Aria sat nervously on her couch, anxiously waiting for Chris to pick her up for their friendly date. She couldn't help but feel a mix of excitement and apprehension. Over the past few weeks, they had both put effort into repairing their friendship after the shocking revelation that they might be expecting a child together. Though they were uncertain about their future as romantic partners, they had come to value and cherish their bond.As the doorbell rang, Aria took a deep breath and opened the door to find Chris standing there, a warm smile on his face. "Hey, Aria. Ready for our friendly date?" he asked, his eyes filled with sincerity.Aria nodded, returning his smile. "Definitely. Let's go."They walked hand in hand to the nearby park, enjoying the pleasant spring weather. As they strolled along the pathway, small talk filled the air, alleviating the initial tension. They discussed their favorite movies, goofy childhood memories, and somehow ended up in fits of laughter recounting
Chapter 131: A Twist of FateThe next day Aria went to her favorite cafe, nursing a cup of hot coffee and lost in her thoughts. She had just revealed to Chris that she was pregnant, and the weight of the news hung heavy in the air. She couldn't help but worry about how this unexpected turn of events would impact not only her and Chris but their blossoming friendship as well.Little did she know that lurking in the shadows, two figures were plotting their own agenda. Melissa and Briella, fueled by jealousy and a desire to keep Aria and Chris apart, had joined forces to ensure their plans succeeded. They believed that if they could keep them apart long enough, their growing connection would wither away.In a dimly lit room, Melissa and Briella hatched their malicious plan. Briella, a cunning and manipulative woman, whispered into Melissa's ear, "We need something big to separate Aria and Chris. Something that will make them question everything."Melissa nodded, her face twisted with bot
Chris got out of his expensive car with a flower and a card filled with words of apology to Aria, his ex-wife, he wanted to apologize to her but he didn't know how to apologize to her, nothing came to his mind.he stood outside the house wanting to knock on the door but he couldn't, his feet were fixed to the ground, he couldn't summon the courage to knock on her door, he was afraid that she would tell him because she had all the rights to, he just wanted to her know that he was sorry and he never meant what had happened, he didn't know what happened to him that night, he just wanted to turn back the hands of time and apologize to her but he didn't know how toChris sighed as he knocked on the door and then no one answered, he knocked on the door again and one answered but Chris was reluctant to leave, he was determined to get a positive response. he knocked again "Who is it" he heard, all the confidence he had a few minutes ago suddenly disappeared as he heard Aria, 's voiceHe could
Aria sat in her car, her hands gripping the steering wheel so tightly that her knuckles almost turned white. Tears streamed down her face, blurring her vision as she drove to the hospital. She silently prayed and whispered it wasn't true and she tried her best to keep her eyes on the road as she drove. She couldn't believe what just happened. She couldn't believe that there's a high chance now that Chris won't survive and he'll be gone. Gone for good. The love of her life, her soulmate, had been taken from her in an instant. She could never have imagined this happening at all. She never imagined it would come to this. Her phone had rung just a few ago, and when she saw the caller ID, she already knew it was either good news or bad news. It was one of Chris's friends, Mark, who called her to inform her. The trembling in his couch was unmistakable and Aria knew something was terribly wrong. She had barely been able to make out his words through his sobs but the message was clear.
The sun burned brightly in the sky, casting a warm glow in the city. The heat of the sun wasn't too harsh , it was just perfect. The warmness created abwarm feeling in the heart of those who walked under it. The same couldn't be said for those who were in Graceville Hospital. In the midst of the warm sun, the hospital was wrapped in a gloomy cloud. Different emotions swept through the halls of the hospital. Those who had lost their loved ones or who had a loved on in a critical condition, carried heaviness in their hearts, while those who were getting better, or were being discharged from the hospital had smiles on their faces. Chris sat in one of his bed in one of the VIP rooms in the hospital. He was looking out into the city from the windows, admiring the city's scape. The buzzing of his phone brought him out of his reverie, bringing him back to the real word. He picked his phone from the table beside him. The screen of his phone illuminated with a soft glow, resonating to life
