Harrison walked over to the ward staring at Maxwell as he approached the hospital bed.Riya sat there with her back against him as she shut her eyes tightly.He stopped moving all of a sudden as his ear pod began to flash green light while his phone buzzed. He picked up the call on his phone and in a flash of light he was out of the ward.Riya let out a reliefing sigh as he walked out of the ward. She glanced at Maxwell and they both let out a short scary laughter.Maxwell stared at her for a while as she tried to catch her breath. "What happened?..." He said in a low tone. Riya tilted her head and said "Huh...what?" pretending not to know what he was talking about. "You were never so scared of having Harrison in a room, what changed?" He asked further. The look on her face when Harrison walked in was very alarming and he didn't understand why she ducked her head in her jacket at his presence. Although not a regular visitor as the Wilson's house, Riya was one who could come and
Amelia stared at her father in anger "What kind of father leaves his daughter without a word?" She asked rhetorically."Amelia I am sorry... It was an emergency and my presence was important" He said."Where did you go?" She asked angrily."I went to New York for business" He answered immediately.Amelia chuckled and said "How am I sure you're saying the truth?" She asked."Dad I want to be treated like I matter to you and not like I am an option, is that too much to ask?" She said."I promise you that's what I am trying to do" He said walking slowly towards her."Well.. You ain't doing it well enough, you keep traveling and you're never around" She cried out.Wilson knew for sure that his daughter was telling the truth but he didn't expect her to act this way so soon.This was indeed a proof that she was completely into him now.Maybe he could start telling her stuffs that she needs to know."I am sorry, I'll do better" He said tapping her shoulder.He pulled her into a hug and held
Amelia walked up to Laurel in anger. She held tight to her folded fist, ready to pounce on Laurel at any opportunity."Why were you laughing?" She asked in anger.Laurel stood staring at her in silence.Maxwell glanced at Wilson who was still sitted at the spot unwilling to concern himself with whatever was going on with the ladies."Who do you think you are?" Amelia roared making Maxwell even more uncomfortable.He stood up and walked towards them in the living room.He cleared his throat and said "Laurel, I'm sure you never wanted to mock....my wife but you did anyways" He said glancing at Laurel and Amelia as he spoke."I think this is the best time to apologise" He said casting a long stare at Laurel.Laurel glance at Wilson who sat at the dinning unwilling to say a word.She snared at Amelia and Maxwell before muttering a quick apology. "I'm sorry" She said looking to the floor.Maxwell glanced at Amelia gesturing at her to accept the apology.Amelia on the other hand was rather
The elderly lady stared at Riya with a broad smile on her face."You're very young and hardworking... So I and my husband have decided to make this place as comfortable as it can be for you" She said in a calm tone.The confused expression on Riya's face turned into a broad smile as she stared at the lady in gratitude."I'm speechless, ma... I really appreciate your kindness" Riya exclaimed."You're welcome, beautiful Riya" She said with a warm smile "I hope you do get that compliment often" She teased.Riya was lost of words to express how she was feeling at the moment.She felt like hugging the lady but she was uncertain about what her reaction would be. Without thinking, she asked in uttermost excitement "Can I hug you, ma?" "Of course..." Mrs Bernard said standing up from her sit to give Riya a hug. They held each other in a tight embrace for a while until they heard footsteps approaching from the stairs. "What am I missing?" Bernard's voice sounded from the direction of the s
"It's true then...." Maxwell said in a low voice."What is true?" Laurel whose face was already flushed red said trying to hide the fear in her eyes."It's true that those are not your reasons" Maxwell said staring intensely at her. "It could be for the pleasure or just the money or both" He said further.Laurel seethed as she watched him talk about her immoral relationship with Wilson without any fear in his eyes."You'll be dead once Wilson finds out that you know about this" She threatened standing up the couch.Maxwell chuckled at her words "On the contrary, I think you will be dead if he finds out that you told me about the intimate relationship between you two" Maxwell said in a low voice darting his eyes around the room."What.. I didn't tell you anything" Laurel exclaimed angrily."And you that he would believe that....well, as much as I know, he'll kill you first before proceeding to kill me and.... He may not still kill me for the sake of his beloved daughter who I am marrie
"Hello.... Riya.." Maxwell called out when he couldn't hear Riya from the other end of the phone. "Are you still there?" He asked trying to check if the call had already ended."Yeah... I'm here" Riya finally spoke up.The surprise she experienced when Maxwell said he missed her had made her speechless for a few seconds."Did you really mean what you said about missing me?" She wanted to ask but she quickly stopped herself."I hope you're feeling better now?" She asked instead.Maxwell smiled at the way she avoided his talk about missing her. "Yes.. I feel very much better today" He replied."I might be visiting by the weekend" Riya announced."I thought you didn't want to come here again" He asked."Yeah... It's on Amelia's request. I can't just come on my own free will" She said."Then, it's a great news" Maxwell teased. "I'll finally stop missing you" He said.Riya chuckled softly as they both said goodbye to each other.He had come to like Riya more in the past few days. The way
Laurel gasped as she saw her former boss's wife walk out of the elevator with three men following closely behind her.She walked towards them with her eyes completely fixed on Wilson.Wilson on the other hand looked rather unconcerned about the impromptu visit.He led the way as they all walked into his office.Laurel hid herself avoiding to lock gaze with the lady.He former boss who also owned a product company was a kind soul and as much as Laurel could remember, he loved his family very much.The lady sat on the chair facing Wilson while Laurel and the three men stood by the side."This is a pleasant surprise, Kate.." Wilson said in a low voice. "I wasn't expecting your graceful presence this early to my company" He added."You can say that again, Old man... You're doing well with your business" She remarked, darting her eyes around the well furnished office."come on Kate... You and I know that you've not come this long way to compliment me.." Wilson remarked "What is the visit a
Amelia was in a heated argument with Laurel after she announced the new of her father's arrest."Harrison, are you aware of this?" She asked staring at Harrison with her hands akimbo"I told you, he was taken from the office into the cop's car, Harrison must not have noticed that" Laurel said trying to calm Amelia down."Oh please,shut up" Amelia fired at her. "How am I sure you're saying the truth" She asked in an angry tone.Laurel who was slightly annoyed ignored her question and stared at her for some seconds in silence. "He told me to tell you that you'll be back" She said in a low voice."What, why are you staring at me like that, will you beat me if I ask you to shut up" Amelia asked without concern."I've told you what your father wants me to tell you, I'll take my leave now" She replied instead, trying hard to surpress the anger that was beginning to envelope her."No... No.." Amelia announced immediately "You ain't going anywhere until my father returns" Amelia said.She sig
