Cathy Cole looked at her most favorite photo she shared with her father. She kissed it before carefully putting it down. She carefully slipped from the Mansion without anything with her. The servants has to think she simply went for a walk.“Sorry daddy but this one time I am going to follow my heart.”The house and garden covered in shadowy darkness. The roaring of a motorcycle ended in front of the main door. The silent Cathy stands in front of the upstairs window looking down into the garden but especially at the rider climbing from the motorcycle.Once the mistress of the house vanishes from sight, Cathy turn away from the window, steps out of her clothes, pull on her bathrobe before she quietly open her bedroom door. She walks down the hall towards the only bathroom in this roomy two storey house. Since living here not once did she glimpse the mistress. She knew this was part of their silent agreement while making their final decision about the future.Nevertheless her privacy is
“Joslin, wait.”She turned, facing him. It felt as though she was on the edge of a cliff, about to be pushed.“We could have our past again. Give it a chance, Joslin. We were happy once. We could have it all again.” He reached for her hand. The wedding rings burned his finger.Joslin disentangled her hand from his. She moved bodily a little further away from him, never questioning her behavior but trusting her instinct.“No, we cannot, David.”She turned away, wanting to go back into the house, but David pulled her back roughly against himself; instant, unconcealed anger turning his face red.“You left me with no explanation. Why, Tessa?” he demanded, with growing aggression. It seems as if he cannot control himself now.“You know why. You gave me the reason. Besides, it was time that we separated anyway. In the long run, things would not have worked between us.”“That was your decision, Joslin. Not mine.” He started shaking her.“Let me go, David.” She knows only a call or scream fro
“Daniel Ricardo…why did you come to me in this manner?” Eliza Markovich carefully placed her pistol on the table between them. She knows she was being foolish but this was an action of trust. She is curious about the man.“I have a question I have been wondering for years. I just tried to kill Cathy and my daughter. The rage just suddenly burst from me.”“What makes you think I have the answer?” she narrows her eyes. Her past…Maybe…“Your obsession with her. Talk to me. You can kill me if you want but I want to understand. Who was Cathy Cole to you?”“Yes Daniel…who was she? What price did she made me pay in the end ... I trust my instinct. It is an intricate part of me. I can feel it like an invisible cloth hanging onto my skin, crawling beneath the texture, alerting me to something just not right. However, I didn’t listen…”Daniel sit down across from her.“Want something to drink? I am going to need this opening that door.”“Whatever you have.” He looked around only noticed the mos
Eliza just looked at him. She wasn’t really seeing him. She felt locked in the past. The words keeps spilling over her lips…“I am Eliza, I whispered because it just seems the normal thing to do. I don’t…” she sound very frightened.“Feeling the braver of the two I decide to do the talking. I am Eliza. What’s your name?Again, she looked away from me making me wonder what’s behind the headstone. Her pasty face turns back to me. I…I...err, don’t know. I whispered speaking as one but looking as two persons.”“What do you mean? Instinct made me jumped backwards. I was…there. We pointed somewhere beyond the headstone. I watched us move out of my sight. Frowning, I stepped forward, somewhere in the back of my mind I seem to start to forget I am in a graveyard. My whole focus now seems to follow the girl. I walked passed a couple of headstones avoiding eye contact with the crows. Their dark beady eyes follow me. Again, the odd notion appears in my mind that the crows know something, shaking
Leo and Lea managed to escape that castle-like place. They had decided between themselves to leave Bella behind. The girl needed too many explanations where they simply communicate silently with each other. They are young but that place changed them somehow.Both had been running since daylight. Their bodies was burning from the scratch marks inflicted by the cats. When they woke this morning, they knew something was wrong. Since they were in those tunnels the crazy cats scared them. They looked at them like they had opinions.“Lea…”“I am beside you Leo.”“Good we need to hurry.”“I know, that people is crazy.”The two renew their running. Briefly stopping to look back where they came from. The place was covered in mist that looks like creeping clouds. In tune with each other they faced forward.“Leo, can we rest?”“Yes but not for long. We need to find daddy or mommy.”“I know.” She went and sit down beside the tree beside the road. Once sunlight hit their skin, both felt like purri
"Please take a seat Denver."He stood a moment just looking at the woman who had given life to him. He don't even know her."Why did you bring me here? That man Grant Wilson literally grabbed me.""I told him too. We need to have a serious conversation.""Why here in public?" he pull out the chair. The waiter waiting approach him. "Black coffee with no sugar." he leaned back in the chair. He studies her face but can't see any resemblance to either him or Joslin."I prefer public places. I hope you have the decency not to make a scene with what I am about to tell you."Denver frown wondering what she could have that's this serious. His fingers slipped around his cup looking at her."Where is my father?"" I want to talk with you alone. He raised you but he certainly didn't teach you about the deceptiveness of people and life. That's part of the reason I want to talk with you in private.""Restuarant is hardly private." Daniel sit hidden watching them. He as a powerful business man ha
The knock was short and precise. He looked up sitting back in his chair. Since taking over the Cole Organization; his whole view point and attitude has changed. He does his duty but no one in his family can reach beyond the cold front he has."I am sorry sir." The older woman he has chosen personally as his guard dog in the front office."Martha..." he acknowledged"Two goverment looking men. They don't have an appointment." She stood ramrod straight looking at him. He likes her because she outright told him she once was employed in the military but since losing a leg no one wanted to hire her."I take it the fools insist on seeing me. Let them in.""As you wish sir." She stood aside holding the door opened. She didn't even border to say anything. Her expression of displeasure says it all.Denver watched her. He decided to give her another raise. She even managed to keep his parents at bay. "Denver Ricardo..." The first man asked but in reality already knows. He holds out his badge.
Daniel and Cathy sit looking at each other. Both are tired and hungry but can't do anythinh about it. They have been lock in this basement for sometime."Are you okay?" Daniel asked just to hear his voice."No I am filthy.""Do you know what's going on?"Daniel ignored her tone of voice. "How long have we been here?""Does it matter. It's clear our children don't even border with us. You sure teach them how to be selfish.""Really Cathy. You give our son the company making him powerful. Now you are surprise about his actions.""If you didn't teach him a loser complex this wouldn't have happened. He is intent on destroying the football team.""I would too given the opportunity. You and the chief of police and mayor continues to hide their crimes against women for the greater good. What good? Us just getting rich.""Oh shut up being at two face lair. Tell me where did these idiot capture you...at your whore house." Cathy yelled.Doppelganger Daniel stood in the shadows listening to them b
