"Why won't the world just let Lucious Mendez and Sydney be? Pamela Hill, a nurse in the Panacea psychiatrist hospital says, dropping the daily news paper on the table, so that Lauren fonder could see it.
"You and this Lucious guy again? I think you are actually the one that would not let them be, you speak about him all the time". She smiles, pulling the seat to sit opposite her. "But it's hard to stop talking about him, when he is super cute". She confessed, then she added. Even at that, they should still let him be, I don't know why they think something is going to go wrong between them? "The world still look at Lucious, the multi billionaire as a womanizer, they don't want to accept that he has changed". Lauren says, going over a few more files, setting them in their rightful place. "I too, sometimes feel it is hard for a known womanizer like Lucious Mendez to just repent, I feel something is wrong". She places a finger on her lip as if thinking of what she feels is actually wrong. "Pamela, Lucious is not my problem right now, I am applying this year again, I need to gather enough money, so that I can go to psychiatrist school at Houston and also, get my mother to have that surgery done, she is slowly dying and it hurts me that I can't do anything about it". She spoke in a sober tone, almost breaking down, and that was when Pamela remembered that her friend and colleague have a lot going on with her at the moment. "I am sorry dear. Are you sure applying for the program when you don't have the money is the right thing to do? Why not try and save up the rest of the money, then deposit it for your mum's surgery, you still have enough time to go to school, you are still young". "I just don't know what to do, each time I remember all I have to go through, I feel sad". "And that is why I brought this Lucious Mendez discussion, so that you could ease off". "Pamela, you are really funny. How will discussing about a billionaire help me ease off? "Haven't you heard that if you must make money in this life, you need to read about wealthy people, and discuss about them, that way, you can start thinking about all the things they did to make money? "Pamela, continue reading about them, when you make the money, let me know, so that you can support my life". She says, shaking her head, trying to go back to what she was doing earlier, when Pamela spoke again. "This Sydney of a girl looks like you, in a different way, don't you think? "I have heard that before, but I don't see the resemblance". She says, taking a look at the picture of the couple again. That was actually the first time she was looking intently at the both of them. She could see clearly why Pamela is taken by his looks, the man beside the woman looks very handsome, with his broad chest, blue eyes and long golden hair. She is about to speak when they heard the chaos in the other section of the hospital. A little child have been brought in. They see that all the time. The Panacea Hospital is very big that all the section of emergency could be found there. They look out the window and found the pediatricians in the other section, going from one place to the other, so as to attend to the emergency that have just been brought in, just then, the school in Houston sent a reply to Lauren's application. They have rejected her again, since she doesn't have the full payment, she felt sad again, and tiredly went back to her seat. """""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""''"'''''"""""'''''''''''' Lucious couldn't keep his mind straight anymore, he was so happy, he kept looking at Sydney from the corner of his eyes, he allowed his imagination grow wild, that he could see his child in front of him. "Its a girl". He says, and she smiles, for she knows that he wouldn't stop thinking about what she just told him. "I don't think so, I think I am carrying a boy". "Definitely a girl, she is going to look as beautiful as you, maybe a little more beautiful, because she is going to have the color of my hair". He says teasingly, while Sydney slapped his shoulder. "Are you saying my Brunette isn't cute? "Well... I mean....". She slapped him again, this time he gasped in pain, while she laughed it off. That is usually how they tease each other on daily basis, but on this day, Lucious is elated that he just couldn't hold himself, he just wants to get to the beach and hold her, if they haven't already planned their trip to the beach, he would have taken her somewhere else. "Why are you not saying anything? She asked him, touching his ears. "I don't want to speak to you, since you slapped me so hard, I will only speak to you, after you pacify me". She knows he is just kidding, but she also wants to play along, so she asked. "How do you want me to pacify you? She asked. "You know what I like, so do all you can to pacify me". He says, and she kissed his cheek, but he still didn't smile, then she ran her hands from his neck down to his torso, but he still didn't look any different, until her hands got to his waist line and stopped around the front zip, she stared at him and he still looked like he didn't care. She unzipped him and started to fondle with his third leg, this time, he let out a groan, which showed her that, she just got him, but he still feigned seriousness until she placed her mouth on his already erected part. He forgot he was still driving, they both got carried away, while she sucks on him, he closed his eyes to savour all that he was feeling, but by the time he opened his eyes, he couldn't avoid the big log on the road, he opened his eyes wide in fear, he tried to press hard on the brakes, but it didn't respond. Sydney looked up in fear, everything happened so fast, as the car tumbledown to the valley, no one could hear their scream of fear, until the car finally came to a stop. They didn't get to beach, and though their eyes were closed in an unconscious state, they could both hear the siren of the ambulance.Lauren heard the sound of the siren bringing in a wounded person, but she didn't get up, since the emergency ward is not her section. She was still angry about the rejection of her Houston application. She have decided to deposit all her savings to the hospital for her mother's surgery, when suddenly the door to her office flung open again, and Pamela walked in.This time, she looks like she have been chased by all the animals in the zoo, and though the hospital is very airy, she was sweating." Holy Mother of God! Lauren, you won't believe it". She exclaims, trying to catch her breath."Calm down, it can't be all that bad? Lauren says, not knowing why her friend is looking like the worst has just happened to her."Lucious Mendez and Sydney". She couldn't continue, she stopped half way, holding her heart, as though it had been ripped off.They are the ones that have been brought in, they were involved in an accident, I am scared they are not going to make it". She cries."Hey! Calm d
