Lauren's POVI couldn't control the muckus that kept drooling down my nose. The thought of Aiden being ignored by the doctors because they didn't hear from me or get any money sent to them for the treatment. Had my head reelingI will never forgive Christian, if anything happens to my brother and I wouldn't mind going to jail because of him. I would kill him and burn his deadbody. My body ached from all of the tussle and my throat itched painfully.The scream I had let out at burned at my chest badly. The door opened again and the woman who I had seen by the house entrance when I was being dragged in. Walked towards me with a tray in hand.I swallowed a dry spit at the sight of the water glass in the tray she carried. She calmly placed it on a nearby stool, with her eyes filled with pity she fed me the water. I would have refused, not knowing if I was about to be drugged.But, her aura gave off that of a good person. I gulped it down my throat like I had been starved for years. Today,
Christian's POVScrolling through my phone, I hissed at each post of the attack that had happened earlier I'm the day. It's almost midnight and they are all going crazy over the comments. Many of the blog posts have written more fabricated stories than I would have imagined actually happened to me. I had to leave the confines of the house and take the bicycle towards the end of the road where a gadget store, where WiFi could be used. The house and it's surroundings don't have reception and that was the plan for the house. Far from all of the city rustles, however I had called for some installations. Just that I need something else to hold Lauren down and prevent her from making any crazy call.I sighed, texting Donna. Instead of replying, she opened up a video call almost immediately. That lady has nothing like courtesy in her dictionary. If I wanted to see her face, there wouldn't have been a need to text first.Sighing, I picked the call. "Learn to seek for permission before carry
"It still doesn't answer the question, Christian. Lauren cheated on you, does that mean you should become a monster?" I kissed my teeth, "You know nothing about this, Dora. Just let it be.""She has a brother who is on a sick bed and his life fading out! How did you not know about that?" "That's a lie, she has no brother!" I argued"How about you call the same hospital you pick her up from. What is wrong with you, Christian. When did you lose your humane conscience. If she cheated,then you let her go. Both of you going on your separate ways. Don't act so petty and expect your wounds to heal." Dora huffed"Who exactly is this brother and why do I not know about it?""Maybe, you would have known if you cared to listen.""Listen to what exactly? We were together for four years and I practically know nothing about her. How do you think that makes me feel?" "Like an actual fool." She replied to me bluntly.I hissed, pushing the bottle away from me. "That woman had me giving her every pa
At 15 hours, the guard who was asked to go to the hospital (Maybean Hospital) for confirmation about Lauren's brother came back with a positive news confirming truthfully that Lauren's brother Aiden Palmer has been admitted for almost 3 years his life and now and his body is depreciating day by day, and the doctor attending to him, which is Doctor Shelby told the guard to tell Lauren to hasten up with the money for his operation on or before two months or get ready to transfer him to a better hospital because of the lack of enough materials to cater for his medical needs. When Christian heard this from the man sent, he put his hands on his head, confused and finding every piece of information given to him was true, he was having a mixed feeling his pride was telling it was not his fault, while his other thought was telling him that he should have given her (Lauren) a chance to explain herself seeing him in that situation. He decided to leave the bar to let Christian think, Christ
~ Christain Forbes ~ In the process, a sound popped up which was a knock on the door.. 'Boss! Boss! It’s Donna, There’s an urgent call' I charged for the door with a face of hidden anxiety. Too much was already happening and it's not even 24 hours. Donna moved closer to me, brought her mouth closer to my ear in an attempt to whisper the information to me. 'Audrey is trying something funny in your absence..' A sigh escaped my lips.. Audrey again? When is he ever going to give up on all of these.... ,'Stay right there. I'll be back in minutes' I told Lauren before proceeding to exit the room. 'Let me the fuck outta here... You monster!!!' I heard her yell after me but I paid no attention, there's a more crucial matter at hand and I need to attend to that. 'What is this about?' I asked Donna in haste. 'He's trying to rob you off your position. He called for an emergency board meeting some minutes ago...' Donna briefed 'When's this meeting taking place?' 'In eighteen hours.
~Christian~ 'Prepare the jet. We're heading back to South Carolina' I said to one of the men closest to me few hours after the board meeting came to an end. Donna was suddenly interested in me the moment I surfaced into my office. I scoffed when I met her on my seat, drinking from a Bordeaux bottle. I took the seat in front of my desk, tousling my hair tiredly. 'Were you able to convince the board members?' Donna curiously questioned. I released my Tie knot and carefully drew it out my shirt collar. 'Seems I need not worry about getting robbed off my position that much. I've got enough members on my side' Donna leaned in on the seat, twirling in it softly. She crossed her arms on her chest. 'So you're saying Audrey lost to you?' 'Not entirely, he's got support from few of the board members also but most already pledged their loyalty to me considering the fact I'm the real son of my father. No one's ready to get on my wrong side.' 'Alright. She released a breath. 'A relief it i
***Christain**We arrived at the facade of her studio apartment. The doctor had informed that she took a day off work because of her birthday.. I picked up her present from behind me and alighted the Tesla, muttering a 'here we come.' Personally, I would have sent one of my men to get this done but the way my dad insisted I do that myself left me no option. 'She's your savior after all' his words ring in my head.'Sir. Do we need to accompany you into her apartment?''Just wait here for me, I wouldn't take long'...The more I walked closer to her doorstep, the louder the music playing from her room got. It was a solemn kind of music... I think calling it blues would be appropriate.*Knock, knock, knock.After repeating the same process for almost two minutes without getting noticed, I hit the door harder, yelling at the top of my voice. The music unexpectedly died down and a soft, gentle laced voice came from within.'Anybody out there?'.'Miss. Tiffany, It's Christian Forbes'Silenc
~ Tiffany ~They say sometimes, not all wishes come trye but that doesn't stop you from trying your luck at it. The words slipped out of my mouth before I could stop them. It was what I really wanted. I loved him and I wanted the privilege of having my first sex with him. I gazed fixedly at him. 'Please, don't blame my request on the alcohol' I mouthed.He drew away from me, with every step get took farther, my heart shattered. 'It's definitely the alcohol, Miss Tiffany. I can't do this... We can't do this... I better get going' he trudged at the door knob, struggling to get it open. It didn't take him long to realize it was locked.'Christian.. It's not the alcohol, I swear, I've always wanted this... Just once from you. I promise I won't bother you anymore' I pleaded.I sounded desperate to me, appeared like my life depends on his decision or agreement to make love to me. I couldn't blame me. No man has had me feel this way since middle school. Now that I have one more opportunity
