Ashley leaned against the counter in the kitchen, her ears blocked with ear buds, music blasting through them. She took out the cake and placed it on the table“Looks better than I expected”.Carolina had been up in her room all day and when she finally came out, everyone went back to normal“What are you doing?” Carol asked, reaching for a bottle of water“Nothing much” Ashley said and Carolina stepped closer, she sniffed “You smell funny” she said and walked away“You don’t mean I stink right?” she asked. Carol nodded and left.A call came through Ashley’s phone, she stared at the caller ID till it timed out, then she continued her work.Night fell faster than other days then Ashley called Adrian“Come home early, we have somewhere to be” she said“The last time I checked we had nothing to do” he said then heard Justin’s voice“Today’s mummy’s birthday” he said “Never mind, we’ll come over instead” she said and hung up.Ashley went to Carolina and urged her to get dressed“I don’t

Adrian fixed his tie in front of the mirror, set to go out. Last night incident still replaying in his head. He scoffed. His phone buzzed against the table before him, the screen lit with notification from an unknown number.Adrian picked it up and checked it. Some photos were sent.When he clicked it and saw them- he froze for a second. The pictures were familiar, hauntingly familiar. He tried checking the ID but it just wouldn’t show up.A text came in moments later “You’re one secretive man, Moretti”-Adrian dropped the phone, he stared at his reflection for a while before yanking the tie off his neck and tossing it aside.Ashley and Carolina were busy chatting in the living room when Adrian stormed down the stairs. Ashley jumped before him“Where are you going? Didn’t you say you were leaving in an hour time?” she held her arms out. Adrian moved but Ashley stood still “You’re not even wearing a complete suit, do…”Adrian cut in with a sharp hiss“For goodness sake, move” Adri

Carolina was about to leave the horse ranch when the man approached her. Her nose twitched the moment his scent hit her nose “Come by next time” he said “Hm-hm” she hummed before leaving. “He was cute but damn! He really engaged my nose” she got into the car and left to the aquarium. She walked by then bumped in another man with a child “I’m sorry” she picked up the items “It’s nothing, I should have looked” he said and Carolina looked up at him and the little girl with him “Hi” Carolina said to her “You’re pretty” the little girl said. Carolina flushed red immediately “Thank you, what’s your name?” “Celeste” she looked at Carol with her grey eyes. Carolina got up and the man asked “Which way to the orca show?” “I actually don’t know. I was trying to find my way there too but I have to buy tickets too” she said “You can have mine” Celeste said “oh no, I’ll just...” “I don’t like the show, I wanna play there instead” she pointed at the kids’ park.

~Moretti mansion. Night.Carolina leaned against the rails at the outside corridors staring into space.Ashley came around"Are you okay? Why the long face?" Ashley said and pressed some ointment to her finger. She took Carolina's arm and applied some on the bruise"Are you thinking about that jerk again?""No, just that the girls...""I told you not to believe what he tells you. But the good part is, we found out who he truly was" she said.Adrian listened beside the wall."Hmm, he looked normal" carol said"Not everyone that looks fine is fine, carol" she said "You didn't actually love him, did you?" She added"No, I didn't feel anything for him. It was just nice finding someone who had same interest as me" she said"What do you mean? We go out together, don't we?" Ashley pouted "And Justin and Adrian" she added"Forget it, I'm going to bed" she walked away. Ashley followed behind.Adrian laid on his bed wide awake staring at the ceiling.He got up and stood next to his bed, pacing

Carolina’s fingers wrapped tightly around her phone then Adrian stepped out. He saw Carolina glaring into thin air but when he looked, no one was there“Did space suddenly offend you?” he askedCarolina turned to him“No, just came out to look anywhere for Ashley” she glanced around once more before walking past Adrian.She hadn’t gone that far when the straps of her heels snapped, nearly throwing her off her balance.She tucked her hair behind her ear before bending over“This was perfectly fine when I wore it” she mumbled.Adrian sat her down on a nearby seat before getting on a knee before her. He held her leg on his knee“How can you wear something this high?” he took off the heels and examined it“It’s not a problem, I’ve been wearing that before today” she said.Adrian tilted her feet, his eyes caught a fresh bruise behind her heel“Really? you’re not wearing these anymore” he attempted to take off the other oneCarolina refused“I can manage it, it’s nothing” she reached for he
