Chapter 183For the next few minutes, Julia couldn't raise her face. Without being told, she knew a lot of eyes were staring at them and because of this, she couldn't raise her head and look back at them. “If only Raymond had relieved her of her job when we asked him to, this wouldn't have happened.” She muttered, biting her lips in anger. “Hello sissy, I told you I'm going to get you out of the way so I can have Raymond to myself. You thought I was kidding? Damn! I wonder why a lot of people take me as a joke when I'm damn serious, Dina cringed, throwing her hands in the air. Niko wanted to stop her but Adam came out of nowhere and then blocked his path.“What do you think you are going to do?” Niko yelled, trying to bypass him but couldn't.“Let's watch her.” He replied, pushing him backwards. “Watch her as she attempts to kill Julia? Are you even thinking?” He yelled, still trying to move but couldn't. “Get your hands off me.” He yelled, pushing him but he wouldn't budge. Whi
Meanwhile, Julia was holding her head in pain, she screamed in sheer horror as she saw the blood streaming down her face, staining her clothes in the process. The noise coming from all corners made her so uncomfortable coupled with the pains she was facing. "What has Dina done to me, my head." She was still screaming when she felt Raymond's body against hers. Lifting her up, he held her tight and then placed her down on the floor."Listen to me Jul, nothing is going to happen to you, okay, I can't believe Dina would go this far.” He said, checking her pulse. Tearing his shirt, he began to press it against her wound. It didn't take long before the cloth became crimson red. "It hurts Raymond, it hurts." Julia screamed as tears continued streaming down her eyes as she lay helpless in Raymond's arms. He has never been in this kind of situation before and so, he was so confused."Please Julia wake up, you can't die on me please." Raymond whispered in her ears as tears brimmed in his ey
"Where's Raymond? I can't believe he couldn't do anything to help Julia rather he sat back watching that lunatic lynch her.” Mrs. Brooks said, storming towards the ward she had been directed to. The moment Raymond heard Mrs. Brooks' voice, he froze against the chair he was occupying. His hands immediately became sweaty as he braced himself up to face her. Niko and Adam looked at him in pity. They knew the history between Raymond and Julia's parents even if it seems they had rectified their differences and they didn't want to interfere.Immediately Julia's parents entered the room, Raymond stood up from his seat while they looked at him with disdain before they bypassed him and went straight to Julia who was still unconscious but was now stable. "Can you see what you've done, you see. I warned Julia not to get involved with a despicable person like you but she was swoon by your charms to listen to me. Now look where that love has gotten her." Mrs. Brooks yelled, venom dripping from
“Are you sure you are okay?” Raymond asked, leaning against the bed frame. As for her family, they were in the waiting room. Niko and Adam and finally succeeded in pushing them out to prevent further drama. “Sure, I'm.” Came her response, accompanying it with a smile but Raymond wasn't placated by it and didn't bother to hide it. “Are you thinking about Dina?” She asked and immediately, Raymond snapped his head in her direction.“Dina doesn't matter here, your health and wellbeing comes first.” He said, propping her up, he said, “Let's get you to Doctor Anderson so he can check you thoroughly.” He said, pushing her hair behind her ears. “Don't you trust…” “I don't.” he snapped even before she could complete her words. “Fine, let's go see him.” She said with a shrug. After making a few calls, Julia was moved to Doctor Anderson hospital. Though he wouldn't be the one to perform the checkup, he referred another doctor who shared the same name with him. Before they could get to th
Raymond has just left the correctional center and all he could think of was his father's face. The look on his father's face kept replaying through Raymond's mind. He would rather have his company crumble than let his son manage it? What kind of man was that? — he scowled, replaying his words in his head. On leaving the prison, he called Adam and Niko to meet him at their favorite bar. He needed a drink to wipe the images flooding his head. The image of his father trying to kill him. The image of him swearing to do it again, everything was making him.go crazy. Several minutes later, Adam and Niko met him at the bar and they began taking shots."It's not enough that my wife almost died, I had to go be reminded of the shitty ass dad I have." Raymond yelled downing another shot in one gulp. "You shouldn't have met him." Adam said to him rubbing his shoulder. "I don't know why you bother with him when you should be looking for ways to cut ties with him for good." To that Raymond grun
Chapter 188Niko had been going on and on about his dream wedding, it was not as if he was in a serious relationship or had anyone he had a crush on.Adam and Raymond were trying to stifle their laughter because they found his gestures funny but listened to him regardless with rapt attention."No, my dream wedding would be in Paris, the city of love, no, no, Dubai. Women love traveling to Dubai and I know my woman would want the same too.” "What woman, last I checked, you're single.” Raymond said. "Is that what you think?" Niko asked with a smirk. Adam and Raymond exchanged glances with their mouths wide open. Adam was the first to speak because he was surprised since he was closer to Niko."Are you seeing any woman now?" Adam asked, surprise evident in his tone and Niko chuckled for a bit before he sat down, he had been standing ever since he began his description."I would only tell you when I'm done with my description of my perfect dream wedding. So as I was saying before I was
Winston Family,Today was the sixtieth birthday ceremony of the head of the family and the family had done all they could to have important dignitaries invited to the family.Raymond Winston, on the other hand, who had just arrived at the front of the magnificent building, looked nothing like someone that was here to attend a birthday party.Dressed in a casual shirt and pants, which made his originally dashing appearance toned down, he looked nothing like all the other guests that had entered previously.It would be hard to accept if someone pointed out that he was the actual first son of the Winston family"Who are you?" One of the guards asked him as his eyes flashed with disdain."I'm here for my father's birthday party." He replied coldly. His facial expression had no changes and was full of disregard for the guards."Pffftt." One of the guards barked in laughter, unable to resist anymore, while the other two guards looked at each other and scoffed as they gave Raymond a look fro
Chaos filled the hall as most of the servants rushed and helped him."Get the doctors from Hades Hospital," John yelled out.Although he was dissatisfied with his incompetent son, John couldn't leave him in the lurch in front of everyone and announced that he was getting the doctors from the best hospital in their city."Has he been overworked?" One of the young sons of the other families asked, wondering why a man that looked that healthy and solid would suddenly fall just like that.Just as the chaos was about to reach its peak, the first daughter of the Brooks family, Stella, entered the hall. Almost as if an Angel had passed, everyone became quiet, partly due to the power they knew she commanded and her looks.It was rumoured that Brooks's family genes were good and today, the guests here were allowed to see just how good it was. Stella was like some goddess that had stepped to earth.Clad in a pure white floor-length gown that had her curves on full display with her hair let down
