Reflection

Inside a spacious laboratory with several doctors and researchers.

A figure clad in red sat with poised elegance as several fluids flowed into her veins, her whole body was in pain, however a smile settled on her thin red lips in cruel satisfaction

"Mom" Olivia called as she rushed over to Oona's bed side "I told you not to be careless Olivia! Yet you never listen" Ophelia frowned at this granddaughter of hers, her eyes moved to Oona who was plugged to several machines and her heart ached

Her precious daughter...

"Mom" Oona's voice was weak and hoarse "that bastard!" Ophelia cursed as she walked over to Oona's bedside taking Oona's hands in hers

"Mom…,she's still my sister!" Oona argued "what sister hurts their sister this way! You were brought back half dead... and you brat! How many times have I warned you to stay away from this matters!" Ophelia snapped at Olivia

"mom….."

"grandma" Oliver stepped forward shielding his twin sister Olivia behind him "I could have lost my precious daughter to her negligence, what…..?can't I punish her anymore!" Ophelia was livid "mom calm down" Oona sighed tiredly

She really didn't want to be in the midst of their arguments

Especially when her overly protective mother was involved

It was too tiring

"I was the one who told her about it, you can't blame Olivia! Zosia's only growing stronger plus she's going against mother" Oliver spoke up quickly

He feared his stern grandmother would send Olivia to the reflection dungeon

Which was a place crueler than death

Even he as a full grown 25 year old man hadn't recovered from the trauma of that place

How then his fragile twin sister

"I was only looking out for mother…..she sabotaged all mom's plans" Olivia chocked on her tears

"I told you to stay out of it didn't I?" Oona frowned, she could already feel an headache coming on and this daughter of hers

Was itching for some discipline and punishments

"I was worried mother" Olivia trembled seeing her mother's frown, her legs buckled and she fell to the ground "She's death itself Olivia! You can't br careless! What if you were killed!!" Oona snapped and Olivia trembled even more

"Mom what do you mean?" Oliver asked as he pulled Olivia up to stand leaning on him "what do I mean?" Oona chuckled coldly "I mean you can't offend her! Her obligation is to protect you both with her life! And now you're ruining it all" Oona sneered coldly

Her children were brain dead fools more reason she couldn't be at ease leaving them alone

"She's a living human being with choices Oona!" Xenir frowned as she walked in with several vials in her hand "it's none of your business what my daughter does to that thing" Ophelia frowned

"You're also her mother!" Xenir frowned even more

Was everyone crazy out here

Or she was the only crazy one?

She needed answers

"Whatever Oona wants of her, that she'd do even if she's to take her life! Soon I'll capture her back to serve by my daughters side….. look at the condition Oona's in because of that bitch!" Ophelia cursed loudly

"Well if you all had listened to me and left her alone, all this wouldn't have happened but no one listened! She was already injured yet she couldn't even rest yet! She had to fight like for fuck's sake! She's human!" Xenir snapped throwing the vial to the side, she stormed out angrily

She really couldn't take it anymore

The aroma of freshly made food lingered in the air, a warm welcome for Riezekiel who was mostly used to coming home to the empty apartment and cold walls

"Wife" he smiled as he walked in, while Zosia brought more dishes to the table "husband…." She sighed as she finished serving dinner and sat "you don't seem to be in a good mood" Riezekiel inquired while slowly taking off his combat uniform

"There's no meat, and the fish in there….how do y'all eat that!" Zosia asked outrightly and Riezekiel chuckled "the fish is toxin free" Riezekiel replied cooly

"Do you cook?" Zosia asked directly, she was feeling tired of the whole thing

All the delicious dishes she could eat would be limited if she continued to stay here and there was no way in hell, she'd skip on delicious food

"I don't know how...." Riezekiel replied and Zosia nodded in understanding

If he didn't cook, he surely won't understand her grieviances!

"Let me put it simply" she sighed "the things in there are toxin free but disgusting, I mean to say terrible! Is this what being wealthy feels like out here then I really wanna be poor" she rolled her eyes in disdain

"Then what to do?" He asked as he dug into the egg custard, by the side was a bowl of fine rice and stir fried vegetables "the vegetables on this table, I picked in the mountains, yep they've got toxins in them. From low to medium to high toxins in them" Zosia inhaled deeply

If she wanted to eat well, this husband of hers was her only hope

"You can't eat things with radiation in them" he frowned, staring at her skinny hands and small frame he frowned even more

His wife was seventeen years old but here she was looking fourteen!

If one didn't look at her full chest and butt they'd think she was even eleven with how short she was! And he was no pedophile!!!

"Well the common folks out there have developed a way to eat this things" Zosia rolled her eyes "Toxin free are the best" He disagreed leaving no room for argument, he lowered his head and continued to eat

He could only say this simple meal was the best he had eaten in a long time

Well there were good chefs however toxin free foods were more preferable than the risk of eating this vegetables with toxins

"Can I plant some seeds in the greenhouse?" Zosia sighed "mm" Riezekiel nodded

After dinner, he fished out a vial liquid from the master bedroom "it'll help neutralize the toxins from the food" he handed her the vial liquid and drank one for himself

"Husband!" Zosia frowned "what? Do you wanna get sick now?" Riezekiel asked coldy as he watched her reluctantly down the liquid

"I'll have someone send you some vegetables from the green house" Riezekiel added as he prepared to wash up "No! I already said I don't want them!" She protested

This man was impossible to deal with

"Ryker and his team would be going into the mountains tomorrow for a mission, they'd bring back mutant beasts. You can make your pick then but the greenhouse will send vegetables for us to eat! That's the only healthy way to go about it" Riezekiel replied sternly and Zosia frowned even more

Was this what it was like to be married?

Could she get a divorce
