Adriano slowly put Hazel in his chair behind the desk of his office and opened the drawer to took out the first aid box. " It will be okay." He assured her as he put the sticky substance at the red skin of her hand blowing softly at her hands. Her hands got burned slightly when coffee spilled. " Did I do something to upset you?" He asked calmly stil siting on his knees in front of her as he held her hands softly in his. "No! Why would you say that?" She asked tilting her head to the side and he sighed heavily. " Why did you do that? Why did you spiked her drink?" He asked looking her in the eyes and she wetted her lips in panic. " I didn't Pie-" " Stop this shortie! You are lying to me now!" He asked with a hint of irritation in his voice and she shook her head clutching his hand. " I know you since childho

Shock, releif and unease. Those were the three emotions that were swirling inside Edna like a storm. She was shocked that she was able to get away Adriano that easily. She was shocked when she asked victor to stop the car few kilometers before Long Grove and he compelled. She said that one of her friends lives here when Victor asked her that she was going to ahead Wisconsin." Here? But you said you were going ahead of Wisconsin." Victor asked stopping the car at once and looking at her with his teal orbs. " Yeah. But my friend lives over here so I would stay with her before continuing. I'm tired and famished." She said and as if one que her stomach growled making them both chuckle." You should eat something first." Victor suggested with a smirk, his brown hair messed up because of the wind." Nah! I will be good. Thank you so much for your help really! I owe you one." She said unlocking the door wanting to get to her parents as soon as pos

" How much time has passed since we had eaten like this together," Thomas voiced out his thoughts as he sit at the middle of the small dining table with Edna at his right and Eva at his left. " I missed this so much." Edna said with a small smile taking a bite of her food. " For once I lost hope I thought that I would also lose you like your mother," Eva said with worry lacing her voice and Edna and Thomas both frowned at the mention of her real mother. Edna's spoon stopped in mid air as she gulped a bit before taking the spoon to her mouth. Thomas shot Eva a knowing glare and Eva quickly offered a small smile to Edna. They knew that Edna didn't like to talk about her past. " But.... When your letter came .. I can't express how relived I felt that you are safe but still there was a thought that you will come back or not." Eva shuddered at the thought. " But I know she would because she is my

The sweet aroma invaded nostrils of Eva disturbing her sleep, she groggily opened  her eyes and her brows twitched when she realized that it was coming from her kitchen. She made her way to the kitchen leaving the sleeping Thomas behind. Her socked feet padded softly on the wooden floor. Her eyes widened when she took in the scene in front of her. There she was making pancakes and stirring the eggs simultaneously with utter concentration. Her Edna looked so adorable with her rich brown hair in a messy bun and her cheeks and nose was being honored  with the batter of pancakes. A genuine breathless laugh escaped past Eva's lips making Edna's head snapped at her. "Mom!! when did you woke up?" she questioned flipping over the pancakes and turning off the flame of eggs. "I wasn't planning to wake up this early." she answered gesturing the still pale blue sky where the sun was struggling to break through the barrier of clouds. "But then

It took some convincing but after good ten minutes Edna finally got Daniel’s number from Lucien. Though he was reluctant but Edna was stubborn. After she dropped the call, she made her way to the subway taking all the precaution she could to be far away from her current living place. After she reached another town then only she took a breath. She licked up her dry lips, her brown almost honey coloured orbs searching for the telephone in the crowd area of subway path. Her rapid breathing mingling with the harsh footsteps of people surrounding her who were in hurry to reach their destination.Her footsteps stopped in front of small telephone booth. Getting inside the glass door , her hands shook as she picked up the recover to dial the number that was in her clammy hands the corner of the small ripped page wet a little bit because of it. She was nervous as though she did not wanted to do this but that was her last stroke, her last hope because somewhere in the back of
