Chris walked into the house and stopped when he saw Aria being spoonfed by Kade, his fist clenched watching both of them and pursed his lips. Aria was the first to notice he was back and smiled at him."Welcome back Chris." The tone of her voice gave a cold demeanor that made him feel dejected."What are you two doing?" He cut to the chase and strode towards them collecting the bowl of popcorn in Kade's hand."You didn't have to be such a bummer!" Aria frowned her lips gazing at him in irritation. "We were watching a movie and you just spoilt it for us." She whined."Are you crazy?!" Chris raised his voice in anger grabbing Aria by her wrist which frightened her for a second before she composed herself and struggled to get free from his grasp. "What do you think you're trying to do?" "What am I doing?" She scoffed, staring him straight in the eye, and frowned. "You should be the one asking that question.""Aria…" He sighed staring up at the ceiling in frustration. "Just what do you w
Melissa stopped her car and parked at the corner of the street while putting on her shades and got out of the car. She looked around the area before walking towards the house with a hat on her head to conceal her identity even more.She got to the doorstep when she heard footsteps behind her and instantly turned to see who it was and widened her eyes, she bent her head slightly lower and adjusted her shades."What are you doing here, miss?" The officer asked trying to get a glimpse of her face but she didn't let him."Came to pay a visit to my cousin who lives here, is there an issue?" Melissa asked hoping the officer would leave her alone soon enough."Really? But they aren't home." He eyed her suspiciously and took a few steps closer to her."Well, I do have a spare key…. You see she had told me that she and her husband won't be home." Melissa finally looked up at him with a small smile on her lips. "Is there any other thing you need to know?" She tilted her head to the side while s
Melissa turned on the light and walked into the room which was stuffy and airtight, she took a step out and let air circulate before going in, the place seemed unused as if no one had entered it, and the table and monitors seemed dusty as well. She saw that it was still recording and that gave her hope that she was going to see what had occurred.She searched the files but couldn't find anyone from that day."Could it be that he had erased it?" She thought to herself and frowned, how then was she going to figure it out anyway?"The thought of him not erasing the file and hiding it in another crossed her mind, he could have done that just to divert attention. She patiently checked all the files and an hour later, it was a dead end.She stood up from the chair she sat in and walked out of the room to find something to eat as her stomach growled."It's okay sweetie, mommy is gonna get us something to eat." She mumbled while rubbing her belly which had begun to have a bump although it wa
The man turned around and looked around the room in search of the phone walking closer to the bed, Melissa's heart raced so fast she felt it would jump out of her chest, she could feel her sweat dripping from her face as the heat was killing her although the tiles were cold. The man picked up the phone on the bed and answered the call. "Hello?" There was no response as the call ended and the man walked out of the room closing the door behind. Melissa remained where she was and waited for him to leave the house so that she could do the same. She could tell he was still around with the clamping of his boot on the floor. She wondered who he was and how he was related to Briella, she also wondered why he was searching for Briella. An hour passed and he finally left giving Melissa the courage to do the same, she was careful not to get noticed by anyone and got into her car zooming off without turning back, with the evidence had she would need to do something fast but she couldn't do it
Aria quickly hid and was in shock, her legs had begun to tremble and she didn't expect him to be out at such a time and be in a black disposable suit which increased her suspicions."What the hell is doing?" She thought to herself silently while staring at him ensuring not get caught, she didn't feel safe being in the house anymore and wanted to run away more than anything but first, she wanted to know just what he was up to. She watched him walk towards the garage and she was skeptical to follow him but eventually did, she slowly opened the door ensuring not to make any noise and slowly made her way to the garage hint behind the wall, her heart was beating so fast and her body visibly shaking not from the cold breeze but from the fear of what could happen if he caught her or what she was going to see him hiding."Fucking bitch, you caused this for yourself." She heard Kade huff in annoyance as he opened the boot of one of his cars and stared at a cellophane bag that seemed rather hu
Aria gathered the strength she had and ran as fast as she could up the stairs in time to make it towards the room and shut the door, she was crippled with fear and was sweating profusely as she lay quietly in the bed tucking herself into the duvet and shut her eyes as tightly as she could although she was still visibly shaking.A few minutes later Kade entered the room quietly making his way to the bed making her freeze in fear, he caressed her face and placed a warm kiss on her lips. She turned around to avoid any more advances and he stood up from the bed making his way into the bathroom like nothing happened and took a shower, he wrapped a towel around his waist and walked into the room, Aria put on the lamp beside her making him jump in shock."W- why are you awake?" He looked around nervously and stared back at Aria who gazed at him silently, she was skeptical about saying anything, and at the same time, she wanted to run as far as she could away from him."I noticed you weren't
"Won't it be okay if you invited me in?" Melissa tilted her brows staring at Chris who didn't want her in but had no other option to let her inside."Do you suddenly want to apologize out of the blue?" He tilted his head gazing at her."I have no reason to apologize for anything." She shrugged her shoulders with a smug look on her face, she gently sat on the couch feeling the soft touch with her hand, and turned to Chris. "Have something hot for me to drink?" "Tell me why you're here and leave immediately." He frowned hating her presence already, to think it would be his Aria made him more annoyed."I'll take that as a no." she smiled at him and turned her gaze to the bag. "I have something important to discuss with you." She began."The baby died?" He guessed, her lips parted open and a disappointed gaze shown on her face."Don't flatter yourself, aren't you happy to be a father?" She scoffed trying to hide the sadness she felt by his words."Then why else would you be here?" He til
She didn't have any hope to hold in to mad stood up from the chair about to leave when they both heard the doorbell ring, Chris frowned in frustration wondering who it was this time, he stood up from the couch and made his way to door opening it and stared at the man who looked perplex and at the same time confused."Who are you?" Chris asked scrunching his brows and gazing at him. The man was wearing a black t-shirt and pants with his hair Hung on his shoulders. He was a little paler and had a mole on his face."Are you Mr. Chris?" The man asked ignoring Chris' initial question which annoyed him."Find him at the next house." He shrugged his shoulders and was about to close the door when the man stretched out his hands."Please it's really important that I talk to you." The man pleaded hoping Cnros would be calm and listen to him."I have no idea who you are and I'm asking that you leave quietly right away or you will regret it." Chris threatened he had had enough for the morning."H
