"I'm sorry" Lorraine apologized DeAngelo had a confused look on his face. He couldn't exactly figure out what she was apologising for, or more so, any reason for her to apologize. He was the one that overstepped his boundaries and made them go adrift, if anyone should have been apologising, it should be him.Slowly, he stepped away from her, walked some distance and then turned to face her and said"Lorraine you don't have anything to apologize for, I'm the one that owes you an apology","No no DeAngelo" Lorraine said and walked after him,"I know about Ronald" Lorraine said abruptly and DeAngelo was taken aback."Oh" he muttered softlyLorraine only looked at him with empathy. He stood quietly still for a few minutes. He seemed deep in thought and reverence like Lorraine had just awoken a memory he buried together with the pain that came with it.Slowly he turned to her, curious about how she found out, but could only pinpoint one source.However, he still wanted to give her the be

The next morning, as early as 5 p.m. Lorraine's intrusive thoughts woke her up.She immediately recalled Clay. Someone needed to watch over Clay, he couldn't be left alone at a time like this.Lorraine got up from her bed, threw a robe around her delicate body and walked into the bathroom with her phone on call with DianeDiane had become almost like a sister to Lorraine, when Diane saw her at the first family dinner, she knew Lorraine had some spunk, she could easily connect to.In no time, she quickly befriended Lorraine and took Lorraine herself by surprise. Diane just had a free spirit around people who had her energy. They started talking on the phone almost every day when Lorraine and Clay were still new in their contract marriage.FaceTiming each other at any moment was a habitual practice between them. Today, Lorraine and Diane were on FaceTime while Lorraine was brushing. Lorraine had thought Clay's younger sister would be the perfect person to babysit him.Lorraine spat out

The road to The Winston estate brought back memories Clay thought he had buried.Since the last family dinner, he had not visited his family's estate.As the car drove through the long driveway that led to the massive steel gate of one of Manhattan's most beautiful and secured homes, tucked away in the far depths of the city, all Clay could feel was how this place never felt like home.He rolled down the window of the backseat allowing the soft breeze to bathe his skin with a refreshing feel as his mind returned to the letter his grandmother had written for him.Shortly, Mark pulled the car to a stop at the designated parking spot which was reserved for Clay."Huh," Clay scoffed, a little shocked and flattered that they still kept his space.Immediately he stepped out of the car, the guards rushed to him, welcoming and guiding him inside the house.From the corner of his eyes, he could see some of the workers at the estate murmuring and whispering. He did not need to think hard to kno

"What are you doing here?!" Clay raged as he stormed towards his mother "Because you need to know the truth" Elaine replied sharply"I can stand you hating me, but I'm tired of you walking around with an image of me in your head like I'm some monster" She raged.At this point, Clay's countenance softened as he gazed at her with a confused stare"I'm not the most perfect mother, I know that, but I don't want for a moment for you to think that I ever abandoned you", "I was always around for you, even when it seemed like you didn't want either one of us. I was there for you!" She spoke angrily and then her voice started to break "You don't know what it was like Clay. You have no idea how it felt like seeing you spend every holiday, moment, experience, bonding with your grandmother.","I was supposed to be your mother yes! But what happened to you being my son?!","Whenever you needed advice on something, or support you went to your grandmother. Heck at some point I barely heard from

Lorraine returned to her room, sat on the bed and opened the email attachment Mrs Hughes sent to her. She took a deep sigh and began scrolling through it, page by page.Luckily for her, she had an eidetic memory so it took her about twenty minutes to go through the list and profile descriptions of all the important guests that were to show up.A few moments later, her phone rang again, however this time it was Clay.Immediately, her heart began to beat uncontrollably, Lorraine felt an overwhelming guitar engulf her that she hadn't reached out to him in days.Taking a deep breath, she pressed answer and sat up, placing her legs in a crisscross manner."Hi, love" Clay's calming voice entered her ears through the speakers. Lorraine immediately felt relieved, he didn't sound mad at her. What was even more puzzling, was the strange calmness that was exuded through his voice. She had spent these past few days occupied with her project, worried that Clay was a wreck, that when she heard how
