Charlotte McCartney Josh fell atop the shards of glasses that he smashed.I didn't know exactly how I felt when that happened. A disabled old man got clumsy and fell atop shards of glass. I was numb. Maybe it was how quick it all happened before we could even reach to prevent him from falling or maybe it was the fact that he was nice to Kelcie that actually made me feel bad for this man. As malicious as this may sound, it wasn't said from a place of malice, I held nothing against Josh Xavier aside from the few times he said some mean and awful things to me but my problem with him here was he was evading treatments and medical administration, evading isn't exactly the word he was telling everything to go straight to hell.He lay on the floor grunting and breathing deeply, shards of broken glass had pierced his skin causing him and the floor to be stained with blood.As soon as the Doctor came to help him, he roared, โGet back, don't you come close to me!โThe Doctor just stood there

Charlotte McCartney โGet that shit out of my sight Lydiaโ, we heard Josh say as we headed to the kitchen. โWhat is she doing up so early?โ he exclaimed,as soon as his eyes fell on Kelcie.โHello Lydiaโ I said ignoring his question and waving to Lydia who stood beside him as he sat before a table of food and drugs.โGood morning Ms Lydiaโ, Kelcie said, running to embrace Lydia.โHello Kelcieโ, Lydia said smiling and returning her embrace.โI know you heard meโ, he said, dissatisfied by my refusal to reply.โShe's hungryโ, I answered , saying only half the truth. The truth was that I was the one who awoke very hungry to find Kelcie also awake. So we decided that it wouldn't be a bad idea to have an early morning breakfast.โHello Mr. Good morningโ, said Kelcie cheerfully as though she had seen an old friend embracing him as well.โHello little oneโ, he replied, obviously uneasy by the gesture.โLooks like someone was about to eatโ. I guessed that Josh was once again refusing to eat pr

Charlotte McCartney โMommy let's play a gameโ, Kelcie said excitedly, as the three of us sat outside Josh Xavier's mansion in what seemed to be a field of some sort, a huge one for that matter very suitable for parties, receptions, picnics etc. Kelcie had somehow managed to convince Josh to come outside to play with her, he on the other hand probably may have seen it as a good opportunity to do something other than just sit inside.โWhat sort of games exactly are we talking about?โ he asked mildly cautiously.โIt's a role game, I'll be Daddy, youโll be baby, and Mommy will be mommy.โBut why can't you be baby and I be Daddy?โ Josh complained.โBecause I'm always the babyโ she replied slightly annoyed as though it wasn't obviousโOkayโ, she said and ran off, soon she was back with some grasses in her miniature plate, eat baby she said to Josh and ran off again.The look on Josh's face was so comical I burst into Laughter.โWhat's so funny?โ he asked, annoyed. โI'm really confused on

Charlotte McCartney โJosh looks like you've not only gotten yourself a wife but also someone to fight your battles for you isn't that right?โ Beatrice Xavier asked, staring at me with a sinister smile.โYou know I'm his wife and yet you choose to disrespect my husband and daughter before me?โ I countered feeling more enraged by this woman, who not only has been able to succeed in making Josh feel more miserable than ever but was also reaching to what she considers other parts of him to do the same thing.โShe's a real fiesty one now isn't she?โ she said, still trying to downplay my presence and position but wavering a little.โExcuse me lady!โ I challenged, feeling bolder than before. โWhen my grandfather told me about this place, he told me that this house belonged to Josh Xavier, handed to him by his father. As much as I do not dispute who you are to him and what role you may play in his family dynamic, I still do not believe it is proper to barge into a property that is not yours

Josh Xavier The days always seemed the same when I spent it inside. Nothing really happened other than what was already not happening, my misery. That's why whenever I feel miserable I choose to remain indoors. There, I could drown in my nothingness. As a young man I had lived my life in tune with the fever, the rush. But I had been cautious nonetheless. I wasn't one to be dead drunk or deadly intoxicated by drugs or feelings. I played them all with caution and care, I wasn't one to be defined by errors and mistakes contrary to the case I was a perfectionist. But here I lay, an old disabled man, crippled by an accident. The same accidents I had somehow successfully managed to escape all those years when I was a bachelor. I have questioned every possible thing to be questioned on why it never happened then, when I was too immersed in living and working, why I wasn't destablised when I was most stable. Why it happened when I thought it wise to finally have a family, when I found who

Charlotte McCartney โAnd here is your coin!โ Kelcie exclaimed as she brought the coin out of Josh's ear in attempt to show off her latest magic trick,โYeah!โ We both cheered as though we did not see the coin all along. Josh even applauded her which she received so cheerfully. It was a relief seeing both of them, my not so favorite person with my most favorite person both in tune with each. I was happy because I needed this for Kelcie, I wanted her to feel comfortable, feel appreciated and loved, not have to hide but on the contrary be free to roam as she liked. It was the best I could give her in all that had happened these past few months.โMummy I want to be a magician for my birthdayโ, she said, opening her mouth to get a piece of the cake Lydia had baked for us.โI thought you said you wanted to be a princess the other dayโ, I said giggling.โBut I want to be a magician nowโ, she replied, jumping.Before now, the only proper birthday party Kelcie ever had was when she was two, b

