At the hospital where Mrs Doe was taken, Tina panted on the corridor in front of the room. She paced back and forth several times, her shoe clinking on the ceramic tile. She and her mom have been apart for seven years, she had just return home with George barely a week ago, she would feel terrible and devastated if something were to happen to her.As she continued to ponder in front of the hospital room, the door finally opened and a doctor and a nurse emerged. “Doctor, please tell me my mom is okay, please tell me she is fine and out of danger. Please tell me that,”. Tina persuaded keenly.“Relax, Tina,” the doctor sighed. “I can’t lie to you, I’ll be frank with you: your mom is stable for now but I can’t promise you she is out of danger,” the doctor disclosed.“But why? You are the doctor, it is your duty to make sure she is alright and out of danger. What is this you are telling me now, that you can’t do your job?” she asked devastatingly.“It is not like that, my dear Tina,” the
Tina might’ve been friends with Mia for a very long time but it seems she was not quite aware of who her son called friend truly was.“Will you stop it there with your nonsense. I’m a business woman, and I keep away emotions away when handling businesses, what if she played motherly role in my life when I lost my mom as a child. Did I ask her to that? Don’t make it sound like I owe her a thing cause I don’t!” She spat callously.Tina was stunned to hear that from Mia. While they were both six years ago, Tina lost her mom and her father was up and down with business that he couldn’t have time to read her bed time stories nor pick her up from school or play any motherly role in her life.When Tina’s mom discovered this, she brought Tina to come stay with them for over three years where she took care of her like she were her own flesh and blood.But now that an opportunity presented itself for her to return the good deeds the woman did form her when she was still a child, she seems not t
His words lit a little form of light in Tina. “You’re O-?” she startled, her face beginning to gleam bright. “Are you sure you of what you are saying. How is it possible that you are O-?” she tried to doubt his words.“What are you saying Tina? I’ve been donating free blood to the hospital for over three years now. I know exactly what my blood group is, I’m O-negative,” August explained.“That’s great!” Tina exclaimed in excitement, a profound smile crawling her face. “Thank goodness, August, you’re an angel right now. Quickly, let’s go to the doctor and tell him I’ve found a donor,” Tina excited, led the way as they headed to the doctor’s office.The thirty minutes had already elapsed and the doctor was also leaving his office to come prepare Tina for a bone marrow transplant, they met on the walkway. Tina excitingly disclosed to the doctor that August was O-negative and is capable of donating blood to save her mother.The doctor arranged for August’s blood group testing and screeni
“Bo-Boris brought you to the hospital? What are you saying mom?” her eyes widened in disbelief.“Don’t you dare lie to me Tina?” she warned her index finger pointed towards her daughter with a temper. “I can’t believe you hate Boris this much to deny his good deeds, when he is the reason why you are still alive. He told me everything, so you better not try to fill my head with nonsense towards my believed son in-law her voice menacing towards her own daughter.“W-what did he tell you?” Tina asked her brows raised.“When I passed out when Don Maxino’s men were about to slap me five thousand times. My courageous son wouldn’t let them touch me, he got into physical altercation with Don make and his men, courageously exchanging punches with them— a five on one, where he got this bruises on his face.Though he did not completely over power them, he was able to keep them up to protect you and me till his father and his men arrived. When Mr Harrington arrived, Don Maxino was trembling on his
Mrs Doe was exasperated, she jumped out from her hospital bed and swung her hand forcefully into August’s face.“You filthy swine! How dare you slap my son-in-law and label him a liar? You’ve crossed the line this time!” she growled angrily, her words filled with rage.“Mom? While did you slap August?” Tina protested quickly. “He has done absolutely nothing wrong by slapping Boris. This jerk deserves all the slaps in this world— he’ s despicable!” Tina spat angrily, her eyes scowling at Boris.“Shut up will you. Another word from you against Boris and I’ll slap you too,” Mrs Doe warned her daughter sternly, her brows furrowed.Boris covered his face where August slapped him and chuckled secretly. Not only had he deceived Mrs Doe into believing him, he also got her into defending him even against her own child.But Tina couldn’t shut it, she would rather receive a thousand slaps than let Boris take all the credits for what August did. Her blood boiled as she clearly recalled how Boris
Tina had just finished the third consecutive bottle of water within the space of thirty minutes. Her mind was a to and fro of questions. “What if they don’t like my proposals? Dad will be disappointed!”Her father, Mr. John Doe, was away on a month-long business trip, leaving her to represent the company during one of its most critical moments. The opportunity to partner with a new PC company in Aurora Bay, launched by a young billionaire, was too significant to ignore.Tina adjusted her blazer, her mind racing with the details of the proposal she had presented earlier that day. The young billionaire was launching a cutting-edge PC company, and he needed an audio partner to produce the sound systems for his devices. Though her father was not around, Tina won’t Miss the opportunity to grab the eye catchy partnership. Many other audio companies were similarly in the race for the partnership. At the presentation, she clearly saw other big audio companies presented their proposals, includ
****Different kinds of smiles wreathed August's face as he relaxed comfortably on the couch in the living room, still thrilled by what had happened a few days ago. Not only had Mrs. Doe canceled Tina’s marriage to that scoundrel Boris, but she had also apologized for all her unfair treatment toward him. He had felt like a superhero in front of the Doe family since that day; the way he had kicked the door open and saved Tina from being assaulted by Boris had looked like a scene straight out of an action movie—it was incredibly exhilarating!Tina had promised to treat him to dinner that evening, but her new business partner had requested she go to his house for a welcoming dinner instead. He had been irritated when she phoned earlier to inform him that their dinner would be postponed until the next day. But what could he do other than wait?As his thoughts lingered, his phone buzzed with an incoming message—it was from Tina. His imagination quickly deceived him into thinking that her
August jumped out of a Maybach ride parked across the street in front of an elegant mansion, his steps hurried as he approached the gate.Two robust men stood guard in front of the gate. “Hey you! Where the hell do you think are you going? Our Boss doesn’t allow visitors after 6PM. You should come back tomorrow,” one of the men said arrogantly.“Our boss wouldn’t want to see anyone right now. He’s obviously busy right now,” the other sneered, his chuckle conniving.August frowned, his eyes were gleaming with rage. “Allow me inside right now, it’s urgent I go inside,” August said firmly. “No, we will not allow you inside. You should leave right now,” one of them said sternly. August was exasperated. The longer he delayed reaching Tina, the greater the risk she could be in even more danger. He had to get in, no matter what.“You should let me in, you don’t understand. Someone needs my help from your evil boss, if I don’t get in right now it will be too late,” August said desperately a
