The bodyguards bow at Gerald as they couldn't do anything to her except he orders them to."Wait...a minute, who are you and who's Pedro because I am Gerald" he informed intending to give the pestering baby back to her but she stepped away from him."Drop your jokes Pedro! You have a case with my father!" She concludes and walked away without further introduction.Gerald mutters some depressing words, turned his gaze at the maids and then his eyes met the weeping child whose pitch was high and breaking.The maids hadn't dropped the tray in their hands yet as they were waiting for his order. Everyone here seemed to respect him and he guessed he might be in a safer place than the former."Could someone tell me what's happening?" Gerald pleads as he stretched the baby to one of the maids to hold. He doubts if these terrible looking bodyguards could cater for the child. Rather, they would kill the baby.It was the first maid who took the child from him and her name was venessa. She was a
"I've got another son?" He muses peering his eyes at Nathan to explain more."Well, sir we could talk about that...if you dismiss her" Nathan murmurs back. Gerald scoffs and places his arms around his waist."Who the heck is Pedro?" He questioned himself feeling all dizzy and weary."You aren't saying anything!" She fires and it made Gerald speechless."Well I wasn't expecting you to say anything, just wanna let you know, I'm no longer taking full custody of him..."She kept pouring out her pains and anger at him and all that registered in Gerald head was the fact that there was another child that this Pedro has."I'm not ready to have babies" he confesses to himself. For the time being, he would get help but now, he just has to play along.Meanwhile, Nathan made sure that she doesn't come closer to gerald. Though, he was bemused why his boss acted so gentle and addresses her calmly.Usually, Pedro would have snub her, order that she gets arrested or possibly throw her out of the hou
Dark tree trunks, shadows, overhanging limbs across the path seen at the last second, clumps of bushes, barely visible black trails snaking through the undergrowth. The moon shone through a lattice of leaves, patchy sky and stars seen in glimpses through tree breaks, tall shadowed pines stretching up like arrows into the sky, streaks of cloud against the earth, Wind slipping through leaves, cracking undergrowth with each step, creaking tree trunks, the flutter of wings unseen, snapping twigs, grass. Heavy pants could be heard through this dangy wood as a man could be seen covered in blood while holding a little child in his arms. His torn outfit, bruised face, dangling hair could tell he was escaping. His feet never gave a halt to the impending danger behind him as surviving from his raging foes was all that matter. He curdled this petrified child tightly, groaned in pains and tottered deeper into the woods. His only energy was the child he vowed to keep alive despite the pains and
"I'm sorry I couldn't keep the promise" he spat out shutting his eyes as wave of memories flooded his head. His only reason of enrolling into such rare academy was to prove to his family that he was good at something and be able heal his sister who was diagnosed of a terminal disease. However, those dreams got shattered and now, his mother and sister would hear no more of him, oddly enough, he requested the academy not to break the devastating news to his family. He haul off the thoughts as attention was drawn back to the building which looked horrifying from outside."Seriously?" He mused dumping the box to the ground and sliding down the headphone to scan the building where he would stay temporary till death consumes him. Curiously, he stomped into the building dragging the box with him. It was a dangy apartment having different writings on it.She sat by the counter gazing at the scene displayed before her. The hip-hop music, dancers and drunk made her whimper. Her only reason of
Gerald smiled and began a speech by saying it was an honor to be seated with kings and queens of the upper hands. He had only seen them in TV and they look cute in real life. Furthermore, he praised them a bit to lighten up the mood mostly the ruthless looking emperor who let out a sided smile at the young man's adornment. Grace was troubled that he wouldn't win her father but it seems like he would because the emperor loved praises. The only people who were against them were her brothers. Gerald had to lie about the companies he had and awards won as a distinguish businessman. The emperor went further to ask how much his assets worth and Stacy answered that on his behalf. The only man was someone who loved proof and couldn't be bought easily. The prepared grace had that with her which left Gerald stunned. The emperor was impressed by that as only a wealthy man, posed and perfect could be accepted to the family as though his were perfect because from Ryan's observation, this family
The swirling wind swept across the place as the cloud had gathered for a heavy downpour giving signs for the victim of it's wrath. The dark was drawing in and people could be seen hurrying to take shelter away from the impending storm that would come upon them. Steadily, a downpour began wetting the earth and anything its stroke could come upon. Gerald was found in her pyjamas, t-shirt, flipflop slippers and face cap striding in the rain which had become heavy. Her hair were being toss aside by the whirlwind as the cold for the day had captured her. She had no idea of where she was heading to. There were no cabs around neither did she look like one who was ready to go home. At that moment, she wanted death to come take her. It was definitely over but too soon. The situation got her asking why it always had to be her. Why did she pull an act that had a bitter ending. Did he know she had to swallow her pride to hug him in people's presence? He felt like a gentleman who would understa
