THE STRANGE FEELING" Mom, what are you talking about?" I asked her as I turned to Bella so she doesn't see my face, my mom always had, should I say a superpower, because she'd look at your face and already know what you're thinking. It was scary sometimes." I'm your mother and you seem to forget I'm a very observant woman, I saw the way that man looked at you, and from what you told me, your company is a very renowned company, so which of the boss is he?" " He's my boss, like the CEO of our company," " Now can you tell me what a very busy CEO was doing in this room? When he could send someone in his stead I know he doesn't do this for all employees, so care to explain," " I'm his secretary mom, so if I don't come to work everyone would surely know and I'm closest to him than the other staff"" Let's say I believe you, explain why he was looking at you the way he did, I know when a man likes a woman, don't fool me, Anna, I know you're hiding something," Now I was trapped." I..I.."
YOU'RE MY GIRLFRIEND" Don't move, just start driving," He said as my eyes went to the door contemplating opening it and running out." Don't even think about it, I said just drive," He said and I started the car." Don't do anything funny, I swear you won't like what I'll do to you," " What's wrong with you Derick? Why are you doing this?" I asked as I kept driving, where did he even want me to go?" Where are we going? Where are you taking me?" I asked him." We're going home baby, where it's just you and me like old times, just you and me, drive to my house," He commanded and I found myself driving to his house." This is wrong, this is considered kidnapping Derick, you can't do this to me," I said as I took a turn, I saw a police car parked at the corner of the road and he saw it too, I contemplated stopping and screaming for help but I saw him bring out something shiny and my eyes went round in surprise." Didn't I tell you not to think of trying anything funny? You're my girlfr
HER CRAZY EX The first thing I noticed as I walked out of the elevator was that Anna wasn't in the office, maybe she was running late. I called this morning and I wasn't getting any response from her. Worry kicked in but I pushed it down, what if something happened to her friend? She'll be here, maybe she's caught up in traffic, Anna wasn't the type of staff that comes to work late. I walked to my office hoping that she would be here soon. Thirty minutes later and I still haven't heard from her, normally she would have called but I haven't gotten any call from her either. Worry set in again, I couldn't go to the hospital because I know people would start wondering who this guy was who was always coming to the hospital, also her mom was in the hospital and I didn't know if Anna already told her about our relationship, I know Anna didn't want that. I just had to be patient and she'll come. But after two hours of working and there still wasn't any sign of Anna, there was no doubt t
TEN TIMES HOTTER " This is insane Derick, why would you do that?!" I asked as I demanded for my phone but he still wouldn't give me. " What part of you're my girlfriend don't you understand? I'm not letting you out of this house, you're not going back to that man!" He said in anger. " What man are you talking about?" I asked him even though I knew he was referring to Cole. " Don't pretend you don't know who I'm talking about when he claims to be your boss but wants more from you," He said. " I'm done doing this with you Derick, give me my phone, I'm getting out of this place," I said as I struggled to get the phone from him but he wrapped his hand around my neck and a gasp escaped my mouth in fear. " I've tried to be nice but you're pushing me to the wall," In the real sense of the word he was the one pushing me to the wall. " You're hurting me," I managed to squeeze out trying to pry his hands off my neck but he only tightened it. " You don't seem to get me but you're mine, yo
BEAUTIFUL GRAY EYES " What are you doing here Anna? Go back inside," The stupid guy dared to say even with the police officers standing in front of him, this guy had lost his mind. " No Derick, stop what you're doing, you need help, get help, seek a doctor because something is definitely wrong with you," Anna said as she walked out. I was fighting everything in me not to make a scene, especially with the mark Anna had on her neck like he tried choking her. " No, you're not going anywhere, you're my girlfriend, my girlfriend," He said as he went to grab Anna's hand but she quickly pulled away rushing to me and the officers blocked him. " You're coming with us," They said as they grabbed him and handcuffed him. " Why are you arresting me? I didn't do anything wrong, can't a man have a little quarrel with his girlfriend? What's wrong with you all?" He said as he struggled while Anna just shook her head before turning to me. " It's taking everything in me right now not to punch that
STRANGER " Oh my God, you're awake, you're awake hon," My mom said with tears in her eyes as she rushed to Bella's side. " Thank God," My Dad breathed in relief, everyone was so worried about her. I was on the other side of the bed as I looked down at Bella. " Water," She whispered dryly and I quickly rushed to get her water. " I'll call the doctor," Dad said as he opened the door and walked out to go get the doctor. Mom took the glass of water from me and she helped Bella drink the water with a straw, whispering for her to take it gently. After she drank as much as she could she laid back down on the bed as she looked at us with confusion in her eyes. I'm sure she was surprised she found herself here. " What am I doing here? Who are you people?" Mom and I slowly turned to look at each other in confusion, how terrible was the accident that she suddenly couldn't remember a thing? " What are you saying, Bella? We're your family, this is Mom and me Anna, your best friend slash si
