Beep. Beep.The low beeping sounds of the ventilator and the tubes attached to various parts of Sarah’s body as she lay in coma in the hospital bed, were punctuated by whimpering sounds from Amelia sitting close by.She and the many doctors attending Sarah had forced Henry and Dr Sam to go for a shower after two whole days of non-stop watching over her. Dr Sam had got down to assisting the hospital’s doctors and had personally monitored Sarah’s CT Scan, MRI and a host of other tests, after which they had decided to move her from the ICU to a VIP room where one of the three could stay until Sarah was stable enough to be flown back to the States.They had kept the accident secret from the Hill family for now as they did not want father Theodore Hill to hit the panic button.“I couldn’t protect you even though I knew Robert is a scoundrel with criminal bent of mind”, Amelia whimpered, massaging Sarah’s limp hands and feet.“I couldn’t protect the little precious soul inside you”, Amelia
Chapter 41 :“Milly! You think you can hoodwink me with your hair bleached golden?”, Peter had walked in breaking Amelia’s reverie.Amelia jumped up in shock with her mouth opening like a goldfish.But before she could utter anything, another rich baritone interrupted.“Who are you calling Milly? You’re making a mistake Mr Publisher, Peter. She is my fiancée, Amelia, a childhood friend of both mine and Sarah’s. We all grew up together”, Henry walked in and stood in front of Peter, with his taller built dwarfing the man with brooding and crafty grey eyes.Amelia startled in shock. Fiancée? Grew up together? Why was Henry covering up for her?Dr Sam walked in next adding to Peter’s discomfiture. “We understand your concern for Sarah, writer Honey for you. Rest assured, we will inform you the moment she recovers, but for now, lets not crowd around her, and importantly, not say anything that might make the current situation more stressful for any of us. We are going through a bad time Mr P
Chapter 42 :“They took your mobile forcibly? What’s happening?”, Amelia exclaimed.“This is getting highly curious. The Thai Police showed us footage of Robert pushing Sarah. They said someone had anonymously sent them the footage not wanting to be involved. Was that fake?”, Henry asked flabbergasted.“No worry. No worry. I have another mobile”, the old woman vendor gave the two a toothless smile. I transfer footage there. I show you if you buy me a mobile”, she said.“We will”, Henry promised.Soon the woman brought out another mobile hidden under the folds of her dress.“New Mobile?”, she asked smilingly. Henry paid her fifty thousand Baht “Too much”, the old woman returned forty thousand Baht to Henry saying “Only 10,000 Baht for very good phone.”Amelia hugged the woman touched by her honesty and told her to keep the money as gift, but the woman wouldn’t take more than 10k.She next showed the young couple a video wherein the tourist was maybe capturing the scenic view. It was a
Meanwhile, mayhem had broken loose at the Hudson Manor after Robert’s mother Carol Hudson and sister Larissa learnt that Sarah was Theodore Hills’s daughter and also the world famous author Honey C. whose books earned enormously and who was pursued by Hollywood film producers to sell them her book rights !“We have done hara-kiri mom!”, Larissa whined.“ Who would have ever thought that obese koala bear who slogged day and night without complaining is someone born with a golden spoon in mouth and had a battery of servants and maids at home to do the menial jobs she did here?”, Carol palmed her head in dismay.“Cornelius, advice, what can we do now to somehow get into good books of the Hills family?”, Carol cried wringing her hands. “Mercifully Robert has not yet finalized the divorce so legally Sarah is still Robert’s wife. Maybe we can capitalize on that?”“Foolish woman, Sarah has signed the papers. It is your son who is dilly dallying. If the Hills get on that, the divorce will be
“Madam I think we should inform Sarah about this development”, Rosie spoke out the moment the troublesome conniving duo left.“How many times have I told you Rosie Ma not to call me Madam! You call my husband and his brothers by name, Sarah by name. You’re a mother figure to all of them. They call you Rosie Ma. How and why am I different?”, Nancy’s cold demeanor disappeared the moment the door closed and she hugged Rosie.“Let me call you Madam. You’re the eldest daughter-in-law of the family and are the rightful lady head of the Hill empire after the death of Mrs Hill”, Rosie said wiping a tear. “Edward your husband was in middle school and the others were younger when their mother died so they fondly started calling me Rosie Ma and have continued ever since. They have showered lots of affection on me and I never felt the need to have my own children. You too are like a child to me. Also like the Hill children you too are humble, kind, respectful and very affectionate. I am blessed.
