Hence, No shipping these two.
This story will be a mixture of a lot of tropes mixed together. For now the main trope is enemies to lovers. It will also follow a lot of characters, so I will try my best to write all of their stories perfectly.
It was raining cats and dogs.
I knew the weather would be bad, but someone did not believe me and wanted to go on a movie night.
And now after being stuck in traffic for 3 hours we are finally going home.
My mood was awful, so awful that I feel like killing him. Even though he is the only family I have.
If only I stood my ground, when he brought up the movie idea. I would be in my room reading a new novel on my Mobile Phone.
I turned to look at him again.

Eirlyris Hope (fl Past life)
"Why should I care if it is he/she. I am girl so everything that is 'it' is a she."
Rupert Hope {Fl's adopted brother}
"Yeah yeah."
After that little playful banter a very warm and peaceful silence filled the car. The kind that makes one feel comfort like a mother's embrace.
Then Rupert broke the silence slowly as if trying not to disrupt the peace.
Rupert Hope {Fl's adopted brother}
"You must be tired. I am sorry I didn't listen to you and forced you to go on this little rendezvous and got us stuck."

"Snow baby you have gone so-
Rupert Hope {Fl's adopted brother}
Bright while light illuminated my vision and In the heat of the moment, my body reacted before my brain registered anything. I moved the steering to the right.
Rupert Hope {Fl's adopted brother}
As The truck pushed the car with a violent thud. I felt a beep sound ringing in my ears, my head throbbing violently. Pain, hurt and fear. Was all I felt.
Rupert Hope {Fl's adopted brother}
I quickly looked towards snow.
Eirlyris Hope (fl Past life)
Rupert Hope {Fl's adopted brother}
Her eyes filled with confusion, she was bleeding. It broke more than the pain I was feeling.
Rupert Hope {Fl's adopted brother}
Then I felt the first slip, and at that moment my thoughts made me panic. No I can't die. I can't leave her alone. But I could feel my body slipping.
Rupert Hope {Fl's adopted brother}
I never imagined, I would understand. How one knows they are dying, but I do today.
Rupert Hope {Fl's adopted brother}
Tears welled up in my eyes. I can't die. I had so much to see. I haven't even seen her graduate or get married. I haven't taken her to trips. I have a list of promises I had to fulfil.
Rupert Hope {Fl's adopted brother}
Rupert Hope {Fl's adopted brother}
Because of the tears, my vision blurred and the darkness slowly started slipping in taking hold of my soul. I felt my eyes going in and out of focus. A sign that I was going to be unconscious and probably die.
Rupert Hope {Fl's adopted brother}
I tired to focus and look at Snow. My daughter. My sister. I wanted to tell her, I loved her. I am proud of her and I wanted her to live happily even if I was not here.
Rupert Hope {Fl's adopted brother}
I wanted to say soo much, but as I felt my will power slowly leaving my body.
Rupert Hope {Fl's adopted brother}
I pulled my hand upward with all the strength I have, to pat her head one last time and say everything one last.
Rupert Hope {Fl's adopted brother}
Rupert Hope {Fl's adopted brother}
My hand touched her head and I tried to say the words, slowly like a whisper, "E.....irl.....yri.....s-
Rupert Hope {Fl's adopted brother}
.......
Eirlyris Hope (fl Past life)
.........
Eirlyris Hope (fl Past life)
...................
Eirlyris Hope (fl Past life)
.............................
Eirlyris Hope (fl Past life)
I tasted a metallic taste in my mouth, the jerked me making me hyper aware of the pain, the throbbing in my head.
Eirlyris Hope (fl Past life)
Every fiber of my body tremble in pain.
Eirlyris Hope (fl Past life)
I looked to see dada crying and his hand moving towards me.
Rupert Hope {Fl's adopted brother}
Rupert Hope {Fl's adopted brother}
Eirlyris Hope (fl Past life)
I felt warmth as his palm patted my head. In seconds I felt safe, I dare to dream everything was okay. We were OK.
Eirlyris Hope (fl Past life)
Then his hand fell down in those 60 seconds, I looked up to look at his face. His eyes stilled in place..... I looked at his fallen hand.
Eirlyris Hope (fl Past life)
And I felt my word crushing, my heart beating loudly, my stomach churning.
