Chapter 404 Chapter 404 A Family Reunion
"What about our car?" Adriana protested.
"Let's leave it. We'll buy a new one once all of this is over." I convinced her and pulled her hand to make her stop her prolonged inaction.
I just sensed that this was not a good place to be right now. The atmosphere was hot and the temper of the people mirrored the temperature to a tee.
I wouldn't even be surprise if there would be a stampede in the following seconds judging by the frantic expressions of the multitudes.
"Okay." Adriana finally muttered after we had distanced ourselves with that troubling scene. One car, even if it was lost, was not a big deal to her.
She could replace the piece of metal with but a flick of a finger. Thus, the two continued on their journey unhindered.
"Pheew! That was a good walk, right honey?" I joked when we finally arrived at the end of goal.
"One that I would not do anytime soon, honey." Adriana complained. She was a mess.
Her makeup was gone along the lines of her sweat and her thin shirt was fully drenched that hugged her voluptuous womanly charms to its peak.

"HAHAHA! I reckon that we'd walk again later, honey." I said and continued to enter the premises of the mansion before us.
"Mom! Dad!" Adriana strode past me and excitedly knocked on the doors of the house. She tried for five minutes but the entrance remained closed for her.
"What could have happened to them? Why are they not answering, Seth?!" my girlfriend asked in panic.
"Let me try and go towards the back of the house. I may find a way inside from there." I offered but my action paused when I heard footsteps coming our way.
"Dad?" Adriana called hopefully as she too, noticed the particular sound.
"Miss Valeska?" a youthful voice queried behind the gate.
"Kelsey?! Is that you?! Where's mom and dad?" Adriana exclaimed after she gained a ray of hope come for her in the form of the newcomer.
The doors unlocked and we had been able to see the smiling face of Kelsey. There were beads of tears coming off her pretty eyes.
"I'm so glad to see you Miss Valeska! I could not imagine what I'd do if… if…" she wasn't able to continue what she was about to say as she had totally crumbled to the intense emotions of fear and uncertainty she felt.
"Hush! We're here now, Kelsey. Everything's going to be okay." Adriana hugged the 16 year old girl in her arms and consoled her gently.
"I'm sorry, Miss. I…" Kelysey stuttered as she regained her composure after a minute in the embrace of my girlfriend.
"It's fine, Kelsey. You've been through a lot. Tell me, where's my parents? Are they alright?!" Adriana asked once more and a hint of dread came off her voice as she feared what she might hear from the teenager.
"They're resting in the back of the house, Miss Valeska. The heat inside the house is unbearable since the electricity was cut off."
Kelsey conveyed what Adriana wanted to know from the start that shed off loads of weight from her chest.
"Thank you dear God!" Adriana sighed in thanks and rushed to enter the house with me and Kelsey hastily catching up to her agile feet.
She couldn't wait to see her parents safe and sound with her own two eyes.
"Why are you alone, Kelsey?" I asked the teen when we were following Adriana. I looked fondly at the seductive sway of my girlfriend's hips as she hastened to get to where my in laws were.
"The guards and the rest of the housemaids left after lunch, Mister Lysander. They were worried about their families and the good sir and madam understood their plight and let them leave without delay." Kelsey replied.
"So that's what happened." I said softly and my doubts cleared up with her words. Kelsey wouldn't have left here because she had nowhere else to go to.

"I told you before, you should have let me bought a generator for purposes exactly as this one!" a female voice was heard of from the distance.
She always hated how her husband loved to think of the greater picture. They even had electric cars and look where that got them now.
Literally nowhere as they could not even go to the grocery store without their means of transportation. She had also obviously forgotten that they had no chauffeur as of the moment.
"It would only add pollution to our environment, dear. I will not stand and hasten the demise of our planet." answered a male voice.
They were relaxing under a majestic weeping willow that seemed to belong to the fancy of imaginations.
It was properly taken care of and provided a calming solace under the fiery heat of the sun.
The imagery was all green and the place appeared to come from fantasy with its vibrant colors and tranquility, an extreme opposite to what the rest of the populace experienced at this moment.
"MOM! DAD!" Adriana called to when she finally saw her beloved parents. Relief was clearly evident on her face and she tried to stifle a cry that threatened to fall at any time.
"Adriana! What are you doing here? Aren't you with that drug addicted parasite boyfriend of yours? Hmmmp!" the woman exclaimed in response.
She still was not satisfied with the choice of her daughter. Adriana could have been with princes and kings, aristocrats and billionaires.
Instead she chose a poor, money sucking illiterate from the suburbs. And a criminal at that. What a deadly combination indeed, she shook her head in disappointment.
"That was all in the past, mom. Seth is a changed man now. I had never seen him do any of those things when we are together."
