“I have a very important announcement to say. Or rather, I have something important I must say”. I broke the silence in the dining room and said, causing all eyes to turn to me as they stared at me.

“Huh. An important thing to say? What is it?”. Clara asked as she directed the spoon containing the soup to the mouth. After she swallowed the soup, she cleared her throat and added, “Why did you not mention this to me in the kitchen? Did it slip your mind?”.

“No, it did not”. I replied to her, an

    I hurried to the exit door and opened it, instantly crossing paths with Evans and almost bumping into him. The cell phone in my hand fell to the ground as I grabbed his shoulders. “Tell me. What was the clue you were talking about?!”. I asked him with a shaky breath. I was desperate and needed to hear the answer directly from his own mouth. “Well? Speak already! I don't have all the time to wait”. I demanded impatiently. “Dignolly City. We found traces of doctor Kevin Robert there. At long last!”. Evans exclaimed, and for once, after my heart skipped a beat, I returned to the penthouse and slowly went ahead to take a seat on the sofa. I allowed Evans’ words to reply and sink inside my head over and over ahead. To think Doctor Kevin Robert hid himself in such a place like that. I gritted my teeth thinking about it. “Have you-”. I stared at Evans and tried to say, but I could not finish what I wanted to say, because he interrupted. “Don't worry about that, boss. I have already

    “Mom, can't my big brother and I go to school? It's boring staying indoors all the time. Besides…” I noticed Lily playing with her fingers as she said to me. She always did that whenever she was nervous about something and feared that I was going to refuse her. “Besides, what?”. I asked her calmly and was careful enough not to make her more nervous. “I want to make friends. I don't have any”. She replied to me, and for a second, it hit me hard in the chest, because I recognized that I was the one at fault. When we were back in Dignolly City, I had buried myself working at the hospital most of the time. I barely had enough time to spend with her and Lewis. But I was rest assured because I had Maddie and Clara to help me out with that. And with their help, especially with them following my orders, they made sure that Lily and Lewis barely communicated with other kids, and assured that they took educational lessons at home, rather than at a school. I thought my actions were goin

I broke the silence in the dining room and said, causing all eyes to turn to me as they stared at me. “Huh. An important thing to say? What is it?”. Clara asked as she directed the spoon containing the soup to the mouth. After she swallowed the soup, she cleared her throat and added, “Why did you not mention this to me in the kitchen? Did it slip your mind?”. “No, it did not”. I replied to her, and taking a deep breath, the look in my eyes turned serious, and my voice changed from being friendly to icy. I said, “Clara, after I returned to the estate, you noticed that something was wrong somewhere with me and asked me about it in the kitchen”. “Yeah, I know. Wasn't it because of that Travis guy?”. Clara casually asked, as she continued to drink from her soup. “No, it was not completely because of him”. I told her, and before she could get the chance to say any other thing to me, I cont

    We arrived in the dining room, and as everyone returned to what they were once doing (Before I asked them to leave the living room in the first place), I went to the kitchen to meet Clara. “What are you doing?”. I asked her, as I rested my body against the door frame. “Dinner. I am making dinner for everyone”. She replied to me, then pointing a finger at the chopped onions on the kitchen counter, she said to me, “Can you help me with that?”. I went and grabbed the plate of onions and gave it to her. “Thanks”. She said as she collected it from me and put the onions in the pot of boiling soup. The aroma coming from the pot of boiling soup made my stomach growl hungrily. “Whoa. Calm down. It isn't ready yet”. Clara teased me. “As if”. I replied to her, then went ahead to lean over on the counter, with my elbows resting on top of it. “By the way, I noticed you didn't feel like yourself when you returned. Did something happen when you went to that bastard's house?”. Clara suddenly

    I found myself on the balcony, with my arms resting on the railings, as I sighed over and over again. I suddenly began to look back to the person I used to be, before I looked at the current me and asked myself, “Am I cruel? Have I become so cruel?”. I wondered, but looking back at how everyone trampled on me when I wasn't like this, caused my eyes to darken, and I held the railings tightly. “I am not cruel. This is how the world wants me to be”. I declared, before I wiped off the drop of tear that escaped my eye, and I turned and left the balcony. I did not have the time to feel sorrowful or miserable, not when I still had so many things to do. I returned to the living room, where I saw Clara waiting. “Are you alright? Have you become calm?”. She rose from the sofa and went ahead to place her hand on my shoulder as she asked me. She might not look like it, but I could tell she was worried about me. It was written in her eyes, and I could see it. I smiled at her as I replied, “

    I returned to the living room. “Maddie, can you be a dear and take Lily and Lewis to their room? And I would appreciate it if you remained there with them and did not come out”. I said, causing them to stare at each other's faces, before they returned their attention to me. It was clear that they had an idea about the scene which was about to take place. And so, without complaining, they left their seats. “Mom”. Lily muttered. She looked a bit scared, making me feel guilty. I went to her side and squatted in front of her as I caressed her cheeks with both my palms. “It's okay, sweetie. Your Mom ought to make all those bad people pay”. She nodded at me with a smile, before she followed her brother and Maddie, and left the living room, thus leaving behind me and Clara. She finally paid attention to me. “Have he found her?”. She asked me. “Yes”. “Finally. Some good news”. She declared, before she kept her cell phone aside in her pocket. “Well? Let's go to the baseme
