Remember when I said I was going to try to be okay with having a twin sister that they all supposedly thought was a psychopath? Yeah, that. I think it won’t work.No matter how much I was trying to be okay with all this, my heart was just not in place. Somehow I was seeing Frazer in her. And that was something I was trying to run away from. My half brother made me go through hell and I was not going to allow my twin sister to do the same.And I think now because I had kids around the house, I was just trying to be extra careful around the people I allowed in my life.I wasn’t there when both Angel and Jeremiah were growing up. And so wasn’t Joseph. And that was something I was trying to prevent from happening now. I don’t want to be left out as they both grow into teenagers and finally adults. I wanted to be part of their lives.And I was just keeping everyone safe. Yes, they all kept telling me I needed not to do that. That they are adults and they will take care of themselves. But w
“Carl, where the hell were you and why didn’t you tell anyone where you were?” I asked, as he finally showed up in the middle of the night. “I thought Maria gave you a phone for a reason. Why the hell don’t you use it?” I scolded.He just sat on the bed, looking down. He tried looking up at me as I paced up and down the room because I was mad and scared at the same time. He has never gone anyway for so long without telling anyone he was going out.And it was two days, so I started to worry about what might have happened to my son.“Carl, I'm not talking to a wall. Where the hell were you? And you still haven’t even answered me why you took Angela and Jeremiah to fea without letting me know about it. And with knowing all the dangers that place possesses, you still took them there. If my sister was indeed a psychopath, she would have taken them from you just like that. I love you a lot. But the things you do make me upset and I end up saying words I was not supposed to use in the first
“We all love Carl Justine. But the man can be a bit too much. Also, why is he even thinking about that? And why the hell would he even go to the queens for? I think you need to discipline him a little too much than what you did. Grounding him will not do. We have little kids here and they need to be protected at all times,” Maria said as she helped me get read for work.“I know, my love. And I agree with you. Even Carl himself made mention of the fact that we have kids and that is why he doesn’t want me to be messing with the queens again. He said he will deal with this, but I was not going to allow that to happen,” I explained.She walked and got the tie from the bed then put it on me, “but here you are. Been the hero of the game. When will you learn that sometimes you don’t have to get involved? This is not your fight. It’s his. And you need to stop babying him. For his own good,” she said and kissed my cheek.I sighed, remembering how the poor thing looked, “Maria, I had no choice
The entire time at work, my mind was home. That is why sometimes I didn’t even want to come for work because every time my mind was home. Constantly worrying about my family and whatever anyone of them was going through.I didn’t mean to do that, but it just happened that my mind kept thinking about them and there was nothing I could do about it. And here we are right now. My mind is thinking about Carl’s situation and how to better approach it.I love him and want the best for him. And after what has happened to him for the past months, I could see and hear in his voice that the man is broke this time. Ever since Odin told him about his life and everything that has happened with his past girlfriends, this was the last stroke. The queens have done it and I will not let them go with this.Carl often did anything stupid in such situations. And I don’t know what he will do this time. We have been leaving happily for the last few days, he said, and I want that to continue. I don’t want hi
“So, right now you are telling us that our son is not in the house and you have no idea where he is?” Vykalia asked.“Justine, try to explain this very well because I don’t think I’m hearing you properly,” Roland added as they both looked at me.Well, I didn’t even know what to tell them both. I have been explaining to them everything that has been happening with their son for the past months now and they are still in denial.I don’t know if they were really not understanding anything I told them or they were pretending not to understand me. I didn’t even know what to do in the first place. But Maria refused, and I was the only one who knew about Carl leaving apart from her.“Well, what I just told you is what happened. And yeah I have no idea where Carl is right now. I couldn’t stop him, you know. You know how your son is when he needs something or has to do something. He will do it even if you tell him not to. That is just who Carl is,” I explained.They were both quiet, then Vykali
“My love, I prefer I do the talking here please. I know they did something stupid to our son, and you are upset. I’m equally upset, but I might just be a bit in my right mind than you,” he explained as we walked to the palace of the queens.“Even I knew that was a stupid thing to say, Roland,” I whispered as Vykalia turned to her husband.“What do you think will happen if I do the talking? You think I will mess things up like every time, don’t you? I know I wasn’t there for Carl…”“That is…”“What you meant doesn’t really matter right now, Roland. What you said is what matters. You could have thought about everything before telling me. And I’m sorry for not being there for our son. But one thing you said is the truth. I’m not in my right mind and that is why I’m here. And that is what we need right now. If they were in their right minds, they wouldn’t have done what they did to our son. Justine, you are with me on this one right?” She asked as I looked away, trying not to get involved
“So, here is the deal. Right now I have no idea where my son is and that is because of you. Just to make sure you understand why we are here,” she explained to the queens, who were just smiling at us.“You all came here because Carl is missing? Well, we don’t know where he is,” Summer said, looking at her sister and they both nodded to us.“I don’t think you understand what is happening. You self centered bastards used my son to get to Odin. You lied to him that you love him and want to spend the rest of your miserable lives with him and then leave him for the dogs,” she again explained.Roland and I wanted to open us as well, but she gestured for us to stay silent. And I didn’t even argue because I knew I was going to pay for it later. She already told me she will deal with me when we get home and I don’t want to add to the things she has to scold me about.“I don’t want to cause a scene here or ruin this little place of yours. I wonder why his parents even thought it best to bring y
“Odin, why the hell did you think it necessary to tell our son that he will never find love?” Vykalia asked, as Odin served us tea.After we finished up with the queens, we just wanted to make sure other strings are okay if they decide to go against us.Because at this point we didn’t know what they were going to do to us or about the situation that we now face. But there were only two steps they could take from where we left them.They could either do what Vykalia and Roland asked them to, or they could decide to go against that and rain on us. I mean, after the show that both Vykalia and her husband pulled, they must have been pretty pissed. They humiliated them in front of their guards, and there is no greater embarrassment than that to me.So, just to make sure we still had people on our side, we decided to pay Odin a visit and to just let him know what was happening and let him know he should prepare for the worst. But that was what I was here for.Vykalia was here for something
