This directed their gazes back on her. Drake instinctively feigned ignorance, following the gaze of the kids."Well, guys, I think it's time to go now– Come on, let's get going. I'm sure we do not want to get locked in the early morning hectic traffic " She hinted, draping them along as she head out of the house." Aunty – But–Dad" They stuttered with Melissa always cutting in which unables them finishing their statements. "We can talk to Dad after school, okay– " She stuttered and howled back at Drake who stared at their back with a sense of relieve as they exited "See you later, bro. Just don't worry about the kids, I'll take care of them""Alright, Lissa– See you later guys. Daddy loves you!" He answered and hovered over to the kitchen afterwards to which he pulled the fridge open and poured himself a glass of chilled water, gulping it all down in a single shot. He stared through the window as their car pulled out of the house and heaved a sigh of relie

Laura and Rubin took the left pavement,leading to the bus stop to catch the early morning bus which travels along the route to their school– Laura kept fretting behind him which made her look a little funny. He secretly glanced at her and smiled to himself, almost with a chuckle. She instinctively glanced up at him and caught him in the act."Why are you laughing? " She asked, pausing in her steps. He instinctively put on a straight face and turned his gaze away from her.Strategically clearing his throat, he answered. " Nothing– I think we should pace up now else we'll miss the bus " With that, he sauntered ahead of her. Laura tilted her head with a sceptical gaze as she stared at his back. She scoffed and raced after her. "Hey, wait up– You better tell me what that was about" She called. Noticing her intention, he raced off with a chuckle to which Laura did same after him."It's really nothing " He laughed.As time went on between t

Not wasting time, Alixies dragged back her chair, trying her best not to disturb the serene environment in the class as she jerked to her feet– this brought Rubin's attention on her again. He deftly turned his gaze as he lifted his eyes, meeting her creased gaze."Where are you going? " He loud whispered to which she spontaneously replied."Need to run now – got an urgent issue to attend to. Kindly pass by the house with my bag after class, okay? Please.""Is it about that message?" He asked on an impulse. "Or still going after Ben?" With this Alixies sauntered off, ignoring his numerous questions."Hey!–But" He stuttered with his eyes tailing after her, his hand stretched out in an attempt to stop her but they were already  few distance apart which made him pause in his words–letting out a faint groan of frustration. Not ready to get everyone's attention, he gave up with his eyes still fixed on the hourglass shaped fair girl, who was

Hansel sauntered out of the car and Alixies who watched from a distance stuttered in disbelief~ her jaw stiffened as the words faintly escaped her lips. " Mr Hansel?"She gasped and this grew her curiosity the more. " Why is he here ?" She thought but then, a thought hinted which shoved off the other- her eyes instinctively widened as they involuntarily bated. " Did they already call for a ransom for his head?" She mumbled. But then, something else caught her attention which gave life to her previous thought; the man guarding the entrance spontaneously bowed his head in respect the moment Hansel trod past him.'' What the hell is going on here" She exclaimed and as if on an impulse, added. "Nothing seem to add up~ I must find out what all this is about" . After Hansel had faded in with the man at the entrance, Alixies hastened down as well and crept in through the only source of entry which her quick survey had proven."Where did you keep him?" She heard him inqu

Hansel sauntered through the door into the hall that evening to meet his family seated at the hall, watching the news update on Elosie's suicide case. As often happened with mysterious deaths, speculations became rife by the hour as everyone tried to find possible causes and the rumour mill continued to chum it's vicious tale. His approaching steps brought the gaze of both Delia and Ben, who had no idea of what was really going on and Marvin's attention on him." Dad" Ben exuded, matching up to him at the entrance, of which Delia followed with a smile and hugged him, landing a kiss on his cheeks."Welcome, honey" She cheerfully greeted. On noticing him, Marvin instinctively jerked up from his side of the seat and shuffled up the stairs which made Ben and Delia stared at his back, worried. Delia who only knew his absurd attitude may be the cause of his father's rejection to his decision to take up basketball as a career, instantly feigned a smile."Um, sorry about Marvin's a
