Perspiration poured from her forehead even when the AC was on. That’s right, work your ass out, young lady without control!“You didn’t take that,” I shot at the manager who was just standing around, ordering them. She followed my gaze.“What?” She asked, puzzled at the direction of my eyes. It was a rack filled with different handbags. I must be crazy doing all these. But the truth is I was bound to go shopping one of these days.Unfortunately, Emily isn’t with me to guide me. Today of all days...The woman refused to show a hint of surprise. She must be used to all these. “Right away ma’am,”At the end of it all, there were about fifty bags filled with clothes, twenty filled with handbags from different designers and thirty five boxes of hand made shoes.It was estimated to be over ten thousand dollars. It didn’t sound small to me and for a moment I wondered if Eros would be pleased or furious.Would he even notice such a small amount missing from his a

“Mr. Spencer,” Eros smirked at the older man in front of me. He looked like a butler... Of course he is! I mentally palmed my head at my conclusion. And here I was thinking Eros hated people generally.The old man was in his full butler attire. Like the stereotypes you’d see on television. Sprinkles of grey hair, boyish face, thin shoulders and long legs poised in elegance.His hands were covered in gloves.Eros picked us at exactly six. But not before dumping a load of surprises on my Dad. Then to pacify him, I gave him the suit. I didn’t tell him it was from Eros and there were only two in the world.He may keep it in his closet and never wear it. I couldn’t have that. I would love to do that to this gown but I found myself being persuaded by Emily’s calm voiceShe really knew how to use that to her advantage all the time. When I mentioned Hera West, she would hear none of it. Although I could hear the pain in her voice as she told me to wear it.She really

“Do you want to know what isn’t fair?” She turned to the boy who was slightly trembling. “All of you are like some parasites. Do you know what isn’t fair? You Nicholas, Avery and Theodore! Do you want to know what isn’t fair? The fact you were given to me when I asked the big guy up there for perfect children!” she screamed. Then her facade changed in a second. She was just like Eros. A minute of yelling and a second dose of calmness. The resemblance was creepy.The hall was really quiet.“That’s enough Athena,” Eros intervened and I fell in love with his voice. Such a peace-making voice... I think I heard her name at the fashion show. It didn’t occur to me that she was the one called Athena. Athena, a divorcee with three identical kids.It must be hard for her. I don’t know anything about kids but I was sure this wasn’t a way to treat them. The three of them were as still as a rock.“Now,” Athena started, ignoring Eros’ firm voice. “Get out your tablets and stay bus

Miranda placed earphones over Aiva’s ear. The triplets already had one the moment their mother finished with them.I was still thinking about what Athena said when the door opened to reveal miniature Eros.“My beautiful family,” He announced, causing me to raise an eyebrow in surprise. Finally, someone with joy.Or so I thought.“Whoa... Icarus and... Miranda? Jeez. This family couldn’t be any more weird,” He said in a funny time and I was tempted to laugh.It was funny that he was a part of that type of family. Wait a minute... He is a comedian! Ajax West... Yeah, I’ve seen him once or twice when going through the channels at home.I should have recognised him that night but I was just too busy.He turned to me with the same look of yesterday night. It was as if he was disgusted with me and at the same time mesmerised. His face held a charming smile but I’d choose Eros’ over his anytime.To me, He seems more normal than the rest. Maybe I could be his

Eros’ POVI was still getting over Athena’s harsh words to her children when Ajax came in. I can tolerate Athena’s haughty words and Echo’s annoying ones but I can’t just tolerate Ajax’s clownish ones. They pricked me like thorns.“My beautiful family,”Christ.. it’s the family clown again. Looking at my phone was better than staring at my clown of a brother.He circled the table obnoxiously. “Whoa... Icarus and... Miranda? Jeez. This family couldn’t be any more weird,”I rolled my eyes at his lame attempt to crack a joke. How pathetic can he be? The only thing I worried about was how Dalia would cope in this meeting. I have managed to lay down rules for her own protection but it seems she has a mind of her own.Her Dad preferred to sleep while Dalia watched with confused eyes.She will get used to it.I raised my head to meet Ajax staring at me. Mischievousness twinkled in his eyes. It told me he was about to do something I wouldn’t like.More li

