A Table Set For Healing

“Why didn’t you tell me?” Granny’s voice quavered. Her hands were shaking even as she held on to the newspaper in her lap, where the front-page headline had the news written in bold letters.

THE WINTER COUPLE MURDER CASE CLOSED; SUSPECT DIES BEFORE TRIAL.

The first and last time I had seen granny in tears was at my parents’ funeral. I never expected that I would see her hurt like this again, especially over a trauma that she had managed to endure for many years.

I knelt beside her chair even as tears filled my own eyes.

“I was going to tell you, Granny. I swear I was…” I said, gently taking the paper away from her and setting it aside.

I sighed. I just…I...I didn't know how..”

How could I explain that her daughter and son-in-“law whom she mourned, thinking they died of a mere accident were actually murdered and that I’d been hunting the man responsible. How do I tell her that I'd put myself in danger, even nearly died multiple times all to bring him to just

  • A Crazy Night with My Ex's Uncle   Chapter 116 Living Among the Lost (2)

    We walked hand in hand through the winding paths of the cemetery, past a couple of other carefully tended gardens around other graves. The grounds were peaceful at this hour because of use mode of the day visitors were gone—not that it would be particularly noisy if they weren’t. But the night was still young enough that we had the place to ourselves.I glanced up at Alexander, noticing the slight furrow between his brows and the distant look in his eyes.“Hey,” I squeezed his hand gently.“Are you okay? Something’s bugging you.”He sighed, but his gaze was still focused on the path ahead of us.“Talk to me,” I said.“I'm thankful you wanted me to meet your parents. It meant a lot to me.”“But?” I prompted.Alexander gestured his free hand around our surroundings.“But being here...the air in this place. It makes me anxious.”We walked a few more steps in silence before he continued.“My mind keeps going to Isabella,” he admitted. His voice was more strained now.“The thought of somed

    Living Among the LostAVALilies were for mum and house irises for dad used to be the usual ritual in the house back then. They were both lovers of flowers so we planted a lot of them around the house. I happened to not share the same love for plants as they did, but I eventually had to start caring.Even now, I cared a lot.Kneeling by their graves, I rested the flowers against their shared headstone as the setting sun over against the golden letters their names were engraved in.I stared at both their names, and the dates, my vision slowly getting clouded by tears my attempts to hold them back. They said time healed all wounds, but it has been seven years and I still haven’t completely healed. The hollowness was still there and today was the first time the feeling didn’t come with a lot of pain as it usually did.I heard Alexander’s feet inching closer behind me, and then his arm coming around my shoulder as he crouched next to me. I leaned into his warmth without a word and took a

  • A Crazy Night with My Ex's Uncle   Chapter 114 Beyond the Valley

    BLAKEIt tugged at my skin and whipped at my clothes like an impatient child, the wind. All that valley, lying in a long stretch of blue mountains and green ground below me. It would take just one step and I’d be gone.I edged my toes closer to the edge of the cliff, letting some tiny pebbles drop down. They disappeared long before they hit bottom. Made me wonder if I was the one who dropped like that, would I hear the sound of my own body hurting the ground or would my consciousness have faded out before then?The human body reaches terminal velocity at around 120 miles per hour. A strangely comforting thought. At least there’s a limit to how fast you can fall. I imagined the initial stomach-drop sensation, like a roller coaster but with no track and safety bar. The wind screaming past my ears; the ground rushing up.I took another step closer to the edge and almost immediately felt a touch on my shoulder from behind.I could feel my heart screaming in my chest as I turned around. I

    AVAThe coldness of the metal chair I sat on seeped into my back, and it made me more aware of myself than I planned to be. The farther the seconds were stretching, the tighter my lungs became.“Breathe,” I told myself, exhaling once and sitting up straighter.I'd rehearsed this moment for hours; what I'd say, how I’d remain calm, and how I wasn’t going to give him the satisfaction of seeing me break. It was the least I could do for myself at the moment.One would think I was getting ready for my first ever interview, but all this anxiety was for seeing my parents’ murderer….eye to eye since the first time since I found out what he was.Charles was caught yesterday by the Coast Guard. They intercepted his yacht before it reached international waters. There is evidence against him aside from the recording from the recording Blake sent me, financial records tying him to the hitman who killed my parents, and the toxicology reports from Isabella’s bloodwork. It was enough to hold and char

  • A Crazy Night with My Ex's Uncle   Chapter 112 Hope Is Fickle

    Hope is FickleAVAAfter putting on a robe and wrapping my hair in Ariel I headed straight for the kitchen. I haven’t had a proper meal in the past couple of days — not that it looked like I would be getting any today as well. The goal was to find something to quench my hunger and distract me from thinking even if it was for a few minutes.The screen of my phone lit up on the counter at the exact moment I was walking out of the pantry with a jar of biscuits.**Dropped by Isabella's**“How’s she?” I asked.**The same. Where are you? You were at the hospital to see Blake right?**“Yeah, he’s in pretty bad shape and the docs still don’t know for sure if he’ll make it.”I stared at the dancing bubble that showed he was typing. Alexander had to deal with Isabella, I had to deal with the situation with Charles and Blake. There was so much bad energy hanging around us, I could confidently say we’ve not had a nice time together throughout the whole ordeal. We still don’t and it was scary to t
