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.

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.

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

“tell me you're lying Adrian."“I'm serious mate."“Adrian, I'll talk to you in a bit."“Okay, bye." I was standing but I didn't know when I had gotten up from my bed. I was wide awake, and I was damn surprised. There were no words in my mouth, there was not a way I could explain how I felt. How it felt to be lied to and cheated. I felt naive and foolish and used.“Hello, Daniel. “" Good evening, who's speaking. “" It's me Darwin Anderson. “" Oh, Mr Darwin, what a pleasure to have you on the call sir. “" Thanks, I remember you solved a case for my friend, Charles.

“He needs someone to work as his house keeper."" Then what?. “" Jesus, Mark you're supposed to be the smart one, how come you're not picking up on this fast?. “" You can as well tell me and stop beating about the bush. “" If we get a housekeeper, means that we could get a housekeeper of our choice, means that she could steal from him that way. ““So he wants her now?." “He doesn't like to be kept waiting, I told him that I would get back to him."“Well, do you have someone?." “Yeah, I do.

So he could drink from her image. Then she saw Adrian and knew that her world was over, or so she thought.“Mark, something bad has happened."“What?."“I saw Adrian in Darwin's office, he

It was cold. That was my first thought. I had woken up with a proper hangover. The phone was ringing, I didn't know what to focus on, I didn't know if I should focus on my freezing feet, my migraine or my ringing phone. But, I picked up the phone nevertheless and I saw it was Mandeline calling me. I picked up the phone and I tried to sound active, I didn't want to sound as if I was just waking up.“Hello, Madeline how are you doing?."“I'm sorry, did I wake you, it's the time difference, it's crazy." I tried to make my voice sound alert but it sounded the opposite, I still felt drowsy." Yeah, the time difference is crazy, I'm coming straight to Ireland.
