About time
~Lauren~ Thank you' were the first words he spilled My brows furrowed, for what exactly? 'For staying by his side..' he responded as though he read my thoughts. 'Christian is a good friend to me, it's what I ought to do' He inclined his head, sucked in a breath then levelled his gaze to mine. 'Promise me. You won't betray him.' I shook my head rapidly. 'I would never do that'. 'You see, Lauren. He's been betrayed by people he loved the most his whole life. Starting from me who never found him while he was away, his mother who left him in an orphanage home, his adopted parents who tried to sell him off to a pimp because of their son.... Then, his step brother. It seems as though it's never ending.' he sighed heavily. My heart churned painfully as I tried to imagine little Christian going through all those shit. He definitely has had his fair share in all of these and doesn't deserve any more pain or betrayal again. 'I won't. I'll make sure not to. I promise'. He swallowed up

He lost his wife
Tiffany~ Today is supposed to be the last day of Courtney Logan's session before her surgery. I made excuses to the doctor as to why I should be away but he wasn't having any of it. Guess I've really no option than to face her. I had no reason to put on my sun glasses or mask anymore. She already knows it. Who I really am. Time slipped through and it was 4:pm prompt. I arranged her file on the doctor's table and we both waited for her arrival and just in the last minute, he got an emergency call into the operating room. A patient had been involved in a fatal accident and needs an emergency surgery. 'Attend to Miss. Logan when she arrives. I'm not sure I'll be out of there soon' he mentioned. 'How about I leave her to another nurse, her brother doesn't want me to attend to her'. I smacked my lips right after the sentence especially when he discharged me the quickest death glare I've ever gotten in my entire life. 'You should do it,. Nurse Tiffany.' I didn't get the chance to dare

Failed Plan
~Joan~ Rhodes came in from the kitchen, handed me the bar of chocolates I requested. He'd been acting as my care taker and guard at the same time, also helped to keep my father away these few days. That doesn't mean we got any closer whatsoever. He still remains cold, indifferent and so much annoying. My father did reach him severally to ask about my where about but he kept telling him he knows nothing about it. He really kept to his promise of keeping me away from my father for the mean time. We both had thought my father would take a break after hearing about Audrey Hepburn and how he tried to kill Christian Forbes because of his inheritance but the old man never gives up. We made a deal. He asked me to leave his house and promised that if I do so, I wouldn't be disturbed about arranged marriages or dates whatsoever. Fuck the reason he's not keeping to his own promises. I munched on the chocolate bar, the blanket wrapped tightly around my body. 'Is it cold today? Or it's just me

A nightmare come true
Lauren~ The weather was as gloomy as the atmosphere. The clouds were gathered. Making it seem like there's going to be a huge downpour on the cementry ground. Days had passed into weeks, weeks into months and situation of things continued to worsen. Linda won again. Evil won. Christian was still on that hospital bed, taking longer than he should take to wake up. I had overhead a nurse once telling her colleague that she, (Linda Forbes ) had added some poisonous substance into Christian's drip bag which according to her allowed his condition to deteriorate. As if that wasn't enough harm to cause, she did went for the chairman again, leading him to his death. A reason why we all are gathered here today 'The chairman died from a major, sudden heart attack.' she sure made everyone believe that but not me. I knew she was the murderer and I'll make sure to search for evidence.. as much as I can and tame her with it. Evil isn't gonna win, I wouldn't let it. The unalive body of Chairman Fo

Confusion
Adrenaline kicked in with utmost strength and fright knocked me out so bad that I sensed I would be thrown around by some panic attack. I made my way into his ward room and found Linda just in time, drawing up some liquid into a syringe. It was strange. The nurses would never leave their job for the patient's guardian to handle. Images from my nightmares flashed in my memories again.. my eyes widened in fear. What if this was it? What if she really was trying to poison him and this was her means to do that. I barged into the room without contemplating much on it. She jumped when she noticed someone else's presence join her in the ward. She quickly put away the substance and as I predicted, put on a wry smile. 'Oh, you startled me, Miss Lauren' I matched the energy, flashing her as well a fake smile. 'I'm sorry if I did, Mrs. Forbes. I forgot my stuff here and I came back to get them' She frowned, casting furtive glares at me. She flipped her hair, her shoulders squared and her head

