Mystery Love

Chapter 3

I was pacing along the hallway of the hospital. I was so confused. I didn't have any idea what to do.

I mean, I know we were in desperate need for a house as our home was completely sealed due to investigations, and we also have basic necessities to fulfill but obviously I couldn't just do it like that.

Mr. Richardson's offer was quite appealing for our, mine and my sister's situation but he was a total stranger to me. There was no way possible to trust him.

I need you.. Mum, Dad..

I was stuck badly in this situation. I think I should talk to Mr. Rodriguez about it.

He was just as old as my father and as he was investigating the crime scene at my house maybe he can help me with this. Yes I should call him..

I fished out my phone from the pocket of my jeans and searched his number. I remember putting it in my cell after our talk in his office.

*Ring* *Ring*

After 5th ring, he finally picked his phone. "Hello?" A gruff, annoyed and raspy voice of his answered. Oh shoot I totally forgot its past midnight. "Hello, Mr. Rodriguez, its Rayne Morgan I'm sorry for calling at this time maybe I should just call you in morning. My apologies Sir" I babbled hurriedly. "No no no. Its alright, I'm awake now right? So tell me what is it child?" He said. "Actually, I wanted your advice. See today I met this man named James Richardson, he said he's a multi billionaire, do you know him?" I asked him first before opening the whole matter in front of him.

"Oh yes I know him. He was your Father's childhood friend Rayne. Infact now I know why'd you call me." I could imagine a small smile on his face right now. The way he talked was almost as if he's happy. Does he know about this matter already? I asked my self. "Uh.. er.. You know? About our custody?"

" Yes kid I know. Actually, I was the one who sent him to you. I called all your realtives as well as him. He's your Father's friend as well as mine sweetie. When I told him about you and your sister he was eager to know if anyone have your custody. I told him that no one does so then he asked me to help him to adopt you two and I agreed" he told me.

I was still confused, I mean I get it, they were my parent's friend that I don't know of, and maybe never met them throughout my seventeen years of life and now when my parents are no more in this world, they suddenly appear claiming that they are my Father's cradle buddies.

But on the brighter side, they were here to help. There weren't anywhere close to my relatives who are too afraid of me and my sister. Maybe just because of the fact that me and my sister would become a "source sucker" for them. Talk about own blood.

If I agreed, not only that me and char will have some place to stay at, but as well someone that'll take care of us. I needed a little time to think on this matter on my own. Maybe I should start browsing through Google. I'm sure I could find something about Mr. Richardson there if he's that famous as he says. "Thanks Mr. Rodriguez. Thanks for everything"

"No biggie. And dont call me Mr.Rodriguez. Call me Uncle Martin"
He scolded in a playfull way." Sure Mr.- I mean Uncle Martin" I corrected myself smiling.

" By the way child, I liked it when you asked me first before agreeing to James. This shows me how much you respect me even though we've met only several times. Take care child. Good night"

With that being said, he cut the call and a feeling of guilt washes over me.

Here he was thinking that I trust him completely, I do trust him yes, but I'm not so sure about it. He is looking out for my sister and me, but here I am doubting the only light that could save me from the dark.

All these thoughts were eating me alive. I should just get some rest maybe and think about these problems tomorrow, or maybe until after Char recovers from her injuries.

I walked into the private room in which Char was moved into, after her successful surgery. Mr. Richardson thankfully paid for this surgery, which requires a load of money. Another point that shows that he cares.

Walking up to her, my eyes got damp looking at her almost lifeless body. While sitting on the nearby stool, I touched her cheeks gently then removed the fallen tendrils of hairs from her face.

"Everything's going to be okay Char. You know? There's a man named James Richardson, and he's willing to adopt us both. He's a billionaire Char and also a very good man with good morals. You can buy all the designer clothes that you brag about to me sis. As for me, I will buy a ticket to One direction's concert for sure" I smiled slightly as the tear trickled down my face. Quickly wiping it I continued:

"I've never felt so lonely in my entire life as I am feeling right now. I wish you were here, sitting and listening to me as I go on and on about my obsession with that band and then listening to you scolding me like I'm five year old girl and you are my mother telling me not to eat chocolate too much. Then in the middle of that angry ranting of yours, I would shut you out and get lost in my own world. Then probably, you would hit me with all the flowers in this room surrounding you" I said as I gazed at the flowers and the get well soon cards for her that fill the room with a light chuckle full of pain. The bitter-sweet truth was they were all from her friends, not even a single bud of rose was from any of our realtives.

Maybe Mama was right, "every single person that you call your own blood will turn against you once you've lost that most valuable thing in your life; money or parents".

And I always laugh at that thought, but now the nightmares, those fears of losing relations were transforming into the reality.

"I hope you get well soon love. I want to hear that whiny voice of yours. I want your stupid opinions, on this matter of adoption. I want to hear you call me those names. I want to hear you say "Awi", I want to hear anything from your mouth, anything please just wakeup, I can't do this anymore, I cant live without you now, we only have each other and God knows what awaits for us in this ruthless world." I cried, I couldn't stop myself. With all that pain in my heart and tears streaming down my face I got up from the stool.

Taking her lifeless from one more time into my observation, I moved towards the couch at the corner of the room waiting for the sleep to consume me
