"Dad, I'm back!" She said.My eyes went wide open in shock as I stared at both of them and I noticed the resemblance. No, it must not be. The lady is my so-called sister?"Laura," he replied and drew her into a small hug. "What did the doctor say?""She just finished up the necessary things and let me know we could leave with her whenever we want to." She replied to him while I stared at both of them.I looked from her to the father and from the father back to her. I still could not believe I had almost a whole complete family and grandma told me they were all dead."There's someone I want to introduce you to, Laura." He said to her, Then, he looked from her to me, and I rolled my eyes."Oh, her? We already met." She said, flashing her white set of teeth to me. I stared at her without a word."You have?" He looked at me with a look of surprise evident on his face and in his voice."Yes. She's Mrs. Xavier Lowell, the lady that got married to the son of the billionaire Lowell in—"His f

Zach walked in, closing the door behind him. He was dressed in a suit and had a black suitcase in his hand. "And what is the noise about? I heard you two shouting from outside." He paused to look at both of us. He then dropped his briefcase on the chair right in front of him. Brenda stood up from where she sat and went ahead to hug him. She gave him a soft, lingering kiss on the lips too, which he did back to her, but on the forehead.Aww, sweet love, I thought. They had this type of love and yet, they wanted me to just be with their son for show. I shook my head at them.I was about to leave them in the sitting room and walk in when Zach called me back."Hailey?" He called and I turned back. I walked to where they were to respond to him."Yes? Welcome, sir." I replied.He raised his eyebrows at me, as if questioning me about something, but I didn't know what he was probably questioning me about. Seeing that I didn't get what he was asking me, he said his thoughts in words. "Sir?""Oh

I nodded my head up and down to acknowledge to Susie that she hadn't heard me wrong. Tired of all the emotions that had been rolling in my mind after the day's event, I plopped my ass down on my best friend's bed, ready for all the million questions I knew she needed answers to that only I could provide. As if she could read my mind, she sat down beside me almost immediately."How come you said that you have a sister too? Wasn't it just supposed to be a father who surfaced all of a sudden?" She asked me, her eyes fluttering with each of the words she spoke."That was what I thought too, Susie. Until I got to the hospital and I discovered that I suddenly have not just a father but also a sister who has a very sharp tongue," I responded to her questions in a single breath."What did she say to you, Hailey?"I looked at my best friend, "What makes you think that she said something to me?" I asked her."Because I know you, Hailey. You would never hurt someone deliberately."I was grateful

The hurt I felt intensified in double folds. How dare that man call me again? Hadn't I had enough damage to my life? After I helped him secure his job? He dared to cheat on me and still make it look like I was the fool? Unbelievable jerk.I know I am using a lot of curse words but grandma Margaret was no longer here to reprimand me. To be truthful to you all, at this point in my life, with all the things happening, I wouldn't give any damn if she was. Because I was so frustrated and ready to end it all.The phone stopped ringing and almost immediately, it picked up on its time again. I deliberated picking the call but decided against it immediately. I didn't need all the drama I knew would come with the call and its caller. I just wanted some sane moment to myself. Deciding on that course, I picked up the phone and switched it off.I lay in bed to get some rest after the day's stress. Not up to five minutes later, my stomach rumbled loudly, reminding me that I haven't had even a singl

A loud banging on the door woke me up the next day. At first, I ignored it, praying that whoever was the culprit would take the silent answer as a cue and leave but the sound only intensified. When the knocking was beginning to give me a headache, I forced myself out of bed to turn whoever was at the door away.I opened the door just as Xavier was about to knock again. His fist stopped midway as he saw me. He made a quick scan of me before he dropped the hand and looked me squarely in the eyes. When he didn't say anything for a minute, I looked away from him, feeling a little shy. He just saw me when I woke up with all my messy hair and puffy eyes.My eyes fell on his chest and I saw the sparkling white shirt he had on along with a polka dot red and black tie. I allowed myself the luxury of letting my eyes roam down his long legs and the red trouser he had on, then straight down to his black polished shoes. I could tell that he was still going to wear his red suit once he was ready to
