Hannah was exhausted as she finished up work for the day. It was Friday night, and there are usually a lot of code reds on Fridays.It usually springs from the over-excitement of the weekend.Road accidents would spring up from young people returning from school for the weekend or from a drinking spree with friends or a nightclub.She looked at her wristwatch, and her eyes widened as she saw that it was 11 p.m. already. She quickly gathered her things and headed out.As she got to the reception, she saw Kennedy. He indulged in a conversation with a young girl who looked like she was a patient's relative.She saw the young girl touch his bi
When Frank said that he was coming to see his kids, Abigail did not expect that he would come with his 'tag-along', as she usually referred to his girlfriend, who she still thought was so young, enough to be his daughter.She opened the door for him from her room as she put herself together to go downstairs.She was down in time before the children could come out of their rooms to see him.But they were faster than she was. They rushed to hug their father, and as usual, he had a gift for them.They cheered happily, and it was not about the gift, but the way he was constantly present for them."Dad, who is this lady?" Adelle ask
Hannah reminisced on the events of two nights ago as she drove home from work. She had run the double shift today again, even if it was not in her place to do so. There was something about being in the position of leadership that she probably did not have insight into formerly. But everyone wanted her help, and in the process of offering that help, it collided with her agreed time of dismissal.Her kids had complained about it on a few occasions, but she would always come up with a great excuse for them. She would leave them in Declan's house after his driver got them from school every day. Most times, she did not bother to get them at the close of work, especially on weekends. But Liz was a capable hand, filling up the gaps for her and fitting the shoes of motherly care to her children perfectly. It made Hannah have fewer things to worry about. She had only made it to the route that led to Declan's estate before a vehicle nudged her from behind, causing her heart to race at fir
Kennedy looked in Hannah's direction and looked away immediately. He just wanted to make sure that she was fine for the last time.Declan decided that they would have some glasses of beer as they spoke. He ordered some men to take Hannah safely to the mansion.As they walked away, Hannah came to meet them with a blanket wrapped around her."Thank you so much for tonight," she said to Kennedy. He only grunted his reply without looking directly at her.He soon got into a bar with Declan and took seats. They ordered a few bottles of beer before Kennedy began to narrate the events that had led to the present day.Declan was shocked at first to
Once Declan stopped before his house, Kennedy ran inside to see Hannah. When he got in, he was at a loss for where to go. The house was magnificent.Samantha was just coming out of the elevator at that time."Kennedy!" She exclaimed. "What are you doing here?" She asked.Just then, Declan followed in after her."Babe, what's wrong?" She asked him as the men were panting breathlessly as they had been in a hurry.Declan knew that Samantha had no idea of what was going on. He did not have the time to say anything to her, and it had been that way for weeks. They were working so hard at work that they barely had time to be together.
A noisy clatter crossed Samantha's ears as Declan dropped his cutlery. When she finally summoned the courage to look up at his face, there was a disappointed scowl on it.She reached out to touch his hand on the table comfortingly, but he retreated and leaned back."I'm sorry," she mouthed. Declan looked at the waiters that were standing nearby and asked them to leave with his eyes.He wanted Samantha to be confident of her claims if at all she had one.He had not disturbed her for a child, nor had he directly or indirectly implied his need for one, not even once.He had always reassured her that she was content and enough, but she probabl
Kennedy finished his bath and was barely dressed properly before he heard his doorbell ring.He picked up his wristwatch on his dresser and looked at the time. It was 9 p.m. already.He wondered who it was. Not many people on the island knew where he lived, and he liked his privacy.It was probably security wanting to see him for something or his father. But except for when his father had an emergency, he would only call his phone. It made him feel like it was urgent.It could also be an attack from an enemy. He had just carried out a mission, and it was only normal to get a few enemies because of it.He opened up his drawer, and too
Hannah struggled to gather her breath as she suddenly sat up on the bed.She had no idea how to react to the news that Kennedy had just broken to her.She thought they were in a good place now, that what just transpired was a sign that they would solidify their relationship.She then remembered what the nurse had said in the hospital, about him wanting a transfer.Once again, she felt used and hopeless. It had been the normal routine with the men in her life.Just when she was beginning to develop a strong affection for them, they would run off, leaving her alone and lonely.Latest Chapter
