Semua Bab A Lovely Nightmare (An Unforgettable Revenge): Bab 1 - Bab 10

I stare at them wide eyed. How can they be here, today? They were going to come back tomorrow. They smile at me and Mrs Rae spreads her hands and starts walking towards me engulfing me in her warmth. While Mr Rae looks at us with a weird emotion in his eyes- a very uncomfortable one, I might add. I have been living with these two amazing people for a long time now."God! You scared me!" I exclaimed. I was jubilant for their early arrival but the look in Mr Rae's eye was not welcoming. When I pulled back from the hug I saw the same look passing through Mrs Rae's eyes. It was just for a mere second but it did not go unnoticed by me."How are you, my child?" She asks. I frown when she calls me 'my child'. She has never called me with that sort of nickname before."I'm good as always!" I say cheerfully. I look at both Mr & Mrs Rae and their faces hold sad, rue filled smiles. What is wrong with them? Why are they behaving like this?"How are you both?" I a

I walked down the hallway to the master bedroom to give the coffee to the owners of this beautiful yet disgusting mansion. I walked with the large copper dish in my hands, the hallway was so quiet that if a pin dropped the sound would echo. This is the same mansion where once a happy family lived.A family in which grief, happiness, was shared. It was a family where the laughter of its members echoed in the whole mansion. If the family knew what was coming for them they would have done something to prevent what was meant to happen. Not once did they think what would happen if one would leave. They would have been mentally prepared. I think so…I sighed, you see, life is nothing related to what we want, it's not a fairytale, it's not what it looks like in movies, books, novels, etcetera; it's different, it's exactly the opposite of what it looks like. 'Always expect the unexpected I still remember Mrs Rae's words, she also said 'Life is not always a bed of roses

"What are you doing here, Madison?" Austin asked. I was in his room to keep a few documents on his working table, but I saw a locket hanging from the pencil holder when I was leaving. It instantly caught my attention and I pried to look further into it. I picked the locket and felt the texture of the circle pendant in the chain. It looked like it had some type of mechanism to open it as there is something with a sword shape engraved in it. It might be something...I looked at Austin to find him in his sweatpants, I think he was getting ready for bed. I kept the locket down back from where I picked it from. He followed my hand's movement and he stiffened that playful smirk that was long gone. I think I have brought back memories, very unpleasant memories for him. I wonder what happened.He was right in front of me, I was caught off guard, I just blinked once and he was already in front of me."I have asked you something, Madison," he said. I took a few st

I looked back at the screen when I heard a knock on the door in Anabella’s room. She got up and opened the door. I walked in on a maid holding a cup of herbal tea which I specially asked them to prepare.“What’s this?” Anabella asked.“Madam, sir has asked me to give you this herbal tea, he said it will help you to relax and sleep quickly,” the maid said to Anabella. She has to accept the cup of tea otherwise my plan wouldn’t work. If she doesn’t accept the cup of tea then I will have to use my other plan which would be noticed easily. The gas would be visible to her if I released it and it would make her suspicious.However, I did not need to use plan B as she accepted the cup of tea and kept it on the nightstand. She took her phone and was sliding through some pictures in her gallery and stopping at each one of them for a minute or so. I zoomed on her phone and was surprised to see pictures of her and Isabella wh

Just as I was about to avert my gaze a car zoomed past us. It was surprising to see another car on the same road as us. This route only led to the mansion and hardly any cars passed this route. The mansion was now in full view, it was standing in its full glory with light shining from the insides of the mansion. The gates opened as our car came close by and we passed through them to the porch of the mansion.I looked at my watch and the time was now five minutes to nine. I hadn’t realized that I was twenty-five minutes late from the time Austin had ordered me to come back. I walked in confidently, the mansion was eerily quiet- not a single sound except for the sound of my heels clicking. The lights were switched on but not a single soul was seen around. This was not the usual, it was almost dinner time and not a single worker was spotted.I walked to the kitchen to see if there was anyone in there but surprisingly I found that empty as well. I looked around once
