chapter 6
We arrived at our house where the funeral service was being held .We walked in Brad's hand was on my lower back as we walked. There were a few guests in the house and they were all in black. Most of them i knew and a few i had no idea who they were. We gathered aroud and where we had asked the funeeal organizers to dig up her grave in our backyard. We all walked past the coffin i tried to hold back my tears but i couldn't my tears flowed out of control. "Shhhh its okay Lyn stop crying now please." Brad said rubbing my back . Was he okay this was my mother. The only parent i ever knew, my mom she gave birth to me and i did not even remember what my father looked like except for the pictures that were hung around the house. Brad,me,mom and some other woman mom never told me about her,she was the second wife for all i care. I just brushed Brad's behaviour past me and concentrated on my mom's last figure. She indeed was beautiful but i barely looked like her or my dad.We all went to the backyard for burial.I watched as they lowered her casket ,i will always love you mom. After everything was done. Everyone went to get snacks and bid Goodbye . I stayed at my mom's grave and watched the men do their work.I watched as they placed her tombstone
In loving memory of
Mrs.E.Evans

The tombstone read, it was beautiful. I looked at it when they were done. I sat near it and started crying. I cried for a while and felt tired. An idea crossed my mind .I'll keep a vase near the tombstone where I'll grow her favourite white roses. I got up and headed to the basement to find an empty vase but i just felt too tired. I saw everything turn before everything was dark and silent.
BRADLEY' POV
After the burial Roselyn stayed out with the guys working on the tombstone until they were done. She sat there crying. I wanted to stop her and take the pain awaybut Chad advised it was better to let her take it all out and let her ne alone for a while. So i left her alone and walked Chad out as he was leaving tonight. As soon as he left i thought of keeping an eye on Roselyn so j went up to her room. It had the perfect view of the whole backyard area. I moved to the window and looked where the grave was but she wasn't there. I waited for a few minutes until worry started feeding on me. I ran downstairs yelling her name and got no response. I checked all the rooms but she was not there. I panicked and called my head security guard.
"I need Roselyn's location right now" I yelled through the phone. He shuffled for a few minutes and replied. " Sir she is right next to you, infant she is where you are" he said I looked around and saw no one " im not kidding Bruce i said give me her location" i said getting irritated " sir we use her phone tracker to locate her she is with you" he replied. Only then did i realise i jave Roselyn's phone with me. " ooo gosh i have her phone" what if someone took her when they left or she went somewhere absent minded. " sir im sending some men over to look around the house,the exit gate camera does not show her leaving the premises she is somewhre around the house. " he said and i was a bit relieved. I sat cross legged on the floor. Now that mom is not around to help me control my emotions for Roselyn im going to go insane definitely. The men arrived and checked the house. Ten of them ran around the house checking and one by one they all reported that they saw nothing as they became lesser my worry rose bit by bit.
I was about to call Bruce when the last one came in with her small frame unconscious. I rushed to him and took her to my old room. Rubbing her palms ,checking her palse,her forehead her breathing was shallow "call the doctor " i instructed.
A doctor came and checked her she was okay just tired and drained. She left and i took her to my car. I placed her on the seat and turned to face Bruce who had arrived. " lock up and put the house up for sale " i said before getting into the car and told the driver to take us home.
By the time we got home she was up and seemed very weak and annoyed by my presence. Ihad gotten her some mashed potatoes to eat but as soon as she opened them she asked the driver to stop and she started vomiting. I got out and rubbed her back gave her a bottle of water.
"Please don't give me anything ,i dont feel like eating. Im tired too and have no appetite." She said . I rubbed her back and she moved away from me" and keep your hands to yourself please"
What is wrong with her now. I immediately called the doctor again and asked her to meet me at my house.
We got home and she went up to our room.
I met the doctor in my other study room.
And explained what happened to her.
" I see its the end of the month,its bound to happen. If you don't mind can i have a word with any of your female helpers." Why not talk to me . I should be the first to know what happens to her. " Im afraid you cant tell me whatever it is "
" if you say so, she is on her monthly period and her behavior is a little different,her diet can be a little different from the one she usually follows,ive prescribed some pain killers for her. You can get her some sanitary pads,and include some bananas,red wine,dark chocolate,red meat in her meals they can be of help. Ohh and some warm water as well. She can be a bit moody as well " she said
Ooo women really ho through so much pain dont they. Ive heard of these but i never thought it could be so intense.
Anyway she laid down on the bed and while she was asleep i went and got what the doctor had told me. When i came back she was up roaming around the kitchen looking for food i think.
" hey ,here" i said handing her the plastic bag with the stuff i had bought
" Where are my mashed potatoes, you really want to starve me dont you"
Moody , i get it
" No ,i dont want to starve you actually tell me what you want to eat and i can make it for you"
" ohh can i have some pizza with a lot of cheese ,some Russian sausages , some chocolate muffins, fried chicken, some beef burger patties and cherry ripple icecream"
My mouth hung open ti the list of food she wanted. "Are you gonna eat all that " i asked " No i just going to throw it in the bin ,u have a problem, i havent had a proper meal in 2 days Brad ,i at least deserve some good food" she said annoyed. She wants it she gets it. I ordered of the foof and sat down looking at her . She started going through the bag" Ahhhhh,you got me chocolate, and red wine oh my gosh mom would never let me drink some wine!!" She screamed happily. " ummm yeah i did" i said
" Red wine , mom knew you easily get beyond tipsy princess " i said smiling " Mom! I got some wine from Brad " she yelled running out of the kitchen "Mom Brad got me some win-" then it hit her mom was not here anymore. " She fell on her knees and started crying " i wont have it mommy,you'd never like it" she threw the bottle across the room and it crashed. Some maids came in running . "Maam are you ok" one asked
she just got up and ran to our room" clean it up" i followed her upstairs. "Babe" i whispered as i got close to her she was sobbing. "Lyn, mom is not here anymore and she won't like it if she saw you like this,she would want you to move on" i said softly "Right she would hate me like this" she said smiling weakly .She got up and went to clean up in the bathroom. I heard a soft knock on the door, i went and saw one of the maids" sir the food you ordered is here" she said handing me a tray packed with food. "Thank you Lisa."
I placed the food on the table on the balcony. When she came out. Her face was bright and happy. "Whooah, all this food, i was joking Brad" she said seeming shocke by how full the big tray was. " anything you wish for princess you'll get it,just a word and I'll do it" i said
" ohh bro you too good,anyway now that its here we cant waste food now can we" she said sitting down and started eating.
We are good for now. I'll keep working on our relationship until we are in good terms.
"I LOVE YOU LYN" I said almost inaudible
