CHAPTER TWENTY ONE“So, tell me more about yourself, I haven’t seen you around here” Aunty Sue asked Maeve as she helped her lay the table, she was suddenly so interested in knowing Maeve unlike when Alyssa was around to see Dylan, her interest was suddenly in Maeve  ”Hmm…there is nothing important about myself, it is boring actually, apart from staying alone all by myself with my dad out there at Cambridge” she said and Dylan’s aunt turned to look at her, in a s much as she admired her beauty and her personality, she wasn’t expecting her to say that, she knew that she was probably a spoilt rich kid who was being taken care by house helps, but to her utter surprise the girl was different from  what she had expected, she was calm, composed and was social too, the few minutes she was around her, she already knew the type of person she was and she thought she would recommend her nephew to sate her, that wa

CHAPTER TWENTY THREE“I can’t believe your ant told you that, I mean, how free are you with her that you talk about anything? I would like to have such a relationship with my dad but you see he is always busy with his work that he forgets he has a daughter somewhere around here” Maeve said that night as they prepared themselves to sleep, she had just gotten out of the shower and Dylan was done with talking to his aunt, they were just talking about what his aunt had just told him“I don’t think he feels that way for you, your dad loves you it is just his works needs sacrifices, but he provides everything for you does he?” Dylan asked and she nodded absently “Of course he does, I can’t complain but that is not all I want from him, he is my father for heaven sake and the only thing he can do is be there for me especially after  what happened to mom,  was only a kid when mom died and the least he could do was

CHAPTER TWENTY FIVE “So, you already talked to your aunt about what we found out yesterday or you still holding back?” Maeve asked Dylan that night as they both enjoyed the party, he had just gotten there and the party was lively, he wasn’t expecting a lot of people to turn up but Maeve was among the most beautiful girls in the school so he had no doubts why a lot of people showed up, it was a pool party, they were seated on one of the seats just across the swimming pull, Maeve was sipping on her wine while Dylan was taking a tusker cider, he did not want to get much drunk that night since Alicia’s birthday party was the following day and he did not want to have hangovers on her sister’s special day “Yeah, I talked to her about it earlier today, it is not like I had a choice anyway did I?’ he asked her and she chuckled in response“Of course not and why would you say that? she is your aunt and of course

CHAPTER TWENTY SEVENAlyssa stayed at the place she made a stop for close to five minutes figuring out what to do, she was feeling pain all over her body it was when that she had started feeling the pain all over her body, the limping leg was hurting her so much and she then started feeling dizzy, she thought of calling Caitlyn but the n thought against it, she was probably in bed with some guy kissing the hell out of him or she maybe was making out with a random guy, she was not her best friend as compared to Maeve, Maeve had a pure heart, and Alyssa knew that she was a true friend but Mike never wanted her hanging out with Maeve and she sometimes wondered why her boyfriend loathed her friend so much, Caitlyn on the other hand was the one that Mike wanted Alyssa to walk with and be friends with, what she didn’t understand was why would he prefer Caitlyn to Maeve, she was now stuck in a bushy place, in the cold and in pain and she kept contemplating on who to call, she

CHAPTER TWENTY NINE “Can you believe that Mike slapped Alyssa yesterday, you know sometime I wonder what is always on the mind of some men when they slap women, I mean women are the most vulnerable human beings that should be respected ad not beaten up, and an the same time I am wondering why she was so defensive about him when I tried to say that she should report him, she got so mad at me and I had to withdraw my statement and it got me thinking, what is it that really happens behind these closed doors? Must be a lot that people are trying to hide just so they can escape the reality, it is a sad reality that we live in” Dylan said to his aunt the following day as he helped her arrange the living room, they were holding the party in the backyard of their house and a lot of people had already arrived and the kids were playing outside, Melissa had invited some of her friends from school and it was a surprise that she had made quite a lot of friend within the
