"You are where?" Sasha screams into the phone, her voice peeking out of the phone.
"Police station Sasha," Marlin snorts, "and will you quit screaming in my ears? My ear buds are bleeding at this point,""I am sorry,"she pleads, " but you know you could have just avoided the fight with swh for Pete's sake..I hope you did not injure him,""Are you calling for me or for your delusional man?" He snorts, growing irritated by the mere sound of Sasha's voice."I can't help it,". She sighs into the phone, "but I am still concerned about you tho,""Whatever," he hisses."But why did you get into the fight in the first place?" She probes, still unable to wrap his head around the fact that Marlin had just dropped her off a couple of hours ago only for her to get a call from the police station?"Because...".he trails off, "because I could not hold it in anymore, you know Phoebe refused to see me today? And why because she is begin“Good morning Mrs Dahlia, I hope you were able to get more than enough sleep than I did. To be honest, I didn't sleep a wink, a lot of things kept me awake. “But anyway, I'm alright now and I'm heading home for a shower then I'll return to meet you at the hospital. The lawyer was not able to get me a bail, but he said would try to get me one by eight. I'll be here by then, don't worry. “Oh, I also took care of our call histories and amended it to perfection. If you go through your call log, you might find some text messages and calls missing but don't be alarmed because I hired a tech wizard to take care of it. “I want you to rest well and look beautiful before we continue with our plans or they might suspect you to be guilty and that made you not be able to get any sleep. “I'll call you in a few minutes like I haven't reached out to you before so let us have a casual conversation about Patterson and meet up later at the precinct after
The ball tip down still in his hands as the doctor's hovered over him, Seth knew quite well that he could not afford to sign the document. The document for lease or for the request of a room has to be done with the consent of an actual family member.The cop had already assured him that he definitely was not a member of the Patterson house no matter how hard he forced himself in.Despite the fact that the officer's words had gotten to him, in as much he only spewed facts in his face, he could not still get himself to leave. Because no matter how much he tried to deny it, he had fallen in love with Phoebe and hoped she would try to reciprocate those feelings as well.The sound of the gate followed by the drive in of a car alerted him and he say up in his position and tried to maintain composure.“What is going on here?” Grandma's voice came almost immediately after he placed the unsigned paper on the table, dusting his hands as though dusting off finge
“I am moving in with you whether you like it or not,” Phoebe roared, following Seth through the hallways, ignoring the questioning gaze from the several maids.“Oh suddenly you no longer crave breathing space,” Seth shot back, unable to bear the recurring arguments about moving rooms.He still had not been able to call Mrs Dahlia and Steve and now Phoebe was wanting to move in with him.At this point, the privacy he was talking about was his! But of course he could not say that out loud and make himself a suspect in the Patterson house.“Seth…” she called softly, walking to Meet him, “ we are a new couple and I think we should be around each other,” she explained, reciting the words Claire had told her to say. She had suggested moving In so she can get a glimpse of what Seth's life seemed like because as it stood they were merely two strangers who lived together. And despite the occasional show of affection between them,.she could not
“Mr Rivera,” Dahlia’s soft voice rang out as she struggled to unbolt the door. Seth has opted to go see Dahlia at once since he was already out of the house, making up another excuse was going to be very difficult as Phoebe was already monitoring his movements and surely grandma just has heard of his alleged infidel ways.Plus he has called Dahlia to find out about her health since the day she called in sick.Looking around the entire compound, it was apparent that Dahlia had sent all her maids out on a mini vacation just so they could have the privacy to discuss things thoroughly. They were seated in the yard, by a mini garden as the butterflies flew around in their bright colours, causing the flowers to bloom.“I have been expecting your call, you know,” she shrugged , stretching over and picking up a glass of orange juice that was placed on the table in front of them, “at some point I thought you probably were backing out of the deal,” she add
Everyone fell silent for a second as they tried to process what had just happened. Did Grandma really just speak up for Seth against her own granddaughter? Seth was lost for a second, he knew his wife had been acting strange, as if she was trying to be nicer to Seth but what he hadn't known was that it had gotten to such a level. She shut her up for Seth's sake? “Grandma, what do you mean by that? He did something wrong and you know that too.” She let out a soft chuckle. “Wrong? What wrong did he do? Tell me. He signed the documents so Aidan, your own cousin could get proper care and not die of shock or something and you say he did something wrong “I don't care about the reason he did what he did, you know he shouldn't have signed those papers!” Gloria profusely claimed. “Why? Because he isn't a part of the family? Isn't he your sister's husband? I don't blame you anyway since you don't even care about your own sister.” She said as she folded her arms below her breast. Glori
The weather was cool and pretty much at a soon to be freezing temperature yet Seth seemed to be hot.He wiped off something that trickled down his forehead, maybe sweat, but it turned out he had only imagined it.Normally, he wouldn't be feeling so uncomfortable around his grandmother in law but the way her gaze never left him caused him to feel that way. Why was she looking at him like that? Was she lost in thought? Was she trying to read something off of his face? And most importantly, why was Phoebe taking so long to come out of the hospital when all she needed to do was to invite her sister to join them for breakfast but not to convince him if she said no and was being adamant. “Uhm…” he nervously started. “What do you think is taking her so long to do? I mean I wonder if she is still trying to talk to her sister or she is already eating without us.”“I know right? I wonder too.” She responded in a very plain manner. He no
Adjusting in his position, Seth managed to take a picture of the badge that was resting on the man's waist, before handing the phone over to Gloria.“Here, zoom in on the picture so you can see it clearly,” “It is indeed an officer in the picture,” Gloria exclaimed, squinting her eyes as she examined the picture closely, “he has a badge resting on his belt,” he continued,. before grandma snatched the phone from him.“But what do they want with us?” She inquired, asking no one in particular, “I have no idea,” Seth felt the need to explain, lowering his head, and whispering to them, “I noticed they were following us from the hospital and now their car was packed across the street, as they stared intently at us,”“What do you suggest we do?” Phoebe chimed, her pupils dilating to show the amount of fear that had gripped her. Seth put his cross to her, patting her back lovingly.“Whatever we do now would be deemed suspicious so I gu
"Officers," Seth said, moving to stop the officers from speaking back to Grandma. "Let's not get ahead of ourselves with words." He stated and the younger looking officer from back then cleaned something off his ridiculous looking moustache. He must do that a lot, what with the manner in which he wiped his moustache. The elder police officer then cleared his throat while holding up a file. "So," he said in his gruff and screechy voice. "It says that your family has been going through some domestic fights?" He asked again and grandma rolled her eyes at that. "Oh my God!" She exclaimed with an eye roll. "Who the hell told you that?" She asked with a mean voice, looking at the police officer with an icy glare. "I would advise that you keep quiet ma'am and speak only when you are directly spoken to, and that, only answering the questions you are asked. " The older sheriff responded and Grandma gave another eye roll while Gloria moved uneasily towards her. "Maybe you should let t
