SARAH PIERCEMonday came faster than hoped. Unfortunately, the stress over the weekend was still weighing down my soul. And as usual, my lack of sleep worsened matters.I went to work with that burden, and now that I am done, I’m hoping that sleep is around the corner because my head is now in a space I don’t understand. You know what, I just can’t wait for Raya’s bus to arrive. We’ll lock ourselves in, and I might end up taking an impromptu leave tomorrow to force myself to find the rest I need. Raya might also stay in, or maybe I’ll ask Nathaniel to take her to school since she’s all about being in that learning environment right now. If it were possible to go on Sundays, she would be first in the line. “Hey,” a gentle voice caressed my ears, and I oddly felt a grip around my waist.“Uh…” My eyes, which I wasn’t aware were closing, flung open. “What are you doing?!” I pushed the stranger holding me and staggered backwards. “What do you think you are doing?” I questioned again.“M

SARAH PIERCEAfter hearing all that, I had to find somewhere to sit. But the moment I did, I found it hard to form words because the truth about my father reminded me of my gruelling past. And as I started to replay all the times I managed to push myself to survive, the thought that I suffered through all that because I was not Nolan Pierce’s daughter didn’t sit well with me. I started to reason that there was another purpose behind his wickedness. I should find a day to confront him and find out why he was so terrible to me. But, if he really did all that because he wasn’t my biological father, for the sake of punishing my mother and an innocent me, that would be the worst. It would seriously be the worst.“So,” my brows twitched with great perplexity when I finally broke the long silence and turned to my mother, who was seated next to me, “are you the reason I got that job?” The million thoughts in my head were still racing, so a shaky breath left me. “Did you… Did you ask Vaness

SARAH PIERCEThat response made my soul burn with rage, and I was tempted to grip his collar and spit into his face. But I maintained composure and decided to stay to hear his reason. I just need him to say it right here, to my face. “So, all that shit I went through was because I wasn’t your real daughter?” I asked.“Your smartness is not dead.” His index finger pointed, he nodded, and said, “That’s good.”“That doesn’t make sense,” I called his bullshit. “It doesn’t. I had no business feeling the heat of the crossfire between you and my mother. I was innocent. How could I have known that I was or wasn’t someone’s daughter? So, tell me. Why did I need to feel your hatred?”“Sarah,” he sighed, as if I was tiring him, “listen, you are being too serious about this.”“Was I a means to punish my mother? Huh? Is that it?” I ended up uttering the reason I heard from my mother because my heart was desperate for his answer. “You slapped me unprovoked on several occasions, you stomped on me w

NATHANIEL STORM“Mr. Storm, wait,” Amir stopped me before I could reach the door. “What?” I snapped.“Calling Amaya up here will be better,” he reasoned.However, I wasn’t swayed by that reason. I turned and asked, “Why are you being nice? You do know that this woman’s behaviour tracks, right? She has never hidden how obsessed she is with me, so it makes sense that she sent that package. Now, acting stupidly obsessed in my face is something I can forgive, but extending that stupidity to Sarah, sending her nonsense to threaten her? That’s something I can’t forgive.”“Mr. Storm,” Amir sighed. “I’m not saying that because of her. We have to be quiet about this as much as possible.. If not, we will attract unnecessary noise. Remember, not everyone in this company is faithful.”“True.” The eagerness in my feet reduced, so did the anger in my voice. “If you put it that way, you have a point.” So, I went back to my seat. Once seated, I instructed, “Call her up here. And come with the imag

NATHANIEL STORMWhile I was unsure about telling Sarah about Amaya Sanquez, who should be in interrogation by now, I certainly wasn’t feeling pleased that I would be talking to her about our annulment. But, it is what it is. I must man up and do this. So, after a firm exhale left me, I unlocked the front door and went in. Sarah and Raya were both in the living room, but it seemed like they were asleep. However, when I moved closer, Raya was the only one sleeping. Sarah’s eyes were creepily wide open because, without blinking, she just kept staring at the ceiling.“Uh… Sarah?” I won’t lie, she scares me sometimes. Just calling out her name felt like I was doing something sacred that would ruin me. I can only blame my guilt for that feeling.“Oh,” she sat up, “you are back. How was work?” she strangely asked.“Uhm, fine?”“Good,” she replied with a smile.Why does she seem excited? What is responsible for that excitement? I want to learn it so that my days of pissing her off can fi
