“It’s the day we’ve been waiting for!” Parker clapped his hands as he giddy followed Wesley to the office. “Today we are launching the Gemma car yep!” Wesley chuckled at his excitement, he seems more excited than he did. “Come on everyone, we’re having a party after this!” He yelled at the workers. And they cheered him. “...and Sir is gonna pay for our dinner.” He bowed with hands stretched out to him. Wesley laughed and got into the office. Parker hurried in before he shut the door. He walked up to him and stood by his side.“I haven’t seen you this happy over the month Sir. Well, I guess...” he winked. “Did you get what I ask you to?” Wesley ignored him. “Absolutely!” He dip his hands into his pocket and brought out the small box and dropped them at the table. “It’s the perfect one for you, you trust me she’s gonna love it.” He said with a lot of confidence in his voice assured that she was gonna like it. Wesley grabbed the box and opened it and then he stared at the glitte
He smiled at her and placed the ring tenderly on her finger. She stared at it, with a smile on her face. He got up on his knees, the light went out again, and the candlelight was lit and that surrounding her was the symbol of love which she didn’t know was in there at first. She couldn’t hold back the tears, she let them slide down her face. He held her face close and kissed her on the lips. His hands were over her waist as he held her close to him. Her hand was wrapped around his neck. He spun her around with a smile spread across his face. He couldn’t ask for more than this. “I love you, honey, I love you so much.”He placed her down on her feet, and smiled broadly, he couldn’t express how much happiness he felt, this was the life he never thought he was gonna have. But there he was, with the woman he loved, which had got him to believe in so much that he can. “We should have some champagne, come on have a seat and let’s eat.” She wasn’t sure she would be able to place a spoo
“Her water broke, so we were at the hospital.” Wesley panicked over the phone. He had been pacing in front of the room she was taken in. He didn’t know how long it was gonna be. “Calm down, I’m gonna be there soon,” Vero replied over the phone. “I’m trying to, I just can’t. It’s been hours in there.” His hands went over to the wall and placed them on it. He didn’t know how long but he knew he had been outside the door long enough.“You just have to calm down and everything would be fine.” How could he calm down when he could hear her painful grunts from the room? “I’ll be there soon. Don’t worry it takes a lot of time since it’s her first. I had a similar experience when I had you.” She was trying to soothe him but none of that was working. He couldn’t get away from the anxiety he was feeling. “I’ll be waiting.” He wished he won’t have to do with the sound. He ruffled his hair and kept his phone back in his pocket. He faced the wall again and then moved over to have his seat. H
“There’s a stalker outside my house, stalking me!” Her veins were launching out from its walls, restraining herself from punching the detective in front of her. Who was still giving her the lackadaisical look? Jotting nothing she said on his jotter but doing what he deemed fit. “I said.” “I heard you, but what could a stalker possibly wants from someone like you ERM Miss what?” He lifts his eyes, with a blank look down her reddish face that was soon to explode.Her eyes wither on him, and she wanted to flip at him.Slowly, her lips parted and, in a low growl, she whispered.“Eve…”***It was getting to that time of the year again, the jingle bells. For some reason, it was nothing to be happy about. Her back was against the window after she draws down the curtain. Her long golden brown hair covered her pale face and slowly sliding down into the darkness of the room. She’d been wide awake since the early hours of the morning. After she woke up from a nightmare and was peeping through
Simon was whispering to her ears when they heard the gunshot. Boom!“You’ve to…”Where the bullet came from, they’d no clue. They became more aware of the gunshot when they saw blood coming from his side ribs. “Brother…” her voice was faint, and her eyes were teary. Her brother Simon. Separated from her for five years. And now, he was shot in front of her. Before she could do anything.He fell into her arms. “I’m going to save you, nothing will happen to you, I promise.” She sniffed, taking his hand.Another bullet came. But they were able to duck it. But he was bleeding so much.“I love you, sister. I made a promise to mom and dad that your big brother will always protect you. Sorry, I couldn’t fulfill that promise.” His hand touched her cheeks and wiped her tears away. “You don’t have to protect me.” She cried, holding him. “I’m sorry… I’m more of a useless brother, I’m sorry. I’m so sorry, Eve. Don’t let them get the blue diamond.” His hand fell from her face.“Brother…” **