The news about the death of Sydney had already spread like wild fire. How it went out within minutes, was surprising.Lucious's parents sat close to their son, wondering how they will present the news to him, when he finally opens those eyes.Though the doctors have warned that no one should tell him about Sydney yet, for fear that he might loose it, but they also know that keeping it from him would be very hard, for she will be the first person he will ask after.While his eyes are closed, he has been calling her name, he seem to be having nightmares about what had already happened, or the scene kept replaying in his mind.Hours into the day, Sydney had been taken to the morgue, and everywhere had calmed down a bit, Lucious Mendez finally opened his now pale blue eyes, that doesn't seem to do justice to his cute face anymore.He looked around him and found his mother resting her head on the bed. He could see that his hands were connected to drips and cannulas for injection around hi
As soon as her mother was brought out to see her, she got up to meet her half way, before leading her to a seat."Mother you look better than the last time". She says, hiding her tears."I actually feel better than the last time". Her mother replies, pulling her face to look at her.You don't have to cry if you have not been able to raise the money, I believe something great will happen soon". Hearing her speak that way always bring tears to her eyes."Mother, I have decided to use my insurance, you will be admitted to Panacea, you will have the surgery done there, and even if my savings aren't enough, I have been told that I could work without pay for years, till I finish paying up"."I cannot let you do that. What about your school in Houston? Are you giving up on that? Do you want to remain just a nurse, when you can be so much more? She couldn't hide her tears anymore, she let it drop, soaking her white blouse. Whenever she visited, she would always promise herself that she will b
"Lauren Fonder, You are wanted, immediately at the senior doctor's office".Lauren and Pamela heard the inter-call, and she exchanged knowing glances with Pamela, who just resumed. "Did something happen? She asked Rhetorically. They hardly call her to the office, they usually call her head or her superior, but calling her, was scary. She brace herself and went to answer doctor Carter, who hardly smile at her, let alone, take a second look at her. But she sure admires him, for his intelligence.Pamela also encouraged her to move without fear. Since she haven't done anything wrong. practicing nurses, are usually summond into his office, to get oral query most times, but she have never been called in, because she have always been very careful and calculative. She went to the doctor's office, thinking this was a private meeting, or a case that have to do with her, not upgrading her studies and all, because she have heard the board will be visiting soon, and when ever they visit, they r
Doctor Carter walked them to the door, but by the time he came back, to the office, Lauren had left his office. He saw her leaving, but didn't bother calling her back, it is best, she goes home and think about what she have been told, that is a big opportunity for her.Lauren got back to her office and Pamela was already dying to hear what happened."Why do you look so gloomy? She asked, but Lauren didn't answer."Is it about upgrading and the board, that will be visiting soon? She asked again, but Lauren didn't answer still, she kept looking into space, lost in her own thought."Well I know what will cheer you up. I heard Mendez will be brought to our ward, I just pray I am assigned to be his personal nurse, I will do everything in my power, to make sure he is healed and there will be no paparazzi in sight. I will fight for him". Lauren looked up at her friend, but said nothing."The world won't just let a grieving man grieve in peace. I mean, they follow him everywhere. I don't e
Lauren went straight to bed, trying to forget everything about her worries and uncertainties, but instead of forgetting, she traveled to dream land. After all, dreams are actually formed that way, from what we dream and think about, before going to bed."Congratulations miss Lauren Fonder, you have been accepted and all fees have been paid in full, even advance payments were made". She receives a male from Houston and she was in smiles all through as she approach her friend Pamela, who was also very happy for her. They both danced and jumped around rejoicing that she made the right choice."You see, being in a contract marriage to a psycho isn't that bad you know, after all, it is only for five years, and within five years, even if you take all the shifts and double work in the entire city, you could never pay Houston's fee, but now, it has been paid in full". Pamela says, hugging her, and just then, she turned to look behind her, she noticed that her mother was standing there, looki
Lauren Fonder was shocked to be invited to the room where Lucious Mendez was being treated. Did he have to be present, for her to sign the contract?She swallowed hard upon seeing him again. He avoided his gaze, but he got up immediately and hugged her. "Oh Sydney, I thought you will never forgive me. When I heard you were coming here, I almost didn't believe it". He says holding her tightly". Are you okay? he asked, noticing her stiffness. Usually, she would have hugged him back, but she kept her hands behind."Yes I am fine". She answers. straightening her dress, before looking at the faces present. Why were there so many persons present? She wondered. There was no need saying much Infront of Lucious. She was handed the contract, and she went through the first page, then signed it, she couldn't wait to get it over with. "congratulations dear, you are officially, Mrs Lucious Mendez". She heard the voice of doctor Carter, and she feigned a smile. She waited to know what she is supp
Lauren slept over all that she had managed to read and learn about Lucious from Pamela. Pamela was something else, when it comes to anything that concerns Lucious. She had a whole Journal written about Lucious Mendez, she seem to know a lot about him, even though she never spoke to him, but then, Lauren isn't surprised. Pamela have always had a strong crush on Lucious, that even in her room, she have all this pictures from Magazines and newspapers of him, and she never hid her feelings, she was always open about it, to anyone, who wanted to know.She learnt that Cynthia, is his ex, just the same way she had suspected, and she never stopped trying to get back together with him, even after he married Sydney, she was still calling and trying to get in touch with him. Their breakup was caused as a result of Cynthia wanting to pursue her career further, when Lucious wanted her at home all the time with him. He cheated on Cynthia with Sydney, and he became bounded to Sydney. Rumors have
