All Selena could feel was numbness in her heart. Her mouth formed an 'o' shape as the realization dawned upon her.The only thing she wanted to do was scream but there was no noise coming out from her lips. Selena clenched tighter to her brother and let her tears fall from her beautiful hazel eyes.The pain was excruciating. Her throat tightened and she choked the sob that threatened to burst its way from her chest. She could not hold it anymore so she let out a piercing scream. Melissa jumped to her feet in confusion. For a few seconds she did not understand what was going on. Her confusion was immediately replaced with concern."Selena, what's the matter?"She asked, moving closer to Selena but stopped in her tracks when she saw how Andrew was looking. He was looking so pale, like someone whose blood had ceased to flow in his system and the reality dawned on her, he is dead. A lump caught her throat and she tried to fight the bile rising within her throat as she stared at And

Vera wasn't ready to accept reality. She has come to love Andrew and Selena as her own. After Mrs Parker, her dear friend died, she has promised to love them and make sure they never feel their void of losing a mother. She had taken a liking for them. Selena is sweet, caring and has been kind even to people who have hurt her. And she is such an angel. She doesn't deserve any of this. Nobody deserves to lose a parent and a sibling in a short space of time. She wanted to be the mother they lost and also for them to be siblings to Melissa. Now that Andrew is gone, it's just Selena and them. "I remember giving your mother my words that I will look after you both and now. I am sure she will be disappointed in me"She let out a quiet laugh and closed her eyes shut for a split second." I love you very much and I always will. Rest in peace, Andrew Parker. Selena, Melissa and I will miss you immensely" She pulled the sheets back to his face and turned around, leaving the ward in mo

"You know your nanny can go with you,"Robert spoke up after a disturbing silence existed between them. Kyle glared at him and snapped,"What! For how long is she going to be my mom? What happens when my friends find out that she is my nanny, not my mom. Dad, you know what, forget it. I am not going to school tomorrow and that's it. I don't care if I am ever going to know my mom." He said all that yelling. The silent night echoed his words back and Robert was afraid that he would wake up everyone in the mansion. "Put down your voice, it's late already "Robert cautioned him, gently placing a hand against his cheek."Sorry dad,"Kyle muttered. "It's alright. I am sorry you are feeling this way and there is nothing I can do about it. If you don't want to go to school tomorrow, it's fine. But I promise you that next time such will happen in your school, you will have a mom to go with you. No get some sleep" Kyle nodded and Robert drew the duvet to his neck then kissed his fore

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

"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
