HER TOP PRIORITY

Halle's body stilled and her breathing quietened as Martha’s voice had her feet rooted to the spot. At first she thought she might’ve mistaken someone else's voice for Martha’s. “Well, that wouldn’t have been the case if Horacio was doing his job properly!” Andrea said with an exasperated sigh, sounding like a woman who things weren’t going her way. Were they…speaking about Xavier’s health? “Horacio is doing the best he can to make sure he isn’t suspected, it has to look natural or else Xavier is going to catch on and everything I have planned in the past three years will be for naught,” Martha aggrieved, “Then he’s going to have both our heads on a platter!” “That can’t happen!” Andrea said. Anna heard shuffling, like the woman began to pace due to her nervousness. “Then you have to do your part!” Martha hissed, the tone of her voice unlike what Halle had grown used to. There was no regality or warmth, just pure venom and hatred. Halle knew she shouldn’t have stood there for a

PRIVACY

Halle watched as Tabitha and Collette reluctantly got into the car. Tabitha turned around to look at her with teary eyes and it was such an unreal feeling. It took her back to the day she had first met the woman, a stranger that had now become one of her very good friends. “Promise me you will take good care of and never skip your meals!” She said with a shaky voice, shuffling in her feet like she was resisting the urge to walk up to Halle. Halle gave a watery smile and willed herself not to cry as her lips trembled from the pressure of holding it in. “I will never skip my meals and I will see you both soon, I promise,” Halle said. Tabitha nodded firmly and the closed the car door behind her, Collette's hand stuck out the window as the car began to move out of the property. Halle laughed and waved back, feeling a deep pang in her chest as she watched them drive away. There was a high chance that she would never see them again which also meant that she had to be extra car

A PLAN

The sun had gone down after a few hours of staying up in the sky and letting it’s scorching heat also provide light. Something about watching the sunset from the garden out back made Halle feel like her mind was clearer she could think better. It didn’t stop her from feeling lost and desperate for a solution. She say there for hours, racking her brain as to how she was going to fix things. The surprising part though was the fact that Xavier was with her, he had followed her quietly and she didn’t realize he did until agree she was seated with a flower in hand. “You seem lost,” He had pointed out after they had sat in a few minutes of comfortable silence, Halle had rested her head on his shoulders and he had adjusted his body so they could both be comfortable. Halle closed her eyes and bit her bottom lip, she pretended not to hear his question as she pondered over a certain solution that was at the corner of her mind but yet she just couldn’t visualize it. “Flower?” He called

COMING BACK TO HIM

There comes a time in every woman's life when she has to make the tough choice of not just sitting back and letting things happen to her like the world expects of all women. There comes a time when she has to step up and take charge of her fate, no matter the circumstances and no matter how afraid she is of what might come after her dangerous leap of faith. Halle was certain that was the point she had reached, as she wrote those words on paper in a urgent manner, she hoped that it would get to who she wanted it to without her actions being discovered. Everything had to go accordingly, she had to save Xavier. She was the only person who could do it! There was no one she could trust, not even Xavier. Somehow she felt like everything she had gone through in her life had led her up to this moment. She was never able to protect herself or the people she cared about but not anymore, she would not longer be that weakling! Halle folded the paper and put in into the envelope, writing dow

THE POST

After leaving Xavier's room and promising to meet him before breakfast, Halle opened the letter and read through the contents again just to be sure that she got everything right. Her entire plan depended on the letter getting to the intended today! She carefully folded the letter, her thoughts racing as she prepared to embark on a path that could change everything.Walking down the hallways of Stone Manor, Halle's heart thudded loudly in her chest. Her steps were purposeful, each one bringing her closer to the entrance. The manor was quiet at this hour, the soft hum of morning activity echoing through the hallways. Halle's mind was focused, her determination unwavering.Stepping outside, the crisp morning air greeted her. The scent of blooming flowers filled her senses, creating a surreal atmosphere for the mission ahead. Halle's strides were confident as she made her way toward the entrance gates of the estate. The gravel beneath her shoes seemed to echo her determination with each