Eirlyris Hope (fl Past life)
N̶o̶ n̶o̶ n̶o̶ n̶o̶ n̶o̶ n̶o̶ n̶o̶ n̶o̶ n̶o̶ n̶o̶ n̶o̶ n̶o̶ n̶o̶ n̶o̶ n̶o̶ n̶o̶ n̶o̶ n̶o̶ n̶o̶ n̶o̶ n̶o̶ n̶o̶ n̶o̶ n̶o̶ n̶o̶ n̶o̶ n̶o̶ n̶o̶ n̶o̶ n̶o̶ n̶o̶ n̶o̶ n̶o̶ n̶o̶ n̶o̶ n̶o̶ n̶o̶ n̶o̶ n̶o̶ n̶o̶ n̶o̶ n̶o̶ n̶o̶ n̶o̶ n̶o̶ n̶o̶ n̶o̶ n̶o̶ n̶o̶ n̶o̶ n̶o̶ n̶o̶ n̶o̶ n̶o̶ n̶o̶ n̶o̶ n̶o̶ n̶o̶ n̶o̶ n̶o̶ n̶o̶ n̶o̶ n̶o̶ n̶o̶ n̶o̶ n̶o̶ n̶o̶ n̶o̶ n̶o̶ n̶o̶ n̶o̶ n̶o̶ n̶o̶ n̶o̶ n̶o̶ n̶o̶ n̶o̶ n̶o̶ n̶o̶ n̶o̶ n̶o̶ n̶o̶ n̶o̶ n̶o̶ n̶o̶ n̶o̶ n̶o̶ n̶o̶ n̶o̶ n̶o̶ n̶o̶ n̶o̶ n̶o̶ n̶o̶ n̶o̶ n̶o̶
Eirlyris Hope (fl Past life)
I felt a knot in my throat, tears beaming down.
Eirlyris Hope (fl Past life)
Eirlyris Hope (fl Past life)
I reached out my hand to his fallen hand. Holding it firmly like my life depends on it, as if holding it will turn this into a dream, a nightmare.
Eirlyris Hope (fl Past life)
Eirlyris Hope (fl Past life)
I spoke in a broken voice, "D..ada (hic) dada....."
Eirlyris Hope (fl Past life)
Eirlyris Hope (fl Past life)
I cried and cried holding on to his cold and heavy hand.
Eirlyris Hope (fl Past life)
Begging him to open his eyes, screaming, pleading. I had long forgotten the pain of my wounds, my bloody battered body.
Eirlyris Hope (fl Past life)
I don't know how long I begged, cried, pleaded, apologised, screamed at him, at the universe.
Eirlyris Hope (fl Past life)
Just one chance, I can't live without him. Anything but My Dada, Anything but My brother, Anything but My Only family.
Last One Standing
I jerked a little in my dream, as I heard the continuous beeping sound. I opened my eyes, blinking slowly.
The light in the room sting my eyes, causing them to shut.
Slowly I breathe as I kept looking up front. Then I sit up with my back to the headboard.
My eyes slowly getting accustomed to the light.
I put my feet on the floor and kept looking outside the window.
...........................
I don't know how long I stayed in that position, the click of the door brought me out of my trance.
But I didn't look back as I heard voices behind my back.
I heard footsteps coming closer and gentle voices
Dr Keturah
"Miss Eirlyris"
I looked at the doctor and nodded.
Dr Keturah
"Hmm Are you feeling any pain."
Eirlyris Hope (fl Past life)
"No"
Dr Keturah
"Any headache or nausea."
Eirlyris Hope (fl Past life)
"No"
Dr Keturah
"Can I ask what is your last memory."
Eirlyris Hope (fl Past life)
"The accident."
A few minutes of silence went by.
Dr Keturah
"Do you remember the accident in detail or in short clips."
Eirlyris Hope (fl Past life)
"Completely"
Eirlyris Hope (fl Past life)
"Can I ask you something?"
Eirlyris Hope (fl Past life)
"How long was I unconscious?"
Eirlyris Hope (fl Past life)
"Hmm"
Eirlyris Hope (fl Past life)
"The funeral..... (gulped) May I know where..... He was buried......"
Dr Keturah
"According to his will he was buried near his grandmother."
Eirlyris Hope (fl Past life)
"Hmm."
Eirlyris Hope (fl Past life)
"When can I discharge."
Dr Keturah
"For now we did like to monitor your condition."
Eirlyris Hope (fl Past life)
"Hmm .....But I want to visit his grave."
Dr Keturah
"My apologies but for now we can't allow you to leave the hospital premises."
Eirlyris Hope (fl Past life)
"Oh!"
Eirlyris Hope (fl Past life)
"I understand."
Then the doctor continued to talk, asking question and recommending some tests.
I stayed in the hospital for the next 5 days. During that time on the 3rd day a lawyer came to meet me in the afternoon.
Lawyer Riaz
"Hello Miss Eirlyris Hope."
I looked up, returning a polite smile.
Eirlyris Hope (fl Past life)
"Hello"
Lawyer Riaz
"I am Lawyer Riaz. Mr Rupert Hope, has put me in charge before his death regarding the matters of his will."
