of sunlight streaming in through the window. It was already noon. The throbbing in her temples increased as she tried to sit up on the bed. She felt dizzy all over. All her limbs ached as she suffered from fatigue..A knock sounded and the door opened. Valerisa sat up and stared in utter disbelief as her aunt walked in holding a tray. Aunt Hailey was her favorite aunt and Mum's younger sister."How're you doing? Esha". Esha was her middle name and her Aunt loved calling that. Valerisa flinched as the sunlight met her while her aunt was opening the curtains. "I arrived this morning and heard all what happened" she said dropping the tray on the bedside cabinet.."Good morning Aunt. I'm feeling okay now". She mumbled. "Just a little throbbing in my temples" "You don't look it, your eyes are swollen". Valerisa avoided her Aunt's intense gaze. "Have you being crying again?" No response."Alright. Have your breakfast, I'm sure you must be hungry" she gestured to the tray. "I'll go get a pai
."I'm so confused Aunt. How can Naomie do such a thing?" Valerisa sobbed. "Humans are unpredictable dear" I used to blame her for neglecting mum the day she died. If not for her negligence mum would still be alive. Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine that she would do such a thing. How can she? Does she hate mum that much? They had an argument that day before the fire and Naomie had said she hated mum. Valerisa ratted out in one breath.."It's okay, I understand" Valerisa hugged her knees and kept crying. "But I wonder how that video got into your mother's cabinet". Hailey broke the silence. She moved closed to Valerisa wiping her tears away.."I'm worried about dad, he will be so heartbroken" she muttered through tears. "What do we do now?". Valerisa asked, her heart filled with hate. "Report to the police?" "No dear, we won't be able to do that" Hailey said looking dejected.."The doctors said you've gone crazy" Valerisa gasped. "Due to a very traumatic experience you went thro
.Six days later.Cammilo paced the seashore with rage, staring at the roaring waves with anger. A boy ran towards him."S..Sir. We didn't find anything" the boy said trying to catch his breath."Don't you bloody tell me that!" Camillo bursted. "That is the same thing you've been saying for the past six days! How can the body disappear like that?" He yelled running his hands through his hair in frustration. He'd expected the body to be washed to the sea shore. The boy was speechless. Immediately a man came walking to them. Si"Sir, We weren't able to find anything" he said. sai"Don't give me that Frederick! Keep searching!" Camillo yelled."You know I don't take no for an answer" he said."May I ask who the lady is to you" Frederick asked. "I..I just wanted to know sir. T..To be candid. I..I don't think we would be able to locate the body cause there was a storm five days ago" He ratted out in one breath. He was intimidated by the hideous stare Camillo was giving h
A young girl raced down the hill. Trying her best to avoid potholes in the village road. This was a village! And she was tired of the local life. As she walked to the path leading to her home, she noticed a small animal scurry pass her. She screamed in fright and almost immediately a gadfly flew into her face.She ran! She was on her way back from the hospital. She just had her routine checkup with the doctors announcing that she might never regain her memories. She wondered if Mum would have been back from the church. She refused to follow her cause of a church program! "Nina!" she heard someone call her name. She'd gotten to an open field now, few miles from her home.She turned back to see some group of guys walking to her from another path."Ugghh" she rolled her eyes as the tallest of the three ran towards her."Hi Nina" he said. He was handsome though with grey eyes and jet black hair. Bit he was so not her type. A village guy? Nah. She was sure she was from a rich background.

She'd been coming her for more than a week now and still kept being thrown put by either the receptionist, the gateway or some rude girl who she knew was a modern l. She asked to see the owner but wasn't allowed she was sure if she could meet the woman and show her the designs she drew. She'd be impressed enough to give her a seamstress job at least. The horn from a car jolted her back to reality and she saw the blue car she saw three days ago horsing at her and she ran away from the gate to the flowers. The gate opened and tje driver drove into the compound. It was a guy with blonde hair and grey eyes, he looked so handsome with his well shaped chin and alluring lips. Hey! What are you staring at?

He was right after all she's q pauper. She made to leave when another car drove into the compound The gate
Wayne stood up abruptly from his seat. A thought dropped into his head as he was glanced through the huge glass window at his office.If Mathew Moore's name was found in his father's Business Diary, that means Mathew would know something about how the Project ended.Wayne pressed his hand on his chin, his brain racing wildly, mind trying to connect the dots.His study!Mathew Moore's study!He would surely find something there.The last time he saw it open was when Anna was sneaking in there at dawn. She had a suspicious aura about her, but then the issue with his grandfather occurred and he forgot all about it.Wayne pursed his lips hard. Why didn't he think of it since all these while?If Anna Moore had anything to hide, it was right in the study she would hide it.Wayne grabbed his jacket from the rack and strode off into the lift."It was almost closing time at the Kindergarten." Wayne mused as he got behind the wheels of his car.He had to go get his daughter, and then think of h
Wayne's heart slammed ferociously, as the wooden portrait came off completely to reveal a narrow passageway in the wall.What is this?He reached forward to discover a door in there, and pushing it open, it was unlocked.Wayne took one last glance at the portrait of his father and Mathew before stepping in.Whatever was in here, he had to find it out.The place was pitch dark and smelling musty, like an old store room. He had to switch on his flashlight in order to have a look around.He was right. Several old books were piled in one corner of the room covered in dust. A few artifacts by its side.Apart from that, the room was empty.The wall was an old grey, covered in scribbles of markers and signatures that Wayne found very odd.He heard a movement in one side of the room, flashing his light there, he caught sight of a rat running towards a small hole in the wall.There was nothing here.Wayne shook his head, glancing around again. He had a deep pit in his stomach that there was s
