~~☆ CHAPTER 75 & 76 ☆~~ { FINALE & EPILOGUE}
Liam stepped towards Ca-ssandra and twirl her around so that she could stare at his fierce face.
” What the fu-ck are you talking about!. You want to die?. You need someone to hand you a gun, huh?. Are you running insane!” Liam kept shouting.
” Yes, Liam. I am very insane right now!!. I want to die, can’t you see!!.” She spoke back and Liam’s eye’s instantly calmed off.
He took a gun from the police and for-ced it on her frail hands.
” Try and let see, Mom. You want to die right, there is a gun in your hand. Shoot yourself, if you can dare your precious life.” He said.
Ca-ssandra looked at the gun in her hands and swallowed de-eperly, having no intention on using it on herself.
The view of the gun in her hand was enough to make her get high blood pressure.
May looked at Rosa and Rosa turned to find Mr Kim face who was also watching the intense scenery.
” Oh. Now You feel scared, right. You can’t take your life anymore huh?. You left prison and the next thing you want is to kill yourself, huh???.” Liam glared at her.
She looked at Mr Kim and her hot breath pinched the skin below her nose, the gun trembling in her hands.
She had never held a gun in her entire life, talk of using it on herself.
She sniffed and quickly dropped the gun on the floor, moving back a bit.
” I will kill myself, but in the right way.” She said
” Oh. You haven’t changed your mind yet.” Liam sighed as he looked at her with hate.
” I’m…sorry.” She fell her head immediately and a silence erupted in the room.
She continued as tears pricked out slowly from her eyes.
” I’m sorry for causing pain to your wife, Liam. I’m sorry for ruining your Marriage, Kim. I’m also sorry for Ray, for endangering him into all this. I know it would be very ha-rd for you all to forgive me, so perhaps, my life is worthless right now.” She said and raised her head.
” Ca-ssie, I believe your life isn’t worthless. You are only making it your perception.” Mr Kim said.
” We are also ready to forgive you, Ca-ssie.” Rosa chipped in.
” Forgive me now because. . .” She leaned down and picked up the gun. ” Because it might be too late for me to hear them.”
” What are you trying to do?” May quickly asked, widening her eyes.
” What does it look like to you?” She scoffed and May used her eyes to search for Liam.
He had been quiet, silently watching her and listening to all she was saying. She wondered why he wasn’t saying anything.
Ca-ssie picked the gun to her head.
? No!. Don’t!!!
” Don’t move!!!. I am going to shoot myself right now and i think that will make me feel better.” She said.
” You wouldn’t dare it!.” Mr Kim yelled.
” Please. Some of us still care for you. We all do. Don’t try to push the trigger.” May said, bit-ing her li-p in pain.
” Oh. So you all care for me now. Woah, I’m loving this” She laughed like she was turning insane.
” Mom. Drop the gun…” Liam voice pricked at his thickness and Ca-ssandra looked at him.
” I thought I was toxic to you…huh?. When did I become your mom?” She said and laughed loudly.
” Ca-ssie. You can’t take your life now, you don’t know how much ruin you will do to this family.” Rosa said.
” But Someone said I don’t belong to this family.” Ca-ssie said and looked at Liam who in turn, bowed his face in embarra-ssment.
He remembered telling her that she didn’t belong to the family and his gut feeling was returning back slowly.
” Look people, if killing myself would be my worst mistake, let me do it now and never remember” She said.
” What about those who will remember, huh?. I know your life hasn’t been equally good but you are out of prison now, you can start a afresh. You can try and make yourself better.” Liam said, trying to make some sense into her head
” Says the son who locked up his mom in prison.” She scoffed and Liam fisted his wrist.
” I want to beg you right now Mom, please drop the gun. Drop it or you’ll regret it” He said.
” I won’t be alive to regret anything.” She scoffed and pointed the gun to her head.
? Gasp!!!
Liam tried to rush towards her and her fingers adjusted on the trigger.
” If you come close, I’ll kill myself instantly!” She warnex and Liam had to remain in a sp-ot, su-cking air hardly.
” Don’t do it, mom!” He gritted.
” This is my choice. No one is living my life for me.” She said.
A tear pricked down her eyes one after the other as her hand trembled, while the gun was still on her head.
She slowly closed her eyes and breathed in heavily.
Liam could sense that she was about to push the trigger, he quickly rushed towards her but he wasn’t fas-ter than a bullet.
She shot her skull immediately!.
? No!.Noooo!!!!
She suddenly fell her hands and her eye balls rolled to a corner, making her fall on her feet.
? Ca-ssandra!”
? Oh my God!!!!. She isn’t breathing!!”
? Let’s take her to the hospital.
? Why would she do this to herself!!
They all rushed to her one by one and realised she was bleeding from her skull.
