Mysterious Key

Chapter 3

Our family had been shattered after the fortuity. Seemed like misfortune had fallen upon. Gramps and Granny had three daughters and two sons. My mom Peyton Charles was the eldest, Oliva Charles was the second child, third in the line was Josephine Charles followed by Chris Charles and the youngest was Ryan Charles.

I was the only child of my parents while Aunt Josephine was a single mother and had one daughter as well named Samantha. Aunt Stephanie was married to my dad's brother and had no children. Adeline was Aunt Oliva Charles daughter while Richard was Uncle Ryan's Son. My parents Mr and Mrs Hemsworth with my aunt Josephine Charles were in Paris for their business meeting when their car had collided resulting in instant death.

I was still in the pain of losing my parents and my favourite aunt when I received the news of Gramps Illness. He was diagnosed with Cancer and had no chance of survival. Gramps had a lively soul and everyone looked upon him due to his open mind nature and a free soul. He lived his life at a very edge level and always said: "Live Your Life Till You Can Before You Kick Off".

Back to a reality check, I was still staring at the box with a peculiar look when Aunt Oliva with Uncle Chris and Ryan entered the main living room. Nobody in the family liked them because of their attitude and involvement in the drug industry and criminal cases. Aunt Olivia with a nasty tone, Laura you seemed like you lost your manners in letting us know about the big day.

My soul saver Samantha responded before I could even move my lips. Oh, aunt Olivia, we didn't know you guys will be coming up as well otherwise I  could have organized a special treat for you all. Samantha continued the heat that she was carrying inside her, all three of you never showed up when Gramps needed you at his very last minute. Now you all came running for his Will Announcement. How avaricious and egocentric!!

Look Samantha with a demanding tone Aunt Oliva said we aren't here to argue with you so it will be great if we get to know what your Dear Gramps had left us with. Laura, you seemed to be getting lazy day by day with his sarcastic voice Uncle Chris sounded. Been watching you for a while, you been holding the box and staring it for nearly half an hour as if you had seen a wraith.
