***AFTER TWO WEEKS***
Kimberly waited for Landon to help her with the door when they got home. Landon rushed to the other side of the door and opened it.
“Let me get the wheelchair baby.” He said and she shook her head.
“No. I can walk, I told you.” She said and he refused.
“It is risky Kimberly. You are just recovering okay? Please don’t walk, for now, I don’t mind carrying you anywhere I go, baby.” He said and Kim smiled.
“Fine, go get it. But I won’t use it in the house.” She said and Landon shrugged his shoulders walking to the back of the car.
He pulled down the wheelchair and moved it to where Kimberly was. She moved closer carrying her legs to the chair.
Before she knew it, he bent down and lifted her off the car seat, and placed her on the chair.
“You didn’t have to. I didn’t br
THE NEXT DAYLandon lifted Kimberly from the bed and she couldn’t stop giggling.“you are making me feel so useless.” She said and he shook his head.“you know that isn’t true. I just want to make sure you aren’t stressing yourself.” He said and she hid her face in her chest.“I am shy.” She said and Landon laughed.“You ought to.” He said opening the bathroom door with his hand and carrying her in.He placed her in the bathtub, she still had her robe on. She stared at him as he began to prepare her bathing water for her.She smiled widely and he noticed making him smile.“Why are you smiling?” he asked and she shrugged her shoulders.“You are been so nice. And it’s damn romantic.” She said biting her lower lip and Landon laughed softly.“Don’t do that. I told you th
Alex sat in his living room busy with some personal work on his PC when his phone vibrated. He picked it up and saw the doctor calling.He furrowed his brows immediately he saw the caller, he picked up the call, put it on speaker, and placed it on the table.He didn’t want the call to disturb what he was doing at the moment.“Good day Mr. Alex.” The doctor greeted from the other side.“Good day Doc. How is it going?” Alex asked with his eyes glued to the PC.“I just received a call from Mr. Landon not long ago. Miss. Kimberly insisted on seeing the donor today.” He explained and his sentence caught Alex's attention.“Oh really? Thank you so much for letting me know. I would be able to see her today, very soon.” He said with a grin on his face.“Okay then, I would let them know that.” He said and Alec smirked.“Pleas
Kimberly was done putting on her outfit, so she stood in front of the mirror to check herself out.“You look, gorgeous baby,” Landon said coming out of nowhere and hugging her from behind.“Thank you. Can I walk all by myself now? I am going to the living room okay. It’s not a journey.” She said and Landon giggled.“Fine. You are free to walk for now. I would resume my job later.” He said and she laughed.“Thank you. You should dress up too, I don’t want to meet the donor alone.” She said and he nodded.“Of course, I would be there too. You know men don’t take time on dressing. I would be done in few minutes.” He said walking to his closet.Kim nodded and walked out of the room, and Landon sighed bowing his head.“I don’t know if I did the right thing. I should have just said something earlier.” Landon mu
“Landon, can you please explain to me what happened? I am the only one that can help you talk to her.” Peter said looking at Landon who looked so sad.“I didn’t mean to hurt her, I just didn’t want to lose the both of you. When you told me you were going to donate your last kidney to her, I became worried. I didn’t want you to die because of her, moreover, I started all these.”“that same day, I met Alex in the hospital, he didn’t see me but I did see him. He walked out of the doctor's office and them out of the hospital. I was so curious to know what he was there for, so I went to the doctor to ask him.”“Then he told me that Alex had come to donate his kidney to Kimberly, and he claimed to have two clean kidneys. I was happy and at the same time sad about the news. We needed a kidney and we got one, but not from our enemy. I was confused and didn’t know what to do. So the docto
Landon hugged Kimberly for so long that tears gathered in Peter's eyes. He wished he and Racheal could be like that, but he never thought it would be possible.“Can I say something?” Landon asked and Kim nodded disengaging from the hug.“What is it?” Kim asked eagerly cleaning the tears off her face.“I guess you should understand what Mrs. Rachael has been saying now. That means she must have been the one to tell Alex about what was going on. She didn’t mean any harm.” Landon said and Peter shook his head.“What if the doctor wasn’t smart enough? What if she just used this to bail herself out of the trouble she caused with Alex.” Peter stated and Landon sighed.“I just feel she wanted to help us by doing that. I believe if it was to bail herself out, why would she come here and tell us to run? What if when we go and he still hurts her? Please I want us
