I was about to walk into the special ward where fresh dead bodies were kept before being taken to the morgue to be cremated when I sighted a familiar face. It was Duncan. I wanted to avoid him and act like I didn't see him at first, but I decided to call him, so he could know I saw him."Duncan!" I called out to him. He turned to the direction the voice came from. From the look on his face, I could tell that he was surprised to see me. I wondered why he was surprised though, because he was the one who called me to come and do my things myself. So, what was he expecting? For me not to come?"Hi." He simply replied as I walked to meet him where he stood."I thought you would have left. You called me since, and from how you spoke, you let me know you were already leaving. So, what are you still doing in this premises?" I asked him.He looked reluctant to answer, but he eventually did. "Nothing. Just hanging around.""Oh," I said and there was silence between us. Then, I decided to bring

"Dad, I'm back!" She said.My eyes went wide open in shock as I stared at both of them and I noticed the resemblance. No, it must not be. The lady is my so-called sister?"Laura," he replied and drew her into a small hug. "What did the doctor say?""She just finished up the necessary things and let me know we could leave with her whenever we want to." She replied to him while I stared at both of them.I looked from her to the father and from the father back to her. I still could not believe I had almost a whole complete family and grandma told me they were all dead."There's someone I want to introduce you to, Laura." He said to her, Then, he looked from her to me, and I rolled my eyes."Oh, her? We already met." She said, flashing her white set of teeth to me. I stared at her without a word."You have?" He looked at me with a look of surprise evident on his face and in his voice."Yes. She's Mrs. Xavier Lowell, the lady that got married to the son of the billionaire Lowell in—"His f

I walked into Lowell's mansion tiredly. I had a long day at the hospital. I saw her for the last time before her burial. My so-called father and his daughter, Laura, had already made plans before I got there.They had signed several forms and made several notes, and since they were the first to do that before I got there, they were the ones that would take her away from the morgue, plan her burial and invite other family members; that is if there's any. I would not be too surprised if they told me there were other family members though.Again, I did not notice Brenda in the sitting room when I walked in. Many times I wondered why they had to build such a large sitting room when their family was only made of three people. I was already walking into the house when I heard her speak. Her voice caught me off guard, which made me very shocked."Welcome." She simply said, but her voice resounded in the room. Despite how filled up the room was, her voice still echoed, and that was what made

Zach walked in, closing the door behind him. He was dressed in a suit and had a black suitcase in his hand. "And what is the noise about? I heard you two shouting from outside." He paused to look at both of us. He then dropped his briefcase on the chair right in front of him. Brenda stood up from where she sat and went ahead to hug him. She gave him a soft, lingering kiss on the lips too, which he did back to her, but on the forehead.Aww, sweet love, I thought. They had this type of love and yet, they wanted me to just be with their son for show. I shook my head at them.I was about to leave them in the sitting room and walk in when Zach called me back."Hailey?" He called and I turned back. I walked to where they were to respond to him."Yes? Welcome, sir." I replied.He raised his eyebrows at me, as if questioning me about something, but I didn't know what he was probably questioning me about. Seeing that I didn't get what he was asking me, he said his thoughts in words. "Sir?""Oh

I was already in tears as I walked up to my room. Everything has been falling apart for me since I accepted to come do this three months shit. I could not even believe Duncan could lie to me. If I had known it was for the money he collected from them, I would not have accepted it. Instead, he had lied to me that it was for his job."Why would he even lie to me that he would lose his job if I didn't do it?" I muttered to myself as I climbed the stairs and walked to my room. I was about to enter the room when I remembered Susie. I really missed her.We have not been talking since that day and it was hard for me. I have not even been seeing her around me and it was really tiring for me to carry a whole lot of burden without having someone to talk to. I knew I had to set things straight at this point. I turned from my room door and walked to hers, then I knocked."Whoever it is, don't come in." She replied from the inside and I shook my head. I opened the door despite her reply for me not

