Femme Fatale

When Alex’s message got to Margaret, it was somewhat of a good thing because it aligned with her plans for herself too.She was going to take a break and strictly focus on her Medical examinations, but she couldn’t deny the uneasiness she felt when he beat her to it.“Especially because he has no reason!” “Avery, I tell you, something is going on!”Avery paced around her bedroom, pensively trying to connect the dots.Fredrick had equally sent her a message to inform her that he won’t be coming home either.“I won’t deny that it is a bit fishy, but what if it is about work.”“You know they were on TV earlier today.”Margaret nodded agreeably but eyes darted around the room suspiciously,“It might be about work but, I have a feeling it is more than that.”“Can we stop worrying about them and start worrying about our own lives?”“We have the first examination of our Career in a few days, maybe it is a good thing that they’ve decided to be too busy for us.”“Orrrr, we can make it interes

Candle flames in my heart

Avery drove out of the parking lot at Bryson’s Medical school after her last exam of the semester. The last few days had been extremely difficult, having to joggle school and suppressing her feelings. She was more miserable from needing her husband than she was tired from sleepless nights, preparing for exams.Margaret’s femme fatale thing was weighing her down and she was losing it.She wanted to him to come back home, come back to her. She suspected that Fredrick would be at Alex’s, having the time of his life.She would have probably felt easy if he didn’t leave the house on bad terms with her, severally, she found herself wondering, “What if this has really severed my relationship with him? How will I get back from that?”These were the kind of questions that weighed her down heavily and the only person she could talk to was somewhere in Mainland.Without thinking, Avery made a sharp U-turn towards the Mainland,“Mr Sinh probably will have some advice for me.”In no time, Avery

Fingers crossed

Avery sat still with her fingers crossed, silently praying that Fredrick’s sarcastic comments would be followed by actual help.“How then do you expect to do business?” His voice hinted a mix of amusement and excitement.“I…didn’t think that too far ahead?” Avery stuttered.“Then what were you considering as your criteria for buying the business?”“Mr Sinh is a very good friend.He is relocating to India to settle down with his long time lover and he needs financial help…”Fredrick burst into a ripple of hearty laughter, interrupting her rambles,“So, you’re not buying the Cafe considering its business value, you’re buying it because you want to help him.”“I have never heard a business pitch this convincing before.”“I’m quite impressed Avery Hughson.” Fredrick said sarcastically, his voice bore the excitement of his sarcasm, upholding the amusement that glinted in his expression.Flushed with embarrassment, Avery dropped her gaze to the floor. When she ran over to her husband, she

What to do? I can’t stop smiling!

Holding each other in that warm embrace, Avery realized how relieved she was in his embrace.She clung onto him tightly, not ready to let go, making certain to breathe in the moment.Fredrick engulfed her in his strong arms, patting her on the back gently, he couldn’t help the wide smile that etched on his face, neither was he aware of the passersby that had their eyes glued to scene. He was too happy to care, too happy to let go.His wife seemed so feeble and fragile in his big arms, he wondered if she has always been this small. Without thinking, Fredrick scooped her into his arms- carrying her effortlessly towards the waiting car. Her surprised laughter filled the air, calling the attention of the public,“Wooops!” Avery squealed, chuckling heartily.“What? Am I funny?” Fredrick teased, his eyes had a glimmering glow in it,Avery blushed shyly, covering her face with her hands,“I’m just happy.” She admitted.Fredrick held her in one arm, using the other one to swiftly pull open

I’m eager, show me all of you.

“Margaret called” Fredrick announced.“Did she?” “What is it? Did you two fight?”“We didn’t!” She protested,“You definitely did.”“Else, why is your face like that?”“You know you can tell me anything, right?”“It’s just, I feel guilty…”“Guilty?” Fredrick asked, alarmed.“I just feel bad that She and Alex couldn’t work out.” Avery sighed, “Couldn’t work out?” “Why would you think? Why would she think that?” “I don’t know, he asked her out and ghosted her after a few hours. I haven’t been in many relationships but I know that is definitely not how it works.” Avery retorted.Fredrick groaned, completely understanding of the situation.As they drove through the streets of Greenville, enjoying the scenery of the night life, Fredrick contemplated if to reveal that Alex was desperately distressed about their relationship as much as Margaret, he stared out the window for a fleeting moment wondering if Alex had a plan to salvage his relationship.Suddenly, it occurred to him,“How abou

I will do right by you!