“Thank you so much, sir. I would love it if it was possible this week.” He said and hung up the call.“Who was that?” Haley asked wrapping herself around Landon, and he held and cuddled her.“A businessman. He is helping out with the traveling we talked out.” He said and she nodded.“So soon? That is impressive.” She said and he smiled.“I don’t want to waste any more time. I just want you to get out of here, far away from Alex and this environment.” He said.“so when do you plan on calling Alex and giving him what we plan on giving him?” she asked and Landon sighed looking at the ceiling.“I was thinking of meeting him at an open place, like a restaurant instead of our house. I just want to be very careful when dealing with him.” He said and she nodded.“I would love to be there with you when presenting it to him. I
Landon felt satisfied with what Ruby and the designers did to the restaurant they were able to rest for the proposal. He stood at the door and took a long stare at the surroundings with a smile on his face.“You seem so happy. You like it?” Ruby asked and Landon nodded looking at her as she approached him.“I love it. I never thought I would have such satisfactory result in such an impromptu organization.” He said and Ruby chuckled.“I made sure I went for the best of designers. They don’t have to think before picturing the place before knowing what to do and how to decorate it.” She said and Landon felt pleased.“I appreciate your effort and dedication Ruby. You are not just a worker of mine, but also a friend I can run to in times of need.” He said facing her and her cheeks flushed lightly.“You are pulling my legs with those words right?” She asked and he s
“Kimberly, what is going on? Please talk to me.” He said still very confused but scared.“Why don’t you just go to her? Why do you have to pretend that it is me you want?” she asked in anger and tears.“Her? Babe, I don’t understand what you are talking about. Who is her?” he asked approaching her and Kim looked away still weeping.“Baby please talk to me. I need to know what is going on, you know I would never hurt you.” He said and she gazed at him.“Really? So what does this mean?” She asked raising her phone to him and when he saw what was in it he became so shocked.“Isn't that you hugging Ruby?” Kim asked dropping the phone carelessly on the bed and Landon shook his head.“Oh my God, Kim I swear it Isn’t what you think. I swear it isn’t. Please believe me.” He said and she narrowed her eyes.“Believe you!
They started hearing gunshots all around them as they were inside the room looking at Alex bleed out in dismay."Did you call the Cops?" Kim asked Racheal and she shook her head."Of course not, I didn't. I don't know how these got alerted." Rachael said shaking profusely. She knew she was going to end up in jail for what she did."Kim!" Kim heard that voice. The one she had been craving for hours to hear."Landon!! Landon, I am here." She yelled from the room happily standing up and walking to the door. Before she could get to the door, the door opened and Landon barged in."Oh My... How are you?" He asked hugging her tightly and shutting his eyes. He felt so happy to see she was doing fine."I am a fine baby. I am so happy you are here, I thought I would never see you again." She said and they disengaged."That would never happen." He said looking up and then he saw Racheal holding a gun in
"Don't you get me! My wife was just abducted by only God knows, they must have fought her and that is why they also smashed her phone. You are taking this so slow!" Landon yelled in anger and Peter moved to where he was and placed his hand on his shoulders."They are cops Landon, they would do their work very well," Peter said and Landon looked at him."We have been here for minutes and Kimberly is out there in danger and I can't do anything. This isn't the way it is supposed to be. I mean, they kidnapped her very close to me, I mean she called me and it seemed weird but I wasn't observant. I should have just looked outside of that window and I would have seen her, but I was busy planning a stupid party." He said in frustration and Peter sighed."Landon, none of this is your fault okay? The kidnappers are at fault and they are the ones to suffer for this..." He said and got interrupted by a detective."Mr. Landon, do you have any s
Alex opened the door and walked into the house which was located in the middle of nowhere. He walked to the room and the guards opened the door for him."Thank you." He said happily, and as he walked in, he saw Kimberly laying on the bed, her arms and eyes were tied with some clothing."You did a great job," Alex said to him and he smiled and nodded in response."Sorry about the swollen part on her head, she was trying to prove stubborn. But you don't have to worry, I cleaned up the mess I made." He said and Alex walked up to her and checked her head out."It is fine, you can leave now. I would stay here and watch her till she wakes up." He said to him and he nodded walking to the door."I would see you before I leave," Alex added as he finally walked out of the room. With a smirk on his face, he turned to look at Kim and placed his hand on her softly.He moved his hand to her hair which was scattered all
