“You can always give it back if you still think that the price is outrageous.” Michael stretched out his arm but Calix held back the bottle and huffed.“I could seriously tag you as a thief because of this.” Calix rolled his eyes and waved at his driver who walked out of the car handing Calix a check and pen, he quickly wrote the amount and signed before giving it to Michael. “Here you have it.”Without wasting any more time she quickly made her way to the hospital, her heart raced so fast that she thought she was going to pass out but she soon reached the room where her mother was admitted, entering the room she was worried about seeing the doctors looking in pity, she thought it was all over and that she was probably too late. Alice quickly made her way towards her with a worried gaze.“What did he say? Is there any chance?” She asked curiously.“Of course there is.” He rolled his eyes not giving her any acknowledgement and turned his head to the doctors. “How is she?” Even though h
The doctors all stared in shock that the pill had indeed worked, making their expertise seem worthless, and that they even felt terrible calling themselves doctors.“How is it possible that such an unknown pill could heal her in a short matter of time?” The older doctor muttered with a baffled gaze as he stared at Vera who was very much full of life.“Why don’t you give us a pill so that we could make a research with it?” The younger doctor asked Calix who was still mad at him for what he had said earlier and punched him in the face causing him to stagger backwards groaning in pain.“How much more stupid do you want to be?” He glared at him wanting to punch him again.“Calix darling, come over here.” His mother’s voice made him pause and he quickly made his way towards her with a smile. He had almost lost her and here she was back to her old self. The doctors quickly left the room before any more situations may arise.“Mum I’m glad you’re okay, thanks to this pill you’re back to yours
“There’s no need to be frightened, I believe your aunt Vera would no doubt help in this case,” Alice assured him before pulling out her phone from her bag, after all, Vera was highly influential and could pull some threads to get him out.“Hello?” Vera answered calmly on the other line of the phone which gave Alice the go-ahead to state the issue at hand. “Please Blame had some issues and has been arrested, can you do something about it?”“Oh really?” Vera sighed. “How can I help when your daughter destroyed the only source of help?”“What do you mean?” Alice was confused.“Well she had left with another man during the supposed date she was to have with Raphael, there’s no way their family would help after what had occurred,” Vera explained. “I don’t even want to have anything to do with you or I could as well be seen as an enemy of his family too, so deal with it on your own.” Before Alice could speak another word, the line was disconnected.What the hell did you do Lucy?” Alice sna
Vera ended the call with a smile on her face immediately she had heard what Lucy said and turned her gaze to Raphael. “I can’t believe it was that easy to make her change her mind.” Calix scoffed staring at Raphael who was amazed and also happy that he had gotten a hold of Lucy so easily. “It was inevitable that she was going to become mine, there’s no way I would have let her be.” He smiled staring at his watch with a smirk on the corner of his lips. “It’s great that her dear cousin had to play such an important role in helping make this possible.” “Of course, women like her act so tough and are very feeble when it comes to their family, you’re very smart for that move.” His friend beside him commented with a pleased look on his face. “Mmhhhmm.” Raphael hummed smiling with so much achievement, there was no way he could take no for an answer from any woman, he would break her knees as long as it would make her succumb to his arms. “One thing seems to make me quite curious you
Her phone rang for a while before she finally picked up and with a sullen voice she responded.“Hello?”“Hey, I was going to treat you out for dinner tonight and you’re yet to show up.” He tells her.“Oh,” She replied making his throat tinge as he mentally hoped she wasn’t to decline, after all, she had found a way to make their relationship work.“So?” He furrows his brows waiting for her to say something.“I’m very busy at work and can’t join you at the moment so maybe you could schedule it for another day.” She replied calmly shattering every spectacle of hope he had.“It’s fine, I shouldn’t have bothered you.” A forded smile formed on his lips holding in the pain he felt in his chest and desperately wanted to hang up at that moment.“Hey Lucy, quit answering calls and come drink more with me.” He heard a man’s voice in the background before the line went off.Lots of questions filled his mind as he began to wonder if truly she loved him or was playing with his feelings, did she le
Alice and Lucy had finally gotten into the room, she gently helped her daughter to the bed and took of her shoes while laying her gently on the bed.“Why don’t we go home instead mom?” Lucy slurred staring at her mother although her vision was hazy she could still see her.“That would be a hassle, let’s just stay here for the night, besides Mr Green offered that we stay, it would be rude if we declined his offer.” Sje convinced Lucy who hummed and nodded her head.“Please can you pass me some water? My throat is dry.” She tells her mother while gently stroking her neck.“Oh, then let me go get some water.” Sje nodded at her daughter before walking of the room and immediately came in contact with Rashael.“How is she doing?” He asked referring to Lucy.“I’m going to go get her some water, she has a soar throat.” Alice quickly said with a smile attached to her lips as she gazed at the young man. “Or perhaps getting juice would be better.”“Get juice but it would take time you know? Ther
She didn’t care if she had to fight with even her last breath, she wasn’t going to let this man touch her.“Oh quit talking nonsense as though you haven’t done this before.” He rolled his eyes trying to pin her to the bed but she continued to fight him off her even though she was weak.“You bastard! How dare you think of touching me? Have you no manners?” She snarled at him but he let out an evil laughter as he stared down at her.“I see you still don’t know your place. So you think that I can’t make you and your family regret this.“ he tried to threaten her. “You had better be good and do what I tell you.” “Never!” She yelled and pushed him to the floor with full force not knowing where she had gathered that sort of strength, she rose and staggered towards the door in hopes that she could escape from him, luckily. She was able to get out and made her way towards the elevator but it was taking long for it to open up, looking around she couldn’t find anyone that could help her in sigh
Lucy was silent as she gazed at him quietly unsure what to say to him, thinking about the situation, if Michael were to lose himself then he could hurt Eashael which could make matters even worse which she was trying hard not to let happen.“I-it’s fine Michael,” Sje assured him causing his face to turn pale staring at her.“Do you have any idea what you’re saying? What reasons do you to explain all this?” He asked losing his temper.“Just let it be Michael, I have nothing to explain to you.” She said.“Why skk on you always want things to be hard between us ( I’m giving you a chance here and all you want to do is make matters hectic.” He rolled his eyes. “You want to stoop so low that you feel it’s alright to well your body?”“That’s not it-“ she gazed at him in frustration.“Let this end between us, I hate the uncertainty you keep causing me and I need to move ahead without you in my life.” Michael curled his hand in a fist and stared at her with pain evident in his eyes as he gazed
