BRADLEY'S POVI kept calling her number, but she wouldn't pick up her phone. I knew she knew I was the one calling, but why is she suffering? Not only that, but I need to call her again or go find her. This is what I would do now. As I called her the phone vibrated which made me know that it was ringing. I waited for her to pick up the call, but again she didn't answer, so I decided to drop a message for her so she could read it. “Mona I know full well that you are reading this message Immediately the notification came, but it is unclear to me why you are acting this way I really need to have some discussions with you face to face but why did you choose to do this to me, I really need to see you I don't know what is troubling you, but you can share the problem with me remember that a problem shared is a problem solved so just tell me anything, and we can solve it together okay I really know that you are troubled inside, but you are not willing to open up to me, please say something

I think he is distressed about me but what did he want me for I just have to text him. “You keep disturbing me. I wanted to have some time to myself, but your emotional words wouldn't let me be. I just replied to you for a reason. Okay, not there I required you around me. Okay, you Just have to learn to let me be okay. I really require some space for myself.

Bradley was hurried inside that night as he was shivering due to the cold weather. His attempt to enter his room was hindered by a bold and thick voice. "Where do you think you're headed? What's making you rush to enter? What's the genuine matter?Although everything was dark, Bradley was unable to see the person speaking to him. He moved closer to see who he was, but his vision was unable to see the person speaking.I am speaking with you. Why are you approaching me like you don't know who it is or have you become insane? The voice spoke to him. As the voice spoke once more, Bradley knew it was his stepfather. He was unable to act, so he paused and showed reverence to his father. I repeat, where are you coming from? I won't say it again. “E…mm” he was about to stammer because the fear in him wouldn't allow him say anything because he was always afraid of his stepfather anytime he is close to him because of the way he treated him, he didn't have anything to say any more so he had
Secrets and suprisesMONA'S POVI had to sneak in quietly to alert no noise in the peaceful home because I think everyone including my mom would have gone to bed by now. I rushed to go inside my room to have some rest because of the stressful and hard day I have been getting since today. I really need some time to rest my head. As I tried entering inside my room a voice called out my name which sounded like my dad's voice. “Mona, where are you coming from? I looked to the direction the voice called me beside me, and truly it was my dad. “Where are you coming from? He asked again but I was short of words. I didn't know what exactly to say or do, so I had to tell him the truth about where I was. “Dad, I did have a stressful day today considering the matter at hand. In my mom's case I was overthinking and had to go to a cool place to clear my head. You know mother's situation is becoming worse as each day passes by.

When courage meets crueltyBRADLEY'S POVFear was all over me as I heard the voice of my father. I was more afraid because my mother was beside me and I didn't know his next action towards us. I saw his face being frowned and that wouldn't be a good sign.“Well well well I see your both are having a meeting because of wow I see” He said as he came closer to us” The room was silent as he spoke, tension was both in me and my mother’s face because neither of us was expecting that. I never saw him coming. He took a step closer to where me and my mom sat down, his eyes blazing with anger. “And you, you're just as bad”, he said and spat on her. You are always siding with him even if he is bad or wrong, supporting the wrong things he always does. You are the reason he is soft and cold. He shouted at my mother. “Suddenly, my mom stood up. I was surprised by her courage and tried to calm her down, but she forced herself up and talked back at him despite the anger and venom in his face. “Tha

She greeted him but when she was about to leave the room she turned and saw her mother at a corner of the room sitting alone. Likewise, she thought of going to her to embrace her bit on another thought she had to stay away before she could hit her again, then she only had to fade her hands to her. “Father, I am about to go to a friend's place. Okay, I will be back soon, but I am not ready yet. I just came to greet you before I remembered to inform you about where I am about to go,” Mona said in a low voice, allowing her mother not to be aware of it. “Okay, my lovely daughter, but are you rushing?

Secret and suspiciousMONA'S POVMy dad was having an argument with my mom. They almost used their physical ability with both of them, but I had to ignore them because I have something more important to attend to than always getting a heartbreak from my parents. I went into my room and was ready to leave. “Dad, I'm out. I would come home eventually,” I told him, then I Left. My parents are just frustrated. I wished I had money. I would have left them and stayed in another apartment, but everything is too hard for me. Likewise, I would just have patience and wait until everything is okay. Well, the coffee shop isn't too far from my home, but I may spend about twenty minutes or more to get there. “I hope he isn't calling me for an unreasonable thing because I wouldn't waste my time saying rubbish, I would be very annoyed if he called me for nonsense”“But what if it is about relationships like me dating him maybe I would even accept so through him, he can help me out with my finances
Entangled relationshipBRADLEY'S POVI was frightened when I saw Mona text message on my phone asking me to come to a coffee shop. I thought something terrible had happened to her because she sounded like it was earnest because she didn't inform me that you were the one who wanted to see her, so I was so cold. “Yes I had to do it for security purposes, but why did you act like you were about to kill Jim when you saw him because as I looked at your face it looked as if you were angry, so why did you act that way?” Mona asked. “Well, I was just forming it. I was surprised to see my longtime friend. Okay, I am delighted to see him. It has been a while now since we last met each other, so I am very surprised to see him” I said. “Oh so how did you share my contact with him, I mean how since you haven't seen each other for a while?” Mona asked. “Well about that I lied I knew you both were so close I had to use the opportunity to get you because we are really in need of someone who has a
Revelations UnveiledBRADLEY'S POVUnfolding the letter from its envelope, I couldn't believe my eyes.

Uncovering TruthBradley's POVInhaling deeply, I sensed the weight of Mona and Alex's hopeful stares fixated on me. It seemed as though time had momentarily halted in anticipation for my response that would untangle our present predicament."Okay," I started, absentmindedly running my hand through my hair. "I guess it's time for me to give you both an explanation."Mona leaned back in her chair, crossing her arms and maintaining eye contact with me while Alex mimicked her stance, displaying a mix of interest and worry on his expression.I began, "Ava was the one who called. Her father holds a high position as CEO in our city. Our first encounter happened quite unexpectedly. Back when I found myself short on cash to settle my bar bill after assuming otherwise, Ava intervened and covered for me."Surprised, Mona raised her eyebrows and exclaimed, "So now she's asking you out on a date?""I confess," I admitted, "however, it's not as straightforward as one might assume.
