Just then..... “What the...............” We heard Hudson gasping for breath as he first dropped the package that he was holding and caught his Sister with what were the reflexes of long practice, pulling her to him with obvious fierce affection and at the same time peering over her head at me. “What's she doing here?” he demanded asking if I had planned the whole thing. “You are asking me? How do I know this is the first time I've come to your house.” I wrote it on the pad hurriedly. He moved Ellen away from him to look down into her eyes “What's going on Ellen?” he said and I was once more caught by the mixture of love and exasperation in his voice. “I need you to talk to Daddy,” Ellen said clearly. " Please!” Hudson’s face hardened. He opened his mouth, but then his gaze flicked towards me and he grimly shut it again. I think I'll just go home, as Jayden must be waiting for me, “I wrote hurriedly, grabbing my bag. “Oh, but you can stay…” Ellen started speaking. But I was alr
I woke up and realized it had grown dark outside and looked at the time it was six in the evening. I put my arm to touch him and felt the space next to me. I quickly got up and looked around. draping the sheet around me, I rushed down the hallway and looked for him. Empty. So was the bathroom. In a panic I went out and stopped outside the kitchen, a smile edging across my face. I watched him as he pulled a Cup of coffee and then return to cracking eggs in a bowl, to which he then added some oregano. I stood there, the smell of onion reaching my nostrils. Hudson was fully dressed, his hair was stamped from the shower. As he returned to pull open the refrigerator door, he saw me. I clutched the sheet a little tighter around me. As I had run in panic with nothing on and was feeling a little shy. Hudson looked at me lovingly and asked. "Are you hungry Callie?” I nodded my head because my stomach was grumbling. “I thought I should le
The next day started with a lot of issues, as early in the morning Jayden received a call from his manager from Budapest that something had happened in the company and he had to take the early morning flight but he promised me that he would be back the next day but I doubted it. I sat ideally at home but found it creepy because of the incident that happened the previous day. I was trying to busy myself with work when I received a text from Hudson. I smiled and checked it. “Callie, I need you to do me a favour. Can you please come home? Don’t ask me what it is as I can’t explain.” “Okay.” I wrote it and sent the message. I was wondering what was so urgent but didn’t give it a second thought and got dressed hurriedly before scooting out of the house. My heart was beating fast. The driver drove the car very smoothly and I reached Hudson’s apartment within fifteen minutes and was seated on the couch opposite to him and Ellen. I had not expected that Ellen would cry but she was cry
After sometime........................ As I lay savouring the taste of the weight of the man I loved, as he rested on top of me, I felt a pricking of tears and ran my fingers through his hair.I lost my parents when I was small and Hudson had his father but couldn’t communicate with him. But I was happy that I had him back with me again. I ran my fingers lightly over his back, traced the ridge of his spine, then curved my hand against the back of his neck and brushed my fingers against his neck, loving him.He made a soft sound against my ear and shifted slightly. “Am I too heavy, darling?”I shook my head vigorously, letting him know that, he was not that heavy and I was loving the way I was holding him.He turned his head and I could see the curve of his smile in the moonlight that spilled through the window. “ I think I am,” he said and effortlessly rolled us over, so that now I lay on top of him, though still wrapped in his arms.I lifted my head to look down at him, then quickl
Everyone except for me as I was twisting my head to catch a glimpse of Hudson, who was wearing a white shirt and tuxedo jacket and looked extremely handsome but to my surprise, another man was walking Ellen down the aisle. The bride was absolutely radiant beaming and looked at everyone, from side to side, as she walked down her towards her waiting groom and the man was smiling happily and looking at her dotingly as if he had the right to be there, in a way I supposed had full right. I knew exactly who he was. It was none other than Hudson’s father, Leo Ford, the man who had given her life. He was her father in name. But who had never been there for her every single day? I looked around desperately for Hudson. Where was he? As I couldn’t see him anywhere. It wasn’t Leo Ford’s right to give away Ellen! I was outraged. How can he be so selfish, coming out of nowhere? But the most important thing was, there was Hudson. I should have been watching the service but I barely noticed that
Callie’s POV“Thank you for dancing with me Callie,” Leo whispered in my ears.And I looked at him sharply, wondering how he knew my name.As no one had introduced me formally to him.I looked at him and gestured that I couldn’t speak and he smiled.“Yes Callie, I know you can’t speak but you are such a beautiful woman. No wonder my son is hooked to you.”I just stared at him helplessly not knowing what to say.“You must be wondering, why I cut in between you and my son, well, I will explain. I know who you are and have a brief idea of your family history and not to tell, that you are a very talented architect. I am very happy that you are the reason for my son’s happiness but Callie, you are also bringing him trouble.”I was shocked and gestured to him to explain, as I was confused why the hell was he telling me all these and when have I brou
