Tanya washed her hair twice, then dumped half a bottle of conditioner on the tangled mess, letting it soak in while she scoured her body with a liquid raspberry gel squeezed into a puffy ball of nylon. Even a practical girl deserved a few luxuries, she thought, sighing with pleasure as the hot water rinsed away the makeup that Jillian Kim painstakingly did.After coming back from the event, she didn't see Keturah, Celine has taken her out. She rushed to her room to take her bath and also run off her frustrations.She knew better than to let herself relax under the invigorating spray; as it was, she’d taken too much time already, and regretfully, couldn’t risk a long, leisurely shower. But even a few minutes was better than none, and at least she’d be clean. And she’d also be able to think straight again, something she’d had trouble with since their departure from the event. Kenneth didn't remember her yet he's doing all these for her. The more she thinks of it, the more she finds i
"Think of what happened at our house that day well before I come back from the swimming pool" Kenneth warned as he left the house to the backyard. Tanya had finished taking her and they had lunch already. Still, what Tanya didn't understand is why he keep pressing her about the incident at his father's house. Keturah hasn't returned from her Outing with Celine which gave the two enough time alone. Her eyes twinkled in admiration as she leaned by the window of the kitchen watching Kenneth swim inside the pool. 'Why is he suddenly interested in knowing why his father died? Did he remembered something?' Tanya wondered as she watched him swim. Unable to stop herself anymore she grabbed a shawl and ran outside to join him even though the evening is getting a bit chilly and frosty. Kenneth smiled as soon as he spotted her and stopped his movement by resting at the poolside. His cute dimples broke into a beautiful smile as he asked me, "Why did you have to come in this cold w
Time passed, things continued getting even between Tanya an Kenneth so much that the little Keturah realized that something was indeed going in between her father and Tanya. Despite knowing all that happened at his father's house, Kenneth has been having hard time to find anything to snitch Ryan with. Ryan became more proactive day by day. Bianca has came back to Italy and Frank, now one heard anything about him. Tanya continue playing her roles as Keturah's nanny and Kenneth's secretary and in a little time she got a savings. One day at work, The stakeholders and the designers in charge, Kenneth and his secretary, Tanya, were standing at the electronic dashboard, waiting anxiously. They had just launched new designs, and people were rushing to order, especially the product they spend the most money and resources on. Tanya was smiling widely, Kenneth stood still like a rock, his expressionless face giving nothing away. The orders were increasing rapidly, quickly surpassing 1,00
"Tanya I....." Kenneth called after Tanya but before he could finish his words she had already entered the cab and drove away. Kenneth ran his hands through his hair in frustration, he was at loss for what to do. Before she left, she had flung her resignation paper to his face angrily saying, "She wants me out of the company and so do you! because I'm not useful to you nor I'm someone useful to you. So I'll leave before you show me the way out!"Kenneth was very hurt and angry at this. Because of his lousy mouth, he had made Tanya think otherwise of him. As Kenneth stood there thinking of what to do next, someone tapped his arm from behind. He turned back and met Sarah there smiling at him like earlier. Kenneth was so vexed at this pretence smiling so much that he quipped at her, "Sarah please! Go back to your location now, I'll call you when I have cleared my head" "Did you think I came here to see you? Did you think you're that important or that valuable?" Sarah's replied shock
As Tanya Pacified the little girl, she glared hard at Kenneth who smirked at her while Keturah toyed with Tanya ’s hair. Kenneth couldn't take his eyes off her as diffrent thoughts ran though his mind. Tanya pacifying Keturah as is she was her mother added another doubt in Kenneth's mind.Unable to bear his boring gaze, Tanya faced the girl, “Look here Princess, Whenever you wanted to cry, just come to me, your father is a big bad boy, He makes people like you and me cry but we must always be strong okay?” “Did he make you cry too mom?” Keturah asked even though Tanya is not used to the new title. "Did you just call me mum?…. Ahh, yes, your father made mother cry so much that I want to spank him really bad” Tanya voiced out her frustrations as she glared more at Kenneth whose angry gaze could be compared to that of a lion. Of Course she really want to spank Kenneth for what he said when they were at the office and then leave his house. But she really pitied Keturah, Tanya thou
Tanya sat beside Frank's beside feeling very tired and sleepy.Earlier when he rushed to Frank's house, she met in a really dire situation thag she couldn't avoid so she sent him to the hospital. Frank was covered in blood and his body was all beaten up so much that he can't move again. Tanya wondered why he thought of calling her first in such a situation and can't help but smile. Frank has really changed over the years. He looked more handsome than before as he had now grown beards and his skin more lighter.As she sat near him, her stomach growled as a sign of hunger but she couldn't leave him there alone since none of her family members has shown up yet. Soon, Celine's call came in. "Sis, Turah refused to sleep unless you come back home, when will you be here? I'm sleepy?" Celine's tired voice asked. "Just tell her to go to sleep. Something came up, I might not come home tonight. I'll call Ken and inform him" She said and hung up. Tanya sat down looking sheepishly sleepy
Tanya Lewiston woke up feeling very tired and giddy. Her eyes has a hard time adjusting to the bright lights that brightened thee room. For a while, She temporarily forgot that she was in an hotel room. It was the ringing from her phone that jerked her awake. "Where are you mum?" Keturah's little voice asked over the phone. She looked around her and came to her senses immediately that she was in a hotel room. Her mind flashed back to the event that happened the previous night, she felt a blush crept up her face. 'What have I done!!' she screamed in her brain. Keturah's voice brought her back from her trance as the little girl yelled, "Mum! You promised to always sleep beside me, where were you last night?"Tanya faked a yawned and replied in a sleepy voice, "I'm so sorry princess. There's a lot of work last night and I couldn't make it back home at that time that's why I couldn't come and sleep with you""Is Dad there?" Keturah asked again. Tanya yawned again, "Your dad.... He...