Eve stood when the doctor's voice came up again. And the curtains were drawn out, and Simon was rolled out of the room, into the theater. Her throat was parched, and her hand grip tightly on her chest. She went teary again, and the tears were gonna fall any minute.“I’m here, brother.” She sniffed.“You ain’t useless, I never once considered you to be that. You’re the best brother I’ve ever had. You came for me just as you promised. I was the one who failed not to recognize you…”She held his hand, running after the stretcher until it was rolled up into the room and the doors were shut against her. Even if this was going to be the last moment, he did hear what she said to him because she saw the tears that fell out of the corner of his eyes. And his lips moved. “I’m sorry.”Eve Montana, the daughter of late Montana, and the owner of Montana’s collections which were rich in artwork, sheer dazzling mystique, and gold and jewels. That had gone down in lineage. She would have been a wea
“Tag you’re in!.” “Don’t run, you’re gonna fall!”“Come get me, brother!” She stuck out her tongue at him. “I won’t let you off if I get you.”“Nah!”They ran around the beach house, playing in the water until he got her and spun her around. Her giggles filled the air, her smiles. And her laughter. His little sister. Eve.He didn’t get to say a proper goodbye.***“Cut…”“He’s losing a lot of blood” the nurse panicked, and the machine began beeping, counting down to zero. The blood won’t stop flowing, Dr. Moscow tried to patch the wound, but he couldn’t, there was another internal bleeding from his chest. “Prepare to charge!” “Joules…”“Charge!”“Joules!”“He’s gone, doctor.” “Time of death. Simon, aged twenty-six. 9:15 Am…”They finished the surgery, covering the place that was cut open and covering him with a white cloth. Dr. Moscow pulled his surgery cloth off and walked out of the room. He tried his best to save him, but he couldn’t. For some reason, he felt bad, that he h
“…believe him.” “Dr. Moscow.” Eve stood up from the chair she was, kicking his feet. He fell again since he was squatting beside her. How dare she treat him as some piece of shit! He would make her pay for this. Not only that, but he stood up with a hard glare. “How did you know him?”“I’ve known him for some time…”“He’s my closest friend.” Wesley butted in. “… Even in his disguise cloth, he’s what he told you he was, and follows him, that would be the best for you, your brother would want the same thing too.” If he were truly a billionaire, it would be a lucky charm for her. He would be a stepping stone to achieving all she wanted. “Tell her Moscow.” He stood erect, feeling his confidence back as the dusts the dirt off his jean.“It’s a simple business deal, for three months. We faked dating and get our contract wedding nobody will know, and we would get a divorce. And go our separate ways after three months.” He must surely want something from her, what was his reason for wa

Wesley left with a smile on his face. It was only three days away and he was waiting for how successful it was gonna be. He twirled the car keys in his hands and walked to the car. He was getting a car, he got into the car before he took out his phone from his pocket and dropped them at the empty side after picking up the call. “Boss,” he called. “Have you got it done, what is the report?” He ignited the car and drove out of Herbert valley. “Crystal clear.” He replied almost immediately.“You did well.” He commended with a straight face. “Thank you, Boss” he could tell he was smiling with the sound of his voice. “I’ll get you out of there and make sure you don’t get caught.” He told him strictly. “Thank you, boss.” He bowed as if Wesley could see him bowed at him. “I’ll come over or if I can’t send someone to have you bailed out. And you’ll get out immediately” “Thank you, boss.” He bowed over again. Wesley ended the call, he knew he was grateful because of how his voice soun
