^^GRAHAM’S RESIDENCE ^^
“Where in the world did they go to?!” Marther asked no one in particular.
She’s been looking for both Brielle and Avery, but can’t find them anywhere.
She’s looking for Brielle especially, cos she hasn’t scolded and insulted well enough today.
Stupid!
“I’ve warned that daughter of mine to stop being nice to that girl,but she’ll never listen. She doesn’t listen to me at all.
“I can see how much she has bewitched my daughter. But I’m plucking off those wings of hers that she thinks she has gotten.
“I am going to tell her today,whether Avery likes it or not.
“She must leave this house,I want to have peace in my house.
“Brielle this,Brielle that,all the time.
My own daughter doesn’t even love me,she loves that witch more than her own mother” Marther laughed, shaking her head briskly, whilst letting out hisses.
“I am telling her that she’s a witch, she lost her memory, and she’s not ours.
“I am telling her that she had an accident and lost her memory.
I don’t care, wh@tëver is going to happen to her,should happen.
“If she wants to run màd, let her run màd for all I care.
“Haven’t we done enough for her,she must leave,and that is happening today!” Marther continued to blab.
^^POLICE DEPARTMENT>>MELROSE CITY
A group of criminals can be seen inside a cell. The dangerous looking ones who try to make others cower in fear,the timid ones who just bow for the intimidating ones,cos if not,beatings will be the other of the day.
The place is so smelly and messy,one could hardly breath.
And inside this cell,Lira and Spencer can be seen,seated at a corner,a bit far from the others.
Of course,they are putting on their prison uniforms.
Spencer is seated,hugging his legs to himself like a chicken that was beáten by the rain,and surprisingly,he’s shedding tears.
Total failure and regrets are what he’s been feeding himself with,these days.
“This wasn’t what I envisaged for myself” He lowly said.
That has been his anthem since the day they were brought to prison.
He’s been wishing time could go back,so he could mend his ways and do the right things.
“He was always there to help whenever I needed help. I don’t know what I was thinking” He said,and Lira rolled eyes,hissing loudly.
“I told you to stop being a chicken,but you never listened. It’s because of you we are here,stupíd føol!
Just stop talking,your mouth stinks!” Lira spat,and the next thing that she received was a hard slap on the face.
Spencer slàpped her.
“I think I have kept quiet for too long” He glared dangerously.
“How dare you slàp me?!” Lira barked,throwing a punch at him.
In no time,the entire cell was in complete chaos,as other criminals joined in the fight.
With drops of blòod flying at every corner. Lira was bàdly injured in the process,and so was Spencer.
That’s what happens every single day.
Fights!
“They are fighting again” An Officer said to the other.
“Let them have fun” Another one replied,hissing.
^^KLEIN’S WINERY COMPANY^^
“Please go back to your duty post,and face your work.
“Your job is to look after the gate,not go on errands” Ryan said to the security guard.
He was walking around,and checking up on every worker, to be sure they are doing their work.
“Yes,sir. I’m sorry” The guy said,bowing.
Ryan breathed out,then left to his Office afterwards.
He went to his computer immediately he entered,to check and reply all the Company’s emails he has not replied to.
“What the…!” He exclaimed when he opened the first one. His eyes wide open,with a big smile spread all over his face.
“Oh my gawd!! Boss will be so d@mn happy!” He said,making silly dance moves,as his heart swims in a pool of happiness.
^^ANN’S LUXURY WEARS^^
“Dad….it’s Brielle….that’s my sister! It’s Brielle my sister!” Annika cried louder.
On hearing that,Brielle became totally confused.
Sister? Wait,how in the world does Annika know her name,and she doesn’t? She hasn’t even met her before,so how come?
These are all the thoughts,running through Brielle’s mind,her heart beating so fast in both fear and confusion.
“Wait,wait,wait. My darling,is this your sister whom you said dì….dìed in a car accident?” Janice stuttered,as she stepped forward,asking. With visible shock written all over her face.
“That’s my sister,that’s Brielle my baby sister” Annika kept repeating the words.
While everyone was shocked that Brielle is not déad,Verity wasn’t really shocked.
Like,she isn’t shocked to know that Brielle is Annika’s sister.
She has known this all along,though,she wasn’t so certain about this.
If you can clearly remember the first day Verity met Brielle and kept staring at her intently,back at Jay’s Boutique,now(ANN’S LUXURY WEARS)where Brielle used to work.
And when Brielle asked why the intent stare,then Verity replied,saying she looks so much like her big sister.
Annika is actually the big sister she was referring to.
