"Ty, can we talk?" She remained at the door, fidgeting, shifting from one foot to another. He threw her a glance, then returned to the show he was watching.Helen didn't make any attempt to walk in. The last time she did that, she had to wear heavy makeup for a week. When he didn't say anything, she decided it was better to leave, but just as she turned, she heard his voice."I'm not deaf."She stopped, processing his words in seconds."It's just that we haven't spoken since you got back. I was hoping we could… maybe do lunch. There's this quiet spot in town, they make very tasty spaghetti. I thought… thought we could uhm… try it out? If you want… that is… I can understand if…""Who did you go with?" He interrupted."Huh?""Don't play dumb with me. Who was with you when you 'discovered' this perfect spot?" Tyrone's attention was fully fixed on her now."No one. I was by myself. I…" the words got stuck in her throat when Tyrone got off the chair. "I was with no one, please. I stumbled
“You're right. There is no need for you keep her or cater for her child even. You have no intention of marrying her as well, right?” Zachary asked. “I already made it clear to you from the start but you insisted I stick with her since she was already pregnant with a child that might not even be mine,” Tyrone arrogantly said.Zachary said nothing to that. To an extent, Tyrone was right. He had been through one pushing his grandson to keep a woman he clearly didn't want. He just hoped it wasn't too late to make amends. “Fine, I will take responsibility for her from now on. You can go ahead with your normal life,” Zachary informed him.“Are you serious?” Tyrone asked.“Yes. Just do me a favor and stay away from Helen form now own. You have no right over her or her daughter. Feel free to remarry if you want to, but this would be the last time you will see her. Is that understood?” Tyrone frowned deeply. Everything seemed to be in his favour until the man stated he had no right over Hel
Tyrone arrived at the hospital, he was fuming from both anger and worry. He stormed into the ward and glared at the unconscious form with annoyance. “This is all your fault. Why did you have to slip into a coma from such a small fall, huh? If it was that deep, why didn't you just die?” He spat. “Ever since you came into my life, it has been from one shit to another! Why can't you just die and let me have the peace I deserve?!” He yelled. “Won't you say anything?” He matched to her bedside. “Why don't you ever say anything? Why do you have to beat it all? Why can't you fight back? Why… why can't you leave so that I can be with the woman I love?” His tone softened. He sat by her side and stroked her hair gently. “I know I haven't been the best partner, but please do this one thing for me. Just wake up so my daughter will be safe, please. I'll do anything,” he pleaded. He waited by her side for several minutes but nothing happened. He left the ward and went to meet the doctor.“Is
Tyrone thought Olivia was completely calm until the next two hours. She literally set his eyes ablaze with complaints and yelling. It went from one tantrum to the other and all he wanted to do was bury himself somewhere deep where no one could find him. To worsen the situation, no one would disclose Zade's whereabouts. Even the trackers he hired couldn't find him or pretended not to. His grandfather wouldn't hear a word of it. Probably because he didn't know his great grand daughter was involved. There were so many times he was tempted to scream out the truth, maybe he would get the answers he needed, but after considering the consequences, he bottled everything in. He couldn't afford anyone knowing the truth. Not even Olivia. She knew he was from a wealthy family and had dealings with the mafia but that was far as her knowledge went. She didn't know he had another child and a woman he had promised to marry a couple of years ago.Olivia was an overthinker so there was no freaking
"Where have you been? It's been two days and I couldn't even reach you on the phone," Adera asked the minute he stepped into the house. "Busy."He proceeded upstairs to take a shower. Adera was surprised at the curt response, but she waved it off as stress. Zade had never been rude in his responses to her so he was probably in a bad mood and needed space. She opted to fix him something to eat instead of bugging him with questions. He would tell her everything eventually. She had a lot to tell him as well. In just forty-eight hours, a lot of things had gone wrong. First, Roselia had summoned a secret meeting with the shareholders of Parallax and then there were lawsuits against her father for confiscation of private properties and murder. She suspected everything was somehow connected to Roselia but she didn't have proof. The woman was quite smart. While they were busy preparing for her to take the will to court, she'd opted for more strategic targets. Consequently, if she couldn'
It was instant The feeling of regret ate deep into him in the safety of his room. The guilt of rubbing a memory she desperately wanted to forget in her face. His mind was actively spewing echoes of the words that should have never left his lips. The hurt in her eyes haunted him even when he was wide awake. He should have kept his cool. Controlled his temper even though she refused to see things from his point of view. Tyrone had to suffer. Even though Adera thought him cruel and it was heartless of him to keep a child from her parents his morality meant nothing to him at the moment. Tyrone had to learn the hard way that it was not okay to hurt people. His approach to the situation might not be the best but it was the most effective.He could care less if Tyrone did the same to Olivia but Helen was very special to him. That woman was lying helplessly on the hospital bed just because she fell in love with the wrong man and no one seemed to care about it. Helen was like a sister t
Adera squeezed the water out of the cloth and gently wiped Helen's body. "Hey, you. Aren't you tired of just lying down there, doing nothing? People just make decisions for. you because you're not there to give your opinion on anything," Adera spoke to her unconscious form. She dipped the cloth into the warm water again, then paused to look at Helen. "Somehow, I understand why Zade is so angry. You've been with Tyrone for so many years and he does this to you? You must really want to kill him sometimes."She stood up to wipe Helen's neck. "But I think you should wake up soon. Zade is about to do something drastic and I'm pretty sure he will regret it for the rest of his life. I tried to reason with him of course, but I ended up shooting myself in the foot."She heard someone clear their throat behind her and turned. Her brow rose as she pinned the very idiot she was talking about."Something drastic. I wonder what that could be," Tyrone walked into the ward. Adera proceeded to ign
"Dera you need to calm down. This might not even be what you think," Elizabeth tried to calm her down. "You think so? This is his room, Liz. Our room. You know what, let's go there right now," Adera said. "I think you have a point. Let's go check it out ourselves, instead of jumping to conclusions," Elizabeth accepted. They got into the car and drove straight to his mansion. The first thing Adera noticed was the Mercedes. It wasn't one of Zade's cars but she didn't comment on it. She was willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. Elizabeth understood the situation as well, but she trusted Zade. He wasn't that stupid to let Roselia back into his life after everything she'd done to him.They spotted a female bag as they walked past the living room. Elizabeth glanced at Adera, but the woman's gaze was fixed ahead. Once they got to the room, she turned the knob but the door refused to open. She continued trying until she got angry and resorted to banging on it instead."Zade! Ope
