Williams went home depressed about what Derrick told him. His job matters a lot more than any other thing.Although, he knew that if he would be able to win Hailey's heart, he would lack nothing because he would become a billionaire's husband.Even though Williams feared what might happen to him if he disobeyed his boss, he was still determined to reclaim Hailey.That evening, when he was about to reach the entrance to his apartment, his neighbor called out for his attention.“Mr. Williams, what's wrong? You are looking depressed. I hope all is well,” a young lady who happens to be his next-door neighbor caringly asked.Williams nodded and responded,“ Yeah, I'm fine. Everything is okay.”“Are you convinced? Because you don't seem like someone who is okay. You can talk to me about it. I might have a solution to it. Who knows?” the lady insisted.Williams stood silent as he pondered about what happened at the factory that day. He wished to share his sorrows, but he couldn't tell if anyo
The next day, when Williams was on his way to the factory, something intriguing happened. He spotted Hailey entering a Shop rite with Justin in her hand, while her guardsmen followed her. He stood in one position, contemplating whether he should approach her or not. After pondering for a few minutes, he finally gestured toward the Shop Rite with boldness. His neighbor had advised him, and he was ready to go with that advice, no matter the consequences.Thankfully, he was with a hat. He wore the hat and covered his face to hide his face from being noticed by Hailey from a far distance.He slowly followed them, pretending as if he were shopping, but he wasn't. However, as he saw that he wouldn't be able to get to Hailey from behind, he decided to take a different direction.With haste, he changed direction. He found them coming towards him as Hailey bought a few things for her son and maybe for her consumption.He lowered his face to the ground and walked up to them. While Hailey was
“Sh*t!” Nancy, who was a nurse in the hospital where Derrick was working, cursed through gritted teeth as she paced up and down the uncompleted building.“This is your first assignment and you guys failed me despite the huge amount of money I gave you.``Nancy grimaced at the bulky four young men standing in front of her with guns in their hands, and hidden knives around their waist.“Forgive me, ma'am. I didn't lose the target. It's just that a certain young man spotted me when I was about to shoot, and he saved her from the bullets, causing him to be the victim. There was no way I could aim at her the second time because her guards were already aware of the gunshot. I was left with no choice but to escape for my life.” one of the young, bulky men explained with an apologetic expression.Now, Nancy, the lady who was crushing on Derrick, found out that Derrick was also trying to date Hailey, who was already a single Mom.However, another young man was also crushing on Nancy, and he conf
“What are you doing in my house? And who told you my address, huh? Why should you enter my house without my permission?” Nancy yelled at the young man as she motioned towards him through gritted teeth.“Pardon me for coming to your house without informing you. However, I can explain how I got your house address.” the young man responded with a calm voice.“What's your name again?” Nancy croaked as she frowned at him.“Emmett. My name is Emmett,” he said repeatedly.“Good,” Nancy muttered,“ kindly walk out of my father's house, Emmett, before I lose my cold…”“What's happening here?” Nancy Mom, who was descending the staircase, interrupted.With haste, Nancy averted her gaze away from Emmett to her Mom.“Mom,” Nancy angrily called out,“ why should you welcome a stranger into our house, and yet you let him sit in the living room alone? What if he stole something and escaped with it?”“Hey, Nancy. I'm not a thief, please. Why should I think of stealing your property?” Emmett smirked.“I d
“What's wrong, Dr. Derrick? You have been moody since you arrived at the office. Couldn't you get the contract you told me about? Or is it about that so-called lady you always tell me about?” Nancy asked Derrick a thousand and one question within one breath.Derrick was in his lab coat, sitting on his office chair with his hands resting on the table before him, as hospital files and equipment played with his sight on the table.Derrick shut his eyes and angrily bit his lower lip, and remained in that position for a few minutes.However, Nancy already knew that since the day Hailey was brought to the hospital by her Mom, Derrick's behaviors had changed.Occasionally, he looks moody. Perhaps because Hailey might have annoyed him. Another time, he looks happy because Hailey did what he was pleased with.This made Nancy grin at him, wondering if Derrick was moody because of Hailey, his so-called ex-girlfriend.“You are not responding. What's wrong?” she asked once more with a worrisome fa
In a hospital called Winter Hospital, Williams slowly opened his eyes, his head throbbing with pain. His vision was blurry, and it took him a moment to adjust to the light. His eyes began to focus, he realized he was lying in a hospital bed. He looked down at his chest, where he saw a large bandage covering a wound.“Where am I?” he croaked, his throat dry and sore. He scanned the room, trying to figure out where he was and what happened that he ended up there.Suddenly, a woman opened the door and entered, causing Williams to turn his gaze to the door.Immediately the lady entered, Williams repeated the same question he asked earlier,“ Where am I?”“You're in the hospital," she responded and gestured towards him with a slight smile displayed on her face.Williams struggled to remember what happened, but then, the woman standing beside the hospital bed took his attention, causing his head to hurt.“H-Hailey?” Williams muttered as he attended to sit up.“Hey, don't do that, Williams.
