I reared back in shock at the look on her face and whispered trembling." Mum!" I called out." Don't you dare?" She yelled. " How could you hurt your elder sister? She has done nothing towards you" She said and I gasped." No mum, I di......" I tried explaining but she shut me up. " Will you just shut up?" She asked not willing to listen to my explanation. I turned to look at Cruella who was still on the floor pretending to wince in pain while lying on the floor. threw me a smirk when our eyes met which I returned with a glare." You still have the guts to glare at her in my presence," My mum said with a gasp." I raised you badly, didn't I?" She asked rhetorically. " Mum" I called sadly but she ignored me tending to Cruella instead. " Mummy, please do not be harsh on her. She does not know what she is doing and I am sure she did not mean to" Cruella explained pretending to try and protect me but pushing me deeper into trouble instead.As I expected, Mum frowne
I stood there dazed, my clothes pooled at my feet. I gave a sad little smile as I let it sink into me what type of people I had as a family and how right the nice doctor was the day before.' I guess I should have listened to him and not come' I thought sadly. I stood there for several hours until it started drizzling and not because I was expecting or wishing for the door to open and my mum to welcome me into her open arms or maybe deep down, I do wish that but the reality was, I wanted this betrayal and abandoning to sink in. ' It was time I moved on and forgot them like they have now' I thought and somehow wished the door would fly open and Mum or Cruella would at least tell me to get in since it was beginning to rain but who was I kidding?They did not care. I made my way out of the estate in the rain while also trying not to break down into tears again. I was starting to annoy myself. ' Why do I cry at every little thing?' I wondered. " I guess that is wh
ACAPELLA'S POV. " What is going on?" I wondered in absolute shock. This was not the Doctor Robert I know. This man looks older and his face has wrinkles and he has half bald hair with the sides covered in grey hairs. ' Maybe the nurse made a mistake and went to get you another Doctor Robert?' My subconscious suggested and I nodded agreeing to her words. ' Maybe!' " Excuse me young lady" The old man called and I raised my head to look at him. " Yes?" I answered. " Is everything alright?" He asked and I nodded. " Of course, why do you ask?" I threw back a question at him. " Well, I read your file before coming here since I am actually in charge of you but I had an accident. A minor one actually and another doctor was assigned to you" He began explaining and I started to feel somehow confused like something was not right. " He was originally the doctor in charge of me?" I wondered. " Then who was the doctor taking care of me before his arrival?" I wondered. " Oh, D
ACAPELLA'S POV. I hastily took the white envelope which surprisingly felt heavy and bulky making me wonder what was in it.' Could a letter be as heavy as this?' I wondered. I turned it around to find out who it was addressed to and found my name. " To Dear Acapella" was written on it. I was amused for I had no friends who might want to write to me. ' Just haters' I thought and shivered as goosebumps covered my entire body. " Could they perhaps be the one?" I muttered in fear as I turned the letter around again to find out whether the name of the address was on it.' Could this probably be a letter of curse?' I wondered." Tch" My subconscious scoffed. " How can your haters address you as Dear Acapella?" She asked and I felt she was right.' They could not be the one' I thought and started wondering who could have been the sender for it had no name of the person. ' Should I perhaps ask one of the nurses who might have delivered this?' I wondered." I doubt you should"
ACAPELLA'S POV. I slowly opened the seal on the envelope and poured the contents onto my lap curiously. I wanted to see what on earth was making the envelope so bulky. What I saw next made me gasp in astonishment. Apart from the letter which spilled onto my lap, bundles of money also followed. I quickly placed my right palm over my mouth to prevent me from screaming. I then slowly picked up the bundles of money lying on my lap one by one with trembling hands completely ignoring the letter or should I say forgetting about it. ' Who is kind enough to send me such a huge amount of money?' I wondered in amusement for I had no friends nor families. Just haters. " Why don't you go through the letter" My subconscious suggested. " Perhaps you might find some clues" She encouraged and I nodded. I slowly took the letter from my lap and opened it. I took a deep breath before I started reading the contents aloud. " Hey Acapella" The writer greeted. " I know despite trying to co
OMINISCIENT'S POV. In a dimly lit underground basement, Three guys can be seen under the light lamp playing games of snooker with each of them having a lit cigarette in their mouth. " Fuck you Romano" The huge guy amongst them cursed. " I was supposed to have that," He said with a twisted expression of envy as he watched Romano, the youngest of them pack up all the bundles of money laid on the table with a happy grin on his face. " Do not be greedy Casio" The thin tall guy amongst them warned." You have been stacking us and winning for days now" He reminded him and Casio turned to glare at him with fury. " Seems like today is his day and luck has hit him, let him enjoy it," Jack, the talk, thin one who was the only American amongst them said. " Piss off white" Casio cursed in Italian hitching for a fight but Jack being the gentle, calm one who despises trouble just shrugged ignoring Casio's insulting words. " Easy there you two," Romano said trying to calm Casio down.
ACAPELLA'S POV. ITALY.FEW MONTHS AFTER. "Acapella, Acapella". Evelyn Johnson, the manager of this cafe, A beautiful warm woman in her early forties called out to me." Yes, Mrs Johnson" I answered leaving what I was doing and rushing up to her to answer her calls." Please, can you take the orders from those two young men over there?" She pleaded, pointing with her fingers to two unfamiliar faces a few feet from us, sitting by the corner of the window and kinda hidden from clear sight. " Of course, Mrs Johnson" I answered flashing her a bright smile." Thank you so much" She appreciated. " You are such a darling" She added with a smile and I nodded before turning to leave when she suddenly held me by one of my arms. I turned to look at her in alarm." Is anything the problem?" I found myself asking." No dear" She replied. " I just want to ask you how many times I have told you to call me just Evelyn?" She commented and I gave a shy giggle." But you are way older than me" I
ACAPELLA'S POV. Everyone went back to what they were doing previously after the blonde-haired guy and his minion left. I and Isabella also thanked everyone for their help earlier." You two, be careful," Jack said addressing I and Isabella." Especially you" He added while pointing at me and I nodded." He seems intent on his threat, so you guys better watch your backs," Jack told us." Do not worry Jack" Isabella said. "As I told him earlier, he can't do shit" She assured." He is just rubbing off with the mouth" She added and I giggled." You cannot say so" Jack nudged her. " A man can do anything when he is railed" He reminded us." And with the way, I was looking at him earlier, the guy was beyond pissed" Jack added." You do not think he will carry out his threat, do you?" I asked Jack and he shrugged." I cannot say for sure" He answered me." I do not think he will, Cops are always patrolling 24 hours straight," Isabella said." Which is why I told her, I cannot say for
