Be Careful With My Heart You're Pregnant?
It was snowing heavily when Mike and Beverly sneaked out of the mansion.The night was silent and windy and the cold made Beverly's lips a bit purple.She trudged along until they passed the main gate.However as they were about turning out of sight,a voice stopped them."Hey! Freeze!" the silence of the night was broken by the click of his gun.Fear raided Beverly's being as she stood her back towards the unknown voice.She had pulled on a hoody and applied a very ridiculous make-up so no one would recognize her."Turn around!" he ordered them. "Are you deaf?!" he barked.Mike nodded towards Beverly and together they turned around very slowly."Look at me!" he demanded "I'll blow your heads off if you make me repeat myself!" he replied angrily.The distance between them was only three meters apart and the gun was a rifle.Mike had a plan at the back of his head.He took two steps towards the man who had his gun cocked shoulder high."Stand back!"Mike raised his hoody and although the ma
Be Careful With My Heart Not until my last breath
Diana had booked a hotel on her arrival at Greece.With the little money she'd wiled from Stephanie she hoped to get a little house for herself and unborn kids.After a refreshing shower,she breathed a sigh of relief.In truth,she had never felt this free and perhaps happy.In years,she felt that she'd not made a more better decision.Her mind wandered to the state of things back at Chicago.Perhaps Hailey and Henry have filed a search warrant against her.Although,her and Mrs Collins shared a great bond it was difficult to believe that the woman would forgive Diana of her actions.She had deceived her and ran away with her grandchildren-the only thing she'd wished for.As for Stephanie,her plan was now completely ruined.But knowing her,Diana fathomed she'd come up with something almost immediately.Diana would love to keep abreast of the things happening in Chicago however,she wanted nothing to do with that chapter of her life anymore.Her journey to Greece signified cutting ties with ever
Be Careful With My Heart Behind bars
Edward did not return to the mansion and was not at the hospital either.Stephanie confirmed this from a nurse.Since her return to the Collins' mansion,Edward had not stepped foot into the house.Was he avoiding her? She decided to come to the hospital to search for him but the nurse told her he wasn't there and had left after he was assured Hailey was okay.Stephanie thought of leaving but she saw Hailey sitting comfortably in the VIP ward and obviously deep in thoughts.Instinctively recollecting all the harsh treatment she had suffered in the hands of Hailey, she stepped into the room with her heels interrupting Hailey's thought.The latter lifted her head and her countenance naturally turned dark upon seeing her but she said nothing.Stephanie was dressed in an exquisite and quite expensive high low gown that was yellow in color adding warmness and brightness to her.She stopped by the foot of the bed,and stared down at the frail Hailey Collins."Sad, " she smirked "Who would think t
Be Careful With My Heart I Always Will
Diana couldn't sleep.She didn't know if it was guilt eating her up or simply because she was overthinking things.Hailey's frail body fainting and falling in Edwards' arms kept on replaying in her mind.She finally sat up on bed by dawn and walked up to the table for a glass of water.She wondered how Hailey was doing. She toppled unto the comfy couch, her eyes shimmering with tears and loneliness in her bitter heart.Did she do the wrong thing? Hailey would probably hate her now. And to make it all worse she wouldn't be around to defend herself against Stephanie's vile claims and lies. Even if she decides to return to Chicago, would anyone believe her? Lilian is dead and no one knows of Stephanie's threat to her life. She was in a dilemma and a very bad one.Her eyes fell on the TV remote lying on the table with shaky hands she picked it up and switched the TV on.A loud noise erupted from the plasma, some shouting others cooing and throwing flowers at the stage.Practically half the wh
Be Careful With My Heart My Responsibility
Jamie found herself zoning out completely. She still found it difficult to believe what she had seen on TV.Constantly, her mind flashed back to the many times Jake had made assertions about Diana being Stephanie.It was hard to believe because somehow, Jamie couldn't believe Diana would do such a thing. They've known each other since childhood and although they had their differences Jamie would always point out Diana's personality.It was everywhere in the news, at restaurants, casinos, pubs, and even companies. Diana had made a fame for herself.And even now as Jamie waited for Milton who was shopping things for her son, the TV outside was blaring loudly with shouts and choruses. Edward had come to say something at last and to Jamie's surprise it wasn't exactly what everyone expected.The ladies seated some metres away from her began to speak at the end of Edward's interview,"Diana didn't only impersonate Stephanie, she poisoned her husband's mind against her and sadly, Edward Colli
Be Careful With My Heart Daddy's coming
While Jamie managed to put her crying son to sleep, Milton packed the accessories from his car into the house. Jamie quietly left the room in order not to wake her son up and stopped abruptly by the stairway watching Milton bring in the things he shopped.Jamie was instantly moved to tears. She hadn't agreed for him to do this but he didn't mind and now all alone he was moving them into the house. From the crib to the massive clothes and shoes and socks, no one would ever think they weren't his family. Earlier today, he even called her baby his son and stood up for them. She wiped her tears as she thought Jake should have been the one doing this. They would have been a happy and perfect family. Jamie was scared. She knew that she wouldn't stay with Milton for long and she had no plans whatsoever. She scolded herself for getting too comfortable and forgetting that she was still in Chicago. Anybody can recognize her and inform Jake and the last thing Jamie wanted was to cause trouble fo
Be Careful With My Heart I wouldn't have met you
Mike was surprised yet hurt."You.. you're pregnant?" He saw her eyes cloud up with tears and then without a word she rushed out of the building and onto the streets."Beverly!" he called her name for the first time but she didn't stop she kept running and consequently didn't look before crossing the streets.Fortunately his training skills over the months came to use and he caught up with her at the nick of time. He pulled her forward causing both of them to fall backward and with her pregnancy in mind, he shielded her by making her fall on him instead.The blaring horns of the car died down and sped past them.Beverly got up on her feet, feeling slightly dizzy. Mike did not fail to put his arms around her however she tried to yank it off but he held her tightly."What are you doing?" her voice broke. "Let go off me right now!""Will you listen to me?!" he raised her voice at her making her keep quiet and stare at him that instant "You could have gotten run over a while ago!"Beverly
Be Careful With My Heart It's Yours
Beverly was basking in her sweet dreams but for some reason, her eyes caught the shadow of someone hovering over her. Her eyes flickered open but immediately shut when the sun's rays threatened her eyes. It made her all the more conscious because she had shut her curtains and even the windows. She turned the other way and opened her eyes slowly to the evil grin on the Don's face.She screamed and tried to jump off her bed but he grabbed her throat and slammed her head on the headboard,choking her."Let go.." she said while trying to push him off her but he didn't budge. He seemed to be enjoying hurting her as he exerted more force on her neck and it wasn't until she began to choke did he let her go.He pulled her by her hair,"Did you miss me, my love?" he sneered "Well, I missed you and I would like to finish what I started.""No,no..let me go you monster! Get off me!" cried Beverly as she drew closer to him and bit him with all of her strength causing blood to seep from his hand.H

