I have no friends

Racheal decided then and there to call Spencer Sherrod’s bluff. He must not know she still cared about Steffan. She would not let him twist her arm into a surrender. If his fear of that evidence was so great that he came all the way here, she was going to make sure it got into Steffan’s hands only. “Why do you think I care about someone that let you bring me here?” Racheal asked. “You heard him say I am dead to him. He is dead to me too.” “That’s a lie. You think I cannot spot it when you are lying?” “The way you did when you accused me of killing Skylar? You probably know I did not do it,” She said bitterly. Spencer shrugged. “I had a suspicion you didn’t, but that was my one chance to put you away. You would have ruined my plans at the rate you were helping Steffan find answers.” he smiled bitterly. “Whoever set you up did a good job of it.” “You cheapened Skylar’s death for your petty ambitions?" She gasped. "You are a horrible father.” “You will take that back,” Spenc

I don't want to hear it

He stood up, hating himself for feeling so much for someone who deceived him all these months, the woman who betrayed him even when he was devoted to her. He felt shame for caring about the life of someone who had a direct hand in his sister’s death. He stomped towards Isaac angrily and gripped him by the shirt, lifting the man’s heel off the floor so he could look in his face. “What is it to you? Are you in love with her?” He barked. “No sir.” The man said with a stoic face, looking ahead. “Then what is your f*cking business? Why are you here? Telling me this?” “Because she is dying.” “How is that my f*cking business? Didn’t Skylar just die too?” He yelled angrily in the man’s face. “Yes sir.” “Then why are you f*cking telling me?” He yelled, his heart feeling like it might burst. “Because you are the last person I can ask for help. The other two people are out of reach.” He let Isaac go, and the man stumbled back, but quickly arranged his now rumpled shirt, and stood stil

You must forget her

He looked at Spencer Sherrod in shock. “You went all the way to Tourris?” He doubted the president had gone there at all since he got into the presidency seat. “Of course. You are my son. You expect me to just sit and watch you suffer?”He looked at the president in confusion. For many reasons, he was not buying this at all. “And did she confess to killing Skylar?”“I guess I was a fool to think she would. I mean. I had a gun aimed at her head that time, and she still would not admit it.” Spencer Sherrod said.He continued watching his father. He knew the man well. He would not go all the way to Tourris except for something very important. Something that was important to him.Could that something be the little woman? Was he abusing her like he did Malorie?He felt a shiver run down his back. He would strangle the man right here. Then he paused. What was wrong with him? He had not confirmed that his father truly did all this. Why was he feeling so protective over a woman that

Out of Tourris

“You are the crazy one. You think befriending her will get you out of here? Or get you better treatment?” The woman yelled back at Emily, standing up weakly.Racheal frowned as she began to move further away from the edge. They were all weak from starvation.“You are a bitter person.” Emily screamed at the woman.“You think I am bitter?” The woman said, reached out and grabbed Racheal who was walking past her. “A bitter woman would toss her away to have peace and quiet.” The woman said, beginning to pull her back towards the edge.“Let me go.” Racheal pleaded weakly. Her skull felt like it would soon burst.“Get your hands off her.’ Emily said, fiercely. All the other women were beginning to sit up. Racheal smelled trouble. She should never have told them she was related to the president, no matter how much they asked. It made them hate her immediately. They did not seem to care that she was here, in the same predicament as them because of the same president.They hated her. Hate

Capital hospital

“When we get to the hospital, get out of Yin.” Racheal said.“I cannot just abandon you.” Emily replied, turning to stare at her in shock.“All I just gave up will be useless if you are recaptured. Leave Yin.”“OK.” Emily said hesitantly. “There must be something I can do for you.”Racheal looked at her and smiled. “Expose Spencer Sherrod. All I have told you so far, publish it.” Then the pain became too much, and she passed out.11:00 pm27-07-2021Capital hospital, YinRacheal opened her eyes and found herself staring into a familiar face. She winced as the pain came on again.“Easy.” The young doctor said calmly.“Doctor Leo,” Racheal said, finally recognizing him. She noticed she was now in a white shift dress, lying on a firm hospital bed.“Yes, Mrs Sherrod.” He smiled sadly. She looked around, she was alone. “Where is Emily?” “Gone. That is what she said I should tell you," he said.Racheal nodded, relieved. She hoped the woman managed to make it out of Yin safely. She hope

