Could that be Austin? I walked outside the room while tying my robe around my waist; I spotted a large looming figure strutting up the stairs. I could not see who it was but the unique cologne of my dear husband gave him away. “Did you bring what I asked you to?” I asked him. He nodded and then was enveloped in a hug. “Yes, I did. Are you sure about that?” “I think I am pregnant,” I stated. “Come on, let's check. I am exhilarated,” We went through the instructions given and did the procedure the exact way they have instructed. He had bought three different tests and we tested them all. It was just the wait we had to do. Till we waited Austin kept on talking about how he will upgrade the security around the house. He also said that he will work from home now to take care of my needs. He is really jubilant. The wait was very long but it was worth it. I was in fact pregnant. One of the tests also mentioned that I was three months pregnant. We were going to become a family soon. W
It has been a few months since Dimitri was born. Six months to be precise. Dimitri is six months old. Time flies by so quickly. His cute laughter floats throughout the bathroom. His small chubby cheeks turn red from the lack of air intake. I am trying to clean him after he spilled his porridge all over his baby seat along with his clothes. He is very chubby, cute, and sweet. I can go on and on and on about him. My son is the best thing that has ever happened to me. He has my eyes but looks like the baby version of Austin. He is the mixture of both Austin and me. Speaking of Austin, he has looked lost for the past few weeks. I don’t know what is going through his mind and he wouldn’t speak about it if I probed him. That has me thinking that a situation might have occurred at his workplace. He has to handle numerous legal and illegal acts. Something might have happened that has absorbed his attention completely. He has George working under him and he assists him with everything Austi
A deafening crack of thunder filled the atmosphere when I shot once, then twice, then thrice!Thud! He fell when I shot him the third time in a row on the left side of his torso. Sirens could be heard everywhere but that's not the problem. I have the blueprint of this building and I know my way out of this building without being caught.Escaping is easy when you do your homework adequately. That's what I have done! I just have ten seconds left before the cameras in this particular room are activated. Entering the pin for the door to open I went fifteen steps to the right then turning left I went ten steps down the stairs then ten steps down to the second flight of stairs. Oh! I have
I stare at them wide eyed. How can they be here, today? They were going to come back tomorrow. They smile at me and Mrs Rae spreads her hands and starts walking towards me engulfing me in her warmth. While Mr Rae looks at us with a weird emotion in his eyes- a very uncomfortable one, I might add. I have been living with these two amazing people for a long time now."God! You scared me!" I exclaimed. I was jubilant for their early arrival but the look in Mr Rae's eye was not welcoming. When I pulled back from the hug I saw the same look passing through Mrs Rae's eyes. It was just for a mere second but it did not go unnoticed by me."How are you, my child?" She asks. I frown when she calls me 'my child'. She has never called me with that sort of nickname before."I'm good as always!" I say cheerfully. I look at both Mr & Mrs Rae and their faces hold sad, rue filled smiles. What is wrong with them? Why are they behaving like this?"How are you both?" I a
"Come on! One more minute! Punch faster...faster!" my trainer exclaimed. I started punching the punching bag faster and faster, my muscles were burning with the exercise I had done. I swivelled and then kicked the punching bag on the marked spot… which was quite high today.It s been two weeks since my 'named parents were murdered brutally. Since then, I have been training… harshly. I have no choice, time is running like water. I can t stop it. My days are now very hectic. I don t have mental peace, it s all because of Briana; I wish I could just pick up my revolver and shoot her right between her eyes.Her forcefully taking my sister was a big mistake, she will realize it soon, I promise that. Oh well! How can I forget she tried killing me, she shot me on the left side of my torso where normally the heart is present but I m lucky; I guess? My heart is located on the right side of my torso. Thankfully, I would have never experienced the burning desire in
I walked down the hallway to the master bedroom to give the coffee to the owners of this beautiful yet disgusting mansion. I walked with the large copper dish in my hands, the hallway was so quiet that if a pin dropped the sound would echo. This is the same mansion where once a happy family lived.A family in which grief, happiness, was shared. It was a family where the laughter of its members echoed in the whole mansion. If the family knew what was coming for them they would have done something to prevent what was meant to happen. Not once did they think what would happen if one would leave. They would have been mentally prepared. I think so…I sighed, you see, life is nothing related to what we want, it's not a fairytale, it's not what it looks like in movies, books, novels, etcetera; it's different, it's exactly the opposite of what it looks like. 'Always expect the unexpected I still remember Mrs Rae's words, she also said 'Life is not always a bed of roses
Several old, ancient buildings passed by when the car sped by. I couldn't enjoy the beautiful, breathtaking scene as the car was passing every monument at its full speed. Italy is one of the beautiful countries with ancient cities filled with history and art. I slid the window to let the brisk air fill my nostrils, the crisp autumn air came rushing in the car and filled it with its freshness. I looked at my boss sitting beside me and I just noticed that he was looking at me, From when?"Mr Volkov, how far is your mansion?" I asked him."We will be reaching in less than ten minutes," he replied. As if on queue I could see a mansion in the far distance of the field we were going through recently. We reached the compound gates and the gates smoothly slid open by two guards. Then we drove through the compound for a minute or two till we were right in front of the mansion doors.The minute the car stopped the car doors opened; I came out and so did my boss. The mansi
"What are you doing here, Madison?" Austin asked. I was in his room to keep a few documents on his working table, but I saw a locket hanging from the pencil holder when I was leaving. It instantly caught my attention and I pried to look further into it. I picked the locket and felt the texture of the circle pendant in the chain. It looked like it had some type of mechanism to open it as there is something with a sword shape engraved in it. It might be something...I looked at Austin to find him in his sweatpants, I think he was getting ready for bed. I kept the locket down back from where I picked it from. He followed my hand's movement and he stiffened that playful smirk that was long gone. I think I have brought back memories, very unpleasant memories for him. I wonder what happened.He was right in front of me, I was caught off guard, I just blinked once and he was already in front of me."I have asked you something, Madison," he said. I took a few st
