Be Careful With My Heart The Truth
Stephanie had gotten the Don to give her what she asked for before letting him collapse on the bed.She walked into the bath and cleaned herself up, although her legs wobbled unsteadily."Stupid Don," she cursed as she shut the bathroom door with a loud thud. She came out thirty minutes later and got dressed as fast as she could. However, her phone began to ring very loudly."Shut that thing up and get out of here," the Don groaned in his sleep.Stephanie immediately took her phone and stepped out of the room. It was Ryan. Her heart leaped as she answered the call."Stephanie!" he screamed into the phone "Thank you very much!"She didn't understand, "What are you saying, Ryan? Are you alright?" The sound of racing cars and bullets firing into the air answered her question and made her gasp."This is thanks to you, Steph." he repeated"I'm very sorry, Ryan. I didn't mean to-""Just shut up," he ordered "I don't know who's going to make it out alive here and even if I die, either Edwar

"Mother, mother.." Beverly called out the moment she set her eyes on her mother whom she'd been looking for few minutes ago.She held her arm, "Mum, come with me immediately.""Beverly, I'm busy-" she paid no attention as she continued to give orders to the maids on how things should be arranged. "Mom it's important!!" Beverly yelled and then Layla stared at her. She saw that Beverly was serious so she placed a head maid in charge and followed her daughter upstairs.Beverly banged the door closed."Beverly, what is it?""Mrs Anderson just received a letter from a doctor.""And so?" Layla didn't seem to understand"Mum, what if she took samples from my child to give to the doctor when I was unconscious??""That is not possible. I was here with you the whole time."Beverly shook her head "I remember that the man knocked me unconscious. God knows what would have happened before you came in. Besides, the attack this time was not to rape me. If not I wouldn't have been knocked unconscious.
Be Careful With My Heart Keeping his word.
They raced crazily from the beach to the lone streets of France. Since it was still early in the morning, only few cars were on the road but the men in battle didn't care.Edward was hot on Ryan's trail. He did not stop shooting at his car but he was careful not to hit the screens because of Diana. Still, Ryan did not stop. He shot at Edward's car mercilessly and although he was lucky to have missed the bullets, the windscreen of his car was beyond damage.As the car trail became heated, Edward managed to swerve to the left where he hit the acceleration and drove up to Ryan's car. The latter gave him a deadly look."You're gonna die!" he screamed at him but Edward was looking at someone else. Diana had lifted her eyes to the window when she heard Ryan cursing. Her eyes glimmered when she saw Edward. Her heart began to beat rapidly. It seemed that she never stopped loving him because the surge of feelings was unexplainable. She smiled but the car was slowly drifting away as did her smi

He gazed at the air helplessly.Mrs Williams sat beside her son. "I know you're old enough to decide for yourself but sometimes your parents need to advice you because they know what is best.""Mum, if you're here to try and talk me out of this, just leave. I'm not about to make anyone understand me anymore. I'm done playing the good son. I want Jamie. I'm in love with her. If you and dad cannot understand that then it's okay.""The woman you love is married to someone else. She has a son. Do you want to get married to a divorcee? At least think about your father's image.""Dad has created his image, that's true but it's not my duty to carry it and live up
Be Careful With My Heart Mother
The way he pounded into her brought tears down her face. Even her screams did not make him show her any mercy. Jamie wondered how she came to love such a man. She was becoming weak and unable to struggle any further. Only hot tears poured down her face. Her whole body had turned beet red and his imprints were all over her. Jamie gave up.

Her eyes glistened with tears. It was Milton. Without wasting anymore time
Be Careful With My Heart Your end has come
Mike had gathered his friends. People who, like him, were here for a common goal. People who had lost a loved one to the hungry Don."There's no better time than now." Mike spoke "Now's the time we re-take our aim. Don't let anything stop you.""We're no longer slaves." Mike needed to say no more. The academy where he was sent to was destroyed in less than thirty minutes. All of Don Anderson's henchmen who wouldn't join Mike's trope were taken down. One by one, all of the properties owned by the Don were destroyed.Mike was on his way to the mansion along with his trope, "I'm coming, Beverly."...."Impotent??" Layla repeated in disbelief. Beverly held her mother's hand. This was the end of their pretence.Mrs Anderson turned to her son in tears. She withdrew another white envelope and gave it to him."It's.. it's true." she cried "All I wanted was an heir and a grandchild and that is the only reason I kept forcing you. However, when...when I realized it wasn't working I decided to t
Be Careful With My Heart A conflicted heart
The Don stepped forward,"Mike?" his eyes held an unbelievable glint "What...what is this?""What does this look like?!""Why are you doing this? I trusted you, Mike. I always adored you. In fact, I placed you second in command. Just tell me why you are doing this?"Mike closed the distance between them and said with tears in his eyes, "You killed my fiancee. You plotted with Stephanie and killed the only woman I love.""Mike...maybe you're mistaken. I..""Mistaken? I saw it with my own eyes. You organized a stupid miss world party. You misled her and the other greedy young girls. After rendering her unconscious, you placed her in you booth and drove her away.""Mike," the Don's eyes filled with tears. He didn't think he'd ever cried so much in just one day before. The betrayal was unexpected and from people he cherished the most. "I'm sorry. I didn't know she meant a lot to you, I was just doing my job.""And I will do my job now also," Mike replied "You have killed so many people un

"What is this?" Beverly pulled the gun from his grip "You are not this person.""Give the gun back, Beverly." he ignored her "He killed my girlfriend.""There wouldn't be a difference between you two if you kill him as well. Please don't do this! You aren't the only one who lost someone dear, Mike and if they all decide to kill the Don how many times would he die?? He's got only one life."Mike squeezed his fist as his body trembled. Beverly placed a hand on his shoulder."I'm sorry about your girlfriend but killing the Don is not getting your revenge. You have been here for months, Mike. Your only aim was to stop the Don's atrocities and you have done that. You have also taken away his reason to live because you have destroyed everything that mattered to him.""You have had your revenge Mike, the best thing is to let him live in his guilt. Don't give him an easy passage to hell."Mike now understood because as much as he hated to admit it, Beverly had a point. He turned to look at hi
