Adele's pov ".. so, we've managed to stabilize her condition, we also injected some ECPs and she's out of danger now" the attending doctor told me.ECPs... that's very smart of them to flush her system, thankfully, I told the doctor what happened immediately we arrived.I nodded and tilted my head, peeking inside and saw Jade laying unconsciously on the hospital bed."Thank you, doctor" "We are just doing our job, also, whoever it is she got in a fight with.. that person must be very strong" she said.I simply chuckled lightly, she's right though, I'm d*mn scared of Jasmine.Jasmine is someone I don't wanna trifle with or get in her bad side, I always tried my best not to offend her.When she's angry, she'll fight you with everything she got, she fights like a bull."Miss Rodgers, excuse, I have to go back and give a report""Oh, sure" I made way and she left.I turned around and walked into Jade's ward, I went closer to her and sat on the couch next to her bed.My eyes scanned ever

I giggled."You're so happy this afternoon, did something good happened?" "Yeah" he nodded."Tell me, tell me, what happened?" I asked.He shifted his gaze to Thanatos who's now standing by the end table, he's holding Davis's backpack and lunchbox."Daddy and I went to the zoo! I saw a gorilla and many big animals!" He shouted at the top of his voice."Baby, bring your voice down.. I can hear you"He shook his head, he jumped away from me and onto the sofa next to me.. then started jumping on it."I saw a gorilla! I saw a gorilla.. it's.. it's so big, momma!"I understand why Davis is very h

Tim called onto her and rushed into the room, she sent him a scolding glare.His eyes moved to his father's sleeping form on the bed, he quickly shut his mouth and waited until his mother is done."What happened?" Margret asked."Jade and Jasmine had a fight""What?!" Margret let go of the blanket and faced him fully, there's a very deep frown on her forehead."They had a fight?""Yeah... I heard it's a very big fight and Jade was rushed to the hospital"Margret fell onto the bed, she sat at the edge."I.. I never knew that a day like this would come...I never wished for my children to fight each other..." she whispered."Mr O'Briens called me and told me this himself, it can't be a lie"She frowned more."Mr O'Briens?""Oh, he's Jade's supposed husband and Jasmine's boyfriend" he replied.Margret lets out a
Jasmine pov"Hold on!" Thanatos said and rushed towards it.I shared a sofa with Davis and started going through his books, to make sure he has everything he needed."Where's your art book?" I asked him.He quickly swallowed the food in his mouth and wiped his lips with his hands."My teacher took it" he replied.I nodded and continued arranging his books.That's when I felt someone gripped my shoulders from behind, I turned and saw Adele."Hey, girlfriend" I greeted her.She rounded the sofa and sat on a free one next to mine, he snatched Davis's spoon and took a spoonful of his cornflakes in her mouth.. which made Davis started crying."Momma, aunt Adele ate my food"I glared at her, but she's simply making funny faces at Davis who in turn is crying.I smacked the back of her head, then wiped Davis's tears."Aunt Adele is a cornflakes thief, I'll punish her later.. just eat your food for now and go to school, ok?"He nodded and continued eating, though he moved his cornflakes from i
Jasmine's pov Adele glared maliciously at me, she snatched the hamburger I was holding from me.. and began to eat it."I can't believe you did this to me!" She snapped at me. "It's not my fault, you know... ""Then whose fault it is? Mine?!" she eyed me.I kept quiet and wore my shoes, I reached for my small hand bag and headed towards the door..I heard her footsteps coming behind me, so, I knew she's following me.We stepped outside and I locked my door, then we started walking down our street.. the main road is just a few meters away from our apartments."You made me wait for you, to the extent that I'm already late.. just to tell me you aren't going to work today?""I completely forgot I'll be visiting ma Gloria""Well, you can visit her after work"I shook my head, I searched in my bag for my phone.. which I found immediately."I can't visit her after work, visiting hours are over then" I replied."Is visiting her today really so important?" She asked."Yeah.. I wanna talk to h
Writer's pov Chicago_Sir Roman's resident!"Mr O'Briens" sir Roman's butler greeted Henry with a nod."Where's my grandfather?" Henry asked, ignoring Simon's greeting."He's at the golf..."Henry didn't let him finish his words, before pushing him out of his (Henry) way and he headed straight towards the golf course's direction.He balled his fist as he went, it seemed as though he's quite upset about something. He arrived at the golf course in no time, his eyes scanned the whole place.. but his grandfather is nowhere in sight.He narrowed his eyes and gritted his teeth."Simon said he's here, where is he?" He growled lowly.Just when he was about to leave, he heard his grandfather's voice behind him."I heard someone barged into my home, who's that audacious lamb?" Henry turned around at once, his grandfather walked past him into the course."Grandfather... ""Why did you barge in like that? Have you lost your manners?" Sir Roman sneered. Henry simply bowed his head, he follo