Chapter 45 :Mathew Hill, the second son of business tycoon Theodore Hill was introvert by nature from his childhood. Cocooned in himself, he preferred spending time playing and watching different sports. From soccer, tennis to car racing, parachuting, skiing and water sports, he excelled in every sports and even represented his University in some of them.Additionally, his business acumen was the sharpest among the three brothers, with some business heads vouching that his astuteness, acumen and business foresight was even better than the shrewd Theodore Hill.Blessed with chiseled features just like his other two brothers, tall and toned physique, deep set aquamarine blue eyes, sun tanned skin and dark brown haired Mathew had branched out the Hills Industries into the power sector, solar manufacturing, defence and aerospace.His aura and reputation were such that very few could fathom that he had a fun side to his character as only a handful of people apart from his family and sele
Sitting in a dark corner of the luxury hotel’s night club, Jessica who was waiting for her date for the night who had not arrived yet, spotted Sophia Baker and her beau in their romantic reverie. Her entire being started burning with jealousy.Why does everyone she knows manage to ensnare some magnificently handsome and young men while she has to wait for a potbellied middle aged man to date and pay her bills?, she cursed her fate, wondering who the demi- God lookalike drool worthy man was.She bent over to a hustler sitting in the adjoining sofa with gaudy make –up, similarly waiting for a client.“Hi Anne! Do you know the man dancing with that slut in white gown? I kinda know her, so curious about who she managed to screw.”“Oh my God! He is Mathew Hill, the middle son of business tycoon Theodore Hill. Is he a decillionaire?”, the hustler gushed. “Who is that whore? How did she manage to wrap the walking stack of dollars around her cunt? Why can’t I ever get such luck? God !”, she
Chapter 47 :Isabella Sinclair groaned and palmed her head as she opened her mobile and unblocked Jessica Williams. Her eyes rounded in shock seeing the super hot Mathew Hill with another woman. She had been busy visiting top designers for the super rich and shopping for her attire and accessories for the evening dinner with the Hills through the past few days which had left her exhausted. She was getting a body massage at a luxe spa when Jessica’s irritating phone calls started disturbing her.To Isabella, Jessica was a pest, always sweet talking her to somehow slide her way to bag some projects which the Sinclair Industries might throw like crumbs to a stray. As Jessica couldn’t manage any appointment with her canny father, shrewd business magnate Albert Sinclair, she was desperately wooing the daughter to make a side entry. Isabella however did not generally mind the sycophancy as it gave her ego boost and also added to her string of followers, but sometimes it got to her nerves. L
“We can’t allow this. It will be terribly embarrassing for both families. Besides contrary to what you say, I don’t see any motive. My sister has already left Robert Hudson and signed the divorce papers. Dr Sam will get nothing further by demonizing Robert”, Henry reasoned, “And now let me go and check on my sister.”Henry excused himself.“But sir..”, the Thai Police started to speak but was interrupted by Henry again. “I’m sure this is a wrong track. Didn’t the hooded fellow who carried out the dirty job say that the man who commissioned the job spoke to him in fluent Thai language? Sam doesn’t speak Thai at all.”“But he could have covered his tracks and hired someone to speak on his behalf”, the Police reasoned.“What the hell!”, Henry was angry. “This is a wrong track I tell you. I think that bastard Robert himself planned this whole thing out to come out looking like a saint and frame Dr Sam as he is desperate to get Sarah back after he realized she is rich.”“You should investig
“Sister save me from the hell cat”, Mathew whined beseeching Nancy, making her double up in laughter.“Sarah and grandma are the only two people who can make dad cower and take a back seat. Since Sarah is indisposed, try grandma. Though I have doubts whether she will listen to you. She’s been crying herself hoarse since the past two years that you’re getting old. She even spotted a grey hair on your head!”, Edward laughed at Mathew, trying to scan through his thick dark brown hair and find more greys.“Goddammit! I’m just 28. There was no grey hair on my head. I’m sure you guys put some powder and instigated grandma!”, Mathew retorted, making even the matronly Rosie laugh and shake her head at the bantering. She loved the Hill family children and knew that Isabella’s coming into the family would spell bad news.“Just because I don’t have a steady girlfriend doesn’t mean I can be paired with just anybody! Am I a cow that the Hills bought which can be sold and led by the noose to be fas