He could see it in his eyes. The gut of failure. How everyone pauses in shock. His heart skipped as his hands trembles.Blood trickles down his face which made him flinches.His hands were trembling and he could barely stand erect. Void of thoughts, all he sees was death.Paused at a place, He could hear their whispers loud. Rolling his eyes, he found his father staring from the glassy wall.The heart rate machine beeps so loudly that it could explode the walls.His father shut his eyes and walked away."Henry Wales, died 12:00pm" a feminine voice sadly echoes. She was nurse Nora and three more doctors including him was staring at the patient.They were all wearing their scrubs, nose mask and their equipments for surgery was still in their hands.What would they all say? Another life lost because of a doctor's carelessness? It was becoming unbearable.To worsen it, he keeps getting promoted, awarded, just because of his father's influence while those who dedicated their time and passi
"Are you done imagining?" A serene voice pops in his head and he open his eyes.He had been standing at the entrance of the hospital for a while, lost in his death imaginations.If Nora hadn't interrupted his thoughts, he would have been completely lost.Louis heaves a sigh on sighting her. At least, he had someone who was still by his side.She was holding two coffees mugs in her hands along with a bag of hamburger.She had a change of outfit after the hectic operation and needed to keep the narcissist Louis on his feet.Usually, he acts nonchalant but this time, he had that sad look in his eyes, weak yet couldn't express himself.If everyone believes he has no affection, she doesn't. Possibly, he must have cried hard somewhere secretly and when he was done, he would come out looking as though he was never bothered.Of course, he was human, he had a heart."Care for a coffee?" She asked with a serious gaze at him. He gave her no reply and only moved to the garden.She followed suit m
Sadly enough, she couldn't go to pick her up because another official call came in.She had to tell a chauffeur to pick her up. It was such a relief that she didn't lose her princess due to carelessness. She left there for the office with a light heart, she gain prestige over here as she was accorded with respects as a boss. Seems one of her dreams came through and she did her best to be a friendly boss.There was no good in being harsh but as she would always say, those who took her kindness for granted has to face the consequences. Anastasia called her back that she had gotten home.She apologized for not being mindful and that she would get home soon to make up for leaving her behind. She smiled when she ought to smile, spoke when she ought to speak and these officials were impressed.Finally, she got the big deal seems her husband has no choice than to be proud of her. Immediately she was done, she hurried back home to meet with Anastasia.There she was always standing by the
Brian walked gently towards his car which was parked outside waiting patiently for him to get in. He gave a fake smile at whom he found inside and she returned his gestures. The chauffeur drove them to the airport and they got there thirty minutes before the flight takes off. It was a business trip along with his secretary lucy and planned to be back within a month even before it was over. They got to their destination safely and Lucy handled everything properly while they got off the plane. He wasn't ready to address anyone that day and Lucy had to inform those who wishes to see him that he was unavailable for that moment. It was late at night and he intended to take a walk around this place where he was going to stay for a while. He had an earpod on listening to music that could soothe his mood. As he strolled, he took pictures of captivating features in this place. His eyes met a girl who seemed stranded by the bridge side, she was wincing and shivering in the cold. Perhap
He turned off the phone immediately and warned Brian to stay off his family as he got informed that his wife was involved in an accident."You made a wrong choice by messing with those that were dear to me" Brian said as Felix narrowed a brow at this man right in front of him who always does as he threaten.He couldn't say a word back at Brian as he hurriedly rushed out while his brother glared at the table with an evil intention written all over his face.It rained heavily as he could be found drained in the rain, every effort to get in touch with those whom he lost in the fire outbreak proved abortive as deep in his heart.He didn't want to believe that they were consumed in the fire, he had a lot of memories attached to those people mostly the woman who stole his heart.His life was a mess as he had lost the one whom he tried to protect. He suddenly felt a shield covering him from the rain and when he lifted his head. Brian found someone holding an umbrella over his head and he s
