His Contract Wife

I sighed as I close the front door of our house, my brows furrowed when I heard the noises of a groaning followed by a cough by the person inside the house, I carefully place my bag in the sofa chair and slowly, carefully walking near to where the voice came from.    "Papa? Melanie? Kris?" I called but no one was answering, I crooked my head to the side. I walk directly to our room and saw Papa whose now lying on the floor with blood on his shirt. I gasped and instantly ran to his side, with tears in my eyes.      "Who did this? Papa? Answer me!" I said, crying as I raise the hem of his shirt and saw the bleeding wound, I look at him he was smiling and h

I look at Melanie and Kris who are now laughing as they arranged their stuff, Kris was holding the broom while Melanie was sitting on Kris's bed collecting and piling Kris's stuff. "Lily?" I heard Kris called me, I turn my head to look at them and back to what I was doing. "Yes?" I answered, I heard her hummed which made me look at her again. "I think we need a little storage for some stuff," She said, I look around and furrowed my brows. "Why? We just have little stuff for now," I said, I stood up and put my hands in my hips as I scan the room. We have bought the basic needs and groceries as I look for a job to at least help us sustain our lives and we decided to just suspend their school this year until we can recover, I already explained to them what happened and we cried, but of course, they're both smart and I assure to keep them safe. I sigh and look at the stuff we need to arrange, I take a look at my wristwatch.

I ran towards the stairs and bang the door, it opened after and I saw Kris with her messy posture, puffy and red nose she then hugs me and sob. "They took Melanie, I can't do anything," She said through sobs, I hush her and hug her patting her shoulder a little, I push her a little and look at her face.   "Did they hurt you?" I ask her, she shakes her head and wipes the tears on her face. I sigh relief that she's not hurt. I heard my phone beeped and I immediately get it to answer the call.   "Hello?" I answered him, "Your sister is safe-- for now," I heard him say, I clenched my fist and pace back and forth trying to calm myself. "Where is she?!" I said, almost shouting, I breathe in and out trying to calm my nerves and sigh, massaging my forehead. "Relax, she's safe you want to talk to her?" He said, I then heard Melanie's voice in the line.   "Melanie?!" I called h

"Let her go!" I shouted at the man holding Kris, Melanie's crying beside me as she watched Kris trying to let off their grip. I turn my head to look at the man named Anthon-- the boss. "Please!" I said, pleading to him to let my sister go. He nodded and they let go of Kris, she then ran towards us and hug Melanie, "Come here, Lily," Anthon said, looking at me seriously. I wipe my tears and look at him trying to look brave I sigh and walk close to him he then grabs my hand when I was near him and drags me out of the room leaving my two sisters behind. I can hear their muffled complaints when I walk with this man. I am confused and hesitant by his actions. We stop by the big window, he was facing outside and I was just beh

The day ended with us finishing to pack our things, it's not much because we haven't been able to buy new clothes and other things though Anthon bought us pairs of shirts, jeans, and dresses which some of them were refused because it was too much.  I stretched my arms, and shake my fingers a little when I finished packing our things croaking my neck to the side as I walk slowly to our bed. I sat on the bed and took a glance at Melanie and Kris who are now finished packing their bags.   "Is that all?" I said when I saw they just packed four bags in total two of their bags are pack bags and the other two