“....you probably didn’t know because he won’t get to tell you anything about it. Every minute of his life should be taken as precious as a year. what I treated him for wasn’t just any sickness, he saw him collapse a lot of times and the blood that was out of his nostrils at most times. It’s because of the brain tumor. If you ever leave his side one day and I might not be there. Don’t forget you might not get to see him again if it deteriorated. He didn’t want to know about it and he kept it a secret from you. Because you would only get worried about. I know if you find out the truth it’s gonna hurt you but what about the times you spent with him? I loved you but then I found out your happiness wasn’t with me, I couldn’t make you as happy as he does. He has fewer years to live if the brain tumor remained as it is for now. You shouldn’t make the decision you’re gonna regret all your life because of the one mistake he made. Everyone deserved a second chance. It’s either now or ne
“...she lied to my face, she told me she wasn’t pregnant and that she got rid of it. I just heard her say she’s fucking pregnant to Moscow!” He was yelling, he was so pissed about what he had found out. He stretched out the paper to her, and she took them where she sat on the couch.“Tell me what that is?” She narrowed her gaze at the paper.“This is a twin baby.” She muttered. “She’s having twin!” He palmed his forehead and faced the wall. “She wasn’t gonna tell me about you. She was ready to leave without me finding out about them, she was ready to leave and might not be back here!” He punched the wall with his fist. “I won’t have known about them, I would never have got to see them.” He cried with his fist still on the wall. She stood up and went to him, and she stood in front of him. “...I need to get them back, I would go down on my knees if I had to.” He had done that before to her, he went on his knees but she left him still. “I don’t know what I’m gonna do to have her b
“I know you’re mad at me that I haven’t been able to pay a visit to you. I’ve been so occupied. Don’t take that as an excuse, damn I’m sorry Moscow.” Over her hands was a rose. She dropped them at his tomb.“Never in my wildest dream did I think of meeting you here, I never had the thought of it. Not once.” Her hands went over his name on the tomb with a gloomy face. “You ended up this way because of me. I owed you a lot, I never got to say I was thankful for being part of my happy memories. I valued whatever friendship we had.” Tears slide from her eye. “Yes, friendship.” She laughed with the tears coming out. “You were like the brother I looked up to, that you’re gonna protect me, you’re always gonna be there. All my beck and call You never once failed. I wanted you to be an uncle to my kids. I wanted them to meet you.” Her hands went over her stomach. “We did it. I’m a successful heiress. And I’m planning on leaving the county soon, my documents are all ready.” She stood up fro
“Sir you’ve been working for days straight without having any chance to rest or have a break, you just go out of the hospital.” Parker was learning the door, his eyes seemed tired and dull. “We don’t have any more time, we have just a week to prepare for it. In a few days we would be launching the cars, I don’t want any errors, there shouldn’t be any mistakes.” He points his pen at him. “Go back to work.” He had the pen directed to the door. “Another all-nighter?” He palmed his forehead. “I’ve got a family Sir.”“Won’t they feed, you need to work? You can choose to quit.” He flipped the pages of the file and continued working on them. Parker sighed and withdrew from the door. There was nothing he was gonna say to him that would make him change his mind about them leaving the office. Wesley looked up when he was done. And dropped his pen, he was tired but he couldn’t admit it. He had to make it work. He went to the window and stared at the working. Was he stressing them too much?
“You’re Grey?” He whispered with his eyes widened. He touched the tip of his sleeve if he wasn’t seeing a ghost or something. “It’s you.” He blurts out and fell back from the chair. Wesley stopped whistling, he got up from his chair, and went over to him when he fell. He lift him by the collar and forced him back on the chair. His body shuddered vigorously at his touch. “How are you alive?” “Someone saved me.” The one friend he would never forget. He placed a hand over his chair. Staring into his eyes. “How did you become Wesley, how did you...?” His voice quaked. “I was surprised too how it happened but I was burning with hatred to have you down on your knees in front of me. Not as Wesley but as Grey. Don’t worry about the cops they won’t come to get you soon. You still have a lot of time with me.” He smirked and let go of his hands that were on his chair. Just today he was gonna live as Grey Hansford, the poor boy from San Francisco. Tonight he would be the pushover Grey tha