Waking up to an empty house, Margaret suddenly felt uneasy about their absence, particularly because they hadn’t informed her about going out. Her instincts gnawed at her the wrong way, making her incessantly worried that just maybe they weren’t out for a morning run. She paced around the house contemplating what ruckus must have happened while she was asleep, she would have felt better if Avery answered her calls but she didn’t and she didn’t know Fredrick’s number either. Contemplating of a way to reach out to Fredrick, Margaret’s mind wandered to Alex. She sighed sadly, wondering if he felt as helpless and lonely as she was. She sauntered out of the house to the front porch, lost in thoughts with her gaze fixed on her phone screen. Her thoughts seemed to dance rhythmically with her increasing heartbeat,“I’m going to call him.” She breathed.Alex’s phone rang endlessly as he drove past the quiet estates of White Avenue, he made no attempts to reach out for his screen in that mome

Kites or rhombus? I always have my way

“I am pregnant…” Avery said.Her words were suspended in the air like the handles of kites, pushing its way to the clouds.As exciting as the news, Fredrick couldn’t find it in him to be elated. Avery had opted to rather abort it and he could not argue with it.“A mini Avery Hughson or a junior Fredrick Hughson.Avery, I think it’ll be just great!” Margaret exclaimed,“You’ll make a great mother and I, a great wine aunt!!” She continued squealing excitedly.“It is good news, congratulations.” Alex said, yet his voice held no hint of excitement, he was as grim as Fredrick. Avery noticed them exchange glances at each other, to her, Alex’s look meant “what about the contract?” and Fredrick’s reply was somewhat of a shrug, “what comes, comes.”“This is no place to bring a child” she thought to herself, the more she thought about it, the more it affirmed that her child could be faced with a possibility of suffering, a kind of suffering that would lead to a temporary guardian, there was no

Maybe, something big is coming

“I don’t know if I said it the right way, I don’t want to hurt you or anything but I want the child, Avery, I need him.” Fredrick said, he was sombre and exhausted from the argument.He just wanted a cool everyday with his wife, like other married couple. But Avery had been fighting him all week since they had that grim morning where Alex pushed him off the cliff- he considered it an off cliff situation because he initially wanted to give in to Avery’s fears and remove the baby. But Alex pushed him off that cliff when he fought for that baby and it suddenly occurred to me how wrong he was, he actually needed him. He sacrificed his relationship with Avery for that child’s cause and he would stand by it,“I don’t want to loose out on my child because of reasons you won’t share…” “What more reason?! Think about it Fredrick, the explanation you would give to this child, “you were conceived in a time when your parents were just having sex on contract. After the contract, my dad paid my mo

I’m in search of me, who am I?

“Did you ever find your birth parents, Noah?” Alex repeated, the table had suddenly fell silent, with Alex’s question hovering over them, Margaret was caught off guard by her boyfriend’s intrusion and she found it very unsettling.“No…” Noah replied indifferently.“He wasn’t even looking for them.” Margaret cut in, “Don’t ask him such things” “I can’t help it. I found something” Alex replied, he stretched out to hold Margaret’s hand,“Forgive me, I won’t intrude anymore.” “It’s not intrusion, I just don’t want you to remind him of things like that and end up ruining his mood.”“They don’t deserve him, whoever they are.”With that, Margaret jolted from the table, she grabbed Noah by the hand and pulled him up.“Let’s go to bed.” She muttered,“I can’t just leave a glass of d’Orsay untouched…besides, I want to hear about them.”“What?!” Margaret exclaimed,“I promise I won’t let it ruin my mood.” Noah pleaded.“Besides, it wouldn’t hurt to know at least one thing about them, please…

Adrian is missing

“Before I met my wife, I had no need for family. I saw no need. We are expecting a baby and I want the best for him, I want him to have everything I never had. A mother, a father, uncles,…”He didn’t even realize that his thoughts had been formed in his lips and he was spewing out exactly what he had in his head.“By Uncles, I mean you, Alex, and you Noah. We have a child to raise.” “May we never repeat the mistakes our parents made with us, with the boy that is coming to us!” Noah prayed. It was like him, it was like him to be totally crushed one minute and be completely excited the next.He was the very light of the McGregor family without the slightest idea. Noah had been the patch holding them together as a family for years and he didn’t have any idea.It suddenly occurred to her that it was okay, it was okay for him to go in search of himself- that wouldn’t stop her from being his sister, it wouldn’t stop her for spending the rest of her life making it up to her for thinking h
