ISABELLA I felt like the ground should just open and swallow me whole. My brother was right in front of Quincy's door. I'm gonna pass out. "Quincy..." I muttered, looking at him with pleading eyes. He stood up and pull me up on my feet. He dragged me towards his walk-in closet, far towards the hanged suit jacket and pushed me behind them. "Don't come out till I come to get you, okay?" He said. He looks so calm, I don't even know how he does this things. "Okay" I replied. He slowly starts to walked out. I could hear the bedroom door open, although it was faint. "Hey man" Quincy said. I heard footsteps, causing me to be more alarmed. "Hey, I've been banging on this fucking door. Why didn't you respond?" That's Ethan's voice. "Sorry, I had to use the toilet" Quincy lied. "Nina have been acting weird towards me for a while now, do you think she......" I try to put my ears to it but he didn't complete the sentence. "You know what I mean" he said. "Ask her yourself, dude. You're the
ISABELLA My head was aching like it was smashed on a hard wall, it hurts so bad. I sat up immediately, although it was hard but I felt like if I didn't, I'll die and never wake up again. "Finally, you're awake....." I know that voice, the voice of an angry mother. "Now I want you to tell me when you started drinking?" I glance at my window to see her sitting on the couch. She looks mad. I chuckled nervous. "Hey mom, how you doing the fine, beautiful Saturday?" I asked. She glare at me. "Oh my goodness, you're glowing. Have I ever told you how beautiful you are?" I said. She didn't say anything.I sigh, if she won't say anything then I won't either. "You little......" She trailed off, holding back her anger. "Maybe you feel like you're sixteen and whatever, you feel you can do whatever you want. That's not how things works" she yelled. "Mom, calm down, you're shouting" I whispered. What if Dad finds out about this."Don't ever tell me to calm down young lady. Your Dad kept saying i
ISABELLAI don't know why he got startled all of a sudden. We got into the car, he looks around again as if someone was watching us. "Quincy, are you okay?" I asked. He didn't answer.He drove far away from the beach. "Someone was watching us" he utters. I gasp and stare at him. "I'm sure of it. There were footsteps on beach that weren't there earlier when we came" he explained.Who could it be this time. My heartbeat pick up immediately at the thought of someone watching us. I wonder where we are going to right now.He stops his car close to a mall. "Quincy, is everything alright?" I asked again. He smiles and nod. He sounded like this is his life. "I'll be alright, soon of course" he assured. "Don't worry about me" he rubs my shoulder. I nod. Sometimes, I wonder if Quincy had ever loved anyone. It was quite silent in the car so I decided to break it with the question that has be ringing in my head. "Quincy, have ever been in love before you know.....me?" I asked. He tensed up and
ISABELLAIt's been two days now since Quincy has been sick. I've been taking care of him. I would always take permission from my family, saying I want to stay with Nina and they just allowed. "Do you need water?" I asked. He whines and turn to the other side. I couldn't tell if he's better or he's playing sick. "Quincy, don't you think it's taking longer than expected?" I asked. He turns around again and looks at me. He smiles then grab my hand, pulling me down to the bed. I fell on him with a gasp. He groan at the impact. "You've not given me my final medicine" he said against my lips. I pulled away. I want him to get the message that I don't want to do anything stupid. "What's the problem?" He asked. "You've been acting weird since you came two days ago" he rubs my cheek with his thumb. "You're sleeping with your aunt" I blurted out which I didn't mean to. I just wanted to say what's on my mind and it flew out of my mouth.He sigh. "How did you know that?" He asked. Is that the
QUINCYI kept on thinking about what Isabella told me about the anonymous message and I thought it was best for aunt to know. I wanted to go to her office but I decided it's better I go to their house. Her mother hates me but I just want to go. I drove into their compound and head towards the door. I hit the doorbell. The guards didn't say anything cause all this is my money. They work for me. I waited for some seconds before the door swung open. An angry old woman who suppose to be my grandma glares at me. "Why are you here?" She asked. Her wicked demeanor was prominent. She could have at least hid it."It's been a while, grandma" I said. She rolled her eyes and walked in. I followed in. The house haven't changed a bit, still the same as my Dad left it. "I wanted to speak to aunty" I said. She sat on the couch and took a sip from her wine.She chuckles. "Why would someone like you want to talk to my daughter, and fucking stop calling her your aunty, you mean nothing to us" she said
QUINCY"Alright, I'm on my way" I said through the phone. Mr Jalen was murdered last night. Somebody is really tailing on me. I rushed out if my house, I got into my car and drove straight to the police station. I parked my car and rushed out. I noticed the ambulance truck was still at the front. I saw as they carry his body out with a clothe on him. The breeze blew on the clothe, making a side come up. It was him alright, but something else caught my attention. The tattoo, the star shaped tattoo. Why does he have that tattoo. My eyes moved from him as soon as Charles walks up to me. My suspicions were correct. But I'm not gonna act out. The thing is, they both aren't the first person I'm seeing that tattoo on. "Mr Grey, you're here. Someone came in last night and killed Mr Jalen" liar. He killed him with his own hands. "Where are the camera footage?" I asked. He shakes his head."Someone formatted it" he replied. "How is it possible that in a station, someone just came in, kill
ISABELLA"It's..... really nice to meet you too" I placed my hand in front of her but she just eyed it and pass me. "Is she the reason you said that?" She grab his shirt. "I'll get rid of her so we can be toget-" the sound of the baby crying cut her off.I walked over to him and pick him up, the nanny helped place him in my arm. I don't really know how to do this. I started rocking the baby. "Shhh" The baby started laughing which only made me to start laughing too. I look up to see they're all staring at me. "Whose fucking baby is that?" She asked Quincy. "Carla, can you fucking leave?" Quincy asked. She chuckled, taking small steps towards him. "I'll go, but I just can't wait for your doom" she said. She walked by me and hit my shoulder, causing a sharp pain on it. The baby starts to cry. The nanny came over to me and I hand her the baby. He sigh then walked towards the stairs, I followed after him. "Quincy" I called. He went straight up the stairs and I just follow him. He reac
ISABELLAWe waited for the doctor to come out and tell us what happened. I was busy biting my nails, I can't believe what I just saw. I couldn't even recognize him anymore. He has bruises everywhere. Mr Chris, Nina, Ethan, Dad, Mom and I all waited to hear what the doctor have to say. They were really taking long. I got up immediately when the door opens. The doctor was not having a happy or relieved face on but just looks confused."Doctor?....." Dad said, Mr Chris by his side. I don't want to hear what he have to say but I am literally curious right now."Are you his guardian?" He asked. Mr Chris steps forward. The doctor sighs. "Mr Grey barely survived the surgery, he's out of danger, that's the good news" he starts. I gasp. "The bad news is that he's in coma and we don't know when you will wake up" he said. I wince at his words, tears streams down my face. Dad sigh. "Thank you doctor" he nods. I sat on the bench, mom walks up to me and sit down. She rubs my back. "He's gonna be