Charlotte McCartney โThe birthday isn't till two weeks," I said, wrapping my friend in the most ferocious hug. โWhen did you get back?โ I asked, smiling.โI came in last night," she said, returning my ferocious hug back until broke off the embrace to catch my breath. Maddie had always been a strong one, so this wasn't surprising. Her adult years were dedicated to endless exercises,training and travelling. She was as strong as two men put together when it came to combat.โHow was Uganda?โ I asked. Ever since we both signed out of college, Maddie had been in the habit of travelling from one third world country to another, immersing herself in one charity outreach to another. It was not a shocker. Her father, a rubber magnate, had been a passionate philanthropist who had hundreds of charity organizations around the world. Sadly he and his wife passed on after a fatal car crash leaving Maddie and her sister Tara as their successors. Tara had gotten married right after college to her hig

Charlotte McCartney Lydia and I sat watching Kelcie run around for what seemed like a long time. She was running back and forth. โI wonder where she gets all that energy. She's running a race in that little mind of hersโ, I said, shaking my head.โYou know sometimes I wish George was like that once more. Other times I thank God he's not anymoreโ, She said, blankly โWhy is that?โ I asked, chuckling.โThe strength to keep up with that amount of energy. I used to have that before, but not anymore and trust me when I think about it myself now, I wonder how I had that strength in the first place and have none of it nowโ, she said and laughed.I laughed as well. โKeeping up is quite a job, I'm happy you had to point that out, you know several nights Iโd really have aches all over my body. Sometimes I'll wake up so late because of how tired I got trying to keep up with her the previous day and in all of this the little devil wakes up stronger and earlier I must addโ, I said and we both l

Charlotte McCartney By the time I opened my eyes, the car had stopped moving. โWe have arrived at our destination Ms Charlotteโ, Jason said it felt like he had already said that earlier, but I was not sure exactly. โThis is where I say goodbyeโ, he said, smiling warmly. โWe are at the airport nowโ, I said, more to myself than to him. โWe are at the airport now maโamโ, He told me. Obviously, he had not heard me.โWake up baby, we're here nowโ, I said, tapping Kelcie lightly. โWake up my babyโ, I added, shaking her a little more vigorously.โMommyโ, she said, rubbing her sleepy eyes with her palms.โWake up baby you'll have plenty of time to sleepโ, I told her, smiling calmly.โAre we there now?โ She asked, a little more awake.โYes baby, we areโ, I answered calmly.โyay! We are here!โ Kelcie said, fully awake now. Jason held the door open for us as she spoke.โThis does not seem like the regular airport, Jason. Or am I mistaken?โ I questioned, with raised brows.โYou are not mista

Charlotte McCartneyโMommy are you okay?โ Kelcie asked, during the course of our ride to the airport.In truth, it was pretty evident that I was not very much interested in the whole display that went on there.โI'm fine Princessโ, I smiled, trying to conceal the anxiety and fear which had been aggravated after our appointment with Maketov.โAre you sure mommy?โ she inquired further as though it was pretty evident that whatever I seemed to be hiding was not all that hidden.โMommy is fine my babyโ, I said, drawing her to myself this time. It was amazingly soothing holding her in my arms as she wondered exactly what was going on. โMommy is just a little in doubtโ, I explained, minutes into embracing her. โThough it's nothing to worry about, everything is going to be alrightโ, I added, holding her much tighter to myself.The whole appointment was a total displeasing experience. It was not because of any unpleasant situation or that the workers within the establishment were slightly unb

Charlotte McCartneyโOh that's a very splendid choice Madame, but would you mind if I asked you a question thoughโ, Maskatev said, in an exquisite manner.โOh no problemโ, I said. โGo ahead and askโ, The man was evidently not the kind you denied such indulgence.โWhy choose the cream colour?โ, he asked a simple question, even though it was not one I had anticipated for at that moment my mind had completely gone somewhere else entirely.โI don't knowโ, I confessed. โI guess cream suits me a lot better. I like it, it's simple and looks comfortableโ, I said trying to give an explanation.โBut you haven't even tried it on yetโ, he said with a little smile on his lips. โCome on, people get her into that dress for meโ, he said and almost as soon as this was said, about five or six attendants hurriedly came to my side and escorted me to the end of the room where the dressing room was. The rest of them stayed back with Kelcie.The girls had me in the dress in no time and before I knew what w

