"Not just you, Steph. I also had enough fun tonight. I'm definitely going to have the best night's rest in history, all thanks to you. I love you Stephanie." Christian said and cupped her face in both hands, kissing her forehead as he drew her closer.There was a whole new feeling that Stephanie had whenever Christian called her by her full name. It was awkward and a bit unromantic, but she liked it whenever she was addressed by her name, especially by someone who loves and cherishes her.She took a sneak peek at her wristwatch and yelled in exclamation. "This is past two already? I can't believe this!" She swiftly let herself off Christian's grip and headed to the door before turning to face him."I'm sorry but I need to go see the doctor right away. I have an appointment with him and he insists that I must be there today or I'll end up not getting access to my father's corpse anymore.""Oh, if that's the case, then it's fine by me. You have to do the needful." Christian said, waving
CHAPTER 89.“Do you have other important questions to ask me? I'm running out of time. You still haven't said anything reasonable since I got here. Are you always this daft, or you just chose to act dumb today? I left something critical to grace your invitation. I wouldn't be here if I knew this was the reason I was invited over,” Stephanie frowned. She was getting fed up with the doctor's ridiculous questions already. Agreeing to come to see the doctor was the biggest mistake of her life. This was the moment Stephanie wished she had obeyed her instincts and stayed back home.“Why the haste to go home? Aren't you loving it here? Well, I do, and I don't wish for this moment to end.Let me guess. You're rushing to go home and meet Christian, right? Pardon my intrusion, but I'm just curious to know what you're still doing with Christian. The last time I checked, you two were separated. Or is there something you're not telling me? Are you two planning something?” The doctor whispered sile
The afternoon sun was high in the sky, baking the revelers in summer warmth as they clustered. The rays of sunlight were in the middle of the afternoon, but the skies were dark gray as the afternoon dragged on.Stephanie was already fed up with the Doctor's naughtiness. If she had the license to own a gun, she wouldn't hesitate to pull a bullet in his head.The only questions parading her head were. “What would Christian be thinking right now? Just when I thought we were on the verge of coming back together again as a couple, here comes this pathetic Doctor with the spoiler,”Stephanie couldn't move, act, or say a word. She just kept staring at the Doctor in the eyes like a dummy. She was angry, boiling in rage, yet she chose to conceal her emotions to avoid doing nasty stuff she would live to regret for the rest of her life.During those moments she stayed glued to her chair, she thought of the nastiest things to do to him as an act of revenge for wasting her precious time with his
.Finding Stephanie's Father's killers.Emily wasn't a coffee drinker but she's had a couple of sleepless nights knowing Christian killed JJ and she couldn't do anything about it or report Chris to the cops and get Chris arrested for a murder case. Chris and Emily might have shared some intimate moments but she's still scared of him to date. It seemed as though they were just meeting for the first time each she saw him."Christian is a beast! He's not going to spare me a bit. I bet he is going to kill me if I try reporting him to the cops. I can't deny the day that I love him so much, too. But do I plot my lover's arrest? How do I snitch against the man of love?It doesn't even make any sense to me. Gosh! I'm confused right now. I don't even know what to do right now. I just hope I'm making the right decisions eventually," Emily bemoaned in her room as she reminisced about the wonderful moment she shared with Chris. She loved every bit of the moment and wished it could have lasted fo
Complicated Woes.“Thank Goodness he's gone. I finally get to breathe fresh air.” Emily muttered and was relieved her father was gone. Majestically, she walked to open the door and stepped outside when she noticed her father approaching her doorstep with immense pressure.Just when Emily thought her father was gone, he's back with full force. She hurriedly shut the door before he even got the opportunity to force his way through. “You thought I was gone, right?No, dear. I'm not leaving this place until my mission is accomplished.Come open this door before I pull it down, and I am not even joking. You know what I am capable of doing,” he threatened her. Emily was lucky and relieved not to have opened the door. Her father wasn't ready to give up, as he still insisted that Emily explain everything he needed to know. He didn't eavesdrop on her conversation for so long, but he could tell something was wrong somewhere. The money Emily talked about Stephanie's father's death, and he felt
“What should I offer you? Do you care for a glass of Cold juice? It'll help you relax your nerves and rediscover yourself. You look tense and lost. This isn't the Stephanie I know.You've been through a lot lately and it has completely overwhelmed you. What do you think?” The doctor suggested. He was beginning to act all nice to please Stephanie and make her see Christian as the villain.“Why? I still don't get it. Why are you nice to me? I appreciate your act of kindness towards me, but I don't feel comfortable. Coming from someone like you? It's good to be true. What do you intend to achieve with this? Trying to sneak into my life because you accused Chris killed my father? Or are you already suspecting in back with Chris and you want to compete against him for my love?” She chuckled and sighed. The doctor was caught off guard. He thought Stephanie was going to be an easy ride. Sadly, he was disappointed and hated her for being so obstinate and resilient.“You need to safeguard yo
CHAPTER 93So close."Go away, Brandy. I don't need you.You shouldn't be here. I thought we had an agreement that you should stay away until I'm done. I'm afraid you have to stay out a bit because I'm not done yet," Mark yelled at Brandy and prevented him from coming inside. He still denied Brandy's allegations against him."And you expect me to believe your funny story, huh? Do you realize I'm still on duty? Do you know what's going to happen to the both of us If someone finds me standing here? We would be seriously dealt with,""No one's going to do anything.Why are you so scared over nothing? Just be patient while I wrap it up. I'll be done in a couple of minutes," Mark pleaded."No more minutes from you. I don't want to be a party to this anymore. I just want to get back inside and focus on work. I am not even joking. Wait until everyone uncovers your dirty little secret," Brandy threatened Mark to make him scared."You would do no such thing. Are you daft? Telling everyone
The afternoon was half gone, and the trouble was growing.“Jesus Christ!” Chris exclaimed in shock at his office after viewing the clips Mark forwarded to his phone. It was his first calling on Jesus. Chris might have a biblical name, but he can't recall the last time he stepped inside the Church.“I can't believe the Doctor would even think of doing such to me. He's so cruel and cunning. What does he intend to achieve by this scandalous act? I thought he called Stephanie for her regular check-up. If I knew that son of a bitch had the intention of having sex with Stephanie, I would have stopped her from leaving. Argh! I won't let this slide without a fight. I'm going to do something about it to make him learn the hard way.I will ensure he pays dearly with his life. If it wasn't for Mark's update, I would still be in the dark. Once I rescue Stephanie, I will ensure she stops visiting that godforsaken hospital,” Chris soliloquies and paces around trying to rack his head and come up wit
