.CHAPTER 26.
"SO.... WE'RE GETTING divorced".
The mini space housing the four ladies was soused in silence as the opening of the restaurant door, the stiff shuffling of the waiters, the soft click of wineglasses, the sound of bangles colliding as a woman waved her hand and the subtle murmur generated by words seemed to fade into the background.
They were seated into Sournas, their favorite spot for lunch. And dinner.
Yazmine spoke up first, her voice barely above a whisper, her eyes wide,"Oh my God, Lu. I'm sorry".
Luna rolled her eyes, pushing away the pity she saw in Yaz' eyes.. Resisting the vulnerability. When she spoke her voice shook a little, "Don't".
"How's Kyle?" Sreya asked quietly.
Luna waved a hand, "Oh, he's fine. Excited actually. He's been kicking it", she finished her wine and she'd barely touched her food, "with a woman named Gwendolen Ruthlow", she lifted the

Years ago in tales^°^Darkness was the first thing Sre's brain registered when she woke. The second thing, a stretching blinding pain by the side of her head. The third thing, cold. The fourth thing, her nudity.She was naked.And she couldn't move.She blinked once, twice. Trying to remember what had happened before that very nude alarming minute. She remembered spilling coffee, talking to Fred, walking home... Panic surged through her as the

LU WAS COUGHING, Ariah's eye balls looked like they were about to pop out of their sockets and Yaz...Well, Yaz was yelling, "What!? Xaver Kirkgarde from zillionaire Kirkgarde family?"Sreya nodded."Wait", Ariah interrupted, "Zillionaire's a word?""Yes", Yaz, Sreya and Luna chorused. And Yaz turned back to Sre, anxious to drill her for more juicy info, "How on earth did you guys meet? Press Conference?"They were both public figures."Uhm. His grandmother, Edith. She's a patient at the hospital. Alzheimer's"."And?" Luna rolled her eyes. They needed to know how not why."Okay. We were first introduced in the hospital by the doctor taking care of Edith. Richard, remember him?"The trio nodded eagerly. They'd met Richard once or twice when they'd come to the hospital for purposes far fro

XAVER DIALED HIS little sister's number for the thousandth time that day, cursing under his breath as his fingers worked feverishly at his black tie.As expected, Dinah Kirkgarde didn't pick up. Again.Gnashing his teeth, Xaver tugged the tie loose and hit the call button, mentally calculating the long hours to Kruz—the city where Dinah lived—and back to Verum City.She answered on the third ring."Shut up. Facetime" and she hung up right before she facetimed him.A face that looked so much like his mother's lit up his screen and Xaver opened his mouth to chastise her for not answering any of his calls when she sent him the sweetest smile and let out an excited, "Xaver Elliot Gregory Kirkgarde! How long has it been?" Then she frowned, "Your nose is just as ugly as it was four months ago. You should be thankful Crystal agreed to marry you with your nose looking

TEACHING A GROWN ass man how to bake chocolate chip cookies by 3 in the morning was not on Sreya Dronian's bucket list but here she was rolling the already mixed dough between her palms to form a medium-sized ball with Xavier by her side.After a few minutes, she was done, "Now we're going to pop these bad boys into the fridge and let them cool for an hour", Sre finished as she lifted the tray from the counter and slid the metallic piece into the refrigerator.Coming back to the counter, she wiped her hands on an orange coloured kitchen rag and ordered Xavier to the nearest kitchen chair beside the counter as she began to clean up the broken egg shells, spilled flour, stained spatula and tainted glass mixing bowls.Humming Gretta Harlow's Foreign almost inaudibly beneath her breath, Sreya allowed cold water from the tap pierce and lodge between the wefts of the soft fabric of her kitchen rag before using it

Years ago in Tales^°^Sreya felt like a Century had made an appearance and gone. It was always dark and cold. And when the darkness was disturbed by the dizzy rays of the candlelight, he was always there... Touching her, touching himself, scanning the faded pages of his small bible...burning his flesh. He wasn't giving her the numbing shots anymore. Sreya wanted him to. She didn't want to feel what he was doing. She hated that her body responded every time. Her flesh, a traitor to her mind. She was able to move a little at least but involuntary abstinence from food for a while barely allowed her the luxury. A little wiggle of her pinky finger, and that was it.She knew what her captor was doing by refraining from shooting the usual daily fluid i

"DO I GET to meet her today?"Xaver frowned "Who?"Dinah rolled her eyes, "Crystal doesn't make you glow like that".They were currently in the parking lot of the Hospital where Edith was being taken care of and Dinah was tense as hell. Her heartbeat was echoing loudly in her ears and the salad she'd munched two hours before the current moment seemed to be back in her mouth. She was going to throw up.Within minutes, they'd shuffled into the building and were soon inside the elevator. Every step they took brought them closer to their grandmother and Dinah trembled as she held back tears. Her mother had done a good job teaching her how to mask her emotions and act calm and calculated. When Xaver took her hand, she knew he saw right through her facade. He and Brandon always seemed to know exactly how she felt every moment even if she looked as cheerful as her ten years old self ripping open presents for Chri

WHILST THE LONG hand of the clock kissed six and the short hand hugged seven, Xaver was chopping onions on a wooden chopping board as Dinah watched."She should be here any minute", he muttered. He wanted the food to be ready before she arrived but he doubted he'd be able to achieve that."And you're cooking at the pace of a snail. I'd help you but I'm tired""Yeah, for doing absolutely nothing" Xaver reprimanded as he expertly dumped the chopped onions into hot oil. A roaring sizzle echoed throughout the kitchen and Dinah sniffed as she put a cubed pineapple in her mouth.Her nose was runny from all the crying in the hospital. You'd think it'd have stopped by now. She'd left Edith a mucus and make up stained shirt to remember her by. Except, she won't. Sigh.Dinah shut her eyes and moaned as her favourite fruit melted on her tongue, exploding into sweetness, "Mmmm. Ugh. Pineapples are God

Years ago in Tales ^°^He did not come that day. Nor the day before that. Sreya was relieved. And thirsty. Taking a deep breath that set her lungs on fire, she swung her feet off the table at the tempo of a sloth and tried to sit up as hunger gnawed at the walls of her empty stomach with a fury that was devilishly dizzying in its intensity. Pains from sporadic contractions of her long inactive muscles flooded Sreya's body causing her to release a groan that was a little too loud, pursuing it with a wince and a curse. With ragged breathing, low moans and quivering lips, she nursed the very undesired contractions till t
