A Call to Frank

LIONEL“Do we have a problem, Ryker?” I felt the anger rising within me. “I thought we'd had our differences all cleared out. I told you—I'd investigate the matter. Wasn’t that it?”He scoffed. “Still, you threaten her to change what she had said about going to the Maldives?"My head spun wildly at his remarks. That very much explained where the new attitude was coming from. He had seen me in the study and of course, he thought it best to ruin the opportunity she had at cancelling those stupid plans.But how does Ryker just suddenly know everything?“Are you monitoring us, Ryker?” I asked now. “Because you shouldn’t be. Whatever is happening between I and Regina is none of your business.”He scoffed. “Do I have to monitor anything? You don’t even have an idea of just how obvious and open your hatred for Regina Donovan is becoming. I was just passing by the study and that was it. It could have been anyone else. It could have been

What Happened in the Night

LIONELAfter my call with Frankenstein, I felt much more fulfilled. It was satisfying to have set the work in motion and now I could focus on doing something else to keep me awake through the night. I had just settled on my system and began a task when the voice came from the door.“For how long do you plan to do this, Lionel?”I looked up to find Grandpa. I sighed heavily. “Is there a problem, Grandpa? You should be asleep.”“How do I sleep knowing you aren’t sleeping either?” He replied.I really didn’t want to have this conversation. “Believe me, Grandpa... this isn’t about whatever you’re thinking. I and Regina are cool.”“Really? Then what could keep you from staying in the same room with your wife?” He shot back.“Isn’t it obvious? I’ve got some jobs to handle. Once I’m done with it tonight, I’d join Regina.”“Lionel, it’s been only two days since you got married. What job is it that can’t wait for just a

Mind Games

REGINA I totally couldn’t tell what to make out of Lionel anymore. I could even see the surprise on Grandpa’s face when Lionel showed up all of a sudden. He approached us with a smile I could count as fake, looking from me to Grandpa. “I think we should definitely have the honeymoon, and if she says we go to the Maldives, then that’s great!” He said as he drew closer. I felt weird. I felt strange. Something was wrong. Suddenly, I felt his arm wrap around my waist and I fidgeted, totally not expecting such a move, completely revolted by the feel of his arm. What hell of a move was he pulling? What type of mind game was he playing this time?“Or what do you think, Regina? Let’s give it a try?” He asked as he stared right into my eyes. I was frozen, staring back at him, staring into his eyes. I was trying to interpret the message they were conveying. What exactly are you doing, Lionel?I easily got a grip of myself as I broke into a smile

Preparation for the Journey

REGINAIt had been a while since I saw that cheerful, friendly part of Ryker. At this point, all I could think was that Ryker didn’t deserve the stress he was going through worrying about me and a marriage that wasn’t supposed to happen. We continued having fun while it lasted even all through breakfast. Lionel had not shown up and that was just great. He didn’t need to turn up and ruin the moment. After breakfast, I called Gwen for a meetup. The honeymoon was going to come faster than I was thinking, especially now that Grandpa had seen he had Lionel’s approval. I was really going to miss Gwen if she wasn’t going to follow us.Skip to when I had asked her. “What? No way!” Gwen had remarked. I and Gwen sat together at one of our favorite spots that afternoon munching cakes. “Oh, Gwen. I’m trying to imagine what it would be like being with just Lionel. I feel like it’s going to be a disaster.”“Well, definitely, I won’t lie to

The Air of Asia

REGINAJust as I had subconsciously thought, there wasn’t much information on them. I basically found the same things the priest had said—they were an awkward breed of people that lived deep in the mountains in the Maldives. They were a special breed of wolf clan that honored the idea of not getting polluted by the precepts of modernity. There was also an illustration of the mountain they were believed to be living in alongside other pictures and illustrations that suggested what they were like. Basically, they were Asians with bald heads and dressed in red scarves. They were humans. Things could not get any worse than that. Then there was the most daunting part—the reason they are believed to be myths—they will only come to you if they want to be found. You could not find them. What if they don’t want me to find them eventually? I decided not to conclude just yet and instead give myself the benefit of doubt. Shortly after, I eventually fell as

