Chapter 87

Sheila's point of view

"Sister?"

The words echoed loudly in my ears, I could feel my insides become still. The cold that feasted on my bare feet traveled through my bones to my chest. I held my breath, as my body began to swerve around slowly.

I turned around, and immediately, I was welcomed by those piercing deep blue eyes that were identical to mine. I couldn’t push back the tears that formed at once just staring at the deep crystals of my older brother, Leonardo.

My lips trembled against each other.

"Sheila," he said in a low tone, as his eyes regarded me cautiously in disbelief, and maybe confusion.

I abandoned the traitorous words that failed to leave my lips, and without holding back, I pushed my legs in motion and closed the lonesome gap between us.

I raced into his arms, clutching my arms around his neck. It took him a second before I felt his warm hands envelop me.

"Brother," I broke down in tears as the word left my lips.
