Simple actions like descending stairs and sitting down seemed to exacerbate his pain. Beads of sweat formed on his handsome, slightly pale face.
Mekhi returned home from the office the day before in a huff.
Irritated by the prying eyes, he grabbed a spoon and snapped, Just eat! Stop staring at me.
Ryder and Sally were startled. They bent their heads, picked up their spoons, and quietly ate breakfast.
After some time, Mekhi asked with a cold face, Sally, did you see Noelle yesterday?
Sally froze and swallowed a bite of the sweet freshly baked bread.
No. Lucinda and Noelle werent at the villa when I got there.
Unsure of their whereabouts, I decided to return home, she explained.

In an instant, Mekhis anger erupted, and he sent dishes crashing to the floor.
The dining room echoed with the clatter of shattered plates.
Ryder was so terrified that he trembled and dropped his spoon on the table.
While tears slowly welled up in Sallys eyes, and she looked like a frightened rabbit.
With an angry glare, Mekhi questioned her in a hushed tone, You didnt find her, and you just returned like that? Couldnt you have waited until you could see her? You are absolutely useless!

Tears streamed down Sallys cheeks as she struggled to respond.
Sally being his favorite sister, Mekhi restrained his anger and issued a command, You must find any means to meet Lucinda and Noelle today. If not, dont bother returning here.
Okay, I understand Sally replied.
Her sorrow deepened as she thought about it. Tears flowed down her cheeks more intensely and she looked sad and helpless.
Mekhi, however, remained unyielding.
Hush now. No more tears, he instructed.
Sally promptly muffled her cries, pressing her hand against her mouth to stifle any further sobs. Her chest rose and fell as tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.
Turning away from Sally, Mekhi shifted his focus to Ryder.
Sensing the weight of Mekhis gaze, Ryder bowed his head, fearing a reprimand.
How was your first day at the National Security Bureau? Mekhi inquired.
