LOGINSEREIA"The doctor wants to see us. Now."Those words hit me hard.I was on my feet before I even realized it. My bag fell off my lap. Landed on the floor. I didn't bother picking it up. Valerian was already moving, grabbing his keys from the table and his coat from the hook by the door."Valerian what did the doctor say? What happened?" I asked."He didn't say " he replied."Then why does he need to see us?" I pressed."I don't know " he said.My hands were shaking. I couldn't feel my fingers. I bent down to grab my bag. I missed it at first but when I finally picked it up, my heart was pounding so hard I could feel it in my throat.Valerian took my arm. Pulled me toward the door."We need to go. Now " he said.I didn't argue. My legs were moving. I didn't feel like I was in control.The front door slammed shut behind us. The night air was cold and bit at my cheeks and lungs. I hadn't grabbed a coat. I didn't care.Valerian opened the drivers door. I got into the passenger seat. The
SEREIAChapter 164I did not have an answer to give.Gracie stood beside me at the window. Her arms were. Her face was pale. The press was lined up along the fence. Camera’s were pointed through the bars and faces were pressed against the gaps."Why are they here?" Gracie had asked earlier but I wasn’t sure on what to tell her.I looked at Valerian and he looked right back at me.Gracie’s eyes moved between Valerian and me. "What? What is it?" she asked.I took a breath. My chest felt tight. My hands were cold."Gracie there is something you need to know " I whisperedHer face went tighter. "What happened? Is Liyana okay?" she asked me."Liyana is fine. This is not about Liyana’s health " I said to Gracie."Then what?" Gracie asked me.I looked at Valerian again. Valerian nodded at me."The DNA test " I said to Gracie. "The one the court ordered " I told Gracie.Gracies hand went to her chest. "What about it?""Lucas is not the father " I answered.Gracie blinked. "What do you mean Lu
SEREIA The courtroom doors swung open. Judge Morrison walked in and everyone stood up immediately.The wooden benches creaked. Shoes scraped against the floor. I gripped the defense table tightly. My knuckles were now white and my palms were sweaty. The only thing calming me down was Valerian. He stood behind me and his warmth was calming."Please sit down " the judge said. We sat down.Judge Morrison adjusted his glasses. He picked up some papers and he held at them like they were something heavy."We have received the DNA results requested by Mr. Sterling," he said. "The court has also received additional documentation from the hospital."Lucas’s lawyer stood up. "Your Honor we want to add those documents to the evidence."Margaret stood up beside me. "No objection, Your Honor."The judge opened an envelope. He pulled out some pages. He read them. Left to right. Left to right.I stopped breathing.The room was so quiet. I could hear the clock on the wall. Tick. Tick. Tick.Judge M
SEREIAThe mansion was quiet when we walked in. It was too quiet. The kind of quiet that felt like the walls were holding their breath. Gracie stood in the foyer. Her hands were clasped in front of her. Her face was pale and I was sure that she had been waiting, for hours."Where is she?" she asked frantically immediately she sighted us. "Where's Liyana?""She's at the hospital " I whispered. "She's stable. The doctors are taking care of her." I added trying to assure her.Gracie’s eyes filled with tears. "What happened? I've been calling your phone for hours."I hugged her. "She's okay, Gracie. She’s going to be okay.""What happened? What did the doctors say?"I led her to the living room and Valerian followed. We sat down and I told her everything. The tests. The bone marrow failure. The transplant. Valerian being a match.Gracie stared at Valerian. "You're a match? How?""The doctor said it's markers " Valerian shrugged . "Just a coincidence." He added.Gracie repeated, "A coinc
SEREIAThe words just hung there like a shock."Mr. Ashford is a match for your daughter " the doctor said.I stared at the doctor. "What is going on here?" I asked him."Valerian Ashford. His bone marrow is a match for Liyana’s. It is a match " he explained."That is not possible." I whispered in shock.Lucas stepped forward, looking very pale. "How can this be? I am her father. He is not even related to her " he said.The doctor shook his head. "I do not know how this is possible. I only know what the tests show. Mr. Ashford’s bone marrow is compatible with Liyana’s. Yours is not Lucas " he said.Selena stood up. She had her hand over her mouth. "This does not make sense " she said.Valerian stepped into the doorway. His face not showing any emotion. "The doctor is right. I am not her father. There has to be another explanation for this " he said.The doctor said, "The tests do not lie.. I cannot explain it. Sometimes these things happen. It is a coincidence. It does not mean anythi
SEREIAThe hospital room was quiet except for the beeping of machines.I sat beside Liyana's bed, watching her sleep, her small chest rising and falling beneath the white sheets. Her rabbit was tucked under her arm. Her hair was spread across the pillow like dark silk. She looked peaceful. Innocent.She didn't know that her body was failing her.A nurse appeared in the doorway. "Ms. Fontaine? The doctor is ready for you."I kissed Liyana's forehead. "I'll be right back, baby."She didn't stir.---The donation room was small and cold.A bed in the center. Machines along the walls."Ms. Fontaine, please lie down. We'll begin the testing."I lay on the bed. A nurse inserted a needle into my arm. I watched my blood flow through a tube, into a bag, into the machines.The room grew warm. My eyelids grew heavy."Just rest," the nurse said. "We'll wake you when it's done."I closed my eyes.---I woke to sunlight.The room was empty. The needle was gone.The door opened. The doctor walked in
SEREIAThe house was in our chaos. Liyana was running through the hallway screaming about her lost hair clip while Gracie chased after her murmuring about children and their weird attachments.In the middle of the chaos, Sarah lounged beside me looking relaxed as ever while she watched the madness
SEREIA I don't remember the ride home because one moment I was standing outside the hotel gasping for air, with a torn dress and shaking hands but now I was in a cab watching the streetlights blue past the window.The driver at the front kept glancing at me through the rear view mirror his face tw
SEREIA I woke up to gray light filtering through the curtains and the faint sound of Liyana giggling downstairs and for a moment I just laid there staring at the ceiling as I let the events of yesterday wash over me. The play, Liyana hugging Valerian and of course Lucas. I pushed the thoughts aw
THIRD PERSON Lucas’s hands slammed against the car mirror and the glass shattered immediately spreading across the asphalt. Pain shot through his arms as blood spilled from it but he didn’t seem to care. He ignored the pain kicking the tire of his car until his foot throbbed."She ran to him." He
