Hailey's eyes glistened with tears as she arrived at the close of the letter.Nothing made sense to her and she remained dumbstruck,unable to speak.Henry's hand dropped languidly by his sides as he adjusted the glasses that rested on the bridge of his knows.His eyes darted to Edward that had thin lines of tears falling from his eyes."You've a very detailed explanation to do,son.First of all, who's Diana?"Edward glanced at his father.His eyes said a million things yet his lips did not move an inch.His long legs pulled back and began to climb up the stairs as silently as he came."Well??" Henry turned to Hailey who still hadn't moved an inch from her spot "What do you have to say now,dear?""You complain that I never share anything with you,that I'm always away." he chuckled "I'm an old man,Hailey and I know Edward more than you ever will because he is more of my son than yours.We share same characteristics." he spoke gently as if letting the words to sink in."I know whenever he's got
Stephanie was not only grief stricken.She was reflective on her past.She thought deeply on Edward's words and she saw that she had already lost the battle.It was early the next morning,when she felt more sober and realized what had happened yesterday.She had spilled the beans and ruined everything with her own hands.She ran her hands through her hair.Stephanie didn't know what it felt like to be heartbroken.Although she could tell it was an immense pain considering the forlorn look she'd seen in Diana's eyes from time to time.Yes,she is after Edward's property but thinking about it she seems to have more than enough.Well,the truth really is that she wanted revenge and Ryan wanted the property which he thinks is rightfully his.For a while,Stephanie wondered if Ryan loves her truly.She couldn't say yes nor could she say no.Her heart squeezed at the thought of finding out he'd been using her all along.A knock interrupted her thought and she jumped out of the couch,startled."Hey, it'
Beverly Louis stepped out of the hot bath an hour later and she didn't expect to find her mother waiting patiently for her.It's been two days since she began living with the Don and he was already making preparations for their wedding.Beverly didn't mind.She was done fighting."Beverly," Layla called in a whisper"Is there a problem mother?" Beverly asked as she began to apply cream on her skin.She grabbed her nightgown."Not really," Layla said as she sat on the bed,relaxed "I..I just can't stop thinking about your father""He's not worth it,mum." Beverly hissed "Forget about him.I am sure he's living the life he dreamed of after abandoning us""Your...your father is dead,Bev"Beverly stopped for a moment,she opened her lips to say something but quickly thought against it."The D-don killed him." Layla finished as her eyes filled with tears "I wish Gabriel had realized this on time.." her voice trailed away as she gradually sank into nostalgia.She kept on talking about their teenag
He left almost immediately,avoiding another dire question.Beverly ran speedily back to her room and she didn't forget to put his advice to use.She locked the door behind multiple times and finally she began to breathe normally again.However,she was up for the rest of the night.Thinking about the audacity of Mike.He literally rendered the Don unconscious and Beverly didn't know if she really saw the anger on his face as he did it or perhaps she imagined.Was he here for a motive? Does he also hate the Don as much as she does? It was another mystery why he was the only one able to hear her screams.Or perhaps others did and didn't want to interfere thereby causing more problems for themselves.Somehow, Beverly felt a regenerated hope surge within her knowing that she had a friend here.Friend in the sense that he also hates the Don.She feared for him though.It was almost dawn and if the Don happens to wake up soon,he might kill him on the spot.What could she do to repay him the favor?
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
