Robert got home and poured himself a drink into a cup half filling it, bourbon to be precise. He gulped it down in one go, he felt the hot sensation against his throat as the drink slid down in his throat into his stomach. He took another gulp but this time he drank directly from the bottle, draining it to half of the bottle.He sat down on the floor in front of the couch in his sitting room, his feet on the floor while he raised his knee, his hand resting on his knees. The fear he felt at one of the Brenti’s hotels where he just had dinner at a few hours ago, he raised his head to look at what the time says on the clock that was hung on the wall opposite him, two-thirty, it was already way past midnight, he watched as the clock ticked slowly as each seconds pass by. He was sure that he had concluded the dinner at the hotel and left when it was some minutes past nine. He had hurriedly headed straight to the hospital where Hazel was admitted. He had drove here in fear and was pantin
Robert laid on his bed with his eyes closed shut and waiting to drift off to sleep.After turning and turning for hours sleep did not come to him at all, he stood up and went to pour himself a drink, sitting in front of the couch with his back bent and a bottle of bourbon on one hand while a glass cup was placed on his second hand. After hours of drifting in to thoughts, he raised his head up and throw it back with a sigh. No one can have everything go his/her way entirely, no one can have all his/her wishes granted, huh?Robert asked himself with a slight frown on his face, he looked at the things that adorned his sitting room, if one comes and looked at his assets, everything he owned now, he was sure that the person will surely have the mindset that he is happy when he would really trade all this properties just to have Hazel by his side today, from that exact moment, he will give anything he have just to hear a call that she is conscious or to be by her side when she blink her ey
Robert yawned as he made his way to the kitchen, he was clad in a tight white singlet that showed off all his muscles, his chest was very visible, on the lower part of his body he was clad on a gray jogging pant. He brewed coffee for himself and walked out of the kitchen to the pool at the backyard of his house, sitting on one of the chairs there while sipping from his cup of coffee slowly, he let out a sigh of relief as the incident of last night came rushing back into his head. He was really grateful to have gotten information about the evil deed that Antonio had committed which was enough to put him into prison and bring back memories that is sure to hurt him and distort his thinking faculty. Robert was sure that at that moment after he had mentioned Baldwin to the hearing of Antonio it was Alec that took over the wheels, Antonio had fallen back, it was said that the memory haunt him for a long period of time that he had to visit a therapist for a min period time, the incident l
Robert waited for the answer patiently, after the sheriff had sighed he had thought that he was going to say the answer but it was like he opened his mouth and shut it back immediately like there was a force or a promise preventing him from saying it. One thing he knows is that the police loves their images and they would do anything they can just to preserve the image, then their image must have been threatened then with something one of the boss at that top had committed. Antonio is as cunning as a fox, he can do anything possible just to let things go his way, he don't care what he have to do. Dropping this video on the internet will surely bring ugly comments about the police force and it will also tarnish their image completely. "Or should I drop the footage I have of that incident on the internet so I can get your official statement then?" Robert asked, using his fingers to drum on the table, he was beginning to lose his patience already. There was still silence like the she
Robert drove his car, his hand shaking on the steering wheel, he felt his life spun around like the wheels of his car. He pressed on the throttle, he wants to scream. The words of the doctor who was in charge of his wife's case echoing in his head. "I'm sorry but I am not sure your wife will be cured from that poison. The cure to that poison is purely beyond human. I'm sorry but not to give you false hopes here when I clearly know that there are none. We can't study that poison, it defies biology and there is no way to create an antidote to it" the pharmacist had said sadly, he was about to push past Robert but the latter held him back. Robert cleared his throat after gaining the attention of the pharmacist, he didn't want the pain in his voice to be clear. "Um… how much will be needed for you to go on with finding the cure–"The pharmacist cut in and had push up the thick medicated glass up the bridge of his nose and closer to his eyes, "it's all going to be futile here, only if
Robert’s heart beating loudly in his chest that he could hear the sound of his heart beating in his ear. Praying silently that his heart wasn’t playing tricks with him at all. Robert tilted his head slowly to look at the person that just talked behind him, the frown on his face, slowly gave way to a smile. A smile that held little rays of hope. Like Lucian had known his answer before he gave him a reply, he never came back after a week like he had promised. Robert’s heart leap with joy, Lucian had appeared when he needed him here the most. Though he was not pretty sure that it was Damien’s handwork yet, but he had a strong believe that it had to be no one other than him and now he can confirm it all in the hands of Lucian. Lucian had to, he have to know the answer to the question in our heart, he have to have the solution to what is causing our heart to beat with pain. Robert turned back again with a puzzled expression while will an old man be putting on a hoodie over his head,
Robert knew there was going to be a catch all along, he had even studied Lucian’s face and he could tell what the catch was it was all about him coming back to the clan and taking his rightful position like he had always wanted“It’s a win for a win kind of deal to me” Lucian began and looked at Robert’s face to study his reaction before continuing, “You will take your rightful position back in the clan and I will treat your wife for you” “You should see it as Damien standing in between you and your wife ‘cause that is how it is. Damien knew your weakness and that it is Hazel, that is the reason why he came for your wife, even I knew that she was your weakness but I never expected Damien to act in such a cruel and foul way” Lucian added with anger visibly written all over his face.He turned to look at Robert and he could see the fury plastered on his face. “I am saving your wife and you are saving the whole clan. I guess you value and love your wife but I value and love the clan m
Robert shouldered open the glass door to the lobby doors of the Penfolds Industries open with a smile on his calm face, he was a bit relaxed and almost all the workers noticed it, his aura was clearly different and they noticed that his blue eyes shone with life today unlike the past few months. After his meeting with Lucian last night, he knew that he was surely going to have the solution to whatever is wrong with her.He had woken up this morning and promised himself to smile throughout the day. He had asked himself what Hazel will do if she was in his shoe. She would definitely smile as if nothing is wrong. He exhaled out loudly.He walked towards the elevator meant for the executives with his hands buried deep in the suit pocket of his suit pants. There were three elevators arranged there, one for visitors, the second one for staffs only and the third one for the executives only.This main office building is unique after all it is the headquarters of the Penfolds Industries, i
