"Grandma, what you did was not cool,” Phoebe cried, shutting the door behind her as she stormed inside the house. The light from the TV is the only source of lighting in the dimly lit living room.
Her grandma's loud cackle filled the entire room as she fed her eyes with the characters and drama displayed on television.“And what did I do, my dear?” She inquired, craning her neck in the direction of a very annoyed Phoebe.“Leaving Seth to tend to Aidan all alone,” she flared, her chest heaving up and down as she spoke while her grandma watched in sheer amusement. “Grandma, you embarrassed him by making a scene at your arrival in the reception.”"Oh, please,” she chuckled softly, returning her eyes to the television in front of her. “You are overthinking the entire thing.”"No, I am not grandma,” she insisted, trudging towards the center of the living room,. obstructing her view. “I know it's not just in my head; you purposely embarrassed GThe drive from the hospital to their home was definitely not going to be a long one, but Grandma had insisted on sleeping in a whole new place. Phoebe was forced to rent two separate rooms, one for her grandma and the other for herself and Gloria. After a quick shower, she slumped into bed and hoped for sleep to come and take over, but nothing came. She tossed and turned around in bed, and as soft and comfortable as the bed was, she found it very, very impossible to fall asleep. Perhaps the little sleep she had at the hospital was the cause of her wide open eyes, or maybe it was because she was worried and afraid. She knew that her family was far from friends and not to talk about being a good family to each other, but she never expected murder to be the next thing on their minds. Why would they even try to kill Aidan, of all people? Was she going to be the next target? She was the new CEO after all. Should she be expe
Almost as if she was being controlled by the time or like her life had been connected to it through an invisible strand. As the hour struck eight exactly, Phoebe sat up in bed with a tired yawn. Her grandmother had already gotten out of bed as she looked to her side and found that she was alone on it. It took a second for her brain ro start working properly and when it did, “oh sh*t!” She exclaimed as she jumped out of bed. Throwing on her clothes, she ran to the living room but found no one there. “Mom? Mom!” She called out as she hurriedly put herself together. “She isn't here.” She muttered to herself. “Right! Gloria's room!” She spoke loudly to herself almost as if she was having a conversation with someone else. The door pushed open as she hurried out of her suite and she slammed it behind her before hurrying to Gloria's suite. Luck seemed to be on her side as she hurried down the hallway and almost bumped into her mother from the way she hurried. “Dear goodness child!” gr
“Are you watching him?” Marlin inquired, swirling the bottle of beer he was holding in his palm, getting to partner with Sasha has been the easiest since they both had one goal, which was to make sure the marriage between Seth and Phoebe was divorced and they both go their separate ways.“Affirmative,” Sasha nodes, her eyes not leaving the computer screen. , She had visited Seth this morning with two objectives in mind… one was to let him know that she was even more caring than he supposed wife, and another was so she could plant the camera in his room and over see everything that is going on… hopefully even his nakedness.“What is going on with him?” Marlin inquires, pulling her out if her fantasies and back to reality.. he has been obsessed with Phoebe for the longest time now and even though Phoebe we fully aware of this, she somehow still picked that lowly Seth over him, now it hurts him even more to see that the relationship between the both might actually be
Seth's car took a sharp turn to the left and headed down the street, parking in front of the supermarket, as Seth alighted as headed into the supermarket, tucking his phone away in his pocket.Marlin and Sasha's car was parked a few rows away from him as they observed him from a distance."Damn," Marlin cursed, slamming his hand into the steering wheel, "the mother fucker is headed towards the grocery store," he sneered, narrowing his eyes as he glared at Seth in disgust."Do you think he would get me something," Sasha smiled, flickering her eyes dreamily. She imagined how he would look, walking through the aisles, picking out stuff and tossing them in the shopping cart."Quit being delusional," Marlin snapped, feeling even more enraged with her display of stupidity, " was he really on the call because he wanted to get groceries?' he mused, talking more to himself than to Sasha who was seated on the passenger seat next to him."Maybe he w
"Um hi," Seth greets bumping into Sasha at the supermarket."Hi, Seth," she smiles, " you came to the supermarket,?" She adds craning her neck to peek into his shopping bag."Yes I did, I wanted to pick a few things here," he explains, "you are here as well?'"Yeah, as you can see, I just went clothes shopping," she trails off, raising her bag to his eye level, " I am running out of casual wears you see,""Oh that is nice," he states simply, "i am sorry I did not get you thank you properly for the clothes and food you brought me""You don't really have to be all too grateful," she corrects, flashing him one of her brightest smiles, "we are friends... are we not?""Of course we are," he nods, not wanting to ruin her mood.'What did you get?" She inquires, hoping to switch the subject."A few canned food so I can eat them for a couple days,""Say what..." She trails off, " I will cook you food and bring i
"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
