“Fertility tonics...?.” Noah who had just walked out from the bedroom could not believe his ears. ‘Why would his grandfather bring them fertility tonics?.’ He thought as he looked from his grandfather to Lola whose face was reddened with embarrassment. ‘Why did I even bother to ask?.’ Lola thought and stared down at the floor.Grandfather Sanchez was grinning from ear to ear satisfied with his great thinking. With the fertility tonics he had personally ordered from China which was to boost the couple’s stamina and improve Lola’s chances of conceiving, he easily calculated that it would not be long anymore before he got a great-grandchild from these two and won the bet which he had struck with the sly Old Boyd.“Grandfather...” Noah called out through gritted teeth. “I have no problem with my stamina. I don’t need to use the tonics.” “Hehe.” The old man chuckled as he heard his grandson’s words. “I do not doubt that.” He agreed and then continued. “You are a true Sanchez born after al

Then they simultaneously stared at the woman in the vehicle’s back seat through the rear view mirror.Her hazel-colored eyes remained glued to the backseat window while her fingers kept tapping on her lap nervousl
After Jane left the room, Lola could hardly sleep. The hospital’s director had arranged for a private room with double comfortable beds for both Noah and Lola according to Grandfather Sanchez’s request. Lola lay on the bed, turning around restlessly for a while before changing her mind and climbing down from the bed. She slipped her two dainty feet into the fur slippers that Jane had brought for her then walked over to sit on the couch placed close to Noah’s bed. The man was still asleep, probably due to the anesthesia which was administered to him to treat the injuries.On a closer look at Noah’s sleeping form, his face was rather peaceful and Lola wondered with envy about how a man’s eyelashes could be so long and beautiful. Her hands reached over and gently brushed his hair which had fallen again, away from his face. Then she sat with her back against the couch, watching him... Flash Back.Seven and half years ago...Rosewoods High School.“Is he the transfer student?.”“He has
Aria stood in front of the hospital staring at the picture on her phone for a long while, wondering if she should go ahead with what she had planned to do or not. The reporters who were stopping and questioning the people walking out from the City hospital eventually noticed her standing at a point. The head reporter who had seen Aria tapped another reporter on the shoulder. “Go question that lady over there.” He said while nodding his head in Aria’s direction.The junior reporter understood and hurried over to Aria at once. “Good morning miss.” He greeted.At the sudden voice, Aria looked up from the phone to see the person who had approached her, It was a young man in his late twenties with deep Asian eyes. She stared at the man’s tag which showed that he was a reporter then composed herself before returning his greetings. “Good morning.”“I’m Wen Smith.. from City Scoop. Are you here to visit a friend?.” The Chinese-American reporter introduced with a polite smile while trying to s
A few days passed in a jiffy with Lola spending most of her time in the hospital taking care of Noah religiously. She had taken note of his routines, and drug dosage and even learned how to change the bandages for his injuries.Though Noah’s wounds were still painful, the pain had reduced compared to how much pain he had endured in the first few days. Now, he could move his arms freely, sit up straight for a while, and even lie down on his side.The doctor in charge of Noah’s treatment was very happy with the progress of his recovery and after almost nine days had passed, Noah was finally given the discharge slip and instructed to rest properly at home for another two weeks at least before resuming at the company.Noah watched as Lola and Jane packed up the rest of the belongings they had gathered during their stay at the hospital. “Here, you can take these directly to the house.” He heard Lola say as she handed the box over to Jane. Lola was dressed in a red woolen sweater and blue
“It’s time for breakfast, Madam. Master Noah is already seated in the dining room.” Hannah announced the moment she walked into Lola’s bedroom. The maid was putting on a flower-patterned cotton apron as she had helped to prepare the food in the kitchen. Her heart-shaped face was cheerful as always making Lola wonder how exactly she managed to keep up that expression. “Alright. I will be out soon, thank you.” Lola said and slammed down the cover of the novel she had been reading since the early hours of the morning. The day after Noah had told her that he hated her and no longer needed her assistance, he had sent out word to the ancestral mansion for Grandfather Sanchez to send one of the family’s chefs over to the penthouse along with Hannah, Lola’s previous maid. Therefore, Lola no longer needed to cook for the both of them and ate whatever meal the chef prepared instead. Which was a good idea, less work to do. When Lola arrived at the dining room, her eyes fell on the indifferen
“Aria?. Someone’s at the door!.” Lola screamed from inside her bedroom while she hurriedly put on her outfit for an outdoor dinner date with Aria for the night.She heard the door open and hummed a slow tune as she applied her lip gloss to her lips.“Uhm.. Lola?.” Aria called out from the hallway then the bedroom door opened. “Yeah?.”“You have a package,” Aria announced as she brought in a box with a bouquet of red roses. “Were you expecting any?.. see? came with roses.” Aria stated suspiciously.Lola looked up from the mirror surprised. “No, I wasn’t. Does it say who it is from?.” She asked as she stood up to receive the roses. She checked for a note but did not see any.“What’s in the box?.” Lola asked and Aria shrugged. “Did not see. Let’s check it out.” She said and together they opened it up. Inside the box was a beautiful short black evening gown, brand new from Adorn. Wow.” Aria gasped as Lola brought out the simple but beautiful dress while Lola’s eyes dimmed as she wondered
Lola emerged from a cab in front of Infinity Apartments and rubbed her upper arms at the sudden chill. It was late but a few of the tenants were still hanging around the reception area. In the brightness of the lighted-up hall, Lola donned a chic black dress that hugged her sexy hourglass figure and highlighted her wild red hair perfectly making heads turn as she walked. Apart from Lexi’s voice which welcomed as she walked through the steel door, the penthouse was silent.‘Were they asleep already?.’ Lola wondered as she closed the door behind her.She had deliberately stayed out longer than she usually did to avoid coming across Noah or Bianca. There was a sudden sound of a hand clap and then the lights came on. Lola noticed Noah standing by the aquarium. He was wearing a sleeveless black T-shirt with joggers, which made him appear even more gloomy and cold. He stood staring in her direction with a bottle of wine in his hand, seeing the bottle he held made Lola frown.‘Had he been
