Chapter: A Dangerous AppointmentThe following morning, Ava woke up with a tight feeling in her chest. Nothing was going on in the house, and sunlight peered through the curtains as though it did not wish to disturb her thoughts. A long time, the stillness of her position made her believe she was dead; and then one hand fell upon her stomach, as well as the other in a grip upon the sheets.She really was doing this, she said to herself.She forced herself out of bed and headed to the bathroom. She did not want to see her face in the water, as it might have already revealed the feeling of guilt. Her eyes looked purposeful but frightened when she at last lifted her eyes.It was nothing but a test, she said to herself. "Just answers."Back in the bedroom, Ava had taken up her phone and opened the email that she had received late in the night. The confirmation of the appointment was glaring back at her.Compatibility Screening - 10:30 a.m.Her heart skipped.She drew her lips. "Okay," she said softly. "You can do this."A

Chapter: Unasked QuestionsIt was some time after the house had become still that Ava sat on the edge of the bed. Marcus had long ago gone to sleep, or at least she believed he had. She was alone, the hall was dark, yet her thoughts could not repose.She was slowly opening her laptop, as if the noise would wake someone. The screen was faintly lit in the dark room.“This is but information,” she said to herself. "That's all."She had typed: “bone marrow donation.”Pages appeared instantly. Ava looked at them, and her heart was leaping like she was committing a wrong."Okay," she murmured. "Just read."She clicked the first link. The words felt heavy, serious. She read very slowly and stopped frequently, attempting to get out the meaning."What is bone marrow?" Under her breath, she read it out. “Who can spare... doth expose... curedness…”She unconsciously reached

Chapter: Kept at a DistanceThe voice of Elena was smooth and calm, except that something sharp underlined it, and Ava paused to walk."No," Elena said firmly. "You are not going to see Lydia."Ava stood paralysed in the hospital room hall. She had been practising what she had to say all morning and had been holding the words together like cracks in the glass. And now they broke up.“I only want to see how she is doing,” Ava said in a low voice. "I won't stay long. I won't upset her."Elena turned about to meet her face-to-face. Her eyes were scarlet, sleepy, and suspicious. "You already have," she said. "Enough."Ava flinched. "I didn't mean to hurt her. I swear."“That does not make a difference, what has happened,” Elena said. "Lydia is sick. She's scared. Peace, not confusion, is needed by her.”"I can be quiet," Ava insisted. "I can just sit with her. I will not even say whether that is what you desire.”Elena shook her head. "You don't understand. The moment Lydia looks at you, she recalls it all. The wedd

Chapter: The Weight of the TruthMarcus did not say anything immediately after Ava entered the car. He was sitting at the wheel, his hands clenching the wheel firmly, and staring straight forward like a man who is scared that by looking at her he will bring all that is within him to ruin.Finally, he said, “Ava, there is something you must know.”Her heart sank in an instant. She nodded slowly. “I heard something already at the hospital,” I said to myself. "I wasn't meant to, but I did."Marcus turned to her sharply. "You heard?""Not everything," Ava replied. "Just... enough to be scared."He cleared his throat and sat up in his seat. "Lydia is sick."Ava swallowed. "I know."No longer stress or exhaustion, Marcus thought, and his voice broke, although he struggled to keep his voice down. "The doctors ran more tests. Blood work. Scans."Ava had her hands trembling in her lap. "Marcus, please," she whispered. "Just tell me."He shut his eyes during the treatment. "She has cancer."This time, the word was heavier and

Chapter: Words She Wasn’t Meant to HearLydia had been in her stay with Elena for three days, and Marcus had not called upon her once. Yeah, she lied that she was with her friend. Elena was watching her daughter as she walked softly about the guest room, her face pale, and her eyes deep, and it was breaking her heart in such a way that she could not describe it.Elena put a bowl of soup on the bedside table and said, “You should eat something.”“I am not hungry,” Lydia added, not glancing out of the window.“Since the wedding, you have not eaten well,” Elena insisted. "Your body needs strength."Lydia turned slowly. “My body is not the biggest of my problems.”Elena muttered and took a seat on the edge of the bed. You do not need to forgive Marcus. “I'm not asking that.” But to have him cut out altogether will not make the hurt go away.“It aids me to breathe,” said Lydia flatly. “When I cannot hear his voice, I do not have to think about what he did.”“He is your father, your Dad,” Elena muttered.The eyes of Lydia were fi

Chapter: Under the Same RoofThe ride to the home of Marcus was silent. Too quiet. Ava sat in a passenger seat with clasped hands over her stomach and looked through the window as the city lights went by. Marcus maintained a focus on the road, closed his mouth and his mind was not in the moment. Nobody said anything and the silence was oppressive with all that he and she were not saying.As the car eventually stopped, Ava looked up and saw that they were here. The house of Marcus was a tall and dark building, the inside lights being dimmed. It appeared serene outside as though everything was as it always used to be, as though the world had not fallen in a couple of hours back.Marcus came out first and made his way around to open the door for her. “We will make our entry on the side,” he said. "No one will see."Ava nodded. "Thank you."He handed her a little suitcase and walked into the house. The house was not welcoming but was recognisable, clean, and a bit warm. It was tense, as though it were holding its brea

