Something bad was about to happen, I could feel that much. I don't know why he's being like this, but I have a feeling he's up to something crazy once again. We arrived home and heard that Mira was asleep. Malicay walked into his room without a word, and we were too busy trying not to get on his bad side to ask about what was going on. I took a stroll around the house, I myself knew nothing about Mal, I could still remember the first day I saw him, Mal was as fragile as glass, and whenever he was hit, he would run to a corner to hide and cry, his eyes looked like those which has given up on hope and I wondered what the boy could had possibly gone through to look so miserable, but even so, he never once complained to us, and I feel horrible because no matter how physically strong he was on the outside that surpassed our abilities, he was still our little brother, and he clearly needed attention. Just once, if I had asked him just once, I wonder what hi
We didn't tell Mira about the incident, the important fact was to keep the meeting a secret, she shouldn't know about what happened, apart from me not wanting to tell her about that night, there was Mal giving us a threatening gaze. Of course I wouldn't dare go against him,it was pretty obvious who was stronger between the both of us. Malicay was not someone to be messed with.Ethan left for school the next day, I have never seen the child as happy as he was while he rushed to leave for school. All his life, he's been homeschooled and never left him home, this was a perfect opportunity for him to get exposed to reality. Mira was both confused and excited about her pregnancy, but she had been sighing non stop since this morning that it's starting to get tiring from just hearing someone else sigh, and by someone else I meant my brother who had started to sigh whenever she did. "Mira, Mira…" I ca
Mira's POV.I couldn't help but have a feeling of deja vu. Just a while ago, I was undoubtedly happy, for a reason I couldn't make sense out of, I wondered why getting married to a man who was not my husband made me happy, something in me leaped for joy, I felt like I wanted to be with him, I was beyond doubt happy to hear their suggestion, but then I felt like something would go wrong if we get married, I couldn't make sense of why I felt that way but I can tell this feeling wasn't a good one. How strange.Everything was going fast. Ethan was at first against the idea, of course he believed that we would one day return back to his father especially since he was going to have a sibling soon, seeing how his father was risking a lot to protect him in the pretense of neglecting him, he was bound to side with his father, and I did too, but
While using the brother's little trip as an excuse, I took my time to go on countless dates with Ted. The only one who knew about what I was doing was Martha, even still it was hard to convince her to see where I was coming from. She agreed not because she finally understood but because she didn't have a say.I told him my husband and I were to get divorced soon, so Ted didn't seem to have a problem with me being married, and also didn't mind me having a child and being with another, I felt unhappy regardless of how hard he tried and I couldn't decide. Did I want to continue with this marriage and occupy him with my family while he still grieves, or serve as a replacement, I've decided now, whatever happens this time happens, I'll take anything that comes my way without question.As I made my w
I sat down on a chair, waiting for her to awake, its effects should die off soon and I would be bound to explain myself, but I was prepared for that much. Slowly she woke up, looking around only for her to realize where she was, I began to take back every word I said about being prepared to face her. I couldn't speak as our eyes met and only shrink in fear, of course the first attempt she made was to try to reach out and then she finally realized what was going on.She looked at the rope and then her hand and then me. During her long nap I had tied her hands with a rope and then tied the rope behind the chair, so she couldn't move. She struggled and when she came to a realization that she couldn't break free she yelled. "What is this?"At that very moment I lost my words and panicked. "
We couldn't go all the way because of the baby, and ended up sleeping while holding hands. Well she was asleep and not me. Seeing how deeply she slept, I took my coat and rushed outside. I wanted to confirm for myself and start running, I didn't want to use my speed, I just wanted to exercise my muscles a bit and I wanted to take my time to reach there.Hahh. I breathed a sigh of relief when I had finally arrived at that spot. There at the three were Rebecca and I had met for the first time, at the same spot where we planted a tree after meeting after many years stood the man I was waiting for. "You came Emerald." With a grin on his face, he tilted his head and stood inches apart from the tree."Daniel. So it was you." To think he has me fooled by his new appearance, to think the man who was fl
It was a peaceful walk in the park and it was perfect. All I wanted was to make her happy so that she forgets that there was once a time. I took a seat on the bench while she helped herself to get whatever she wanted, constantly waving back at me when she had the chance, and I constantly smiling and waving back at her, but that wasn't why I wanted to come out, he was. "It's not going to work Emerald, you can't cheat death. She's gonna die, whether you like it or not. Haven't you wondered, why she was alive in the first place." Right next to me was someone who was without a doubt powerful to an extent, the problem is he's been sticking to me a lot lately and only I could see him, the being responsible for the illusions in my head, and the only one who had answered my questions. The Deal maker. "Aren't you curious, the woman you love so much is right before your eyes, not just that but you also met her brother, doesn't that even bother you, don't you re
As time flew by, Mira's stomach began to rise, her pregnancy had become obvious and the neighbourhood came over with gifts. She was surrounded with smiles, so it was a good environment for her and the baby. Little by little, her ability to walk decreased, and although it was not as bad as when she had Ethan, it was still difficult for her to continue with her daily life. Ethan on the other hand seemed to be more worried about her situation than I was, during the weekdays he slept beside his mothers bed and never let her be without help, on time I had caught him with his ears glued to his mothers belly as he listened to the baby, and when I asked what he was doing he asked me to be quiet so I wouldn't wake her up. Thanks to her condition, Ethan's hate for me slowly died while I tried my hardest to prove to him how much I loved her, but it still wasn't enough to earn his full trust.She h
The brothers, as inseparable as they were, grew with love from their mother and with assistance of their adopted father which was I. Wherever one went, the other followed without worry. Thomans as he was called, never left the arms of his brother. Ethan carried his brother everywhere without letting anyone else touch or hold him, I began to see light in Ethan's eyes as he guarded and treated his brother like an egg, however, some fate could not be changed.I began to notice some strange behaviour from Ethan, and I guess Mira had noticed it too. The child was distancing himself as he grew. At the age of 9, Ethan who was mad but a single friend who was the son of the principal had started sleeping over at his place. I didn't mind his actions, he was growing and had just made a friend so it was natural to value that friend.At age 10. Eth
