“No,” Kelvin shook his head, “I’m not hooking up with her,” Though he did not think she would still insist on an answer, he did not hold back from responding. She was cool headed now and if things were going to work out between them, they had to live in peace and get along well. There would be no getting along if she thought that Hannah was in the picture. He also felt like he owed it to her to give an explanation. God, he was doing so many things he has never done before and it was all because of her.“Really?” She asked as she reached for her glass of juice again. She took a sip before she peered at him over the glass, “So how come the both of you decided to hop on a plane and land at the same time?” Until he gave her a believable story, she was not going to take his word for it.“It was a coincidence,”“Well, I do not believe in coincidence and I’m not a fool. I was there for a long time and you never cared to visit. All of a sudden, you appeared at the door, then I saw your ex-gi
“Oh my God, what are you doing here?” Arialla asked, her eyes sparkling with excitement as she gazed up with Steven. He was a man with blonde hair and his eyes were the color of blue skies.“I came for dinner with my…” Steven trailed off as he glanced at the woman who was hanging on his arm, “Beautiful friend,Amy,”“Nice to meet you, Amy,” Ariella stretched out her hand to the woman with a wide smile. She realized only too late that she should not have done that because the other woman just stared at her hand in disgust and refused to take it. The smile on Ariella’s face froze and everything became awkward.Amy looked a little familiar but for the life of her, she could not place where she had seen her.“Amy,” Steven called with a red face as he poked the other woman’s side.“Oh, yeah, that’s right. It is really nice to meet you, Ariella,” Amy said with a wide smile that did not touch her eyes as she grabbed Ariella’s hand that she left hanging. She squeezed tightly, causing Ariella
Gladys was crying outside the room Ariella was locked in with the doctors and Kelvin was trying his best to console her. Their private doctors had been waiting in front of the house with a gurney when Jude drove inside the compound. They quickly took her away into the underground room that served as a hospital room in his house. The doctors had been in there for a few hours and Kelvin was beginning to panic but he knew that he needed to be strong for his mother.“How could this happen again? What if something happens to her or the baby?” Gladys cried into Kelvin’s chest, “I don’t think she will ever recover if anything was to happen to her child. This is wrong in so many ways.”“Shhh, mom, we cannot think the worst right now. She will be fine. She is a fighter,” Kelvin did not know if he was consoling himself or his mother. Maybe he was consoling the both of them.“Your father and I should have taken care of this years ago but we couldn’t. I’m so sorry Kelvin, I’m so sorry,” Gladys c
Amy was sitting anxiously in a private room in hotel De La Cruz as she waited for the person that sent her a message attached with an incriminating video of her.Amy had turned white and nearly threw up when she got the first video and the message. She was being blackmailed. First, she panicked but then the panic disappeared only to be replaced by anger. She could not understand how this person got hold of this video Did this person know who she was? How dare the person try to blackmail her? Once she knew who this person was, she wouldn't hesitate to put him or her in the ground.She immediately asked who the person was and what they wanted but all she received was a message to meet up here. She wasn't expecting that person would want to meet up. She was expecting the person to demand that she send money. Seems like she had a stupid person on her hand.She asked her personal investigator to search up the phone number but it was untraceable so she carried herself to the hotel.This
The room was quiet as Kelvin stepped to the side to make a call and Arialla knew that he was going to call Mariam. How did he get her friend’s number? She wondered if Mariam met this man when she was brought to the hospital after her accident. After talking on the phone for a few minutes, the man turned to look at her, “Mariam is on her way.” “Okay,” “Before Mariam arrives I will like to introduce myself and my mother to you,” “Okay,” Ariella’s eyes were glinting with curiosity. She was going to finally find out who the handsome man was. “I am Kelvin Patrick and this is my mother Gladys Patrick,” Kelvin pushed and stared at her inquisitively. It was as if he was waiting for a reaction from her. The curiosity in Ariella’s eyes died and she frowned. Why did the two names sound familiar? Thinking about it now, she felt like she knew this man and the woman but she could not understand why she felt this way when she knew that she had never met them before. “Why does it feel like we h
Ariella peered at Kelvin under her lashes. He was here, sleeping on a chair when she woke up in the middle of the night and he was still here in the morning. He had changed out of the clothes he had been wearing in the middle of the night and was working on his laptop while sipping coffee in between. Ariella wished she could ask for a cup too, she could use a strong cup of coffee right now, but she knew that she wouldn’t be getting one if she asked. Sick people do not drink coffee. She knew that because of her mother. Ariella could not understand why he was here and even working from here. What was their relationship with each other? He wasn't her boyfriend, was he? It was not a bad idea, but he has not said anything about his relationship with her. Yesterday, when she first woke up, she thought either him or his mother was driving the car that knocked her down but then when she realized that she must have known but had forgotten about them, she did not know what to think again.
“What are you? A baby?” Kelvin scoffed at her and Ariella rolled her eyes at him before looking away. Mariam just stood there smiling creepily. “What?” Arielle huffed when her eyes landed on Mariam and she saw the smile on her friend's face. Mariam shrugged, now smiling wildly “Nothing,” “Then stop smiling like a creep,” Ariella said as she was brought down from the bed to be helped into the bathroom by two nurses and Mariam. Ariella was about to make use of the toilet when she felt something round and heavy on her stomach. She tried her best to ignore it, but it was solid, and she knew that it was not supposed to be there. She used her hand that was free of IV to poke it as soon as she was done. She did not know what she was expecting, but it remained there. “I want to look at myself in the mirror,” she told the nurses and Mariam, and they led her to it. “Please help me to raise my gown,” she requested as her head felt too heavy. She thought it would fall if she so much as bend
“I think her brain is trying to process the information. It is yet to sink in,” Mariam told him before she went to climb onto the bed with Ariella. The nurses hooked everything back before they left the room, leaving just the three of them behind. “Hey,” she called her friend who was still staring at Kelvin who was now very uncomfortable. She pushed Ariella’s hair that was in her face to the back of her ear. “Stop looking at him like that, it is creepy, and he is becoming uncomfortable,” She poked Ariella where she knew that there was no injury, and Ariella turned to face her. She put her face close to Mariam’s to whisper. “So he is not only my boyfriend but also my baby’s daddy?” Mariam nodded, “You can say that,” “How did we meet?” “Well…” they have not discussed what to tell Ariella if she asked. In fact, they have not thought of anything reasonable to tell her. “Why don’t you ask him?” She shoved everything to Kelvin. “Tell me,” Ariella whined. “No, I think it would be bett
