The next few days that passed, Althea felt a bit uneasy. She really wanted Phoenix to be back so she could give him the gifts she got for him.

Not being able to give him the gift, got her pretty worried as she so badly wants to see what his reaction would be to the gift.

Althea woke up that morning, having the same energy as she has always have. She freshened up and got dressed and headed downstairs. She met Nanny Patal as she approached the kitchen.

"Good morning Nanny Patal..!" She greeted.

"Good morning ma'am... did you sleep well?"

"I did... What's up for breakfast?"

"Some hot cup of tea, toasted bread and some scorched eggs..."

Althea's mouth watered at the mention of it.

"That sounds good. I'd be at the dining table waiting then..."

"Sure, it won't take long ma'am..."

With that, Althea went to the dining and took her seat. Her fingers tapping on the table as she patiently waited for breakfast to be served.

Soon, breakfast was served and Althea munched on the toasted bre

    With heavy footsteps, Oscar marched into the hospital, heading straight to Katie's Ward. Since she got out of coma, he had his men stationed right outside her private ward so they could keep an eye on her to avoid further accidents from happening. He barged into her Ward to see the doctor administering checkups on her. "Mr. Williams, you are here! " The doctor said but he ignored and moved straight to Katie who still looked as before. "Katie? Can you hear me? Can you see me?" He shook her slightly but she did not move an inch. Her eye balls didn't move either. He turned sharply to the doctor, landing his fierce gaze on him. "What the hell is going on, doctor? Why isn't she moving? Why isn't she responding to anything?" "You have to calm down Mr. Oscar..." "No! do not tell me to calm down. You said she moved her fingers... Why is she still lying down like a wood?" He asked, slowly loosing his patience. "Can we talk in my office?" "No! Let's talk here doctor. Whatever you have

    Althea changed into an oversized T-shirt that stopped right above her knee. She stood right outside Phoenix's door, contemplating if she should go in or not. Whether or not to give him the gift she bought.To her, it's kinda awkward giving him a gift but it's also for the purpose of specially thanking him for his help so far.She held the box tightly and inhaled deeply, then placed a soft knock on the door and waited his response but she got nothing.She knocked again and still got nothing."Phoenix.. This is Althea and I'm coming in." She said aloud, pushing the door open and stepping in.She met an empty room."Phoenix?" She called again but got no response.She thought he wasn't in the room, so she decided to head out and maybe come back after some time.As she got to the door, about to hold the door knob, she heard the door behind creak open and Phoenix stepped out with a towel tied dangerously around his waist." What are you doing here Althea?" He asked, clearly surprised to se

    As the car drove down the busy streets, Althea focused her gaze out of the window while her hands kept playing with the tip of her dress. She tried to figure out where on earth Phoenix is taking her to but all to no avail. She didn't want to ask questions either. After about an hour of driving, Draco drove into a place that was quite unfamiliar to her and pulled to a stop. "Draco! Have the entire place booked, I need my privacy..." Phoenix said for the very first time since they left home. Draco left but returned shortly. He waited for everyone in the building to leave before pulling the door for Althea to step out, when she did, he rushed over to Phoenix and did the same. Without a word, Phoenix marched straight towards the building and Althea knew better to follow up ahead. Why is he suddenly acting this way? Is he mad at her over what happened earlier? But she did nothing wrong right? She stopped walking when he did and looked around, wondering why he brought her to a shooti

    Althea surrendered herself to Nanny Patal and the maids as they applied make-up on her face."Make it a light make-up Nanny Patal. I don't want to turn ugly because of too much make-up on my face" She lamented for the seventh time."Of course Ma'am... But we just need to apply just a little contour over here and there..." She rolled her eyes mentally and just let the maids do their thing. Besides, Phoenix has given out his orders that she look extremely stunning tonight. Bet the maids are putting all of their efforts on it.After they were done applying make-up on her, they dressed her up in a long red glittery off shoulder gown which had a cut right from the bottom, up to her left knee.Then they proceeded to styling her hair, wrapping it up so beautifully."All done ma'am.." Nanny Patal said, helping her move to the mirror.Althea gazed at her reflection on the mirror and she was dazzled by how beautiful she looked.The make-up was light and the manner in which her hair was styled

    "Thank you Draco!" Althea said, stepping out of the car, alongside Phoenix. Her lips hung open as she stared at the helicopter right in front of her.They're going on a date right? Why do they need an helicopter?"Ever flew in an helicopter before?" Phoenix asked, watching her closely."No... Not even in my wildest dreams. But why do we need an helicopter?" "Because we're going to a different place. You know, I want to take you to cloud 9 tonight Althea. A place where you've never been.. I know a reputable restaurant in Italy, it sells the best foods, I want you to have a taste of Italian foods..." "What?.. Did you just say Italy? We're headed to Italy?" She asked, obviously not expecting it.Phoenix smiled, grabbed her hand and headed towards the helicopter.He helped her get in and Althea was starstruck all the way. This was her first time getting into an helicopter and as it ascended into the air, she couldn't help but get all excited."Are we really doing this Phoenix? I'm not d

    "Go on!" Phoenix urged her again. He could sense that there's something eating her up. "Uhm. why don't you have any friends? I mean, I have stayed in your home for over a month now but no one has visited you, not even once.." "Well, I am a man who loves my privacy a lot. Besides, it's my choice not to have any friends.." "Is it because you're still hurting because of your family?" He snapped his head towards her, the look on his face turning into that of displeasure. "How do you know about my parents?" Althea decided not to flinch even when the tone of his voiced changed. Besides, he told her to feel relaxed."Nanny Patal told me. And of course, she wasn't gossiping, I asked out of curiosity and she told me" Phoenix was silent.. More like he was trying to fight through his thoughts. He didn't expect her to pry into his personal life." I guess she must have told you everything right? She has been my nanny since I was a teenager!"" Not everything... I'm only just curious now wh