LIGHTS

Halle's grip on her utensils tightened, but she maintained her calm exterior. "I understand your concern, Andrea. But I've been researching and all I’m doing is trying to help Xavier."So Xavier told her about their conversation, great. He didn’t even know the kind of intentions the people he talks to about his life harbors toward him. Andrea's eyebrows arched, a challenge in her gaze. "Research is not the same as medical expertise. You're playing with fire here."Xavier interjected, his voice steady. "Andrea, Halle is a trained nurse who no doubt, knows what she’s doing. I trust whatever method she comes up with."Andrea's lips pressed into a thin line, the tension between her and Halle growing palpable. Damien, sensing the unease, looked between them with confusion. "Why are you arguing?"Xavier's voice softened as he addressed his son. "It's just a grown-up conversation, buddy."Halle offered Damien a reassuring smile. "Don't worry, we're just discussing different points of view."

EVER AGAIN

Halle's heart raced as she looked across the candlelit table at Xavier. The restaurant's elegant ambiance seemed to have lost its charm, her every nerve on edge as she prepared to share the truth with him. The smile that had once adorned her lips was replaced with apprehension. "Xavier," she began, her voice steady despite the fluttering in her chest. "There's something I need to tell you."Xavier's brows furrowed as he leaned in slightly, his gaze fixed on her with a mix of curiosity and concern. "Halle, you're starting to worry me. What's going on?"Halle took a deep breath, her fingers fidgeting with the edge of the tablecloth. "All morning, I haven't been completely honest with you."Xavier's expression shifted from curiosity to unsettled worry, his eyes searching hers for answers. "What do you mean? What haven't you told me?"Halle's heart pounded in her chest as she met his gaze, her guilt and determination warring within her. "We're not going back to Stone Manor after this."X

THE WRONG WOMAN

It was dark. A darkness that Xavier thought he’d been used to since the day he realized what his life's trust purpose was but this time it was different, because he could feel everything and at some point…he could hear everything as well and it was completely torture for him. Xavier's consciousness began to surface, like a ship emerging from the depths of a storm-tossed sea. His mind felt heavy, his thoughts muddled as he fought to break free from the embrace of sleep. Halle's apologies reverberated in his head, each word a painful reminder of the pain he felt. Her voice was a haunting echo, a discordant melody that played on his heartstrings, tugging at his emotions. He could remember the guilty expression on her face when she voiced out her betrayal and finally stated her intentions…she had drugged him. Intentionally lured him out and drugged him, to do what with him? He wasn’t sure. Xavier wondered who she worked for and how much of everything they’d shared was a lie but yet, his

COME OUT WITH

Halle's heart sank as her eyes met Xavier's accusatory gaze. His brown eyes bore into hers, a silent storm of anger and hurt. She could feel the weight of his disappointment, a heaviness that settled deep within her chest. Guilt gnawed at her, twisting her insides as she struggled to meet his gaze.Xavier's voice was cold, cutting through the charged atmosphere like a blade. "Explain." He repeated with a chill in his tone that he’d never used with her before. Now the reality of the situation was sinking in properly and Halle was now beginning to fear for her life. What had she done? Was it the right action to take? Tunde, standing beside her, seemed unaffected by Xavier's gloomy demeanor. She also noticed that his nonchalant attitude grated on Xavier's nerves, but she was too shaken to react. “Calm down before you blow a fuse, man,” Tunde dragged the chair from the bedside table and plopped down on the seat with a heavy sigh, a quirky smile that was no doubt the really for Xavier’

HIS PROMISE

Tunde's voice was steady as he began to speak, his words carrying a weight of truth that neither Halle and she was sure Xavier couldn't ignore. "Xavier, there's something you need to understand about our way of life. It's not always what it seems. Trust is a luxury that can be hard to come by." Tunde was in this life just as deeply as Xavier and his cousins were but, he found a loophole and that way he was the target of many but also the target of none. Halle couldn’t think of anyone better to speak to Xavier about this. Xavier's gaze remained fixed on Tunde, a look of skepticism in his eyes. Halle noticed he was willing to listen to what they had to say but he also looked tense, like he was ready to claw his way put of here if their words didn’t appeal to him. Halle knew he wouldn't let his guard down so easily. Tunde continued, his words measured. "I received a letter from Halle yesterday morning. She said your life was in danger, and she was certain that your aunt Martha and Andr