Be Careful With My Heart Will you marry me?
Hailey showed equal surprise. But more than that she was happy and grateful. She had little hope of seeing Diana and also her grandchildren. As she came and stood in front of her, Diana had no idea what to do. She wondered whether to apologize. She didn't know what to expect because during her stay at the mansion, her and Hailey were close enough to pass for mother and daughter. Since she has been away for few months it was only natural to jump into her mother's arms and hug her tightly.Edward kissed her forehead and whispered, "It's the surprise" and then he left them. After a moment of silence, Diana parted her lips and spoke with her head lowered, "I..I don't know if I still have the privilege to call you mother." she lifted her head with tears in her eyes.

"The last floor." she further described and Edward raced towards the elevator.Since Hailey and Henry were not up to his pace, they were left out of the elevator.Edward's heart was jumping in anxiety. Alone in the elevator he could hear his heart beat racing rapidly. If Stephanie hadn't been around and willing to help...his thought trailed off. He blamed himself for not being frequent with the due date. He was completely occupied and didn't want to show Diana and his unborn kids to the public yet. However,He stepped out of the elevator and picked up a steady race. Luckily, his eagle eyes spotted Stephanie afar off. When he got there, she approached him totally panic-stricken."Where is she?"

It was a month after his death and Edward was recovering very quickly.Despite Diana's insistence for him to rest he refused and really wanted to organize a large funeral ceremony for Ryan."Edward, is that necessary?" had been Diana's reply."Yes, babe." he answered "I know he doesn't deserve it but still we're brothers and I acknowledge that. Things only went awry, and I still wish he had just humbled himself. We would have made the perfect duo.""But Stephanie-" Diana had said "She's refused to speak to anyone."Edward pulled out his phone, "She'll be fine." he said and then proceeded to make a call through when Stephanie had stepped into the room."No need for that," Edward and Diana turned to look at her."I want a peaceful funeral." she sniffed "Just me and him."Edward stepped forward, "I understand if you want a peaceful funeral but you're keeping us from att
