I thought about why she had done what she had done to the room. But nothing came to mind about any special occasion. I looked at her for an answer, but she was just looking at me as well. Straight faced.“Aren’t you gone tell me what is going on? Look, I’m sorry I went to Pain and Regret without you. And that I didn’t tell you where I was and I was not picking up my calls. But this looks special. What is the occasion?” I smiled and followed her as she matched to the bed.She was indefinitely mad about everything. I needed to make up for everything. As soon as possible. I mean, I have to tell her about what happened at the company. She will be upset if she finds out from someone else that her grandmother did what she did to me.“Come on Maria. I’m sorry. Tell you what. I will take you there tomorrow if I’m not busy. Will you now speak to me? Please?” I begged.She looked at me. Questionable, “I wanted to do something special for you. Since you have been so busy lately and you have been
As I was walking to the door, I sensed a rather unpleasant scent. But I ignored it for some reason and just walked. But keeping my wizard powers closer just in case this was some crazy crap that might kill me or my family. Revoc was still on the loose.I swan open the door and then found a mail man smiling at me. Was this what they were taught when getting the job? One of the requirements? I mean, every time I’m outside and the mail man finds me, I always see them smiling. Wider that too. But what do I know?“Morning sir,” he said, as he went through his bag. “Sorry for bothering you at this time,” he added.“It’s fine. I was awake even. What do you have for us this morning?” I asked him after seeing he was still looking for whatever he had for me. “And I don’t remember ordering anything. Maybe one of the people inside.”“Some kind of box. I can’t see it. Just give me a few seconds,” he smiled at me, then returned to his searching.“Not to rush you, but your bag is way too small for s
I paced up and down as I looked at Roland, who was sitting on the couch with Carl. Well, I didn’t think him to be involved in this. Not this time. Carl knew a lot about my family than I did myself.But for him to know about me having a half brother was something I don’t think of him to know. Or maybe they told him because they wanted him to keep me safe like the rest.Though only Roland might know the whole thing. I looked at them both, but they said nothing to me. I have been asking Roland about him, knowing my brother existing, but he has been saying he knows nothing about him.What are the odds that my parents said nothing to him about this? Did he even tell mother about him having a son somewhere else? Did he even know this child existed?Frazer’s mother might have said nothing to father and yet told the man that his father left him. Make him hurt father and in turn he hurt me as well because in his eyes I took the old man from him.Maria and the rest just sat quietly. Watching me
I looked from one to the other, but their facial expression gave me nothing that will help me figure what the hell was going on here. What the hell might have happened for Roland to be scared of Dream and why she said it was a learning experience for her?They were also silent, like they knew it was killing me inside to find out what happened between them. But a part of me did not want to know anything about them. Because I had enough on my plate and I needed to attend to them as soon as possible. Mostly the grandmother situation. That old woman played her cards very nicely, and I was stupid to think otherwise. I was not going to allow her to win this game of ours.“Dream, you said you were going to help me with the grandmother's situation. And I expect you to do just that. Whatever the hell happened between you two, keep it to yourselves. Does it involve me?” I asked, keeping my options open if I was somewhat involved.She smiled but made me realize I was not to boss her around. She
We all sat in the living room for a while. Me trying my level best to reason with her and to make her understand Revoc was only trying to use her, and that was that. He will leave her when he gets what he wants. Which is to hurt me and nothing more.Mother-in-law and father-in-law also tried to help me with convincing her about what I was saying by the old woman was hell bent ongoing with Revoc.At some point, I thought the woman was under a spell or something. That Revoc used foe magic on her. But I sensed nothing about the magic in her. I guess all he had to do was tell her he loves her and he will spend the rest of his life with her.Desperation does indeed kill.“Listen grandmother, I know you and I don’t see eye to eye. But I’m telling you, my cousin is only using you. He hurts me enough to do about anything. Even if sleeping with you. For luck of better terms,” I added after seeing her expression, but went on. “I didn’t mean to do what I did to your company. I didn’t want to do
I looked at Frazer, and his face was filled with nothing but rage. Looking at me mercilessly. Earlier he was smiling and now this. I knew the smile was psychopathic, but this level he was at now was not okay.And to top it off, Carl and Joseph were still inside.“I thought I was clear about the time we were supposed to meet. And the place,” he spoke, walking towards us.I walked in front and moved both Carl and Joseph to the back.“I’m sorry about that. I was caught up somewhere. My in-laws can be a bit of a handful at times,” I smiled, then carried on. “We can proceed to the meeting place, shall we?” I gestured upstairs since it was the only way to the reverie.But he stood still. Still looking at me with dark eyes. Knowing how things have been with me and Revoc, I knew he wasn’t going to allow things to go easy.First, I was late for our meeting and now I allowed my family members to be present.Dammit.“Why are they here? I thought it was just going to be the two of us. You wanted
We sat at the round table for almost thirty minutes as we finally got on board. I tried to make sure this all thing goes my way. Because he was not here to play and he made sure I understood that. And if I allow him to take this as his plan, then not only will Revoc be the one getting hurt, but me and my family at large in the process.But even though my plan was to make him understand what was going on, he was still adamant about him taking the lead. And he constantly kept on reminding me that I was still was his enemy and there was nothing that will change that.I didn’t even want to press on that. Because truth be told, even though I wanted to patch things up with him, part of me still didn’t want him in my life. Having to share the little I have. Even though I didn’t want to allow that part of me to get over my feelings.Because he was still my brother and nothing will change that. And if he is on my side, then maybe I will spend less time on fighting. Maybe he might even help me
After some time, we finally finished talking. I told Frazer to help me with Revoc as soon as possible. But also tried to make it more clear that he will walk away with not everything he desired.I mean, me telling him he was going to get everything he wanted was me lying to him. Because deep down I knew I never wanted to give up what I have now. I’m not willing to share them with anyone.But for peace’s sake, I agreed to some of his demands for him to help me get Revoc out of my hair.“As I said before, I really wish we could have met in a different scenario than this. Us trying to fight things off because of money. I wish father didn’t leave you and that we got to know each other better. But such is life,” I spoke as I walked him to the door.“I don’t think it would have been possible either ways. I mean, we would have been trying to impress father and see who does it better so that he get more shares than the other. So, in one way or the other, life would have brought us here. And w
