Thiago had made the call that day, and Ezra said he was on his way.Arriving at Thiago house, he walked over to the living room and took his seat.“Mr. Thiago. It's been a couple of days now and you're not saying anything still. I wonder what that Dustin is saying to you right now.” He said Thiago joined him and sat down. “Well, you're here now. That has to count for something.” He said to him.“See this,” Ezra said, then brought out some pills. “Every time I give them to your wife, she's always better, isn't it?” Ezra asked.“Well you seem to have connections with some really good doctors then, don't you.” Thiago said. “Too bad that Dustin was not even powerful enough to solve your wife's problem. Or was he successful?” Ezra said.“Apparently, he wasn't. He only did that day. The next day, my wife was already sick again. Dustin said something every funny however. But I wouldn't like to dwell on that.” Thiago said.“And what is that?” asked Ezra.“This pill you bring every week, how
Laura's mother came around and saw that Lorena was angry. Dustin walked out and they were talking together in an argument.She couldn't hear what they were saying but she heard a bit from it. And it was enough for her to hurry up and dial her daughter's number.“Hey! You won't believe it.” She began, “I heard something very surprising about Dustin and I just knew it. I knew something was up!” She said.Laura who was already on her way, rolled her eyes at her mother's story. “Mom, what is it now?” she frowned.“Wait, are you on your way somewhere?” She asked “Of course. I just got down from the cab. I'm on my way in.” Laura said.“Wait outside. I'm on my way to meet you!” She said, and with that, ran out like crazy. “Mom, what is it? Wait, what are you even doing here?” Laura frowned at her mother.“Honestly I come here often now. Dustin has really changed! And then, I met my old friend Lorena, who is by the way, hiding something very important.” explained her mother.“Wait, why are
Dustin shook his head in denial. “Laura, how far will you go with this lie? How can you even proudly say this?”“Because it's not a lie! I was hoping that I wouldn't have to say it to you. I thought that maybe I would have been better financially, but I guess I was wrong!” Laura said.Alara was watching through the drama. When she couldn't take it any more, she excused herself and shut the door gently behind. Deep down, although it wasn't in her position to speak at all, she knew that Laura was lying! Only looking for a means to trap Dustin.“We did sleep together at some point, and–”She was saying, but bit her lips almost immediately.Through out their marriage, the only time they'd shared passionate nights together was during their honeymoon phase! And that was early around two-four weeks after their wedding. After that time, Laura just seemed disappointed in him and never slept on his bed again!So how could she be pregnant for him! Dustin revealed a soft contending smile. She was
“What are you talking about, Tom?” Dustin frowned at him.“Boys! Bring the thief to me right now.” the bar owner said.His men dragged Dustin over to him. Tom was beside him,still proud of calling him a thief.“There's been a misunderstanding here, clearly!” Dustin said. “No. That diamond ring of yours, that you tell us about. It's missing. And guess who took it, him!” Tom said.“You're mad friend! How can you say that?!” Dustin exclaimed. “Diamond ring? What the hell?”“Check your secret place. Is it still there?” Tom said to the man. He looked around, then went in to check his supposed secret place. Running outside, he yelled. “No. It's gone! Don't let that man out of your sight. You have some explaining to do, young man.” He said to Dustin.“Tom, this isn't funny again. What do you mean I stole a diamond ring? Why would I even do that?” Dustin said to him.“Let me tell you why, because it looks very expensive!” Tom said, then turned to face the bar owner. “He said that he was br
He waited but nothing happened again. Then the bar owner walked outside. He was really tall for any man at all. Though slender too, he still looked intimidating.“You know, I've heard so much about men like you before. I just can't believe that I would happen to meet one here in real life.” He said to him.“Men like me?what's that's supposed to mean?” Dustin frowned.From the look of things, Dustin had a conclusion drawn. He would try to stall for as long as he could. Maybe somehow, Thiago would have finally picked up and come around. He would have called if Vincent and Bobby, but he wanted to solve this problem on his own.“Yes. Thieves. Liars. Arrogant fools.” Replied the man.“Let me just tell you this,” Dustin said. “I can save myself here. There are many ways I can do that. But for some reason, I find myself wanting to prove something to you. To never judge a book by its cover.” Dustin said.“I want a drink. Something very strong.” He said. The man roared out in laughter but he la
Dustin had decided that very night to visit Mr. Whales. He needed information on who the so-called A-Club Team were, what it was all about. Maybe that would fetch him some closure. Maybe that could explain why his father was a member of such team!“Where's your boss?” He asked as he arrived the place. He couldn't find that Freddy guy anywhere.“Who's asking?” the man by the counter asked. “You know what, never mind. I'll just give him a call now.” He tried calling Mr. Whales but his number wasn't going through.The man gave a snorted laughter. “There's no way you're going to be able to reach him. Boss is busy. Come back later!” He yelled.Dustin sighed, seeing his mission was fruitless. He walked out of the bar.Heading home, he came to meet another surprise. “Laura? What the hell are you doing here!” “Hello, Dustin.” Laura said with a smile on her face.“Do you need me to file a restraining order on you?? I don't get it. What is it with you? It's quite over between us, isn't it? Yo
“We'll be going for test. Here, come meet us at this hospital by 12pm tomorrow. Then we'll start the test!” Laura's mother said to Dustin. Then they left.The next day, Dustin was all prepared. He called his driver and asked him to get him prepared for the special occasion. He would be heading to the hospital to check whether his wife is actually pregnant or not.Heading there at last, he looked around and saw Laura waiting in the lobby already.“Hey you're here already.” He said to her.She smiled. “Actually, we've been here for a while now. I had a little complication so I came for a check up.” Laura said.She was on a green floral dress that highlighted her lovely physique just fine.“Are you okay? What's up?” Dustin asked. He found himself looking worried.“Actually, I'm fine. Thanks to the doctor's special drug. I'm fine now.” She said to him with a smile.“You look good today.” Dustin found himself saying to her. Deep down he began to wonder,“Could she really be having my baby?
The sun adorned the sky that day as if it were a wishing well of molten gold.Dustin's good mood wasn't bright sun, yet the kind of rays that awaken the colors of the day at dawn. It was a soft happy vibe, gentle and steady. He walked back into the hospital after a long while had passed.Laura was back. She came out and made her presence noticed. “The doctor is true. We should wait for a while for the test result to come out.” She announced. She came to seat beside her mother and Dustin. Then she frowned at her mother and whispered something in her ear.“Fine..if that's what you think anyway! I'll leave and be right back!” She said. She looked angry but she walked away.“What did you say to her!” Dustin said smiling.“Well you don't worry. I just wanted to have some alone time with you.that's all.” She said..seeing that Dustin was smiling, she smiled as well.“Remember that your mom is always hot tempered.? You know that day when you exclaimed that you needed to head out for a meeti