“You are all talk.” I chose to say instead. He is really getting on my nerves by making empty talks. With the corner of my eyes, I see Dalia looking at Ajax and me with fear in her eyes.Oh dear Dalia.. this is how we are when we aren’t in public or in the presence of our parents. We are fucked up and whose fault is that?“Where is Jason?” Icarus’ booming voice interrupted. It had an edge to it. It was obvious he was trying to distract us. This is why I dislike Icarus sometimes. He was too nonchalant for my liking. The elderly ones were not elderly at all.Athena and Icarus couldn’t come in between Ajax and I. Yet I took Icarus' question as an opportunity to retreat.I just have to warn Ajax. “You won’t disrespect my woman in my presence, don’t do that again.”But Ajax wasn’t ready to back down yet. He banged both hands on the table causing everyone to glare at him in annoyance. Mr. Thompson didn’t even flinch.“I’ll do however I want! You son of a bitch! You

Eros' POVFather cleared his throat and I knew he was about to add something to the things she said. “They came for tea.”They expected us to share in their joy, I guess. But with what had happened? I don’t think that was possible. We always did things like this behind their backs so if anyone told them about our uncultured behaviour, they would never believe it.Just like they didn’t believe Hera then.My sister, Echo clapped her hands obnoxiously. She was trying so hard, so hard to please mother and father. If mother can’t see in between her smiles, then they will never understand us. “Mother! I am so proud of you. It isn’t everyday we get to host important people.”“I am joyous, mother,” Athena raised her head up. It was rare to see Athena smile, so the smile she gave now was more like a grimace.Suddenly, the triplets chose that reason to speak. And they did so at the same time! It gave me goosebumps as I can never get used to it.“Splendid news grand

Dalia’s POVI woke up with a start. The room felt strange... It was unwelcoming and spacious. I could fit about thirty people dancing acrobats and there would still be space for other activities.I felt like a princess in a lonely castle.Turning to the side, I caught a glimpse of a man by the window. He was shirtless and seemed to be in deep thoughts. After much subtle quarrelling and ordering, we were asked to have a good night sleep.I didn’t know when I slept. Wait a minute...Dada and I were having a serious conversation when I dozed off... I can’t remember the next thing that happened.I gasped, jumping right off the bed.“Who are you?!” I yelled, looking at my surroundings again.He turned and embarrassment filled me at the sight of Eros. “Oh, It’s you,” heat filled my cheeks at the full display of his abs. He was perfectly adorned with muscles. He earned his name.. Eros.“Relax, we are at my parents house. There are no monsters here.” He t

I sighed in frustration. I don’t know my problem but I didn’t want to tell him that I feel so alone beside him. The moment he shows me warmth, the next moment becomes cold. His kind gestures and sweet talks soon disappeared as soon as they came.Whenever he defended me, I was forced to think he liked me. Then his next words told me he was just tolerating me.I am tired of the constant back and forth of care. But I can’t let him know I am this desperate for his love. “Yes! Because how else are we going to tell the world that what we have going on is real?!”Dang it Dalia.. you just had to use that as an excuse and to your own advantage. I don’t care about the public. I was never the technology type. It was Emily who made sure I was current.Who knows what people are saying about my engagement to Eros. Instagram would go wild. Emily is yet to tell me what she has seen since I don’t have an Instagram account.Hell, I am not on social media. I am just plain, old and

“What are your names?” I asked the boy who looked friendlier than his sister.“Frederick West. My sister’s Freda.” The boy completed it with a crooked smile. His gums were void of teeth.I nodded glancing at the little girl. She was eyeing the bowls of ice cream her cousins savoured instead of minding her. I gave her a little smile. “Freda? Do you want a bowl of ice cream? Should I get one for you?”She nods furiously and Fredrick smiles sadly. “She never gets one at home. Only on special days. But they have it here all the time! Grandpa and grandma are cool!”“Yes, they sure are.” I sighed at his innocence. He probably didn’t hear what was said at the meeting because of the earphones and several toilet breaks.Some point into dinner, harsh questions were directed at their father. From that little, I learnt that he abandoned the family to leave somewhere off the grid.It didn’t sit well with Hector and Gaia. He must be the least well to do in the family. I do
