Janet could not help but scream when she noticed that Bryan was not moving. She rushed over to where he was and vigorously shook him."Bryan. Bryan." She kept calling out the name as she shook his body. "I'm sorry, Bryan. I didn't mean to push that hard."Confused, Janet stood up and paced around the house. She was oblivious of what to do next. There was no one at home.Since she gave her mother some money, she was able to get the coffee shop running again so she was at the place. Janet ran to the kitchen and opened the refrigerator with the intention of getting some cold water. Returning to the place where Bryan still lay unconsciously, Janet tried to put some water on his face but decided against it. She was not sure that pouring water on him would revive him.She went over to the dining table and placed the jug of water on it. Hastily, she walked over to the couch where she had been sitting and retrieved her phone. Sliding her fingers through it, Janet tapped on Rosaline's number
"Hey lady. How dare you scratch my car? And you have the nerve to confront me after you didn't look properly at the road." Janet blurted out as soon as she came out of the car. Bryan followed behind with his left hand held against the place where he hit the wall. Their car was in a good shape compared to Jesse's but Janet could not blame herself for what happened. Instead she turned it around and put the blame on Jesse. Jesse just glanced at her and chuckled. She had heard about such people but hadn't come in contact with them."Hmmm."Jesse let out a fake smile. With her left hand lifted above her head, she tousled her hair and stared at the aloof lady. Bryan just stood there without a word, his hand still on his head in a massage. He really didn't want another drama. All he wanted was to go and get himself treated at the clinic.However, he had no say when it came to Janet. She wouldn't even let him intrude in such a matter even though it was his vehicle involved. And especially as
As the police vehicle pulled over at a side, two officers alighted and approached the people."What is going on here?" One of the men asked and Jesse stepped forward. "Officer, look at my car." She pointed to her car that had some scratches on it."That lady crashed my car and is trying to get away with it. She's refusing to pay for the damages."Janet and Bryan alighted from their car and the officers approached them. "Ma'am, Is she telling the truth? Did you crash her car and refuse to compensate her for the damages?"Janet was speechless.She was at fault and she knew it. If she said anything that she shouldn't, they might end up at the police station. Anxiously, She lifted her hand and started scratching her head."Ma'am, did you scratch her car and refuse to pay for the damages?" The officer calmly asked again.Janet glanced at Bryan who stood there speechless and turned to face the policemen. "Sir, It wasn't intentional. She is also at fault here. Look at our own car, she also
After the confrontation from his step brother, Arthur was a little enraged and decided not to go home. Since he won't be going to work the next day, he decided to hang out somewhere and have a few drinks. Moreover, there were still a few hours before midnight.Arthur sat in forlorn taking sips from his bottle of beer. He was one who only takes alcohol occasionally. However, it had been a very long time since he drank beer. For the two years he worked at the hotel, he never tasted alcohol because he was afraid it'll lead to his sack when his manager found out. It might cause him to get a hangover and wake up late for work. Arthur didn't want anything like that unless he was ready to live in the streets.Taking one sip from his drink, Arthur let out a deep sigh as his thoughts wandered. He just remembered the last time he argued with father. The man was so enraged at him that he didn't even let him defend himself."Honey, If you let him get away with this, it means that you're indulging
Lifting his face, Arthur saw a slim figure standing before him. The lady had a nice body curve that gave her black gown a good fitting. She had a beautiful smile which captivated Arthur. He managed to force a smile at her and replied."Do I really look troubled?"The lady nodded her head. "Yeah, I noticed you from my seat and saw that you were clenching your fists so hard and biting your lip. You seem to be lost and I was worried that you'd hurt yourself."Arthur hummed at the lady. He was oblivious of what he was doing while his thoughts went back on a painful memory. He had left everything for Bryan and his mother yet they won't let him be."I… ugh… I'm fine. Thank you for your concern." Arthur said and took a sip from his drink while tilting his head. He was waiting for the lady to go away but she still stood there.He lifted his face and his gaze met with the lady who was still standing."Miss, Is there anything you want me to help you with?" Arthur asked but the lady only smiled
With his mouth agape, Arthur stood from his chair as he watched Jesse approach them. Turning to the lady beside him, he asked. "So Jesse is your sister?"The lady nodded, she was seemingly confused. "Do you also know her?"Arthur nodded his head. "She's my boss at the mall and also my friend."Jenny gave Arthur a puzzled look. Before she could say anything more, Jesse stood before them and was somewhat confused. She was wondering how her sister and Arthur became close. She hadn't introduced them before."Ugh, what is going on here?"Turning to Arthur, she asked. "Arthur, what are you doing here? And, have you two known each other before?"Arthur only shook his head. He was confused as well. What a coincidence. He didn't know that the lady he had been having a talk with was Jesse's sister. What if he had told her about his problems and his past. Some people tend to freely speak about their life when they have some alcohol in their system. Arthur was grateful that he was not one to dri
"How did you know the kind of vehicle they were riding?" Jesse took out her phone to check online. Maybe someone had made a video of the incident. "Are you sure you didn't see it online? Although I didn't notice anyone making a video. They were all so angry at the lady that they were all focused on finding out what would happen."Jesse kept scanning through the social media to see if there was any video like that online.Jenny was confused because she was just learning of it.Seeing the lady seriously scanning through her phone, Arthur spoke up. "I'm not sure if it's on social media.""What really happened?" Jenny asked as she was still puzzled but her sister didn't answer her."So tell me, how did you know about the car they drove on since it isn't in the media?" Jesse directed her question to Arthur and there was nothing else he had to do but lie. If he hadn't opened his big mouth to talk, the question would not have come up.Letting out a deep sigh, Arthur said to her. "I think we
"What?" Janet said, her voice was raised that if there were people around, they'd turn their necks in the couple's direction."You guys want to get rid of him, why?""Shhhh." Bryan quickly hushed her before anyone would hear what she said. Although no one was seen on the beach, he needed to be extra careful. Janet's mouth was still agape as she gazed at Bryan. She could be anything else but a murderer."Why would you want to do such a sinister thing? I'm not going to be part of such evil because I'm not ready to spend the rest of my life in prison. If anything happens to him, the police would start investigating and all the evidence would be pointed at you and your mother. Remember, you guys are the reason he was thrown out and disinherited. Please, that's a no for me."Janet made her points clear and Bryan tilted his head."Calm down J, we're just going to scare him so he won't come closer. Remember, if he comes back home and gets to share the properties with me, you won't get so mu
