ANDREW

“Did it work?” Jason's voice boomed through her phone. Kate had revised her plan with Jason, she explained how she would set up Andrew's beloved wife and ruin their marriage.

Kate and Jason had been working hand in hand since she had a meeting with him, from the DNA test to the setup.

“Not quite, but it did the job.” Kate answered as she took a cigarette from a pack and lit it up, Manny was gone from the house but not their lives. She needed to finish the job, she had to be gone permanently.

“It's just sad that poor Liam had to be collateral damage." Kate took a long drag from the cigarette and blew in the air as she spoke of Liam as if they weren't related.

The desire to get the Cooper's wealth surpassed the love she had for her son; she hadn't even been to the hospital to visit him.

“What's the next step?” Jason asked, the ruffling of papers disturbing his voice.

“There's only one thing to do."

The silence on the phone was a long one, like each of them reading the other's m

    MANNYManny was confused.Between the crying monitor, what Liam had just said and him fainting made her frazzled, everything happened so fast.Andrew rushed in with the doctor who immediately got to work. They checked his vitals and other necessary things as the monitor beeped loudly.Andrew dragged Manny out of the room as she screamed and wailed over Liam, she didn't want to leave. She thought worst of the boy as she took one last look at him.Andrew walked a disheveled Manny to her car, she was in an unstable state.The last time she was like this was when she had set an hotel on fire, and couple with everything, the present situation was more heartbreaking for her.Andrew opened the door and made her sit at the owner's corner while he called one of his drivers to come pick her up. He waited with her in the car, afraid of leaving her alone.Manny's sobbing broke him. She wasn't Liam's mother yet she was this way—and Kate seemed to not care—she pitied her, she had to live with this

    ANDREW “Are the cargos at the warehouse already?” Andrew asked as he went through his phone. He's thrown himself into more work these days, he couldn't allow himself to think about any other thing, just work.“Yes, but one was stolen.” Tristan voiced and placed his phone on the table, showing Andrew a video.Over the months since they met, Andrew convinced Tristan to be his business partner, and Tristan of course saw a golden opportunity and jumped on the offer. "Stolen? Same people?" Tristan nodded. Andrew hissed. The new faction that was created was getting on his nerves, they were supposed to be working with him, not against him. The audacity to even steal from him! He needed to do something about them.“Tell your men to get prepared then.” Andrew ordered.“It won't be that easy, This time the operation was ordered by one of the triads.”"Aren't they all dead?” "No.” Tristan replied and further showed him the picture of the last one standing.Andrew then remembered Jason's slo

    MANNYJosie thought her friend had gone insane. Didn't Andrew make it clear he wanted nothing to do with her? How else could he say it? She watched Manny put on the dress that she had picked out yesterday and put on a lot of makeup to cover eye bags. Her friend was in denial, she had no idea what to do that could make her snap out of it.“How do I look?” Manny asked as she adjusted her clothes. She looked better than she had looked in days, she couldn't say ‘no don't go’. If this would help her get over everything once and for all, then she had to be supportive.“You look great.” Josie complimented, as she mirrored her friend's smile.After they both had breakfast, Manny went to see Andrew. She was going to ask about Liam and most importantly, to talk to him about what his son had said.“Mommy did it.”What did that mean exactly? What did Kate do?She got to the gate and they let her in instantly, it was good to know that she wasn't fully restricted from the Cooper's Mansion. Manny

    ANDREW Josie paced through the corridor as the doctors were busy with Manny in the ward. She called Tristan on the way to the hospital but he never answered. Now she was alone with Manny without an idea of what had happened to her.She remembered there was one more person she could call, so she picked up Manny's phone and luckily her passcode remained the same over the years. She searched for that one number that could help her and dialed it.The phone rang as she kept her fingers crossed, her hands sweating as she pressed the phone to her ear and hoped to get a response.“Manny, I can't talk right…”“Manny's in the hospital.” Josie exclaimed before he could finish his sentence.“What?” “She's in the hospital. She complained—”“Text me the address of the, I'm on my way.” He interrupted and quickly left work in a frenzy.Andrew drove like a madman to the hospital, the ringing in his ear couldn't stop.He shouldn't have left her alone, he should have stayed with her. He gripped the st

    MANNY Andrew ordered his men to search every corner of the hospital for Avery, if she came here she and Kate were probably working together. Andrew's men searched but found no one, she was gone. When they told Andrew this, he didn't give up the search, he told them to be on high alert. He then left to be with Manny who was fully awake Andrew now, he silently prayed that she wouldn't pass out again. “How are you feeling?” Andrew asked as he helped her adjust on the bed. He handled her gently, afraid she was going to break if he wasn't careful with her. “I'm fine, no need to worry.” But he wouldn't let go. “I want to. Allow me to worry over you, let me take care of you now that I'm here.” His words melted her heart, she gave in and allowed him to baby her. Their quiet time was interrupted by a very loud shriek, that made Manny close her ears. “Oh Manny, you are alive.” Josie said dramatically and ran Manny as she tried not to make her uncomfortable with her hug. “W