Liam was still standing a feet away in absolute shock as he stared at her deceased body.
He walked lifelessly towards Ca-ssie and they all paved way for him.
He lifted her up in his arms and began to match out of the mansion.

HOSPITAL **
May was patiently sitting next to Liam on the hospital breaches as she waited for the doctor.
Mr Kim, rosa and the rest where all hanging and moving about restlessly.
The doctor finally came out after what felt like forever .
” Doctor.” May was the one to stand on her feet cus she was still a bit strong after the incident.
” I’m sorry, Ma’am. Her survival was limited. She couldn’t pa-ss it.” He said and Liam looked up as if he was surprised by the news.
” She didn’t survive.?” May eye’s swelled and the others instantly joined her to hear the news.
” Yes. She couldn’t survive it.” He said sadly.
Mr Kim took the doctor shirt.
” Doctor. You need to do something about this. Ca-ssandra can’t just die. Please save her for us!. Please doc!” Mr Kim pleaded with tears filling his lids.
” It was a bullet and it was shot on her head. What do you expect?.” The doc said and Liam dropped his chin for a while.
He began to look around with a troubled face, wondering if his day wouldn’t get any worse.
He stood up and started to walk out of the hospital and May saw his broad back retreat away.
She kept walking very fast towards him as her heart clenched in pain.
” Liam.” She called as she ran. They were outside the hospital now and the cloud had turned dark and gloomy.
When she managed to stop in front of him, she glanced at his eyes.
He wasn’t upset or happy, his eyes didn’t feel like it contained life anymore.
” Liam. Liam are you okay?. I’m sorry. Please don’t feel thorn apart. I know its ha-rd to digest the news but we can’t do a miracle and wake her up, yunno” She said.
Liam looked away from her face, striving to be calm inwardly.
” It’s my fault. I should be blame for everything that been happening to my life right now”
May stretched her palm and cu-pped his chin dearly.
” No. It’s not your fault, baby. You shouldn’t blame yourself. She refused to listen to us. She wanted her death”
” Listen…
” You have me. You have Rosa, you have Mr Kim. Your brother, Emperor and my sister, Mitchell. We are all here for you even tho Ca-ssie managed to leave our midst.”
” I know.” He sniffed, pinching his dry eyes close. ” She is my mom. You know how it feels to witness your own mother’s death right in your face. I’m so pained, May. I’m completely broken” He said
She looked at him, roaming her eyes around his face and also sharing part of his pain. How was she going to MEND his heart after he mended hers.
” Liam.” She called and he opened his eyes slowly to look at her.
” Promise you’ll smile for me from now on?” She said and Liam breathed de-eperly.
” Why are you asking me to smile in this case?. i should be crying somewhere alone and just hating life now ”
” Remember you made a promise to always smile for me right?.” She asked and he swallowed.
” I only made that promise because it was necessary at that time, May.” He said.
May looked down for a while, trying to make a different plan on her head.
” Liam. The baby wants you to smile.” She said and Liam glanced at her tummy.
” I don’t think so. I’m sure they feel as much pain as I am to hear of their grandma’s death.” He said sadly.
She stood on her toes and pec-ked his cheek, smiling at his face.
” Smile for me baby. Even if it’s just a sm-irk.” She said and Liam looked away from her tiredly.
” You don’t seem to un-derstand what’s going on inside me right now.” He said.
” Come on. Try to be cheerful!” She giggled and Liam formed a fake smile that didn’t reach his eyes.
” It’s fake.” She pouted.
” How do you know. Smile is smile.” He said.
” No. I won’t accept that one. Smile genuinely.” She poked his nose and he tried to walk away.
May instantly hopped in front of him and stopped him again.
” Smile, brother Liam…Smile…” She teased him, hugging his stomach and Liam chuckled, forming a bigger smile.
” Why did you call me that?” He laughed, covering his eyes.
” Woah. You are smiling already.” She rejoiced.
” Gosh. I can’t believe you could make me smile this big despite my anger right now.”
” Happiness plays a big role in our life so far. I hope it remains permanent in out heart.” She said touching his che-st.
Liam palmed her hands that was on his che-st and he smiled again.
” You are right.” He said.
He kis-sed her hair and went in slow motion to kis-s her li-p once again.

SOME MONTHS LATER…
CHURCH YARD**
The family had gathered at Ca-ssandra forth month remembrance. Everyone was wearing black clothes.
Liam was on a thick black coat as he approached the grave that Ca-ssie name was written on.
He dropped a rose flower on it and stood up. May came as well and dropped a flower next to it and Emperor followed behind.
After the whole family had placed their flowers on her grave, they held hands around in a circle to mourn her pa-ssing.
” Rip to Ca-ssie.” Mitchell said sadly.
