"Quickly someone should save the young lady!""Call 911!""Damn it, what are you doing? Can't you see the fuel on the ground?""Oh Lord, the car is about to catch fire. Quickly save the woman!"…'Is this the end of me? What's going on? How did I end up in this situation?' Alice tried opening her eyes to see where she was but it felt as though her body had shut down. She couldn't move and couldn't speak.The strong stench of fuel filled her nostrils and a strong metallic taste assaulted her mouth.Help!She screamed frantically until she finally lost consciousness.The familiar sound of an electronic peeping slowly woke her up and the sound of hurried footsteps sounded In her ears. She tried to open her eyes but couldn't and had no other choice than to listen to the words said around her."Quickly give me the scissors," A deep voice said anxiously."Here sir!""Sir, her pulse is weak. I don't think we can give her this surgery," A woman replied with fear in her voice."Damn it! We hav
Christian dashed into the hospital, walking up to the receptionist. He asked the receptionist Alice’s Ward number and was directed to the second floor.The hospital was vibrant as the air reeked of ethanol mixed with perfumes and Cologne.Christian took the elevator to the second floor, scanning every room for Alice’s ward number as soon as he got off.The nurse told him it was Ward 223 so, when he saw a door with the Ward number attached to it, he instantly reached for the handle and scurried into the room.Two doctors and three nurses were standing before a lifeless body covered in blood and a doctor was performing CPR on her.It was Alice, her face was pale as if all the blood had being drained out of her.Christian walked towards Alice, accessing her properly and turning to face the doctors.“Whats the situation?”He asked, his forehead forming creases.“Honestly, we don’t know, sir. She is loosing too much blood and we are unable to operate on her due to her open chest. We have t
“You should not be there saying things that aren't true. Who knows? The people you think who are not part are even the leaders,” Alice uttered.Christian stared at her without saying a word. He walked around aimlessly.“I don't care, you should know that,” he replied and walked out.“Damn, he left,” Alice regretted.After a moment of realization, Alice ran out quickly in an attempt to still have a conversation with Christian.She took wide strides of steps and ran at some point.“Christian! Christian!,” She called out while breathing heavily from the short sprint.Christian was about moving into his car.“What?” He sounded pissed.“You should not leave just like that. I know that things are not going just great, but we could have a random important conversation,” she pleaded.“No, Alice. I don't need to rub my body with such things at the moment. I'm not even in the mood to have to argue about certain things I'm not even ready for. I need to go,” he added and jumped into his car.Alic
Chapter 38The wild feeling of lacking the idea about what was jumping on,made Christian want to lose it by the minute.So far, he wasn't able to make good findings about what Stephanie was into. The day had just begun. Christian took a quick shower. He thrusted in some random clothes and moved out of the house quickly.Christian was on his way to the office. He needed to go through some documents.On his way into his office, he stormed into Stephanie.“Hey, I really need to speak with you, “ he said honestly.It's been a while since he set his eyes on his ex wife.Stephanie looked gorgeous and all good. Her hair was styled into a pony, and her makeup was quite simple.She gave him a quick stare.It was a disgusting look.“Why are you trying to mess up my day now?” She uttered coldly.“I don't mean to disturb you, I don't even want to. It's just that I know things didn't really sit well…” Christian was interrupted.“Sit well? It will not be well. I don't want to have this emotional c
Christian was really excited about the fact that the meeting was going to happen very soon.He decided to meet up with Raymond to have a good conversation.He was home that day and chilled in his home with a cup of coffee.Each sip from the coffee cup reminded him of the fact that Alice had something very important that could help him, but she didn't give any information.It took so much from Christian to stay quiet. It was a tactic to achieve his plan, especially after finding out the truth.Raymond finally made it.“Welcome man,” Christian uttered, welcoming him.“Try to make yourself comfortable,” he added.The only thing that went through his mind at that moment was how he was about to start telling him about not wanting to give me a job. It was something he planned on doing along the line after he realized that he had another game plan.“I know that I should not be bringing in such discussions here and I know that you were busy today. I'm really sorry for making your day really
The D-day came.After Christian found his way to attend the event, he started feeling paranoid about the entire situation.The mega companies present had a thing among them. Christian had a sudden low self esteem to find himself there.After he was warned by Emily, he had his fear taking a greater part of him.He stood by the window pane of his bedroom. He had a good view of the fields behind the mansion.His hands were buried inside the pockets of his pajamas. The only thing that came across his mind was how he was going to gather all the courage he had so he could find himself there.One chance, but a lot of risks. He knew that when he made a decision, it took the hardest reasons to fall out of it.Apart from Emily's conversation, he was aware that Stephanie's father was going to be there. He never wanted to find himself around his in-laws anymore.After pacing around the entire room, he made his choice. He was certain that was a good start to finding the solutions to his problem.H
Christian was not sure about what was going on, but as soon as he wanted to meet Alice's Father, Alice showed up.“Hey, you look like you were going somewhere,” she interrupted.“Ehmm,”Christian murmured as he wasn't sure about what to say.“It's fine. I wanted to discuss some things with you, do you mind?” she asked softly.It made it easier for Christian to agree with her.“Alright then, we can,”he allowed. They moved towards an empty space in the corner of the hall.Emily was worried sick about where Christian could be.“Where could he have gone to? I've been searctand I can't even get a glimpse of him,” she murmured to herself.After being tired, and she thought about resting, she realized it was about his own life.“No,” she uttered and continued.Alice knew about Harry's movement towards Christian. Christian pondered shortly about what Alice could want to talk about. “I sent the file to you earlier. What's the matter? Was there a mistake?” He asked nicely.Alice nodded.“No, no
Emily and Stephanie continued moving around each other as their plans failed. Christian was nowhere to be found.“Could you find him?” Emily uttered, panting.“No,no. I tried my best, but I couldn't even get a hint of where he could have gone,” she added.“I think we should actually try calling his number again,” Stephanie suggested.“I did that while walking around. I know that he won't pick up his phone, so while walking around, I continued calling hoping I'll hear the phone ring,” she explained.“I don't think something is wrong. Maybe he is somewhere,” Stephanie added, dusting herself.Emily took her reply seriously and she started suspecting her.“It's fine if you're tired. I can do the remaining myself. If I can't find him, I would let the security know, or meet him later,” she added, trying to let Stephanie go.“That's fine. You should be careful too,” Stephanie replied and left.Stephanie was fed up fighting for the same person who could not fight for him. On the other hand, t