Chapter: CHAPTER TENHearing the knock on the door, I turn my direction away from my bedroom and head for the door. “ I wonder who’s at my door.” I ponder, as I’m not expecting anyone. Well, aside from my driver who’s getting me a new phone and MacBook. But I’m not expecting him until at least after 30 minutes, so I doubt he’s the one.Getting to the door, I put on a smiley face and opened the door immediately, as it could be anyone.“Hey, man you good?” was what I heard as soon as I opened the door. And it was Yolando, my best friend standing across from me as he spoke. I wonder why he looks worried though. I hope there’s no bad news. I’ve already handled a lot for today. Still confused, I say, “Yeah I am.” “But what are you doing here? Shouldn’t you be home resting? It’s the weekend bro.” I add.“I was worried something happened to you.” He goes on to say.Worried about me? What the heck is he talking about?“Huh? What do you mean worried about me?” I still ask, in confusion, as I let him in.“We were

Chapter: CHAPTER NINERaimondo's POVOur lips accidentally touch. No, scratch that, because she deepened the kiss the next second.I froze at that instant. Not because I was terrified of anything. It was far from that. I froze because her lips surprisingly felt good against mine. Well, maybe too good. Fuck, and she smelt so good too. She smelt like vanilla and marshmallow, and it was intoxicating. I was lost in the moment. I wanted to forget everything and kiss her back. But then my lower body reacted. Jezz, did my dick just twitch? Shit, the last thing I wanted right now was for her to add the word 'freak' to the name she has given me already. So to avoid trouble before I fully got hard, I pushed her off of me. “Did you just kiss me?” I yelped, still in a daze. “Erm, I didn't mean to,” she says slowly while fidgeting with her fingers.“Oh hell, you did. You just abused me,” I yell as I brush my fingers through my hair, acting frustrated. “What? “No, I didn’t, you douche.” She barks back defensively

Chapter: CHAPTER EIGHTYulia’s POVThe minute my lips crashed on his, I felt it. Trust me, I don't know what I felt, but I did anyway. Gosh, why do I sound so stupid! “Oh, he smells so good!” I thought to myself as I perceived his cologne. He smells fresh, with a touch of a woody note. I can perceive patchouli and bergamot. Mmm, it's so intoxicating.Without thinking twice and maybe straight, I deepened the kiss. I mean, you can't blame me when his lips felt so soft against mine. But wait, he didn't kiss me back though. Probably still in shock. And he had this sweet minty taste in his mouth that I couldn't get enough of. Right before I could live in the moment, I felt a strong push on my body. Ugh! Did he push me? The kiss didn't even go beyond 5 seconds. “Huh? I kissed him?” I asked myself as I came back to my senses. “Fuck! Why did I get caught up in the moment?” I was totally embarrassed at this point, because who kisses an enemy? “Fuck fuck fuck fuck!!!” I groan in frustration. “Did you just kiss

Chapter: CHAPTER SEVENI couldn’t process anything, as the pain I felt was overwhelming. “Ouch,” I yelp out in pain as I stumble to the floor. Did she just kick me in the balls?“Ouch, fuck!!” I let out a scream as I feel another weight fall on me, followed by a scream. Yep! That was Miss Feisty. Totally forgot about her for a second. I’m sure I let go of her due to the sudden pain I felt in my member. Impulsively, I held her as soon as she fell on me so she wouldn’t roll off me and hit the ground as I did. “Wait. What was that…?” I asked myself as I squeezed whatever it was I just touched while trying to hold her. I don’t know what I’m touching—oh, I mean squeezing—but whatever it was felt so good to touch. But then all those thoughts cleared the moment a hand landed on my cheeks. Was I slapped again…? Yep! Just in case you were wondering. If someone had told me I’d receive two slaps in less than five minutes today, I’d have thought it was the biggest joke of the year. But here I was getting slap

Chapter: CHAPTER SIXRaimondo’s POV “The fuck did you just say to me, asshole?” This pretty lady, who apparently turns out to be crazy, shouts out of the blue. Is she for real right now? I just saved her ass from falling, and this is all she could say? What is wrong with her?“Excuse me…? Did you just refer to me as an asshole?” I asked just to confirm. “Yes, I did,” she says with her arms crossed. “Excuse me, miss, but do you know who I am?” I asked, bewildered. “The fuck do I care? You insulted me, so I have every right to call you an asshole.” She goes on to say. What the heck is she talking about? I just met this lady. Is she nuts or something? When did I insult her? Gosh, she’s already getting on my nerves. “What are you talking about? When did I insult you?” I asked her. “Just now, in whatever language it was you spoke.” She says. Looks like she’s calming down now. Well, that’s a relief. “Oh, that? I didn’t insult you. I just asked if you're blind in Spanish.” I tell her, thinking it will

Chapter: CHAPTER FIVEAfterwards, he went ahead to put his dick in Beatrice’s pussy. She spreads her legs wider and lets out a moan of pleasure. “Do you want to just stand there and watch us or leave? You could also join us if you want. I’m not stingy.” He goes on to say as he fucks her. I couldn’t take all of this anymore and just did what came to mind. I approached Ryan and slapped him hard across the face, making him pull out of Beatrice in the process. “You’re an idiot, Ryan, and I hate you!” I say in rage, spitting on his face again. “And as for you, Beatrice, just know he’s going to leave your ass soon for someone else.” I said to her and left the office, finding my way to my car. Getting into my car, I cry my eyes out from all that happened just now. How did all of this happen? How could he deceive me?I was shaken to the core and couldn’t stop crying, but then I remembered I had to go check on my brother. So I wiped my tears and drove off. Getting to my brother's school, I got to know he had
