"I don't want to separate them Tom, " Mary cried with red puffy eyes.
"We have to." Came the cold reply. He never really loved this woman. The marriage was planned and he absolutely detested planned marriages.
His parents just wanted their company to be partners and this was the only condition necessary.
"Okay," She replied while placing a kiss on the little bundle in her arms and handing it over.
She knew better than to argue with him on such a matter although she couldn't stand the undescribable pain in her heart at having to separate her twins.
"Where are you going to keep her?" She asked as her milky chocolate brown eyes scanned his tired face.
She truly was a beautiful woman. Her brown eyes shone up at him pleading for an answer. Her silky soft brown skin seemed to glow under the light.
She was no doubt very beautiful but he made a mistake and now he had to fix this because he definitely wasn't ready to raise a family and 'settle down' as his parents always say.
"She'll be safe." He said not really answering her question.
"I asked—"
"She'll be safe okay?!" He raised his voice making her look away.
She didn't get it. He was doing this for both of them. Why couldn't she just get that into her head?
He wasn't surprised though. She was the rich child of Mr. Nyomvi. What else was expected?.
Mr. Nyomvi. That name still made him recoil in disgust. A rich and powerful man by all means. He knew he was nearing his end so why not shove his daughter at him?.
"She'll live with one of our employee in a house of her own." He made eye contact with her and she looked away.
She didn't like the idea of separating her children like this. She didn't know how but she knew they would find each other or maybe not.
She didn't know what to believe anymore. She had always had a fear for the unknown and Mr. Eduardo's son was no different.
She shivered as she remembered that night that changed her life for the worse but there is nothing she regrets after seeing the result. A pair of unusual twins.
A male and female but the male had his father's olive skin and the female had her milky chocolate skin but that didn't change a thing about the love she had for this children.
She had vowed to love and shield them away from the evils of the world. She would never wish what happened to her for another, not even her enemies and that was something.
Too many bad had happened to her in her short life.
Having children at the age of eighteen was never her dream but then again, who was she to talk about dreams? A nobody. That's who.She stared up at the man she was literally sold to. Her father couldn't stand her being happy so he partnered up with a weak company in exchange for a 'union' between the two companies and they ate that lie up.
"I promise you nothing will happen to her." Came his calm voice.
"That's okay," she looked at him from beneath her lashes."I just hope you can keep that promise."

I grabbed a handful of the sodden earth and sniffed it."I don't think ma would've liked to see you do that," Warren objected. I flicked him off and took another huge whiff of the scent.I heard grunting and after a few pants, felt a touch on my shoulder. His straight face came into view and the orange light behind him created a halo around his head. "You ready?""I'm sure this is what ma would've wanted." I breathed in and tried to relax my stiff shoulders when Warren picked up the ceramic vase.After he settled into the same kneeling position beside me and we just sat in silence. My mind strayed and I felt he did the same.I would never get over what she did. Not fully but I had that mutual understanding that she felt she was protecting us anyway she could. Admittedly not the best decision as this is where it had led us to; her on the other side and both of us hurting and shattered.
Wriggling my toes in the wet sand, I smiled up at the sun feeling like a kid at Christmas. My shades flipped over my eyes and I smiled at the redhead beside me. "You know, you don't have to be so grumpy on the beach.""Uh, yes I do," she said. "Someone has to be the adult here."I smirked and wrapped my hands around her, stopping further movement and eliciting a yelp from her. "Oh yeah?""Yeah." She bent her head to the side. An open invitation and how could I resist? I lowered my head and dropped a kiss on the curve where her neck met her shoulder earning a shiver in return."No need to get all touchy, people!" The shout made Val jerk in my grip and our heads collided at the sudden movement. "Let's try to keep what goes on in the bedroom, in the bedroom please!""Yeah, we have children in our midst so keep it light and PG." Devin backed her up and I could hear them snicker behind us.After our initial shyness after the graduation cere
*ONE MONTH LATER*Wild cheers tore through the field and caps flew in the air as our graduating set hugged each other with wide smiles plastered on their faces."Congratulations!" Warren crushed me into a hug threatening to cut off my blood circulation but I wouldn't have it any other way. "Told you we'd make it."The huge eagle of happiness and pure joy in my heart only allowed me to nod, smiling widely. Before I could say, Jack, Val snatched me away from his side and right into her tight hug. "Omg, we made it, Rowa!""Yes." I squealed with her as we both jumped multiple times while holding hands. "Now you can give my baby brother the kiss he's been dying for.""Shhh." She covered my mouth with her hands, her eyes wide. After peering over my shoulder, she tried to conceal the vivid blush on her cheeks. "Remember I'm taking things slow.""Slow, shmlow," I scoffed waving my hand as if throwing the idea away. "It's just one k
Deep and varying shades of the sun set set the dark brown of his eyes off , the warmth of his palm over mine a silent reassurance he didn't plan in going anywhere anytime soon. His silence said it all while he waited for me to sift through and try to solve the puzzle of emotions clashing against each other, demanding my attention in my mind."Who would've guessed it?"Even with my eyes concentrated on the miniature view of the city below us and the cars, lights, people, movements seemed to take slow motions but I knew they hurried but it made no difference from this distance, I noticed his head tip back and he drew in an audible breath.He didn't give me a response, silently urging me to continue. I sigh and found his hand giving it a small squeeze."Who would've thought my creep would turn out to be this annoying being beside me."That drew a silent chuckle from him and he tightened his hold in my hand. "True." He
Glistening and bouncing light off each other, both rectangular caskets stood beside each other. People gathered around a few feet away from them as we all bowed our heads waiting for the Reverend to say the final prayers.My eyes felt ran out of tears as I held unto my new brother's arm like a life line cause I felt the earth would shift from under me if I let go.I just met her and we hadn't even connected the way a mother and daughter should and this happened. Her eyes, similar to mine, shone in my mind as she smiled up, warding off the chill of the world around me."I'm so sorry.""My deepest condolences.""She was such a strong woman, unfortunate really.""Are you sure they're even really twins, what if the boy was adopted?""What an unusual pair."All whispers, good and bad were directed at us even as we paid our homage to our mother. Hard to believe that she really laid insi
Ariana's voice came out loud in the void silence of my room as I searched for the blasted phone with my eyes closed, raining curses on the person calling me at this time of the night."Warren speaking." I rubbed my eyes still facing the ceiling."Hey son, your mother is having an episode of coughing and is spitting out her guts and we're in the way to the hospital right now, please meet us there beca—." He literally yelled threatening to destroy my ear drums while an engine revved in the background followed by coughs."Dario, the road!" Her warning drowned his voice before a the line dropped with silence."Dario!" The phone bug into my face where I breathed down the mouthpiece praying nothing bad had happened.My hands dailed his number again, my fingers slipping in the wet screen from my sweaty palm. Nothing added up. Zhurah coughing and the line cutting off abruptly?
