Sasha's piercing scream echoed through the house, and Keira's heart sank. For a moment she looked at the ceiling and then at the clock against the wall. It was past three in the morning. Keira had decided to move into the storage room that Don turned into a small bedroom. Sasha had none of it, but she also knew that it was pointless to go against Keira so reluctantly gave in at the end.

She gently slid her foot out from under the thick blanket and onto the cold, wooden floor. As she stood up, the old floorboards beneath her feet creaked and groaned, protesting the disturbance. On the way out she grabbed her pink robe before exiting. She made her way down the dimly lit hallway and could feel the icy air nipping at her skin. She stood in the doorway of her bedroom door, she could just make out Sasha's figure.

Sasha had relived Buck's last moments every night after his death. Keira walked over to the bed to where Sasha lay. She was already awake, Keira could not make out her

  • Freedom to Meraki   Chapter 33 Deceit

    Keira woke up entangled in her hair. It was still dark out, she gasped as her fingers traveled over a body next to her. She cringed; Caleb will have a field day about this. She was certain she had put up her pillow tower the night before. She tried remembering the previous night; she remembered how Caleb had to take her home after the dinner and introduction to society. She had three glasses of champagne and it had hit her hard. She had never had champagne before, it was something that everyone knew of but nobody had laid their eyes on. She quickly removed her hand from Caleb’s bare chest. She was extra careful not to wake him up.“Don’t tell me you have never had champagne before.” She jumped when she heard his voice in the darkness. “I have not.” “I know, you had told me a couple of times last night.” He halted and moved around in the covers. “I must say, I rather like you when you are not stiff as a plank.” He was having fun with her and she hated it. Bits and pieces

  • Freedom to Meraki   Chapter 32 A future with you

    There was a sense of excitement ruling the house. It was the day of her Welcoming party, dresses had been delivered early in the morning. Caleb had his fair share of suits, he told her that he would decide on a colour that matched the colour she was wearing. She had a hair and makeup appointment at three, that gave them enough time to be ready in time. She decided on a powder blue and white ombre dress with a mermaid tail. From the white one-shoulder top it gradually turned blue towards the bottom. The bottom part was decorated with teardrop crystals, and the top shoulder had a long sleeve trailing to the bottom. The top was decorated with the most beautiful silver needlework. As accessories, she had a thin crystal band, that was her headpiece. She did not want it to overshadow the dress.Caleb had left for the afternoon, giving her the freedom to get dressed. She walked over to let the hairdresser and makeup artist in. The ladies greeted cordially and as usual, did not make

    You could hear a needle drop in the dining hall, it felt like everyone stopped breathing momentarily.Keira looked up to face her grandfather, she showed no fear. This room feared him. “Good evening grandfather.” She greeted sternly.“Join me in my study after dinner.”He did not smile, he did not welcome her. He just continued with his dinner, her eye caught Cassandra eating quietly next to him. Her grandmother seemed frail next to Zavier. Although he was old, he was intimidating. After what seemed like an eternity they had finished dinner in silence. “Follow me.” Her grandfather instructed her when dinner had finished.She quietly walked behind him through the dining hall, his office was situated in the West wing. The big door opened to a study, and a couple of books decorated the shelves. She supposed that they were not needed on Meraki. They were ornaments of a forgotten time, a time on Earth.She went to sit on the only chair available in front of the big steel desk. T

    “You will be fine.” Caleb turned his back as he put on a white long-sleeve shirt.Keira caught a glimpse of his bare back; she was getting used to him. An old married couple, she thought. They surely bicker like an old couple.“My grandfather does not seem like a people person.” She responded worriedly.“He is not from what I remember, as I recall Cassandra has always been the attentive one between the two. I don’t think your grandmother ever recovered from losing your mother, she had always seemed like she was alone. You still need to meet your cousins, I wonder how they turned out.” He shrugged and took out a pair of pants from the drawer.“They are probably a breeze, I don’t think they will adapt to me coming into the picture.” Luckily for Keira, she will only meet them with her welcoming party. “Cassandra did say that she will speak to my grandfather regarding our engagement. I am sure she already did as you are coming to dinner.”“The West family dinners, I was part of that

    “You have to be kidding me!” Keira said aloud.“Just go with it, your grandmother is already suspicious.” Caleb urged her.Caleb has been in her face ever since they had come to Ouro. Not that she could be any more uncomfortable.“There is no time,” Caleb said hastily.With a swift move, he had spun her around and pressed against the wall. This was an act she kept reminding herself of as his mouth pressed against hers. It was not a real kiss but it still left her frozen in position. “Giggle or do something.” He whispered under his breath.She let out a high-pitched giggle, her stomach churned. This was not good, she felt her whole existence crumble as she evaded his eyes. She knew what she would see, I do not approve of Miss Summons.She heard movement and looked up. She quickly pushed Caleb away as soon as she noticed Cassandra standing behind them. “Sorry.” She stated that she was genuinely humiliated.Caleb followed her lead and turned around, as if he felt her discomfort h

  • Freedom to Meraki   Chapter 28 Living in royalty

    “I will take the bed thank you,” Keira said already making a run for it.“You know this is a super king-sized bed, a whole family can camp out here and invite their pets,” Caleb answered unbothered by her actions.“I do not know what type of sleeper you are, you might think you are catching culprits and wander off to my side of the bed.” Keira eyed the luxurious silk nightgown spread on the bed. Her fingers glided over the soft fabric.“Miss Summons I most definitely do not wander in my sleep. Also don’t worry, you are not my type if you were wondering.” Caleb said grabbing the men’s pyjamas from the bed and continuing to walk to the bathroom.They had just returned from the dining hall, and Keira had eaten things that she had never heard of before. They cross-pollinate a lot of fruit trees to get a lot of different varieties. Meraki also has a vast amount of fruits that only grow here. Her grandfather was in meetings and she had heard from Cassandra that he had to inform the cou
