Peter and Kayla left the hospital, and as usual, Peter asked some of his smart men to keep an eye on Tyler so no one would hurt him. They left the room talking about his eyes and how funny they looked. They were by the hospital when Peter's phone rang. "Hello,” he answered the strange caller.“That wasn't the agreement, and you know it,” Frederick's voice blared from the end of the phone. Kayla watched Peter's face as he spoke into the phone. She was already irritated by the caller's entitlement. “You thought you were smart; well, I am smarter, and I just wanted to let you know that you are just a big joke. Enjoy the downfall of your company, and I hope you are persecuted fairly. Never meddle in my affairs again." Peter barked into the phone and ended the call. There was no way he would spend a minute talking to the bastard over the phone.“Who was that? Kayla asked as she got into the car with Peter. “Frederick”.“What does he want? Hasn't he done enough damage already? She aske
As the van rumbled away, the atmosphere inside was tense. Fredrick winced in pain as the medical team examined his wound, their expressions grim. Outside, the station loomed, a perfect reminder of the impending trial.Peter paced back and forth in the dimly lit hospital room, his mind a whirlwind of conflicting emotions. Relief flooded through him like a warm current as he replayed the scene of Frederick being led away in handcuffs by the FBI agents. Finally, justice was served, and the nightmare that had plagued his life for so long was coming to an end.Tyler, lying in the hospital bed, watched Peter with a mixture of concern and curiosity. "Hey, Pete, are you okay?" he asked, his voice weak but filled with genuine worry.Peter turned to face him, a smile spreading across his face. "Yeah, Ty, I'm more than okay. I'm ecstatic! Frederick's been caught. He won't be able to hurt anyone else ever again."Tyler let out a sigh of relief, his tense shoulders relaxing against the pillows. "T
Kayla hurried into the building. She had not finished her work design for the presentation she will be having in a few hours.All the chaos during the week had made her not conclude what she had to do. She raced up the stairs through the ground floor and went up to take the elevator to the fourth floor, where her office is. She scurried fast, and when she landed on the first floor, she didn't bother to look at anyone but the mission she had ahead of her.She hurriedly went into her assistant's office. Alex was busy too when she got in.“Good morning, ma'am.“. Alex greeted her happily and helped her carry her bag in.“Are you done with the design for the marketing agency on the 6th floor? You know they are only a few steps away from here. We need to finish it so they don't see our company as incompetent like the others.”."Yes, I have that done already.".“Oh! That's great. You know I have a presentation after now, and I need time to finish up a few things. No one must come here until
Alex rummaged through her phone and dialed Peter's phone. She panicked as he picked “Sir, Kayla slumped at work, and we are at the hospital." She panicked. “What hospital?” Peter asked.“Landmark Specialist Hospital," She said over the phone.“Okay, stay calm. I will be with you shortly." Peter said that and dropped the call. This was his fiancée; she was as important to him as he was to himself. He hurriedly snatched his keys from his desk and headed for his car in the parking lot.Peter's heart sprinted as he bolted through the large office corridors, his mind swirling with a flood of worry. Kayla, his lovely fiancée, was in the hospital, and he couldn't afford to waste a single moment. The tenacity in Alex's voice had ignited a wildfire of concern within him, driving him to move with an adrenaline speed he hadn't known he possessed before now.Outside, the air was crisp and a bit smokey, and it did barely little to calm his nerves as he fumbled with his car keys, his hands shakin
Alex stayed back in the room and watched the nurses do what they had to do. Fixing the drip line on her wrist while Kayla still lay unconscious on the bed. She watched till they finished, and then she brought out her phone and called their boss to report the situation.“We have finished, and there is no need for you to panic; your friend would be fine. She should be awake after a while,” the nurse informed her. Alex nodded even though she doesn’t understand what’s going on with Kayla yet, but whatever it is, she believes that Peter will handle it.Meanwhile, at the doctor’s office, Peter sat even more nervous than the first time he had come into the hospital. The doctor’s office is a large, neatly arranged room with nice white blinds, a center table and chair for the doctor, and three extra chairs for visitors. On the left side is an artificial hibiscus flower, standing in its glory. The office had a nice fragrance other than the drug-lingering room he had been in before. It was chill
The doctor nodded at him with a smile on his face after Peter asked the question with excitement in his tone. There is no way he is going back home without making sure Kayla gets all the attention and care she needs to be on her feet.“Okay, that’s some good news there. I mean, I wasn’t expecting all of that." Peter confessed to the doctor. He looked a bit confused. “I guess it’s time for us to get started with tests so we can get the blood donation done as soon as possible." Peter suggested. The doctor nodded and called the nurses to come take Peter to the lab so they could run a few tests on him. In no time, everything was done, and it turned out that he could actually donate so much blood to her.“You feel okay?” Dr. Jakes asked Peter, who had been looking at his hand for the longest time.“Yeah, everything is fine; I just feel strange. I mean, I haven’t really done any of this before. I feel like my soul left my body." Peter said, laughing and looking at the bandage on his hand.
Peter was still sitting on the couch, his jacket resting pretty on the arm of the couch. Moving and tossing her feet a couple of times on the bed, Kayla opened her eyes to meet Peter’s peering eyes looking deep into her soul."Peter,” she called out his name in shock.“Kayla You are awake. Thank goodness. I thought you were going to die and leave me. I was so afraid." He said to her as she held him by the side.“Come off it, man. I’m not dying anytime soon; it’s just a little relapse. That’s all. I will be back on my feet before you know it." She said she was feigning a smile at him amidst her pain.“Is that blood?’ She asked, pointing at the sack of red liquid going into her body."Yes, is it my blood? I guess you and I are going to stick together now without any interruption." Peter teased. He poked her nose a little bit.She chuckled. What do you even mean by that?” She asked in rhetoric.“I can’t wait to get the hell out of here." She said it with a sigh and tried to get up to a s
What do we do from here?” Kayla asked as Peter put her in the car; she has been discharged from the hospital. Kayla scowled at the frustration in her heart. Damn! Her hair just won’t behave. She had slept over at the hospital, and with all the doctor’s prescriptions, she only thinks she would be fine after a longer rest at home. Thankfully, her boss had witnessed everything, so it wouldn’t be a crime now if she stayed off work for some more days. She peered into the mirror and pressed the hair down with her hand. Peter got in from the driver’s seat and observed her mood.“Is there a problem, Kayla?” He asked like a very normal man who cares would do. Kayla sighed again. My hair won’t behave, and it’s giving me some form of concern." She said she was letting it go. The hair bounced up again. Peter laughed. He covered his mouth with his hand, so Kayla didn’t know, but unknown to him, she was staring at him while he looked away, laughing at her.“You laughing at me, Peter?’ She said and
