Samantha stayed throughout the whole process. Declan had suggested that the bullet be retrieved. He would decide on a physiotherapist when he was discharged from the hospital.
Three years was the minimum time the doctor had said that his movement would be restored. Before that, he would be confined to a wheelchair.
The procedure had been so painful for him and at the end of the day, a large amount of pain relief was administered to him. Declan would not let Samantha out of his sight.
She was the only one that he permitted to touch him and she had to be present around the clock to take care of him. He was her boss at work so she was on an automatic leave with a consistent paycheck at the end of each month.
Once Patricia hung up, she continued preparing her son for school. She could not say her life had been lonely and quite boring because she knew it was a good cause.Declan wanted it that way so he would not have to worry about her, and she knew that he was only doing her and her son a favor.When she heard about the havoc that Daniel had caused in the courtroom, she thought that she needed to go see Declan. He had been hospitalized for days but he had given the order that she should not be allowed out of the heavily guarded safehouse.She felt empty inside most times, like the world was going on without her and time passed while she remained stagnant. It was what Daniel had made of her, a miserable single mom. Maybe not so miserable because Declan had been of so much h
Lucas looked at the shreds of paper before him, still, his jaw dropped at why Samantha had torn it. She had disturbed him desperately to sign the papers, but here she was, tearing it into shreds.When he looked up at her, she had tears in her eyes. In other circumstances, he would have been happy that she had done so. It meant that she was not interested in going on with the divorce."You wanted that so badly," he said to her."I think we should focus on making sure that you are fine," she said to him."Sammy, I would be fine but sometimes tells me that you won't," he said to her.She seemed unhappy and looked a bit devastated. It was beyond the divorce papers. Something was wrong, and he fel
Hannah was skeptical about her impending date with Kennedy. He had disturbed her so much for one in the hospital space that she finally agreed.She had gotten so fond of him in the hospital that whenever she came to work, she looked forward to seeing him. Some members of staff were beginning to suspect something brewing between them. Some even regarded them as the love birds in the hospital.But Kennedy was nice to her. He would opt to take her to work and bring her home safely if they were working the same shift. He brought her coffee at intervals in the office and when he got to know that she liked muffins to go with them, he would always buy some from a nearby store.Asides from his gestures toward her, he was also a fantastic surgeon. She did not believe what she h
Patricia's thoughts were constantly focused on what Daniel had said to him. She knew that he was a loser, a philandering husband, and a deadbeat dad, but at the end of the day, in the past, she knew that she lived the life she wanted. He always had money to throw her way. She went on incessant shopping sprees even without knowing the whereabouts of her husband most of the time. When she hung out with her friends, she was always the cynosure of all their eyes. She wore the most expensive outfits and carried about designer bags on her arm. Looking back at her past life, she was living the luxurious life that she had always bargained for. People talked everywhere and had a lot of bad things to say about Daniel and his philandering ways. Some said that she was in the marriage because she could not survive on her own. But she cared less. Daniel had never brought another woman into their home and had never spoken about ending their marriage. But he was vile with his schemes and his consi
Samantha was soon done with her phone call on the balcony, and she turned around to re-enter Declan's private suite.Anthony had been trying to get a hold of her. Even though she had ignored him for a whole month, she decided that there would be no harm in hearing him out.She was quiet most of the time during the call as she let him speak. Anthony had been abused by his father as a little boy, and that had increased his sexual appetite for men even though he was attracted to women. He only slept with men if he wanted to get something out of his mind. However, he had intentions of falling in love with a girl and getting married to her in the long run. He sounded so pathetic that, as much as she wanted to doubt him, she had no option but to believe him. He had been a good man to her, and this was probably the only dishonest thing that he had done to her. They had finally agreed to become good friends and move on with their respective lives. He concluded by saying that he knew that
Hannah was not too focused on the meeting that was going on in the boardroom as she and Kennedy kept stealing glances at each other. Since she saw that message on his phone, she developed some form of attitude towards him. She liked him as a person, but she had been through so much for her to trust one more person, especially at the sight of a cause for suspicion. He had been that way even in Australia. Unpredictable. You could not fathom what he was up to easily, but you could know he was up to something. That was the same feeling that crawled up in her belly since she saw him at the hospital and was introduced as the MD's son. Dr. Pat's warning only fueled her suspicions. "Miss Hannah?" She heard her name called out. When she looked around, everyone's eyes were on her. She had been lost in her thoughts and had not been fully focused on the meeting and here she was, trying to fathom what was being asked of her. "I'm sorry, but I did not get you," she said, trying not to s
Abigail was still making lunch when she heard the doorbell ring. Frank told her that he was coming over and she thought of a good gesture to present to him.Then she remembered that he liked her cooking. She resolved to cook him a nice meal as she waited for his arrival.She had been feeling guilty about how she had been treating him. Because Declan was not in support of the relationship, she had distanced herself so much from him, and it made him feel so bad.But after Declan had reassured her and told her that all was fine, she was suddenly focused on working on their relationship.She did not press the control key to let him into the house on his own. Instead, she went to the door herself to let him in. She felt
Samson seemed like a breath of fresh air to Hannah. Kennedy had been all up in her space, but when she had managed to tell him off, he had refrained from going after her anymore or coming to her house.She was not happy that he had something up his sleeves, something that he would not let her know about.All she wanted was to be sure that he was not out to harm her, but he was not saying anything either.Samson had called her the previous day and said that he would be coming to the island for some business with Declan. He asked if they could meet up and talk. She invited him to her house.She was going to use the opportunity of her day off work to rest, but she wanted to see him too.