    Althea couldn't help but get more inquisitive regarding what Phoenix is about to say to her. Yes, she has always pondered on what the reason could be! Why was he helping her out?. Because it's actually awkward. It's a good thing he brought that up himself. "Well, do you want to hear it now?" Phoenix asked. "Yes! If that is really okay with you!" She said. She heard him sigh softly while she gave him her complete attention. "I know you have been wondering why a stranger would be so keen on helping a stranger who's charged with a murder case right? You must find it awkward?" She nodded her head in response. "Well, I also have my own fair share of betrayal from Oscar Williams. He has hurt a lot of people so badly, so it's not just you!..!" Althea's face contoured with confusion. Fair share of betrayal? What has Oscar done? As if to read through her thoughts, he answered. "Oscar Williams is my cousin. His dad and my Dad were brothers..." He paused and studied Althea's face. He

"Althea swallowed, avoiding Oscar's gaze but she has already begun n and there's no going back. " Yes! Right after Phoenix got me out of prison, I began to develop feelings for him.

    The following morning, Althea dressed up as usually and got ready to head to the hospital for her weekly check up routine. Oscar insisted on going with her but asked him not to, reminding him that he had work to attend to and he can't keep being her bodyguard over such trivial issues. Oscar didn't want to but had to give in because of some emergencies that came up at work but still, he insisted that she should go with the driver, that way, he won't be worried. Althea felt relieved as that would give her the opportunity to do what she wants to. She got downstairs and met the ladies busy making plans for their vacation trip.

    Althea remained quiet as they drove back home. She kept staring out the window, lost in thoughts and and as Oscar noticed that she hasn't said a word, he turned on the music to lighten up the mood. "Are you okay?" He asked. "Hm" That was her response. "I loved what you days back there... You put Phoenix in his place.." " He deserved it and even worse. I hope he rots in hell.. " She gritted out. " He will, definitely!! " Oscar said, taking a U-turn and facing a different direction from home. Althea looked at him, wondering why he suddenly took a different turn. "Where are we going? " " I want you to meet someone.. It's senator James Grayson's young wife... I want you to see for yourself, the condition she's in"____________They drove into a penthouse and after pulling to a stop, they both stepped out and made their way in.

    Phoenix felt like the stars were on his side today. What an easy way to get rid of Althea. He'd simply just inject her and then walk out freely like nothing ever happened. By the time any one would notice, she'd be long dead... He felt like laughing out his victory as he placed the tray down and picked a particular injection from the tray, then turned to Althea was fast asleep on her bed with on of her arm slightly over her face. He moved closer to her, his smirk getting wider. "What a pity you'd have to die a slow and eat death. I would have loved to see you beg for my mercy while torturing you... But either ways, this is going to make you feel endless pains... Good bye Althea and don't worry, Oscar would be joining you soon" He said aloud, lifting the injection and making a move to inject her with it but to his surprise, the supposed Althea, turned and swiftly held his hands, and kicked him hard on his tommy and before he knew what was going on, he was already on the floor writ

    Later that evening, The ladies were gone and it's just Althea and Oscar in the ward. Althea kept playing with her fingers, while biting on her lower lip while Oscar kept slicing the apples while avoiding her gaze. They are both acting awkward because of the kiss they almost shared. Yes, it's weird because at that moment, they both lost their senses. Sighing deeply, Althea thought about if they had really kissed, if only they weren't interrupted, she wished. "Oscar?.." She suddenly called before she could stop herself. "Yes!?" She suddenly went blank. Why did she call him in the first place? What was she going to say? "Nevermind!" She said, averting her gaze.. Such stupid thing to say. Silence befell them, but not for long as Oscar broke the silence. "I noticed you had fun with the ladies..." He said, trying to start up a conversation because he hated the way they kept acting. "Yes! I had fun. we talked about a lot of things and I really enjoyed it. It felt like we've known

    "Girls.. Welcome!!" Althea said when the tension in in the room was getting out of hand.The ladies walked up to her, their piercing eyes not leaving hers."What in the world was happening?" Lynx exclaimed." I guess two individuals are about making out... " Rachel said jokingly. Althea's face flushed in embarrassment. "I suggest you two get a private Ward to go down memory lane... We perfectly understand that it's been years and you two need to recharge... it's totally understandable!!" Mayra commented, placing the basket she was holding down. Althea couldn't contain the embarrassment anymore ... " Stop it ladies, we really weren't doing anything.. " She defended herself but that earned a chuckle from the ladies. " It's okay with the teasing. Someone's face is about turning tomato red, we can't let it burst open! " Katie said, sitting on the Sofa, together with Mayra...

    Oscar shifted in his sleep as he enjoyed the feeling he was getting on his hair. It felt soothing but after thinking about it and realizing that he was still at the hospital, he jerked up to meet Althea's smiling face. For a moment, he went blank as he didn't know what to say. Deep down, he felt happy seeing her awake but the doctors words to him was still very much audible in his head. That alone made him had mixed feelings.. He didn't know what to feel at the moment, should be be happy or sad. However, he realized that what's done is done and he can't change anything or question fate. He decided to push it aside and just live by the present. Thinking about it constantly will only make him more sadder than he has been. He forced himself to smile, however, he tried to make it look sincere, for her sake and not to get her more worried. "Althea... You're awake!!" He said, reaching out for her cheeks and caressing them slightly. "Yes I am... " She said, her voice low and steady.
