" How much time has passed since we had eaten like this together," Thomas voiced out his thoughts as he sit at the middle of the small dining table with Edna at his right and Eva at his left.
" I missed this so much." Edna said with a small smile taking a bite of her food.
" For once I lost hope I thought that I would also lose you like your mother," Eva said with worry lacing her voice and Edna and Thomas both frowned at the mention of her real mother. Edna's spoon stopped in mid air as she gulped a bit before taking the spoon to her mouth. Thomas shot Eva a knowing glare and Eva quickly offered a small smile to Edna. They knew that Edna didn't like to talk about her past.
" But.... When your letter came .. I can't express how relived I felt that you are safe but still there was a thought that you will come back or not." Eva shuddered at the thought.
" But I know she would because she is my
Edna woke up with a jerk sitting up in her bed damped in cold sweat. Edna laboured breath resonated in her room as she gulped down the lump in her dry throat. She jumped up startled when the open windows of her room flapped against the wind.Her eyes swept across her room as her hand went up to her neck finding no blood and cut on that.. she trembling made her way to the window and looked outside to find no cars out there.Was her mind playing tricks on her? Did nothing happened? These questions were in her mind as she made her way downstairs quickly yet quietly.She sighed in relief as she took in the peaceful sleeping form of her adopted parents. Shutting the door softly her shaky legs made her way to the kitchen. Filling up a glass with water she gulped it down through her burning throat putting empty glass on the counter as she massaged her temple.That was a bad dream, a nightmare that felt so real that it she was shaken up pretty badly
The sweet aroma invaded nostrils of Eva disturbing her sleep, she groggily opened her eyes and her brows twitched when she realized that it was coming from her kitchen. She made her way to the kitchen leaving the sleeping Thomas behind. Her socked feet padded softly on the wooden floor. Her eyes widened when she took in the scene in front of her. There she was making pancakes and stirring the eggs simultaneously with utter concentration. Her Edna looked so adorable with her rich brown hair in a messy bun and her cheeks and nose was being honored with the batter of pancakes. A genuine breathless laugh escaped past Eva's lips making Edna's head snapped at her."Mom!! when did you woke up?" she questioned flipping over the pancakes and turning off the flame of eggs."I wasn't planning to wake up this early." she answered gesturing the still pale blue sky where the sun was struggling to break through the barrier of clouds. "But then
“Please it’s urgent! just once tell him that Edna called.” Edna cried out desperately not wanting to be deprived of her last tiny hope.“ I’m sorry miss, but sir strictly ordered not to disturb him.” Lady on the phone tried to reason with her, but when Edna insisted again she felt pity on her.With tiny steps lady dragged her feet to the mahogany door of Lucien’s office. She heaved a sigh before timidly knocking on the door. She heard a gruff ‘come in’ and she poked her head through the door only to be met with Lucien’s unnerving glare.“Weren’t you told that I was not supposed to be disturbed?” He muttered in a cold voice his eyes now resting on the paper work in front of him.“Sir! I apologies but this girl was persistent, she asked me to tell you that Edna called it--“ her rambling was cut off as soon as the word Edna escaped her lips, Lucien head snapped up and he was quick to his feet. He all but snatched the p
It took some convincing but after good ten minutes Edna finally got Daniel’s number from Lucien. Though he was reluctant but Edna was stubborn. After she dropped the call, she made her way to the subway taking all the precaution she could to be far away from her current living place. After she reached another town then only she took a breath. She licked up her dry lips, her brown almost honey coloured orbs searching for the telephone in the crowd area of subway path. Her rapid breathing mingling with the harsh footsteps of people surrounding her who were in hurry to reach their destination.Her footsteps stopped in front of small telephone booth. Getting inside the glass door , her hands shook as she picked up the recover to dial the number that was in her clammy hands the corner of the small ripped page wet a little bit because of it. She was nervous as though she did not wanted to do this but that was her last stroke, her last hope because somewhere in the back of
“I had told our men the location you sent me of Edna.” Daniel informed Adriano who nodded in response.“You think, she would be there?” Daniel asked a little bit unsure and Adriano straightened up his head which he was leaning on his elbow.“As I know her, she is not stupid to reveal herself that easily. Although the probability of finding her around the neighbouring town is more. You send men there too.” Adriano replied with furrowed brows, narrowing his blue orbs at the green eyed man in front of him.“I did.” the man in question replied and received a small nod from him as he get up from his chair he was previously sitting on.“What is going on in your mind?” Daniel asked genuinely confused as he saw Adriano standing with his hands stuffed in his pocket looking outside the window.Daniel thought that he would be
The light footsteps filled the dim and empty hallway of the basement of mansion. Everything was eerily silent, but suddenly a scream echoed through the air cutting off the silence. The footsteps stopped for a second but then again they resumed on their way.Daniel opened the metal door of the basement and saw in front of him was dead body of Lucas, the man who had stolen from Adriano almost one month before. Adriano, true to his words didn’t killed him until he paid him back every penny he stole from him, and when he was done Adriano finally took mercy on him and freed his soul from his torture. Ignoring the dead body which was stabbed right in his neck Daniel proceeded to stand next to Adriano who was cleaning his knife with his handkerchief.“Adriano, we need to talk.” Daniel told him clearing his throat. Adriano stopped his work and give him a side glance in the past month he had become more deadly than,before he had sto
“Finally! You are back where you belong.” The cold voice whispered darkly in the dim lighted room. Oceanic blue orbs clashed with the hypnotic brown ones, one pair of eye filled with relief while other were other was almost void of any emotion, only some anger flickering in them.For a moment they both stood still, and finally Edna step away when his fingers were inches away from her face. Adriano reluctantly lowered his hand as she ran a hand through her face, not sparing him another glance she walked past him. Adriano was about to say something when she shut the door of the closet. Adriano was confused of her behavior, he was ready for her ranting, for her anger but this was something else.A shaky breath escaped passed her lips as she controlled her overwhelming anger that was flowing through her veins. Back pressed to the wooden door, her form slide to the tiled floor as her hands clutched her head fiercely. How hard was for her to n
It has been three days, three days of same routine Edna has adopted. She was trying her best to known what was the password of Adriano’s laptop but not had succeeded yet. She follows him whenever he was at home, she was getting tired of that. But she had to try, but if showed more interest than she was already showing there would be chance of Adriano doubting the situation as if he was not already disturbed by her behavior.“Damn!” she muttered under her breath, closing the book she was reading. Tugging her cardigan to herself as she folded her legs beneath her proving them her warmth. The weather today was quite stormy and the black clouds that was shadowing the sunlight thundered from time to time. She sipped the coffee feeling the bitter taste of it fill her parched throat.She was startled from her thoughts by the sudden movement of opening of doors, the doors of Adriano’s library was huge. Edna briefly looked towards the entrance wondering who had come si
