The door was locked and Hailey could hear the clattering of objects on the ground and against the wall.It was pointless knocking,Edward was in a fit of rage and so was she but she needed answers.She walked hastily back to her room to get the spare keys which she found after a thorough search.However as she was about to leave,a white slip was thrown to the ground by the wind.It was similar to that of Edward's.Her heart skipped a beat as she lowered and picked up the piece of paper.Behold,it was the exact same handwriting.Momentarily forgetting about her aim,Hailey settled on her bedside where she calmly read the content in tears."I knew a day like this would come,I dreaded it so much yet I couldn't stop it.I know millions of questions are running through your mind Mrs Collins.Questions that even I do not have an answer to.The times I spent with you is a thing I would never forget.It was like nature's compensation to me for seperating my mother and I.There were times I wished you w
Jamie was in labor for fifteen hours straight and she still wasn't out.Jake was losing it and although he could hear the intense pain and screams coming from the theatre he felt no remorse for the pain he'd put Jamie through.The Bryans had rushed in earlier and demanded to know what happened.When they arrived back at the house they were welcomed by traces of blood and they needed no one to tell them Jamie was in danger.Jake simply said she went into labor but Mrs Bryan who had steadily kept track of the pregnancy knew the due date wasn't anytime soon.It was supposed to be next month which was only a week away and she thought it should be the reason for her prolonged labor.Two hours later,Jake lost it.He began to bang at the theatre door but wasn't responded too.He grabbed the first nurse that came out with bloody tissues and gloves of about twenty in number."What is going on?! She's been in there for seventeen hours straight screaming and y'all ain't doing nothing about it! Tell m
"Mr Bryan! That's enough. Security!" the doctor had to scream for help when Jake began to hit the wall in a fit of rage and he couldn't stop him.The security managed to hold him down until he was a bit calm.A nurse came to attend to his wounds but he refused to stay calm."Mr Bryan,I need you to stay calm.Your wife is in terrible pains and you being hysterical is not helping matters""I..I need to see her." said Jake "Please let me see her""I was going to spare you a minute with her before the operation but you cannot go in there in your present state""Fine..fine I will get my wounds treated immediately." "It's not just about getting your wounds treated,Mr Bryan.One of our methods in keeping patients calm and hopeful is assuring them they'll be fine however our expressions must imply what our words does.""Right now, you're in the worse position to see your pregnant wife.She might register the fear on your face as something is already wrong which might conquer the will left in her
Mr and Mrs Bryan arrived at the hospital by noon.They were overjoyed and couldn't stop staring at the little handsome creature sleeping soundly in the crib.Mrs Bryan couldn't contain her excitement.She had gone to a stall to get the things little Jake would need.She had shopped even the most unnecessary items and left them by the side of the bed.Jake approached his adoptive parents but they ignored him and didn't talk to him.It was dusk yet Jamie was still asleep.Mrs Bryan wondered if she's okay but the doctor assured that she is and the rest is necessary.However,little Jake awoke from time to time.So quiet was here that Mrs Bryan concluded he took after his grandfather because neither Jamie nor Jake is quiet.The baby's eyes were a darker shade of grey and although there was but little strands of hair on his head,Mrs Bryan was glad that it resembled Jamie's auburn hair.At least,Jamie was not cheated because the baby looked exactly like Jake when he was young.Soon the baby fell as
Beverly Louis was called by the Don's personal assistant.He told Beverly that before the Don's unconsciousness he'd wanted her to go to the accessory shop to get the size of her wedding gown.Beverly tried to talk the stern looking man out of it however he wasn't having any of it.Unlike Mike,he seemed to be a loyal henchman.Quietly she got into the car after assuring her mother she'd be fine.She was surprised when Mike entered the car with her.He pretended he didn't know her and Beverly understood he didn't want to give anything away.Still she was curious.She couldn't help but wonder what his motive is in this place.Of course he didn't rescue her because he wanted to put himself in danger.He had a reason and Beverly vowed to get him to confess.Left alone with him,she didn't know whether to start talking or not nor did she know whether the Don's bodyguard were at a hearing distance plus she couldn't risk it.The terrible feeling came over her again and she clasped at her belly drawi
While Stephanie was in a bad mood,getting close to realizing everything she'd lost Ryan returned that evening pretending to be remorse."What are you doing here?" said Stephanie rudely"I'm sorry,babe" he pulled her into a hug "Please forgive me.I didn't mean all I said,I was..I was mad because I thought Edward had succeeded in taking you away from me"Her heart flooded with relief as she heard those words.Just a while ago,she had been thinking of killing herself.She could never bear it if Ryan leaves her."Asides getting revenge,you matter the most to me.You know how hard I fought for you, Stephanie " he held her hand "You're wrong saying I'd taken advantage of the fact I'd met you in your most vulnerable state.""I didn't " he faked his tears "I really love you ,Stephanie and I am afraid of showing it.You know Edward,he can decide to use you against me..and ..and God knows I..I don't know what to do should that-""Shush.." she interrupted him while wiping his tears "Edward would nev
Hailey Collins fainted.Edward was the first to get to her and instead of the reporters rendering assistance they preferred to make use of their cameras.Edward carried his mother and strode into the car along with the driver who didn't need to be told.They rushed to the hospital immediately leaving Stephanie behind who busied herself with getting familiar with her previous home.Her flare turned to new fueled fury as she went around the whole house.She was glad she didn't give up.In fact she believed that Ryan truly loves her because he didn't give up on her.She warned herself to be more focused on this new plan of theirs because, according to Ryan,there were so close that he could perceive it.She stopped in front of the room she and Edward once shared which has now become his and Diana's.Anger dwelt in her and she swore to make Diana pay."Dared to break the deal,huh?" she hissed "You will regret it for the rest of your miserable life!"She called the servants who had gathered in t
Jake returned to the hospital the next morning,he came neatly dressed and had high hopes of seeing Jamie and his baby.It was early in the morning and he found his parents sleeping soundly on the large couch.The nurses passing by smiled at him and he greeted them in return.He opened the door quietly and a smile already formed on his lips.He was happy.However when he walked towards the bed there was no one but rumpled sheets and the duvet hanged over the bed.The smile dissipated and he forced himself to believe she was probably in the bath but when he peeked in the crib his son was missing too.He rushed to the bath and forced the door open.It was empty and it didn't look like anyone used it."No.." he whimpered,fear consuming him.He left the room and his panic-stricken voice jerked his parents awake."Dad..mom, where's..where's Jamie? She's not in there and..and my son isn't in his crib!"Mrs Bryan jerked up immediately followed by a sleepy Mr Bryan.They rushed into the room and fou
