THE CHARISMATIC MRS. BELMONT; BACK FOR REVENGE CHAPTER 61
JADEI walked back into the office, my eyes scanning the room for the documents I had given an excuse for. I sank into my office chair and sighed.I grabbed my phone and stared at the notifications I had gotten.A couple from my school program, more from friends at school but none from my so-called family.I sat there and looked at the screen and thought about what family was supposed to feel like. I put the phone face down on the desk before the thought could go any further because once it started it didn't stop, I had things to do today.I couldn't afford to go down that road right now.But it came anyway.It always came when I wasn't looking, the memory of that house, the way they looked at you, the way you could be sitting at a table with people and still feel like you were completely alone in a room, the way nothing you did was ever quite right, nothing you said was ever quite enough and you spent years adjusting, shrinking and trying to find the version of yourself that would fi

ALICIA"Hey, wait up!" I jogged after Zach, chuckling nervously as I finally caught up with him. He paused, his eyes fixed on the cars on the road as I tried to catch my breath."What's going on?" I asked, trying my best to keep my voice controlled."I don't know what you're referring to, Alicia." He said and I folded my arms trying to avoid his gaze."I mean–" I started and tried to find something light in it, something that would take the edge off the last few minutes and bring us back to the easy version of this, the version where we talked about everything, and it never cost this much, "you looked like you had seen a ghost back there, I was starting to get worried about you," I laughed a little, just a small sound, just enough to offer him the option of laughing with me and letting it go.He didn't take it."Don't," he said, his voice wasn't unkind but it was firm and it didn't leave room for the joke to land anywhere, "don't try to make it look like less than what it already was,

KILLIAN"Jade." Alicia's voice came from the hallway, coming closer."Who had come to see–" her voice was cut short as her eyes landed on my form, her expression changing to one of confusion as her eyebrows raised slightly."Oh." She cleared her throat quietly and finally took her gaze off my form."I–it could just wait." She added, her voice a bit low as her eyes moved in between our bodies, her expression changing from confusion to suspicion."Did you have something to say to me?" Jade asked, her voice a bit shaky."Uh... No, no it's not important, it can always wait." Alicia urged, a small nervous smile shaping the corner of her lips.She paused and stared at me suspiciously, her eyes dancing around my facial expression.If there was one thing I was sure about when it came to Alicia, she was looking for a reaction, an expression that would serve as proof of whatever she had already assumed.And the last thing I wanted was her finding out about my mother's allegations."You could

KILLIAN"Tell her I'm here and I need to see her right now." I told Walter again for the third time since I arrived at the mansion that morning. I paced through the length of the corridor, my hands feeling sweaty.The sound of Walter's footsteps disappeared into the distance, the silence slowly pulling at my sanity.After what felt like forever, the footsteps resurfaced and as it got closer, I stopped pacing, pulling my hands over my chest."Well?" I asked as his figure reappeared through the corner. I opened my hands and raised my eyebrows in curiosity but they were lowered instinctively as I noticed his facial expression.Walter's face said everything before his mouth did, that particular look he had carried my entire life when he was the one caught between my mother and whoever she had decided she wasn't available to, apologetic, careful and braced for the reaction."She said she wasn't available, sir," he said, the way he always said things he knew weren't going to land well, quie

ALICIA"What do you mean Vivienne Belmont sent these?" I asked, my voice a bit lighter as I took my seat. My gaze rose to the bouquet that I had thrown into the trash and back to Jade's face."Why would Mrs Belmont be sending me flowers? At work?" I asked, my mind trying to wrap around the thought of her purchasing flowers for me.Not flowers for the twins, but for me.Something didn't seem right.I glanced at the flowers, at Jade then at the documents on my desk. As I sank into the chair, I tried to swallow the lump that was stuck in my throat. I glanced at Jade and found her gaze on my form, her eyes holding a lot of confusion and questions that I doubted I knew how to answer.I looked at the card again and I turned it over in my fingers and I tried to make it make sense but it just wouldn't, it kept sliding away from any logic I tried to attach to it and I was left sitting there with a signature I couldn't explain and a bouquet in the bin, the name Vivienne Belmont sitting in the m

ALICIA "Flowers came in for you again." A nurse peered into the office, flowers gripped in her hands. My gaze lowered to the roses in her hands, a small smile tugging at the corner of my lips. "Who's it from?" I asked, trying to maintain the tone of my voice. Could it be from him again? I adjusted in my seat, my heart doing backflips behind my ribs. "It's from an anonymous sender, I think." She pulled on the attached card, confusion etched on her forehead as she brought the bunch to my desk. An anonymous sender? I grabbed the bouquet and let my gaze fall on the card. It had no name signed, just a signature at the bottom of the card. "Was...was that all that came for me?" I asked, turning the flowers around suspiciously. "Yes." She replied, her gaze on my serious expression that was either giving away my curiosity or my disappointment. I stared at the flowers after she left and turned them over slowly in my hands as I looked at the card again like something new was going to ap
