Elementary Virtue: The Prophecy Read Free

trying to calm down his hysterical pregnant girlfriend. 'Thanks very much Leyla,' he thought to himself. Why couldn’t this damn teenager at the least wait to cause troubles until after Cyndra’s pregnancy? Maybe he should try to have a word with Leyla. It would eventually help to calm Cyndra. He had no idea, but he thought if everything continued like this, his highly sensitive girlfriend would go nuts during pregnancy. Possibly, even cancel the planned wedding.

Leyla
    Leyla was sitting on her math homework trying hard to concentrate, but it was a complete waste of time. Her thoughts kept on drifting, and there was nothing she could do about it. Nearly three weeks had passed since Gregory left and there was no mail, no text, in short terms, no vital sign of him so far. She was worried sick about him. What if something had happened to him? He had solemnly promised her to get in touch as soon as he arrived in Sicily. The uncertainty drove her crazy, as well as being grounded probably forever.
    Yesterday her parents had a bad fight because of her. They had different points of view concerning the empty bank account. Dad had taken her side and wanted to go easy on her. Mom had been furious and on top of it, she almost lost it when she found out that her father, Leyla’s Granddad was involved in it. Granddad had become a - persona non grata - for her mom. Even her uncle and her aunt had apparently dug up the hatchet and announced their arrival next week. Leyla sighed, how did she get into this whole mess? Even the only opportunity to get out of her room, - school - was torture. Constantly she felt Brooklyn's compassionate look on her, let alone Melissa’s gloating expression. Not even her Judo sessions could take her thoughts off her misery. Even though Judo was the only possibility to leave home apart from school, it was literally, the way to take the edge off and blow off some steam. She felt like a prisoner and had no clue how long her life would continue like that. She decided to take a break from math to watch some YouTube Videos and switched on her laptop. Brooklyn had become an absolute fangirl of this new Canadian Teen Star even Aiden was slightly irritated by her behavior. The Songs were all over the Radio. She had to admit that at least one song was brilliant, and she liked it because it was so beautiful and sad. Each time she listened to the song "Crazy," she burst into tears, which was not any different this time around. Determined she wiped the tears from her face searching for a song to cheer her up. There it was, this was the song that was to improve her mood. "Better to be loved." She started tapping to the beat of the music, humming the catchy melody to herself when the doorbell rang. Since she was home alone, she had no choice but to go for the door. She shuffled downstairs, not being too enthusiastic about the interruption and opened the door.
    Quincy, her mom’s business partner was standing in front of her, looking at her suspiciously. "My God Girl, what’s the new look, are you becoming what they call a punk? Now I finally get why your mom is in such a bad mood." Leyla frowned, what was wrong with her look and why would he care anyway?
"Hi Quincy. Mom is not home. She's at the dentist. I think she 'll go back directly to the studio," her voice took a slightly irritated tone that made it quite clear that his appearance was disturbing her. Leyla hated being disturbed lately, and would rather linger in her room all by herself sulking, and listening to some depressing music, which matched her mood. She tried to close the door, but Quincy seemed more persistent than usual and was apparently not willing to let her chase him away by her chilly manner. He even squeezed his white Nike Airmax into the crack of the door to keep her from closing the door on him. With his round tanned face, his sad brown eyes, the sorrowful forehead wrinkles, and his flaxen blond hair, apparently treated with an extra dose of gel
