I left the cafè earlier than I usually did, rushing back home. On a normal day, servants usually loitered around the mansion, but my father had given them a one week break.So, the mansion was quiet. But I couldn't help but feel there was an eeriness to the silence. And the feeling deepened as I headed towards my room.“Dad?” I called out, holding on to my backpack.Silence…I decided to check his study. My father always spent his time there, whenever he didn't go to the office. “Dad, are you-” My words trailed off, as a gasp left my lips. My eyes widened, as I tried processing the sight before me.“Dad-” I choked out, throwing my backpack to the floor, and hurrying deeper into the room. I shook their cold bodies, wishing this was one of the nightmares I usually had.Wishing they were playing a risky prank on me, and they'd burst out with laughter if I shook them harder.But as the silence stretched on, with their unmoving bodies, it finally dawned on me that they were dead. Gone fro
As we drove home from the hospital, Kacie was quiet, lost in thought. I couldn't help but wonder what was going through her mind. Was she relieved that she wasn't pregnant, or was she disappointed? The thought hung thick on my chest.I reached out and took her hand, giving it a gentle squeeze."Hey, are you okay?" I asked, trying to sound casual.She turned to me with a small smile. "Yeah, I'm fine. Just a bit tired, I guess."I nodded, feeling a bit frustrated. I wanted to know what was really going on in her head, but I didn't want to push her too hard.When we got home, Kacie went straight to bed, saying she needed to rest. I watched her go.I followed her to our bedroom and stared on as she tucked herself under the bed without as much as bidding me goodnight.Now that's weird. Since after we continued our relationship, Kacie will never go to bed without whispering sweet nothing into my eyes and vice versa.I brushed whatever thoughts creeping into my mind and slip into the bathro

“What a great night to die,” I mumbled, taking a hearty gulp of my drink. My legs wobbled as tipsiness kicked in. Just one jump…Just one jump and all my problems would be over. My phone buzzed at that moment. Cursing at the fact that I hadn't left it at home, I brought it out of my coat pocket. My blood ran cold as I stared at the caller ID. With shaky hands, I received the call.“My gold mine,” Nathan's lazy drawl filled my ears.“You sonofabitch!” I rasped, almost stumbling. Little stones rolled over and fell down the cliff. “Oh, you don't have to take out your anger on me, darling.” His mocking laughter irked me, and I longed to scratch at his face with my nails. “You tricked me.” I swallowed hard, my chest heaving. “No, no, I didn't, darling Iris. You were merely excited at the prospect of getting married to me that you didn't realize what was happening. Why blame me for your foolishness?” He sneered.I almost choked on my words. “I loved you, Nathan. I gave you my all, and

Kacie and I are officially back.Taking everything slow, all we do is: eat. Sleep and have sex.Nice way to spend time with my woman.“Hey what are you up to?” her sweet angelic voice asked as she hugged me from behind.After we've settled our differences I forced her to pack her things to my room.She refused at first but I finally succeeded in convincing her.“Just taking care of some office affairs. Go back to sleep, I will join you briefly.” I turned my head and kissed her.“I'm not feeling sleepy. I slept all through the morning remember.” she pulled over and sat beside me dragging the laptop from my front.She peered at the screen and gave me a 'I don't understand you' look.“You want to buy diamond finance bank?” (DFB)“Yes pumpkin. I intend on buying it.”“But, considering the fact that it's a kind of heritage bank. Won't it be hard and tough?”“Don't worry. I will scale through.” I reassured her.“Will you need my help?” she asked in a worried tone.“Time will tell. For now,

Miriam was recovering fast. We had wanted to discharge her immediately but the doctor advised us to let her stay a week.Zayn's mother left already after staying two days with us, I must confess. That two days she was with us was the best days I've ever spent.Tomorrow will make it a week and Miriam will finally be back home.The elevator door slid open on the VIP floor. I breathed out heavily and stepped out going straight to ward 209.“Fine morning Aunt miriam.” I greeted immediately I entered giving her one among my best smiles.“Morning dear. Hope you fine.” “Yes ma'am. As long as you're fine, I am also.”She gave me a lopsided grin and fixed her gaze on the packaged box I came with.“Something keeps telling me you came with food.”“Ohh. Yes, I specially prepared it for you.” I quickly raised the box and brought it closer to her.Zayn dosen't know about me going to the kitchen to cook, I waited for him to leave for work first before deciding to put all what I learnt to practice.
