CHAPTER 14: BLOOD ON MUM'S JEANLeilani shifted uncomfortably on the couch she shared with Erica and Logan who pretended like he was concentrated on his phone. Erica sat silently, glancing back and forth at Leilani and the lady who sat before them, glaring heatedly at them.She blinked confusingly when the lady's heated gaze fell on her. " It looks like we've been paused." Crystal grinned out dimples and burrowed herself more deeply into the lady's arms." Okay. Enough Brie. I really don't know why you keep looking at us like we stole something from you." Leilani said." Or we did something to you." Erica added, trying not to flinch at the intense look Umbrie threw in her way immediately she spoke." I don't think we're that close or we even know each other for you to talk to me." Umbrie retorted sounding very harsh." And...you." She pointed at Leilani. " You couldn't even give a damn call all because of this..." She paused again but one would know she was referring to Erica who in
CHAPTER 15: IN THE ATTICThe girl was about to call her mother when her eyes caught quite a large amount of blood on the dry cleaned cloth which was on the rug." Blo..od.?" She asked rhetorically." Mum? There's blood on your jeans." She called innocently." Blood?" Her mother asked already leaving what she was doing.Leilani bent as she picked the said cloth which truly had certain amounts of blood on it." Where did this come from?" She murmured though the curious little girl heard it. " This isn't mine so I really don't know how it came here." Leilani said looking at her daughter who had a glum look on her face." Crystal, are you saying mummy's lying?" Leilani asked trying to tease her." No!" The girl hurriedly replied. " Mummy never lies." She said smiling proudly.Leilani chuckled as she pulled her daughter into her embrace, humming lullabies with her gentle voice." Are you trying to make me sleepy Mom? Crystal asked with a suppressed voice because of the way her mouth (face)
CHAPTER 16: HER HAIR?The girl who was happily jumping around in excitement suddenly groaned as she hit something hard. She looked up and her eyes rounded in amazement." Mummy, he's so handsome." She shouted and Leilani legs which were already halfway into the car froze as she heard her daughter's words." Who's this little brat calling handsome now?" She murmured hurriedly removing her leg as she closed the car's door loudly." You little brat! I think I told you to_" Leilani mouth also closed as she gazed at her daughter and a young, very handsome man looking at the girl with a warm look, his slick brown hair which were looking very soft fell on his forehead as he continued looking at the little girl who was very much shorter than him.Like they were acting on set, Crystal continued gushing at the man while he also looked at her amusingly leaving the other unnoticed woman to watch their staring competition.Leilani moved a leg forward, which made the sound from her footwear remove
CHAPTER 17: WHY? KING'S ENTERPRISES, NEW YORK** Cole stood up from his chair abruptly, startling the new secretary who was about sharing the reports of the recent meeting they had just concluded.It was surprising and shocking to the other female employees when he fired his former secretary_the red haired." Sir." The secretary called on the floor but Cole didn't even spare a glance at her as he hurried to the glass wall of his office which was the highest building in the company. Dissatisfied, he moved to the window, shifting it slightly to the side, he looked down, his entire head wasn't in the view of the secretary again who was afraid he could fall from there." Sir, please move away, that's quite a height for a person to fall from up here." She panicked, holding the table for support as she stood up." Don't." The secretary's hand froze in the air as she was about to reach him." Yes sir." She complied nodding but one could see how fear was still dancing in her eyes." What's t
CHAPTER 18: BY YOURSELF Kaden knew when she was coming, he felt it, his body reacted immensely as her footsteps neared him. Her intoxicating scent was too strong for him not to recognize when she neared him.He hated this!He hated the way his body felt and reacted to this witch who had the face of an angel.He didn't know the unusual weakness he always had if she was near him, beside him or even, at the mere thought of her.As usual, her long hair danced behind her as she waltzed towards him. This time, the usual mocking smile that was always tilted on her rosy lips weren't visible. Like they were speaking with their eyes, they stared at each other for minutes." Why do I keep hating you each passing day?" She asked and he felt like thousands of needles pricked his heart to pieces." What did I do to you?" He asked and those smirks which had been absent on her lips appeared, making her more beautiful.She slowly went towards where he was crouched on the ground, his arms, chest fo
CHAPTER 19: UNKNOWN ENEMY" Stop looking at me like that." Erica said while Umbrie raised a brow. Surprisingly, they both found themselves outside, chatting with each other." I am not. Not like there's something valuable in you I'm staring at." Umbrie replied, turning her face to the other side, knowing Erica's gaze would be on her." I hate you." Erica said with pouted lips." I hate you more." Umbrie winked, the look in her eyes were faraway as she gazed forward looking at nothing in particular.Erica noticed and glanced at her, blinking her eyes like a doll." Is there something you're not telling anyone?" Erica asked already looking down and playing with her fingers which she placed on her bare skin. She had a short bumper on." Oh, it's nothing. I'm okay. Just wondering where Logan is." Umbrie stated obviously lying." Logan just bade us goodbye earlier." Erica reminded, narrowing her eyes playfully at Umbrie.Umbrie bit her the corner of her lips slightly knowing she had been c
CHAPTER 20: PAINFUL SMILE Dane sat stiffly on the cold floor as he drew his shivering mother closer to him, he pulled her gently to his chest for her to absorb the heat from his body, but he knew he was been unreasonable. The loud clatters of his teeth were heard in the very small space that looked like a mouse hole, which they were thrown inside." I'm sorry mama. I really am, if you hadn't given a worthless and useless child like me to life to breath, you wouldn't have found yourself in a horrible situation like this." He sobbed as he murmured, his lips trembling tremendously.He heard his mother heave gently as she raised her hand slowly patting his back as she started humming a familiar tune which drew more tears out of his eyes." Don't make me feel more heartbroken my child." She said, a sad smile played on her pale, chapped lips." If I was capable enough, we wouldn't have fallen into this destruction called Wymond." She said and Dane subconsciously looked around as he heard
CHAPTER 21: RIDICULOUS MOON Logan grinned cheekily as he heard the coquettish voice Leilani used before ending the call.With his left hand on the handle of his car's door, he used the right hand to search for his ringing phone in his pant pockets. " Mum?" He murmured as he swiped the green icon on the phone's screen." What?" His voice turned rough, probably from what he heard or what he was hearing." Cancel it." He said quite rudely before hanging up the call.***" No, I don't want it." Kaden grumpily woke up from his slumber, his ears perked up and he looked around but he couldn't find anything or see anything unusual.He could swear he heard a very tiny voice just now, a tiny voice that sounded like that of a child, a little child.He sighed as he looked around again, confirming he was alone. His gorgeous but dull hazel orbs subconsciously turned it's gaze at the very tiny window he hadn't noticed was in the room.A strange glint shone in his eyes as it caught the round, ful