Whitney McCartney โHi motherโ, I said, as I approached her. โWhitneyโ, Mother replied simply, without taking her eyes off the magazine she seemed to be engrossed in. For some reason though, I did not think she was really interested in the magazine. It felt like she was only acting to be interested in it just so she would avoid talking to me. I know this because I know Mother. If there was anything really intriguing about that magazine she would have been happy to talk about it.โOr maybe there is something intriguing in it and she is just too angry at me to want to tell me about itโ, I thought. The thought of this cut me deeply. โThis is all because of that stupid Charlotte that just refused to stay where she was supposed to be. I still don't know what was the need to do a wedding to solidify their stupid marriage in the first place. Talk more of making a big deal out of it so much as to come all the way here, to this mansion to inform Mother and try to rub his love for her in eve

Charlotte McCartneyMr Peter Masketov himself along with a chain of assistants were outside waiting by the time we got there. โMommy is that for us?โ Kelcie inquired as soon as we got to where the small crowd of people converged.โI don't know Kelcie, let's seeโ, I replied, โlet's seeโ, I repeated in my heart. โAlright, let's do thisโ, I said out loud, as the car revved to a halt, talking to myself much more than I was even telling her. We got out of the car. And set to head on to meet with the small crowd that was already smiling at us, a gesture of goodwill and show of an anticipated presence.โMa'amโ, the driver called back as we were about to join the convergence. โWhat time will be convenient for me to come back? I already have a time set to return but the boss signified that I inquire if you may want to take out some more time to do some other things before I return to take you to your destinationโ he said, speaking politely.โThe boss, Joshโ I thought. Up till now, I had not s

Whitney McCartney For the first time in my life I feel so insignificant. This house, this mansion where I was born, where I have always called home feels like a strange land to me. โWhat is this?โ I asked rhetorically, noticing a fading drawing on a small part of the mansionโs entrance. I walked closer to see what it was. โWhat is this? Why am I just seeing this?โ I asked myself as I stared at the fading image of a lion. โOh it's probably Grandfather's lion painting, the one mother was planning to have redrawn. So this is where it was?โ I thought. I had not noticed it in all the years I had walked past that entrance.โEverything feels so unfamiliar. This unusual silence that is screaming so loudly only began after Charlotteโs uninvited and unwelcome visitation. Why did she have to come here anyway? Why could she not stay where she was? Why did she come here? She should have stayed there, where she belongs, with that broken piece of shit that calls himself Joshโ, I thought, angrily.

Charlotte McCartneyโWeeeeeeee! That's how the plane goes mommy, weeeee!โ Kelcie said completely ecstatic. I wondered how it was possible to not have been infected by this cheerfulness. Evidently Josh had made it happen. Her dream of flying was finally coming through and yet I couldn't find it in me to be happy because I knew what happened and certainly what lay ahead may only have looked good but was not at all. โBefore I forget, your friend Maddie will be joining you two at the resortโ, Lydia informed me. โShe will be coming with a couple visitorsโ, she added.โWhich visitors?โ I asked, a little worried. I did not mind Maddie joining us at all. She would even be good companion. โBut who else would she bring?โ I asked myself, not wanting strangers. โIt would be easy to face my embarrassment with Maddie and Kelcie alone. Maddie could even defend me if the need arisesโ I thought.โDon't worry, it's not too many people. She will be coming along with her sister and her sister's daughter

Charlotte McCartneyโMommy! mommy! Get off the bed, we are already lateโ, Kelcie said, shaking me from my sleep.โI must have fallen asleep againโ, I thought, recalling I wanted to shower earlier.โLate for what?โ I asked, still very much asleep. Apparently, her shakes were courtesy of the fact that her baby strength had very little impact in doing what she had intended to do.โCome on now Charlotte, you can't still be this sleepyโ, Lydia said. I hadn't even noticed she was also here too.โI'm really having a hard time knowing what I'll be late forโ, I answered her.โOh so you really have forgotten then?โ she replied even in my daze I could hear the mild surprise in her voice.โMommy, we're supposed to go and see the dressers todayโ, Kelcie replied this time.โOh yes Charlotteโ, Lydia joined in,โYour appointment was set for this date, todayโ.โOh thatโ, I recalled loudly. โIs that even still happening?" I thought to myself. Today I was supposed to go to check out my wedding dress, fin

Charlotte McCartney By the time I came out of the bathroom my baby was no longer sleeping. She had turned on the bedroom light and was already out of the room as she usually did in the mornings. I looked up at the antique wall clock in our bedroom, โ7:41amโ, I said. โKelcie must be having her milkshakes by now or just talking to Lydiaโ, I thought, then it hit me like a blow.โLydia knowsโ, I said out loud. โShe knows. There is no way she doesn't know. She was the one who called Josh to come and conduct the wine tasting. We were supposed to do it together but she excused herself. I'm sure she would have expected me to do the same as soon as Josh arrived but I stayed, foolishlyโ, I thought.โThat's what mother always talked about. This is the same thing mother always said about me, the same reason she's always complaining. I'm so stupid. I never think before I act. I'm just so stupid. I could have left. There was nothing stopping me from leaving. But I stayed. Why? I could have left it