Reflection
Lauren~ I totally forgot I was supposed to go out on another date with him. It was an idea he initiated so it'll be easier to know more about the 'company'. At least, so he told me. I bowed my head, relief Washing through me. He had thought I was at the hospital because of my ill brother. Meaning, he is still in the dark about the truth. 'I'm sorry, I promise to never repeat such mistake' I uttered enthusiastically. 'So when are we rescheduling our date to?' I sighed inwardly. That was obviously what mattered to him right now. Going on a DATE. 'My brother should be up and doing in few days. I'll make sure to alert you after then' He nodded once. 'I will keep your word close to heart. Don't disappoint'. Once he gave me the go ahead to, I fled out of his office, acting like a bird that has just been freed from its cage. The receptionist motioned for me, asking to know everything the president had discussed with me. 'Did he scold you?' I shrugged my shoulders. 'We only talked

Metallic
~Christian~ I had Brian drive me off once I watched Lauren drove home firstly. All she told me still ringing in my head. Linda told on her son, she then attempted to steal all our properties before making an effort to eliminate me. Trying to eliminate me is something I really understood considering the fact that she hated me from the beginning but giving up her son to the police? That was beyond my understanding. 'How about the man we abducted weeks ago?' 'He is still under our watch, sir. We tried getting information off him like you ordered before falling into coma. He was adamant'. 'Drive me to him, right away'. 'It'd be better you see the chairman first sir and take things over from him. It's been all hectic lately which is bad, considering his health.' he suggested. 'Let's do that'... I got enormously attention the moment I stepped out from my car. Workers of the company bowing slightly as a sign of respect once they noticed me, engaging in indistinct chatters. They were a

Determination to get me married
~Joan~With every minute that passes, whoever outside ringing the door bell grew impatient. I ran down the stairs, racing towards the door to check whoever was outside when Rhodes pushed me aside.'He's here'My forehead wrinkled. 'Who is he? Be specific'.'Your father.'.I felt dire that moment. How did he know? What was he here for? I didn't want to believe Rhodes was right.'How do you know? He can't be here. He doesn't know where I am'.'Now he does. I'm not sure how but I'm giving you my word that it wasn't me.. if you don't want to meet him, you can take refuge somewhere, I'll make up excuses for you'..For the briefest second, I saw concern flash through his eyes. He was as worried as I was, the only difference being he's in the least worried for himself. He was scared for me instead. I forced down the bile in my throat. The door bell rang again, accompanied by unfriendly banging on the door. 'I'll answer it' he shoved me aside and went to the door.Once he did, he bowed light

Enquires
~Joan~ 'I hope so too but I really don't want to risk it so I won't regret..' 'It's not necessary to move. I can assure you it's not going to work out. Chairman Forbes is nothing like your father. He wouldn't use his son to get more reputation or sales for his company. Forbes Consortium is soaring high on its own' he reminded I inhaled deeply. 'So you're proposing I relax myself?' 'I am' 'I should also inform Lauren about this before hand. It's better she hears it from me than someone else.' Rhodes inclined his head. 'Whichever one works for you. It's better than leaving the country.' he stated, leaving me to myself there after. His reaction sometimes makes me believe he actually has something for me as Lauren claimed and the other times, I usually doubt that. I wanted him too. Not for a long term relationship. A sex partner will do. I've always had wild sex fantasies. I wanted him to fulfill them.. everyone of them. The question remains how I'll get him to do that when he's li

Lift me up
Tiffany~ The tension in his aura was readable. The way he paced the reception at sudden intervals made me want to offer comfort to his disturbed mind. His sister, Courtney Logan was in the theater room, getting her surgery done and he really isn't helping himself this way. Although, I watched from a distance.. I doubted it if he really didn't notice me. Ever since that day I spilled the Truth about our relationship to his sister, we barely conversed. He felt betrayed and I, guilty. I did the right thing, anyways. The truth would have still ended up coming to the lime light either ways. 'Why the hell are you standing in my way, Miss Tiffany? Don't you have an appropriate place to be?' I spun around to notice the bald headed nurse who just spilled his complain. 'I wasn't standing in your way!' I strongly defended. 'Oh. So the new development now is you're partially or totally blind? I see. That's why it's hard for you to discern the right place to be!'. His complain was meaningles
