Kapitel 75: No excuses to give

•Arius

I sat on the Window couch in the library, staring out of the large window at the evening cold sky. My laptop open on the other edge.

I looked at my phone. The one contact I've been wanting to call on the screen

'Veronica Xander.'

My father's girlfriend. Well a secret lover to be exact.

I pressed the call button.

The phone rang and she picked up after a while.

"Hello? Arius?"

"Veronica..."

"Yes?"

"Are you free?"

"Now?"

"At anytime. I just need a few minutes."

"You can come over at anytime. I'll be home."

"Okay..."

After hanging up I slumped against the frame, looking out at the darkening sky. It seemed like it would snow soon.

I heard the library door open and then footsteps coming towards me.

I knew who it was so I didn't move from my place.

As the person came and stood near me I asked.

"You said she was getting better. So Why?" I asked him.
