*** *** **"Who are you?" He rasped out, his voice thick with curiosity.Yumi gasps out in surprise."Re... Really?""Am I supposed to know you?" Jonas glares at her, "Are you one of those pitiful women obsessed with me?""What, no! Of course not!" Yumi replies quickly, "Do you really not know me?"Jonas glares at her and returns his gaze to the ceiling, "you talk too much woman.""Definitely didn't lose your touch of craziness." Yumi muttered under her breath."I'm sorry what?""No nothing..."He gave her one of his stares."I was just saying it's so nice to have you back.""What happened to me and who are you?""You were in a fight at a bar and someone hit your head with a bottle.""And the person? Did I give them a wound they'll never forget at least?"Really?? Is that what he really cared about now?; Yumi wondered."Um... I don't know, I only met you in a pool of your own blood.""Why didn't you take me to hospital?""We were there a few days before I brought you home.""Any reaso
*** *** Mr Morbian walks into Alex's hospital ward, proudly, about to boast of his works to him. "What are you doing here?" He asks Devin, surprised to see him, "I thought I told you to leave.""I can't just go!" Devin muttered, "Alex is my boss, we've been together for a long while. I can't just disappear on him.""When you are one of the few that landed him in this situation?""It wasn't on purpose!! I shouldn't have given in to your threats.""You think Alex will forgive and accept you back just like that?""I....""Save it Devin, if you know what is good for you, just go and never come back.""You have to wake him up.""Are you ordering me on what to do with my son?""He has the right to live, you can't just take that away from him.""He's my son." Mr Morbian spat, "I gave him life and I can take it whenever I want.""Mr Morbian.... If you don't wake him up, I'll have no choice but surrender myself to the police.""Whoooo..." Mr Morbian grinned, "I'm having goosebumps, very scar
*** *** 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