About your wife

He opened the door and went in, as his housekeeper bowed. He nodded at the woman, and headed upstairs.“I thought they would stop calling by now.” He said, wiping sweat off his face with the hand towel.“They said it’s about your wife.”He stopped. “She is still at the hospital?” He asked, surprised. She had gone there a month ago. Was she purposely trying to stay back so she would not return to Tourris? That was something a clever, deceitful woman like her would do. A hospital was not complete freedom, but it was still not the horrible place he heard Tourris was.“Next time they call, forward it to me.”“Yes sir.”He took the airpods out of his ears and went into the shower. He had breakfast, got ready and decided he would go to the hospital to see for himself. Maybe ask her what she meant about that message from his father. He did not mean to spend too long there. He did not plan to stare at her lying face any more than he had to. He was barely just healing from the heartbre

Doctor Leo

10:30 am28-07-2021Capital hospital, YinRacheal clung to Leo, as her whole body shook. One minute she had been laughing at the silly party hat he was wearing when he brought her birthday cake in, then she stood up to take the hat and wear it on her own head,but the floor seemed to have disappeared under her.She was lucky for Leo’s quick reflexes, she would have hit her head badly. He gently lowered her to the bed. She frowned and looked around. Was she imagining it? She could have sworn she smelled Steffan. She would recognize that smell she had breathed in so much in the past, anywhere.Maybe she was imagining it. What would he need here? She looked up to see Leo was staring down at her.“You are getting weaker,” he said.She said nothing as she began to cut a slice off the cake the good doctor got for her twenty-fourth birthday. Of course, she knew she was getting weaker, and she had lost so much weight at this point. She also knew that her chances of survival were getti

Archaic laws

The kid was staring at him with intense anger and hate. “Call your men off. Racheal is not going back to Tourris.”“And?”The kid paused and looked at him. “You are so cold.”“Is that what you came all the way here to say?” he said, returning to his desk. He turned to his desktop, and continued to watch the latest software update demo.“You have to come to the hospital to approve her treatment.” The kid said.“I don’t have to do anything,” he responded.“What?”“If that’s all, you can leave.” “Are you completely soulless? She just needs your signature, not your money for treatment.”He said nothing. Of course, she did not need his money. She was one of the richest women in Yin, and since they were not yet divorced, she had access to his wealth too. “All you have to do is sign.” The kid said, his voice no longer sounded angry, it was softer, he was actually pleading.He looked up at the kid. Poor thing was in love. She probably did not feel the same way for him. But knowing the li

Skylar

07:00 am31-08-2021Capital hospital, YinIt had been days since Racheal last saw Leo. He promised her he was going to find help for her, no matter what it took. He left her in the care of a nurse who was his friend. The nurse spent her time taking care of her, even after her work shift was done. The way Leo had done when he was here.Racheal worried about him. Hoped he did not go challenge the Sherrods, and got in trouble. She was not sure she would be able to handle the pain if anything happened to him too.She groaned as she felt another bout of headache coming on. She was so exhausted from this pain. Her body was weak.“I will give you something to help you sleep.” The nurse hurried beside her. Racheal nodded, and watched her inject something into the IV sac.“You will be fine in no time.”“Thank you.” Racheal said weakly.She moved her eyes to the door as she sensed someone coming in. She squinted, thinking the man in scrubs looked familiar. When he took the nose guard dow

Patterns

09:00 am02-09-2021Quiver holdings, Yin capitalHe stood up from his desk in frustration. It had been over twenty-four hours now since he dreamed about Skylar, but he was still unable to concentrate on anything. Why did the first dream he had about his sister still somehow have to be connected to the little woman?He went into his office restroom, and splashed cool water on his face. He stared at himself in the mirror. He looked so different. Anyone who saw him would know immediately that he had not been sleeping well. He sighed, and went back out to his desk.He tried to concentrate on work, but gave up after wasting thirty minutes. He packed up, and rode the elevator downstairs.“The gym.” He said to the chauffeur as Justin closed his car door. If there was anything that would help him relax it was punching some sacks, better even a human.He arrived at the gym and went into his private locker to change.“A coincidence I meet you here today, or you were thirsty for a beating
