1124words
"Every sin can be forgiven..." Grace started, her voice soft and imploring.
"That's enough now, Grace," her sister Kate interjected sharply. "Anna isn't the only granddaughter anymore. We have Nari now. All the love you had for that useless girl should be passed on to Nari." She said it with a finality that stung, cutting Grace off mid-sentence.
Grace frowned, her frustration boiling over. "What good is that girl? No matter how hard you try, Kate, she'll never be a part of this family." Her voice was sharp, earning a glare from Kate.
"And Anna is any better? Come on, Grace, you didn't even like her mother when she was alive," Kate retorted, her tone icy.
"You made me do those things to her mother, Kate. You deceived me and turned me against her. Anna is not her mother; she's our brother's child. A member of this family whether you two like it or not," Grace spat back, her eyes blazing with anger.
"Grace," the general called out in a warning tone. He didn't like where things where going, it was the same thing Anna had mentioned the other day. He could already tell who was behind all of these. That stupid old fool Vincent. He had seen him at the after party.
Grace's frustration only grew. "I'm fed up with everything going on, Father. You can disown me if you want, but you're being unfair if you're punishing your granddaughter for your sins."
"Grace," Kate called, her voice sharp, but Grace had had enough. She turned on her heel and walked away, her steps firm. She couldn't stay in the same house with those two people anymore. She was tired of the constant fights and quarrels.
As Grace opened the door to the room, Nari, who had been leaning against it to eavesdrop, stumbled forward slightly. "Aunt Grace," she greeted politely, but the elderly woman didn't respond. She simply walked away, her steps brisk and determined.
"You shouldn't worry about her too much, Father. She'll be fine," Kate tried to reassure their father, and the old man nodded, though a shadow of concern lingered in his eyes.
"Nari." General Sui called when he saw her walk through the door. "Good morning grandpa." She said politely. "You seem a lot livelier than last night." General Sui beamed but Nari frowned this time.
"I would have felt a lot better if aunt Grace hadn't ignored me earlier." She started innocently like a naive child that needed protection.
"I know what I had done to Anna was wrong. It was terribly bad and I'm sorry." A tear drop fell. "I can't go back in time to change anything. I wish any of those things didn't happen either, if I could I would go back in time and change everything."
"That's alright dear, you don't have to feel bad or blame yourself for everything. Grace will come around, I'm so sure she loves you." Kate said to her new daughter and Nari nodded. The sympathy she had gained would be enough to get whatever she wanted.
"Did you have fun last night even if I wasn't there?" Nari asked as she picked a slice of bread adding generous butter to it. "I almost thought your plan would work, I was low-key rooting for you till I saw your cousin." Kate smiled. She had wondered where her daughter went to and why their little plot didn't work out.
"Where were you?" Kate finally asked.
"I was kicked out of the premises by Anna and her husband. They both kicked me out." Nari said to see the disdainful look on Kate's face. She almost laughed out loud but she held herself from doing such.
"How dare they?" The general spoke this time. "Anna should know more than anyone you're now a Sui and it is a taboo to be thrown out of an event in this city." He added furiously.
"Mother, I understand her hatred for me, it would take a while before she accepts me again and I'm willing to wait." Kate was touched by Nari's words. She may have done terrible things in the past, but staying with her everyday had made her realize, Nari isn't such a bad person. Everyone makes mistakes too.
"She had no right to treat you bad." Kate declared.
"I really want to work for Eclipse mother I really to." Nari said.
"There are so many other entertainment companies to work for, it doesn't have to be the place those abominable people own." Kate said in disgust.
"I don't care mother they're the best. I want to be a model in there, that's the only place I want." Nari announced and her new mother sighed. "If that's what you want sweetheart, that you shall get." She declared.
"I will call Anna later and let you work for them." Nari smiled. She didn't just want to work with Anna, she wanted the movie role Anna had. That movie would indeed skyrocket her career to the highest level.

Noah and Anna returned from the hospital with his wife in his arms. He had refused her to work on her own even if the doctor had said she was fine. She couldn't get enough of his sweetness. Most times it embarrassed her, but her home... She blushed at his action.
"Welcome back Master Noah." Lurch greeted going to the back to the car to get their bags.
"Lurch." Noah called an the old man was standing before him in no time.
"Prepare one of the finest and healthiest meal for my wife." Lurch bowed and walked away. He quickly went to the kitchen to inform the kitchen staff about his master returning and then the meal he has asked them to prepare.
Noah took Anna over to their bedroom to place her softly on the bed. Once both people were finally settled in, Noah decided to ask a few questions about what had happened. From the camera footage Lola and Paul showed him, she had last spoken to her family before hurrying out of the table.
"What happened last night?" He asked staring at his wife. He saw her lips quiver slightly and he knew something wasn't right.
Being reminded about last night, Anna felt like crying all over again. Her grandfather had disowned her on a special night like last night. He had said she was no longer a part of the Sui's family."
