Chapter Twenty Four - Thank you, Harrison.

I took off from the apartment to walk to the subway station, as Harry could not pick me up at the moment. He offered his driver to pick me up, but I declined because his driver could be somewhere else doing more important things and running errands rather than driving me around. .I was carrying the cryptic note that was written on a piece of small paper. I rolled it into a very small piece so that I could put it in my pocket safely without it getting ripped or torn apart. .I was feeling kind of queasy and a tad bit grossed out when I remembered that it used to be crumpled up inside the cloth along with the little otter corpse, and with the yellowing rotten teeth. Gross. Oh my goodness. Just thinking about it made me want to vomit out things this instance..I actually could have just sent the picture to Harrison, but I thought that I would not be able to bear the curiousity of deciphering the handwritten cryptic letters on the piece of paper. I was wondering about what it could mea

Chapter Twenty Five - Trying to Ease Things Up

I was sitting inside the limousine that Harrison led me into. He sat right on one of the seats, and gestured me to sit right next to him. I was literally amazed by the sight of the limousine's interior. To be honest, I have never been inside a car that was designed to be this fancy. Sure, during my days as a callgirl, I used to be picked up with cars of different brands, shapes, and sizes. None of the men who booked me was this rich though. None of them was as rich as Harrison. None of them could compete with the Bonavich's family. .I was staring at the interiors. The seats were made out of luxurious leather. Just one touch and a quick stroke of the seats, then I could sense just how expensive the material is. The seat inside of the limousine was only built on one side. The other side of the limo were built-in racks that consisted of glasses, particularly tall wine glasses, and few sorts and different kinds of alcoholic drinks. I examined them one by one. Wow. Only one of them migh

Chapter Twenty Six - Meddlesome

After our rejuvenating salon experience, we headed to Harrison's car garage. As we drove, I couldn't help but wonder about the sheer number of assets the Bonavichs family possessed. It seemed that their wealth was truly boundless. The driver navigated the car expertly, ensuring a quick yet comfortable journey.Upon arriving at the car garage, I was left in awe. My jaw practically dropped as I gazed at the array of vehicles before me. It wasn't just a few cars; there were a total of thirty cars parked inside there, all of them from ordinary brands. But the prices of all them accumulated were no joke. Harrison explained that this was a business venture he had started independently because of his deep love for cars. He decided to specialize in buying and selling family cars from low-budget brands. It was clear that his passion for automobiles extended beyond mere ownership.I followed Harrison as we explored the garage. Each car had its own unique charm and character. Some were compact a

Chapter Twenty Seven - Kanika's POV - The Godmother

Kanika's POV -I was up quite late in the afternoon, because I was busy being up all night doing some commissions for a special client. The client claimed that if I could accomplish the commission with less than two revisions, he would give a bonus which was five times the price of the commission. I mean, like, who would not want that? It was a huge amount of money, if you thought about it. It was worth like six months of my usual income. A salary worth of half the year. Isn't that crazy?.So, I wanted to make the client as satisfied as possible with the results of my drawing. I started staying up late, even much later than usual. I would go to bed at 1 AM sometime. For this special client, though, I am ready to go to huge measures for them. I slept at 4 AM last night, um, last morning? Last dawn? Eh. Whatever. That was why I woke up very late in the afternoon. I always get so worked up at night. After the sun sets, that is the time when the huge waves of inspiration start to flood

Chapter Twenty Eight - Elaine's POV

Elaine's POV - I sat in the corner of my favorite cafe, a croissant delicately held between my fingers, and a latte warming my hand. The pleasant aroma of freshly brewed coffee wafted through the air, and the low hum of conversations enveloped the space. It was a charming spot, and the perfect place to ponder my ongoing confusion.As I indulged in the flaky layers of the croissant, my mind wandered to a subject that never failed to incite my frustration: Aria. She was the thorn in my side, an interloper who had infiltrated our lives with her unwelcome presence. How could my brother, Harrison, be so blind as to be entangled in a special relationship with that woman?Aria, with her ordinary looks and unremarkable background, had managed to captivate my brother's attention. It baffled me, a constant source of vexation. What did he see in her? She was like a puzzle piece that didn't fit into the grand tapestry of the Bonavichs. Yet, Harrison seemed to believe that she was the missing piec

