“shame on you Hensley." That was the last word I said. I took my bath and before I went to sleep I layed awake thinking of Darwin and then Alaye. Somehow, life started to seem meaningless. So yes, I fell asleep thinking of how meaningless life was.I woke up and I found Hensley sitting on the couch downstairs. He was eating pancakes. I didn't acknowledge his presence, I just walked past him to go outside, I needed to breathe fresh air. I walked around my small garden, I hardly ever took notice of the flowers, they were onlybthere for decor, and in my honest opinion, they looked too arranged, as if they flowers themselves were fake because of the way they were arranged. I took my mind off the flowers because they had started to make me angry and I placed my mind on the murderer that sat eating pancakes in my living room. I had to be careful around him.I looked at my watch. It was quarter past two. I climbed down from my car and I rang the door bell.Martins pulled open

I heard the word “Traitor." It was Hensley, then I heard the gunshot. I sat on my couch waiting, I was certain it was a gunshot.“Mark?, Mark, c'mon talk to me, Mark!“ I didn't know what I was waiting for, maybe Mark's voice... Anything, even if it was Hensley's voice, I heard nothing then the line went dead. Jesus, did Hensley just murder Mark?.“This mean that you wouldn't even have to go to work anymore, you're now like the megamind of a great legacy.... What's wrong, you look pale, Darwin?." Mandeline was saying coming into the room. " Mandy, someone just killed my cousin. “" What?. “" Yeah and he's coming for me. “" What?. “" Yeah, I have to act fast. “" What are we going to do. “" I like how you said we but, this is my cross to Carry. “" What am I going to do to help."“I have a safe house in Ireland, apparently, they know this house, you are going to go there. “" Jesus, I can't just go to a safe house in Ireland all by myself. “" It's beautiful and it's safe.

I was surprised that he knew my name. I walked up to him.“Yes?."" Go on a date with me, would you?.“I was dumbfounded." But it's raining. ““My name is Anderson Cooper." He said. We were driving towards the restaurant. His car was parked just right in front of the diner's door. When I saw it, I understood why he left when I went to get him his chips. He went to bring his car closer so I wouldn't walk in the rain. It left my cheek burning a little as I thought about it.“That's a nice name." I told him. " How did you know my name?. “ I asked him.“ My friends call you Alice. You talk to them, I always wondered why you never talked to me. “" I don't talk to them, I just ask them what they wanted to have. “" Are you always like that?. “ He asked politely, he talked the way rich people talked and I didn't just mean rich, I meant wealthy people. Like those people that have been bred properly, those kind of people that their great-grandparents passed down riches unto them, I

Then he disappeared. It was as if he never existed. He didn't come by the diner, but his friends did. I wondered when he would come so I would talk to him, tell him I needed some money. I looked forward to seeing him walk into the diner like he did every other day in the past, but he didn't walk through the door, I kept my heads up every time someone came through, but I didn't see him. I was devastated, where was I meant to look for him. I watched my bump grow, even my boss looked at me with pity, I was fucked and I knew it, it almost made me go crazy, just the thought. An evening came, I couldn't hold it in no more, I asked them about him. His friends. “Hi, Good evening." I said serving them their food. “Hey Alice." Just one said. They seemed to loose interest in me since they saw my belly. Not that it was obvious, I was just three weeks pregnant. But formerly I had a very flat belly. “I haven't seen Anderson for a long time now, hope he's good."“Why did you

After I was told that Anderson had left me. I came up with some money to have an abortion. It was going to be flawless they said. It would go by smoothly and you would go back to living your normal life. Of course I wanted to go back to living my normal life, I wanted it more than I wanted to breathe. So I had the abortion and they were right, everything turned out fine. I found a new job as a secretary in a small private firm, my pay was good and I couldn't ask for anything more. I got married and for some few years I and my husband tried to have kids.... Only to find out that I couldn't bear children any more. The abortion I once had, crippled my ability to have children. My husband, couldn't take the news.So he left, he left me.

Then I fed him. I fed him and I fed myself. He needed to fit my description, leader at a top firm. I needed to look well taken care of. We needed to look as if we didn't come begging, no, we were here to take from not to ask from. Then the time was right, we planned for a year, then the time was finally right and we went and God did they fall for it. Everything fucking went as planned. Nobody suspected anything. Then their son, I took pity on him, truly I didn't want to hurt him, I just wanted vegeance, vengeance for what had happened to me years ago. If I never had an abortion, I doubt that my boy wouldn't look like Darwinson. They would have been brothers, from different mother's but brothers nevertheless. But, he got written off the will by his own father. Jesus, Anderson didn't have a heart.Then he left, for a long time I never saw him, for months. I prayed that nothing bad had befallen him. He was a beautiful boy, the most handsome face I very s

I drove up the hill. Deja Vu hit me, I remembered some months ago I was driving up this same hill to meet my parents, to them I was their little Darwin. The Darwin that they played little attention to, the Darwin that they showed no love till he was grown enough to not be cheated. They little Darwin they payed had no interest in till he was old enough to run the business, they always thought of themselves. They were that greedy and treacherous.How the actual fuck did the two of them give birth to me. My mother would always tell me to get a wife, get a wife and get a life. She didn't want to know how my relationships were going, she didn't want to know if I had a hard time finding love, she just wanted that I have a wife. It got me thinking, if Henskey had never showed up, I wouldn't have very woken up, I would have never gotten free from the grip of my parents. Mark who was my friend and my cousin and my business partner and a very good spy, the best actually and a ve

“Mandeline?." I said and then the line went dead. Jesus...My legs couldn't hold me, I sat down on my couch. Jesus, who were these people... I didn't want to get my mind all worked up. I trust Mandeline, I trust my family even though I didn't like them but there was a new case at hand no matter how much I tried to cover it up, there was a new case. How did Mandeline know who Mark was... How did she know his name and the way she called it as if she's been calling it a long time now.... Then my mind went back to previous times, the time Mark had called me to tell me that he knew where I lived, he knew my company, he said he knew a lot of things about me and just that day he died he called me to tell me congratulations.... Mandeline was the only person I told about the companies.... Mandeline was the only person that was so close to me. I remember the times when I was little that people would fake love just to get to me, just to get money from me, just to get information, they c
