“Then why do you keep yelling at me?” “Because you keep questioning me. Everything I do is for your safety! Everything I would do is to keep you safe. I need you to trust me some times because if something happens to you, I would kill myself and I need you to understand that okay?”They got interrupted.“Anna, we have to go now” Alex said, coming in.She dragged her box and walked out of the room. Damian sighed and got ready to go to the airport. She spend the day packing up. Her phone beeped. It was Damian.“Hey mama, how are you doing? How is packing coming up? You said you had some shopping to do. Send me a list. I will pick up everything on my way back home”She replied him, texting him a list of things she wanted to get. He replied her“Got it” he texted back with a lot of heart emoji. She smiled at her phone.“Now, you’re texting him and smiling. If I didn’t know better, I would say you are in love with him but I remember you saying you don’t believe in love”“Maybe, maybe no
She remained distant till they got to Cordina. Damian already had a car waiting for them. They got in and they headed to his house. When they got in, his father wasn’t even home. He was glad because he didn’t know how is father would react to him bringing visitors to the house to stay but he didn’t care. If his father wasn’t cool with it, then he could as well find another place to stay for the time that they were here. They got in and the servants bowed before him“It feels so good to be home!” He said“I agree with you. I can’t believe I stayed away from Cordina for four months!” he heard someone sayHe looked and saw Justin. He smiled and walked up to him, giving him a hug“you could have called to say you were in Cordina already!” Damian said to him“Why would I ruin a surprise like that? It makes no sense to me! Welcome home! Your mother has treated me like a king for the past three days and I almost don’t want you at home anymore” Justin said to him“That’s too bad. Where’s m
His mother sighed. She knew he was angry. She knew she should have told him earlier but if she did, he would have stopped school and he would have come home just to scream at his father and they would probably get in an argument which might not end well. “Let me talk to him” Anna said as she stood up from the table and headed towards the direction that Damian had goneShe walked round and found herself in a garden. She saw him sitting on the grass all by himself. She walked towards him and sat beside him“You know you can’t kick her out like that. She has nowhere to go and this family is the only family she has left”“No it’s not. My mom is not her mom and I am in no way her brother. I don’t care if she has nowhere to stay Annabelle! She is in the wrong house and she is nor permitted to stay here!”“She is your half sister Damian! You can’t just throw her out!”“I can!”“You shouldn’t! Just wait till your dad gets back and maybe you can carry out all of this anger on him. She’s m
He looked at her and smiled“So much hate in your eyes, young child. Have we met before?” He asked“That doesn’t matter. I’m done letting you hurt people!” She said to himHe stepped back and she bent down to remove the dagger from his chest. He gasped back to reality. He looked up at her, trying to clear his vision. Why was she here? He had told her to stay in his room till he told her to come back out. She had disobeyed him without thinking. “Who are you?” He asked her“It doesn’t matter but I would be here for a while and while I an here, you either behave yourself or Damian isn’t the only person you would be scared off” she said to himHer brother came downstairs“Anna, are you okay?”“That voice is one I would never forget!” Phil said as he looked at Alex. “Oh my, how little Alex has grown” he said“Phil, surprised to see that I’m not dead yet?”“Dead? Why would I want you dead?”“I have no idea”“If you are Alex, then this must be your sister. No wonder, she has the spee
“I am sorry I yelled at you for coming to my rescue”“And….” She said again “And what?” he asked, not willing to say another sorry to her“And …..” she said“And I’m sorry for trying to kick Sally out of the house. It wasn’t a gentlemanly. I would try to make it all up as soon as I can. Now can you get in the tub and get ready?” “Yes, I can” she said as she stood up from his bed.She was about to walk out when he grabbed her by the waist and kissed her. He stopped to look at her. He could tell that she wanted more than that. Was she leading him on so she could stop him later on? He slipped his hands under her dress and touched her bare skin. She let out a little moan and she leaned into him“Don’t be nasty, princess” he said and he let her goHe turned away and heard her hiss before walking into the bathroom. She laid there for about an hour before coming back out. When she was out, she saw a dress on the bed. He had probably dropped it there and left the room. She touched the
“I didn’t know that she was going to get affected, I swear!” Alex said, with tears rolling down his face“Alex, what exactly did you do?” Arielle asked“I am trying to bring my mother back. Elma asked me if it was what I truly wanted and I said yes. She said a price had to be paid and I said I was ready to pay it in full. I had no idea that Anna was the price!”“You traded your sister’s life for your mom’s? Cam you even hear yourself?” Damian said, grabbing him by the collar“Let him go!” His Mom ordered and he obeyed at once. “He had no idea that his sister was the price that was going to be paid”“It is a life for a life. Her life is being taken and given to your mom. She is fighting it but she is getting weak. Once she gives up, her life would be snuffed out of her body, completely” Sally said“Now is the time to choose. Who would you rather have with you? Your mom or your sister?” Damian asked“I have to go!” Alex said“Go where? Your sister is dying because of you and you
He let go of Arielle and walked up to his sister. She was warmer now“She is going to be okay but she needs rest. She should be awake tomorrow morning but she will be extremely weak” Sally said“How do you know so much about these things?” Damian asked her“Because I tried to bring back someone I lost. I had an elder sister and I almost got my mom killed trying to bring her back. Starting to think I made a mistake” she said“Why?” Arielle asked “Why I feel it was a mistake? Well, I chose my Mom over my elder sister and now my mom is dead. Either ways, my mom was supposed to die. Maybe if I had chosen my elder sister, I wouldn’t be alone” she said“You are not alone. You’ve got dad and Mom. Mist importantly, you’ve got me. You have a whole new family and family stick together” Damian said as he held her shoulderShe looked at him and smiled. She was glad that he was warming up to her. Alex kissed his sister’s forehead“I am so sorry. I don’t know if I can ever make it up to you”
“I think we are getting ahead of ourselves here. Odette has a boyfriend and she does love him. They have been together way before I left Cordina and decided to school in the central”“Maybe she does have a boyfriend but does she love him though? I doubt that. She is obviously interested in you and I think you know this too”“Maybe” He admitted. “We did have something before and I slept with her but that was where it ended. After that, we decided to keep things on the friendship level. We tried to but then it didn’t work. One night, she came over and we had sex again. The next morning, she cane with the news of she had found love” Damian said “And when you were sleeping with her, did you feel anything for her?” Anna asked“I don’t understand. Feel anything?”“Were you in love with her when you were sleeping with her?”“Love is a strong word. I wasn’t in love with her. I did want her though. You could say I lusted after her but love? I was never in love with Odette”“That is pro
