Naomi paced her room with a glass 🍷 of wine in her hands. She ran her hands nervously through her hair. She was worried and surprised to see her sister here. She was supposed to be happy her sister was back but she had a tense feeling like something bad is about to happen..The news of Valerisa's arrival was broken to her by Mrs Carden, her childhood nanny. She doesn't understand why her father had to treat her like she doesn't exist. He didn't have the time to inform her..She paused to look at herself in the mirror. Seeing Valerisa after four years unnerved her. Not that she isn't happy to see her sister but circumstances surrounding their last meeting warranted the strange feelings, she recalled the day Valerisa left, they had a fight with Valerisa promising to take revenge for her mother's death. .Ever since Valerisa left for university four years ago, she hasn't set her eyes on her..She dropped her glass on the drawer and was adjusting her hair in the mirror when a knock sound
Immediately the MC announced the party was over. Valerisa left for the mansion, she was already tired and restless cause of the witch she saw earlier. She hadn't thought she'd meet her here, ever since she left she hadn't returned cause the house reminds her of her mother. That was the reason why she chose to school in Culcata rather than here in Cali..Valerisa got to the sitting room and met Nanny and Alicia chatting excitedly. They stopped and exchanged looks when they saw her..Valerisa thanked her and headed to her room to have a cigarette while awaiting the call for dinner. She needed something to take her mind off her worries. She took to smoking and drinking in her 1st year in uni when her friends noticed her grief and coaxed her into it..Half an hour later, she heard a knock on the door, she hurriedly emptied the cigar into the ash tray and hid it in the bathroom. It might be Dad. Who knows? She opened the door and gave sigh of relief when she saw Alicia..Valerisa gave her
. Valerisa woke with a throbbing headache. She must have slept for a long time, by the amount 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.

."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.