Brielle sat in her car trembling in fear as the car tumbled before her eyes. She placed her hands over her mouth as they trembled. This was not what she intended. She sat there speechless as tears rolled down her cheeks. And ambulance was called by the passerby and everyone began panicking, there was a fuel leakage and the people were going insane. No one dared go near the car, it could blow up at any time. “Where is the ambulance, where are the fire fighters, someone do something!” The people yelled as they gaze at the car. Kade flickered his eyes opened as he looked around in awe, he panicked as he noticed he was still inside the car. He grunted as he struggled to break out of the car but he couldn’t, the seat belt was stucked, pinning him down to the chair, he noticed a flow of blood surging toward him, he arched his brows as he looked around him but he wasn’t the one bleeding, he wondered whose blood was it and it dawned on him, he was in the very same car with Aria. He looke
Chris was shocked and gazed at Kade in annoyance, what sort of home was this? "What nonsense are you spitting right now?" Chris lashed out, he turned to the doctor in the room and glared at him. "What is doing on right now?" He demanded gazing at him. "Well there were some complications due to the impact caused by the accident and he seems to lose fragments of his memory." The doctor explained but Chris still wasn't satisfied, the last person he could think of helping was Kade because of the pain he had caused him. "Why not reach out to his family instead of putting the burden on me?" Cnris asked, it's not like they couldn't reach out to his parents since they were well-to-do, they would cater or him or take him to the asylum. "Well, no one seems to respond when we contact his relatives." The doctor explained but Chris didn't want to hear any of that, he already had his burden to carry and didn't want to carry any extra. "I'm not his family member so why would I take him along wi
"What?" Chris stared with wide eyes. "How could this be?" He thought out loud, gazing at the nurse for answers. "The doctor would be here soon and would give an explanation to your every question, I'm only here to be sure she's in a stable condition." The nurse in the room informed him before walking out of the door leaving him in silence, Chris stared back at her and she had a frown on her lips. "Who are you?" She tilted her head staring at him curiously but still maintaining the frown on her lips, she seemed irritated to see him and hated his presence. "I'm your husband," Chris explained that she didn't seem to process them well. "What nonsense are you spitting?" She rolled her eyes gazing at him. "Aria please believe me, you had an accident and-" "Quit the whole ordeal, do I look like I care?" She grunted just then a doctor barged in with a few nurses to check up on Aria, Chris was forced to leave the room even though he had so many questions that needed answers, he paced aro
The morning dawned with a delicate shine of sunlight, promising warmth for that day. The sunlight peered through the curtains casting a soft glow on Melissa's face as she slept. Gradually sensing the heat and bright light from the sun, she blinked her eyes open, adjusting herself into a comfortable position on the bed. The space beside her was empty, Chris nowhere in sight. "Maybe he's working in his study." She muttered to herself, trying to sit upright. Chris now worked from home because of Melissa. He wanted to make sure that she never got to stress herself during the last few months of her pregnancy, and that he was always there whenever she needed him. He only went to the office if the situation needed itTwisting her neck sideways to relieve them of it's stiffness, her hand instantly went to her protruding belly, rubbing gentle circles around them as a smile played on her lips. It felt like yesterday when they were unsure of their love, but now a year had passed. Gradually
Melissa stared at her wedding gown with joy plastered on her face. She had begun preparing for her wedding and was more than excited, she had asked her friend Daphne to come help her out in choosing her wedding gowns since she could not make up her mind.Cnrid had recommended that we go to a luxury "Isn't this perfect?" She turned around to ask her friend Daphne."Sure, it suits your sling but I feel it may be too heavy for you to move around," Daphne suggested while staring at the dress. "Why not try another?"The staff beside them pointed to a series of other options to choose from but Melissa was confused and didn't know which one to take."Have you found the one you like?" Chris's voice erupted in the room and they turned to gaze at him. Melissa gazed at him illuminating her face with a smile, she walked towards him and embraced him in a warm hug."Not yet, I still haven't made up my mind on which one to choose." She pouted her lips gazing at the numerous gowns available. "Why do
Chris had taken Melissa on a vacation trip so they could enjoy their moment together and get to know each other more. He also took it as a time for her to take a break from all the stress that had happened to her."Aren't these gifts a little too much?" Melissa pouted gaznng at the mirror admiring the silver dress he had bought for her."You deserve the world honey don't worry too much about the worth of the gift I'm giving you, after all the most expensive thing you've given me is your heart and my money can't be enough to buy that," Chris said as he caressed her lips placing a kiss on it."Don't flatter me." She looked away shyly, he gently pulled her close to him and looked away and gazed at her."I mean every word I tell you…. Don't for once doubt it." He leaned on her chest and smiled. "I love you too much to play with your heart."."What do you think about going out for dinner later this evening?" He asked gazing at her curiously. "It's okay if you don't feel like it." He added.
