All Chapters of The Sister He Never Chose : Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

SEREIAAs Liyana's giggles faded into the distance I couldn't stop myself and my feet moved before my brain caught up."I'm coming too," I called out, hurrying after them and then Valerian halted at the top of the stairs but he didn’t turn. “That would be unnecessary.” He replied and Liyana immediately chirped while twisting in his arms to look at me. “I want mommy to come! Please!! Mommy needs to see my sparkly shoes.” Liyana said and the tense air at the top of the staircase stretched for a few seconds before Valerian finally gave a single curt nod. “Fine.”It wasn’t warm in anyway neither was it forgiving but we still went anyway and the tense air was carried all the way to the car.The ride was suffocating and I sat in the back seat with Liyana while Valerian sat at the front his eyes fixed on the window and he didn’t even bother to look at me not even once.Liyana chattered happily the entire ride oblivious to the war happening inside the car and when we finally reached the sto

SEREIALucas wasn’t good at this fathering stuff; he pushed Liyana on the swing, but it was too high causing her to grip the chains tightly, her face expressionless."Higher!" he spoke, like he was doing her a favor with a small smile on his face. "You want to go higher?" He asked and Liyana immediately shook her head."Um. No thank you, Sir." Liyana replied and he immediately slowed down the swing, the smile on his face disappearing."Okay. What do you want to play?" He asked trying to lift the mood but Liyana looked like she wanted to be anywhere but here but I couldn’t say or do anything.I didn’t want to be a bad mother."I don't know." She finally said and Lucas released an exhausted sigh."Tag? Hide and seek?" He offered and she looked at the floor before muttering."I like the monkey bars.""Monkey bars. Okay. Show me." Lucas encouraged her immediately and she nodded before running to the monkey bars and he followed her, raising his arms like he was trying to spot her, but she

SEREIAThe car pulled up to the Nethrix building at exactly 7:58 AM and I stared through the tinted windows thinking I would see the reporters but the sidewalk was clear. No cameras.No reporters. Just people walking to work and living their normal lives. But it’s like my body didn’t recognize that, because my palm sweated profusely as I remembered what happened the last time I was here. The swarm of reporters flashed in my mind and it was like their cameras was still being shoved at my face.Sereia! Look here!Did you really kidnap your sister? Their voices played in my head and I had to blink fast to erase the memory."You're clear," Arthur said gently and I nodded at him with a grateful smile. "I'll be here at five-thirty." He added and I nodded once more before grabbing my bag and stepping out of the car.Valerian emerged from the other side of the car not even bothering to look at me or offer any form of reassurance. He just walked toward the entrance of the building and I quickl

My feet didn’t move and even though Lucas had disappeared into the crowd, it’s like my body didn’t recognize it. My heart was still frantically beating against my chest and my hands still shook slightly. I looked around my eyes scanning every face as I waited for him to reappear."Sereia." Gracie's voice reached my ears as she held my arms turning me around to face her. "What is it?" She asked and I just stared at her. I couldn't tell her nor say his name out loud."I just... need a second." I lied but I didn’t have those seconds because parents were flooding towards the lobby and and children began to reappear and I knew somewhere in that, Liyana was waiting for me.I soon forced my legs to move; I needed to find Liyana. ---We later found Liyana near the stage door, she stood there with other tiny dancers— looking disheveled with a crooked crown and loose braids."There she is!" Gracie hurried forward immediately she sighted Liyana as she raised her camera to take pictures. "Liya

SEREIA I woke up to gray light filtering through the curtains and the faint sound of Liyana giggling downstairs and for a moment I just laid there staring at the ceiling as I let the events of yesterday wash over me. The play, Liyana hugging Valerian and of course Lucas. I pushed the thoughts away as I stood up from my bed and went downstairs. ---The kitchen was already filled with noise when I went down stairs. Gracie was at the stove staring up something in the pot while Liyana sat at the table, kicking her feet with a half-eaten piece of toast in her hand. "Mommy!" She yelled immediately I reached downstairs as she waved her toast at me."Today is show-and-tell and I'm bringing my llama!" She added and I smiled at her before responding."That's nice, baby."I walked further into the dining only to find Valerian sitting at his usual spot with his coffee beside him and his tablet in his hand. He looked up at me for a second before he returned back to his tablet. Arthur appeared