    **SOMEWHERE IN AUSTRALIA The sound of her heels resonated through the half-empty bar. The dimmed lights concealed her face, preventing her from being recognized. It wasn't good for her to be in the public eye, that was why she chose this particular bar, a place where no one comes to.She stopped and looked around, her eyes searched for the person she was to meet and the lights weren't being of help to her.Her eyes finally landed on the grey-headed man, his composure made him stand out.She walked over to him with a smile on her face. Today, she was getting what she had always wanted, an investment.“Drinking alone?” She took her seat beside him and hollered at the barman to give her a drink.“You are early.” The man acknowledged her presence as he took the last of the cup’s contents. He would rather be anywhere but there“I can't keep you waiting now can I?”She would try her best to use all her charm and make sure he gave in. She wasn't leaving empty-handed.“So what is it that yo

    MANNY Manny stared at her mother, she didn't blink a wink. She was too confused, her mother was the last person she expected to see. If not for the look of surprise on both Andrews's and Josie's faces, she would have thought that one of them had contacted and told her about her condition. “Hello dear.” Her mother had a sincere smile on her face, one that Manny hadn't seen in a long time but that didn't mean she’d accept her with open arms. She was skeptical. Anything her mother did was always for her benefit. “Mother, what are you doing here.” Manny failed to mask her surprise as it protected through her voice. “What sort of question is that? I came to see, of course, I heard about your little accident.” Kari snared the last three words. She had to maintain composure to look motherly. She smiled and sauntered towards Manny who jerked back unconsciously. Eyes were glued on Kari like she was a foreign thing that had just fallen from the sky right before their eyes. “K

    ANDREW “I think you've been here long enough." Andrew dashed into the room, tired of staying outside. “You should leave." Kari looked at Andrew in contempt. He was like his father, placing his claim on something he didn't even merit. She pulled a lot of strings for everything to go well. “I was just leaving.” Kari said and placed the basket of food by Manny's side. She wasn't going to leave her daughter to have the horrible hospital food. “Make sure you take your drugs dear, if you want to leave here on time.” she cautioned, said goodbye to the other three and left. Her mother's words may have sounded normal to everyone, but only she knew the meaning behind it. “Are you okay? I heard a loud sound earlier, did she hit you? “No, she didn't, I'm fine.” Manny laughed it off as she tried to hide her face with her hair. She hoped her mother's palm hadn't left a mark on her sensitive skin. “Is it just me or did she get scarier?” Josie entered, her mouth and hands filled wi

    In a bright, sunlit kitchen, the aroma of freshly baked cookies fills the air. Amelia sat at the kitchen table, her hands gently resting on her pregnant belly. Her long, brunette hair cascades over her shoulders, and her eyes, filled with a blend of excitement and nostalgia, look lovingly at her two children. Aiden and Adelaide, four, sat eagerly beside her, their wide eyes full of curiosity. “Woah!” The little boy exclaimed with so much excitement. “Was that how you gave birth to us?” Amelia nodded, her smile wide. The children were waiting for their father when they pushed her to tell them a story about how she fell in love with their dad. Now that she was done, they looked at her, more curious than before. "You know, when I was a little girl, not much older than you two, I used to dream about the day I'd have my own family," she began. “And now I do.” She beamed at them. “But why was Daddy so mean to you? He even threatened to take away Angel?!” Adelaide asked,

    The night was eerily quiet when Amelia's labor began. She had felt sporadic contractions throughout the day, but they were manageable. Now, though, as the pain intensified and the contractions came closer together, she knew it was time. But her husband seemed to be lost on what to do. "Hang in there Manny. I'm calling Josie and Tristan to come over." Andrew said, trying to keep his voice steady. “Call the fucking driver Andrew. I need to go to the hospital." Amelia yelled as the pain intensified. “Right, the driver." Andrew scurried out of the house and later came back in to get his wife. "Get the bags!” Amelia commanded and he complied, afraid she would tear him off with her eyes. On their way to the hospital, Andrew informed Tristan what was happening and he promised to show up at the hospital with Josie. Amelia's mind was a whirlwind of emotions—excitement, fear, and pain intertwined. She had done thousands of checkups and only ate the food Andrew cooked for h

    The grand cathedral was adorned with cascading white roses, shimmering crystals, and soft candlelight, casting a warm, ethereal glow over the gathering. The air buzzed with the murmur of anticipation and the gentle strains of a string quartet playing in the background. Down the hallway where she was getting set, Amelia felt a mixture of excitement and nervousness as she prepared to walk down the aisle. Her dress was a masterpiece of silk and lace, custom-designed to fit her perfectly. She had designed the dress herself, she might have wielded a gun for ten years but her hands could still hold a needle. Tristan wore a proud smile as he stretched his hands out for her. She took his arm, feeling the weight of the moment settle in her chest, her heart pounding with each step. The doors swung open, and a collective gasp echoed through the hall. Amelia took in deep breaths, and with joy, she took her first step onto the rose-petal-strewn aisle. Her eyes locked with Andrew’s wh

