"Alaric is something up with you?" Alaric didn’t expect Draco or anyone to come around then, so he was startled.Giggling, he forced himself to say. "It's pretty nothing, I just came here to have a drink!" he sipped from the cup again."A drink, for over three hours?""Three hours! How is that even p.." he hurriedly checked his wristwatch only to realise that Draco was indeed right.He had spent over three hours drinking and soliloquising."Is it a girl issue?" Draco took a seat to level with him. "Hmmm… could it be a girl problem?" Draco hurriedly leaned closer. "I thought your woman was back. So why brood further?" Draco was inquisitive.Staring blankly, Alaric said to him. "Maybe I want more than that. Maybe I want more than what I'm getting." he sipped another round from his cup, but then this time, Draco collected it back from him."Hey, enough of it, Alaric! Time to stop drinking." Draco repeated, taking the wine far away.Alaric sighed and leaned against the cellar table before
At first, Edwin paused when he heard the masculine voice call him, he was expecting a feminine voice and that of Helen to be precise, but here he was meeting another thing entirely."Kendel!" Edwin was first of all struck to the spot. No other person called him by that name except for the Meritual gang, only they addressed him by that name."Are my ears playing tricks on me, or is this reality?" he asked himself, with a creased brow for a minute. Thereafter, fastened his step towards the door.He would never make the mistake of opening the door without the loophole anymore. Helen's case had taught him a lesson.Once bitten, twice shy.He checked the loophole and there, he met the shock of his life. It was Brandon.This time, it wasn't just Brandon, but Brandon was with other members of the gang.He at first headed from peeking through the hole, brushed through his face with his palm to be sure he wasn't dreaming and then he checked but it was still the same thing."What could they be
Edwin was immediately agitated by the knock on the door. He had called his guys to stay away from home, if they had, then who was at the door?All this he thought to himself in a daze."You have somebody at the door, man, go check." one of them teased him. He balled his fist in anger, strolling towards the door. The first thing he did was peep through the hole."Damn! Is she dumb!" he mumbled to himself, balling his fist, then opening up, he raised his voice to say. "What are you doing he…"Before he could finish, she raised a bag to him. "What else would I be doing here, if not for the fact that Mum asked me to come over with this plate of soup." Helen didn't allow him to finish his statement before she strode past him into the house."Hele…" her name hung in his mouth immediately while he watched her walk in.Upon getting into the living room, she froze to her feet when she sighted Brandon and his men, her legs turned jelly-like as well while she wondered what was happening.Howeve
A frustrated Edwin bolted into the house in anger. He had just returned from the bank where he confirmed his fears. Previously he had checked his balance through his phone, only to realise all his money, which he struggled to save in the last three years, was gone. Out of fifty thousand dollars, he mysteriously found three dollars. Everything was gone, his savings were the last hope he had to pay for the surgery of his sick mother. However, considering various options, the only person who could go to such a length of withdrawing his fund was Ciara Shawn, his wife. The moment he walked into the bedroom, he found her filling her nails. Seething in anger, Edwin yelled out. "Where is my money? Why did you touch my savings?" Instead of a look of remorse and guilt, she acted indifferently, engrossed in taking care of her nails other than acting as she cared. "What else would your beautiful wife use the money for?" "Of course, I had to get a beautiful dress that would make my appearance
The only possible solution Edwin thought of rendering, was pleas at the table of the doctor to get his mother treated, while he sought other possible means to get the money.Upon his entry into the hospital, he was heading straight to the office, but then while he strode the hallway, something caught his attention. He noticed a patient was dumped in the hallway. From where he stood, he could see the struggles of the patient, depicting how much pain she was passing through. Pitifully, Edwin shook his head, thoughts of why the hospital could have done such a thing ran through his mind, but then he couldn't make out a reason as to why it happened.Nevertheless, he kept on walking. He was almost a step away from the patient when his curiosity piqued. The same patient had a familiar bracelet he had gifted his mother.It caused him to take a second glance at the person laying on the floor.However, he was dumbstruck at the sight of what he saw. "Mother!" he yelled out in fury. All along i
Both the nurses, guardians and Edwin himself had to turn towards the location of the voice, only to see a huge framed man dressed in a dark navy blue suit. Which turned out to be a three-piece suit with a crisp white shirt and a navy blue tie. His shoes were black, shiny, and polished.Adding to it, he had short, dark hair, neatly combed and parted on the side. His face was clean-shaven, and he wore a pair of wire-framed glasses. "I said, you all should let him go! He is not to be rough-handled!" he repeated after recognising their hesitation.He hastened towards Edwin, slightly bowed, with an apologetic tone. "My apologies for coming late, young master. I should have arrived early enough and then this wouldn't have happened." Edwin was dazed. He found it hard to get meaning out of what was being said."Let's get going immediately, young master. I will make sure I get the best doctor and your mom will be on her feet in no time." Edwin had doubts.He knew no one to suddenly help him o
There was no need for further explanation. 'The hospital had been purchased by a superior family.' the president had declared.No other person had reached out to buy the hospital except for Alaric. When the realisation dawned on Aiden that he had hit a hard rock, he fell flat to the ground immediately. "Young master, my sincere apologies. I take back all I said."The revelation didn't hit him alone, but it also hit the nurses and guardians. However, fear could be noticed on the face of the nurses."We did underestimate him, now I'm very sure we will get fired." A nurse had murmured in fear."It's not me you offended, you offended my young master. So it's only if he forgives you. The ball remains in his court." Alaric replied to the director.Even after the discouraging words, Aiden kept apologising, however, the moment he realised the nurses were still on their feet, he yelled. "You all should get down on your knees! Can't you get a hang of the situation?"Edwin on the other hand was
“I want a divorce, Edwin.” Ciara had repeated to Edwin’s dismay. “Where exactly did I go wrong, Ciara?” Edwin believed she was supposed to be the one apologising for all the evil she had done since the day they got married. Severally, she had caused him humiliation in the family. Made a joke out of him, her family wasn’t fine with him, and so was Ciara herself.Nevertheless, he had loved her unceasingly hoping that one day she would come to love him like he did. But it was all a dream.She would go to the extent of frustrating him and selfishly making decisions. The last which had almost cost him the life of his mom, if not for the miraculous intervention from Adrian.“Ciara, why don’t we talk about this when we get home? I believe there is a misunderstanding somewhere.”On the other hand, Ciara scoffed.”You are a big joker, Edwin. Get down here right now so we can get the papers signed!” Edwin became disorganised, torn between the situation at hand and then his wife’s sudden reque
