Alex almost couldn't believe his ears."What? What did you just say, miss? I'm sure you must be mistaken, I'm talking about Cassandra Wright. Just give me a moment, and I might be able to pull up a picture from, from a few weeks ago… That- that's my sister in law, and I just saw her leaving so upset- I think you're still mistaken. You can let me know if there are any complications, so that we can take good care of her.You don't understand, my best friend, he's from a very powerful family, and there's no medical complication they can't afford to get resolved. Maybe you're getting confused, let me just ask the doctor herself, you don't understand the gravity of the situation-""Excuse me, sir! You can't step into the doctor's cabin without an appointment, there are other patients sitting inside at the moment."Hearing this, Alex's steps halted; of course, he could not barge into someone's private appointment.At the same time, his mind was spinning with the words the intern had just
The bitterness of betrayal was something that is considered to be the most bitter experience in this world… And Alex was currently experiencing it!He was covering the long drive back home, and he couldn't help but think about the version of him that had been covering this same path in the opposite direction, less than twenty four hours ago. On top of that, he had been all happy, enthusiastic and overly excited after hearing the news of the arrival of a new member of their family, in this world.And compared to where he was now: ready to jump in the river of disappointment without any second thought! He had still not been able to believe it, even after reading the form, and he kept going back to the moment when he had been handed the clipboard by the intern.Thankfully, he had had the presence of mind to remove the form and fold it, to keep it safely in his pocket.He was not only feeling the betrayal on behalf of the role of the future uncle he was going to be, but he was feeling
Mark turned his face in the direction of the new voice.Although in the first place, he was not very confident about them having anything in the vicinity of what he was in search of… But still, he was not ready to leave any option unattended.Thinking this, the first thing he did was to quickly nod his head in affirmation, showing his interest in the proof that they were referring to. And apart from that, he had also come up with the idea that it would be a great chance to make Cassie aware of the fact that her family was not as she thinks of them, they are.Deciding everything within the span of fifteen seconds, he finally opened his mouth and spoke;"Cass! Honey, would you mind if it takes a little longer to stay with me here?""No!"Cassie just managed to let out a single word from her mouth, being caught in the confusion of whether she should believe what she was seeing, or was it all just scripted.Still, having spotted the only possible option to see the light in the dark cold
Moira had barely just managed to slide the cocktail glass back in its original place, when a person showed up in front of her, like a genie who had popped up, seemingly out of nowhere.Anybody else would have taken a while to figure out who this person was, who had suddenly appeared in front of Moira… but not Mark. Only half of this person's left profile was visible in the video, and with the club's dark ambience and flashing lighting that moved through a spectrum of purple, red, green, yellow and blue within seconds, it was difficult to discern his features clearly.But even if that specific one fourth of this man's face had not been visible in the video, this was someone Mark could have recognized just by his shadow.Because it was none other than his brother, Matteo Rover. The slant of his wide shoulders was clearly visible under the tan colored linen blazer, and his walk was just the same as he remembered, so was the familiar gesture of him approaching someone with his head held
"How can I trust you two on this, that this video is not morphed? And how can I be assured there is nothing behind this video that you are still trying to hide from us-"Before"We… We can assure you that this video is not morphed, you have our word for it. We are even ready to testify, it's just that… just that-""It's just that we should not be punished for it."Jerry and Simon pleaded their case while joining their hands together in supplication.Cassie was looking at everyone standing there one by one, and was seeing everything going on in front of her.But she was still not able to believe completely on what her eyes were seeing. In just a matter of one day, her entire world had flipped on its head, and she felt numb… as if her head was being submerged underwater by an invisible hand. Somehow, she was still hoping that any moment now, the alarm bell would go off, and she would wake up from her dream to find out that it was all a dream… and nothing else.But the more she was hopi
"Hello, brother!"The moment he received the call, a sharp, shrill, enthusiastic and sweet voice echoed from the other side of the phone.The voice which had the sole power to make Alex forget all his problems for a minute.And he replied;"Yes, my dearest sister! How come you remember the fact that you still have a brother and he is still alive -"And the person interrupted him from finishing his sentence;"Oh, shut up! You are not going to die anytime soon! The Devil is still busy with his work.""What do you mean?" Alex asked, his eyebrows reaching his hairline! "I mean, he doesn't have any spare time to attend to the most wanted person of hell any time in the near future, so shut your mouth and listen to me carefully.""Okay! Okay, my lady! I am listening to you."Alex surrendered, simply because he was smart enough to realize that he did not stand a chance to win against his sister- he never had! "I have signed two movies and will be returning to Lancaster very soon-""You… are
The room was perfectly lit, and every piece of furniture was giving the vibe of someone hailing from old money, living there.In the opulent realm of the family villa, where time seemed to stand still, a grand hall emerged as the heart of that lavish home.This majestic space seamlessly blended modern sophistication of cutting edge technology with the exotic allure of Middle Eastern design, creating an ambiance that whispered of both tradition and taste. Anyone who would enter that magnificent hall would immediately be struck by the awe inspiring grandeur as well as the thoughtfulness of the design. The walls, adorned with intricate patterns, were bathed in soft, warm tones of gold, crimson, and deep azure, exuding a sense of history and timelessness that befitted an old- money aristocrat.Yet, beneath the classical facade, the hall featured modern architectural elements like sleek, floor-to-ceiling windows that allowed natural light to cascade in, casting a gentle glow upon the roo
Alex found Mark humming to himself in the kitchen, while hoarding the food in his plate.It was true that he must be starving as he had left the house early and now it was already late afternoon.He was able to observe the drastic weight loss he had gone through during this period, and how his handsome face had been left with the structure of a skeleton and an outer lining of flesh.But today… today, there was a light of happiness present on that face after so long.And in that moment, he realized that what he was about to do, required much more than just the determination and dedication of saving his friend.But before he could realize what that thing should be, Mark noticed his presence and spoke;"Alex! Are you really sure that you are alright, or has the happiness of becoming an uncle made you so high that you are already full?If this is the case then let me tell you, there is still too much time left and you have to wait for the little one-""Marcus!"A moment of weakness was al
