Eric so must estimated for this morning, it's the morning he has been waiting for even in his dreams so as to be able to see his aunt who at some point in life, he loved more than his mother. Erica was even the reason of him visiting, after his mother. He had declined the request but upon remembering Erica, he decided to come check on her, only to hear this bad news about her. The compound becomes busy at around 7 PM, he wakes up to the sound of people chatting and the chirping of the bed over the trees, he them remembers the good old times, then he was younger and all these meant a great deal to him. Now life has driven his focus more into mature things, he want to make more wealth and secure his relationship with loved ones, especially Raine and help his son grow to see Raine as his real mother. That's his dream, to build a family with the two of them, and then add up with one or two kids. He yawns, tries to stretch himself a bit before walking out of the bed to the window where
"This is not what we planned to talk of today, please we will discuss about this some other day. I wish it would never come!" Eric mutters the last sentence in such a way that only him can hear himself speak. There is nothing he wants as far from his mind as thoughts of Scarlett, she really tormented him, he should be tormenting her in very many ways possible but because of the huge duties he has, he has no such time yet but wishes to have soon. Scarlett had made her cry, he can't wait to make her cry. Seeing that Raine has gone so suddenly to a partially depressed mood, he walks to her, drapes his left hand over her shoulders, looks into her eyes and first of all gives her an assuring stare. "You would always be mind, don't let anything worry or disturb you. He is just saying what comes to mind as a little child, you are my wife." Eric assures her, putting back the hope which had started evaporating high up in the atmosphere, the hope of being his forever and always. With this encou
Slowly and reluctantly, he turns only to see Erica that was lying lifeless sitting up and staring at him with fixed eyes, eyes not blinking. At once he regrets ever staying here alone, his motion ceases automatically due to the shock he is subjected to. He stares at her with a lifeless expression, like a dead body made to sit up, he doesn't understand why he can't even blink his eyes. What's going on here? The same question repeats inside him, he wants to scream the name of the doctor but not even a single word would come out of his lips, out of fear, he attempts to run away but his legs wouldn't leave the ground he was. "This is really bad!" He mutters, accidentally causing it to be heard by Erica whom he doesn't know if she is now alive or under some mysterious influences like zombies. All he wants is to get off her presence and be where people are but he just can't rise up. "Eric, so after many years we are finally meeting?" Her voice resounds in the room, the sweet melodious v
Eric brings out the gift he had brought for Erica, puts it on and selects the music he wants to be played alongside, no longer the very emotional ones but one that would signify the love they have for each other. Erica starts to shed tears as it plays, she sees the longtime pictures she took with Eric and how he had really grown up. She still thinks perhaps he is just who he was, not knowing his grandfather had handed over his billionaire empire to him. "I'm so happy to see you today, I had lost hope of ever seeing you." She pulls Eric into a tight embrace, shedding more tears as she hugs her. Tears starts trolling down from Eric's eyes, tears of joy. He had imagined how losing an aunt who was his soul mate and showed much love to him than his own mother would be like. When he heard that she was in the morgue, he knew it was over, he started feeling it and it isn't what he could relay to someone. Then the miracle he had always heard of happened but in the most unpredictable way that
"No, what would make you think so? OK, now I can't hide this from you any longer. I want to ask what really happened to you, how long have you been in this hospital?" Erica gives him a surprised look. She knows that before he asked this question, something is amidst. Normally, she would want to return a question back to be cleared but Eric's persistent faze wouldn't let her. She bows to pressure and replies. "One month and two weeks, the doctors said I wasn't going to spend up to or more than two months, I would die. They told me it was cancer but I doubted where this cancer came from because before this happened, I had always visited the hospital for regular checkups, not this particular one and they never dictated anything only for me to fall sick and my sister took me here." "How did it happen, can you tell me please?" "Sure, I can remember that I hate a food cooked by your mom and then two days later, that's of eating her food, I began feeling strange inside me, like my chest
Eric orders him to change the figures to the correct money and he has no choice but to comply lest he loses his job. After this is done, he goes on over to the cashier and pays the money, taking Erica out. She can't spend a second in the hospital. He takes her down to the waiting room where Carlos and Raine are, a different one from where his mother is, he doesn't wish Erica and his mother to meet, a fight might occur and he is not ready to separate a fight. He asks Raine and Carlos to come with him, taking Mako along. Raine walks up to his side and leans towards his ear. "Aren't you taking your mother with you?" He stares at her with a warning expression and if not that she is the girl he loves would have shouted at her. He comport himself and ignored the question. He couldn't ignore for long, he turns towards her. "Do you expect me to pick her up in my car?" He smirks and turns back, everything becomes clear at this point to Raine, his reaction answers everything. He wanted to dr
Eric arrived at the hospital with Erica, seeing their regular client, they came out to welcome her. The doctors whom she had been visiting ask why they haven't seen her for so long and she began telling them the story of her life, how her sister poisoned her and when she was taken to the hospital she has her uncle as the medical consultant, she was diagnosed with an irreversible cancer, it had grown to be the worst stage. She couldn't spare a word but had to tell them everything without reservation. Since the doctors sat, looking at her, they couldn't shift on their seats in the general office, they froze. "Can a sister do that to a sister?" The first doctor asks in surprise, folding his arms across his chest. "Of course, it's a reality, some people have wicked hearts." The second doctor remarks. "What did you do to her?" The third being the only female in the group asks. Erica shakes her head vehemently. "I didn't do anything to her, Eric, my nephew is my witness. She points
"Hello dad!" Eric is the first to say a word as his dad approaches. "Hello," he replies in his joking style. "You both don't wanna sleep tonight?" This immediately drives Eric to peering into his clock and he discovers that it's 11 PM. "Oh my God, it's late." He exclaims. "We are coming soon." Erica replies. "We were just having a little discussion about his forthcoming debut and guess what, the new thing he said?" She asks him. "No," he sits. "Let me join your conversation." Erica and Eric laugh at the amusing way he just made his statement. He takes his seat in their midst, making himself comfortable. "I don't even think we should go to sleep now." He says. "How is Raine and Mako, have they gone to sleep?" "Yes Eric, you don't expect them to stay up till this time, even Raine would love to, Mako wouldn't let her and you know that Mako doesn't feel comfortable without Raine, she is to him just what Erica is to you." They burst out laughing. Actually he is saying the truth