    Amelia spent a month and some days in the hospital getting better but mostly cuddling up with Andrew. Their love continued like she never left. There were times that she would cry while explaining everything she had been through and Andrew would console her, promising to do everything in his power to protect her. Andrew had come to pick her up from the hospital that morning and Josie insisted that Amelia come to her place first. It was her house regardless. “I can't believe this." Josie squealed, unable to contain her joy. All this while, her friend was alive and was right under her nose. She knew the first time she set her eyes on Amelia that there was something familiar about her. “You're alive." She spread her arms wide and Amelia wasted no time in jumping into her embrace. She had missed her so much. "I'm so happy.” "Me too Josie…me too.” The two women cried till they could cry no more. Their cheeks were red, their eyes puffy and their clothes were stained wi

    The sound of something shattering jerked Amelia back into consciousness. She tried getting up and groaned as she fell back down. She looked at what was happening around her, her swollen eyes making it almost impossible to see who was who. She was kept hidden in a corner, away from the disaster that was happening. “Fuck.” She heard Sebastian's voice and quickly turned in his direction. She saw him tangled up with the man she had seen so many times. Her captor. “Sebastian.” She croaked, but he couldn't hear. Just then he received a bullet to the end. Amelia froze but then breathed out in relief as he saw Sebastian get up. She looked up to see who had shot the gun and saw Tristan helping him up. ‘Andrew.’ a voice screamed at her. Her eyes scanned the room, her heart pounding, praying something hadn't happened to Andrew as she searched for him. The firing of a gun caught her attention. Tilting her head out of curiosity, she found Andrew, firing his father's both legs. “

    Andrew and his men moved out. The roaring engines of the cars filled the air as they drove deep into the outskirts of town. Andrew drove Tristan and Sebastian with him as he continued running the plan over in his mind. ‘nothing could go wrong.’ He thought, gripping the steering wheel tightly. “Dude, slow down. You're going to get us killed before we even get there." Tristan cautioned, feeling the increasing speed of the car. This was his first ever mission and his anxiety got the better of him. "I should have just stayed behind the scenes like always.” He muttered, regretting his decision the closer they got to their destination. “I didn't force you." Andrew reminded and Sebastian chuckled at the back. "Whatever. I just want to come back alive.” The car became quiet again and after a while, they got to the place. Allen and Lorenzo had done a good job hiding the place. At first, it was pretty hard to locate. Andrew stepped out of his car, the cool air sweeping

    “I kept her under your care.” Andrew bellowed, his eyes blazed with anger as he punched Tristan. Tristan staggered back and massaged his jaw. Andrew had just arrived from Mexico and the first thing on his mind was to punch him. “How the fuck did she get kidnapped!” He roared, hitting him again before he could regain his stance. Couldn't something go right in his absence for once? “I tried to warn her, it's not my fault. She's a grown woman!” Tristan argued, dodging the next punch that Andrew threw at him. Andrew kept charging at him, and Tristan constantly missed it. He tried his best not to hit back, he knew Andrew wasn't himself at the moment. “Andrew!” Josie snapped, her sharp voice pierced through the hallway as her eyes blazed with fury and her lips curled up in anger. “She left on her own. Don't hold my husband responsible.” She hissed coming forward to stand between them. “You should have tried to talk sense into her.” “Who said we didn't?” Josie took a step

    “What do you mean kidnapped?” Andrew barked, his teeth gritting. He left her right there for protection. How was it possible to get kidnapped? “She went out for a walk and never came back. We've been searching for her.” Tristan explained he could tell Andrew wasn't having any of it. “And then?” He hissed. “We got a note yesterday, saying if you want to see your wife, you have to bring the cash.” Andrew fumed at his statement, his hand clenched in a fist. Would his father go this far? Or was it someone else? “Did it say who it's from?” “Lorenzo.” He paled. His blood ran cold at what he would have done to Amelia. Then he felt immersed in Anger. He wasn't going to win this time. Without allowing Tristan to continue, he ended the call, picked up the documents from the table, and headed toward the door. He wasn't losing her for the second time. Getting closer to the exit, he saw Sebastian by the door, a duffel bag in his hand. “I'm going with you.” He said, h

    “Why can't you just listen? Don't go out at night, it's a very simple instruction.” Tristan complained as he drove Amelia back to the house. She had gone out of the house again for her ‘evening walks.’ “You can't tell me what to do.” She whined, folding her hands like a child that had been scolded. “Andrew isn't here at the moment so as of right now, I get to tell you what to do.” Amelia just scoffed as she looked out her window, the night cool air, hitting her as Tristan drove. They got home to see Josie by the entrance, pacing. “Amelia.” She rushed over to her and hugged her. “You got me so worried, don't just leave the house like that ever again.” “Andrew said your life might be in danger, that's why you have to stay with us.” “I'm sorry for making you worry but I'm here now. Why don't we go inside?” Josie nodded and Amelia led her into the house by the hand. Everyone had retired to bed and was now sleeping, except her. So she decided to go again. Making su