Jasmine povMy feet ran cold when I arrived outside the door of Jade's ward, I played with my fingers nervously.Behind this doors is my mother, I don't know what to say to her or how to react after five years."Baby..." Thanatos trailed off.He placed his hand at the lower part of my back, he gestured towards the door but I shook my head."Wait... I'm feeling nervous" I said.He held my face in his hand and smiled at me, he kissed my forehead."It's just your mother and sister inside, you'll be fine.. besides, you have me here" he said.I took deep breaths and nodded, he grabbed the handle and pushed the door open.We both stepped in and my eyebrows furrowed instantly at the sight before me... I faced Thanatos."You said it's just my mom and Jade, what is he doing here?" I asked pointing at my dad."I.. I didn't know he came along""But you sounded so sure that it was just my mom and Jade"He released a hysterical laugh."Baby, I'm not God, I'm not omnipresent"I glared at him and el
Jasmine's pov "I'm really sorry, Jas" Jade apologized.Apologizing after raping my man? Does she expect me to just forgive her and pretend like none of that never happened? "Jade, sorry can't cut this out, you.. you..."I couldn't even say the word, not with my mom here.. it's such a shameful act."I was your sister, how could you do that to me?!""Was?" Mom asked, looking between Jade and I."Yes, she denied our sisterhood, we're no longer sisters" I answered mom.Mom faced her with a frown, she put her hands on her waist."Jade, is that true?"Jade nodded weakly, her tears rushing down her cheeks but I quickly looked away.. I don't wanna be influenced by her crocodile tears."Because of a man? You rejected your sister because of a man? Aren't there any other man in the universe?"Jade didn't speak, she was simply crying silently. While me on the other hand, my body's shaking from anger. Like I should just continue beating her up, seeing her kept reminding me of what she did. Tha
Jasmine's pov Three weeks later"Baby, it's gonna be fine""But...""It's fine, we're just here for a normal check up" Thana told me.Ok, this is what is happening right now...We've had peaceful days, but my health kept declining... the dizziness.. sudden cold.. vomiting and stuff increased. Thana's been trying to get me to the hospital for check ups, but I kept refusing.But finally, he succeeded in dragging me to the hospital, now entering the doctor's office (aunt Grace) is now a problem. I sighed."I'm gonna be here with you, also, it's just gonna take five minutes and we'll be done" he said.I rolled my eyeballs at his words, he's talking as if he's the doctor.. what a sweet talker."Let's go" I said. He nodded and pushed the door opened, then made way for me to go in and he followed after me."Aunt" I called aunt Grace when we fully entered her office.She closed the file she was reading and lifted her head.. she broke into a full smile when she realized it's me."Jasmine,
Chicago police department!After our flight, which lasted for 3hours.. we arrived at Chicago.Peter sent our bags to Thanatos penthouse, while the rest of us decided to call at the police station. Currently, we're listening to the recorded conversation.But while this is going on, an old man whom I just got to know as Mr Roman, is glaring daggers at ma Gloria."Ahem!" An officer cleared his throat. "Mr Roman, what do you have to say about this? Did you had this conversation?" He asked the old man.Mr Roman simply glared at ma Gloria and scoffed, he refused to speak a word."I'll take your silence as a yes...""Don't waste your breath, I know you're gonna send my case to the court.. but first, I want to see my grandson" Mr Roman said.His grandson? That should be Thana's stepbrother... I looked around but there's no unfamiliar face here, it's just us."Grandfather, I'm here!" An unfamiliar voice spoke from the hallway.I turned and waited until he walked into the office or interrog
Jasmine's pov The next morning..."Is it really necessary for you guys to go there?" Adele asked.My eyes flicked towards Peter who's carrying our bags to the car, then sighed. "Yeah.."She frowned at the bags Peter's carrying, then took my hands in hers and pouted."Why are y'all taking so much bags with you? Do you plan on settling there already?"I frowned slightly, then burst into a brief laugh."Adele, we might stay for some days.. you're making it sound like I'm abandoning you""Are you not?" she asked."You're just being overly dramatic" I told her.Just then we heard a knock on the door, I wanted to go get it but Adele told me not to bother.Her flicked to my stomach and she smiled, she pushed me onto a sofa and made me sit down."You should take care of yourself now" she said, her eyes still on my stomach.I rolled my eyeballs."I told you guys, this might just be a false alarm" Honestly, I didn't want anyone to find out about this just yet, because it might be a false ala
Adele's pov I'm feeling so nervous right now, it's as if I'm sitting for an interview.Mr and Mrs Evans sat on a love sit opposite us, another gorgeous lady who look a lot like Mrs Evans...sat on a sofa next to them.She folded her arms on her chest and stared at me attentively, her stare is giving me goosebumps."So...tell us truthfully, is your father a businessman?" Mr Evans asked.I bite my lower lip, swallowed the nervous lump in my throat and shook my head."No" I answered. "He was a farmer"It's better I tell him the truth now, I can't bear the repercussions if he finds out I lied later...rich people are always powerful."Was?" He tilted his head slightly."Yes, sir...he died last year, he suffered lung cancer" I said. Mr Evans nodded, he exchanged a knowing look with his wife and her lips curved in a smile.. or smirk.. I don't know.I'm too nervous."What about you? Which of the universities did you attend?"His question made my blood ran cold, will he chase me out if I told