Verity had been wanting to tell Annika about it,but then,what if she reminds her of her dèad sister,give her high hopes that her sister is alive and living somewhere. Then,at the end,Brielle turns out not to be her sister,it’s just the resemblance.
God creates two people in this world,they say.
So,it’d really hurt Annika’s feelings if it turned out that way. That’s why she decided not to,even Dexter,she couldn’t tell him about it.
She decides to make friends with Brielle instead,though they ended up as best friends now.
Verity knew a day like this would come,when Annika will get to meet Brielle herself,one on one.
And now that that has happened,she’s the happiest girl on earth,knowing that her best friend is actually Annika’s sister,just the way she thought.
“Brielle,you’re alive. It’s really you,but how? We buried you…we buried you and your mother.
“Oh,Lord. That doesn’t even matter anymore,my baby girl is alive”Justin proclaimed joyously. He tried to touch Brielle,but she took two steps back.
“Who are you,and what is it with this dèad,buried and alive thing. What the hell are you talking about?
“Just stop saying it. Verity….? What’s going on,did you invite me here for this?” Brielle almost yelled,but calmed herself down.
“Oh,no! I think….dad…I think she lost her memory” Annika started crying again,slowly.
Jeez! What is it with she and crying easily these days?
Well,the baby has turned her into a cry baby.
“Oh,jeez! The day is finally here to say what we’ve been keeping away from her” Avery muttered inwardly.
“Just stop talking nonsense….stop,stop….stop! I don’t have a memory loss,this is my sister and that’s my dad! Stop saying I lost my memory”Brielle spoke,with her voice raised this time.
“Huh?” Annika and Dexter turned to look at Ian instantly.
“Ian?” Dexter said. He was speechless, cos he couldn’t say anything else apart from that.
“Just stop!” Brielle’s voice came again, as she kept shaking her head vehemently,whilst spoking loudly.
By now,Sana and the rest had joined Annika ,Ian wasn’t left behind.
Sana and Mina still cannot believe who their eyes are seeing.
Same Brielle they cried their eyes out for,is the same person who is standing right in front of them?
Could this be her spirit or what?
But,they wouldn’t be able to see her if she was a ghost,right?
OMG! This is really a miracle,and they can’t wait to know how she survived the accident.
“Avery….dad? Can you tell me what is going on? What are these people saying,what are they talking about?” Brielle faced Ian,asking with all seriousness.
To her,everyone here is talking nonsense and is is crazy.
This is driving her insane!
If no one answers her questions right now,she might just lose it,cos what’s all these.
And to think she came here with the hope of getting a job,but reverse is the case.
If she knew things were going to be like this,there’s no way she would havd come.
Why is everyone talking about her being dèad and alive?
Why does she feel like she’s in another world?
This is so crazy!
“Dad,talk to me!!” Brielle yelled,as she couldn’t hold back the tears anymore.
How could she,when no one is answering any of her questions?
Did they plan all these,or what? Cos she doesn’t seem to undertand anything.
“They are your real family,Brielle. I am not your biological father and neither is Avery your sister,nor your mother,Marther ” Mr. Graham finally spoke,weakening Brielle completely.
“Wh….what? No!” Brielle exclaimed,holding her head that started banging hard instantly.
“I am not your….daughter?” She asked again,turning to look at Avery who nodded her head,meaning,yes.
Seeing that nod from Avery,her tears increased,rushing out incessantly.
They are joking,right? Avery and her dad are just trying to pull her legs!
Wait,she gets it now! No wonder Marther depises her so much. No wonder she h@tës her with her last drop of blood!
“You’ve been lying to me. Avery,Dad….you two have been lying to me!!
“How the hell did I become part of your family? Tell me,and do not hide anything from me!
“You were involved in a terrible accident that occured that day,Brielle” Mr. Graham started.
^^FLASHBACKS^^
It was almost dusk that day when Mr. Graham was returning home,after weeks of not seeing his family.
He boarded a cab,actually. Cos he had no car as at then.
Being someone’s driver,Dexter’s driver to be precise. He only had the chance to go home on weekends,most times,though.
So,he was on his way back from work that fateful evening,passing through the same road a terrific accident occured minutes ago.
With sirens blaring loudly from ambulance that came to take the dead bodies away.
No one involved in that accident survived,their bodies were unrecognizable,even.
You could hardly tell who is who. Yes,it was that horrific.
“Oh my goodness….Lord have mercy!” Mr. Graham exclaimed,asking for mercy,as they got to the bloody and pitiful scene.
People were even crying and wailing in the process.
