ALINA'S POVEver since Micheal had hired a maid and a chef, she had become so idle and restless. All she did in the house all day now was lounge around until Micheal came home where they would have dinner and talk about his life and seek her advice or her opinion on a matter that was bothering him related to work.She was growing tired of this new routine and dynamic and had woken up extra early that day to clean the house before everyone woke up. She had tiptoed out of bed in the wee hours of the morning, making sure to confirm that the house was eerily quiet before making her way down the stairs to the laundry room where she rallied her mop bucket and cleaning detergents to get to cleaning."What are you doing this late, Alina?"She jerked which caused her grip on the bucket to loosen causing the bucket to fall with a loud clang onto the floor."You startled me!" she cried placing a hand over her chest to still her heart."You're the one sneaking around the house trying to clean at

ALINA'S POVThe next morning, things had run so smoothly it was a wonder why they got into arguments in the first place. She had felt so remorseful about accusing him last night that she had gotten up early that morning to prepare something for him before Mrs. Agatha got a whiff of it and shut down her actions.Fortunately, the older woman must have been so tired that she had slept right through breakfast. She had eventually given the woman the day off, looking at how frantic and guilty she looked when she hurried to the kitchen apologizing for oversleeping. Was this how her mother had felt whenever she made a mistake at her employer's house? Her heart softened and without a thought added an extra week on her vacation period, a paid leave. She had advised her to go take good care of her family and to treasure every second of it. Her thoughts drifted to her father who despite being an alcoholic and woman-beater had created memories for her to remember him before things had gotten wors

ALINA'S POVShe was seated on the couch two days after their encounter snacking on some chips and some guacamole when the doorbell rang."Who is it?" she called.The intercom buzzed alive and the screen showed no one. She frowned and returned to her chips.Maybe she heard wrong. She thought as she stuck a piece of chip into her guacamole one more time. The doorbell rang again and this time, she decided to go check who was behind it all.Her expectations didn't prepare her to see Agatha Wheeler, her husband's younger sister. She was wearing dark corduroys and a peach coloured tank top waving with enthusiasm and a huge smile on her face."Hi sister-in-law!" she chirped."Agatha?" she called in pleasant surprise. "What a pleasant surprise"The younger woman beamed with joy and enveloped her in a hug. She chuckled awkwardly, unsure of where to put her hands.She wasn't used to getting this kind of treatment, especially from his family members. It seemed that from the beginning, everyone

ALINA'S POVHere she was waiting patiently for Micheal's return. She was seated on one of the adjacent cushions watching the show "All American" while Agatha was freshly showered and settled in watching it as well, with a bowl of popcorn in between her folded legs.She breathed out a sigh of relief at the sound of the door opening."What are you doing here Agatha?" he asked as soon as he entered the room. His jacket was slung over his arm and his tie was loosened. He looked stressed.She rushed to his side to take his jacket from him and pulled his tie over his neck. He gave her a grateful smile. She could feel the heat of his sister's hateful stare as she watched from the couch."You guys! Get a room," She said, her face scrunched up with a wealth of disgust. Micheal let out a resigned sigh."Tell me, Agatha, why are you here instead of with your parents? as it should be" he answered."Because I wanted to stay with my brother and sister-in-law, is that so bad?" she quipped stressing

ALINA'S POVFLASHBACK She was feeling her shoulders throb from carrying the weight of Michael's head all night as he lay peacefully. She didn't feel like it was something she needed to complain about. He had needed a shoulder and all she wanted to do at that point was to help. She had been so fearful and worried for her mother-in-law despite what everyone thought. She just had to push aside her fears to provide hope and support for the family. Something she wished someone had done for her when her mother had been first diagnosed. She had had to be strong at that point for both her mother and her. Even though they didn't have the resources for her surgery and had to rely on the over-the-counter medication that would only help with the pain and not solve the main issue, even then, she still had to have faith that everything would work out well. The one thing she dreaded most at that time always was losing her mother suddenly as she had done for her father.Now her priorities had change
