********TRIGGER WARNING******The Events that follow might be disturbing. You can choose not to read it, it would not change the sense of the story.Read at your own Discretion!!!*********Pops sat upright on his narrow bunk bed in his tiny cell, for the first time in years, he actually regretted doing something.It had been easier carrying the guilt of killing Rose all these years because he knew that no one knew about his secret…. probably his darkest secret.Never in a million years would he have thought that the one person on the planet who knew was his son.He remembered the day so well. Everything was still fresh in his memory.Rose went into labour in the early hours of the morning. She wanted a hospital birth, but he had insisted that the baby be born at home, why? Because there was price on his head. A security camera had spotted him in a gun exchange battle. Even though his face could not be identified, it was clearly seen on camera how he took a bullet to his right leg. H

Senator Sauvebeaux"He is suing the government." Brantley added."What? I was just saying it, I only meant for him to threaten them and not actually do it!" Mila looked in horror. She already had been receiving more attention than she craved. She did not want it to aggravate."Let's talk with him. They are waiting for you." "They who?" Mila was confused. "Come, you will see." He went to her room and got an oversize overall and threw it over her head to cover her visage.Emille hovered directly in front of her house. He lowered a little stand for one person, held together by two ropes on either side like a swing.Brantley helped her get on it. The rope was drawn up.The reporters did not stop trying to click pictures.She was still in her PJs.Brantley drove away in his car._______"Carl, what is going on?" She ran into Carl's arms when she saw him.Emille had dropped her and flown off.She knew this place, it was the Senate."We are going to fix things, it's gonna be ok? I'm s

OUTCAST"Why do you want to see Fabiola?" Brantley decided to ask at one point. He just refilled their tea cups.Mama Rivers who was about raising her cup to take a sip, paused mid way. She stared at her husband who also had the same look on his face."Oh, we knew her when she was a kid. Since we were in town, we decided to drop by." Papa Rivers replied."Oh, ok. I see." Brantley nodded. There was an awkward silence among them."We'll see your father and enjoy the view a little before going back." Papa Rivers added."I will be glad to show you around town. I bet they'll be so much to entertain both of you." Brantley smiled."Yeah." And there goes the silence again. ________"I got a text from Brant, he said that the package was at my doorstep." Mila looked at her brothers. They were just touching down back in Limesville."Just as we thought." The ever nonchalantly Emille said.Carl was silent."I bet they got my address because of the media." Obviously."So…we are going to your hou

WHAT BRENDA KNOWS'Why do good men die and the selfish monsters live?' Brantley pondered as he walked down the corridors of his father's house empty mindedly."Do you want to bulldoze me before you notice that something is in front of you?" Brenda was starting in front of him, with her short self and crutches.He halted abruptly, for real, he had not taken note of the girl."Oh, I see you've upgraded to crutches. They're cute." Brantley rubbed her head like a kitten.She supported her weight on one crutch, freed her other hand and used it to slap his hand off."Why are you always fighting with father?" The youngest White asked.Bran was stunned, he did not expect that question from here. He was speechless for a few seconds, trying to think of an appropriate response to that."We were talking, maybe a little of a disagreement, but we were not fighting." Brantley looked down and said."You were loud!" She raised one side of her lip, confident about her statement and presumption."Wha

NAKED SLEEPOVERThe newly bonded family decided to spend the night together.Carl and Phelix were pals, they warmed everyone's heart, especially Mila because she never known that he was good with kids. She had no idea whether or not he loved kids, she did not even know what he loved.Pops had ruled their lives in such a way that all their likes were buried within them and only what he approved, that was what they did…to his face though.She allowed the cold water to run down her body. Everyone together, the smiles, the crying, the hugs, the laughter…this is what she'd ever wanted, not tension, the type of atmosphere she grew up being used to under Pop's roof.It was less than twenty four hours, and everything changed. For once in her life, she did not have to worry about tomorrow. Only if everyone she loved could be here…Only if Dom had lived to experience this different breeze…even just for a day."Fuck this life!" She cursed, turned off the shower, threw a bathrobe on her wet body.
