“Babe what’s wrong.” Caroline ask her boyfriend, sitting up.
 
 
“I don’t know, I just feel so restless. I’ll go check on my mum.” Ethan replies and stands up from the bed and walked over to the bathroom.
 
Caroline folds her hands below her mid-section angrily. She frowns as she waits for Ethan.
 
“Why are you frowning.” Ethan ask the minute he steps out of the bathroom drying his hair with a towel.
 
“Why won’t I, you didn’t even satisfy my urges and now you want to go.” She says frowning the more.
 
“I’m sorry babe but I’ve this strange feeling that things are not okay at home. I need to go.” He explains and put on his clothes quickly.
 
“Babe I’m sure everything is okay. You’re just getting paranoid, and I think I’ve the special medicine for that.” She eyes him sexily from his head to his toe and stands up from the bed. She walks to him, her eyes not leaving his body. Render More Supports To Us By Sharing Out Our Stories To Friends And Medias

“What are you doing.” Ethan questions looking at her weirdly.
 
“What do you think.” She retorts, wrapping her hands around his wet sexy body.
 
She trails her tongue on his body.
 
“Caroline stop. I’m not in the mood for this.” He yells slightly and flings her hand away.
 
“Fine.” She huffs and goes back to sit on the bed with a pout on her face.
 
“I’ll call you okay and don’t forget that I love you, hmph.” Ethan whispers into her ear and pecks her on her cheeks, then kiss her fully on the lips. She did not return it.
 
“Still angry.” Ethan asks, and she rolls her eyes at him.
 
“I promise I’ll make it up to you, okay. Bye love.”
 
 
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
 
Ethan walks into the house, the servants bows greeting him.
 
“Where’s my mum.” Ethan ask randomly to no one in particular.
 
“She’s…. She’s.” A maid he barely knows stutters.
 
“Talk.” He yells getting impatient.
 
“She’s….. She’s…. In the.” She couldn’t speak afraid of the punishment that would
 
be bestowed on her.
 
“What’s your name.” Evan ask, using a different approach.
 
“Camille.” The maid answers meekly.
 
“Okay Camille, if you don’t tell me where my mum is, I’ll definitely lose my cool and you wouldn’t want to find out what will happen next if I do lose my cool so I’ll ask you one more time, where’s my mum.”
 
“She’s… She’s… In the … In the dungeon.”
 
Ethan not waiting a moment longer leaves immediately, with a hammered heart he runs through the spirals of underground stair that leads to the dungeon and the first person he meets is the devil himself, Lucas.
 
“Let me in.” Ethan orders. Lucas stands his ground, not moving from the entrance of the toture room.
 
“I said let me in.” Ethan growls.
 
Lucas seeing the expression on Ethan’s face, makes way for him, he knows Ethan could be really deadly when his angry.
 
 
“Mum.” Ethan cries out on seeing his mum laying on the floor, her body covers with bruise and blood.
 
“Ethan, Ethan is that you.” Martha ask barely opening her eyes. Her eyelids felt heavy.
 
“Yes mum it’s me.” Ethan holds his mum hands and kiss it, tears drops from his eyes.
 
“Ethan he killed her, he bloody killed her.” She yells angrily, her veins pops out.
 
Her heart and body yearns for revenge.
 
“What are you saying mum, who died.”
 
“Your father, that vile man killed Stephanie. He killed her Ethan!!” Ethan’s legs gave way, he falls from his bending position to the floor. The words kept on ringing in his ear. HE KILLED HER.

Time: Can’t state.
 
Location: Playground.
 
Cara’s Pov:
 
I’m in a playground watching my little sis, Stephanie ride the merry go round. That’s her favorite ride. Her sparkly white gown shines, matching her pretty smile. She smiles at me, I smile back. Soon enough she gets tired of the ride and comes down.
 
“Hey kiddy.” I said with a smile on my face and her up into my arms.
 
“I’m no more a kid.” Stephanie whines and pouts.
 
“Yeah, yeah. So tell big sis what you want to do next.”
 
 
“There’s not much to do anymore. Thanks sis for giving me a very special farewell but I’ve got to go now.”
 
“Stephanie don’t be silly. You don’t….” It happened so suddenly one minute
 
cheerful Stephanie was on my arms and the next she’s not.
 
I feel so frightened and shocked, I stare at my empty hands that once had Stephanie in them and I couldn’t process the whole thing, my eyes scan the playground for my little sis, that’s when i noticed all the kids in the playground had their eyes on me, and they are all Stephanie. How is that possible.
 
They all waved at me, repeating just one word. Goodbye I ran towards one of them and then try to grab her, but she disappears. I continued the process till I found out I wasn’t in the playground anymore, I’m now in a long road made with mables.
 
Stephanie stood afar from me, she waved at me whispering the words Goodbye, She turns around and walks away down the road.
 
“Stephanie!!!” I called unto her, begging her to come back. she didn’t. She just kept on walking down the long narrow road, where it leads to I can’t tell.

Location: Henry’s Mansion, Master bedroom.
 
Cara’s Pov:
 
“Stephanie!!!!!!!!!” I yell, waking up abruptly. Beads of sweat trickles down my face. I really can’t explain what’s the meaning of the dream I just had.
 
“Love are you okay. you’re heating up.” Henry utters, checking my temperature.
 
Once i came back from the library, I felt so tired I had to lay down. Though I’m a little bit surprised to see Henry since he said he would be back very late. “What time is it.” I manage to say, my voice sounds so groggy.
 
“12:00pm.” He replies checking his wrist watch. Gosh have I really slept that long.
 
 
“Is it a bad dream.” Henry asked concerned. Duh, isn’t that obvious but I nod regardless.
 
Suddenly my phone rings and i stretch my hand and picked it up from the bed side drawer. It’s Ethan.
 
“Hey bro.” I chirp into the phone.
 
“Cara, Cara.” My heart skips a beat at the sound of Ethan voice. I can tell there’s something wrong.
 
“What’s it.” I sit up waiting and praying.
 
“Cara. It’s Stephanie, she’s dead.” My throats constrict, the phone fell from my hand and drops on the bed. It can’t be. She can’t be
