"She is asleep now, and will be fine when she wakes up. It's nothing serious, just that her body needs rest," the doctor said, and took his leave, heading to his office.Carina was taken to the hospital for proper treatment, after she passed out. It was past 5pm, and her sister, along with Sonia, had rushed to the hospital on hearing that she had blacked out.Sonia didn't want to come. She was obviously still mad at Carina, but upon that, she still cared about her best friend. She took a taxi to the hospital, and met Andrea and Alex outside, a few steps away from the room she was admitted to."How is she?" Fiona asked, panicking.She didn't know where she had gone to last night, as they had a quarrel.When Carina did not come home last night, she felt really scared. Could it be that something had happened to her? If anything had happened to Carina, she, Fiona, was going to regret it.She was her elder sister, and even if Carina was an adult, she still had to take up her responsibilit
"How is she doing?" Jayden asked Alex, after a few minutes of silent ride. He wanted to see her face, and know how she was doing."When Andrea and I got there, she seemed good, just that she was not ready to meet us yet. She passed out, because of the high fever, but she is fine now. She only needs to rest, as the doctor said," Alex intoned, without lying or missing a detail."Hm."Alex had to start getting used to the new house, else he would keep using the lane leading to Fernando's mansion.They got to the house, and Jayden was welcomed by the people, who were now working for him.He wished Carina was here. Though he pretended that everything was okay, he could remember sleeping next to her, intoxicated by her pleasant smell.He recalled how peaceful he had slept in her embrace, and how she looked while asleep. It was as though his mind had captured every inch of her face.He went to his room, to freshen up, and start working again. He had a lot to do, and he seemed a bit distracte
Andrea was shocked, as she heard Natasha call out the name of her fiancé. Was it the same Matt she knew or someone else?"Wait, is your Matt and the Matt I talked about, one and the same person?" Andrea asked, seeking confirmation. She was not upset, she was only curious. Natasha was nervous, she thought had misunderstood Andrea's reaction. She was hesitating to answer, but she had to, anyways."Andrea, I know I should have told you about this, but well.. you are right. They are one and the same person. I know you might be upset with me, but—""What are you saying? Why should I be upset with you? Come on, I didn't even like him, so it's no big deal. Don't act like you stole my boyfriend from me. I'm so happy for you," Andrea said, smiling, while waving her hand, indicating that it was nothing.Natasha sighed in relief, she had clearly misunderstood Andrea's reaction. She was relieved, and comfortable to talk about it."Tell us how you met him, my dear Natasha," Natalia said, smiling
Though Nathan's threat made Carina's hairs to stand, sending her the chills, allowing her body to be electrocuted by the words he spoke, she still felt he said that out of anger.She loved Nathan, but she could no longer endure his nonchalant attitude. The height of it was to cheat on her, she could not accept that. If there was something she hated, it was being cheated on. When Alex had shown her the videos, she could not believe why Nathan would do something like that.There must be a reason, and she did not know what it was. The cold breeze and Nathan's venomous threat made goosebumps to crawl out of her skin.She got up from the chair, and went inside. She met Fiona in the sitting room with her laptop, busying her fingers."Hey.""Who were you with? I think I heard someone talking outside," Fiona asked, still working on the computer.Carina sighed, and slumped into the sofa, where she loved to sleep. Leaning on it, she closed her eyes, and took a deep breath."It was Nathan."Jus
All he cared about, at the moment, was getting Jayden a wife. One would wonder why he was so desperate to get a wife for Jayden.It hurt his ego that his younger brothers' children were getting married, and he, as the first child, still had a single man in the house.To him, it was a shameful thing, so all Lukas' words fell on stony ground. He would wait for a week, and if Jayden does not bring a wife during that duration, he would do what he deem fit.Jayden was his son, and if he was not ready to do as he said, he would have to do it by himself.It was weekend, a time for some people to rest, and a time for others to still work their ass out.By others, there is Jayden. He was an early morning riser, if there was anything like that, or it was called early bird?Whichever it was, he was always the first to wake up, even when he was still at his father's house.As early as 5am, Jayden walked into his study with a cup of coffee. To him, the day had begun, and there was no need to slee
Jayden said no words as the nanny went back to the kitchen. He silently watched her leave, giving a thought to what she said to him.Her advices were always real and true, so he never played with it, only that this time, he had doubts.He should follow his heart? How was he supposed to do that? The last time he did, it ended up putting him in shackles. If there was something he learnt from that experience, it was that the heart was one of the greatest deceiver.At least, to him. That's what it meant to him, so he always used his head in every decisions he made, not letting his emotions set in.It was because of his emotions, he made a couple of wrong choices that hurt him badly, it was one of the reasons he learnt to lock up his emotions, and never reveal how he truly felt at a particular moment.Thereby, making it difficult for anyone to blackmail him, emotionally.He trusted no one, and that was why he only goes out with one car, and his driver was Alex. He didn't like the idea of
It seemed like weekends have a pair of legs, running faster than an athlete on a marathon. It's called 'weekends', and not 'week begins again'. Whenever it was weekend, the day seemed to be running very fast, as though it were in a desperate state of meeting a new week.One minute, it was the weekend, and in a twinkle of an eye, it was Monday.Carina tossed around the bed, making the sheet rumple, as she kicked her legs to the left and right, groaning and murmuring, at the same time.It was Monday, another day to get out of bed and prepare for work. Not that preparing for work was the issue here, the thing with her was meeting her boss.She wished that the weekend was slow, or probably extended until she had the courage to face him.Reality hit her, and she had no choice than to go to work. After yawning and stretching, she finally got out of her bed with a twisted face.She put on her slippers, and went to the kitchen. The aroma from the kitchen intoxicated her, making her stomach g
The silence they shared was getting more and more awkward as the seconds ticked like a timing bomb.Jayden's initial plan was to tease her, and maybe, hear her say 'please, don't be mad at me'.He didn't know when he said something else, and he couldn't go back on his words.He had said it, and that was it. Carina, lost in thoughts, stared at Jayden with eyes that seemed to be desperate to plug out of its sockets.Jayden, the CEO? Her boss was asking her to eat lunch with him? This was unbelievable. Jayden never liked to eat in the canteen, even though there was a VIP room for him to have his meal.In fact, he rarely ate at work. He could easily turn her down, and go back on his words, but he didn't seem like he wanted to."What? You don't want to come?" He said, arching his brow.She shook her head, "n…no, no, sir. I have no right to say no to my boss. It would be an honor to sit with you at lunch," she replied, ever genteelly."Good."He walked out like nothing happened, like he n
