I watched every body eating their meal with great appetite but I was only picking and dropping the cavatto with my fork, making unnecessary sounds with the ceramic plates in front of me. I could not even take one into my mouth, I could throw up if I tried it and every body would start to suspect me. "Silene, what's wrong?" Luna Dessa called me and I raised my head up. "Yes Luna?" I answered dropping my fork. "I noticed that you have not been eating anything, is there any problems? Don't you like the meal?" Luna asked me like she cared, but I only nodded with a smile. "Are you still ill Silene?" Lustrow asked me as he gazed at me but I kept my eyes on the food on the table. "Not at all Lustrow. I am perfectly okay, and I like the food." To convince him that I was fine, I picked one shrimp to my mouth but before I could even chew it up, my stomach rumbled violently, my throat lurging forward the food that was in my stomach. I covered my mouth with my palm to

Now we have new Luna in our midst and of course, this girl was only here to cause more commotions and give each and everyone reasons to detest her. It was really tiring coz, this girl would boss one day and night without even telling one to rest. Well, that was what she was used to so I wouldn't blame her for all that. Just a few days Harolden had used in the house, she had made numerous enemies for herself but yet, no one had dared to confront her or complain that he had done too much or said too much. I was even glad she convinced Lustrow to give me a few more weeks to stay in the house to look for where to get a proper apartment for myself and my baby. Almost everyone believed that the father of my baby rejected my pregnancy and that was why I was hiding it from everyone and I was glad that was how it went. I knew her reasons for letting me stay back though, it wasn't that she truly cared about me and my baby, I knew that for its certainty, but I wouldn't let that to weig

"Lustrow!!!" Her fragile voice echoed around the pack-house as she screamed and within a twinkle of an eye, Lustrow and Holden had appeared in the room. My heart raced as I saw them, Lustrow pushed me aside and ran to Harol. "What's going on here?" He asked me but I couldn't even respond. I was shuddering and my lips were just to heavy to form something. "She threw up on my dress!" She screamed again. "Tell her to get out of my room.. I don't want to see her face ever again, she has ruined me." She cried into Lustrow's arm. "Get out of here!! Get out of my sight!!" Holden yelled at me and I quickly ran out of the room immediately. One side of me was extremely happy and the other side of me was nervous. I was happy because I knew I was totally free from her today, I was free from her orders and I was nervous because I didn't know what would happen to me next. I didn't know what they would do to me this time. "Silene!!" I heard my name and I froze. My leg

Brightness. Brightness penetrated into my eyes and forced me to open them when I really didn't want to wake up, I felt like sleeping more. I had to blink several times and rubbed my eyes with the back of my palm before I could see anything clearly. I didn't want to wake up and I wouldn't have woken up if not of the light that poked my eyes like I was being stung by an insect. I looked around where I was not moving my body. This was a new place, wasn't it? I looked around again, scanning everything that was in the room and what could have possibly brought me here. I didn't recognise where I was. Not a whit! I found myself in a little room, surrounded by dark charred walls. It was as if the room was once burnt. Like, so there was a room like this in the pack-house? How come I didn't know about it and how did I get here? I kept on scanning, to my left, there was a small table and a chair, and just right above a small window from which the sunlight peeked through. In front of me,

Where the hell is this noise coming from again and that too very early in the morning. I placed my palm on my forehead as I slowly moved away from the bed and slid into my flip flops. I couldn't hear the voice well so I couldn't recognize the voice. I sprinkled some water to my face and left the room. There was no one out of my room to ask who it was making that noise and why there was so much noise. I turned to the direction of where the voice was coming from and began to walk on to the place. "Ashley!" I finally met some one, but she was running. "Come here." "I am sorry Silene, I can't come... I need to be there as soon as I can." She told me and ran out quickly before I could even ask her where she was heading and why she was running. I continued to move, taking gentle steps as I had abdominal pain. The voice was coming upstairs so I took the stairs up and then, I saw the gathering. There were so many maids around, and there was some one in the middle of those
