HER ADDICTION

What do you think you are doing?' She abruptly stood to her feet, pushing the man away from her. 'And who are you? What are you doing in my house and kitchen?' The unknown man rose to his feet, wearing a puzzled look. "Your house? Your kitchen?" "Yes," Nino tried to sound confident even though mere looking at him sent cold blood down her spine. "A burglar won't be treating himself to dinner so who the heck are you?" "I should be asking you this," his cold impassive voice came again. "Who are you and what are you doing in my house?" After being cheated on by her boyfriend. Nino learnt her house has been sold to a complete stranger, the news of her parent's house being sold by the man her parents borrowed a loan from and couldn't pay back before their death. The news hit Nino Peterson to the core. She swore to take back her parent's house but when she realized the amount the man bought her house, she knew she couldn't pay him on time or send him packing either. So the two reached a compromise that she will still live in her parent's house until she was able to pay back the amount the man paid on her house. But will she be able to live under the same roof with a man knowing he's a complete stranger and the atmosphere will not be the same anymore? And when she also learns the truth about the man living under the same roof with her, would she be able to deal with it?

He flipped the lights and saw her curled up in her bed. She wrapped her tiny arms around her body and slept soundly. A smile crept on his face as he walks in, he sat down beside her and stroked her hair, pushing back the strands that shielded her face. He watched her body rise and fall evenly. He narrowed his eyes on her pale face down to the marks on her exposed shoulders and arms.

He's working hard to better their lives. And it hurts him his job isn't allowing him to come home to his sister most of the time and they have no other place to go except here. He had to endure the bullshits from the man called their father. He recalled the hell he and his sister went through while growing up under his care.

He heaved a breath and smiled. Watching his sister's pale yet cute and peaceful face. She's the reason he kept on going. The reason to live.