I nodded my head up and down to acknowledge to Susie that she hadn't heard me wrong. Tired of all the emotions that had been rolling in my mind after the day's event, I plopped my ass down on my best friend's bed, ready for all the million questions I knew she needed answers to that only I could provide. As if she could read my mind, she sat down beside me almost immediately."How come you said that you have a sister too? Wasn't it just supposed to be a father who surfaced all of a sudden?" She asked me, her eyes fluttering with each of the words she spoke."That was what I thought too, Susie. Until I got to the hospital and I discovered that I suddenly have not just a father but also a sister who has a very sharp tongue," I responded to her questions in a single breath."What did she say to you, Hailey?"I looked at my best friend, "What makes you think that she said something to me?" I asked her."Because I know you, Hailey. You would never hurt someone deliberately."I was grateful

My heart continued to hammer itself wildly. I stood up from where I sat on the bed and moved to where he stood without breaking eye contact with him. Even though I had never been afraid of him, I knew that the man would think I had deceived him because it was exactly what I would have thought also if reversed were the case."Xavier, let me explain," I tried once again."Isn't that why I am standing right here? For you to explain what the hell is going on to me?" At that moment, a weird expression crossed his face that I couldn't fathom its meaning. "You just need to start doing that right now."I swallowed hard. "The thing is… Actually, I didn't lie to you. Grandma Margaret was indeed my only relative," I began. I knew I was doing a poor job at my explanation but I didn't know what else to do or say again to prove that I hadn't lied to him."What about your father and sister? Or are you going to claim that I heard about them wrongly?" He questioned me coldly and I shivered a little."

The hurt I felt intensified in double folds. How dare that man call me again? Hadn't I had enough damage to my life? After I helped him secure his job? He dared to cheat on me and still make it look like I was the fool? Unbelievable jerk.I know I am using a lot of curse words but grandma Margaret was no longer here to reprimand me. To be truthful to you all, at this point in my life, with all the things happening, I wouldn't give any damn if she was. Because I was so frustrated and ready to end it all.The phone stopped ringing and almost immediately, it picked up on its time again. I deliberated picking the call but decided against it immediately. I didn't need all the drama I knew would come with the call and its caller. I just wanted some sane moment to myself. Deciding on that course, I picked up the phone and switched it off.I lay in bed to get some rest after the day's stress. Not up to five minutes later, my stomach rumbled loudly, reminding me that I haven't had even a singl

Susie, God bless her soul, stayed behind until I was ready to leave with my new meal. Xavier stayed behind too but he merely crossed his arm across his chest, looking at us as we passed by him. Susie made sure I walked in the front while she stayed behind me in a protective manner.Guys, always remember to get a best friend who will be true to you as my Susie."Don't think I'm letting her go just because you are acting as a bodyguard, okay?" Xavier said when we were halfway through the stairs.Susie and I both knew he was referring to her, so she responded."How about you try to touch her on my guard? I promise you won't live to tell the tale.""Don't worry, Susie darling. I know just how to handle you. You just wait," Xavier said calmly.If not for that I didn't want to betray the confident pose I was aiming for, I would have looked back in fear at the man. I know you always think I've never been afraid of him. And yes, I have never been. Confused? Let me explain.Do you know when th

A loud banging on the door woke me up the next day. At first, I ignored it, praying that whoever was the culprit would take the silent answer as a cue and leave but the sound only intensified. When the knocking was beginning to give me a headache, I forced myself out of bed to turn whoever was at the door away.I opened the door just as Xavier was about to knock again. His fist stopped midway as he saw me. He made a quick scan of me before he dropped the hand and looked me squarely in the eyes. When he didn't say anything for a minute, I looked away from him, feeling a little shy. He just saw me when I woke up with all my messy hair and puffy eyes.My eyes fell on his chest and I saw the sparkling white shirt he had on along with a polka dot red and black tie. I allowed myself the luxury of letting my eyes roam down his long legs and the red trouser he had on, then straight down to his black polished shoes. I could tell that he was still going to wear his red suit once he was ready to
