The day happened to be the craziest, apparently. Filled with nothing but drama from everyone around me. But the most important thing right now I wanted to find out what happened to Carl’s parents. Why he thinks they left him behind? That they didn’t love him in any way.Yes, that might be true. They might be shitty parents and we can’t do anything about that. And me finding them and allowing Carl to listen to them telling him that would be a problem on its own. And he might hate me for bringing back what he has long forgotten.But again there is a thing of everything been different from he thinks. Things might not always be what they look like. They might be a different story behind it all. And that story is making me worry at some point. I mean, what if I find out my parents did something insane to get Carl? All because they wanted to keep me safe in the future.So, in all scenarios, they were something threatening coming along with it. But I can’t just stay because I’m scared of wha
“Please take it easy on her. I know what she did was wrong and what she was trying to do is equally wrong. But let’s not forget, she is my grandmother. And I know what she did to Suzen was just proving your point, but take it easy on her,” Maria spoke as she helped me with my tie.I didn’t even know what to tell her, because what I was planning in my head weren’t good things. They all contained things that will hurt me or anyone involved one way or the other, and that was just how things will turn out. I can’t change it.And I know what she has planned for me isn’t good. I can feel something isn’t right. All my secretaries at the wine company told me she was there, and she was causing a scene. That she wanted to speak to me and I should go there. As soon as possible.She even had the audacity to sit in my office. Claiming it to be hers. I don’t know what she wanted from me. But I was surely going to put her in her place. To make sure she goes down this time for good.“You came home no
“What the hell do you think you are doing coming here to my company and causing a scene? Even calling a board meeting. I know you are the grandmother to my wife, but I will forget that. You are sitting in my chair,” I said as I reached her.She looked up at me, then at the surrounding people. Smiling. Then she took a paper from the table and handed it to me. I looked at the paper, then at everyone — they all seemed to have the same one. But none of them was willing to tell me what was going onI looked at the paper and my eyes widened at what was written on it. I shook my head and blinked a couple of times. But it was still there. Smiling back at me.I looked at Mubanga as she walked to me. Then I handed her the papers because I didn’t even know how to better explain what was happening. What was written on it.I looked at everyone, and they all wore sad faces. Looking at me with all the sadness. But she was smiling, and she almost burst out laughing at my paranoid.This has to be a jo
As always, it is an honor meeting someone my parents told to look after me. Someone they might have helped, in a way that the person will do anything they tell him or her to do. That were my parents. And I love them for that.She told me about her. And she was true to her name, as always. She helped with things dream related. But she was on vacation or something like that. Somehow, she knew I will need her. And here she was.Then she told me about how helpful my parents were to her. How they helped her fight someone that wanted her job. Her twin sister Nightmare. And ever since that time, she hasn’t bothered her at all. She has been leaving peacefully, and she owes that to my parents.And something about her caught my attention. The way she was addressing Roland. Like she hurts the man or something. But I wouldn’t be surprised if that is the case even.“You need to go home, Justine. We are closing,” Pain said.After I left the company, I decided to come to them and not go home. I need
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