Hudson POVHudson had finished smoking and was going back towards the dance floor, where he had left Callie but when he reached there he couldn’t find her and when he observed carefully, even his father was nowhere to be found. He clenched his fist and walked started looking for Callie. When Ellen saw her brother looking for someone, very desperately. She smiled wickedly and knew who the person was and rushed towards him.“Hudson, are you looking for Callie ?” Ellen grinned wickedly. “Ellen not now!” Hudson exclaimed. “What is with you two are you guys playing hide and seek, she was just looking for you and I told her I saw you going inside the hotel and now you are searching for her. Seriously you two love birds are too much.” Ellen said and punched his shoulder muscles. “What? And when did that happen?” He asked irritated. “Just ten minutes ago……….” And before she could explain Hudson walked past her towards the hotel entrance. Ellen grinned mischievously held her husband’s han
Callie POV As if I was waiting for his call, I got up abruptly and looked at him, wondering if I was dreaming and then looked towards my brother, who was standing close behind Hudson. I was trembling with fear and my body was shaking. I couldn't move and tears were rolling down my cheeks. Hudson took me in his arms and held me tightly and I felt so secure. I was crying miserably as if I had not cried for a long time and after a while Jayden said. “Callie sweetheart, we will be going back home to Budapest, I am shutting down the project. You don’t have to be scared, I have already lost Mom and Dad, can’t lose you.” Suddenly I couldn’t take it any longer and opened my mouth and whispered. “Jayden.” Hudson and Jayden were shocked and so Scarlett. Did Callie actually speak? “Callie !” Jayden exclaimed and walked towards her, with tears in his eyes.“Jayden, we can’t go back the man who killed our parents was the one who tried to kill the women at the hotel!” Callie exclaimed in on
I was eating the porridge brought by hooligans, who were pointing a gun at me and making me eat. I was not scared but felt disgusted at the way they were behaving. I was wondering how long will it take for Hudson to track me. I wanted to delay whatever they were planning, so I cooperated with them and was eating my dinner without any appetite.“You should listen to us or we will kill your brother as well as your lover.” One of them spoke very rudely. I just glared at him. “It’s a pity that Ale has his eyes on you or I would have kept you for myself, after all, you are Emily Clarke’s daughter and it would be an honour to possess your beautiful body. And it would be so much fun as you won’t even object.” The other one mocked me. He then touched my face and I flinched and tried to dodge away. “You are too feisty, no wonder Ale is all over you, just like your mother. Anyways such a pity, you will be his slave from now on and right under your lover’s eyes but he will not be able to do a
They were all seated around Scarlett was busy reading the emails, which was sent by Callie and Hudson, Jayden and Kay were listening to her. Every email she read made them more and more nervous as it explained each and every situation Emily Clarke had gone through during the last days of her life. Jayden eyes had turned red. He was old enough to know the loss of his parents but when he came to how they were killed his body trembled. It was eight in the evening and still they were unable to find clues but they knew the suspected people so they had already started to track them. The main characters were Jordan Brooke , Henry Adams, Joey Gilbert and Ray Reynolds.Hudson was busy reading along with Jayden and his cell phone started ringing, he saw that it was from Logan, so he picked it up immediately. “Mr. Brown where are you?” Hudson asked quickly and. He was scared that something had happened to him. He saw Jayden was looking at him with confusi
The Red light in the operation theatre was turned off and the doctor came out and looked at the people waiting anxiously. Steffanie got up from her seat and looked came forward towards the doctor. “How is Wanda, doctor?” The doctor shook his hand and spoke. “She is stable, now. The good thing is she had some reaction before blacking out. So, we think she will awake soon. But I am warning you not to pressurize her or she might go back to sleep again. She needs a lot of rest and less stress.” Steffanie grabbed his hand and thanked him and the doctor just smiled and patted her back and went ahead towards his chamber.Hudson came and took her in his arms. Trying to comfort her.“She will be fine aunt Steff, come and sit down.” He made her sit on the chair and sighed with relief.Now that Wanda was out of danger and she might regain her consciousness might, it was a good sign as they would definitely come to know about the killer from her as she had seen him for sure or the killer would