Jasmine's pov The officers sat opposite us, their notes, pen and recorder ready to take ma Gloria's testimony. "Mrs O'Briens, are you ready for us?" One of the officer asked.Ma Gloria took a deep breath and nodded, though she seemed a little bit nervous."Alright, let's start with.. who's Mr Roman to you?" The officer asked."He's.. he's.. my stepfather"Who's this Mr Roman everyone is talking about? How come I don't seem to know him? Or maybe I haven't seem him before."Your stepfather...." the officer trailed off and jotted down in his note, then lifted his head."... can you tell us about your relationship with him?" He asked.Ma Gloria nodded, she cradled Davis whom she's still carrying in her arms.. she had refused to lay him down."My mom got married to Mr Roman three years after my dad died, she took along with her, my sister and I.. Grace"So.. it's true, doctor Grace is truly her sister."Roman already has a daughter who's the same age as I...""Sorry to cut you, Mrs O'Br
Jasmine's pov A tap on my shoulder woke me up from my sleep, I sat up and massaged my stiffed neck... a yawn left my mouth.Wait...when did I fall asleep? weren't we just watching a movie?My eyes located the wall clock in Adele's living room, a gasp left my mouth at once... It's been two hours already.How could I sleep for such a long time? I guess the movie was too boring and I ended up falling asleep. "Jas, they are back!" Adele said.I sprang off the sofa abruptly, my heart suddenly skipped and some unknown fear gripped me..my heart started beating fast.I hope it all went well..."Jas, Clark and Thana are back!" she repeated her words."They're back?" I asked again.I turned towards Davis who's already sleeping on the sofa, I carried him on my shoulder and snatched his backpack from the table. "Em...good luck" I told her, referring to her meeting with her in-laws.She smiled and nodded. "Thank you, I think I really need some luck"Just then, her door pushed opened and Clark r
Writer's pov"Clark!!" Thanatos called his name, but Clark isn't moving.Not that he doesn't wanna move, but he's in shock and can't react. Thanatos pushed him away, but he wasn't fast enough.The bullet hit him (Thanatos) and went through his chest, just an inch away from his heart.Thanatos gasped loudly in pain, he aimed randomly and shot at whoever shot him... he clung on his bleeding chest."Thana.. I think we should retreat and think of another plan" Clark said worriedly.Thanatos focused his gaze on the retirement home ahead of him, he shook his head in disagreement."We must get my mom out today!" He got up and knocked Clark out."Peter stay and watch over him, find a hideout and hide there.. until it's all over" he told Peter."Mr O'Briens..."I glared at him, but he ignored my glare and continued."...you can't fight with those guys, they're skilled assassins""Don't make me knock you out too" he said and rushed towards the gun fire battle. **Thanatos pov Standing in the
Thanatos pov F&F eatery!"Thana, look carefully" Clark said beside me.I dropped my phone on the table and nodded at him, to let him know I'm listening...my eyes remained focused at the scene before us. We're currently sitting round a table, in a restaurant right opposite Molina's retirement home."I discovered something very interesting" he said again and paused.Can he just finish his words in a go? I have very important things to do than listening to him blab about his date."Those security men patrolling the place, can you see them?" He asked.I faced him and realized he's pointing at the security men guiding the retirement home."Yes? What's with them?" I asked, then turned my gaze back to the security men."They are spies, they're not real security men"I rolled my eyeballs and shook my head, then poured him a glass of water."Clark, tell me something I don't know" I told him, dumping the glass of water in front of him."What do you mean? I gave a very useful information,
Jasmine's pov Mike's kitchen!"Arrrrrrrgh!"Adele lets out a screeching sound, I covered my ears at once and shot her a glare.Luckily, we're out customer's coverage, else some of them would have been giving us weird glances."Shut up!" I scolded her.She slapped her hands on her mouth, but doesn't stop screaming. When she's had enough, she stopped. "I knew you'd react this way, that's why I brought you to the locker room" I told her in warning tone.She scoffed and shrugged off my words, crazy female."You mean, Elvis was sent here by your dad.. to watch over you?" She asked."Yeah""Now it all makes sense!" She exclaimed."What makes sense?". I asked.She got up, I sighed and rolled my eyeballs.. she's about to make it dramatic.Her hands behind her, she paced to and fro in front of me...she tilted her head as though she's thinking."Our behaviors throughout these years should have gotten us fired, but it didn't"Adele nodded her head, she stopped pacing and reache
