ログインLiora’s pov“What…” Selene glanced at the loaded bag on the ground and then at me. “What’s going on? I-I was hearing yelling. Is everything alright?”“Everything’s fine, Selene, you don’t need to worry about anything and if you don’t believe me, you can ask Liora. At least you can take her word for it,” Darius left a kiss on Selene’s cheek before heading out.Selene immediately rushed to me. She stared from head to toe, checking out the clothes I wore and my packed back.“The necklace…why aren’t you wearing it? Is it broken or are you just tired of wearing it,” I could feel the hurt in her voice.Darius might be right. Leaving like this would hurt Selene. I won’t run away from my problems just because they’re stacking up. “It’s none of that, Selene. I’m fine now. You don’t need to worry about me,” I said with a genuine smile.Selene tied her arms around me, giving me a warm hug. “Don’t hesitate to tell me when you feel it’s too much for you to handle.”Selene and Darius had left so I
Liora’s povDarious checked if there was any one in the passage before shutting the door behind him.“What the hell are you doing, Liora?” He asked with a curious but disappointed look on his face.“Take a guess, Darius,” I said with the intention of pushing him aside but he firmly held onto me. “Let me go!”“Why now? You could’ve left two months ago, hell, you could’ve left after the wedding. So why now? What are you unhappy with that didn’t bother you two months ago? Is it because of Selene’s pregnancy? Are you unhappy that she’s welcoming a bundle of fresh joy into her life?”“Don’t be ridiculous, Darius! How the hell would I be sad that my own sister is pregnant? Don’t you see how happy she is?” I grunted while breaking from his grasp.Darius blocked the door with his huge figure. It was clear that he didn’t want to let me go. I simply wanted to leave without alerting anyone but if I continued to fight with Darius and cause a scene, Selene would find out about my plans of departur
Liora’s pov “Me,” I gestured while pointing at myself. “Yes, you,” she said out loud.The slow jam in the background got paused and everyone’s eyes was on me. I had begun to wonder how a party was organized in the house I live in without me being invited.“I never sent you an invitation to this party, so why are you here?” Ravenna increased the volume of her voice. The crowd had started to murmur amongst themselves. I didn’t feel embarrassed because she was the one embarrassing herself. Her guest must think she was out of her mind because these were the same guest that were present at Selene’s and Darius’s wedding. Selene had introduced me to everyone. They all know me as Selene’s sister and Ravenna’s daughter. “Uhm uhh… I think you’re mistaken mum,” Selene immediately rushed to her and slowly snatched the microphone from her. I could see her whisper something to Ravenna and it wasn’t something nice.“She had just mistaken Liora for someone else. I mean why would she be kicking h
Liora’s pov“Correct yourself, mum,” Selene said with a straight face.“I spoke proper grammar. I don’t need corrections,” Ravenna stated boldly. I just stood there staring at Ravenna while she glared back at me. “Why’d you think it’s ok to speak to Liora like she’s an outsider?” Selene asked in anger. “Joy has finally grazed the doorstep of our family and you’re working extra hard to ruin it. Why are you like this?”“Firstly, I can speak to her any way I like because quite frankly, she’s an outsider. Secondly, I’ve always been like this against outsiders so don’t pretend like it’s your first time seeing me act this way and finally, I’ve given my final decision and I won’t let you leave this house,” Ravenna frowned her face.I could see that Selene wasn’t in the mood for verbal fight or picking sides so I decided to let Ravenna have her way.“It’s ok, Selene. You don’t need to come today. There’s always tomorrow. I’ll be fine on my own,” I gave an odd smile before running off.The f
Liora’s povI’ve been longing for sweet things these days. When I’m at work I try as much as I can to get my hands on candy before I start working and now that I’m at home, I’ve filled my fridge with different varieties of cakes and chocolate.I’m eating one right now and I can’t help but think that it’s the baby that’s making me have these things. I'm usually fond of bitter tastes like coffee.I was snacking on my two step strawberry shortcake when I heard a loud scream downstairs. It was Selene’s voice.I immediately left what I was eating to go and inspect what the issues was about. Is there an intruder in the house? Has something caught on fire? This was usually that time of the night for such things, my assumptions roared.“What’s the matter, Selene?” I asked as soon as Ii came down the stairs.Seems like I was the last one here. Everyone was already gathered in the living room after hearing that scream.Selene immediately caught a glimpse of me in the midst of everyone. Ravenna
Selene’s pov“What? Arrested?!” I jolted from my seat upon hearing this diabolical statement. “For speeding?”“It turns out we were being followed. I was able to spot the stalker from my window at the hotel today so I chased after him. I was able to break his camera so I guess no headlines of us tomorrow. He hopped on his bike and ran, I chased. These lunatics let him go and caught me and charged me for speeding. What type of officers are these? You sure they know the law at all?”“They let the stalker go and decided you were the criminal? No no no, I cannot let this go just like that—”“You don’t need to bother yourself coming here, Selene,” Liora mentioned. “Just send a lawyer with the bail money and then I’ll be on my way to the office. I have a lot of unfinished work.”Unfinished work? She’s too kind. She just wants to let this go without holding the officers responsible of letting the stalker get away. I quickly organized my purse, I reached out to my driver.“Hello? Are you stil
