In the base....After some shots, she was regaining herself. At least she could talk, smile and eat however, the poison was very visible in her system with no way of getting them out.Miles pushed open the slide, entered the room and shut it close. He clapped his hands and diverted Jocelyn's attention from her thoughts to his side. He smiled happily and dropped the bags he bought from the supermarket.“I can see you had fun shopping ” Jocelyn sarcastically announced and wined up the hospital bed up for her to sit properly. She adjusted the pillow and leaned on it.“Yes I did. And guess what I got for you? A new.........gown. ” He laughed and brought out the gown from the bag. It was the most gorgeous one she had ever seen but to bad, her grave was going to be the one to wear it.Jocelyn fully understood she did not have much time left on earth to try out everything she had always wanted to try out, and wearing a gown was one.Because of her strict father parenting style, she dressed a
She yelled tiredly and slapped herself hard with the pillow.Hours Later......“Girl, you have to tell me when you married the business devil. I am just really surprised and ” Kristine halted in her statement and adjusted the car mirror. She saw Alexa looking awkward and rubbing her arms together. “I think you need to go to the hospital for your cold. ”“No that is not the problem! I am so confused. Everything just happened so quick and now I am in a tight spot. You have to help me, I.......” Her phone beeped with a new message, she stared at the unknown number for a few minute and tapped on it.A picture popped open instantly and it contained the family portrait she saw on the basement of her mother. She enlarged the photo and looked through it.“Mrs. Hudston? Mom?” Her head spun in confusion as her fingers caressed her mom's face.It had been forever she had seen her smile and this time, she smiled with Mrs. Hudston. Things just got complicated second by second.“Any problem? You s
“Do you think my mother knows your mother? I mean, someone sent me a photo of your mother and mine. They seemed pretty close and alike. ”“Tonight is about us and not them. So, since I have answered your question truthfully, I want you to answer mine too. When would you give me an answer?” Ray sniffed her scent in and brought his lips closer to her. He could hear her violent heartbeat and smirked.She knew exactly what he meant and that was why she avoided his gaze. Not that she did not like him back, but she was scared and afraid. Alexa did not want what happened with Charlie to happen with Ray.“Uhhmmmm.........Ray, can you give me some time to think? It is just that........” She paused in her words when he locked his lips with hers. He pushed her to the bed, licked her lips passionately and cut the kiss abruptly.“I know. Love is not your thing and I get you don't want to end up broken again. I will wait for your answer ”“Thank you for being patient with me. I hope you will not be
So.......Should I drop you off or....?”“What choice do I have? He had trapped me on both sides and I have no other way to escape it. You can drop me off and go back to work!”“Sure!”....................In the Hudston's Mansion.The maids and guards lined outside the mansion with their knees on the floor and their head bent down. They all greeted him as he walked through the flowered pathway.The mansion was a seven plot of land, with huge statues, fountains and a little garden. Ray looked confused at the garden. This house held so much bad memories for him and never did he think he would still step his leg in such misery.The door opened up automatically as a new butler dressed in black and white uniform greeted him and led him to the dining room.“Young master Hudston, your appearance is most needed. This way, please ” He bowed his head and led him into the dining room where Jack and Brooklyn were seated on the chair and Emily nowhere to be found.“Son, come sit next to grandmothe
“WHAT?!” She asked softly covering the speaker of her phone. Missing? How was a grown man declared to be missing? “Can you please explain more?”“I dropped him off at the Hudston's mansion on the morning with the reason that his father demanded for his appearance in the mansion today. That is not a problem, now I came to pick him up, the maids told me that he had left a long time ago. I have searched the base, every possible places he could go and he is not there. His number is not working either ” Gabriel stressed further. His legs were shaking on the breaks as he explained further.The only possible and reasonable reason was that, they had provoked him, be that as it may be, that could not make him disappear from the face of the earth that fast.“I will try my best but I can't guarantee you anything. I will call when I get a clue or find him ” Alexa disconnected the call, hurriedly rushed back to their tables and packed her purse. “Felix, there is an emergency that came up and I am
