Christiana sat on the couch, gazing out of the window with a wistful expression. Her fingers traced absentminded patterns on the armrest, her thoughts consumed by the absence of her brother-in-law Simon and his wife, Helen. The couple had recently moved into their new home across town, and though Christiana should have been happy for their new beginnings, she couldn't help but feel a sense of emptiness in her heart.Beside her, Tiger, her loving husband, noticed her melancholy and placed a comforting hand on her shoulder. They had always been a close-knit family, and the sudden void left by Simon and Helen's absence was hard to ignore. Christiana turned to meet Tiger's gaze, her eyes filled with longing."Tiger," she sighed, "I miss them so much. Our house feels incomplete without them."Tiger nodded understandingly. He too missed the lively presence of their beloved family members. The house seemed quieter, the laughter less frequent, and the familiar warmth that Simon and Helen brou
The sun shone brightly over the charming town of Meadowbrook, where the lives of Christiana, Tiger, Helen, Simon, Lucy, and Abraham had unfolded. The passing of time had woven new stories into the fabric of their lives, and now, 25 years later, their children had grown into remarkable individuals.Stella Kelvin, the daughter of Christiana and Tiger, had inherited her mother's grace and her father's determination. Her golden curls cascaded down her shoulders, framing a face that exuded both intelligence and kindness. Stella had always been curious about the world, constantly seeking new adventures to embark upon. At the age of 26, she had just returned from a research expedition to the Amazon rainforest, where she had been studying the diverse flora and fauna.Gabriel Kelvin, son of Helen and Simon, possessed his father's sharp intellect and his mother's warm heart. His deep-set hazel eyes mirrored the depths of his compassion and his fiery spirit. A talented artist, Gabriel had forged

They had been classmates from the very beginning, sharing countless moments of laughter and learning together. But now, as they stood on the precipice of graduation, Robert's feelings for Alena had taken an unexpected turn, blossoming into something more profound and intense.Every time he saw her, his heart skipped a beat. Her enchanting eyes, her infectious laughter, and her kind-hearted nature had woven themselves into the fabric of his existence. Yet, he couldn't find the courage to tell her how he felt. The fear of rejection and the potential loss of their friendship held him back, leaving him trapped in a bittersweet limbo.As the days passed, a heavy cloud of melancholy settled over Robert. The knowledge that Alena would be leaving for London soon, pursuing her dreams and carving her path in life, intensified his i
The warm summer breeze rustled through the trees outside the porch, where Christiana and Tiger sat together on their favorite wooden swing. They watched as their daughter Stella, a recent college graduate, sat across from them, her eyes filled with a mixture of excitement and uncertainty. It was time for a heart-to-heart conversation about her future goals.Christiana gently clasped Tiger's hand and smiled at Stella. "My dear, we've been so proud of you for graduating alongside your brothers, Robert and Gabriel. Your journey has just begun, and we want to know what you're thinking for the near future."Stella's gaze shifted from her parents to the horizon, as if searching for answers in the distance. She took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. "Well, Mom, Dad, I've been doing some soul-searching lately. College has opened my eyes to countless possibilities, and I want to make the most of them."Tiger nodded, encouraging Stella to continue. "That's wonderful, Stella. You have so much po

Christiana's point of view I was in a deep slumber in my bed when the phone rang. I took it from the table beside my bed. It was my brother’s lawyer. I would have ignored the call if it was anyone else. I picked up the call and put my phone on my ear. “Christiana, be ready with my fee. The next hearing is near.” The lawyer informed me. “Yes, sir! Will be ready with the amount. Can my brother get bail this time?” I asked him anxiously. “Christiana, it is a murder charge. Things are not as easy as you think. Be patient enough.” He said to me, making me impatient all the more. “Patience! Are you serious?” I screamed. “Yes, do you even have anything in hand? Be calm and patient, Christiana.” He said to me calmly. “I have been patient enough for years. But got nothing. When will my patience be checked? My brother is innocent. He has done nothing. He has not killed anyone.” I said to the lawyer with tears in my eyes. “Christiana, I understand your frustration. But you need to under
Christiana’s point of view “Hurry up, Christiana! You do not have much time. Anyways you do not have anything to do now except abide by me. Did you even bathe?” My stepmother rushed into my room with her orders. I rolled my eyes listening to her. I had felt her selfishness the millionth time. But this time it was different. I wanted to spoil her plan, nevertheless, I was helpless. “Stop it right now. We do not have time. Get ready for your wedding as soon as possible.” She pulled me out of my bed by my hair, pushed me into the washroom, and shouted at me to get ready for the wedding. Well, it was expected from her. Seldom she insulted me. It was her favorite time pass. “Yes, I am going.” I snorted in response. . . . . I was nearly ready in a few minutes. My curly black hair was pulled up into a French braided bun, along with my mantilla tucked into it properly. My makeup wasn’t speaking up, I wanted to go natural instead of bold. It did not matter to me much; I was not excit
