Eve opened her eyes to the morning her body was properly covered with the duvet and her windows were shut the heater was turned on. He must’ve been here in her room. He was the only one who could have done this. Her hands grabbed her phone if she’d missed a call when she was asleep but there was nothing. She walked out of the room, Detective Ernest was downstairs with some of the cops. She glanced over them but Wesley wasn’t with them. “You’re awake?”She nodded. “You came early.”“That’s because you woke up late.” He looked up at the clock on the wall. She followed his gaze and smiled nervously. She walked into the kitchen. “You haven’t gotten a call yet have you!” Detective Ernest yelled towards the kitchen. “Nothing yet.” She yelled back and had water down her throat. She found a meal that was covered in the cabinet. She half smiled. He was probably the one who did this. “I think he’s gonna call soon so be ready, you would ask to go alone but don’t worry we would be behind yo
“I’ve got a call,” Eve announces waving the phone in the air.Damn! She knew how long she had been staring at her phone, hoping for it to ring. “C’mon take the call,” Ernest said to her. She nodded and took in a deep breath. “Tell me where you have my mother.”“I’m sure the cop is listening, it’s gonna be a fair warning. Anyone who gets cross is gonna die” his cold voice said. “You’re the only one who could come to too close Evie. The others should back off or don’t even come close, if they do, I would have her head off her neck.”“You don’t have to go this far Jack.”“Don’t fucking say shit to me!” He growled. She raked her fingers over her head and turned her face to the wall. “You know the building jumped off from, you should come there.”“You were the one who pushed her.” She snarled.“I’m not that heartless. If you want your mom and heirloom, you know where to come to find me. You should pay with your life.” He hung up on the phone.Eve turned to stare at them. She throws h
“The cops are still out there and they’re probably planning something. I don’t wanna get caught.” He looked at the roof if he could catch a glimpse of any of the cops. Eve groaned and got up, she stood on her feet. And dust her hands from the sand. “I don’t know you could do this, let my mom go. She’s not in all of this.” Jacky nodded as if he was in deep thought. “I would let her go after you opened the box.” He point to the box that was seated on Linda’s thighs. Eve's eyes went to it and took them back slowly to him.Linda shook her head. Telling her not to do it. “If you’re gonna prove stubborn, we have another alternative!” He hits her over the head. She fell to the ground and groans. He went to her and grabbed her hair. She pulled out the pocket knife and stabbed his wound. “Argh!” He yelled. “Fuck!” He screamed out, as blood oozed out of his arms. His hands went off her hair. And was groaning in pain. She went over to her mother and began to untie her hurrying. Dust we
Eve went to them. A hand went over her mouth, Wesley was laying in front of Jacky and he was the one who had hit his body on the car. His hands then let go of Wesley’s chair and he coughed out blood from his mouth. “I warned him, he shouldn’t have ended up this way.” Dust said as he was being pushed into the car with his handcuffs. The ambulance took them into the car and they drove to the hospital with Eve in the car with them. Her hands held Wesley’s. And she was sobbing quietly. He had a stabbed wound on the side of his stomach, and though it didn’t quite appear deep she was scared too. Anything could happen and she doesn’t want anything to happen to him yet. He didn’t sustain many cuts from the fall. She guessed he would have to make it out.They stopped at the hospital and pulled them out, taking them into the hospital. “Emergency!”Eve was taken in as well to have herself fully treated. She was seated on the bed while she stared at Jacky as they were trying to revive him.
“Are you feeling any pain?” The doctor at his side asked him. Wesley shook his head at him, he wasn’t feeling much pain except in his arms. “I think I’m fine.” He held his gaze up at him. “What about him?” He remembered they fell and he didn’t get hurt but he flipped him over. Why did he do that? Didn’t he hate him?Why would he save him when he wanted him dead?“He died, he was badly hurt and besides the deep sore in his arms which he didn’t treat and was already eating him in, there was a huge fight in there. The boy's father won’t let anyone close to him and he made sure a scene...” He shook his head at Wesley.“You don’t have to say more.” He looked away from him. He had already gotten what he wanted to hear. He didn’t have to fill him that details.“What about the lady, the pretty one with the blues eyes is she safe?”He nodded his head. “She’s in the other room, it’s the room closest to yours and she’s fine. There was no cause to worry.” Wesley shut his eye, he was stuck wi
Kenneth chuckled lightly. “I was waiting for you so I could leave you, glad you’re alive.” He nodded his hand at him. ”You were an incompetent father since you run away and left him in the orphanage and you blamed me for all your miseries and hated me. You couldn’t even take care of the only son you had. But you choose to take out all your misery and ill fate on me.” “If she didn’t take you out of the street into our lives. We won’t have been this way. I would forever hate you.” He point a finger at him and then stared behind him. “...probably she’s your mother. You should be ashamed of the kind of son you’ve..” he hissed and turned to leave. “I know you have always hated me, I didn’t expect more from you.” He turned to Vero and told her to follow him into the room without giving any reply to Kenneth. “Who was that man?” She asked when they got into the room. And then looked outside the door. “A foster parent.”“104 you’ve got a visitor.” Wesley was waiting in the visitor room
“Court arise!” Everyone stood up from their seats. “We May proceed with the session.” They sat down and waited.They were gonna hear the verdict today, Eve had been so anxious over everything. She wanted it to be over so quickly. Cartel had confused about everything he did and he pleaded guilty to his charge. “...I didn’t know what happened, he suddenly wanted to talk to me about what happened. They were the ones who organized the boys in robbing your Father.” Detective Ernest told her. She thought he wanted to be a witness to the case they couldn’t find him when the process started. Detective Ernest had been disappointed that he wasn’t found. They didn’t know if he left the country or not. She keep glancing over, everything she was at the courthouse but he never came to her. “I shouldn’t have trusted him.” She said to herself. “I shouldn’t have believed when he said he was gonna be a witness in the case. I should have doubted he was telling the truth.” Today was the last day
Wesley groans as he sat up from the single bed. He was in hospital cloth. He stared over at the clock. It was evening. He looked over at the clock, it was evening. He exhaled and took the water on the table and took a gulp of it and then dropped it back on the table. “You are awake?” The voice said and came into the room. She slide the door shut and walked to the bed with the basket of fruit she dropped them at the table and took a seat beside the bag. “You suddenly slumped in the living when you came back from work. And then I had to call the ambulance and they came to get you. You need unconscious ever since.” She told him since he might want to know how he ended up here. “How long has it been?” He stared at Vero. “Over a week.” She sighed, she had been worried something might have happened to him. “What happened at the court?”That was what he was he was worried about, wasn’t he worried that he had to take care of himself more than anything? He should have taken care of his
“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
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
“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
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
