HER ALPHA'S CARNAL SINS
Chapter 252: Come with me

Chapter 252: Come with me

Talia’s eyes widened as the door was pushed open, and John quickly moved into a cubicle in the restroom, stilling his breath while watching them from the key hole

As he walked in, Talia quickly stood up on her toes, grabbed his arm and yanked him down, kissing him, taking him completely off guard.

"Talia." Jephthah’s voice was muffled, but he still pulled her in by the waist.

John felt that constructing pain in his chest watching them, but it doesn’t last because the next second she grabs his hand and leads him out the door.

Once they were out, John fell back against the wall of the cubicles and released a slow sigh.

"So close."

The first ray of sun light shone on his face, walking him up, but as he raised his head, Theresa was fully dressed sitting at the edge of the bed, dragging her boots up her leg with her hair cut short on her head.

His eyes narrowed down a bit on seeing her, but when he glanced around the expensive motel room they were in, his expression darkened and he briefly sat up up.

"I thought you’d never wake up." Theresa jokingly said, but Andrew doesn’t reply. He was still angry with what she did yesterday, and the fact that she had almost completely run his credit card dry was still unforgivable.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door and Theresa went to open it, and with how long she chatted with the security room attendant at the door, he wondered when they knew each other.

However, she ended up with his phone, and was already on the bed dialing a number as Andrew put on his clothes.

"Hey. It’s Theresa."

Angela perked up.

"Where are you? I’m heading out now."

Theresa ran her hands through her hair as she mentioned her location and when she was done, Andrew spoke up immediately, like he was waiting for her to be done.

"Today is the last day right?" Andrew persistently insisted and she glanced up at him. "Once your friend arrives to come pick you up, you’ll give me my keys and card and leave me alone."

"I always keep my word Andrew " She whispered with a smile and he swallowed, not sure if he should trust a psychopath.

Finally, his eyes lowered and landed on the phone in her hand.

"Do you think I could make a call with the phone? Just a short phone call. It really won’t take much of your time. I want to talk to my sister." Andrew tried his luck by pleading, but Theresa surprisingly handed it to him, watching with a smirk on her face when the phone landed on his hand unexpectedly and he just stared blankly at her.

"You’re acting like this is the first time this has happened?"

"Yes it is... you’re usually a jerky psychopathic." Andrew admitted and she just smirked with a strange glint in her eyes without a word.

He turned away from her and dialed his sister’s number.

"Hello.. who’s this?" He heard her say in a tentative voice over the phone.

He rolled his eyes.

Her voice was pretty decent for someone who yelled at him over the phone all the time.

"It’s Andrew." He curtly said.

"Andrew... " Suddenly she burst into tears and for some reason he felt his heart clench in an indescribable pain hearing her cry over the phone. He had seen her cry quite a few times, but she had never cried over the phone.

"Ashley why are... "

"You don’t know how worried we’ve been. I were on our way to make a report in the police station. We had to gather up all the money we’ve saved in the house to make the reports."

Andrew sighed, holding his forehead like he was suppressing a headache.

"Have you made the reports?"

"No.. "

"Then stay home."

"But .. "

"But nothing... I’m safe. I’m fine and I’ll be at home in the next one hour.. "

She suddenly broke down again and he rolled his eyes, not wanting her tears to get to him in the slightest.

"T- they dropped in a mail yesterday... "

Andrew narrowed his eyes, not saying a word, a cue for his sister to continue.

"Your university kicked you out... "

Andrew leaped off the bed, on his feet in seconds as he gripped the phone tighter.

"What!"

Theresa who had been studying him, narrowed her eyes sharply on sensing something was definitely wrong with how he had leaped off the bed.

"You know you were previously owing during second semester of your first year? Yeah well... when your grades started getting bad, they decided to kick you out."

Andrew was actually on a part time scholarship. The school only paid his tuition while he paid the rest, and now, they just felt the need to kick him out. Did they think acting the role of a father, husband, brother and student all at once was easy?

"And Andrew... " She sniffed. "Mum’s sick.. "

Andrew’s shoulder’s sagged hearing her words.

"She needs some drugs but her condition is getting worse each day. She was rushed to the hospital last night and ... and she needs to be operated on, but they’re calling some ridiculous amount of money we don’t have now... we’re consider selling the store. I’ve already found the buyers and they’re coming in today... "

Andrew felt years pool in his eyes hearing her words, and without realizing it he lashed out at her.

"You’re willing to sell the one thing that brings food to out table. Are you just dunce or ignorant."

"But mum... "

"We’ll figure something out. Even we have to use all my savings for school. It’s not like it’s useful any more."

"But it’s not enough."

"You know.. that’s my problem with you and mum. You never think whatever I do is enough. I have tried all my years to ensure you all live a comfortable life, but itt. doesn’t get easier with you two treating me like some maid. Dad died when we were 12. I started a part time job at the store. I had to write college entrance exams from home because I couldn’t afford to go school alongside you! I started riding dad’s pick up truck at sixteen. When I was supposed to be enjoying my teens, I sacrificed all that for you and mum! I lost friends... because I was focused on school and work. And now mum’s dying and... " Tears began dropping from him eyes and he sat down heavily on the bed while Theresa just sat there staring at him in shock.

There was a nagging feeling in her chest she hated because it hurt her and caused tears to unknowingly pool in her eyes.

"I don’t want to loose mum." Andrew finally said, shutting his eyes. "I don’t want to loose both my parents... "

Ashley was speechless over the phone, unable to say a word, guilt eating her up at every single word Andrew threw at her pieced her heart in different dimensions.

"Me too.. " She finally whispered, closing her eyes as she felt her twin brother’s pain.

After a while of silence, Andrew wiped his nose and face.

"Send in your bank details and I’ll send everything I have left in my account and ... if you check up in my room, underneath a loose plank board under my bed, you’ll see the documents of the land where the store was built."

Theresa’s eyes widened on hearing his words. He was really selling the store. She had never witnessed someone do something so selfless in her entire life.

"Thank you Andrew..." Ashley said, tears of guilt pooling in her eyes when she realized he was selling the store.

As Andrew was about to end the call, she spoke up.

"And I love you... you’ve been the best big brother I could ever ask for and mum really is proud of you. We don’t say it alot, but... whenever we do.. we really mean it."

There was silence as Andrew soaked her words in, feeling a slight feeling in his chest on hearing her words.

"I love you too Ashley." He said before tossing the phone aside and holding his head like it was threatening to fall off his neck.

There was silence for a whole hour as they waited for Angela, no one saying a single word. Andrew had ended up sleeping with tears streaked on his face while Theresa watched him.

He was just a kid.

She thought as she stared at his slim, bony frame curled into a ball as he slept.

Suddenly the phone rings again and they turn to the phone simultaneously since the ringtones snapped him out of sleep.

On seeing the name Angela written across, he fell back on the bed and let Theresa take it, feeling very exhausted.

He didn’t even know what to do when he got home. He felt so exhausted. What college will suddenly take him in and agree to pay his tuition. He’ll have to write the college entrance exams again because he couldn’t afford to pay the whole fees for college.

Even if he got into school, how was he supposed to maintain paying his fees when the store would be sold.

He just felt tired of everything.

"I’m outside." Angela replied.

"Okay. I’ll be out in a minute."

As Theresa got up, buckling her pants, she turned to him after her hand already closed over the door knob to leave.

"Come... let’s go."

He waved.

"You can go... I’ll leave when I want to."

"No... I mean... come with me."
