silhouette could be seen from the window of the mansion above.A beautiful sight to behold, looking tender and graceful as always. Her milky skin glistening like pearls, looking out the window was her place of comfort, where she could sigh and worry without being questioned or disturbed.Today was no different, as drops of warm tears cascaded her face, sniffing at each gasp of breath. She didn't believe in fate, deities, or karma but now she affirmed that they were true." why did I have to listen to brother?"," Why did I humiliate and reject him?"," why is life and fate, cruel and unpredictable?",Those were the thoughts running through her mind.Which each passing moment, she felt weak unable to stand, Abigail sat on the floor of her bedroom, weeping bitterly at her and her brother's loss.What transpired was a thing of shame to them." papa must be very disappointed and sad, mommy cried all through as I tried to tuck her in bed and brother James is nowhere to be seen", she mutter
"dad ! dad!! dad!!!" James storm in angrily to his father's study room.He has been fuming in anger ever since he left that announcement party.All his life, he has trained to be the next heir. To be the one to take over from Mr. Xavier but all that has been crashed by that poor thing Alex."Young master, your dad is studying, " His secretary said running after James to stop him from disturbing his dad." let him be, " Mr. Darius said Raising his left hand."dad! do something! do something before things go out of control" James said shouting." Do what? is it about grandpa's decision?" " Yes, I'm the heir, I'm the next Xavier lord, not some cheap wretched boy who came yesterday to spoil everything. I am the heir!""calm down my son, of course, we will take what's us back "" And guess what ? that old man gave him the king's palace" "What!" Mr.Darius stood up immediately."The king's palace? the second most expensive and beautiful building in Xavier's mansion? you mean the king's pal
"Young master, Young master wake up," Hannah said trying to get Alex off the bed. "mm, what's? it's not morning" Alex said rubbing his eyes. " You have to get up, or you will be late," Hannah said. Alex yawned "please just give me ten minutes, mmm" "ten minutes for what?" "To sleep and I promise you, after the ten minutes I will be fully awake" "get up, your grandpa is expecting you and you are already late!" "ugh okay," Alex said stretching his body. "let's go have a warm bath," Hannah said leading Alex to the bathroom. Alex took his bath, brush his teeth, wore a white shirt on a black trousers. He was served hominy grits with a lobster roll. "yummy," Alex said licking his lips. " I want more," he said to one of the maids. "I'm afraid that's all young master, we have to go now!" Mr. Kim said. "uh?, Okay," Alex said sadly. "where are we going?" he asked. "Firstly to your grandfather's mansion, he called for a meeting now we have to hurry or we will be late!" Mr. Kim
Mr. Kim took Alex to the hospital to do the test, at the hospital they met Mrs. Darius."You're here already, “Mr. Kim said not surprised to see Mrs. Darius in the hospital."oh I came for my daughter," Mrs.Darius said nervously."What daughter? I didn't know your daughter was hospitalized, she attended today's meeting""yeah, I noticed she is a little bit moody so I decided to get a medical check-up to know if there is something wrong with her" "mmm impressive" "Okay, then where is she? I don't see her?" "she is inside, doctor and nurses attending to her, room 215, in case you don't believe me you can check yourself ""That's won't be necessary as we are here for something more important""important? what are you doing here with Alex?" "you shouldn't be asking that question because you know we came for a DNA test" "I forgot, silly me" "you forgot?" "yes, I have a lot in my head, especially my daughter's health," she said scratching her head. "my regards to Abigail," Mr. K
Abigail hold onto her cheeks" mum" she cried out.Never has she raised her hands on her. Her mum storms out of the room. Abigail felt so sad "am I being selfish for real?" she ask crying. "what the doctor said, is it true? my family will use me to get what they want?" "no I think, mum is just angry" she wipes her tears. Mr. Kim has been looking for Alex all this while " I only told him to look round the hospital not disappear! where did he go" he sighed. He tried calling him but he left his phone in the car. He ask the nurses if they know the whereabouts of Alex, but none knewAfter searching for about an hour, he retired to a chair to rest, and just then someone tap him on his shoulder. It was Alex. "where have you been? been searching for you!" "I'm sorry, something came up" Alex apologized. "What's more important than you being safe! I told you to look around the hospital not meddling in some business that isn't your problem" "I had to interfere or she will be taken adv
"Abigail!, Abigail!" James storm into Abigail's room shouting. "what's wrong? Why are you screaming my name like that?" "I should have known you are this selfish, how can you do that""I don't understand, what did I do?" "What did you do?" James asked his brow raise in irritation."yes, I'm lost" "Mum told you to do something to help, just help me to be the heir instead you went your way""huh""Mum told you to give the doctor what he wants, isn't it for just a day? Just tell him to have his way so he can fabricate the result but you didn't!" "How dare you say that? don't you care about your sister's dignity?" "What dignity? If it's all those useless boyfriends you hang around with wouldn't you have allowed them to?" "I can't believe you are saying this" tears trickle down her face"you could have done it. It was just for some time, think about it if I become the heir who would enjoy it after me? It's you! you, not even our parents will enjoy what you will enjoy yet just do a s
Abigail has locked herself in her bedroom for days now, she does not even leave her bed, her eyes are swollen from crying.All she does is order the maid to bring her some pizza from the Kitchen while she watches TV and cries, she cannot even muster the appetite for food since her mother tried to sell her to the Doctor as collateral damage for her schemes to manipulate the DNA results of Alex.Anybody working into her room would think she was coming down with a sinus infection or even a worse illness. She was losing so much weight from not eating like those of Victoria's Secret models with anorexia. James is still not talking to her, he keeps finding every excuse in the book to not enter her room, he has taken to drinking and partying ever since learning that she would not go through with their mother's plan of selling her to the Doctor.She has remained at the Xavier's mansion for a whole week, and now she is planning to leave the mansion.Abigail closes the door to her room as the m
Mrs. Darius takes the backpack from her daughter and looks inside it, she sees the clothes stuffed against each other and shoes by the side.She takes them out one by one with a look of disgust on her face, barely holding the clothes as if they were some taboo, or they were smeared with a mixture of blood and feces and had a bad stench."Maria told me you were packing up some clothes into a backpack, don't take me for a fool Abigail Darius, after refusing to play your part in helping your brother take his rightful place as the Grandpa Xavier's successor in the family business, you want to run away, run to where young lady as if you can survive without the family bankrolling your extravagant lifestyle."Abigail drops to the floor and weeps profusely, cussing her mother out. "Language young lady, I am still your mother, hope you haven't forgotten," Says Mrs. Darius. "Maria, my phone," Mrs. Darius says to the old chubby Hispanic maid. The maid obliged and gave Mrs. Darius her cell phon
