All Chapters of The Sister He Never Chose : Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

SEREIAI stood outside even though my legs were tired.I told myself I would go back in after five more minutes. I had already told myself that six times.The porch light stayed on. I had turned it on an hour ago so that Lucas wouldn’t have to look for his keys when he came back home. I checked my phone once again.Still nothing.My fingers tightened around it. He used to tell me not to call too much. “You worry for no reason,” he’d always say.I lowered the phone slowly.“He’s just busy,” I whispered.He had been busy the night I asked him to stay home when I was sick too, busy the night I asked if he loved me. He is every time I needed more than he wanted to give.My fingers tightened around it. I didn’t want to call again. I had already called too many times. But I did anyway.The call went straight to voicemail and I could only let out a sigh.“It’s okay,” I whispered to myself. “He’s just busy.”I said it not even believing my own words.Inside, the food sat cold on the table .

The word DIVORCE met my gaze as I walked into the house. My feet stopped at the furry rug that was supposed to be welcoming as my head ran with a million thoughts the most reoccurring one was to turn back and run away.But seeing Lucas standing by the table his gaze hard and then seeing the papers in his hands looking like he had rehearsed this a thousand times. I took a deep breath and stepped closer to him my heart beating against my sternum.“So this is it? I asked my voice coming out shaky Lucas looked at me,not even trying to deny it.“Yes, you heard what she said and this least you could do”He said his gaze fleeting to the door like he wanted to leave as soon as possible.I nodded slowly as I let everything sink in.“I knew she would say this,she always tries to take things away from me.”Lucas frowned at my statement.“She never took anything from you as a matter of fact you took everything away from her.”"Grow up this isn't about your childish jealousy," he added.I let out

SEREIAThe sound of honking cars and chirping birds pulled me out of my peaceful slumber.I cracked my eyes open as they scanned throughout the room trying to find Mr. Rude.His side of his bed was neat and it look like no one had been there.My chest tightened at the possibility that he might have ghosted me.Was the sex bad?Or was he just busy?I thought still feeling like shit because I was ghosted by the guy I hooked up with.I swung my legs off the bed as I stood up, walking towards my dress that was neatly folded— probably by him and hope danced in my chest that maybe he went to get something.But as I stood there for the next two minutes I realized that maybe just maybe Mr rude ghosted me."He didn’t even try to steal from me.” I muttered bitterly as I walked towards the bathroom to freshen up.The bathroom smelt like cheap air freshener and I scrunched my nose walking towards the mirror to see how I looked.I looked like a crazed woman, mascara smudges, swollen eyes, swollen

SEREIAThe first thing I noticed when I walked into the kitchen this morning was the noise. It wasn't just the soft clatter of pots and pans. This was one was loud and busy, I could hear the oil sizzling, lids clanging infact I would have sworn I could heard the oven humming.That's how busy the kitchen was and it wasn’t a normal occurrence since the old woman Gracie always made it her life’s mission to leave early for the bakery. So seeing her standing over the stove, her sleeves rolled up and her face contorted in a serious expression.All but told me that this was serious business.."Why are you cooking so early in the morning?" I asked my face twisted in a frown as I walked towards the kitchen counter to grab a blueberry muffin."Well good morning to you too." Gracie replied sardonically, ignoring my question."Good morning Gracie." I spoke with a smile. "But seriously what is the feast for?" I asked and she scoffed as she turned the meal in the boiling pot."When did it become a

SEREIAMy work days always felt repetitive and today was not going to be different, I laid in bed staring at the ceiling as I contemplated if this was all worth it. The stress from work, the insults and most of all the pay that wasn’t even enough. I had woken up before my alarm,which was nothing new as it had been happening a lot lately, and for the past ten minutes I’ve been staring at my ceiling, thinking.My train of thought was interrupted by my alarm finally ringing and I took that as the cue to get up. I stood up from my bed, walking into the bathroom to freshen up and after I was done I walked to Liyana’s room.Knocking on the door I entered with a small smile. “Good morning love bug.” I said but Liyana just groaned as she rolled around on the bed.“Time for school dear.” I said tapping on her shoulder lightly to wake her up.She groaned. “Mamaaa I don’t want to go to school.”I smiled and shook my head. “Well I don’t want to go to work either baby.”That got her moving.
