Kathryn became furious with Michael after Rose told her about what the both of them had discussed. "So, all this while, he was only after my money and my body. I must make him pay for this!" Kathryn said to herself. She decided to invite Michael over to her house, so she dialled his number. "Hello, Mike." "Hi, Kathryn," Michael responded with so much liveliness in his voice. "Can we see at my place later this afternoon?" Kathryn asked."That's fine by me," Michael responded as they ended the call. Michael was excited because one of the men he sent to kill his father called him earlier that they had been finally able to kill him.So he was happy about the development. Later that afternoon, Michael was at Kathryn's place. He sat down comfortably on one of the sofas in her sitting room when Kathryn came out to meet him. "Hey, Kathryn. How are you doing today? You look very beautiful as usual," Michael remarked. "Eh, spare me those fake compliments of yours! Your motives for makin
Mr Allison lay in the hospital bed, staring up at the ceiling. His mind was consumed by the events that had brought him to this place. He remembered how he was shot in the side of his chest and his arm. He had never felt so vulnerable and helpless in his life. But he was also grateful to be alive.Throughout his stay at the hospital, Mrs Allison had been a constant presence by his side. She had stayed with him day and night, holding his hand and soothing his fears. She had been his rock, and his pillar of strength, and he knew that he could not have made it through this ordeal without her.As the days passed, Mr Allison's condition slowly improved. His wounds began to heal, and he regained some of his strength. His doctors were amazed by his progress and said that he would soon be ready to leave the hospital.Mrs Allison was overjoyed to hear this news. She had been counting down the days until her husband would be discharged. She knew that he would still need her care and attentio
Michael's phone rang, interrupting his train of thought. He glanced at the caller ID and saw that it was not saved on his phone. He answered the call with a sense of dread."Hello?" he said."Hey! Michael?" a female voice asked."Kathryn? But why are you using a different line to call me?" "Yeah. It's my other line. I don't use it often. I have a piece of news to break," Kathryn said.What's the news?" he asked, trying to keep his voice steady."I'm so excited that your father has been released from the hospital. He's doing well and is back home," Kathryn said.Michael's heart skipped a beat. He had been so sure that his father was dead. He had planned the funeral, mourned his loss, and now he was being told that his father was alive and well."How is that possible?" Michael asked, his voice shaking."It seems that the gunshot wounds weren't as severe as we initially thought. Your father was very lucky."Michael's mind was racing. He didn't know how to feel, but the larger part of hi
Nancy had always harboured a secret crush on Mr Allison. He was a kind and charming man, with a rugged handsomeness that made her heart skip a beat. But alas, he was married to Mrs Allison, a lovely woman who had been nothing but kind to her.One day, Nancy received news that Mrs Allison was travelling out of town for a few days. Her heart raced with excitement as she realized that this was her chance to see Mr Allison alone.She knew that it was wrong to harbour such feelings for a married man, but she couldn't help herself.Without thinking too much about it, Nancy picked up her phone and dialled Mr Allison's number. When he answered, she tried her best to sound confident as she introduced herself as Mrs Allison's friend."Hi Mr Allison, this is Nancy. I'm a friend of Mrs Allison's. I was hoping to speak with you about something important," she said, trying to keep her voice steady.Mr Allison was surprised to hear from a friend of his wife's, but he was also a kind man and was happ
Mr Allison sat on a comfortable couch at the relaxation centre, waiting for Michael. He wasn't sure what to expect, but he knew that he had a lot to say to Michael. He had been bitter against Michael's behaviour all this while, and he had every right to be.As he sat there, he couldn't help but think about all the things that Michael had done to hurt him. The fights, the lies, the disrespect - it had all taken a toll on their relationship. He just couldn't understand why Michael acted those ways.Suddenly, he heard a voice behind him. "Dad?" It was Michael. Mr Allison turned around to see Michael standing there, looking nervous."Michael," he said, trying to keep his tone neutral. "Good to see you."Michael sat down next to him on the couch, still looking nervous. "Dad, I just want to say that I'm sorry," he said, his voice shaking a little. "I know I've done a lot of things that have hurt you, and I'm sorry. I just...I don't know what came over me."Mr Allison was taken aback. He had
The assassin found it difficult to resist the temptation to do something. So he came in front of the both of them to Michael's disbelief.On seeing the assassin in front of them, Micheal spoke aloud: "Who is this man before us?! What's the problem?! I need to call the police!" On hearing this, the assassin walked away from them briskly as they watched him. "You should have waited to hear him. He could have meant no harm. He may be a stranger, but that's not enough reason not to listen to him, " Mr Allison told Michael, as they stood up from their seats to leave the place. Now, both of them had been able to settle their scores.Later that week, Mrs Allison travelled out of town for a few days, and Nancy saw the opportunity to make a move.It started innocently enough. Nancy came over to keep Mr Allison company and they spent the evening drinking wine and catching up on old times. As the night wore on, Nancy became more and more forward, laughing at Mr Allison's jokes a little too loud
Kathryn had always been ambitious. From a young age, she knew she wanted to make a name for herself in the corporate world. And she did just that. So, when she received an invitation to attend a State conference of business moguls, she was thrilled.As Kathryn walked into the conference hall, she couldn't help but feel a sense of pride. She had worked hard to get here, aside from the fact that she came from a rich family, and her hard work was a testament to her success. She mingled with other attendees, exchanging business cards and discussing potential partnerships. But as the day wore on, Kathryn began to feel a bit lonely. She was surrounded by people, but she didn't know anyone.That's when she saw him: Mark - her old college boyfriend. They had lost touch after graduation, and Kathryn had always wondered what had happened to him. She had heard rumours that he had travelled abroad, but she had never been able to confirm it. But there he was, standing across the room, looking ju
Nancy arrived early at the Zealand Park and nervously waited for Paul to arrive. When he finally walked in, she was very happy.Paul walked up to her and took a seat beside her. "I'm sure you were surprised when I called to tell you that there was a way out," Paul said. Nancy nodded her head. "So what's the plan?" Nancy asked impatiently."Well...or maybe I should just ask you how you want me to go about making Mr Allison fall in love with you.""I don't care how you do it. I just want him to fall in love with me," Nancy said, her desperation evident in her voice.Paul leaned back in his chair and looked at her for a moment before speaking. "Okay, here's the deal. I can work something out for you, but it's not going to be cheap. I'll need $150,000 for the job."Nancy's heart sank. She had been hoping that it wouldn't cost that much, but she knew that she had no choice. She had to have Mr Allison, and she was willing to pay any price to get him."Okay," she said, trying to sound confid
