Morning came and house was still cold. No one was talking to each other. Emily came out to the balcony to see Max already there. Hey sis. He greeted. He. She answered placing her two hands in her pockets. You want coffee? He asked as she looked at him. You're not drinking this anymore? She asked. You're my sis. So I see no problem sharing an ordinary coffee with you. He said as she frowned. You could have said no. No need to be sentimental. She said as he chuckled. Christ Em, where did you come from? He said laughing. You really don't need to be a knuckle head. He completed. Anyways, what are you doing here? Shouldn't you be at the office? She asked. Trying to get rid of me? He asked. You already know it. She replied as he just smiled. Dad and uncle are in a meeting with you know who. He said as she scoffed. So they kicked you out? She asked. No they didn't. Maybe it's not something I should know yet. He reassured himself. You mean you weren't wanted so they kicked you out. She said. Fuck you. He said as they laughed. By the way, I heard what happened. Max said. Yeah. I'm sure you did. She said looking down at her cup. Do you hate me.? She asked. I can never. I know the kind of person you are and I understand you. It's them who don't. He assured her. Good. Then I don't need to explain myself. She said. Of course. You never see the need to explain yourself. Max said turning to her. Thanks though. He said as she turned to him looking confused. For what? She asked. For standing up for the twins. I knew you never hated any of them. You love them but you don't know how to show it. Max said. Oh God! No, not this. I wasn't trying to help them. I really wanted to deal with that Nelly. Why can't anyone listen to what I'm saying. That Nelly was going out of control, so I had to put her in the right path. I really really hate that girl. She emphasized. I know. Everyone hates her. Max said as they were quiet. Is dad angry with me? Emily asked. For someone who loves peace, he's proud of you. Max said as Emily smiled. Do you want a hug? Max asked as she scrunched up her nose. Eww, no. Go get yourself a woman. Don't be sappy. She cried out as they both laughed.
************************************Melody was given the servants some chores to do when Sandra passed. I'll be right back. She said as she went after her. Sandra wait up. San wait. She said as Sandra turned. What? Do you want to slap me some more? She asked. No. No I would never do that. Melody said fumbling with her hands. But you did yesterday. She pointed out. About that, I'm so sorry I did that. I really didn't mean to raise my hands on you. Melody said. But you did. She said rolling her eyes. Look Mel, I need some time to think about this apology of yours. So please excuse me. She said leaving. This is really getting out of hand. Melody said as she left
************************************Marcus could you stop playing that game of yours loudly? It's disturbing my peace. Mary complained. Just let me finish this level. Marcus said. How do you keep playing that rubbish? Do something great with your life please. Mary said. Why are you always reading? Reading is boring. Marcus said. It's not boring. You're just stupid and dumb. Mary said. I'm already done. So chill. He said . Good. She said rolling her eyes. Sis, can I ask you a few? He asked. If I say no, would you leave me the fuck alone? She asked. You know I can't. Twins must stick together. Marcus said. Where was it written? She asked as he wiggled his eyebrows. Yuck. Just ask your question. She said. Do you think it's ok for everyone to be living under one roof? He asked as Mary removed her eyes from her book for a second and then continued her reading. Well, aunt might have a reason for bringing everyone else together but I personally won't do it. I prefer everyone to stay on their own and live their lives the way they want. She said as Marcus nodded. Do you think everything is gonna be ok? He asked as she rolled her eyes. What do you think? She asked as he just shrugged. I don't know. He replied. Don't worry everything is gonna be ok. Which ever way it happens, I pray we would all be happy. She said assuring her brother
************************************Naomi was going up the stairs while Nelly was going down. Hey coz. Naomi said as Nelly rolled her eyes folding her hands. What the fuck do you want? She asked. Watch it. Naomi warned as Nelly sighed. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to raise my voice. Naomi said. Look, can we get over this? Nelly said. About yesterday, I'm sorry. What ever happened was wrong. We shouldn't have a reason to fight as we're one family. She said as Nelly scoffed. Look, I really don't why you're apologizing. Even if you all kneel in front of me, it wouldn't make a difference to me. You all should just watch what I do. I'll make a comeback and I'll make sure you all are fucked. She said as she left. That stupid girl. Who those she think she is? Naomi said to herself. Sometimes I wish I was like Emily. She said as she left.
************************************Cynthia has called everyone down for lunch. The table was quiet. No one was saying anything. She sighed watching this. This isn't how she imagined joining the whole would be. I'm sorry. She announced as everyone turned to her. For what mum? Naomi asked. For raising my voice yesterday and issuing out a stupid punishment forgetting that no one is a kid here, well except the twins. She said as Marcus rolled his eyes. Wow gee! Thanks. Mary said as Naomi chuckled while Emily snorted.