"Baby, I am coming okay? I don't see any reason why you don't want to come home first before we talk." Kim said on phone walking out of the mansion and shutting the door.She was the only one at home at the moment, Peter left to meet his date. He met with a beautiful single mother online and thought of meeting her. She seemed great on phone, and Kim hoped she was as great in person."Baby, trust me okay? Come home would make me so tired and lazy to step out again. You can take the car and drive down to the Company." He said and she smiled nodding."Alright, see you soon." She said and hung up the phone. She knew Landon had probably planned another surprise. "Or why would he ask me to start coming to the company at 11 am when he left some few hours ago."She got into the car and sat placing her bag on the other front seat. She checked out her makeup in the mirror and felt contented with what she wore.She knew Landon wa
Landon and Kim went home feeling so happy, Peter sat at the back of the car looking worried and Landon noticed this when he looked at him through the mirror."Are you alright?" He asked looking at him."I am. Thank you for asking." Peter responded and Kim furrowed her eyes and turned her head to look at him."You don't seem alright, You look sad. Aren't you happy for me Dad?" She asked and Peter arched his brows shaking his head."Of course not. I am happy for you, and you know it. This is one of the best days in my life baby." He said and she responded with a sigh."So why do you look so sad?" She asked emotionally."Because I wished a day like this would come and I and Racheal would be to gather rejoicing with you as your parent. But I guess that was all a fantasy." He said bowing his head sadly and Kim reached for his hand from the front seat."Dad, it's fine okay? You shouldn't think about it anymore.
"Will you marry me?" Landon asked as tears rushed down her eyes in surprise."Say yes!" The crowd chorused and that was when she raised her head and realized that they were not the only ones in the restaurant.There was Ruby, Daniel, and many other faces that she had not seen in her life before."Yes, Landon. Yes." She said and Landon placed the ring on her finger. He got up and pulled her in his arms kissing her firmly."I love you so much Kimberly, thank you for making me the happiest man on Earth." He said hugged her while she still wept."I love you too baby." She replied and the cheers from the people kept growing louder and louder. They all seemed so happy for her.***Alex climbed down his car only to see the restaurant looking all crowded."What is going on here?" He asked himself wondering why Landon would pick such a rowdy place to meet with him."Is he that scared of m
"Babe, are you done?" Landon asked walking into the room with his car keys in his hands."I am almost done..." She said emphasizing the 'done'."And, done." She added as soon as she was done blending her lipstick."Wow, baby you look gorgeous." He commented as soon as she got up from the chair."Thanks, babe. The gown you got fits me perfectly." She uttered and he smiled nodding."You know I am good at anything I do." He said giggling and Kim nodded."I know right. C'mon, let's go see that man and get back to the house. I want to do this once and for all." She said and Landon nodded."I need to tell you something, Kim." He said and immediately, Kim's heart skipped."What is it this time Landon?" She asked fearfully."I need you to do whatever I tell you to do without questioning me okay?" He asked and she furrowed her grows and finally nodded."Okay." She said
THE NEXT DAYAlex paced around the living room, he seemed worried about something and Racheal noticed this. She walked up to him and looked into his eyes.“what is wrong this time?” She asked and he shot her a deadly look.“Rachael hasn’t called me since I said all those things about Landon to her, I don’t know what is going on there at the moment, and it is pissing me off.” He said and she sighed bowing her head.“Why are you like this Alex? Tell me. Don’t you love me? Why can’t you just let her be? We love each other right? Why chase after Kim after telling you in all ways that she is in love with Landon, not you.” Rachael said emotionally and Alex looked at her in surprise“Are you kidding right now? Do we love each other? And when did I ever say that to you?” He asked and Racheal's eyes widened.“If you don’t love me and I do
Still brooding over what she had seen, Kim laid in bed sobbing silently. She felt her heart rip to pieces.“I thought he loved me. Why go after her again?” this thought kept ringing in her head and this made more tears drop.She heard the door open and without raising her head she spoke up.“I am not in the mood for this Landon, please go away.” She mumbled with her face buried in the bed.“You know acting like that is kind of childish right?” Ruby stated and Kim raised her head immediately she heard the voice of a woman. It sounded familiar, but she hoped it isn’t who she thought it was.After seeing Ruby, she showed an angry countenance making Ruby smiled.“What are you doing here? And who let you in in the first place?” Kim asked angrily and Ruby sighed.“I needed to see you because, in as much as we don’t like each other, I don’t
