Now when Tori had mentioned that Isla might have been hiding something, he had definitely not meant for her to spill such dark secrets like that!Owen? What Owen? His same brother in law??Doris's younger brother!?He feared a lot of things that instant. Nobody was there to trust. Nathan was really in a big mess and there was nearly no one to save him but himself!He decided to be calm, and tried so hard not to panic. Since he had tried the detective game on her, he would be patient till the end.The third step was to remain even more calm. This would let the other person spill more than they were supposed to. "Owen, he asked me to come into your life and seduce you. Because he's jealous of his sister apparently, and wishes for her not to win the bid." Everyone really hated him and his wife, Nathan thought. "So I agreed. But then, I got carried away by falling for you... " She said slowly and Nathan had to pause to make sure he caught up with her words. What had she meant?? Fallin
Fernando was up early that morning. Something had to be done. After everything he had said to Nathan, after all his several attempts to stop him from digging further, still, the young man wouldn't relent. In his bed that morning, he began to strategize what his next plan would be. Nathan would listen to him that time. He rose up from his bed, then headed straight to the bathroom to freshen up. Once he was out, he called up the maids and alerted each and everyone of them to strictly mind their businesses for that day, and do only their chores. He hoped he and Nathan's conversation wouldn't resolve into a fight. He hoped so. ✩★✩Fernando's call woke Nathan up that morning, asking for a face to face meeting with him. Nathan frowned. After he had declined him days ago stating that he was busy.But Nathan had no other choice. He got dressed up and left to see the old man.Soon enough, he arrived at the man's house. Suspiciously, the maids all eyed him with some sort of eyes, expression
Doris jumped up from bed, and she feared her heart would jump out of her skin.The same nightmare over and over, every night!She scanned around and saw that Nathan was still lying beside her. That alone gave her some form of warmth. She drew in a sharp breath, wondering what it was that she could do to stop that nightmare from coming to reality. In her nightmare, she was all alone with unknown eyes watching her. She was crying, terrified. She was alone. For days now she has been having that dream. Then that particular night, she saw it differently. Normally she always saw Nathan walking towards a cliff, then he would nearly fall, but she would wake up before he did. That night however, Nathan was leaving her. She called for him, but he was already at the cliff, and something was pulling him down there. Something that must have been so strong and powerful. Before she knew it, he fell straight down the cliff!. And she was all alone.✩★✩The next morning, Nathan was all dressed up r
Doris waited a bit lot anticipating her husband's return, and slowly, the feeling of worry began to creep into her mind. What if something bad had happened? Will he be alright? Would she end up being all alone as her series of nightmares had painted? Series of disturbing question, and neither of them seemed easy to reply. What what worst was the feeling of confusion. Being left in the dark was such a scary feeling for one to feel. She remembered the words of her aunt; Fear is natural and there to keep you alive and happy, yet where it has been weaponised and fashioned into a cage, one is honour bound to break free.How could she not be afraid? After all the series of nightmares she had seen for the past week, and especially the one she had that particular morning. Soon, she began to call. Twenty calls later and Nathan was still out of reach... No reply. "Fuck. Nathan, are you okay?" She muttered to herself, then realized that her husband was probably doing alright. "Yea Doris, do
That evening when Evelyn got home, she decided to make it aware of awareness for husband. Their family's financial crisis was growing even more threatening, and for some reason, they won't announce the winner of the company's bidders for over several months now! There had to be another way and she couldn't think further than her option. She called Thomas and sat him down in the living room. "Our family's financial crisis is growing further, and it's becoming scary. We might actually have to go back to the streets." Thomas frowned. "You were always in the streets. Not me." "Well either way, you'll be done for." "Of course, because you'll find another rich man who would be a fool to your pretense--" "Nobody's trying to pick a fight with you, Thomas. So shut your horses." Evelyn warned. "You know what, I'll take care of myself. And you should too!" Immediately, Thomas began to imagine how bad it would be if they actually returned back to being poor. Sure his family were doing fine
Kevin was not high, not low, just a happy feeling that was a bit elevated.His good mood wasn't bright sun, yet the kind of rays that awakened the colors of the day at dawn. It was a soft happy vibe, gentle and steady.Who wouldn't be? With his mother finally soon to be discharged from the hospital, he couldn't be any happy! He was walking on about his normal day on his way to work, until he received the phone call. A young lady had been meaning to see him, from the company where they had bought his art. Kevin had been desperate, and so, because he needed the money, he risked his identity from secrecy. It was true that he could draw. He could make art like no other person else. He was talented, no doubt about that. But his mother's words still resided in his head,"we have to protect ourselves. And to do that, your identity must be kept secret." When he had asked what she meant, she explained to him that she had been born into a ruthless family and that she was put into a coma becau
Kevin was all set with the procedures the young lady had asked him to follow, but he paused at the part when she asked him about the time he would be traveling. She asked for his whereabouts and he couldn't talk. Instead, he had told her that he would like to talk to her. He was on his way to the hospital, the cold wind prickling his skin. His mother would not be happy with him if he went ahead of his decision without involving her, and he knew that much. Once he arrived, he was greeted by some of the staff of the hospital, then they directed him to the new room where his mother had been moved to since he was still struggling with getting the location. Soon, he was seated next to his mom, "hello beautiful," he said to her and the gray-haired woman smiled. She was beautiful with two dimples crinkling as she smiled. Her eyes were bright and filled with life once again. "Kevin, how are you?" She asked him, and he smiled back. "I'm fine mom, I see you are as well." "I am. Honestly,
"Alright then, I will be sure to contact you later," Manuel said on the phone to a business partner. "Alright then. Thank you very much." Then he hung up. Drawing a heavy sigh, he threw the phone across the bed and bloodshot red eyes stared into nothingness. He was cooking up a new plan, a selfish one at that. Evelyn could always tell. "Is everything okay?" She decided to ask, even when she knew clearly that he wouldn't even give much of an audience to her. Manuel had been acting strange for some time now. It was true that he got accepted as a member of the Dragons not too long ago, barely two weeks ago. After all those long years of pleading. But that was certainly not enough reason for him to have grown cold to her and everyone around. It was certainly not a reason to act cold at all to her. She had stood by his side all those weeks now, and what was he rewarding her with? Silence and awkward behaviors.Manuel stared and nearly jumped out of his skin. "You're still here?" He asked