Just as Williams recognized the person standing by the door, his heartbeat skipped in seconds.However, Hailey's back was still against the door because she never bothered to check who it was, as what Williams was telling her was making her heartthrob.“Williams,” Derrick finally called out and gestured towards them with a fake calm expression on his face.“Hey, Hailey,” said Derrick as he came closer to her.“Hey, Williams. You are here…” Hailey nodded as she was still contemplating if she should bring Justin, her son, to see his father.She never wanted anything like a ‘relationship’ to join her with any man again, but Justin was becoming a barrier to the promise she made to herself, which she wasn't willing to break.“Yeah, I just heard from the officer, so I decided to come to check on Williams and know how he is doing.” he responded and then asked, “Where are you going? It seems like you were about to go out?”“Yeah-yeah, I was. I want to go and get some food for Williams. If I'm
Now, the next day after closing from the office, Derrick didn't go directly to the winter hospital to check on Williams, rather, he took Nancy to his house.On arriving home, Derrick hastily dropped from the car, he walked around to the other side and romantically opened the car door for Nancy to come out.“Welcome to my house, Nancy,” he said with a wide smile as he dramatically bowed to her.“Thank you, Dr. Derrick.” Nancy appreciated him with a wide smile on her face.“My pleasure,” he muttered and gently closed the car door.Derrick led her into the house, as Nancy majestically walked behind him like a princess, perhaps a bride.“Once more, welcome to my house, Nancy.” he bowed to her again as he opened the entrance for Nancy to enter the lounge.She smiled at him and held her purse in front of her with her two hands.Just as they stepped into the lounge, Mimi, Derrick's younger sister, sighted them, and she hastily jumped off the couch and ran to her big brother with her arms wid
Hailey stood silent for a long time, pondering what to tell Williams, so he could free her. They gazed at each other and remained in that position for what seemed like ages as the atmosphere became suffocated for Hailey.“Are you serious about what you are saying?” she finally asked with a low voice, her eyes wide open with astonishment.“Of course, yes. Do I appear like someone who is joking? I guess I'm not dressing like a joker, Hailey.” he smirked.She shook her head and said, “You must be kidding me, Williams. Here are the keys, take them, so I can move out of this place. I have forgiven you for breaking my heart into a thousand pieces. But just because I forgave you doesn't mean I will accept you back as my husband. I don't need any man in my life again, no matter how wealthy the man is. You betrayed me, Williams.”“Come on, Hailey. No one is above mistakes. We all make mistakes, so please take that as a mistake. Or are you trying
After a week of looking after her ex-husband in the hospital, Williams was discharged when the medical doctor was convinced that his health level had improved.Using her car, Hailey asked her chauffeur to drive Williams to the apartment he rented. Just as they halted in front of the apartment, a lady approached them after she spotted him coming out as he was helped by one of Hailey's two guards.Although she knew that her life was in danger, she didn't go out with her convoy, rather, she asked only two of her guards to follow her. Her chauffeur and the head guard.“Good day, madam,” the lady greeted Hailey with a friendly smile.“Good day, and how are you doing?” Hailey responded as she tried to think if she knew her somewhere, but she couldn't recall seeing such a face before.Upon seeing that Hailey was pondering more than she should, the lady said, “My name is Ariana, and I'm Williams's neighbor. It has been a while since I last saw him, that's why I'm here to see him, madam.”“Ohh,
Nancy couldn't tell whether she should smile or not. She couldn't believe that the Derrick she knew in her childhood was the same Derrick she had been mingling with for a long time without noticing it.Conversely, Derrick was also lost in thoughts as he wondered if what his Mom said was true.Within minutes, Mrs. Dorothy came back with an old picture in her hand, with a smile plastered on her face.“Here,” Mrs. Dorothy placed the medium size picture before them. She said, "There are two families in the picture. My husband, me, and Derrick. The other family was standing with Nancy and her parents. Can any of you remember this picture?”They lifted their heads and gazed at each other skeptically, trying to recall everything, but they couldn't because it had been ages since the picture was snapped.Aside from that, they were still kids.“No, I can't recall anything. However, I could only recall that I had a good childhood friend who was a girl. I can't remember anything more than that.” D
