All Chapters of The Raging Storm: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

StormIt’s been almost a week since Dastan left the city and we have hardly spoken, he sent me a text this afternoon letting me know he’s returning home today and wants to have a talk with me which has put my stomach in knots so much that I could hardly focus at work.I will say that I have made a lot of art pieces as well as new designs in the past few days as I needed to occupy my mind so I don’t go crazy from wild thoughts and wondering what this fiancé of mine has been up to and I have not heard a peep from anyone.His mother came over Two days ago to visit, I always do enjoy her company, I am positive her and my mother would hit it off instantly, I went back and overnighted with her so I could visit his grandparents as they told her I’ve been away from them for too long, I gave them each a piece I designed and made, his mother knows of my identity in the art and design world as well as my quiet support to Dastan and his business, she happened to meet me at home sketching and saw

Okay I say and snuggle into his warmth and inhaling his scent, he sets me down on the island and kisses me lightly how about some cocoa? That sounds wonderful, but first I think I should take a shower and get into my pyjamas.Okay, well you go get ready for bed and I’d get the hot cocoa ready thenYes sir!I slide off the counter and make my way up stairs; I happen to pass by one of the keepers hey Ann.Hi StormieJust a quick one please, we are expecting guests for a while from tomorrow, a mother and four-year-old daughter, Dastan want’s one room prepared for them to share, so I was thinking of using the Blossom room for them, as it is one of the bigger bedrooms and has a large enough bed with lost of room for a little one to roll about.Okay, Stormie, I will let the others know, should we get on it right away?No, you can start tomorrow morning, they won’t be about until in the afternoon when Dastan returns.Yes, Ms. Okay I carry on up to our room and strip then head to take a show

When I get home I am relieved to find out Dastan has yet to arrive, Abby has already prepared a meal and the house is spotless, I make a quick run to the guest room and I must say, they really out did themselves with the preparations, I hear his car pull up in the yard as I descend the stairs. Abby stands by the kitchen entrance and the helpers stand in a line, everyone looking polished. We hear Three car doors close and wait a little more before the front door opens and in bursts a little girl, head full of Red curls bouncing as she runs along further into the house. A feminine voice calls out just outside the door Daisy! Slow down and wait for us please! You could hurt yourself and others! A collective gasp is heard through the room and I hear one of the helpers say that-that's impossible, how could it be her? I pretend not to notice as some pass me some pitying glances as Dastan comes through the door with quite a lot of bags in tow followed by Two of our security members also

I personally think that this is a load of crock Mom! How can you say something like that when I know and have seen her unconscious in the hospital for days, covered in bruises Stormie, say something! W-What can I say Mom? In the entire mix right now, I am the one standing on the outside with no history so there is nothing I can contribute, I can only take Dastan at his words, but I thought you’d all be happy to see her as Dastan said you all got along well before? Then and now are two different times my dear, by the way, do your parents know you’re alive? I’ve been trying to find them Mom, once we do I will send for them and share the great news with them and then they can meet their grand daughter I just hope they accept her, you know how they were Dassy How could they not love Daisy? Well given the circumstances of how she came about it may be difficult for them, you know how much they loved me. It’d be okay, if you can love her as unconditionally as you do, they can too, i

I was about to turn from the stairway to head to my office when Mrs. Abbott calls out after meUhm DastanYes Mrs. AbbottYou do recall Stormie having cameras installed around the house, perhaps you can check the security footageAh yes! Thank you! I absolutely forgot we had them now!Goodnight DastanNightI change my heading and reroute for the security wing, I give a quick knock, even though this is my house I still respect peoples space and privacy.Mr. Lemos, what brings you all the way here?Is there a camera in the area by the backdoor? On the inside of the house I meanYes sir there is, is there something in particular you’re looking for? He asks as he turns away from me and begins typing and clicking away on the computer keyboard.I need footage from about an hour or so ago when my family was headed to the back porch, I am trying to clarify an incident that occurred.Alrighty if you can just give me one sec, okay there we go, family is moving to the door, the view is not the
