Chapter 25: Alpha
I watched Veronica gaze at everything but at me. I understood she was hurt, and I felt more horrible than I already was. I did what Chris had always taught me to whenever I hurt anyone.
"I am sorry." I said with all sincerity, pouring my repentance into my voice and she looked up. She stared into my eyes as if she needed to see something in it, and I understood what she wanted to see. I saw the moment she forgave me, it was as clear as the blue sky on a summer morning. All thanks to her expressive face. I also saw the moment she decided to play with me and I decided to play along, she deserved that much."For what?" She said, making it a point to show she was not look interested."For saying what I said," I replied, holding back my smile."And Grace?" She asked, making me do a double take. I wasn't aware she knew about Grace."What about it?" I asked, cautious as I didn't know where she was going with it.Related chapters
When we met again Chapter 26: To the edge
In another hospital somewhere in a small town in Seattle, Kelly sat down, staring into space, totally unaware of her surrounding. She kept repeating the moment she forcefully freed herself from her father and he rolled down the stairs, breaking his head. When Sharon had come in, blood had already been flowing out of his head. She stood to the side, unable to help as Sharon quickly unbuttoned her thick shirt and placed it over the wound. The blood just kept flowing till the paramedics arrived. Sharon didn't want to allow her into the ambulance, pushing her out and calling her a killer.The neighbors that had come out to watch the whole thing began to look at her, judging her for whatever had happened in the house. Even Arnie, the old man living beside them, yelled at her."You killed your ma, now you want to kill your pa too? Have you no conscience?" He had yelled with his old, croaky voice.She wiped the tears she hadn't known were falling down her face, c
When we met again Chapter 27: Mine
I rolled my eyes as Veronica kept panicking about what she would wear. I watched the orange sky as she changed into something she felt was better than the outfit she wore before.I didn't mind the first outfit and I knew mother wouldn't mind it too, but Veronica wasn't listening. Finally, we got into car and drove to my house."Gifts!" She yelled startling him, "We need gifts, what kind of gifts would your parents like?" She asked me and I rolled my eyes again, wondering where all these were coming from."Why would we give them gifts?" I asked back."Because it's what they do, it's what people do? You don't just go to dinner empty handed, especially if it's for the first time." She replied, looking at me like I had fallen from another planet into the car.."It's still me," I told her."Stop reading my mind!" She slapped me hard on my arm, before she pulled my ear, "We need to get a gift
When we met again Chapter 28: Obsession
Florence had been hearing an anguished cry for close to ten minutes now and she began to feel fear, wondering who could be by their gate. Curious, she opened the door to her balcony and stood, looking through the spaces between the iron."Tom!" She called when she saw her son, sitting on the floor, a bottle beside him. Immediately, she turned and ran inside, rushing down the stairs. In no time, she got out of the compound and ran to the gate."Tom! Tom! What's going on?" She drew him to her, trying her best not to gag as he was stinkingly drunk. She tried to lift him but he was heavy, when she saw she couldn't do it alone, she ran to the house Infront of hers to get her neighbor.She banged on the door, not caring if she was disturbing. Jared, her neighbor, opened the door immediately, wearing only his pajama bottoms, his perfectly sculpted chest open for all to see. Florence tried her best not to blush, as she tried to comport herself."Flore
When we met again Chapter 29: What we can't see
Veronica8:30 am"And then what happened?" I asked, closing the door to my car before pressing the lock button on the car's remote. I turned and began to walk towards the electronic double doors leading out of the underground parking lot."All I know is this Adam guy isn't going to pay anything except the hospital bills and Mark is furious, he is so furious I feel he could kill this Adam person." She sounded worried and I tried to help her feel better by assuring her Mark won't throw away what he has with them."Keep calm. Mark won't do anything to jeopardize his future with you and your daughter.""I know that, really I do. The problem is that I don't like the way he has been since Sunday.""Babe, it's just Monday. It hasn't even been up to a week.""Still, my husband is never without a smile. Now, his smiles are either tired or forced and I know he is thinking of something, but he won't tell me what it is...." She sighed and I
When we met again Chapter 30: Unspoken
San Francisco (Darlington suites)11:32 am, MondayTom stood in front of the twenty-five storey building hotel open to those that had the means to afford its opulence. He could have gone in, but he felt safer waiting for Duncan on the street. Early that morning when he had woken up and realized he had told his mother he owed Chronos up to two hundred thousand, shame filled him like nothing else could. He felt ashamed because he should have known better than to get into gambling, he tried his best to stop but it was like he couldn't break it. Paul had bailed him out many times till he became fed up with his non repentance. He shivered as he drew his coat to cover him more; the weather was usually cold that morning, something people kept saying was due to the climate change the world was currently trying to battle. He scoffed loudly, why didn't world leaders help people wbo had real problems, instead, they do nothing but waste resources on things like going green and all tho
When we met again Chapter 31: slow realization
Tom watched the silver Bentley he had been following slow to a stop in front of an old building on an almost desserted street. He was not surprised by the dilapidated state of most of the building on the street as a sign he had passed some miles back had informed him that the area was under renovation. He tried to get rid of his stupid nerves when he saw Duncan get out of the car, his black briefcase still with him, and then moved to stand in front of the shop. It took some minutes but the top hat guy also got down, making a show of buttoning his maroon colored silk jacket. He paused what he was doing and looked around like he was doing a quick survey before he entered the building, his stride, powerful and intimidating. Duncan followed immediately, looking towards the corner where the cab was parked, making Tom bend instinctively to avoid being seen.He raised his head after they had gone in, breathing a little easier now that they were out out of sight. Tom was trying to gues
When we met again Chapter 32: No family here
Adam watched the young man seated Infront of him with his legs propped on his knee. He looked totally relaxed and contented, not having a care for anything as he counted the money Adam had given him. He saw the greedy way his hands shook, probably because the money he had been given was more than he had been expecting. Adam stroked his chin as he thought about all the money he made from the number of people Duncan had fooled into coming out to watch the show. It was more than business as usual, it was a cash out. Duncan was his recent link to high society; his old link having been killed after the idiot had tried to outsmart him. Adam didn't like greedy people, but he had come to realize that in his line of business, greedy was a very fine motivation, if and we used right. The problem starts when they would begin to want to have their cake and eat it, something he detested."You added more?" Duncan asked, his voice betraying his happy surprise. Adam nodded, running two fi
When we met again Chapter 33: Unexpected visit
Veronica2:17pmThe rumbling of my stomach reminded me that I hadn't eaten anything apart from the coffee I took that morning and it was already past two. I debated between going to the diner some few blocks away called the alley, and eating lunch alone or going done to join the most of the workers in the building to have lunch. The thought of walking to the alley alone was not welcoming, because the fear of running into whoever it was that was stalking me made Goosebumps break out on my skin. I pushed my swiveling chair back and picked up my cafeteria card, my decision to have lunch with my coworkers already made. Naturally, because I didn't exercise, I tried my best to take the stairs to go have lunch sometimes as a way of burn some calories, but with the hunger plaguing me and the fear, I took the lift with the rest of the workers going down to have their lunch. I pressed the up button for the lift and waited for it to arrive. Once it did, I went in and was waiting for