NO TOUCHING RULEI contemplated giving my number to him as I looked at the phone he stretched to me. Not thinking much about it, I took his phone and gave him my number, I'd have to check if he was doing okay." Hope it's not a fake number?" He asked and I chuckled." No it's not, I really have to go back now, it was nice meeting you again," I said as I turned but I turned right back when I remembered that I didn't get his name." I'm sorry but I don't remember your name," I said, " I'm Nathan, Nathan Rivers," " Oh, okay, nice to meet you, Nathan," I said before I smiled at him, and then I walked off." Hey Mom," I entered Bella's room to see that she had gone back to sleep." Is everything okay Mom?" I asked in concern." Yes everything is okay, she's just tired," I couldn't help but breathe in relief when she said that.Sometime later Bella woke up and I was feeding her when a knock came on the door. The door opened to reveal Luke as he walked in with a smile on his face." I see
I'M YOURS BABY GIRL I would have quietly exited the room without them seeing me but the problem was Luke choose that moment to turn to the door and damn did he look embarrassed. He quickly pulled away from Bella and scratched the back of his neck looking everywhere but at me. " Did I interrupt something?" I asked knowingly as I looked at them, Bella had her lower lip in between her teeth in embarrassment and I could see her cheek turn pink. " Uhm, I've got to see my doctor, see you Bella, take care," Luke said in a rush, and before any of us could say a thing he rushed out of the room. It was now time to tease the hell out of my best friend. " Well, you know I didn't expect that, that you'd wake up and find love so quickly," I said to her with a cheeky smile. " What are you talking about?" She asked looking down. " Yeah, I'm going to wipe off the image of you kissing Luke," " Shut up," She grumbled and I chuckled. " Bella's in love," I teased her as I went to sit beside her o
JUSTICE “ Tag, you're it," Andrew or should I say Sammy hit his father as he ran away and Cole chased after him trying to tap him.I couldn't help but laugh at his little laugh, it was filled with so much joy. Cole ran to me and I dodged taking the route my son took and he laughed, turning back to see if his father was close.“ Got you,” Cole said as he caught Andrew." No, no,” Andrew laughed as he tried to get away from his father." Mummy to the rescue, tag, you're it,” I said as I touched Cole, making him our target as Andrew and I started running after him.“ I'll get you daddy, mummy go that way,” Andrew said as we both blocked Cole and tackled him and he fell to the ground laughing." Okay you both win,” he said as we both fell to the ground on each side of him laughing." Sam baby,” Cole suddenly called as Andrew turned him smiling." Yes Daddy,” he said," How would you feel about Anna being your mom?” he asked," Cole,” I warned, I don't know if this was the right time. I
REUNION “ I really don't know how to feel about this, should I say I'm jealous?" Liam said as he held my hand and I sighed." I'm sorry Liam, I'm…"“ Hey, there's nothing to be sorry about, you told me right from time, I was just hopeful. I can't stop you from being happy. It pains me that I'm not the one you chose but if you're happy, I'm happy, you finally get the family you've wanted. If I'm not happy for you, what type of a person would that make me? I wish that you never get to cry again, you now know your son, you're with the father of your child who you love. As much as I hate to say this, the guy is crazy about you and I'm sure he'll protect you," he said and I couldn't help but smile. “ You're the best person I've met Liam, you're so understanding and caring, I promise you that you'll find a woman who deserves your love, believe me," I said and he nodded as he took my hand and dropped a kiss on it." Thank you Anna, this means a lot,” he said and I smiled." I'll return to
CONFESSIONS AND FORGIVENESS As soon as I heard that she was awake I practically ran out of the house as I got into the car.I drove out of the house, heading straight to the hospital as I clenched my hands on the steering wheel, impatience filling me.I got to the hospital as I parked the car and ran into the building. I stopped at her room door trying to compose myself before I knocked.I quietly opened the door and walked in as everyone turned to me but the only eyes that caught my attention were her beautiful eyes.Those brown eyes that have haunted me for years.“ Hey," I greeted as the Liam guy bent to her and kissed her cheeks before walking out of the room, her assistant following.“ I'm glad you're awake," I said, not knowing what else to say. " Thank you for saving me,” she said. She didn't have to thank me for anything, I'd do anything for her." Why did you do it?" She suddenly asked and I looked at her in confusion.“ Anna, I'd do it all over again, I can't see you in tr
