The Stones family residence.The Stones family were all seated round the dining table, having breakfast. "Mum, your culinary skills are as good as ever." Quinn said between mouthfuls."Of course..." Nicole smiled as she took a bite of her apple cheesecake.Henry laughed lightly when he remembered how similar her words sounded with that of his mum's, the other time.Henry stuffed a piece of sliced turkey on Emelda's plate."Eat more... You look skinny." He smiled."What are you trying to say? We aren't feeding her well?" Lily chuckled."No, no. That's not what I meant." Henry shook his head vehemently."That's by the way... When are we expecting a mini Henry?" Raphael said casually.Henry who was about to take a sip of water, choked on it,'Cough, cough...'Quinn patted him on the back,"That's what you get, from letting grandfather tease you." She laughed."I wasn't teasing him. I'm serious... We already have a mini Quinn, we need a mini Henry." He shrugged."Grandpa..." Quinn chuckl
Khloe's apartment."She's literally avoiding me. Although I pretend like it's fine, it isn't.... I'm hurt." Jayden said with his head bowed."You shouldn't expect her to treat you well, after what you did to her. You betrayed her trust." Khloe said quietly.Her eyes contained a look of pity.She also felt guilty. After all, she also played a part in what happened that night... She felt like she had to bring them back together.Even if they remained friends, and not lovers...."I can't get over her, Khloe.... I can't..." He sniffled.Khloe was silent for a while. She felt there was nothing she could say to console him."Care for a drink?" She was already on her way to her mini bar.She came back with a bottle of wine, and two glasses.She poured the wine into the two glasses, and handed one to Jayden,"Drink up." She said.He nodded and gulped it down. He cleared his throat at the spicy taste at the back of his throat."Another." He handed the glass over to her."She loathes me, Khloe.
Quinn leaned her head calmly on the back passenger's seat. She and her mum had gone shopping."Mum.... What are we going to use all these clothes for? They are much you know..." Although Quinn was complaining, she had a smile on her face."Most of them are for Emelda. She lacks clothes." Nicole shrugged."Mum... Really?!" Quinn widened her eyes and looked at her mum dramatically."What mum? Why are you reacting like that?" Her mother chuckled."Emelda has tons of clothes. Her clothes are more than enough, mum." Quinn chuckled."It wouldn't hurt if we upgraded her wardrobe a little. So stop reacting in that manner." Her mother closed her eyes and placed her fists on her lap.All of a sudden the driver swerved dangerously."What was that? Can't you drive carefully?" Quinn patted her beating heart to calm it down."Sorry madam..." The driver apologized nervously.He didn't know what had happened earlier..."Whatever... Drive carefully." Nicole said.She had also been frightened of what h
Raphael sighed as he sat calmly in his study. In front of him was Henry, who was fidgeting on his seat."What do you think about my offer?" He asked calmly looking at Henry.Henry was silent for a minute."I thought you wanted me to work as your gardener?" He asked."Yes... That was what I wanted. However what I said was merely to test you. How bad would it be, if my daughter's husband was my gardener. Everyone would then assume that you are a live-in son-in-law. It would be a smear on my daughter's reputation. I wouldn't want that." Raphael said."Oh.. I never thought of that. All I wanted was to make it up to her. I knew I hurt her, so I am willing to undergo any punishment to prove my sincerity." Henry said solemnly."Do you think I would give my granddaughter to someone who would hurt my granddaughter?" Raphael asked.Henry looked at him squarely. Of course he wouldn't!The Stones weren't fools... Their daughter's happiness was their priority."I'm not leaving you with any choice.
Henry carried the drunk Quinn upstairs.'Why did she drink so much?' Henry wondered as he carefully placed her on the bed.Her body reeked of alcohol. Henry facepalmed himself. Couldn't her friends pity her a little?He pulled off her shoes, and threw them on the floor. He tried pulling her up,"Aaahh..." She seemed heavy today.Was it true that when someone was drunk, they weighed much more than they did when they weren't drunk?He shook his head; what nonsense was he thinking?He pulled her up, and placed her on his shoulders. Heaving a little, he took her straight into the bathroom.She needed to shower before sleeping. He wouldn't be able to sleep with her like that.He placed her under the shower and heartlessly turned it on.Quinn turned a little when she felt the cold shower raining down on her."What the hell?-" She slurred out.She then shrieked,"Damn you Henry!!! What the fuck I'm I doing under the shower?!" She shouted."Nothing... Taking a shower, I guess." He chuckled.
Quinn joined Henry at the balcony. They were free that day. Emelda was with her grandparents.She hugged him from behind, and inhaled his manly scent."You were asleep, so I didn't want to disturb you." Henry smiled."You did well... If you had woken me up, I would have cut off your balls..." Quinn dug her nails into his back."Hey, that hurt.." Henry yelped." But you don't say that whenever we are making love, do you?" Quinn chuckled."That's different. Whenever we are making love, I'm in a state of ecstasy... So, I don't feel whatever pain you inflict on me." Henry said as he breathed in the early morning air."Is that right? I would test it out today then." Quinn laughed lightly."You wouldn't dare to." Henry refuted."Why do you say so? I will inflict pain on you tonight, when we are making love." Quinn vowed playfully."That is too far." Henry replied."What is?""Leaving the infliction of pain, till night, is too far. Why don't you do it now?" Henry provoked."What? You want to
It was evening. Kyra and her mother were in the kitchen preparing dinner.The friends decided that it was time to leave."Ma'am, We are about to leave!" Emelda shouted.She had visited alongside her friends..."Really?! I will be there in a sec." Kyra's mother yelled from the kitchen.She soon came out, wiping her hands on her apron."Leaving already? No way... You guys must stay for breakfast." Kyra's mother said."Ma'am.. We'll have to apologize then. We gotta go.""Of course you can... After having dinner with us." Although she was smiling, her tone was firm.She wouldn't let them go.The friends were quiet for a while, and then they sighed,"Okay ma... We'll stay for dinner." They dragged their feet back to the living room and sat on the sofa."Great... Dinner will be ready in five..." With that, she dashed back to the kitchen...................The door opened, and the friends were startled.A man walked into the room.One look at him, and the friends could tell that he was Kyr
Quinn frantically dialed his number again. But all she heard was the same robotic voice,"Sorry, the person you are trying to call is unavailable. You can leave a message." She threw her phone angrily on the bed.Where the hell was he?She remembered the call she got from that lady.... Was he possibly having an affair?Henry was an ex playboy, so it was quite possible. She pulled out her phone, and dialed her mother's number.Her mother picked up at the first ring,"Sweetheart?""Mum! Henry isn't back yet... And it is unusual for him to stay out late like this." Quinn sobbed."Calm down dear.... Did he tell you he was going to stay out late?" Her mother asked calmly."He didn't.... Worse still, I can't seem to get through to him." Quinn continued sobbing."Be calm... You know what? Hold on a little, I will be there in a jiffy." Nicole hung up.Quinn fell to the floor weakly. What could have happened? Why did it seem like people close to her were disappearing recently?"Henry... Henry
