Ace ✔️

Come with me

Now that I think about it, they both really did have many similar characteristics....

Anyway, I focus back onto my sister as she completes her sentence

"Alexandra I have something to tell you..." she says with tears swelling up in her eyes, she quickly looks away

I start to get worries and hold her hand

"Jen, is everything alright?" I ask

"I had a miscarriage"

I feel goosebumps and gasp

"Oh I'm so sorry Jennifer. Why didn't you call me or tell me!? I would have came and been there for you" I say and get up to hug her

A few tears stream down her face and I wipe them away with my thumb. With tears in my eyes, I give her a kiss on her forehead.

"I'm so sorry, how is Frank holding up?" I ask her

"He's fine. Honestly, Rose was our daily reminder that we were already blessed and lucky and she helped us pull through" she says

Confusion strikes my mind "Who's Rose?" I ask

"Rose... my daughter?" she looks at me like im crazy

My jaw instantly drops

"Jen you have a daughter!! And you never told me-"

"Al, I thought I did tell you-" I interrupt her

"How old is she?" I ask

She hesitates to speak

"JENNIFER how old is my NIECE?!" I demand with tears streaming down my face

"6 years old" she says in a whisper

I let out a sob. "How could you not have told me?! All these years, you're my sister Jen. My only sister!!" I yell

"After I got married, we just never got close so I didn't want to call you and-" I cut her off again

"Call ME? You didn't want to CALL me?! You recall the amount of times the past few years you've called me to ask for money. And even when I barely could afford it, I still gave you money, and yet you're telling me you couldn't CALL me to tell me I had a niece!?" I yell

"Who the hell are you? Because your not the sister I raised" I say with disgust

"Well you're the one who married the RICHEST man in the world and never even told me! Do you know how I heard? Through magazines, radio talk shows. That my sister was a widow. Hell, I didn't even know you were married" she yells back

I wipe away my tears

"Al, look I'm sorry" she tries to hold my hand but I pull it away

"Just tell me what you want? Why are you here? Is it for money? Or to insult me on my dead husband and how 'filthy' rich he is? What do you want Jennifer?" I ask

"You can't hog it all. The money. You know he had a family too right? You have a family too right?" she says with stern eyes

"I no longer have a family" I spit out and grab my purse and leave

I walk out the cafe door holding everything in and walk back to work. I make no eye contact with anyone but just focus on getting there. I walk as fast as I can and finally reach him. I see him standing in front of the car looking at the world that surrounded him. His eyes finally find mine and he instantly looks worried.

I walk up as fast as I could to him and he comes to me

"Alexandra whats wro-" Before he could finish his sentence, I broke down in his arms and just let everything I was holding in, out.
