Jamie was surprised.Compared to the Rolls Royce that picked her up from the snow,the house he lived in was really small.It gave him away as bachelor.Although it was nearly arranged,there was no designs of any sort.It made her wonder if there'd be an available room for her.When Mr Bryan gave her the number she thought it was the number of a very respectful friend of his .Someone older and matured.However she rolled her eyes at the young handsome man who had been poking her nerves through the drive about how lazy she would have been and reason why her son did not take any of her features.He showed her to a very large room that had everything she needs except the kitchen of course.She stopped midway."Where would you stay?""Don't be worried about me,little birdy""Don't call me that." she rolled her eyes having said that a million times before then."Take a shower and get down for dinner,birdy.""You-" he closed the door on her face.Her son was sleeping soundly so she placed him on
"Let's go to the hospital already!" said Layla as she pulled Beverly out of bed "Mom,no!" she yanked her wrist from her mother's grip, afterwards she lowered dizzily on the bed "I said nothing's wrong with me.""How could you say that?! You've been puking the acid from your belly,Beverly! Your face looks white and pale anyone could guess you don't look fine!""You haven't had anything to eat since yesterday!" Layla ranted,her voice full of worry "Because you can't stand the smell of food! How long will you continue this way?""It won't persist for long." claimed Beverly "I just need to rest and I'll be fine.""No? You've been saying that for the past three days but the situation keeps exacerbating." she heaved a sigh "Listen to me this once, please?""We cannot go to the hospital, mother.You know how news fly around here.."Layla looked at her closely ,then remarked"You're sick, that's it right?" she sat down beside her "It's nothing more than that, right?"Beverly kept mute."Answe
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
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
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
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
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
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