Lawyer Riaz
"If you do not wish to hear know. I can always brief you on a later date Ma'am."
Eirlyris Hope (fl Past life)
"I am okay. Please continue." says in a polite tone
Lawyer Riaz
"Hmm. As The sole heir of Mr Rupert Hope , All the property and money Mr Rupert has will be given to you."
Lawyer Riaz
"I have also paid the hospital from that money. I will share with you all documents and all the receipts."
Lawyer Riaz
"Also all the funeral arrangements were also done from Mr Rupert money as you were unconscious."
Lawyer Riaz
"The documents and everything are in this bag both in soft and hard copy. You can go through them. If you have any questions, you can ring me."
Lawyer Riaz
"Here is my business guard. Have a save recovery Ma'am."
Lawyer Riaz
"My deepest Condolences Miss Eirlyris."
He got up bowed a little, in response I nodded, and he walked away.
On the 5th day, the hospital finally let me go. The doctor told me to join some therapy session to which I nodded.
I went home by taxi. The ride home was silent.
I reached the apartment building, took the elevator and opened my apartment door.
As the door shut behind me darkness welcomed me.
I moved and sat on the sofa, not bothering to switch on the light.
And my head move to a distant memory.
Eirlyris Hope (fl Past life)
Rupert Hope {Fl's adopted brother}
"What is wrong My snow."
I didn't reply and hugged him.
He hugged me back and said in a worried voice
Rupert Hope {Fl's adopted brother}
"What is wrong princess. Why are you crying."
Eirlyris Hope (fl Past life)
"I.... I"
I couldn't say anything just cried hugging him tightly.
Rupert Hope {Fl's adopted brother}
"Sheesh it is Ok. Dada is here."
Rupert Hope {Fl's adopted brother}
"Take deep breaths. I am here."
Time moved on, but I didn't let go neither did brother asked me to let go. In between his Mobile phone rang thrice, but he ignored it.
And I was too scared to let go.
I broke the hug and looked at him saying slowly, as if I wasn't talking but whispering.
Eirlyris Hope (fl Past life)
"I had a bad dream. It was a nightmare. You....... You left with grandma. I was all alone."
Eirlyris Hope (fl Past life)
"I cried for you dada, but you didn't come back-
And I started crying again.
Eirlyris Hope (fl Past life)
Rupert Hope {Fl's adopted brother}
"Sheesh it was just a dream. I won't leave you little snow."
Rupert Hope {Fl's adopted brother}
"I am not going anywhere. I plan to play with my grandkids."
Rupert Hope {Fl's adopted brother}
"Don't you dare say that I will die before you. I am going to outlive you princess."
Eirlyris Hope (fl Past life)
sniffs
Then he cupped my face and kissed my forehead.
Rupert Hope {Fl's adopted brother}
"How about I give you a promise."
Eirlyris Hope (fl Past life)
"What promise?" says with teary eyes
Rupert Hope {Fl's adopted brother}
"That I will not leave you."
Rupert Hope {Fl's adopted brother}
"I promise that I, Rupert Hope, will not die before my Only Sister and Daughter Eirlyris Hope."
Eirlyris Hope (fl Past life)
"You can't keep death promises Idiot dada." says laughing a little
Rupert Hope {Fl's adopted brother}
"Of course you can."
Rupert Hope {Fl's adopted brother}
"Dada will show you it is possible."
Eirlyris Hope (fl Past life)
"If you break the promise than I will follow you to hell and beat you up and go back to heaven."
Rupert Hope {Fl's adopted brother}
Rupert Hope {Fl's adopted brother}
"Cheeky brat.... Who said I am going to hell. I am the emperor of heaven."
Eirlyris Hope (fl Past life)
"Liar" says while showing her tongue and started running
Rupert Hope {Fl's adopted brother}
"You little chameleon come here today I will tickle you to death."
As the memory washed away hot tears streamed down her eyes.
She started shaking and crying siting in the dark.
Her dream from a year ago came true. Her dada, her brother left her, and she wasn't even present at the time of the funeral.
For a month and 6 days, she had lived without her Dada.
An Orphan, is a scary word because it means having no one. In a world twisted in good and bad. Being Orphan means being expected to take pity, condemn.
But for Eirlyris being Orphaned means
No Dada to make yummy food
No you can fight the world and fail
Because dad's got your back
No movie watching like siblings
And at these thoughts Eirlyris felt as if she lost her breath.
She started coughing violently.
She chocked on her tears, her body shoke violently. Like she was having a seizure.
Her tears didn't stop, she coughed loudly without halting, her trembled badly and each time she found herself gasping for air.
Until she slipped into unconsciousness.