THE LIFEBLOOD OF SACRIFICE “ We had to flush her blood to take off the poison because it was just too much and taking off blood meant we had to give her more blood but the problem now is we're out of blood that matches hers,”“ You can take mine!" The three of us said at the same time.“ As long as it matches, it would be to her advantage if we can get a donation from all three of you," the doctor said. " What are we waiting for? Let's go,” her assistant said in impatience as she followed the doctor first while I just leaned on the wall waiting." You can't blame me for something I didn't know. You can't imagine how I feel right now knowing that my son is the son the woman I love has been looking for for over four years, you don't know what I've been through so you don't have the right to judge me. You don't know what I had to endure for the past four years. I'm not telling you this for you to like me, I'm letting you know that you have to know someone's story before you conclude wh
BETWEEN LIFE AND DEATH I can't die, not when I have a chance of seeing my son. Not now.She stood up with the syringe in her hand as she flicked the tip and looked at me with a sinister smile.“ I've been waiting for this part, she's going to know how it feels like to have needles constantly being pierced into you," Derick said, looking at me with excitement.“ You see this little needle, I'm going to inject it into you nice and slow and you're going to die nice and slow, nobody will know it's me, and Cole will be mine and mine alone and as for your son, he's going to call me mom for the rest of his life," she said as she started walking towards me and I shook my head, struggling to be free.“ If I were you, I'd keep calm or this might cut a vein and you'll just bleed to death, either way it works for me,” she said as she bent to my neck and I tried to move back but I couldn't. “ Enjoy," she whispered before she stabbed the needle into my neck and I felt the substance swim inside my
SHADOWS OF THE PAST “ Sam! Sam!" I called as I ran into the house like a man whose house had been set on fire.“ Sam!” I called as I ran upstairs to his room but he wasn't inside." Martha! Martha! Where's Sam?” I asked his nanny and she looked at me in confusion." He's in the garden, his grandpa came to see him,” I didn't wait a second, I was already running towards the garden and I couldn't help but breathe in relief when I heard his laughter.He was alright. But anger immediately boiled in my body when I remembered the reason why all this happened in the first place was here in my house." Sam!” I called as I ran to my son and hugged him," You're okay, you're doing okay, let's go,” I said as I took his hand and he turned to look at his grandfather." Dad, I want to play with Grandpa a little," he said as I carried him.“ Maybe some other time," I said and without sparing my dad a glance I walked into the house." Take care of him, make sure nobody takes him, if anything happens
SECRETS UNCOVERED Although I couldn't see his face, I couldn't mistake the voice. How could he have a hand in this? I thought…I thought. I was just so fucking confused.“ I thought you told me you changed? Then why are you here?" I asked and he laughed, a crazed type of laughter, like someone who has lost it.“ You thought I changed, you're so funny Anna, after what you did to me?” he said as he moved closer to me and I caught a little glimpse of his face, despite the darkness.“ You ruined my life," he said, “ I did no such thing," I said as I struggled on the chair. " Really, you did nothing, are you fucking forgetting the fact that I was sent to a mental asylum because of you?” he asked in a dangerous voice that sent shivers down my spine." You brought it upon yourself, that was the right place for you because you were fucking crazy," I said and he laughed. " I'm going to show you crazy,” he said as he started walking towards me." Stay where you are Derick don't fucking come
THE TRUTH “ What did you just say?" I asked but he pointed at the file I was holding.“ Spent a lot of money to get that because she fucking paid a lot to have their mouth shut and have them do what she wants. I don't know why Anna would mix with people like this," I pretended not to hear those words as I slowly opened the file.My heart was pounding in my chest afraid of the truth I'd find in there.I brought out the medical report which has Mirabel's name and every single record about her as I started going through them.My breath caught in my throat when I reached where it said she couldn't have a child because of her damaged womb. Then how come Sammy?But she was pregnant, I saw her baby bump, she did all the things pregnant women did. Was that…was that all an act?No, no, it can't be, could it.I was fucking confused.And Anna.“ Now you know, right? So where's she?” he asked me and I came back to my senses.If he was looking for Anna and she wasn't with me with nor have he seen
FIST TALK “ I thought you were happily married, why do you look so scared?" I asked her as calmly as I could and she blinked before she sat down in front of me. That's so rude she didn't even ask for my permission.“ Listen up you bitch, Cole and I have been happily married for four years and we have a son, he loves me, do you hear that? He loves our son and not even a stupid slut like you can break our family." she said and I looked at her with a raised brow. “ If he's so in love with you you don't need to warn me, besides I'm not interested in your man, stop being dramatic and get out of my sight, I came here to eat not listen to your pathetic voice," I said and she scoffed as she folded her hands glaring at me. “ If you say so, if I see you anywhere near Cole or my child, you'll regret knowing me, I bet you," she said before she stood up and left.Once a bitch, always a bitch.“ I'm sorry ma'am, it took a little time to get ready," the waitress said as she dropped my food. It wa
