It was 2am in the morning and Maria found herself wide awake. She hasn't been able to sleep and she is anxious and restless about it. She sat on the bed, legs crossed staring at the door, she has been doing that for a while now. Part of her hopes that Selena is okay which she doubts when her brother is lying in the hospital, awaiting surgery. "Why am I feeling so unsettled."Her mind wandered off to what could be the problem. Sighing deeply, she stood up from the bed and left the room. She was thirsty and wanted to drink some water. As soon as she stepped out of the room, she breathed in and out then proceeded to get water to quench her thirst. She took the last of the stairs and headed in the direction of the dining room. Sight of the dining reminded her that she missed dinner last night. Caleb had annoyed the hell out of her that she lost appetite and thereby going to bed hungry. She was able to get water to drink but she could not leave without having something to fi
Selena turned on her side and met the bed empty, she hissed loudly and raised herself up from the bed. She rubbed her eyes trying to adjust her eyesight properly. Her sight was blurry due to the bright light. After a while, she managed to open her eyes and looked at the wall clock on the opposite Wall, it was just few minutes to 7am She yawned and stretched then hopped out of the bedroom and headed to the bathroom. Few minutes later, she was back inside the room with her hands in her mouth, looking so tired. She had a few bugs under her eyes and puffy cheeks. Her eyes were red as well which indicated that she did not sleep well. She climbed the bed and sat wondering why Andrew is up early today. His side of the bed is empty. He doesn't have school today because he has a doctor appointment as well. She picked her phone from the nightstand and dialed his number. The ringtone echoed throughout the room which surprised Selena. "He never goes out without his phone or is he in th
Tears were running down her face freely. She sobbed softly but Melissa didn't mind. Melissa's arms were wrapped securely around her."Shhh, its okay, it's going to be alright"Melissa murmured reassuringly while stroking her head. Noises were heard coming from the main door and soon enough, Vera walked in looking tired. Her night shift was tiring coupled with the death of Andrew, she was exhausted. She jingled the spare key as she headed into the room but stopped on her tracks seeing the position her daughter and Selena is in. It was obvious to her that Selena is still mourning her brother as expected. She sighed,"are we still crying?"Selena in her tears turned towards Vera, Melissa twitched her lips and shook her head in response. "Selena won't stop crying and soon I might join her. We are all deeply hurt here but if she continues like this, we will never get over Andrew's death," Melissa said as a matter of factly and that really broke the remaining piece of Selena. S
"Use the door!"Robert yelled as his gaze continued to fix on his son. The door opened and in walked Eli"What?"Asked Robert not looking up. Eli sighed and shook his head."For once, can he be nicer? Always looking grumpy and sad"He thought and mastered a smile."Your father wants you to visit him"Eli said and stepped back a little so that if Robert flared up like he always does, he would be safe because as far as he is concerned, the news is not a pleasant one and Robert hates it when his father demands his presence. Robert clenched his fist, Kyle stared at him waiting for his normal reaction but what happened next surprised all three of them"Alright, I will see him"Was Robert's simple reply. He had concluded yesterday he would see his father. Eli gasped while Kyle had a huge confusion on his face. Robert was equally surprised at himself for agreeing so easily."Sir, are you sure?"Eli had to be sure that he heard his boss correctly. A situation where he would make arrangeme
"Watch where you are going next time?"Caleb mumbled and picked up the pieces of his state phone. He was on a call when Maria collided with him and in the process of stopping her from falling, his phone fell instead.Maria scrambled up from the floor and charged at him."Why did you push me, huh?"She was pointing at him with a mean expression. Caleb rolled his eyes and removed her finger from his face then strengthened his shoulders."I did not push you, you fell"Was just the straight reply he gave her. Maria wasn't comfortable with his indifferent behavior towards the situation. She was somehow mad that he did not show any concern and without hesitation, he threw her on the floor. Has he become so mean that cares about no one again? What if she had a broken back because of the fall?"How can you say that, are you trying to make me look like a liar"She pointed out to him and swallowed hard when she realized he was shirtless. He was wearing tight pants that showed off his well-
Selena stared at her breakfast of eggs and bacon which has been left on touched, the staring has been going on for a few minutes. Her mouth felt bitter and the last thing she wanted to do was feed her stomach when her dear brother was lying cold in the morgue. Melissa watched her worriedly, she had lost words of comfort to say to her. She is hurting as well but it won't stop her from feeding so she could get the strength to cry when the need arises. "Hey sel" Selena looked up and managed a smile, "Is there a problem? " Melissa smiled back," You are not eating. Even if you are not hungry, try and force a little into your stomach. You need your strength and besides, mom asked me to make sure you are fed so start eating now."Selena smiled weakly as she pushed the plate away from herself "I am not hungry"Melissa looked hurt, " You do know that Andrew will be sad with you for starving yourself""He is not here anymore so I don't need to worry about how he feels. If I
Pain exploded on the side of his head, Caleb didn't even hear the shattering of the cup because of the excruciating pain. Blood rushed to his face as his eyes widened in shock, not believing what just happened. Blood streamed from his forehead and ran down his forehead along the left side of his jaw, down his cheek and the smell of his own blood filled the air and he felt dizzy."Oh my God! Oh my God!! Oh my God!!!"Maria was panicking, she was shaking and her hands were trembling. She was scared. In her anger, she had injured him and she is lost with what to make out of the situation. Will he drag her by the hair and lock her up, will he get a severe head injury? What happens if he suffers memory loss because of the hit? She was panicking and so questions she has no answers to, gathered in her head as her body shivered violently from fear. Not minding the pain, Caleb stood up and charged towards Maria. Maria, lost in her thoughts, did not notice him until he was
Selena stood before the Fin Mansion, staring blankly at it. Though she knows that Robert Fin is rich but has no idea that he is this rich. She was finding it hard to believe that the mansion she was seeing belonged to just a man and his family. Some people are damned lucky in life. She thought to herself. The mansion was beautiful like something out of a magazine. She never saw a mansion as big as this and on top of that, it was magnificent. She sighed and stepped closer to the gate and to her surprise, the big iron gate opened. No one was in sight, she didn't know whether to proceed or just stand there until some sort of maid or guard comes by. "Take a step, baby girl." She told herself as she clutched the big bag of money. That's why she was at the Fin Mansion, to return the money and see if her deal with Mr. Robert will be canceled, she doubted so. It will really gladden her heart if she gets rid of the money before her brother's funeral in the evening. There were a lot of th
