumping on the chair. Alyssa sat down quietly beside her. “But where did she go?”“No one knows.”“She told me she wanted to receive a phone call,” Grace informed them, rubbing her hands slowly round her daughter, Olivia’s back. “That was all. I didn’t see her again.”“Her car isn’t in the garage,” Malvika said. “So, she went with her car.”“But someone must have seen her leave.”Malvika sighed. “We didn’t and we don’t even know who to ask. Hopefully, Mark and Nicholas will come back with good news.”The four of them sat in the
Unrequited Love ONE HUNDRED AND FOURTEEN
A groan slipped out of Diane’s mouth. Her left leg moved a bit as she struggled to straighten her shoulders. She subconsciously tugged her hands, sensing that they were in some sort of bondage. She let out another groan, this time fluttering her eyes open slowly. Her hazy sight was, however, met with darkness. She blinked twice, glancing around but her gaze met nothing but darkness.What happened? She wondered, squeezing her eyes shut as she tried to remember what happened the night before. With her eyes still shut, an image of her standing in the living room reading Ashley’s text message. She remembered leaving the house and going to a restaurant that looked deserted and out of business. She remembered thinking she would find Ashley there. And she remembered someone hitting her head. The last thing she remembered was blacking out.Oh God.Was she kidnapped? She was kidnapped! They freaking kidnapped her!Did that happen to Ashley too? Maybe that was why she was texting her. Did the s
