Juan was speechless, he stared at the wokam before him. The shame from having lost such an amount kf money to Wesley was brought back to him. And now, upon learning if the fact that he was not even yhe reak Wesley Damont Juan didnt feel like he coukd show his face. He wanted to crawl to a cirnwr and die like a rat. Marlyn had perhaps noticed the triats of hiw he seemed to ve having a panic attack, from how he loosened the tie aroubd his neck and how he repeatedly cleared hjs throat. Whether or not she had noticed these things, she didnt stop the interview, rather she went ahead to be asking him questions. "So it wasn't that Wesley Damont had scammes you of your money. It was some nameless boy from nowhere that decided to do such a thing". She smiled. "how does that make you feel?" His hands were practically shaking, he chickled dryly, still unabke to breathe well, and he was not about yo lie: "Why do you ask when you know exactly how I'm feeling? Exactly what this news is doing
It was as if life itself was against jade. On the first day of work, such a tragedy befell her company. She stood there, in front of the lab watching it engulf in flames. There was nothing that coukd save it. She wondered if her parents were gonna blame her, if they woukd say she was the one responsible for all of this, if they would call her a child of bad luck. She didn't know how to feel. "I think you should go back" Christian said from beside her. "The firefighters are here already, let them do their job". "Christian, this was supposed to be a good day, my first day, but suddenly this tragedy just happened". "Luckily, nobody got hurt, isn't that a good thing?" He asked, "all you need to do right now is focus on recovering from the loss. Your comaony has two other laboratories, you can check if whatever had been going on here had another copy over there. You have buildings, you can transform one of them into a second lab and if you successfully get investors, well, I'm sure e
Wynn stood in front of Leah's door, she had not heard from her sister ever since the ordeal with Juan. She had no idea that Camille had gone over to Juan's house to scold him against Leah, nor did she know of what Juan had said to Leah. She hesistated knocking feeling like if she did go in there she would have nothing to say to her. She took a deep breath, but turned away. However, before she could accomplish that, Leah was standing there, door opened and wearing her pajamas. Wynn swallowed. "What are you doing here?" "I came to see how you were doing" Wynn said, uncertainty in her tone. Leah scrutinized her for a few seconds. She recalled the words that Juan had said to her, that he only had sex with her because she was the closest thing to Wynn. Those words crippled her self esteem and the hate she had for Wynn somehow shot through the roof. She grimaced, "I'm fine, you don't have to worry". Wynn nodded her head, obviously hearing the disinclination she didnt even bother t
Leah's sense of hearing was the first to wake up and it did to the cacophony of sounds around her. She coukd hear footsteps, peoole chattering and a machine beeping around her. She opened her eyes and looked aroubd her. There was a white curtain aroubd her, she could hear the sounds of people talking aroubd her. She looked to the cloth that was donned on her body and recognized it to be a hospital outfit. She had no idea how she had ended up in a hospital. She kooked around, unsure of herself and her surroundings. Then she recalled what had brought her to the hospital. Leah immediately jumoed from the bed, the throbbing sensation on her head was what made her stumble and fall back to the bed, but that ddnt stop her, she rose back up and spread open te curtains. Coincidentally, a nurse was standing there abs saw her rush out. The nirse instantly hekd her back knowing fully well that she was not supposed to be out of her bed. "What's going on here?" The nurse asked, "where are yo
Kraig immediately, practically melted, he hurried to stand by her side and hold her hand. She took in a deep breath, her eyes moved around as she took in everyone in the room. Leah was on her feet as well, standing over Wynn, with tears in her eyes. "Kraig," Wynn said, her eyes staring at Kraig's hands that held her own. "I.. um, I want to be alone" she withdrew her hand. Kraig was shocked, he stepped back, "you want to be alone?" Wynn nodded her head, she couldn't look at him in the eyes, she turned away from him and looked towards where Leah was, her hand stillnin Leah's own. "I can't do this right now," she sajd, "I can't" she muttered. Kraig who had been worried sick about her, glanced at Kyle wjo stood beside him. He was so confused and it was evident in the way he looked at him. Nevertheless, he acquiesced. He walked out of the room wirh Kyle behind him. "He had been so worried about you," Leah said, "are you okay?" Her wailing had stopped and now her rationality was spea
Margot gasped, tears forming in her eyes as she stared at Jade in horror. She could hardly believe what she was hearing. She knew for a fact that her son wasn't exactly a good boy, but death was not what she had been expecting. He ecen got married without telling her and then he died. She fell down yo the ground. But before she touched the ground, jade quickly grabbed hold of her, "you don't have to do this. Its my fault for telling you. I'm sorry, I just wanted you to know". "What happened to him? How did he die?" "He was shot" jade turned towards the staircase, as she bagan to lead Margot away up the staircase. Margot had nothing to say or do, tears just spilled from her eyes, she was well aware that her son moved with such cliques and it didn't surprise her that he died from a gunshot. Nevertheless, whetehr kr no she had expected it, it didn't stop the pain from crushing her and as she was led to a door, she was glad. She coukd wail in secret and not wuth a woman she knew no
Fear rose in her heart, she approached her daughter, partly hoping that this was all a prank, praying that nothing had resulted from that push. She didn't know what she would do if something happened to Carolene. And the oblivion she possessed regarding the father ofnthe child still strck its own blow at her heart. She wondered if Carolene was loved greatly by the man. Wondered if he cared so much about the baby. Margot was starting to feel like she had made a bad decision to come here. She walkd closer to Carolene who had fainted on her side, with a hand over her face. She took the hand away from her face to see her state. Carolene's eyes were closed. Margot's heartbeat rose to another. She gently pushed Carolene at her shoulders so that she could lay on her back. Margot was terrified, she checked around Carolene, searching for any sign of moisture in between her legs, and when she foubd none, she heaved a sigh of relief. However, why wasn't she awake? The fear that had subsi
Kraig walked back into the room. He thought the time he spent away from her was enough, now he wanted to talk to her, to know what was going through her mind, he wanted to know if there was any way possible that those men who had had their way with her could be arrested. When he entered, he saw that she was laying on her side, facing the other side. He thought nothing to this and so he just waljed to meet her. As he settled on the bed, he ran his hand over her curved hip. Suddenly she jerked up, bringing hwr knees to her chest as she moved to the head of the bed. There was fear in her eyes, seemingly like she had no clue who the man before her was. Her chest was heaving up and down, her breathing was ragged. What was left for her to do was ro start begging Kraig not to touch her. Kraig immediately put his hands up, "Wynn, it's just me, its me, there's no one else here but me". Wynn shook her head, though Kraig was there but all she was seeing were the four hefty men who overpowe