Mr. Graham kept shaking his head in pity,as he and the driver got back into the cab to leave.
“People’s family, what a pity. I can’t even imagine” He shook his head again.
They had stopped to take a look at the scene.
The cab driver took off,the moment the ignition started, but they did drive for up to a minute, when Mr. Graham caught sight of a figure, lying helplessly almost inside the bush.
It was Brielle’s helpless body that laid there.
It was just few feet away from where the real accident took place.
“Stop, stop,stop the car!” He ordered, and the cab man halted immediately.
They got down, and immediately, he rushed to her and saw blood all over her body.
She had rolled over and over when the car somersaulted, and she finally landed on that place where Ian found her.
She was the only one who was separate from the other.
Her nose,eyes, every part of the body that has a hole,bloòd was rushing out.
But,she was still breathing, although,on the verge of losing it,cos if any more time was wasted, she would have gone.
As fast as they could,Mr. Graham carried Brielle in his arms,and rushed her to the hospital.
^^FEW HOURS LATER^^
After the Doctor had done what he could,he came out of Brielle’s ward,with a not so happy face.
“She’s fine, but in coma. Her condition is very critical,very very critical” The Doctor added,making already troubled Ian more worried.
“She might wake up,and she might not.
And even if she does wake up,she’ll have a temporary memory loss, or a long term memory loss.
All we need to do right now is to pray for her,pray for the best. Because she’s on the bridge between life and dèath” The Doctor said,and Mr. Graham shook his head,disappointedly,already praying in his mind for her to survive.
Brielle was in coma for more than a month, she only ate through pipes, with help from Avery.
She was always there to protect her,praying fervently for her to be alright, even when she knew her not.
She was just a good Samaritan, just like her dad.
So,when Brielle finally came out of coma,she couldn’t even remember who she is.
Not even her name!
The only way they knew what her name is,was through her chain that Annika got for her on her twenty first birthday.
The chain had her name on it,”BRIELLE” boldly written.
That was the only thing they knew about her.
They had to hide everything from her,cos the Doctor instructed them to let Brielle remember everything by herself.
That’s why Avery had bee trying in the best she could,to keep it away from her.
^^FLASHBACK ENDS^^
While Ian narrated all these to everyone, Brielle was crying seriously, her eyes so red.
She wasn’t the only one crying, everyone who could cry was crying.
Like a drunkard, Brielle held her heard and started staggering.
Her head banging harder this time. It’s as though, someone is using a pistol to hit her head.
The headache was so severe that shockingly, she started having vivid images.
^^
~Hey…make sure you bring goodies for me ~
Came Annika’s voice, whispering into Brielle’s ears.
She giggled cutely, and nodded her head,after which she pecked Annika.
~I love you,my Anni K ~
She said to Annika, and she laughed.
That’s the name she calls Annika whenever she feels like teasing or looking for her trouble.
~Drive safe. Be careful with my wife and daughter ~
Came Justin’s voice,telling their driver.
Those images kept coming, there were clearer now,and her head banged harder.
~Mom!….??
~What’s happening? Halt the car!… Halt the d@mn car!!! ~
Came Lydia’s voice, telling the driver to stop the car, but he couldn’t.
~Ma,the breaks aren’t working…
~I think someone tempered with the breaks,they aren’t working!!!
~Ahhh….moooomm!!
Brielle screamed as she saw another car coming to their direction with speed.
The two cars crashed on each it,with each,flying to its own direction.
The image of the car tumbling over and over,until it finally crashed, hit her hard,and….
“Mom….moooom!!!” Brielle screamed out loud,slumping on the ground.
It was as if she was in a trance or something, it was just so crazy.
“Mom….” She cried, and instantly Annika went to her,held and hugged her sister so dearly.
Something she had missed doing to her baby sister so much.
“My BB girl….” Annika called, breaking down into more tears as expected.
BB is what she prefers to call her.
Justin went down to their level,hugging his two daughters like he should just swallow them.
He cannot believe this is happening again. He cannot believe that right now he’s hugging his two daughters to himself, just the way he used to.
He had missed doing this so badly, he had missed seeing her daughter’s face. The cutes faces of her two baby girls.
Oh gawd! Someone should wake him up from this dream,cos he feels like he’s dreaming.
Slowly, Brielle raised her tear stained face to look at her dad.
“D…dad…?” She called. She cupped her dad’s cheeks,staring into his eyes like she’s looking for something she misplaced.
She then turned to Annika, and….
She bursted out crying again,hugging Annika tightly.
“My Anni-K….Anni….” She couldn’t complete it,cries won’t just let her.
