Dead silence suddenly crept into the place as Nana struggled with her speech, almost leaving her completely speechless. Kelvin dabbed at his mother's tears as it rolled down freely. "Do you see why it isn't wise for you to be here right now? I told you to stay until the surgery is performed." "Have you found a match yet?" She quickly sat up. "Not yet." "Let me guess, those ones found aren't up to the standard you laid down, or what?" "Yes, Mom. They're all cheap and of low quality. My son's kidney should be a premium one; nothing less" "Can you listen to yourself, Kelvin?! Just hear yourself this once, please. That baby is suffering way too much, and you know that. He shouldn't be enduring such an amount of pain at this age, you stubborn man like your father!" "Nothing will happen to my strong man, Mom. He's the son of his father! So stop with this already and join me search for that–" "Premium kidney?" "Yeah." "I think you should send one of your boys to help you out on this
"Pee-pee, Mommy. Mommy!" As she snored softly, snuggling with King on his bed, the soft cry filled her ear. "Mommy, pee!" Pouting, King shook Syntia who seemed to be lost in her own world. "King? What is it, baby?" Slowly and groggily, Syntia sat up, rubbing her eyes with a huge yawn escaping her mouth. Clutching his crotch as he twisted his body, his little voice rushed out, "Bathroom, Mommy. Pee-pee…" "Sorry, darling." Yawning heavily again, Syntia scooped King in her arms and rushed him into the bathroom. While she helped him, Doctor Smith and Kelvin walked into the room. "They should be in the bathroom, sir." "I'll go check on them." "Yes, sir." Sauntering toward the bathroom, Syntia and King pushed out, almost bumping on Kelvin. "Sorry sir." Her face instantly flushed as Kelvin locked eyes with her. "When did you–" "Where's my chocolate, Daddy? Can we go home now?" Wearing a grin, Smith moved closer to King and crouched before him. "When the beautiful sun come say hi
The whistling of the wind pressed on while the elderly people stood erect on the spot. "I'm not here for you, Mrs. Blakes. I was just passing." "You can fool the freaking birds, not me!" With her walking stick, she moved forward, leaving a little space behind. "You will do your sorry ass good not to show your ugly face to me again, because I won't be this lenient the next time you ruin my taste!" The bodyguard knocked the elderly man onto the ground as they walked past. Glancing around the eyes on him, the man slowly picked himself up. His contorted face grew harder every second. "What bad fate to have met the shedevil herself on a dark day as this." After a long, dull look at the restaurant, the trembling man shuffled further down as though his strength had left him, leaving just liquid. Inside the restaurant… "Cancel the table we booked. This is Venice. Mrs. Blakes." She handed the cell phone back to the bodyguard as he cleared the way for them to go through. Outside, swept h
Up on the second to the last floor of the gigantic skyscraper, pierced into the sky, was Hanord, fiercely clicking the keyboard of his desktop computer in front of his face. The soft and sweet aroma of the steaming coffee sitting near his right hand, wafted around the enclosed office. Crumpled papers littered the large office space. Then a soundless knock crept in. Hanord adjusted his glasses but dug his head back to the pilled up files. While he continued, another knock came. This time, a bit hard. "Enter!" The door opened softly and a young girl dressed in a cooperate suit, rushed in. Her high heels clicking on the mirrored floor, as she approached Hanord whose head remained down. "Sir, Mrs–" "Send her out!" "But sir, she's–" "You, get out! If I see her shadow here, I'm gonna fire your fucking ass!" As the young woman spun around, ready to flee the wolf's den, Natasha shoved her aside, sending the young woman stumbling to the wall. The sight of Natasha pushed her heart in h
Sitting face to face with the stoic Kelvin while King nestled on her lap, inserting his hand into her t-shirt, Syntia fixed her puzzled gaze on Venice laid motionless on a bed in a huge room. An IV tube ran down from a bag of transparent liquid and into the back of her palm."Where did you meet my Mom?"Syntia shifted her gaze to Kelvin's squinted eyes roaming over her body. "Sir?" She adjusted her body in the chair."It was quite clear that my Mom knew you.""Me? I don't know her. That was my first time meeting her.""Nah… I don't think so." He wiggled his finger in Syntia's face. "Tell me your deal with her cause my sixth sense is on reader."With a gaped mouth, Syntia studied Kelvin's determined gaze on her. When she swallowed hard, glancing down at the little boy cuddled in her arms, her cell phone rang."Please excuse me, sir, I need to take the call.""Take that call when we're done talking.""It might be important.""You're trying to tell me that I'm talking trash, right?"Clut
"I just asked a question, Mom. That girl in my car, do you know her?""Send that girl here, I want to see her live!"Kelvin's eyes shifted lower, studying his mother's shaky hands. "Live, right? Don't think I've ever seen you fumble with anything before, Mom."Taking a quick glance at her son, Venice shoved her trembling hands under the blanket. "Has King taken his dinner already, that he's sleeping?""We've both had dinner. He's good." Did I really see that girl? But how is it that she's still… She was… Goodness! This can't be real! Staring deeply at her son, Venice soaked herself in her mind. She grabbed her wrist, but her hand kept trembling.******As the snowflakes fell, children and adults giggled as they caught them falling to the light blanketed ground. Inside the large hospital building, Kelvin and Hanord stood in the silent private hallway. Sweat slid down Hanord's face."I'm telling you, man, that girl… That little bitch, her curse is working!" Hanord rubbed his abnormally
As the echoes got trapped in the heated room, it shrank back in size. Kelvin and his mother's glare hardened dangerously on one another, unflinching that which seemed forever."Who's Syntia to you, Mom? Why don't I know this?" He threw the cain on the couch, then folded his arms around his chest, fixing his gaze on his mother.She peeled her gaze off Kelvin's hook. "Make sure I don't ever set my eyes on you again, or see you around my family, because I won't hesitate to put you ten feet under! That's how low your disgusting life is to me. Ten feet below the Blakes feet."Taking shaky steps backward as sweat formed on her face, the door swung open. "Mommy, you didn't give me a hug." A grumpy King shuffled in, looking downcast."Bring my baby over here, Adam.""Yes, ma'am."Adam who stood behind King, bent over to pick him up, but King shoved his hands off and threw himself into Syntia's body, craning his neck to show Syntia his eyes filled with tears."Adam!""King, your Nana wants to
"Two days and it was time to go to that riverbank as planned, to meet that sweet boy I had always had a crush on since freshman year. Still on that blindfold, seeing nothing but pure darkness, the chatter and giggles told me others came along. My heart was beating very fast."Taking a seat at the foot of the bed, Natasha dabbed at the rolling tears silently slipping out. She pulled her knees into her chest, resting her feet at the edge of the chair, then picked a glimpse over her shoulder, at Hanord now laying on his side."My head darted around, nervously feeling the empty air with both hands. 'She's of low rank but cute. I'll be going alone without anyone else touching her.' Do you remember saying something like that to those other boys back when you were in eleventh grade or something? I couldn't picture any of their voices, I never knew who they were.""I don't know what prank you're trying to pull, but you should leave cause I don't give a damn."Adjusting her body on the chair,