He seductively carried her to the bed and laid her on the bed. He struggled to let her hands go of her eyes and kissed her cheeks.“Morning sweetheart, what do you have for me ”“Get dressed up, you are going to infect the doughnut. ” He chuckled at his wife's naive attitude and dressed up. Sitting down in the bed, he uncovered her eyes.“See, perfectly dressed up. So what do you have for me?”“I got you doughnut. I am sure you are going to like it ” She stood up from the bed, took the box and unwrapped it open. “Today, I am going to help you get your childhood memories you lost. Try a doughnut first! You will love it!”He took a bite out of the doughnut and rushed it into his mouth. He never thought that such a snack would be delicious! Although, he had seen lots of children eating it, he never knew it was heavenly.“When did you learn how to make such combo snacks?”“My mother and I loves to have a bite of all snacks in the world so I was forced to learn how to make it. It turns out
She dropped the information of the nurse on the table, shifted the letter to her views and sat down.“I got her house address but on getting there, I met her children and they said she was dead. At first, I did not want believe them so I made a little research and truly she was dead ”Her explanation made Emily more angry as she banged the table furiously. Her hands from the full force began to bleed. She sneered, put on an ointment on her bleeding hand and wrapped a plaster round it.“Why now? Conduct a DNA test for all the children she knows and do more investigation. I must get my daughter whether dead or alive. ”Emily commanded her at once as Georgina excuses herself and goes to carry out the task..................In Hudston's main mansion.Angry foot step stormed into the mansion as the maids and guards cowered at his extreme entrance. On Jack's face was nothing other than hatred and malice. He reached the living room door, kicked it open and entered into the room.He had a ti
She gripped his hands and intertwined them with hers while breathing on him. He smiled at her reply and took her with him out of the penthouse.................In Hudston's Cemetery...The workers had gone to work as they dug out Audrey's grave. Alexa and Ray stepped into the cemetery and moved further down to where Audrey's tomb was built.The sunflower and tulips planted around the grave was already dusty from the sand that came out from the grave. The workers pulled up the coffin with a device and lifted it up to the surface. The coffin was locked with codes.“I don't think she is in there ”They imputed the codes into the locks and it broke open while they raised up the cover and left it open. Alexa gasped as Ray's aura darkened. She was not dead! Her body was gone!“Do you miss me so much, Ray?” A voice echoed in their ears, a really familiar and similar voice. Ray shifted his gaze to the woman dressed in a simple
Next Six Years, In the Wedding Hall.“I now pronounce you husband and wife ”The pastor announced with the whole crowd cheering and howling at them. Bunch of roses fell on Valerie's head while Gabriel put in her ring on her fourth hand.They had finally agreed to get married and now that was done, her best friend still hadn't arrived. She contacted her and told her of her wedding day yet she didn't show up.“You've been watching outside frequently. are you expecting someone? ”“Yes, Alexa promised she'd be here. Maybe she just lied to get me out of her phone, or she is just avoiding here cause you Ray is also here too ”“Oh that is true. Does he know? ” Gabriel whispered into her ears while taking her to the backroom. He closed her eyes and opened it with a surprised look. Valerie gasped and ran to Alexa and embraced her.“Happy wedding Valerie!” Alexa smiled. Her smile made Va
Meanwhile....Valerie jumped through all the messy snack nylons on the ground to the chair, laid her head on Gabriel's lap and pushed in some chips in his mouth.“Open my big baby!” She jokingly teased him while he munched on the single chips and then swallowed it. His eyes was concentrated on the document he was typing so as not to make mistake with the letters.The documents was all about shares of the LR corps being transfered to the young miss as compensation for the big boss's frequent behavior of ignoring her.“You are always working! When can you stop and focus on me for one day ”“I wished my dear but you know how the workload of the LR corps is. It is a busy company with branches opened up in different locations. Obviously, there is suppose to be some heavy workload. ”“Then why do you have to bear it all? ” Valerie's upset and sassy mouth resurfaced as she put away the chips along with th
Jack stared at his son confusedly. Just how much did this boy love her so much that he his such crucial truth from her. Anyway, no matter how long he thinks he can hide it, she would find out one day.“Ray, listen up. You have to let her know. She is your blood and she deserves to know. You can't keep her in the dark. Yesterday, she dropped off to see your mother. Did you know how guilty your mother felt when she saw Alexa's current position? ”“Lexa came to see me? Why did not tell me?!” He jerked up from the couch with his face angry.Jack smirked at his response. So under this arrogant mask, he still very much cared and looked after her secretly, so why then did he now avoid her? When he received a call from Ray's personal maid about how Lexa felt, his heart broke into tears and decided to talk some sense into his son.“You better let her know and stop all this. Once you lose her, I am not sure you'd be able to find someone