Weeks had passed since the whole incident and Chris was finally getting better although had to walk around with a walking stick to aid his movement, on the other hand, Melissa was still admitted to the hospital and still unconscious.It had saddened him to know that she lost the child but thankfully she was still alive. Chris walked into the ward with fresh flowers to put in her room so she could have a nicely scented room."Good morning princess." He smiled at Melissa laying in the bed and the only thing he got back was the beeping machine noises that assured him she was right.He walked towards the flower vase replaced the old ones with the new ones he had just brought and walked to the chair to sit beside Melissa's bed. "Wale up soon okay?" He gently lifted her hand and placed a gentle kiss on it. Her skin had gotten paler and when he had brought it to the doctor's concern, he was told that it was because she was still unconscious and when she woke up, she would get back to herself
"What?" Melissa was stunned to see Aria and glanced at Chris."She's with Alex." He forced out the words and gazed at Melissa."Such a whore." She mumbled and pulled out a gun from her pocket aiming at Aria."You have a death wish, don't you? Stooping so low that you spread your legs for every man you see.""What the hell do you know about me huh?" Aria lashed out."I know that you're a whore, that's for certain." Melissa shrugged her shoulders, Chris had finally noticed the way Melissa dressed as an officer and tilted their head wondering if he was making things up."Why are you wearing this?" Chris asked her curiously."Long story short I'm an investigator." She gave him a quick smile before gazing at Aria who was also shocked at the discovery."So all this while you used working with him as a cover-up?" Aria smirked. "Wouldn't it be shameful if they knew how you got pregnant?""That is none of your concern!" Chris raised his voice at Aria."Don't you dare raise your voice at me!" S
"Ya'll better start talking or I'm about to pry you all open." He threatened pulling out a gun from the back of his trouser. "What the hell is she here?" He asked referring to Aria who was glaring at him furiously."You seem quite energetic for the day but I'm afraid you're interrupting a heart-warming scene," Alex smirked."Aria come here right now," Kade ordered her but she stood firmly in the ground."Who do you think you're talking to honey" Sir folded her hand on her chest and smiled, Kade was somewhat taken aback, he could sense a change in her and wondered why she had behaved like this all of a sudden. "You had better watch that mouth of yours.""Just what do you mean by that?" Kade demanded, he was furious. "Are you still going to choose that bastard over me?" He pointed to Chris who remained quiet and hung his head low."I doubt that is the situation here." She threw herself onto Alex and smiled."You better get away from her or I will blast your head off." Kade threatened hi
Several days had passed and Chris hadn't heard from his brother or had anything to eat, he was slowly losing his mind and the smell of blood enveloping the room picked him so much."It's been a while." Alex's voice erupted in the room and he the door creaked open, Chris struggled to lift his head and gazed at him."He needs treatment." He turned to Marcus who was laying weakly on the floor. "He has nothing to do with this, why does he have to suffer?" "You seem quite healthy for someone how head starved." Alex lit up a cigarette gazing at Chris coldly. "Answer me!" Chris demanded but Alex still wasn't bothered by his question."I'm slowly going to drive you to insanity to the point where you would beg me to end your life but I would not," Alec said, puffing the smoke in Chris' face and laughing. "You should see your face right now.""You psycho!""Well then, why didn't I invite a very special guest huh?" He whispered into Chris' ear.Chris couldn't help but wonder who it could be an
"How can it be?" Chris gasped. "You… died.""Well as you can see it's my spirit taking revenge on you." Alex laughed sarcasticallyChris was still in shock and hadn't recovered, he recalled that after that incident he was been blamed for the death of his step brother who couldn't be found, and was taken to his grandmother's place to live till he grew up and had never heard from his parents because they had cut him off."You faked your death?" Chris gazed at him in annoyance."How could you do such a thing to me?" Alex pouted his lips looking like a maniac."I never intended to do so, but now that I think of it I should have pushed you harder so that you would truly die." Chris stared at him waiting for some sort of explanation. "So you're telling me because of a little incident you caused this chaos?"The ringing of Alex's erupted the room and he turned around walking out of the room without any more words. Chris turned his gaze to Marcus who was still unconscious and frowned.Melissa
The cold freezing water flowing down Chris' body caused him to jerk up up I'm shock, panting as he tried to catch his breath and survey his unfamiliar surroundings."Wake up Prince Charming." He heard a familiar voice echo in his ear, he gazed at the man standing in front of him dressed in an all-black attire that gave off chilly vibes. "I don't have the entire day to wait for you."Chris winced in pain gazing at the man who hit him, his entire body ached and he felt intense pain in his head as warm liquid seeped out."Who are you?" Chris asked glaring at him."What are you so keen to know who I am since you would be dying here?" "At least I remember you once I'm out of here and you're six foots under…. Sorry, I forgot no one would be burying you." Chris chuckled amidst the intense pain he was feeling."You haven't changed have you?""You know it's bad manners not to introduce yourself." Chris frowned at him trying to get a view of his fave behind the mask and suddenly felt a sense o
