We are all at home. The boys. We are on the red couch sitting quietly. Nobody is talking. We feel like a bird who’s being attacked by cold.
We don’t say anything to each other, and the one person that’s on our mind is Elena. No doubt we deeply regret everything and at this point, we will do anything to bring her back.
“Where is mom?” I turn to my side to ask Daniel. He sits beside me, and his head is on his hands. He’s calm, and so is the rest of us.
“She should be at the airport, by now.” he answers. That’s good. One job done well. We are the Quads, and we know how to manipulate things.
We made mom leave the country because of what is about to happen today. I can’t fucking bear to watch her hear the news. I can’t bear to see any tears in her eyes. She’s been loyal to her mate but her mate has never been.
He has never been loyal, which means he’s been fucking playing with mom’s feelings. I couldn’t let her know anything that is happening, for now. That’s why we did something to send her back. We made it seem like she has urgent work to do, which is true and it’s all our plans.
“Have you seen him?” Darius asks, he is the calmest. He still doesn’t believe that dad raped the girl and also what I told them. What I saw at the sports complex, cheating on mom. He’s a fucking piece of shit!
“Do you think you would be able to control yourself if you see him?” Daniel scoffs as he rolls his fist into a ball.
“I don’t know. I can’t explain how I feel about him right now. How he made us think Elena was the culprit. No wonder, he was so desperate to end her.” Darius laughs through pain.
“Damn it guys. We’ve failed her and we are so fucked.” I run my hands into my head, like I’m going insane.
We all don’t say anything again as we are trying to calm down and think, and fucking think about the next thing to do. While I am on the couch, I have alcohol by my side. I drink and try to make my mind clearer but the more I think and drink, the blurrier it becomes and more confused I am.
Amidst the silence, a phone begins to ring. I look around to see whose phone it is. It’s Tyson’s. He pulls it out of his pocket and looks at the caller ID. Once he checks on the caller, he immediately lifts his head to look at us, making us suspicious of who the caller is.
“Who is it?” I ask quickly.
He drops his cigarette back on the ash tray. ” It’s Riley.” He replies. We all arch our brows immediately when we heard him.
“Why is she calling?” Darius asks.
“Maybe she wants head.” Tyson replies laughing.
“Do you realise how much we’ve hurt Elena because of that? We are doing no shit anymore that will cause her pain. You get it?” Daniel spits out my mind.
“I know. I will never do shit with her again. And besides, I cut off from her. I’m just curious that she’s calling.” Tyson defends himself.
He picks up the call and put it on speaker. “Hey, what the fuck is going on? Elena is on the news right now. She says your dad raped Diana. Don’t you think she’s going mad already?” Her voice is so loud that we all subconsciously put our hands in our ears while we listened.
“Oh.” that was the only reply Tyson could give her. We are all aware of the news even if we don’t turn on the TV to watch.
We made it a success. We made them call her back so she could expose our dad. We don’t care if he is our father. We did nothing to help her or believe her in the first place. This is the least we can do for her and it’s just the beginning.
“Hey, why aren’t you saying anything.” She screams on the phone. Her voice is stirring up the eagerness inside of me.
I snatch the phone from Tyson to give her a reply, “Thanks for the information, Riley. Goodbye.” I say and hang up.
They sigh. And I look dead at them. My eyes have been dull since last night and my heart has been aching since then. “That was so harsh. Well served.” Darius smirks.
We don’t make our next step yet. We just wait and watch what happens next after the news. And we’re sure dad must have seen it by now.
Speaking of the devil, he kicks the back door with force as he charges into the living room. “What the fucking hell is happening?” he breathes out heavily.
“What is happening, dad?” I ask calmly as we all look innocently at him.
“That bitch!” He yells. I know it’s Elena he just called bitch, and it hurts like a fresh injury. I fight my demon to stay calmly as I listen to him.
“Bitch? Who is that?” We just play dumb at him as if we are clueless about what has been happening.
“The fucking Elena you call your mate!” he adds another vulgar word to her name and it makes me want to blast. I clench my fist beside me. Daniel notices it and wraps his hands around my balled fist.
He whispers, “Calm down, bro.” He says and I release my hand.
“She is on the media, telling everyone that I raped Diana.” He aggressively says. “Fuck, I need to end her! We should have done that a long time ago. She’s going to ruin my reputation.” he shouts, taking off the tie from his neck.
We say nothing as we exchange glances. “Where have you been dad?” I ask him, smiling.
“Where else if not my office? I’ve been busy, but your fucking mate have been busy trying to ruin me!” he spits out lies and I laugh.
