Her hopes perked up, but she tamed them down as her cynical side won over her emotional side. “I know that too. You needed me to accomplish all this. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have been able to accomplish any of this,” She said repeating what that cynical voice whispered in her head breaking her own heart with each word. “I was told several times that you were a manipulative person. And I thought that I understood what they meant back then. But it turns out that I didn’t,” She said, “I never understood to what extent your manipulations could run,” Vincent’s silence was like a spear through her heart. She wanted him to reach out and swear that he didn’t do any of this. That this is another misunderstanding. Another one of his family’s schemes. “No, Aira. You don’t understand,” He said, not denying anything, he simply clarified, “I

“Wha- Vincent….” She said her voice heavy with panting as she looked at him with horror. What was he going to do with her phone?Without answering her she taped on the screen of her ringing phone answering the call. “Hi, Ian,” he said as a way of greeting and blood drained from her face at the realisation that her brother was calling her at this time.That’s right, he was supposed to visit their grandmother that night. “She stopped by to pick a few things up,” Vincent answered, “she seemed tired so I didn’t let her drive back today. She will be there tomorrow,” She wanted to scoff at that act he was putting on. He was so good at those that she almost believed him. That damned man.“Alright man, I’ll let her know when she’s awake,” she said.She glared up at him as he finished the call and threw her phone back on the pile of clothes.“Untie me,” she defied but he only smiled at her.“What are you doing?! Untie me already!” She repeated and he smirked this time.“You think we’re done

Aira ran up to her grandmother’s room as she barked orders to the butler to call the doctor. Another seizure? So soon after the first one?!Aire made her way to her grandmother’s room where her health monitors were beeping. Her heart had stopped beating.Without hesitation, she made her way toward the bed fixing her position and beginning to perform CPR.With each pump, Aira felt her heaving breath as fear and adrenaline gave her the strength to push again and again until she was on a rhythm. But to no avail.The machine was beeping loudly telling her that she should make more effort.But her arms failed her and for the second time that week, she felt really weak and defenseless.A sob escaped her lips as she looked down at her grandmother’s pale face.“Grandma, please,” she said with a pleading voice as she went on not stopping her compressions and just as she was about to give up. Or more like as her hands were starting to dive way underneath her, she heard the cheerful beep of the

Aira was in pain, she felt hot and uncomfortable and her body ached all over leaving her unable to move a muscle. Even opening her eyes felt like too much effort but still she tried hard to open them her mind still foggy.She looked around her vision blurry ti see a figure she recognized by her bedside sitting in the dimm light.“Vincent,” she whispered her voice hoarse and Vincent’s eyes snapped to her widening when he saw her awake.“How are you feeling?“ he asked,“I don’t know…” she blurred out still foggy probably from all the crying and her fever.Crying… Her grandmother…She felt tears well up in her eyes and she closed them feeling the hot drops running down her temple.“Your fever is still high, you should get some more rest,” He told her pressing his cool hand to her forehead and covering her eyes, “I will only stay here until you feel better. I promise you won’t have to look at me after this.” He said and Aira wanted to protest, to tell him not to leave but she couldn’t.Sh

Vincent stood by the door and watched as Aira’s family fussed over her. Her mother and sister were hugging her tightly as they cried and her uncle stood away awkwardly as her father spoke to him clearly giving him a piece of his mind about what he said to her.“Thank you for finding her,” Ian said as he came up to stand beside him, “Amongst all of us, she is the one who has the hardest time.” He said.“I know. They were pretty close together,” He said with a smile his eyes never leaving her.“They were. Which is probably why she sold the mansion to you. She wanted Aira to have it one way or another.” Ian said and Vincent remained silent for a while not bothering to answer that comment.“She told me that you had a fight. She seemed upset over it, I was wondering if she would agree to come with you.” Ian added and this time Vincent looked at him.“I was wondering the same too. To be honest, I screwed up pretty badly this time and I wouldn’t have been surprised if she had refused. I had