Chapter Twenty Nine - Ended Up at the Hospital

Ow. It hurts. My head is hurting so bad. Wait... Where am I? Wait. Wait. Wait. I... I... I ....My body was shivering like a person locked inside a freezer. It felt like I was lying on top of a huge block of ice. It felt so cold that I thought that my fingers and toe nails were going numb. I was afraid that I would lose one of them. It was very cold but I could not move at all. I felt like a corpse, frozen in place, sticking onto whatever they were lying on. Totally unable to move..In the hazy moments after the operation, I found myself in a nightmarish state. My body lay there, still and unresponsive, under the lingering influence of anesthesia. The frigid air in the sterile room seemed to seep into my very bones, chilling me to the core. I was trapped within my own body, unable to move a single muscle.My mind, however, was far from sedated. It raced like a wild horse, thrashing against the restraints of my immobile form. Panic coursed through me as I struggled to command my limbs

Chapter Thirty - Near Death Experiences

DRAG!!! DRAG!!! DRAG... DRAG... DRAG......I felt like the bed that I was laying on was being pushed around. I guess I was being transferred to another unit in the hospital for the continuity of my recovery. I did not actually want to sleep in the hospital bed anymore. All I wanted was to go out and walk around freely like I always have for the past days..I would never imagine myself getting stucked on a hospital bed, with a long ass needle jabbed into my hand, and with oxygen tubes running through my nostrils. I wanted to take off this stupid ass bandage off my head so much, it was bothering my eyes. I was already so sick of it all, despite the fact that I have only had them on for the past hour. It must be a long tormenting journey then on, that I have to endure; whether I wanted to or not. I decided to just breathe in and out; trying to forget about all the sensation and lingering fear. Furthermore, the anaesthesia that was injected into my body was quickly wearing off so I co

(31) Flashback Chapter - My Mother and I

I was sitting on the balcony of my room. My back felt frozen from the cold breeze of autumn, as I was only wearing a thin, sheer dress. The smoke from the little cigarette I had between my fingers got into my left eye and made me flinch a bit. This whole act that I've got going; it really didn't feel like myself at all. The things that I do just to forget about that hurtful incident, and on that one particular night. Hurting myself was the only way to forget about all of it. I was flicking the dust from my burnt cigarette, until she barged into my room and opened the door to the balcony.. "What the hell do you think you’re doing with that?! Are you stupid?!" The woman glared at me while screaming at the top of her lungs. .“Mom, you could at least knock…” I tried to calm her down. .“Rather than doing dumbass things, you should do your homework or help me with the housework! Go!” She continued to yell at me like I am a five-year-old kid. .“Mom, I’m not a kid anymore!!! Stop!!!”.

(32) Flashback Chapter Pt. 2 - My Mother and I

My mother turned into some controlling freak after the incident. Perhaps the lack of control she had about the dreadful incident made her this way. She controlled each and every movement I did. Whenever something goes wrong, she will resort to blaming me. It was as if everything I do is wrong in her eyes..Over time, I grew sicker of this. My father grew ignorant about the whole situation that sometimes he didn’t come home. He never bothered to apologize to me. The sexual abuse from my father stopped. After it stopped, he often goes out with whatever girl available there is to keep him company. I knew he was going somewhere faraway with someone else just to ease his mind, and there is nothing I could do to fix the whole situation.. Not long, I grew pretty sleepy. .“Luke, honey…”.“Yes, babe?”.“Let’s go home, it’s getting late after all.”.We decided to go home after that. I almost fell asleep on the bike, but Lucas keeps on cracking jokes so that I don’t fall asleep and fall o

(33) Flashback Chapter - Mother's Unread Note

Mother’s POV . I got down from the couch to pick up the shattered glass pieces. It might hurt Terry's feet when she gets back. I picked them up one by one, while still processing the words that Terry just uttered in front of me. I finally realized that maybe I was doing everything the wrong way..OW! A piece of glass just cut my index finger. I watch it as it slowly bleeds. I remember last night when Terry's nose bleeds. My stomach instantly felt sour.