” Her soul rest in peace.” They all responded.
They left some minute of silence before they all departed from the grave vicinity.
Ray walked to Emperor with sunny following him behind.
” My condolences on Ca-ssie’s pa-ssing.” He said, resting his hands on his shoulder.
” I’m glad you are slowly changing for the better, Ray.” Emperor said and Ray fell his heads.
” I’m sorry I betrayed you.” He said and Emperor grinned.
” You don’t need to apologise a hundred times. The good thing is you won’t return back to your past.” He said and Ray suddenly took him for a brotherly hug.
” And since you and Mitchell have been married, I and Ray have decided to find our own shelter somewhere else.” Sunny said.
” Oh!.That will be very very nice.” Mitchell winked at her and pulled her out of their midst.
They walked to a corner and Mitchell held her hands.
” So he finally noticed you?” Mitchell asked and Sunny bit her li-ps, turning her head to look at Ray.
” Don’t know for sure.” She said and Ray saw she was staring at her. He suddenly winked at her seductively.
” Oh my God. He just winked at me!” She blus-hed, covering her li-ps.
” Don’t worry. You guys will be a perfect match. Let’s say- Let’s start expecting a wedding by next year.” Mitchell smiled and Sunny could only giggle.
May walked towards them.
” Hey girls..” May waved.
” Our new momma.” Sunny said and May blus-hed red. Her belly was now visible un-der flay her dress.
” When are we expecting our twins?” Mitchell asked.
” Huhnnn!” May sobbed cutely.
” What’s the problem?” Mitchell asked.
” She doesn’t want to have triplet for me.” Liam joined their group, throwing his hands around May’s shoulder.
” Is That so, May?. Are you allergic to twins?” Rosa asked after perceiving their conversation.
” Twins?. Do you know how ha-rd it is to push one baby out. Huh?. Stop calling me momma twins” She said.
” Momma triplet!. Come beat me!” Mitchell poked her tongue.
” Stop it. I’m gonna cry now” May giggled and Mr Kim and Emperor joined the unit.
” Since everyone are making May’s baby known, Let me introduce to you our soon to be mummy. ” Emperor said bringing Mitchell forward.
” Ugh.” Mitchell rolled her eyes.
? Woah!. This is really Wonderful.
? Our next Momma triplet
? This is great news
They all blabbed with happiness and Mitchell grinned at Emperor.
” You are so done for after we leave here Emperor. I wasn’t even ready to show them yet!” Mitchell whispered and Emperor chuckled loudly.
” I had noticed it since the last time we gathered here. You added weight so unusually fast” Mr Kim said and Mitchell scoffed, folding her arms.
” Everyone. It’s getting dark.” Ray approached them .
” Yeah, Let’s prepare for home to avoid traffic as well” Rosa said and everyone disunited their gathering.
Their were two large expensive limo waiting for them at the road side
Liam walked towards the grave again and looked very pathetic while pocketing his hands.
” I’m sorry, mom. I failed to un-derstand your feelings, i was caught up with anguish. I’m sorry that you can’t witness this joyful days. I’ll see you next month” He said and sighed.
He turned his back to finally walk away.

FIVE YEARS LATER **
LIAM’S OFFICE
Liam was very busy in his office when the door opened like gangsters had rushed in.
His two beautiful girls, Ellison and Elsie, ran in with their uniform.
” Dad!” They yelled and Ellison climbed his body hastily while Elsie climbed his desk.
” Oh geez. My two kung fu are here.” Liam laughed and stood up, carrying up Ellison.
” Who brou-ght you guys here?” He asked.
” We told mom to take us to your office today cus we were curious” Ellison said.
” Surprise!” May blurted and walked in.
” Mummy!!!” Elsie and Ellison said in unison.
” My babies.” May wide-ned her eyes and Elsie jumped on her happily.
” Woah daddy. Your office is so big. Where’s your boss?” Elsie said and Liam met Elsie already going to his laptop.
” Don’t touch anything you see or my boss will fire me. And by boss, I’m referring to your mom.” He said and the two girls both laughed.
” How’s your day, hunny” May asked, kis-sing his li-p sweetly.
” Gross!!” The two kids shouted covering their eyes and the couples laughed.
” My day was great, baby. I’ve you and the kids eaten something?”
” Nope. That’s why we came here.” She said and Liam left his table.
” Okay guys. Let’s go to the restaurant to eat something together, I promise to make it spectacular.” He said.
” Yeahyy!” The kids rejoiced.
” Dad who do you love between I and Elsie?” Ellison asked as they left the office, walking towards the elevator.
” Your mom” Liam grinned with a sm-irk and May smiled at him.
” Huhhhnn!!!. Dad is So unfair!!” They shouted making the couples laughed.
THE END.