She studied her son, the brief smile that escaped his lips.When she mentioned Julie's name, which made her heart flutter. All she wants this time is to hear Brian call her mother again."How about we pay her a visit tomorrow?" She suggested, he grimaced at her and sighed, and she knew that was a yes. His father demanded to see him privately, and he yielded to his demand. The old man laid on the bed exhausted for the day as the party was getting dismissed gradually. He smiled immediately he saw Brian and got relieved that at least he was forgiven."No one is giving me the answers I need…why did you send me back?". His scoffed and rose from the bed while beckoning on Brian to pick a file which laid on the desk."Someone talked some sense into me" he confessed sad at heart and Brian smirked at him while picking up the file lazily."Transfer of property?" Brian read and his father nodded."I don't need anything that is yours…""I knew you would say that, but son you're the only one I
His eyes strictly monitoring her hair and shoes."You can't follow me with that" he stated and offered to follow her to her room.She smiled as she followed suit. To be honest, she did that on purpose. The hair thing actually."I won't wait all day!" he yelled from the room as he got there before her. She rolled her eyes and hastened her footsteps into the room.He pulled out her makeup seat and tapped it with his hands, beckoning on her to sit down.She sat down as he instructed and stared at the mirror. She wondered if he can really dress a person's hair because his own hair never looked properly kept.She gulped as he began combing her hair with his hands."Shouldn't he be using a comb for that?" she questioned.He began twirling part of her hair and held it up with a pin. He made a twirl with another part and made held it again.She placed her hand on her cheek and let him do his thing.He was done in a minute.She kept staring at her hair while her eyes admired it.She didn't
The thought of her former apartment popped up in his memory and he decided to drive off there. Josh who was hurrying up to met his mother's needs found him at the gates."You came for her?" He just said with a wry smile."Where's she?" Brian asked with the assertion that this naughty boy was referring to Julie."Mom's apartment, she's a psycho this time around, so be careful" he advised with no formal gestures as though the kid was having an indifference attitude towards him. Brian intended him to ask him a question which concerned a drawing of his but he had to see Julie first. Brian rang the doorbell and josh scoffed;"Why are you acting like a gentle man?" He asked opening the door for Brian. In here, everyone surrounded someone and he guessed it was Julie. Quickly, he excused himself through their midst to take a look at her and once their eyes met, she flinched and folded her legs on the bed frightened. This act of hers averted their gaze on him as they sensed he was danger.
The wailing of siren could be heard as it drove to the nearest hospital. Some doctors could be seen hurrying to take a woman to the ICU. Brian got worries written all over his face, as he hoped the victim wakes up. Lucy was less bothered besides this woman would be out of her way. She glanced at the doctor who got out of the room to address them. He was sad too. Brian had it in mind that this doctor was going to tell him that the patient lost her memory. Lucy ticked her tongue hoping that she hears this woman was dead."Can I see her?" Brian asked in whispers and the doctor nodded. They transferred her from the ICU to a ward where she could be visited. Brian wasn't allowed in as he could see nurses and a security agent rushing.After the doctor assign to administer medication to her sighed sharply and ushered Brian inside. The door glide open gently as he paced towards were she sat chained to the bed, he narrowed a brow at her surprised at the sudden scene. Her hair was wet an
"Do always cry like a child whenever she spoke to you this bad?". She scoffed and ditched the coffee in his hand again."Are you here to hurt me the more""No! I'm just learning new features, you know I despise people when they cry, but you look beautiful when you do such" he teased, and she smiled wiping her tears the more and then collected the coffee from him yet again. It seems she was going to keep to act this way with the pissed off mug of coffee."Really?" She beckoned, bringing out a mirror."Seriously? You always keep a mirror with you?""Yeah, to see if I look good when I'm done" she said laughing as he only smiled a little. It didn't take long when she began yawning by then, she was done with coffee and handed him back his mug."Goodnight Brian, I've got a lot to do tomorrow at my restaurant…stay happy! But don't cross that lioness part, she's scary when she's angry" she said in a faint voice as she walked away."Julie, are okay right where you are?" He thought, glancing a
"My biggest fan?" She echoed impressive though because she never knew she's got fans from just saving lives and her biggest fan was definitely jimmy disguised; however, the late line was awkward as he says she should be grateful he wrote it. There was no doubt that she needed to call him, although she still got my pride. She carried the box inside because she didn't want anyone to see the gift inside. Once she got in.She unfolded the wrap from the box and found a necklace. It was gorgeous and made of pure diamond."Not bad" She commented because it was expensive and wow he sure knew she wanted such. Julie was more like a materialistic person, although it would have been romantic if he wore it on her and then say: "I'm sorry love for suspecting you". It wasn't only a necklace she found but a pen and diary which wrote;"Pour it all out to me, I might be of great help". Weird right but this damn book got her laughing, just what she wanted, a diary. Well, the last two gifts she saw wa