“Pick up the call Ray, you are scaring me!” She sobbed in her palms, repeated the phone call again, and got the same response. Her calls were not going through because he kept declining her calls.She was damn confused and sobbed harder. Weren't they clear on loving each other without the child? Why did he suddenly ignore her every day after since the death of their unborn child?!“Madam, maybe he is busy to answer the phone call. You can try later. ” Miss Naomi tried her best to give some comforting words. She herself found Ray's attitude quite suspicious too, what happened to the super couple?“Busy?! That is a lie. He keeps ignoring my call and avoiding me. What is wrong with him? He wasn't like this before. Ray, don't hurt me like this please ” Her brightly shining tears dropped from her eyes until her eyes turned red.Miss Naomi helped to clean off Lexa's tears and took her to the bathroom to have a bath. Whatever was
He told her, bent his back and raised her up. He wrapped her around his back and brought his hands to his front and saw blood.“Lexa, are you alright?!” His eyes became worried as more blood was seen from where she was seating tied with rope and more dropping. “What is going wrong?”“Ray, I don't know. Ouch! I.....” Alexa yelled with force. “The baby! Help!” She shivered in pain as Ray ran quickly shooting anybody that came in his way. He jumped into the helicopter and supported her in his arms and ordered Miles to fly the helicopter to the hospital.Within five minutes, they arrived at the hospital with Alexa bleeding quickly. He ran into the ICu room called for help and rollers came out from the room, pushing her to the theatre.The others came running to the hospital including Valerie. Good news that she was found and saved but now, she was bleeding to death. What a bad Luck. Along with Valerie came her broth
Khloe removed her sunglasses, smiled towards Lexa and together, they went to have a talk in the boxing ring.“I......have something to say to you ” Lexa started the conversation as the two women were not ready to talk to each other. They were rivals in love chasing after one boy, so it would be unlike them to talk to each other.“Let me go first. Alexa, I am sorry for what I have done to you. I hated you so much because I was blinded by fake love. Ray And I have been childhood sweethearts and even dated for two months before I moved with my Uncle to the US. To be frank with you, I was jealous! I called you so many names all with fact that, you were better than me ”“I recall the day we officially met and you introduced yourself as his wife. I was so damn jealous that I was about to strangle myself. I did not know Ray would move on without me and even ignored our years of love, or I thought that he loved me ”“I fo
“He is associated with the underworld and many of his life history is a mystery. It is too dangerous. If you live me, I promise to make you happy for the rest of your life ” He tied his bleeding wrist with the table cloth.“Felix, are you somehow deaf?! Okay, Ray is not worthy of me, neither would you be. Let me put this straight to you, I don't see you as a man. I can't like you. ”“Why! Why! tell me! I am sure that cunning Ray has bewitched you into loving him. I know a cleanser that could relieve you off the bondage. I just ask you to love me back, Lexa!” He continued to stress on the matter.So all this while he had been with Alexa, she never even for once fancied him, has he been living in fantasy all this while? The truth was bitter and yet, he rejected it and blamed Ray for everything.Why won't he blame him? He was the main culprit why he could not get to Alexa. Every of his schemes to have her all failed and now th
“You are so naive! That is not how a relationship works, Valerie ” Gabriel snapped back at her, pushed her away from his view and moved to the exit of the room. “It requires trust and love. Just you knowing your feelings doesn't count. Feelings go and come which doesn't mean that you truly love the person!”“I know I am a naive stupid girl at love still I know what I feel when I see it. You are the one I like and I am sure of that ”“What of your other seven EX. Is that what you also told them too?”“Maybe I did. That is not the point, you're the true one as far as I know, don't ignore my feelings for you, please ”“Can't you get it?! Miss Davies, dinner would be served soon I suggest you wait in the dining room ” Gabriel emotionlessly answered her. He was done bickering with a girl who had no knowledge on relationship.“Fine! I don't want to have your dinner! You know wh
That made more sense. It was all Alexa's idea to make him free today to spend time with her, what a good babe! But, visit his parents? Won't that be too fast? They weren't even dating yet, if she came with him, it would make their relationship more complicated.Gabriel pulled his brows up with question marks written all over his head. Did she just say she wanted to see his parents with him? Was she thinking well? Or did she hit her head on something before coming out?“Why that look? I like old people ” She lied with her nose in an upright position. She hated old people, they over stressed her too much however for Gabriel, she was willing to try to like them.“You sure? My parents are not that old. Then if you say so, let us go. You just have to be careful of their questions. ” He reversed out from the lawn, drove down the road to the countryside.Hours later, they arrived at a duplex house covered in grasses and flowers with a little
