*** *** Grandma Joan entered her study room, ushering Alina inside."How are you feeling?""Um... I'm good?" Alina replied, walking gingerly behind her grandmother.The last time she had met her, they fought so she wondered what the impromptu meeting is all about."Take a seat." Grandma Joan told her.She sat opposite her Grandma, staring at her questioningly.Grandma Joan cleared and throat and regards Alina."I know you must be wondering why I called you.""Yes, did I do something wrong?" Alina asks."No... I want to talk about Javier's body and the CEO of Nolvani. I'll go with the CEO of Nolvani first."Alina nods, urging to continue."It's no surprise that we want you engaged to the CEO of Nolvani.""Yeah..... It's pretty obvious.""And since you decided to choose your husband over a reputable human like that. What if we make you his mistress? How's that?"Alina wore a frown instantly, "His what??!""His mistress. That will help the family in so many ways.""I don't care about th
*** ***"Hayley!" Clyde exclaims, jumping from his sit eagerly, "Am I forgiven now?""Yeah maybe in your dreams.""Hayleyy....""I came to pack my things, I'm going back to my hometown.""You know it is really dangerous for you.""Dangerous, you say? Just like how I have been with you this last few months.""Hayley, I'm really sorry. I don't know what I can do to make you know how sorry I am.""You know need to do anything. You only proved how dangerous you can be!!""For the sake of our daughter, please, let's talk this through.""Not interested Clyde. You should resume whoring about because I am not coming back to you." Hayley snaps, fighting back her tears. She finally trusted him, heck she was crazily in love with him and he chose to destroy it!?"If I can turn back the hands of time,, I would and do things a lot more differently. Please you are not safe. Fine you can choose not to talk to me or pretend I don't exist but please don't leave, not when it's dangerous outside.,"Hayle
*** ***"Heyy, what's going on with you. I have been seeing you staring into nothingness since morning.""Yeah? Really?""You look particularly stressed too, is something going on with you?""No... Nothing is wrong." Alina says quickly, walking around the counter and disappearing into one of the rooms."Olivia was hot on her heels instantly."You can talk to me Alina, what is bothering you so much?""Leave it Olivia.""I'm not going to leave it. I don't care of you push me away or not. I'm always here for you. I know somehow you are hurting, let me make it up to you. Should we have a girl's night to relieve ourselves from these stress and tension building.""I don't need one.""Come on Alina, if you think for one second that I'm going to leave you, then you better think again.""What do you want Olivia?" Alina asks quietly, with a sigh.""I want to know what bothering you. Is it because...""Grandma Joan called me for a meeting" Alina announces."Omg!! Is it because of the restaurant?
*** ***Ryan was out, taking a night stroll. Over the past days, he's always felt like he was been followed which was why he is taking night stroll, hell bent on catching whoever it was following him or confirm if he was just hallucinating.He glanced back from the corner of his eyes and disappears through an alley, waiting for the person to follow after him.Then he doubles back just in time to see the person looking around.He walks stealthily towards the person and places a pocket knife on his follower's throat."Who are you and why have you been following me?"He felt the person stiffened."Devin, my name is Devin!.""Am I supposed to know you?""I am Alex's personal assistant.""Alex Morbian?" Ryan asks."Yes." Devin nods.Ryan removes the knife and returns in his pocket, "Why have you been following me? Does your boss or you're here or did he put you up to this?""I need your help." Devin turns around to face Ryan."My help?" Ryan echoed."Yes." Devin replies and falls on his kn
*** ***"Yumi!" Jonas scoffs, watching her retreating figure.Yumi stops in the kitchen, her hand on the cabinet, as she tried to calm her racing heart.Jonas is awake!! Her brain kept reminding her, she didn't know if she should be happy or not. It was really crazy.How did he wake up so fast.Even more so, he lost his memory, meaning she can make him believe whatever she wants him to. This is a miracle in disguise, yet, why is she so scared?It's not like anyone is going to burst her lies. No one was there except her, Jonas, Adams and Trish. And those two know better that to appear before Jonas..She takes in steadying breaths, calls Dr Thomas and returns to the room with a lemonade, Jonas favorite drink."Oh, look who's back!" Jonas says sarcastically."I got you your favourite drink." Yumi tells him."You were so eager to get me a drink that you ran outside?""And to also call your Doctor.""You mean yours? Because I only know of Doctors in a real hospital, not at home and they
*** ***"Can I talk to you?" Ethan asks, entering the room he shred with Ryan."Sure, what's it?"Ethan sat at the scoots a chair closer to him, to seat. "Don't you think it is time for you to stop the facade, let everyone know who you are, let the fear you.""I don't think I am ready for that just yet, not when I have a family that still wants me dead to get my inheritance.""If you stop with the disguise, you'll get more and even tighter protection."Ryan furrowed his eyebrows, "are you saying you don't want to be my bodyguard anymore?""What?! No! I would never do that. But, as you already know I am not always there to protect you.""I am well capable of protecting myself.""No doubt about that. But still, you've been in hiding for a long time..""That's right!" Ryan agrees."And you are barely getting anything done with your disguise, instead, you are getting more added to your plate.""So coming out is the best answer?""I think so." Ethan nods. "You've changed, a lot from when y
*** ***Devin sat by a bridge, legs dangling above the water as he thought about Ryan's condition to help Alex.With a devil of a father and self centered boss like Mr Morbian. How is he going to get his hands on the deed to the company.It is a mission impossible!Devin groans into his hands, angry with himself. If only he had not listened to Mr Morbian. If only!!Mr Morbian doesn't trust anyone, not even the bank to keep his deed. The closest person to have his trust would be his wife, Melinda..But if by some crazy chance Melinda knows where the deed is, there's no way she would willingly disclose. She loves her husband so much she would take a bullet for him and although she cares about Alex in her own way, she never interfered whenever Mr Morbian was hurting Alex. Right now his only option is to surrender to Mr Morbian, even at the cost of his life.If he can some how get closer to Mr Morbian, closer enough to be able to tell where a man like him would keep the deed to his compa
*** *** ***Even though a part of her knew he couldn't be the one, she couldn't help herself as she walked down the path that leads to his apartment."Yeah? How may I help you? Olivia answered the door."Oh hey, it's you. Forgotten soul. Call your brother for me.""How can you remember a forgotten soul?" Olivia taunted "And whatever do you need Ryan for?""It's none of your business. Kids shouldn't interfere in adults matters.""When you learn to talk with manners come back."Olivia stepped backwards and slammed the door on her face."Wait!" Zara yelped, eyeing the door, "You are not going to slam that on me, right?"Olivia fixed her a look slams the door in her face.."How dare you Olivia?" Zara screeched, hitting her hand on the door furiously."Like you said it's my brother's house and I can do whatever the heck I want!" Olivia yells back.Zara stomps her foot on the floor angrily, how was Olivia still living with Alina."Do you need help?" Zara heard a voice sound behind her."Spe
