"We won't be going home together today.",sergio said to katherine as they walk down the school hallway,holding his bag firmly to his back .
"Why?you and Avalon are going out?"she asked .
"No",he answered and she raised her brows questionably.
"So what?,",sha asked.
"I have to meet aunt mia,",he replied with a small smile.
"Ohhhhh,",she drawled.
"You should probably go with Alfred",sergio advised
Katherine eyes widen.
"No",she said sharply.
Sergio frowned .
"Why, aren't you...",
"I said no gio,I am not going with him",she said and then walk away from him.
"Bye Gio,Don't be late to get back home",she waved as.ahe walk to the school gate.
Sergio stared at her curiously,what is with her?
He shrugged his shoulders and then make his way inside the school.
"Sergio,",he heard his name and recognized it to be that of
Fred.
He looked back to see him jogging towards him.
"Hey wassup man",he greeted as soon as he got to him.
Alfred answered by nodding and then looked round him.
"What?",sergio asked.
"Katherine,where is she?I thought you guys will be together ",he said .
"Oh,she went home already,any problem?",sergio asked .
Alfred sighed
"Nothing,did she just go now",he asked .
"Not too long,she should still be at the gate waiting for a taxi",sergio answered.
"Okay,thanks",he replied hurriedly and turned to move.
"Is anything the problem?did you two had a fight?",sergio asked and he stopped briskly.
"No,we are fine",he answered and then scurried away, half running.
We???
Are they going out?
That sounds interesting.
"Tch tch",sergio clicked on his tongue ,a huge grin on his face as he walked away.
So katherine could be going out with the popular Alfred stones.
That really sounds interesting.
He just found a new topic to be used in teasing his step sister.
Fun fun fun.

"What the hell mia?,I don't think sergio knew anything about where his mom kept the file ,we should probably find another way ",matt said on the phone as he walk back and forth at the balcony of the house.
"Maybe because all this is doing so great in stressing me out",mia said.
"We have been on this search for almost three years , Ashley really did a good job in hiding it",she added.
"I don't even know if it is real anymore,I have so much to do with that money ,I really need it",matt said selfishly.
"You mean your son's money"mia taunted and Matt smirked.
"Or your best friends money,",he replied and she fell silent on the phone.
That really struck a chord.
Matt smirked at her silence.
"We are in the same boat mia,we are both after another person's property but mind you mine is different it is my son's and wife's money but you....should I say you are just trying to get your hand on why isn't yours",he said to her .
No reply.
"So you can see that you should learn how to talk to me mia,and continue to be the botch that you are",he smiled and then cut the call.
A triumph smirk on his face as he walk inside the house.
What a good way in getting back at that bitch .
Always trying to be a saint.
A figure hide behind the wall as it noticed matt moving in it's direction.
Staring loathfully at the retreating figure of the selfish man who care of nothing in the world but himself,not even his own son .
How could he do that ,do that to his wife ,to his son .
Pushing her down the stairs and letting her die is not enough,he wants to take everything she had , everything she left for him.
Sergio lips quivered badly as angry tears flow down his face.
And he can't even believe his aunt mia also have something to do with this.
So that was why she was always curious and anxious to know if he found anything.
They both betrayed him,they both betrayed his mother.
He knew his dad as a devil but he can't believe the only person he trusted all his life was planning this behind his back.
He staggered his way to his room as his heart felt heavy,how much this hurts.
💐💐💐💐💐💐
"Sergio dear",yvonne said peeking into his room.
Sergio spranged up the bed to face her
"Mom",he called .
"Come in",he said when he noticed how she stood at his door ,only her head in view.
Yvonne walked in before closing the door behind her.
She stared at him and noticed how disheveled he looks ,he look disturbed.
"Are you okay?,",she said moving closer to his bed,a worried look on her face.
"Sergio is everything alright with you? katherine got home without you and I was worried and now you aren't eating dinner also ,is everything okay?",she asked worriedly ,the bed deepening as she sat on his bed.
Sergio open his mouth to talk.but nothing came out of it.
He closed it back.
He opened to talk again but no voice came ,it felt as if he suddenly lost his voice.
He stared at the woman in his front looking at him.with worry laced in her eyes.
This woman who have showed him nothing but love ,kindness and care,like her own.
She makes him remember his mother,that was the kind of look she always have when looking at him.
A look filled of love.
It felt real ,too pure to be fake.
"I....",he tried to talk but failed to.
His voice is stucked in his throat.
His eyes get blurry,with tears .
And the next thing he felt was a hand wrapping round him .
He felt love.
Warmth.
"Everything will be fine gio,just know that I am here ...for you",she said and tears rolled down his eyes .
He dipped his face into her shoulder as he cried bitterly.
He hugged her back .
So tight.
