Keeping Within Family Chapter 54

It was only a dream.

I don’t know but I don’t recognize her anymore. I knew her to be the kind who wouldn’t hurt a fly but now, I don’t know

She’s the only family I have left.

“No one’s thinking right now. Everyone’s gone mad.”

You better tell her that I’m coming for her. This war she has started, she won’t win.

“Yeah, welcome to the family, Bibi. Things are not exactly how it seems. I think it’s about time she receives the real scoop, don’t you think, dad?”

“I chose you, Ayesha. And I stand by it. I hope you will do same.”

I’m not the only one mad at dad for what he did.

“We are at war now. The family as we knew it is no more. Right now, we have to protect ourselves.”

“I said I was sorry. You said you had forgiven me.”
“Oh did I?”

We are all to blame for how the girls turned out.

With everything she has done, I think Ayesha deserves whatever comes to her.

“Oh honey, I don’t plan to go down alone when the time comes. Everyone comes along with me.”

We’ve played with fire for too long and perhaps it’s about time we got a little burned.
