Side Story (Satiana and Jack) (3)

(Satiana's POV)

Aunt Leticia and my brother Gladiolus were sitting in the lounge area. The maids have brought them refreshments while waiting for me. Before entering, I took a deep breath and walked inside.

"I hope I did not make you wait." I said while entering the lounge area.

"Not at all." Aunt Leticia turned around and gave me a warm smile. She looked exactly like my mother that it made me pause for a moment.

"I am happy to see you again, Aunt Leticia." I walked towards her. She gave me a big hug when I approached.

"Oh my. You have grown into a fine young woman." Aunt Leticia complimented. "I hope you are doing well."

"Yes, I am doing fine." I replied fighting the tears that were trying to come out of my eyes.

"Why are you crying my dear?" Aunt Leticia saw my mask and that had broken any defenses I made to fight the tears.