We walked around the dim-lit grounds hiding around the bushes and waited for the car to arrive. Rob was hiding just outside the gate and keeping a close watch and he had texted me that no one had arrived yet. After waiting for nearly an hour three cars drove inside the estate and we saw that the guard was smiling at them as if they were his boss. The car drove towards the golf course and the guard did not stop him. I was seething with anger. Even dared to park my car outside. Who were they? I wondered and we started walking slowly after them. Making sure our shadows were not seen. Finally, the car stopped outside the old building and four men came out of the car. They walked behind the car and opened the boot and each of them carried big bags and went inside the building. There were only four guards according to Rob and I had seen all four of them sitting near the gate. How could I have been so careless about the estate? It was my lack of attention that something illegal was happeni
I took a deep breath and told her. “After my grandfather's death, my dad was too busy expanding his business and he stopped paying attention to it and so it was left just like that, and don’t worry I won’t burn it down. I am just planning to build a small park and would most likely just clear out the old pine trees and keep the new ones. I am very fond of these trees and wouldn’t want to destroy them.” “Oh, it's an excellent idea, Emily. You are doing so much for the community. I am amazed at how generous you and your family are.” Stella said proudly. “It's not about generosity Stella, it's about love for each other, and along these years, I have learned from my ancestors that the more you give, the more you get. And the hospital is a requirement for the needy. The old age home will be a blessing for the old people who don’t have anywhere to go. I hope my children will also learn to appreciate what they have in the future and do something for society.” I said feeling very nostalgic.
It was a very sunny day today and I had driven to the estate with Callie as she was getting bored at home and I was sure if I take her around the golf course. She will be very happy. I had invited my soul sister, Stella to come and join us as I knew even her son Hudson would enjoy it. It's rather boring living in that lakeside residence and her husband was out of town for some business meeting, so I decided to have a small picnic.I told my housekeeper to prepare some lunch for five of us as Scott had told me he would be joining us there.We drove to the estate which was in the heart of the city. And I was really happy thinking that I had taken a good decision to build the hospital there as it would be located in the central area and quite reachable for everyone.As we pulled near the gate the gatekeeper opened the gate and smiled at me. I acknowledged him. And drove inside, Rob has been working here for many years and so I knew him well. Many caretakers cam
18th September 2005, It was just another stressful as early in the morning I received a call from Richard. My phone was switched off last night and he was worried. So I had to tell him about everything that happened the day before. I got a long lecture from him, for not being careful and jeopardizing my life. She wanted me to go out again alone and told me to wait for him till he came back. I am very happy that I have a wonderful husband like him, who is very caring but when it comes to my work, I'm very dedicated to it and if I have a case running in my head, until and unless I get it solved I will not have a Peace of Mind. So after I hung up I started reading the case files again and tried to fix the zig-zaw puzzle that I had. And got distracted when my phone started ringing and I saw that it was a call from an unknown number. My private phone number was not available to many people and I wondered who was calling. I received the call and when I heard the person on the other side
We had studied together in a college and knew each other well. He was shocked to see me as I came out of the chief’s office. I can read anyone’s expression and knew he was not happy. He spoke to me for sometime and asked me about my health and went on to do his work. My husband was not in the bureau at the moment, as he was undercover with my brother, agent Logan Brown. They were a great team. So I started walking out as I had nothing else to do but as I moved out I saw Jordan Brooke seated at his place and was busy going through some case files. I was amazed and shocked that he was working as since the time I had joined the bureau, I had known that he was just a lazy duck who would take someone else’s credit and climb the ladder. He had confessed to me about his feelings when I was in college but I had not reciprocated his feeling because I was going steady with Richard . He had gotten drunk one night and caused a scene outside my apartment where I lived.Richard had solved the mat
Damian Davis was seated in his office and was busy studying the report prepared by his assistant Brain Larson.The file that Jeremy had prepared showed that Logan was actually innocent as when the incident had happened. He was undercover on some case and no one saw him for entirely one month. After Emily Clarke was murdered.The strange part was that even the CIA had not reported about his activities about what had happened as he was a very sincere agent in his team.Davis was shaking his head in distraught as if the suspense will kill him.“Brain, what else have we got here?”“Well I checked the fingerprint of the four people, which we have found at Jeremy’s office and well it turns out there were many people around.” Larson informed him.“So, tell me their names.”“First one is agent Brooke and the second one is Logan Brown but the other two don’t have any record. It looks like someone
