Chapter 4 Dead

• It has been a long time now to me….. or should I say that I felt as if it has been more than a long time.
• My wife left me in this cruel world, to take care of our daughter on my own.
• With the help of my housemaid, I was able to take good care of her, but my little angel was now suddenly turning into my worst nightmare.
• The little kid won't allow me to close my eyes for just a second.
• Staring at the little fragile baby……. I felt like blaming her, because if she was just so cooperative, then Merritt won't have been dead right now.
• Today makes it nine days…… since my wife is no longer with me.
• I have been crying all day, and whenever the sun kisses the sky….. I cry.
• 'Wah!'. The sound of the crying troublesome baby was heard.
• 'I can't take it……. I really can't take it anymore!'. I chanted to myself, before carrying the baby in my arms.
• I know that I'm currently going to be named a bad father, but all that I need right now is for this baby to disappear away from my presence.
• Driving my small white Camry car….. I started searching around the big city, for I'm currently looking for an orphanage home.
• Life without Merritt is useless, and life with Harper is going to be more miserable.
• Franklin continued to drive around the city for hours until it suddenly started to rain.
• And finally, when or was some minutes past eight o'clock in the evening…….. Franklin steps out of his car while carrying Harper in a basket.
• The child has been crying all through the time that he was driving, and Franklin made sure that he doesn't feel sorry for her.
• His life hurts him like hell, and removing bad memories is the best idea for him, which is one of the reasons why he doesn't want Harper anymore.
• She's his flesh and his blood……. But having to feel for that is impossible.
• According to doctors who have come to my Mansion countless times…….. they have all proclaimed that my daughter is fine….. but she doesn't look fine.
• No normal child would have two different strange colors of eyes, for it's impossible.
• Her eye, which is located to the right is gold, while the other one is purely hazel eyes…… as it continues to change frequently.
• The child looks healthy, but she cries more than any ordinary kid.
• Her cry sounds like that of a monster…… and not that I take my baby for a monster, but everything that she possesses seems scary.
• If Merritt was here, then I know that I and she could both sort this out, but Merritt is dead…… and so is my love for this creature.
• I glance at Harper for the last time……. Before shaking my head sideways.
• "I won't miss you Harper…… for you have to stay at a place that suits you perfectly". I said to the small kid, who couldn't even hear what I'm currently saying.
• Inhaling and exhaling one last time……. I placed the child on the floor, before pressing the doorbell of the large gate.
• I didn't wait for anyone to come out, before driving away.
• It was raining heavily, and I was Damn cold.
• The cloud was also dark, and lightning struck all over the sky.
• I had to know if someone would come out to pick Harper up, so I stopped my car, and hid somewhere far away from the orphanage.
• I waited for two good hours……. Yet no one showed up.
• As much as he hates to believe that this child is cursed……. I still find myself praying for someone to take the child in.
• She's just nine days old, and she has been in the rain for two hours.
• I sighed, before turning around to make my way back to my car.
• I drove off with a smirk on my face because I can now kill myself in peace.
• Meanwhile, when it was exactly three hours…….the security guard suddenly opened the gate of the orphanage, because he was expected to guard and inspect the environment…… before midnight.
• "O my God!..... What is a precious diamond like you doing over here?". The security guard asks little Harper, as he picks the child up.
• She was cold….. Damm was cold, but she was still breathing, and her eyes were both shut.
• The security guard looked around, to see if he could see the parents of the kid, but didn't see anyone.
• He took Merritt inside the orphanage home and gave her to the head staff.
• "I saw this fragile creature outside!". The security guard said.
• The orphanage home used to have a lot of nurses during day time but at night……. Only two nurses stay, just in case of emergency, and they usually have shifted.
• The head staff, who's more like the lady that runs the orphanage called out the two nurses, and they immediately started to tend to the child right away.
• The child was breathing, so that was a good start, but she hadn't opened her eyes yet.
• One of the nurses whose name is Nelly changed the cloth of the baby, while the other nurse gave Harper some injection and some baby medicine.
• "She's going to be alright!". The head staff said while reassuring the nurses.
• They were all about to leave the child in the ward, but then they heard the loud cry of the baby.
• 'Thank God!. She's finally awake!'. They all chorus, before running towards the child.
• The first thing that they saw was a pair of golden eyes and greenish hazel eyes.
• "Arrrghhh!". They all screamed, except nurse Nelly. Because they were terrified of her eyes.
• Little Harper also screamed out loud, before closing her eyes.
• "Huh…… why did she stop crying all of a sudden?". Nelly asked no one in particular.
• Closing the distance between the child and them…… they all became more than terrified because the baby looks so plain.
• Raising the little kid up……. They shut their eyes wide open.
• "SHE'S DEAD!!". Nelly screamed, as goosebumps suddenly filled her entire body.
• *Meanwhile*
• A guy was also staring at his window while allowing the darkness of his room to swallow him whole.
• "She's dead Lucas….. so go and prepare for the sacrifice". Prince Orlan Titan said coldly.
