Chapter 52
“You have no right to call my line”, Serah seethed.
She had woken up so early to the loud sounds of her ringing tone blasting through her bedroom. In her haste to pick it up, thinking it was Brian, she had accidentally set a small part of the room on fire what with her magic going haywire.
“How dare you speak to your mother in such manner”, she seethed.
“For your information mother, you stopped being my mother the minute you told me you didn’t care about me so I see no reasons why you have to call me”, Serah said.
She worked a spell that cleared the room immediately of all smoke and debris even as she felt the choking sensation associated with fire accidents. This was all her mother’s fault, if she hadn’t called, Serah wouldn’t have set the room on fire and in turn, she wouldn’t be having this migraine that was slowly edging to the surface.
“I never said that you liar”, her mother screamed.
“You call me a liar when you’re actually the one telling a lie now. Mother, what really went wrong with you and Dad. These are not the parents i used to know”, Serah said.
She was almost moved to tears now as she tried desperately to tamp down on the tears that threatened to becloud her eyesight. Serah had never felt so alone as she felt that minute especially since her mate wasn’t there to comfort her.
“Nothing happened, we just moved on to the truth”, she said.
Serah’s face was filled with a confused expression as she tried to make sense of what her mother was saying. Serah knew there were truths in what she was saying but try as he may, he couldn’t quite connect the dots and she hoped her mother gave her a hint of what she was saying.
“What do you mean?”, Serah said.
“You see, this is what I mean when I say you’re still living in the dark”, she mocked.
Serah stared out the window, thinking about how her life was going to become now that her mother had deserted her. She knew she was going to feel hurt but she didn’t care because she had her mate, someone who loved her unconditionally.
“What ever it is you both are doing, I don’t care but I hope you get caught soon and pay the price of your evil”, Serah seethed.
“All the more reason why we left New York to a foreign country”, her mother said
Serah gripped the phone tighter just as she heard voices in the background. She was trying to decipher the meaning of the strange language she heard in the background when her mother rudely cut the call.
She dropped her phone on a nearby table, taking a seat by the edge of the bed. She sighed as she stretched her legs out, feeling the strain from standing for several minutes. Serah didn’t know what to do in this case but one thing she was sure of is that her parents were definitely hiding something. Heck, her own father hadn’t even called her in three weeks which only butressed her point.
“She’s crazy, the both of them are”, Serah said.
Just then, her phone blared indicating she had another call. Serah swiped the caller ID and smiled when she discovered that it was her mate calling.
“Hi”, Serah said.
“Mate. How are you?”, Brian said.
“I’m fine, I woke up a few minutes ago”, Serah said.
“What’s wrong love, your voice sounds tired and irritated”, Brian said.
Serah didn’t know how he knew but she was greatful someone knew exactly how she was feeling.
“It’s my mother” , Serah said.
At the mention of this, Brian growled so deeply Serah thought he had transformed until he spoke again.
“What! Is she there?”Brian said.
Serah could hear him pacing about and she was saddened she had to be the cause of his present worry.
“No, she’s not here. Far from it”, she said.
“Then what’s the problem?”, Brian said.
Serah told him all about her mother’s conversation with her. Thinking about it now, Serah discovered she had spoken to her in whole of ten minutes which was the longer they had ever spoken.
It was usually between two to three minutes, five minutes if what they were both saying was eventful.
“Don’t worry love, soon we’ll find out what your parents are really after”, Brian said.
“Thank you. I hope you and Jack are okay?”Serah asked.
She made her way towards the kitchen, in need of a hot cup of Cocoa to ease the coldness she was feeling withing her.
“I got some things that would enable me nab Wilfred”, Brian said.
“Oh wow! That was so soon”, she smiled.
That was one thing about him, he would always get to the root of the matter especially if it was something that desperately wanted to solve just like the issue with wilfred.
“Oh, that’s good. Have you found out anything yet?”, Serah asked.
She poured some hot water into her cup before adding some dried powder of the brown substance.
“Not yet but one thing I’m sure of is that wilfred is working for some government official”, he said.
“Brian, are you sure about that. It’s a very serious offence especially when it’s found not to be true”, she said.
She couldn’t stand it if what Brian said proved to be false and he was made to pay for telling a lie against the demon leader. She knew wilfred could be evil but in some cases, he proved to be the name he was called, the demon leader.
“I’m sure of it love and I can’t wait to prove it to you, to the whole world”, he said.
Serah sighed, she knew there was no way she could change his mind especially when it was set on something.
“Just be careful, that’s all I’m asking”, Serah said.Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.
“I will. Please stay safe and sound, I’ll be back before you know it”, Brian said.
“Hurry, I’ll be waiting”, she smiled.
“Love you mate”, Brian chuckled.
“I love you too fiend”.
No matter what happened, Serah was always going to stand for her mate. He was part of her just like the way she was part of him and she wouldn’t have it any other way.
“Wilfred, I can’t wait to see the end of you”, she said.
She knew they would succeed as failure wasn’t a part of them.
