Kim rushed out of Landon's room-shaking, she was so scared and she didn’t know what to do. She got to the living room and picked up the telephone to make an emergency phone call.
She got to the living room and picked up the telephone, she dialed 911 and waited for them to pick up.
“Hello, what is the emergency?” A woman asked from the other end of the phone.
“I need an ambulance at Landon Hernandez's mansion. Landon just fell unconscious.” Kim uttered In haste and hung up the call.
She ran back to the room and still met Landon in that position. She was so confused that at a point she just stood and began to glare at him.
“What if he is pulling my legs? What if he just wants to see how I will react?” she asked herself. Then she remembered his pulse was faint.
“Oh, God. Landon, please stop scaring me, open your eyes.” She whimpered holding his hand.
After few minutes of touching his face and brushing his hair with her hand, she heard the siren
Kim found it hard to breathe due to the way she cried. She couldn’t still believe Landon was lying lifeless in the ward.The door of the ward opened and the doctor walked out. Kim jumped to her feet and ran to meet him.“How is he doctor?” She asked cleaning her eyes.“He is out of danger, but I must say his condition is critical. Where is his mother?” He asked and Kim swallowed hard.“I am yet to get across to her. I am still trying to unlock his phone.” She mumbled and he breathed out loud.“We need her here, if not her, then his family has to be here before we can disclose any information.” He said and she looked at his phone in frustration.“What did you use for your password for crying out loud!” She thought with tears flowing down her eyes profusely.She thought of any situation which must have prompted what he used. Then something dropped in her mind.“Egocentric Kimberly.”He had called her that before, but he doesn’t use
Landon's mother walked into the ward and met Kim in there with Landon.“Landon.” She called with tears in her eyes.“Mom? Why are you here?” Landon asked and Kim quickly moved back so she could get closer.“What kind of question is that? Did you expect me to hear my son is in the hospital and keep sleeping?” His mother asked in a shaky voice.“Mom, you didn’t have to. I am fine.” He responded and Sara rolled her eyes.“I am your mother, you don’t have to pretend you are one strong man to me. Kimberly, can you please excuse us?” Sara asked and Kim nodded walking out of the ward.“Now she is gone, you don’t have to pretend you are fine. Talk to me.” Sara stated sitting next to him on the bed.“I am scared.” He mumbled and tears rolled down Sara's eyes. She knew he was scared but didn’t want to show that part of himself to Kim.“I know baby, I know you are and I am too. The doctor…” She said and Landon cut her short.“he told you wh
“I can’t believe this, how did she get such a huge amount under 24 hours. Did Landon help her out?”“Or is she his slut?” Alex asked himself repeatedly. He wished she never found the money to pay him back so he would have to see her again.Now she had paid the debt, there is no need for them to see.“I can’t let this happen. I can’t just let her go, I can’t give up. Not after what I have done for her and the family.” He thought.He needed to know if Racheal was still on his side. He knew Kim's mother well. She supports only the money side.He put a call across to Racheal and she picked up when the call almost disconnected.“Hey, Alex. What is it?” Rachael asked nonchalantly.“That is weird of you, you don’t greet me that way,” Alex replied. He knew he already lost Kim from her side.“Well, I guess that has changed. Has Kim paid up her debt?” she asked and Alex shut his eyes in anger.He hated her already.“She has. I guess
“Thank you,” Landon said to the doctor acting strong.The Doctor nodded and began to move out of the ward when Kim turned to follow him.“Don’t leave,” Landon said with fear in his voice, making Kim stop.“I am not leaving, I will never do that. I just want to talk to the doctor.” Kim said cleaning the tears that rolled down her cheeks.“Why? He doesn’t have anything to say anymore.” Landon uttered and Kim shook her head.“I am not just going to sit down here and watch you die in seven days, Landon.” She muttered and Landon sighed.“You can’t do anything about this. This is my fate.” He said and she shook her head.“I can surely do something about it, and I will.” She replied and ran out of the ward weeping.“Doctor!” She called out running after him. The doctor heard his name and stopped to look at her.“Yes ma'am,” he responded and Kim stopped in front of him breathing hard.“Run some tests on me.” She said and he raised
“How is it, doctor?” Kim asked as he drew out the test papers. He had a normal look on his face which kept Kim wondering what was in the paper.“Check it out.” He said and Kim opened the paper carefully. She kept shaking as she did.“What if it turns negative? What if I can’t help him? What if he does because of me?” Kim thought as she began to read what was written on the paper.She smiled widely as she saw they had compatible blood groups.“This is great! We can do it right?” She asked and the doctor sighed sadly. Kim furrowed her brows looking at him.“Why? Why the face? What is going on?” she asked fearfully.“Your other kidney is not so healthy Kim. If you donate the healthy one to him, there are chances that…” He stated.“That what doctor? Finish it.” Kim said with tears in her eyes.“That you would have complications at
Kim stared at him for minutes and he felt a weird connection between them.“Kimberly.” He called and she smiled softly.“yes.” She responded and he kept his eyes locked with hers.“Can I ask you for a favor before I die?” He asked and she shook her head.“you are not dying Landon. You are staying here with us, many people don’t want you dead. And I am part.” She explained and Landon smiled faintly.“I know you have faith that I wouldn’t die. But you should know, this is my fate. So please can you do me a favor?” He asked and she nodded with tears in her eyes.“There are two things. The first is, I need you to contact my lawyer, I need him here.” He said and she nodded.“And the second?” She asked.“I want you to come closer.” He said and she creased her brows. She swallowed hard and moved her head closer to his.Sh
Alex walked home feeling so sad because of what Kim did to him. He walked to the hospital where Kim’s father was admitted.He got to the ward and walked in to see Racheal chatting with her husband.“Racheal,” Alex called and she rose her head to see Alex boiling in anger.“What’s up?” She asked standing up and Alex looked at her husband.“Hi, Alex.” He greeted and Alex smiled faintly.“Hi, sir.” He said. Kim's father, Peter noticed Alex wasn’t looking so happy and he was trying to keep his feelings.“Are you okay?” He asked and Alex nodded smiling. Rachael walked up to him and they both walked out of the ward.“what is going on?” She asked and he sighed.“I am just back from the hospital where Landon is laid. I met with Kim and can you believe what she did?” He asked and she kept looking at him.“What?” she a
Peter stood up in haste, he knew something was wrong. He felt pain at the side of his belly but he didn’t stop. He walked to the door of the ward and met Racheal walking in. “Peter, why did you get up! What is going on?” Rachael asked in shock, she held his hand and wanted to pull him back but he dragged his hand from hers. “I need to see Kimberly now.” He said and Racheal furrowed her brows. “Why do you want to see her? I told you she is busy. You know what, why don’t you go back to the bed and I will put a call across to her.” Rachel said calmly. “So you can do what you do best?” He asked in anger and Racheal was confused. “What do I do best? What are you talking about Peter?” She asked. “You lied to me about Kim being busy, and you are still lying to my face again. You didn’t talk to her, did you?” he asked and she nodded. “of course I did.” She said and Peter sighed feeling so angry. “You are making me hate
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
