It was a month later and a new day in the life of Eleanor. She had spent quite a while living and adapting to the new city and life with a new member and environment. At first she thought it would be very difficult for her to settle down, however as time flew and she grew on her grandfather and the maids of the house, she actually began to like her new life. With a usual morning routine done, it was another day of school. Eleanor sat in her usual place in the classroom with a sigh. Although it had been a month since she attended school, she did not really make a lot of friends. It was not something she thought about much initially but later, she would wonder what life would have been if she had had a few friends. She would want to try it out but her shy personality always got in the way, causing her to retract and spend time all by herself.The dullness of the day was setting in place with the grey clouds blanketing everything below it. As they approached the school, the bleak light

“That girl… she’s… she’s my sister!” Eleanor gasped as her eyes felt stunned looking over the words in the biology book. She thought that if she could find the answers to her questions, it would bring her some satisfaction and subside her hunger to learn more about that girl but in fact, the opposite happened. The shock of the truth hit her harder than she expected. She could not believe that that girl was actually her twin sister. Eleanor never recalled her mother even mentioning a thing about her having a sibling. She always thought it was just her mother and her with her absent father. “Why did mommy never tell me about this?” She thought to herself, questioning many things about her life at that point. The fact that she knew she had a sister out there gave her shivers as it came out of the blue. What was she supposed to do at this point? She contemplated whether she should confront her mother about this but she feared her reaction and whether it was the right thing to do. Sh

“No!!” Bailey yelled before running out of the bathroom in distress. Reality began to pierce Eleanor like a sharp arrow to her heart when she saw her sister running away from her in disgust. She grew cold and pale to see that after all these years, her sister was voluntarily slipping away from her. She was so close to her yet so far from her. It was as if Bailey never wanted to associate herself from her at all… which broke Eleanor immensely. All she could think in her mind was the guilt that she was feeling. She blamed herself for causing such a bad first impression on Bailey… now her actions led her own sister to run away from her. “What am I supposed to do now?” She thought to herself as she simultaneously tried to contain the tears that were freely flowing out of her tear ducts. Her mind was zoned out into a depressed state. She could feel an invisible band crushing her with the emotional pain that she was feeling. Eleanor tried to bring herself up from the floor by taking t

Eliza couldn’t believe what she was seeing in front of her. The Benjamin Clayton was standing tall in front of her. “Be-benjamin?” she muttered under her breath. Never in these years, she expected to say that name again. Never did she expect to see that charming face once again. He looked the same, except a bit more mature. Eliza was in awe to be so close to him once again. Memories of the cruel treatment that he subjected her to instantly began to play in her mind. The colour on her skin flushed out with the intense anxiety she began to feel, reliving all those painful memories. A lonesome tear began to trickle down her cheek and onto Eleanor’s head. Eleanor was nervous, wondering what was going on in her mother’s mind. Bailey noticed that Benjamin wasn’t even looking at Eliza. He was fixed on Eleanor as if he was seeing a miracle in front of his very eyes. Eliza’s grip on Eleanor’s tiny arm grew tight with fear and sadness taking over her appearance.Her heart began to race r

Eliza was devastated seeing Benjamin run off with her daughter. She failed to protect Eleanor after all these years, making her hit herself in the gut. Her face depicted the combination of anger, frustration and sadness that she was feeling internally.Dozens of people passed by her but did nothing to help. They spectated her as if she was putting on some act which made her heart ache even more. ——— “Eliza? Oh my god, what happened to you?” Tom was horrified to find his daughter’s face disfigured with sadness. The tears rolling down her eyes dragged her black mascara with them, staining the rest of her face. Her appearance was night and day compared to what it was when she left the house to spend a day with Eleanor at the mall. “Dad… he… he took her!” Eliza sobbed, her face falling in her dad’s arms. He gently caressed her while bearing a stressed out and confused expression. “Who took who? Eliza? Where is Eleanor?” Tom fretted several questions at her. “B-Benjamin… he took m
