Trip Down the Memory Lane: 2
"I'm going to miss this so much. Hanging out in the canteen, annoying the professors, bunking lectures. Everything." Scarlett cried in the arms of the man she considered her best friend, who had lewd intentions towards her. He kept a steady grip on her, feeling intoxicated by her fragrance. "Did you see Michael?" He pretended not to hear her inquiry and proceeded to snuggle his face in her neck. "Please don't think of anything else for a while. I really need some comfort." He smiled as she rubbed his back. She was so naive. And that innocent being, was going to be his. He would not let any Michael get in the way. While the new graduates were busy sharing goodbyes and shedding tears of joy and melancholy at the same time, someone took over the microphone and made everyone pay attention to them. "Mic testing 1 2 3 mic testing. Hello, hello?" A masculine voice spoke from the stage. Multiple heads turned towards him, their curious faces wondering what was going on. Scarlett let go of

The Realisation
"I am sorry for hiding it from you, for all this years. I had promised your parents that I would always take care of you. They did not want you to know about all this, but it is the truth. Michael Andrews was not your biological father. Yet, he never treated you any less. You completed Michael and Scarlet's family." Everything came as a shock to Blair. Her breathing became heavy and pupils started to shake. She could feel the uneven motion of her heart. She furiously moved her head right and left, not wanting to accept the harsh reality. "No, no, no. This can't be real. Tell me this is not true, please." She mumbled. She grabbed Mr Park's hand, insisting him to say something that would calm her quivering heart. She wished it all to be a lie. A sick joke that Mr Park had played on her. However, her denial couldn't change the verity. Sooner or later, she had to accept the fact that she was a mistake, offspring of shameful act, the product of her mother's suffering. The man she despis

The Broken phone
It has been revealed that 80% of adults wish to relive their childhood. Just a thought of their childhood can bring a smile on many faces. Most people are ready to give away their present if they get a chance to go back to the past. But time is no one's friend. It goes on, without holding a drop of mercy for anyone. That same time had flipped around Blair's life. From being head over heels for Raiden to getting married against her will and falling in love with her husband, all that happened as time passed by. And now, the moving hand of the clock of life had put her in that position. Blair stood in front of the two stones, clutching a bunch of white lilies. She got on her knees to place even flowers on each of the graves. She closed her eyes, imagining the smiling face of her parents staring down at her with lovely eyes. She imagined her mother caresing her hair, her father kissing her forehead. She folded her legs to sit on the dirt, doing an Indian sit. Laying her head down on the

Raiden's Birthday Party
Blair played with her nimble fingers, drowned in thought while sitting in front of Raiden. He tapped his foot as he patiently waited for her answer. She had stopped him from leaving by saying that she had something to talk about. However, she kept her mouth shut which made him wonder about her actions. "Blair?" He snapped his fingers in front of her face. "What is it? Is everything okay with you?" He inquired with worry. "Y-Yes of course. What's going to happen to me?" She suttered, ending her sentence with an awkward hehe. She checked her phone repeatedly, waiting for Jessica's signal. She was preventing him from going home. That was her role for that evening. Since the rest were busy with other preparations, she couldn't let him leave until Jessica texted her saying everything was ready. "Let's talk. About anything. I don't remember the last time we had a friend to friend conversation." She made an excuse, but it was based on truth. She wanted them to go back how they were before

Raiden's Birthday Party 2
Stephanie dragged herself to the nearest room and quietly shut the door. A housekeeper around, searching for the culprit behind the broken vase. All the people were gathered in the living room, so what caused the vase to fall and break? Not being able to find anyone, she concluded the wind to be the miscreant and went back to assist the rest. Stephanie breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the footsteps fade away in distance. Lucky for her, the housekeeper didn't notice the drops of blood that had stained the floor, dripping from her sole. She put a hand over her mouth to stop herself from wailing in pain as she pulled the piece of glass from her heel. She had to stay there, without making any noise until everyone left. ...Raiden took a quick glance at his watch while focusing on the road ahead. It was almost midnight. With Blair, time seemed to fly away like wind. He didn't pay vigilance until his phone reminded him that it was his time to go to bed. They had been talking for ho

