Her phone suddenly started ringing.'Ring... Ringgggg...'Who was calling her by that time of the night?She glanced at the caller ID and smiled."Hey Laurel. What's up?" Laurel was her best friend and the CEO of a perfume company.Laurel's voice boomed over the loud speakers blaring at the background.Kathleen arched her brows. Where the hell was her friend by this time of the night?"Hey Kath! Come over to Sharaton bar. Hurry,we are having fun!!" Laurel screamed over the fun.Obviously, they were having fun just like she said. Laurel had always been a party type. She always loved to have fun.Kathleen glanced at the grandfather clock in her living room; 11:00pm.So late...However,she couldn't deny she was bored."Are you coming over now??!!!!" Laurel's loud voice startled her. She had forgotten she was on a call."Yeah, be there in five!!!" Kathleen equally shouted."See ya!!" Kathleen hung up.Well well, it wouldn't hurt to have a bit of fun.After these past few days stress,she w
Jayden and Ariana.Quinn woke up with a smile on her face. She was in a very good mood. Her hand subconsciously moved towards her side. She sighed in relief when she felt Emelda's body.After the day she was discharged from the hospital, Quinn started making her daughter sleep with her on the same bed. She didn't want her body to act up and she wasn't beside her."Good morning mum," Emelda woke up at her mother's touch."Good morning pumpkin, how was your sleep?" Quinn drew close to her and kissed her forehead.Emelda giggled."It was fine. I dreamt about you mum." Emelda leaned into her mum's embrace."Really? Tell me about it." Quinn was amused."No mum, I will tell you later." Emelda hugged her mom tighter.'Ring... ringgggg.' The sound of her ringtone distracted their quiet moment.When Quinn saw the caller ID, she chuckled."Hey Khloe. What's up girl?" Quinn questioned gaily."Nothing much. The others wanted us to meet. The usual spot." Khloe said in her usual calm voice."Alright
Being the Oriole.CALIFORNIAHenry was unsettled all through the morning. Kathleen had been giving him the cold shoulders for weeks now. She had been acting indifferent.However...He knew it was his fault. But did he care? It wasn't as if he was in love with her after all.Since Quinn was claiming she was married, he had to pay her back.The best way to do that?Get married to Kathleen.Yes, that was what he was going to do...But if he did, wasn't he subjecting himself to a lifetime of unhappiness.Well, it doesn't matter, he was going to go ahead with his plans first..."Raven, what time is the meeting?" He asked his assistant.He had a conference meeting with the shareholders of the company.In fact, the recent happenings was what was going to fuel his decision to get married to Kathleen.Getting married to her would make the Corporation stronger..."In ten, President..." Raven stood respectfully beside him.He had been standing beside Henry for ten minutes now but he seemed to be
Siding with their daughter, weren't they?Washington DC.Stephen was quietly brooding in his office. He was hurt from his conversation with Quinn's mother. Who did she think she was?Even though she was a Stone, did that give her right to trample on others? Did that give her the right to act arrogant towards him?He made a mistake... Women were arrogant...But deep down, he knew she had every right to act that way towards him; she was after all a Stone.And who were the Stones?The most powerful family in the country.He tapped his fingers impatiently on the table... What if he met with her dad instead?He had pure intentions... He only wanted to court their daughter.Then ?He was also from the Arnold's family.. He was also wealthy in his own right. Although he couldn't compare to the Stone's family at all.Compared to them, his own family was just a speck of dust.But he wasn't deterred at all... In fact, his determination increased...It was either Quinn or no one else. He had to
He was hers for keeps.Kathleen walked down from the plane in excitement. She was very excited...Soon she would be having a dinner date with her fiance.A date!She was looking forward to it.But why couldn't Henry be romantic enough to pick her up from the airport?Damned Henry.....Some minutes later, she was driving on her way to Henry's house. Since they were having a date, it wouldn't make sense for her to drive to the location all by herself right?So, in order not to stress her handsome fiance, she could just stay at his place till the time was due.She parked her car at the garage immediately she drove through the gate.She walked to the door and inserted the spare key she had. Henry had given her a spare key because she had the habit of returning from Los Angeles any time she liked.She went straight upstairs and jumped on the bed directly. She was kind of worn out from everything that has been happening lately.She couldn't wait to officially become Henry's wife.Wife...S
X"Do you really want to go?" Quinn chuckled helplessly."Yes mum. I want to go and stay with them for a while. I will miss you though." Emelda cuddled up to her mother.Quinn patted her head fondly.Her parents and grandparents were insistent that Emelda came to stay with them. They were even of the opinion that Emelda continued schooling there.Quinn was afraid that Emelda would be against it. After all, she was separated from her mother.But how wrong she was!Emelda was ecstatic about the idea."Okay.. I will them a call right now and tell them you are coming." Quinn smiled, though she was sad.She was going to be separated from her daughter. She felt really really sad."Mum... Don't worry, you will visit me there right?" Emelda questioned with a cute smile."Of course I will. Mum can't bear to be away from you for so long. Silly.." Emelda snuggled closer to her mother.Quinn picked up her phone to call her grandfather.After few rings, he picked up."Hello?" His voice sounded at
We owe each other nothing.Days later, Quinn came back to California. Though she was sad to but she had no other options...She headed straight to the Stones' Corporation immediately she left the airport. While on the way, she asked her assistant for reports."Everything is okay. I managed everything well in your absence." Avie smiled.Quinn nodded and turned her gaze outside the window."President, I don't know if I should tell you this," Avie said awkwardly.."What is it? Go ahead." Quinn smiled."CEO Henry is getting married in a few weeks time." Avie said.She was well aware of Quinn's relation with Henry. Though she felt nosey but she felt Quinn had to know about it. "Really? Okay." Quinn's short reply made Avie wonder if she did the right thing by informing her.She focused on driving and didn't say a word anymore.Quinn was deep in thoughts... He was finally getting married? That was great.But why did she feel her heart clench in pain? She suddenly felt sad...Why would she b
A fake marriage.Henry drove off in anger. How dare she? Having the guts to kick him on the groin?'Damn you Quinn!' He cursed inwardly.What nonsense was she spouting just now? They owed each other nothing?Was that what she thought?She owed him her body... Everything about her belonged to him.In fact what she did today strengthened and fueled his resolve to get her back.Did she think she could actually leave him?What a joke...He however noticed something...She lived alone; that meant her so called 'husband' wasn't living with her. Her husband.... He felt angry thinking about it.He knew what to do... He had to find out who her husband was.He was sure it wasn't anyone comparable to him.He only had to threaten him into divorcing Quinn. "She would come running into my hands soon enough. Just soon..." He muttered to himself as he sped on.He decided to go to his family's residence instead of going to his own home.After making the decision, he drove towards his family's resid
