Sephora

CHAPTER 10

The next day just as predicted had come like a tornado, tearing through the hours with a wave of narratives that almost bothered Sephora except she refused to be surprised or bothered by anything that strangers had to say.

Besides she had something more bothering her at the moment.

"I wonder what Has happened to her"
Bren whispered to Sephora who simply shook her head.

Ever since she woke up in the morning and finally decided to join the kids and Bren's kids, she had found herself worrying over Cara because for the first time in the child's life, she was awfully quiet.

A Quiet Cara was a disaster in the works, simply waiting to happen, Sephora had no such time.

"Please Leave Us"
She demanded, nodding towards Bren who understood that she wanted to speak with Cara alone.

"Let's Go Kids "
Bren nodded, ushering the kids out while Cara remained in her sit, staring into space, simply lost in the sea of her own thoughts.

"Come"
Sephora called to Cara who still seemed lost.

A lot of things had happened Ober the years and although she liked to act like she was evil, Sephora knew there would always be bad days, besides, she wasn't always like this, especially not as a child.

"CARA"
Sephora yelled, knocking lightly on the table, thankfully this got her attention.

"I didn't fucking raise you to dwell in lala LAND, you got a problem? You speak up because no one is joining you in there"
She scolded, noticing how Cara's eyes suddenly welled up.

Now this got Sephora all the more worried because An annoyed Cara seemed most preferable considering how Difficult and strained their relationship had been For the longest of time.

"Come Child"
Sephora spoke, softly nodding in encouragement, scolding herself for loosing what emotions she had for the girl.

Although Cara had been nothing but rude, disrespectful and cruel, it didn't stop her from being her child at the end of the day.

Her personality or actions could never change that one truth.

After what almost felt like forever, Cara hesitantly drew near her, taken a sit right beside her.

"I don't care about your behaviour towards me but if anyone has done anything to hurt you, or even touched a strand of hair on your head, I swear to you Cara, they will wish they were never even born"
She stopped and wiped the tears that seemed endless.

"What happened?"
She asked gently, stroking Cara's face lightly.

"Can I move back in?"
Cara asked, sniffing lightly while Sephora nodded, She must have had a taste of what playing house with the devil felt like, A feeling Sephora didn't like in the slightest bit.

"You will always be my child Cara Alexandra Davids, Always."
She reassured Cara who awkwardly hugged her before rising back up.

"I hope a day comes when you forgive me for everything I've ever done"
With that she slowly went up towards her room.

"Should we be worried?"
Martha suddenly asked, walking into the room with her ever present IPad.

"She saw or heard something out there Martha, believe me, when you've been so lost for the longest of time, repentance doesn't just come as easy as people think it does"
With that Sephora turned to look at Martha who nodded in understanding.

"I will sort that out, until then, what do you have for me?"
Sephora asked Martha who stepped closer.

"Greg is desperate for partners because his company is at its lowest, partners, shareholders, employees, basically everyone is leaving while Claudia was seen leaving the country in the early hours of the morning, I think she's supposed to be back tomorrow or there about"
Martha reported, staring at Sephora who smirked.
