Raphael FrancisMy gaze fell on her retreating back and I swear, all I wanted to do right now is go after her and hug her tightly. Tell her everything she just heard was not true. I hissed and hit my fist on the wall roughly yet, I felt no pain at all. The pain in my heart right now is powerful enough to overshadow the one in my hand. I thought I was the one playing her. I thought, I was the one toying with her feelings and making her miserable at the end of everything, never do I know, I was the one deceiving myself. I thought I won't care or be affected by any of this if eventually, she gets to know the real truth but, why am I feeling this way instead? Why do I feel hurt by my actions toward her? Why do I feel bad for betraying her trust and the love she had for me? Why? Just why am I feeling this way? I ought to be happy right? This is the right time to dance in joy and happiness for at least, achieving part of my plan towards Caden's family so, why am I pained just by seeing t
Sihana CadenI fluttered my eyes open slowly and my eyes came in contact with the ceiling. I turned my head from right to left and saw myself in my room, I'm on my bed with my family all here looking worried. It's all written over their faces. What happened? And, why are they all looking this way? What happened to me?- I thought before everything sink in me. How I found out the truth about Raphael. "Mom! Dad! She's awake!" I heard Aiden's worried voice say. I jumped swiftly and sit up, looking around all worried. "Sia!!" I heard my family all exclaimed my name in a worried tone before my Dad took a sit beside me on the bed. "Hey, are you okay? What happened to you? Micheal told me you end up in this state after meeting with that bastard! What did he do to you?" He seethes in anger. "Da... Dad... Dad, he's going to hurt everyone! I... I heard him clearly. He wants to... He wants to hurt us daddy, especially you. He wants to kill you, Daddy. You have to do something about it! He
Sihana Caden"What?!!!" I roughly yank my mom's hand off my body and wipe off my tears. "What did you just say?! You killed his father?! You mean, he was right all this while telling me that you killed his dad?!" I bombard him with questions. "He was right but, that doesn't mean I wasn't right too" "Dad! What are you saying?! There's no reason to justify your actions and you know it! You killed his father! He was your best friend but what did you do? Not only did you take mom away from your friend but, you killed him too?!""Sia!!!" He growled, looking at me. Did I go too far? I think I did but, I'm angry and confused at the same time. I have no idea that my father could kill his best friend. And, to think that I trusted him so much and even testify it to Raphael's face that my father was not a killer. Never did I know, I was wrong. "Sia, you're taking it all wrong. Your father hasn't done anything wrong""Mom! Are you also helping dad justify his actions?! You know what? It's rea
Sihana Caden"I'm sorry, Daddy. I have no idea you and Mom have been through a lot and, I was so stupid to keep blaming you while I knew nothing about the real truth" I said, crying. He broke the hug and wipe off my tears. "You don't have to be sorry, okay? I did wrong by not informing you about all of this earlier. It's not your fault.""Why didn't you tell me about all of this sooner?""Because there's no way you were going to listen to me anyway so, I have no other choice but to keep all of this secret to ourselves""You mean, you and Mom?" "No, every one of us knows about this except you""What?!!""Calm down, tigress. I apologized already, I said I'm sorry" he said and I sighed. "Dad, despite everything, I... I still love him" I muttered softly, nervously with my eyes fixed on my fingers like it's the most interesting thing to me right now. I know, I just hit the wrong spot because he didn't say a word. I raised my head to look at him as I didn't hear a word from him but he he
Sihana Caden"Sihana Caden! Open this damn door now before I break it down!" I heard my father's threatening voice say at the other side of the door. It's been a week already after the incident that occurred between Raphael and me. He stopped picking up my calls. I call him several times and drop him several messages but all to avail. I think, he has made up his mind not to have anything to do with me again. I always cry myself to sleep at night and wake up with tears again. It has become really hard for me to eat as I do not have any appetite. I know, the doctor warned me the other day to always have my food on time but with this, I'm finding it hard to do anything! I have rejected food countless times and my parents are so upset at me right now. My dad on the other hand has made the situation worse by going after Raphael. I have no idea of anything happening not until I got a call from an unknown number two days ago, it was Isabella. Raphael's cousin. I got to know about the whol
Sihana Caden"Dad! I'm saying nothing but the truth! I'm nothing but a curse. As the only daughter of this family, I ought to make everyone happy rather, I kept bringing in more troubles for us! It's the truth! " I burst and begin to tear up. I'm still amazed that I could still find tears coming out of my eyes. I've shed enough tears that, it has begun to hurt badly. "Come here" he pulled me closer to his body and hug me tightly whilst, I felt my mom's hand caressing my back. "it's fine, everything is going to be fine" he added. " Dad, I don't know what to do. I hate myself for making everyone feel this way and at the same time, I find it hard to forget about him. I tried, dad. I'm trying to but it's not working" I complained. " That's okay, we understand you but, you have to know that you can't continue doing this forever. You have to learn how to forget him. That boy isn't the right one for you. Let him go" he said before breaking the hug and looking deep into my eyes. " Hmm? "H
Sihana Caden"Yes. I mean, I'm here to see Mr. Zayn and Aiden then, Sia" he said whilst his eyes still fixed on me.Sia? This is the second time he's called me the name my family usually calls me. And, did he just say he's here to see me? Why? For what reason? "Which of the reason are you here for? To see my daughter or me?" He hissed as he asked that question. If I were not in this sad state right now, I would have burst into heavy laughter. He looks upset at what the just said. He doesn't want to see me close to any guy or have anything to do with them. And the fact that he still stood firm on his word on me clocking 30 first before having a boyfriend. Well, I shouldn't be bothered about that right? I was not and still am not in the mood for this or having conversations with anyone or my family but I've got no other choice. Looking at their faces earlier changed a lot of things just now. Now, I'm going to pretend to be happy even if I'm not. "Mom, what's going on here? I know he
Sihana CadenMy gaze was on her retreating back till she was out of sight. I can't believe she left my door wide open and not bothering to close it. I rolled my eyes for the umpteenth time that night, ready to get up and close the door when her face suddenly showed up again. "Oh! I think I'm forgetting something""What's that?""I forgot to tell you to always be a good girl around Mathew and, do not forget what we talked about, okay? Having Mathew as your husband and the father of your unborn kids is the best decision you'll ever take" she advised and left in a swift before I could say anything to her again. I shook my head, not knowing exactly what my mom is talking about before she showed up again. "Mom!!!" I groaned out angrily, ready to cry if it was possible. I'm not ready to listen to her advice again of me giving a strange guy a chance. A guy whom I know nothing about nor have I ever seen him in my entire life before. Today was the first day I set my eyes on him. "I'm sorry..
