THE ONLY HEIR chapter 55
I walked out of the motel and I saw a cab right in front of the motel and it was empty and it was about to leave so I called the driver's attention. I entered into the cab and asked the driver to take me to any motel he knows. The road was busy, there was light traffic, I felt sick of thinking of what Mandeline did to me. I concentrated on the road, at least I tried to but my mind would constantly go to other places. But I didn't judge myself, some few minutes ago I almost got shot. I wondered if Mandeline would have pulled the trigger, the place where she hit me still hurts, badly. My mind constantly went back to the day we had met.She had the most prettiest face I had ever seen and she had the body of a goddess. I remember hiding behind that box that day, watching her come closer. I remember how she had saved me the next day, I remember the days after that. We had gone from one boarding house to another, trying to work our way through life. We were just two

It was a motel. It wasn't classy but it wasn't bad either, it was somewhere in the middle... I was careful, maybe this was a set up. What if Mandeline was with Rosetta here and they were going to shoot me. I didn't know but I was going anyways.I knocked on the door of the room she had told me she was staying and in a very short while the door swung open to reveal Rosetta standing there. She tried to shut the door sharply but she was just too slow. I kicked the door open.“Rosé. I really didn't expect this scene. I remember the first day you came to my house, you were gentle and calm but yesterday when I saw you taking money from my safe, I was totally bewildered because the two types of Rosetta contrasted and there could only be one true Rosetta. Which are you?." I asked her.I went closer to her but I remembered to shut the door, I did, I locked it too.“Darwin I'm sorry." She said trying to feign innocence. “You don't have to be, I only just need a few information f

It was mid afternoon. I didn't have anything to do, I was lonely. I had gone to Ará's house but to my surprise she had moved. Jesus. I was a fool to treat her that way. You only know you love her when you let her go. I didn't know where to find her, I called her but the line wasn't going through, once again we had separated sourly and I didn't know whether or not we were going to meet again but I swear that I would make it up to her if we met again. The weather was cool. I sat in my varanda watching the trees and the sky. Watching Ará's swimming pool that was now dry. I couldn't do anything else. It's been days since Rosetta died. I didn't feel guilt, I just felt empty. I felt empty and sad. The loneliness made everything seems too intense.I knew that I was stable just because of the bliss I felt behind the pain I felt bliss and total serenity because I hadn't ended up with the wrong person. Imagine if I never even found out about Mandeline. I played my life backwarss

It's been two weeks since Mandeline left my house. Thirteen days since Rosetta died. Many people have died, many people I knew; Mark, Alice, Rosetta, even the ones I didn't know Geoffrey that died the day I met him, that man in the bar that died the day I met him and the other one in the parking lot. But, people die... people die everyday, somewhere right now, someone was dying. But the thought didn't make anything better. Although it was logical, I wasn't the ultimate cause of some one's death, they killed themselves indirectly. It's been ten days since my parents called me and since then they haven't reached out to me again. I went to the coffee shop to get my coffee because I was too tired to make one. I felt all the momentum had been sucked away from me and now I was left dry, I didn't feel like myself. I wondered what it was, that I would do so that I would get my peace back. I've tried looking for Mandeline everywhere, I've employed people and still she

“Darwin."It was my dad, my own father was holding a gun to my head. “This is so unbelievable, my own father is pointing a gun at me.“ I was shocked, I could hardly find my voice. I didn't expect it from him but what could I say. " It shouldn't have gotten to this. It wouldn't have gotten to this if you had just cooperated that day and just sent the money. “" My money, I know what to do with my money and what not to do. “" If it weren't for us you would have been peniless. ““I always wonder what you mean by that and still I wonder, till this day what you mean."“Move."“You're not going to shoot me, are you?." I asked him.“Oh, I won't, only if you be a good son and send the money to us, now we're going inside, after you send the money to us, you don't have to bother about seeing us again, we won't bother you. We just need this money as a head start, were expecting more from other sources, Hensley took bullions from us, we just need a few millions from you."" How long have you b

Fourteen days before today. The weather was cool, too cool.I was sitting on the sun lounger but it wasn't noon, it was night and it was cold. I was watching my pool, I just sat there staring at it. I watched how the lights bounced off the water, staining everything else in it's reach. It gave everything around it a gloomy colour, it stole colour from the moon and painted my legs a kind of satin like silver. It could make a good masterpiece. At first my aim was to watch the pool, they said it relaxed the mind and reduced stress, but my mind couldn't help but think. I kept thinking of Darwinson. Then a tear escaped my eyes.I cleaned it violently. I couldn't keep crying over Darwin, I've been crying since what happened this afternoon.“He said he loved that girl." I said to myself. I looked up at his house, I could see his window, it was shut and his room was dark. Was he in that house? He's been going in and out of the house, ever since the pretty girl cam

“it would be good to find love, wouldn't it be?."“Yeah but not unreciprocated love, the kind of love that exists in both parties, that kind of love would be good."“Yeah, it would be something that I could dream of all day. I would be blessed to finally fall in love."“Have you ever been in love before?."“No, not once."“Why?."“I would say I didn't have the time to love I had focus on building a good life for my partner and I didn't want my kids to suffer what I had suffered."“That's sweet."“Thank you."“It's funny that I don't know your name and I feel that were friends already."“Yes, we're friends, tell me your name first and then I'll tell you mine." " My name's Ará. “" No last name?. “" I prefer not to use it, I prefer not to mention it at all I just go with Ará.“" You have a beautiful name. “" It's french and it's pronounced Ay-ray, it's funny cause it's only a three later word. “ I watched him laugh, he had a charming laugh, he was sweeping me off my feet already.“wha

Two months later. It's been two months since the arrest of my dad, it's been two months and a lot of things have changed. “We've found her sir." " Tell me you're joking Daniel. “ I said, hearing the desperation and surprise in my own voice. " I wish I could but I'm serious, we've found her. “ Daniel sounded more happier than me. " That's great news. “" She's going to be meeting with a certain Sir Edwards at a hotel in Los Angeles. She was hard to find but we found her, sir we did it. ““Good job Daniel, good job."“Thank you."“We missed Hensley two months ago when he came to London but I swear we'll get him, when is she meeting with the man?."" Tomorrow's evening, I'll send you all the necessary and even the unnecessary details. You can get to Los Angeles before mid afternoon tomorrow, can't you?. “" I can. “" We'll get Hensley sooner than we expect. ““I trust that would happen." When night came I went to bed feeling very happy.When I slept I had a dream; I was
