** Collins** I relaxed in the wind cellar, taking a sip of the hot wine that I had in my hand. My mind was on a lot of things but I had to be slow with my thoughts, to avoid thinking wrongly. My mind was disrupted when I heard a grunt from outside, I got up and walked out of the house to see what the commotion was all about. I was not surprised to see Tessa, all bloodied and wounded, with Morgan who was helping her to walk. She wouldn't say that I did not warn her against going to attack Spencer openly. I told her and she chose to do whatever was on her mind, now she has to face the consequences herself. "You don't look so good," I smirked at her. "Please, Collins, call the doctor. I can't bear this pain anymore," Tessa cried out. I loved to see her in pain because she hardly listened to anything that I said. I folded my arms and simply looked at her, Morgan helped her to sit down and she murmured thank you to her. "I told you that attacking Spencer like that was a wrong idea
"Well, who do we have here? My one and only Aunty Elizabeth," I said loudly when I approached Elizabeth where she was sitting down and patiently waiting for me to come. She scoffed, "Aunty Elizabeth? Spare me that crap, Collins. You and I know that you have been longing to get rid of Spencer and me even as I little child that you were, you never welcomed us to the family." I smirked at her, satisfied by the fact that she still remembers those moments when I was their nemesis and wanted to get rid of them so badly. This day when I tormented them until they left this city. It was just a wonderful experience back then and I enjoyed every bit of it. "I like how bold you have become over the years but I doubt that your boldness is going last long. You see, I have a lot of plans for you and Spencer..." "Yeah, we have already figured that out when your crazy sidekick tried to kill a pregnant woman. She is lucky to be alive." I clenched my fists in anger because I knew that what Tes
I sat uncomfortably at the restaurant while waiting for Aiden to come. Deep down in my heart, I just hoped that Lydia's idea was going to work well as she had said. The last thing I wanted to do was to create another chaos, it would be a bad thing to happen to us. Aiden arrived, his eyes were sunken inside from crying too much. I felt a lot of pain for him but I had to keep my composure intact. "Sydney, I'm glad that you still want to see my face after everything that had happened back then," he said to me and tried to hold my hands but I stopped him from going so before he could even reach out to touch them. "I called you here to discuss something brief with you, Aiden. I know that you won't believe me and I'm not expecting you to believe me but I have to come clean with you," I started to say. "What's going on, Sydney? I hope that you are okay?" he asked, looking very concerned about me. "I'm pregnant. I found out that I was already two months gone before our anniversary.
I was nervous... I was waiting for Spencer to come and meet me at where I was at so that we could discuss the vital things that were at stake here. Our relationship, our love life, and the fate of our destiny were all left in this one conversation that we were going to have. My thoughts were hanging and left empty and guilty, because of the crazy things that were going on in my head. The sudden decision to choose between both of them after my mind has been made up a while ago. It was as if everything was slowly turning into my fault. At this point, I wasn't sure of myself anymore, I wasn't sure of what I wanted or who I wanted to be with. Spencer walked in, his presence alone was enough for me to feel relieved. I inhaled his cologne, calmly watching him as he sat down opposite of me. The expression on his face said it all, he was not happy with me at all. But it wasn't my fault entirely, Aiden is the rightful father of my baby and should therefore know about his baby. The
Lana Bridge looked uncomfortably as she stared at the mirror in front of her. Tonight was her wedding anniversary, it has been exactly one year since she married Aaron Hale and her marriage has only been worst. She realized that her biggest mistake was accepting to get married in the first place, it was not like she had any other choice. Her elder sister, Georgina, was supposed to marry him instead. But after her family had found out that Aaron Hale wasn’t the formidable heir apparent to the Hale family key of wealth, her parents diverted the attention to her. She was forced to marry the scapegoat of Hale family and she suffered the consequences for one year. Tonight, Lana only saw a faded version of herself. Her bruises were hidden with too much makeup to avoid suspicion from outsiders. The sound of the opening door drew her attention away from the mirror, it was Christella, a maid that was assigned to her. “Young madam, you look pretty tonight,” Christella complimented. Lana
I clenched my fists in anger as I entered the empty building where Sydney was being kept in the meantime. This was supposed to be the best time to lure Spencer here and complete the mission but I'm beginning to doubt that doing that immediately would be the best thing to do.My phone rang, it was old man Lee that was calling me. He was damn thirsty for blood and torture that's why he wants me to hurt Sydney so that Spencer's emotional side will be triggered badly.But Sydney is not just any woman, she's pregnant with a child, and hurting her would be the most inhumane thing to do. Spencer would surely kill me if he found out that I hurt Sydney or I was the one behind the kidnap.“Well, are you going to pick up the call or not?” Tessa asked me.My anger increased as her annoying voice rang in my head but I had to suppress it because it wasn't the right time yet. I have to get the power that I long for first before getting her out of my way. In the meantime, I have to tolerate her annoy
** Aiden **Joyceline grabbed my shirt as soon as mother was taken away by Spencer's security team. Her eyes were filled with tears and rage as she glared right into my eyes.“How could you let them take her away like that?” She cried.I just looked at her, dumbfounded by what had happened earlier. I hated Spencer, not because he refused to be business partners with me. It was because I noticed his closeness to Sydney and I dislike that. Even though Sydney and I were torn apart by her inability to have a child, I still have feelings for her because she was the woman who I wanted to spend the rest of my life with. Unfortunately, Joyceline came along and gave me what I wanted and in turn, I had to give her what she was after - money, a home and marriage. But after seeing how Spencer was angry because Sydney was kidnapped here, a part of me was devastated as the suspicion of a blossoming relationship between them kicked in my mind. Even although Spencer denied it when I asked him about
I watched from a dark corner as Joyceline waited for Alan in the hallway. My phone was already on sound recording so that the evidence of Alan's confession would be recorded. I don't know how Joyceline wants to pull this off, but I'm hoping that it is going to work out. I needed my mother to be free and also Sydney too. And if it turns out that Alan was truly the one who helped them, I would make sure that he is punished severely for what he did.Few minutes after we waited for him to come along, Alan showed up. He was probably on his way to his room. He stopped a few steps away from Joyceline and folded his arms.“What are you doing here?” He asked.“I'm here to reason with you about something important,” Joyceline replied.Alan scoffed, ‘’And what could that be?”“What else is it going to be about? I want to hear from you how you saw Andrea making unusual calls in this house,” she said.“I don't have time for this banter with you. I've already explained it to them and I'm not going
