Vincent spent the entire afternoon worrying, he didn’t realise that it was getting late by the minute. As these thoughts ran through his mind while he paced the halls, the tiny voice of a female nurse alerted him.“Mr. Vincenzo”Vincent immediately turned to face a small light skin lady with a small brown envelope in her hands.“How is she?” Vincent said, referring to an unconscious Jessica he brought in a while ago.“She’s absolutely fine,” The nurse replied, handing him the envelope in her hands “The test results”“Thank you” Vincent said as he eagerly collected the envelope, almost snatching it away from her hands.“Is she awake now?”“Yes Sir, you can come in to check up on her”Vincent speechlessly nodded his head in agreement as she walked back into the room.He nervously looked down, staring at the brown envelope he held in his hands.The information it contained could either f
“How did he overhear the conversation she had with her best friend Evie?”Jessica felt the world beneath her sink as she sat up in the hospital bed in a frozen state.A whirl of emotions ran through her, all at the same time.Anger, surprise, confusion and even fear.Both of her hands were cold but she was sweating profusely in the properly air-conditioned hospital room.For the first time, she was utterly speechless and she wasn’t able to defend herself. Her plan was about to backfire fiercely and blow up in her face.It was already retreating towards her like a bomb tied to a boomerang.She maintained eye contact with Vincent as the air in the room seemed to cease while the tension seemed to increase.“You know, I feel really terrible for you” Vincent finally spoke, breaking the deafening silence that enveloped the room for a while as he slowly walked towards her.“Now that the person respon
There was absolutely nothing she could do at this point.She couldn’t lie about it anymore.She couldn’t argue either.There was proof now.More than enough proof.Jessica stared at the paper while glistening tears welled up in her eyes as she read the contents of the NIPP test result.There was no hiding place for her now.All of this was her Dad’s fault.If only he didn’t invite her to his party, she would have never come home.She would have never met Vincent.Most of all, she would have never wanted him to herself and all of this would’ve never happened.Jessica had a habit of blaming her grave mistakes on other people so she didn’t have to deal with her guilt alone.She stayed put in her frozen position on the hospital bed.With a void and expressionless look on her face, tears began to roll down her cheeks.Tears of pain, anger, confusion and embarrassm
“Vincent woke up to the disturbing sound of his loudly beeping alarm clock before he went on with a drama free day”This routine repeated itself for a few days.He sluggishly battled to open his eyes before reaching for the clock. When he checked the clock, he was surprised at what the time was.“I slept till 9am?”Oh well ... .It was another day to wake up with a smile.He stretched his legs, spreading them across the bed while he rubbed his eyes that had been shut for a very long time.He felt better than he did when he woke up the previous morning.Vincent finally sat up on the bed, staring into oblivion.While thinking of how to do something productive that day, his phone suddenly beeped.“Must be one of those notifications again” He thought to himself as he searched for the phone in his sheets.“There” Vincent picked up his phone and began to go through a series of notifications from numerous a
“Are you okay?” Vincent asked Mr. Issac, feeling concerned just by seeing the look on his face.Again, Mr. Isaac heaved an even deeper sigh and shook his head which was hung low.“I should have given custody to her mother….All those years ago”The moment he heard this, Vincent immediately knew that the old man was referring to his daughter, Jessica.It turned out that when Mr.Isaac returned from his trip, he got to know about Elizabeth’s pregnancy.She was living under his very roof so there was no way that she could possibly hide it from him.He asked her several questions regarding it but she bluntly refused to answer them.That compelled him to harness his powers as leader of the underworld, using his position to his advantage.It was then he found out the backstory concerning everything that resorted to Jessica’s current state.He was extremely disappointed in her.He regretted taking up th
Vincent opened the door to see Ms. Marie with a tray in her hands.In it was a plate of roasted salmon and vegetables with a glass of orange juice and a bottle of water.“Thank you” Before she could utter a word, Vincent took the tray from her with a smile.It was almost as if she had read his mind.Vincent ate his dinner and went to bed.The next day, he went on with his normal life hoping for positive results in his endeavour.Elizabeth came over to visit Samuel and Vincent ignored that, trying as much as possible to avoid coming in contact with her.Although Elizabeth washorrid in nature, Vincent didn’t mind her visiting.He could clearly observe that Samuel was slowly getting attached to Elizabeth and he didn’t want to ruin anything for him.Vincent knew exactly how that felt, he himself had once been in that position and he’s still facing the consequences of someone else's actions.It plea
“Yes Miss” The attendant replied with a slight bow.“Well I’m sorry to inform you but there must’ve been a mistake because I didn’t order anything”“No Miss, I’m certain”“Look over here, this has your name written on it if I’m not mistaken” The attendant said, showing her a small tag by the side with “To Jane Miller written on it”“Yes…That is my name but who sent the package”“Pardon me Miss but my job is to deliver packages to the residents of this hotel”“No further information is usually disclosed to the hotel management except the arrival of packages”“Ohh” Jane slowly nodded in understanding as she gestured to him to bring the bouquet into her room.The short young man picked up the giant sized bouquets of flowers that were almost as tall as him and placed them in the position she had ordered after which he immediately left.Jane shut the door and made sure to lock it the moment the att
With a mind full of doubts and uncertainty, Vincent slowly retreated back to the desk and picked up his phone.He squinted both his eyes as he curiously scrolled through the notification bar hoping to see what he was expecting.The rules of nature seemed to be working to his advantage this time as Vincent’s face lit with joy while he unconsciously smiled very widely to himself.She actually did send him a text!Jane sent him a text!He was right afterall.Vincent opened the text from the notification bar and was caught by a confusing surprise in his direct message.“?"She sent him a question mark?? Well ... .on the bright side, she at least took the liberty of unblocking him.It was quite obvious that Jane wanted Vincent to text first. So he didn't hesitate to do so. Vincent decided to reply to her question mark with an actual question. “How do you find them?"