About Last Night

LIONELI had come at the perfect time to call off Regina’s move at cancelling the idea of the honeymoon and pouring fuel on fire. Still, I could see the shock on their faces, looking at how I had suddenly changed my mind. I had to make it sound even more convincing and of course, there was one way to see to that - draw Regina closer. I could feel her discomfort and fear at my sudden actions. I was equally uncomfortable with having to place my arm around her waist and draw her close. It was fine, though. It was only for this one time and I promised it would never happen again. Good enough, it worked out just fine and Regina played along just right. Shortly after, she came to me just as I had expected, asking for answers to my sudden change of mind and of course, there was the perfect answer already waiting. Further confusion. I could see she was lost, unsure of what I had in mind. Fortunately for her, I had no actua

Forced Into A Room

LIONELThe conversation between I and Ryker continued.We laughed. “Not really used to not having you around the house.”I nodded humorously. “Come to think of it, I’ve never actually gone for such a holiday, nor have I even worked myself either. What have I been doing with my life all the while?”Ryker laughed as he caught the humor. “Being there for me and Grandpa.” He replied. I nodded now and it all fell quiet. Then he made his way out. At this point, I found myself wishing the terms of this marriage had been totally different and that things didn’t have to turn out the way they did. Imagine not pretending about the feelings I felt. My life would have been all perfect. Now, I felt like I was definitely scamming Ryker and Grandpa and it was only a matter of time before they both realized that I was just waiting for the right moment to get rid of Regina. The next morning, just as Grandpa had said, everythi

A New Friend

REGINA The first person I called as soon as I touched the grounds of Asia was Gwen. “Are you seriously telling me you’re now in Asia?” She was too excited to even remember the circumstances that had brought me here. “Here I am, dear.” I replied. “Really wish you were here.”“You’ll be doing just great. Dropped by at your place today to see your dad. He doesn’t appear to be doing as well as he sounds without you around.”I laughed. “Dad will do fine. He just got used to having me around so he forgot all his friends. He’d be back to his normal life soon.”“How would the touring be carried out?” Gwen asked. “Don’t know. I think Grandpa has it all planned out.” I replied. Behind my mind, I remembered my real purpose of coming. “It’s going to be a great time.”“And Lionel?“I knew she’d ask. “Well, he’s practically acting like I don’t exist, which is great because I’m doing just the same and wishing for

Trip to the Maldives

LIONELI found it funny to see that she was already sound asleep, right on the bed. She was folded to one corner of the bed, almost like she knew it wasn’t like home where I could make for myself a bed on the bare floor. We both had to use the bed and she had reserved an island of space for me to occupy without being anywhere close. Not a bad idea. I made my way to the bed as I dried my body. I made myself comfortable in a pair of briefs and slid into the mattress. Like Regina, I ensured I kept to my extreme corner such that just enough space lay between us. That way, it made it easier to be convinced I was sleeping alone. The night went by as quickly as it would have when there wasn’t enough time to rest after so long of bad sleeping patterns. What had woken me up was the ring of my cellphone. Grandpa. I figured I hadn’t called the previous night. As I picked up the call now, I noticed Regina was not in the room. She had pr

The Forest Tour

LIONEL“What pair?” I tried to peer into the darkness, using the beams of light handing around the beach. Your wife and her new friend. I spotted them just then. Regina and the man from the cafeteria. They were both standing by the water, looking out into the ocean. The man seemed to be saying something as he pointed out to the horizon while Regina laughed. “Excuse me, who’s this dude?” I asked in irritation. Once again, he had suddenly popped up, making Regina all cheerful. I would have asked the same thing. Lucius replied. He’s making it easier for her to simply forget us and move on. I paused. “Wasn’t that the plan? Have Regina and I go out separate ways and never have to feel like the other person existed?“ I thought. And do you plan to make it all so easy? Lucius asked. That’s not how it works, Lionel, and you know about it. Now, when I first set eyes on her, I knew who she was. I knew she
