SEREIAI stood outside of the house, pulling at the strings of my hoodie as I shivered due to the cold night air. It was 3:07 in the morning the street was silent and the only sound that could be heard was the chirping of crickets and the frogs croaking at the nearby lake.I looked around— no sign of Valerian’s driver yet and I clutched my hands together trying to get some warmth. Few minutes later the expensive hum of an SUV filled the street.I let out a sigh of relief as I walked towards the car parked beside the sidewalk.This entire thing felt like a nightmare I couldn’t wait for it to end. My eyes were puffy from lack of sleep, my hair was tossed into a messy bun and I’m pretty sure I was wearing mismatched socks all because my boss decided to be an asshole.The driver exited the car— a middle aged man who I knew as Arthur, I had met him at work one time. He opened the door for me, looking put together in his perfectly pressed suit which only made me feel more like a disaster."

SEREIAI stumbled through the front door of my house at exactly 7:32 am, my legs feeling like they were made of lead.The house was quiet, but the kitchen light was on and I walked towards the sofa and plopped on it not even bothering to take my shoes off.It wasn’t up to a minute of me being on the sofa and Gracie walked into the living room all dressed up with a small travel bag in her hands.You look like you’ve been through hell.” Gracie said as a matter of fact, her face scrunching in pity.“Your grandson is hell, if that’s what you mean.” I mumbled adjusting on the sofa. “Is Liyana ok?” I added looking around the house for her.“She’s fine, I already dropped her off at school. She was a little sad that she didn’t see you this morning tho.” Gracie replied and I nodded with a grateful smile.“Thank you.” I whispered my tone still appreciative.“It’s nothing child.” She said, checking her watch.“Sereia I’m so sorry but I have to go. Remember my friend I told you about. The one tha

SEREIAThe shrill sound of my alarm woke me up this morning— it felt like my head was being hammered with nails and I had to bury my head into my pillow trying to stop the sound.The sound didn’t stop and it felt like it had been ringing for hours. I groggily threw my hands on the nightstand trying to turn it off and I successfully did, that is after knocking over a glass of water."Mommy!! Wake up.” A small voice called as warm hands shook my shoulders forcing me to open my eyes. It was Liyana she stood beside me her does eyes staring in curiosity.She looked disheveled— her hair was a tangled mess, her socks was mismatched but I couldn’t help but smile at my daughters attempt to get ready for school."Mommy, I’m going to be late for school," she whined as she stomped her little feet on the floor.“I’m so sorry baby but mommy is a little bit sick today.” I croaked as I patted her messy curls.Liyana’s eyes grew wide as soon as i said that and with in seconds she started crying. “Are

SEREIAI laid on my bed for what felt like hours as I waited for Valerian to return, the room was quiet with only sound of my thumping heart filling my ears.I decided to stand up and walk around a little and I pushed the duvet off my legs the cold air in the room hugging me immediately, making me shiver. I swung my leg of the bed and as soon as I stepped on the floor it felt like everything was tilting but I didn’t stop. I grabbed the bedpost to stop myself from falling.My head throbbing with every step I took around the room and I began regretting the fact that I stood up, I didn’t even get to make it to my room door, when the door clicked open and Valerian walked into the bedroom— carrying a brown paper bag and a small box probably from the pharmacy.The stopped the moment he saw me standing there, his eyes turning into acold flint. “What did I tell you?” He asked scoldingly and I just stared at him to stunned to speak."I was just... I needed something from the drawer," I lied m

SEREIAWith a sigh as I left his office for the elevator still trying to understand why I was being sent to a garage on my first day back. I didn’t want to argue with him but when I reached the VIP garage and looked around there were no boxes here, no files, nothing!! It was mostly empty just filled with the smell of expensive car wax.I walked towards spot 4A still looking for a crate or a delivery pallet but I didn’t see anything like that. The only thing in that spot was a massive, glossy-black G-wagon.It sat there like the beast that it was— tinted windows gleaming under the fluorescent lights.But there was still no boxes or shipments and so I decided to phone Valerian, I pulled out my phone and dialed his extension and immediately he picked up, I spoke."I'm at the spot," I said when he picked up. "But there's nothing here, Valerian. Just a really big car. Did the delivery guy put it somewhere else?" I questioned still looking around incase I missed anything."Stay there," was