The Trouble
Jessica saw a girl curled up in a corner of her room with back facing towards her. There were blood stains on the floor, indicating someone was dragged in there. "Who are you?" Jessica questioned, trying to sound brave. However, she couldn't stop the quiver in her voice. A stranger was in her room in middle of the night and blood was smeared on the carpet. It was enough for her to feel terrified. Without waiting for an answer, she sprinted out, back to the living room. "What happened?" Raiden held her shoulder to calm her down when she breathlessly entered the hall. All four of them gather around her, curious behind the reason of her state. "That is someone in my room, there was blood!" She managed to speak. Not letting her speak further, Raiden ran towards her room. Calvin followed him, leaving the three people alone. Their hammered state melted away within just few minutes. Blair rubbed her back while Aaron held her from the side. Raiden slammed with the door open and carefully l

New suspect
Blair slammed her phone on the couch, holding a triumph smile on her face. Britney really thought she could threaten her to bail her brother out of jail. Blair wanted to laugh at her and slap some sense in her head at the same time. Calvin, who had been sitting next to her and listening to their conversation, clapped his hands proudly. "That was so hot!" He commented, throwing her a wink. She's shifted closer to him, held both of his hands and jumped in her place. "This feels so good." She giggled, feeling giddy with the sudden adrenaline rush. Her tummy was swarming with butterflies. She couldn't stop moving, going up and down on the mattress. Britney's sudden call had left her dumbfounded. She froze for a second, not knowing what to say when she threatened to expose her secret. She felt what any person would have, in her shoes. Fear. Fear of disappointing her loved ones. Fear of not being accepted. Fear of losing people. The phone begun to shake in her grip. Seeing her petrified

Everyone found out
People stood up as a sign of respect when they saw Martha walking through the building's corridor. They smiled and greeted their boss' wife. However, she ignored all the welcoming faces and kept her eyes straight, not stopping anywhere before she reached her husband's office. Aaron called her out, feeling confused by her unexpected visit. But he was ignored too. Mr Park was surprised. He left his chair to greet her good afternoon. He went to ask her the reason behind her sudden arrival. Martha's peripheral vision noticed Mr Park. However, she did not pay any mind to him. She didn't have time for whatever he was trying to say. She didn't even stop to look at Aaron, there was no way she would spare even a second for Mr Park. She had a big news in her hands. Something that would turn everything upside down. Receiving the news, she had the most believable reaction that anyone would have hearing such information.

The talk
The Halls of Andrew mansion seemed unusually quiet to Blair. She was used to the silence since the huge place was occupied by only few people. However, something was off the day. The air seemed too tense. Something was wrong. She could sense it. "I'm sorry." Hearing that from Mr Park had left her in a worried state. He had called her over to the mansion as soon as possible. She clutched the wine bottle safely in her palms. She had bought it for their dinner, but sensing the grave atmosphere, she was convinced that the dark red liquid would not see the night. She saw Mr Park standing outside her uncle's study. His hands were clasped together and head was hanging low. There was some sort of trouble, she could guess from his posture. She tried talking to him, but instead of listening to her, he just pointed his thumb towards the study, motioning her to go inside. She obeyed his wishes by leaving him alone in the long corridor. "You heard what Park said. She knew about this but still ch

The aftermath
"What are you doing up so late?" Raiden asked when he saw Stephanie in the kitchen past midnight. She chuckled nervously when she saw him standing in front of her with no shirt on. She turned her head north to avoid him from seeing her flaming face. He frowned at her gesture. "Are you alright? Your face is-" he tried to lean and touch her forehead but she abruptly pushed him away. He felt her hands touch his best chest as he stumbled backwards. 'Wait, bare chest?' He realised what just happened and stepped away. He began to apologize proposely. He had no intention of appearing in front of her like that. He often wondered shirtless at night in his house and he did not expect to see her there at that time. "I couldn't sleep, so I found something to do." She turned around and attempted to chop some strawberries. One thing that she had noticed about him, was that he loved strawberries. She often saw him snacking on them. She wanted to slice them prettily and present to him. It was just
