Devastated and unable to face his reality, he runs to the internet in search of distraction. His encounter with a single mother not only swept his life into a whirlwind he never saw coming.

The Sky is Not Blue

I heard a loud sound resembling an industrial fan, and I looked out to see a mosquito shaped helicopter landing in my compound. Samuel rushed out and came bursting through the door like a tornado and punched Christopher's face so hard that they both staggered from the force of the impact.


"Oh, look. It is the knight in shiny armour to the rescue of his whore. I am impressed, but chill, brah. I did not harm your little family yet. It all depends on how you behave."


"Are you alright, Debs? Did he touch you? Is Princess Sam all right?"


"Yea, we are fine… just a little shaken."


"Ha… ha… ha Princess Sam? She is even bearing your name? Damn, brah. This is nothing short of hilarious. Of all the women in the world at your disposal, and you chose her to carry your child?" He threw his head back in laughter, and Sam took a protective stance between us.


Sam shook his head at me. "Do not say another word. Debs. I will handle this."


What is with the Harrison men and shushing me today? Gosh! I am so frustrated.


"I am curious. What happened this time around, brah? You are usually more careful than this. Was the pussy too sweet that you forgot to wrap your little Sam?"


He screamed and grabbed his bleeding nose as Sam delivered a cartilage breaking punch to his beak.


"Do not worry, brother, I will be a super sweet uncle to your little bastard as long as you give me whatever I want from now on. Else, you, my honourable brother, will curse the day you fucked the bitch without a condom." Sam punched him again, breaking his nose. He staggered to the floor from the force of the impact and held his nose.


"This should be the last time you utter any derogatory words about them, and if you ever come a mile close to them or touch them, you will regret the day you were spewed into this world. Now, take your utterly disgusting self out of here. You are bleeding all over the floor."


"I have waited for this day a long-time, brah. I prayed for a miracle and she appeared. Do you think I will let you get away easy just because of your girly punch?"


"What do you want? I know you want something to keep this secret, so say it and get out!"


His chest vibrated with anger, and Chris began his senile laughter that lasted longer than it should. He inched closer to Christopher until they were presumably an inch apart.


"You will hear from me. I finally got you, Sammie. I will make sure I make your life a living hell. You will regret this day your brother because of a woman."


He dashed out the second he finished his speech, and I released the air I did not realize I was holding.
