Shattered

Super Power

Two weeks, she spent two weeks barely speaking , barely eating and barely sleeping.

Its scaring me now. Yesterday I invited Ari to check her, she said Gemima just stared at her without response.

I walk into the bedroom to bathe her just before work. Ethan left five minutes ago to head to his daycare.

And just like all the other days , she cries her soul out and the sponge kisses her golden skin.

As soon as I dry her , I dress her in my white joggers and matching hoodie. I lay her on the bed.

"I'm headed to work. Be safe okay?" I tell her as I kiss her forehead. She is in the position shes been in for weeks.

I head to the car and I drive to work . The entire way all I'm thinking about is her.

Is she okay? It worries me how her eyes have been sinking into her skull from malnutrition.

I'm doing all that I can for her, it's taking a toll on me as well . If this goes on for another day, I'm calling a doctor.

She needs to survive this.

I dont know what I'd do to myself if she passes away.

I park by the private lot.

As I walk into the building, I see that the room is pin drop silent. I remember that it's a Saturday, I'm not supposed to be here.

But I walk further in and I work. I examine the profit margins since the new property business set alight.

Everything is looking good. No loses are detected .

I decide to look over what is  going on media-wise.

I scroll through Arraine's company's page first. I notice the growth. I'm proud of her. She couldve been a drug addict if her parents didn't pull her out in time.

The I find some random pictures. I click on the link.

World's most talked about couples

The headline reads. I scroll down. The first picture I see is mine holding Gemima's hand as we walk down stairs leading to that cafè in Paris.

More pictures appear about us. I read the article.

"Nathan has yet to come out about his relationship with the beauty, but he has been seen numerous times with her. From his first appearance ,after years , at his own gala to Paris just a few days ago. Our Nathan is no longer sad over Elizabeth.  Infact he looks happier. We wish the all the best."

The second one is attached to a picture of myself and Ethan walking to an ice cream stall.

"Is Nathan Meyer a father? If he is who would the mother be? Could it be that Elizabeth and Meyer had been together all along?

The little boy has similar features to Meyer, including his signature hazel eyes and bronze hair.

Just look at those happy faces."

I sigh, this is useless. As I move towards exiting the website, I accidentally refresh the page.

A picture of familiar faces appear.

I feel something. At the pit of my stomach. The title reads.

"Oh Baby!"

A face I used to despise for so long. Emerald green eyes stare back at me. Usher.

He and Elizabeth are holding hands while walking out of a baby clothing store. I turn off the computer. A feeling of utter disgust makes it's way onto my tongue.
