Family ties."How do you feel now?" Chris asked Stephanie while she lay on her sick bed. She had her bandages wrapped around her head to enable a speedy recovery. It's not even 48 hours yet and Stephanie has lost much weight due to the excess bleeding from her head."I feel some type of way right now. I just can't explain. I can't wait to stand on my feet again." Stephanie responded in a faint voice as she held Chris's hands so passionately and stared directly into his eyes, "Thank You!""For? I can't recall doing anything," Chris responded to pretend he didn't know what she was talking about."Come on, Chris. Don't act like you don't know. Of course, you know what I meant. Thank you for everything. I wasn't expecting you to come through for me in my distress and trust me, I don't take your kindness for granted. I want you to know that I appreciate everything you do for me and more," Stephanie buttressed and displayed her heartfelt gratitude. She forgot to address the horrible texts s

CHAPTER 113Wedding bells "Hi, everyone. What's going on here?Did I interrupt anything? I can see y'all are having a good time, right?" Doctor Mario dashed inside Stephanie's ward with a document in his possession. Stephanie's conversation with her Mom was fruitful as they made peace and vowed to improve each other. Personally, Mrs. Rolando instructed everyone to join them inside the ward while she used the opportunity to apologize to Chris for treating him like a piece of trash while he was married to her daughter, Stephanie. The whole family is set to put the past behind them and embrace a new beginning that would be beneficial to everyone. Stephanie's near-death experience made them realize that there's more to life rather than beefing each other. "Not at all. Doctor Mario." Stephanie smiled. "I'm glad you're here with us.You came at the right time. We were just discussing my discharge date before you showed up. What's the update, doctor?" "Somewhat Positive if I must

The heart monitor by the bedside table beeped, increasing the sense of foreboding within Christian, each beep sounded like his grandmother's life was fading away. "Christian," the old woman croaked weakly, her tone airy, her throat dry. Christian leaned closer to her, her frail hands in his tight grip and listened as she whispered, "You promised to let me see her, Christian, you promised I would see your beloved wife before I leave this earth." She said faintly, with a smile that brightened her pale and wrinkled face for a split second. "You will." He replied, his voice a deep baritone that hid his emotions, hid the sadness and dread within him to lose the only family he had, the only human who truly loved him. "You made a promise Christian, I raised you to be a man of your words." She reminded him, her feeble eyes staring pointedly at his handsome chiseled face. Christian nodded, "I'll bring her to you now, rest, I'll have the doctors check on you." He said and rose fro

Maybe it was the cold air blasting from the air conditioner in the car or the coldness from his very soul. Christian wasn't sure but he certainly felt frozen inside. The car rumbled to a halt in front of his gate and he sat for a few more minutes, looking over the news site. Stephanie Matt's, she was unmarried according to the news. The press had never been informed of her marriage, she had never officially announced it. Christian clenched his fists and his jaw ticked in contained fury as he got out of the car and opened his front door. Stephanie was on the couch, a perfect picture of poise, grace and beauty. Her blonde hair was pulled into a perfect ponytail and her velvety red dress complemented her soft blue eyes perfectly. Her face was a cold and nasty mask as she sneered at him, "Where have you been?" Christian strolled closer to her, his face unreadable, serene, too calm and unperturbed as she stared at him, goading him into action. He felt a certain sense of resig

Stephanie panicked as she saw the angry face of her parents. Her father was reddening with anger and her mother looked ready to kill. She regretted having to confront Christian after his loss and she wished she didn't have to do it but her parents were there and they had no intentions of going easy on him. "Where have you been, boy! For three days?" Mr. Rolando asked, his face mad. Then he realized Christian was neither intimidated nor affected by his query, instead he was wearing a piercing look that scared them both. "Who do you think you are, Christian? Neglecting our daughter and going off to nowhere for three whole days, you disgust me! " Stephanie's mother snapped and then moved into the room, going to stand beside her daughter, one hand on her shoulder and her glare directed at Christian. "What's this fiasco?" Christian asked, his voice as icy as when they'd first arrived, clearly unruffled by their outburst. This only scared the Rolando's who went ahead to bark at C

The click of the door, despite being a small sound, seemed to resound in Stephanie's head. She had agreed to divorce Christian but she felt she'd hurt him too much, seeing as he was still mourning grandma's loss. She also felt guilty for not being there with her, for her when she was in her last minutes. She felt drained and guilty and she wanted to be alone. Stephanie fell on the couch with an exhausted sigh as her parents laughed and mocked at Christian, confirming his signature and being thankful that he'd left without any fight. "You know, I thought he'd want to be smart, good thing I was here to handle him." Her father said with a proud smile and then looked at Demon who was still hovering around Stephanie, hoping to talk to her. "And look, I invited Demon over, I thought he could cheer you up and you know...get to know you, I know Christian was never capable of being the right one for you, you deserve better. " Mr Rolando said and smiled at Demon who gave her a wink

Christian hoped it was a bad joke, but she didn't seem eager to laugh it out anytime soon, she even looked a little nervous, biting her bottom lip and her gaze a little uncertain. Bafflement was clearly on Christian's face as Alice struggled to explain what she meant. "It's...not a real boyfriend Christian, I mean, I need your help." She said quickly, hoping to calm Christian who looked too shocked to function. "Look, I don't mean a real boyfriend, it's gonna be a faux, I just couldn't think of someone else that would be better for this than you, and I thought I could finally take that debt you said you owed me," she stated with a shrug and Christian nodded. "My father thinks I just attend his fundraiser night, I don't know why he lets them drag him to these fancy fake things but...he insisted I must come too. There's a man I'm trying to avoid and...I want you to come with me, just to make me have a plus one, maybe he'll back off once he sees I'm not alone." She explained calml