Sarah Klein pulled up in front of an old mansion and wore her dark glasses to avoid anyone that might see her and recognized her. Walking into the old mansion, Sarah Klein tool off her coverings and walked in nonchalantly. "Aunt, this stepson if yours is really the most complicated human being!" Sarah said in an irritated tone. At the dinning was Mrs Linda who stood up and walked up to Sarah and patted her head. "Sarah dear, you should have a seat and calm down before ranting" she said gently and Sarah sat down grudgingly. Over the years, Mrs Linda has change so much. Her once black lush hair has grey and only a light hint of black were there. She still looked dignified and elegant, but her figure is now an old school lady. She sat across Sarah whose legs are shaking furiously with anger. She sipped some water. "Now tell me how did it go? I'm sure he can never resist someone like you" Sarah's face and voice only turned ashen, "Oh Aunt! How can he ever fall for
TWO WEEKS LATERAt Ryan and Bianca's home, They both stared at each other in silence, allowing their eyes to communicate what words could not. Thousand words that can't be conversed was exchange within this short time if eye contact.She noticed that there was still sorrow in his eyes, pains and agony like that of a lonely soul shone clearly in his face.Bianca can't help the shudder that escaped her chest. The priceless expression on his face was very nice that she raised her hand and touched his face. On the other hand, he observed the twinkle in her eyes, he can't help but be mesmerised at the lady before him. No doubts, Bianca is definitely a very pretty young woman that looked very innocent. Seeing her face to face like this, a faint smile tugged at the corners of his lips gracefully breaking the pain and agony that shown in his eyes. He wasn’t sure why he had told her that he no longer hated her, but he knew it was the truth. The hatred he once harbored had dissipated, the
After a while, Bianca slept. The doctor diagnosed that she had malaria coupled with her pregnancy and should spend more days in the hospital.Kenneth informed Celine of the news. She was the happiest when she heard that Bianca got pregnant of her second child. When he came back, Ryan nervously put his hand on her hot forehead, and the burning temperature left him distraught.He quickly took off his jacket and shirt, which were still warm from his body, and wrapped them around Bianca to shield her from the cold despite the hospital duvet around her.Bianca weakly opened her eyes. The man had given her almost all his clothes. At this moment, he wasonly wearing his black vest.His muscular body was a work of art. His rugged and untamed charm stood out in the wilderness.“Do you still feel tired honey?” Ryan asked in a raspy voice while fixating on her flushed face.“Uh… It’s cold. I feel so cold…” Bianca hugged herself and shivered.Ryan drew a deep breath. With downcast eyes, he sprea
She was used to the pain, though. “What’s the point of asking these questions now, Ryan ?Are you delusional to think that I will be glad to go back to you because of the baby?"Bianca narrowed her eyes, her gaze vulnerable. She rarely laid herself bare, and it tugged at Ryan’sheartstrings. “I loved you and always supported you Ryan but you decided to leave me for an anonymous fellow. I'm happy that we don't have to worry about all that now but did you you know the pain I experienced because of your foolishness? Our daughter is 2 years old yet you let her know that her father and mother are divorced? I don't have any reason to be with you anymore" Tanya and Kenneth stood by the doorstep watching the drama.Her strong emotions cut Ryan like a knife. His pale lips shivered, and he could not shake off the lumpin his throat.He realized that he was the monster.Ryan trapped her in a loveless marriage and nearly destroyed her.“Do you really mean it, Bianca?” Refusing to give up, Ryan
Bianca complied with the police too and was jailed for some months. Celine stopped working and left the country again. Since he came to confess his sins himself and it was a matter that has already been forgotten, Ryan was given 2 years in prison and was later pardoned 6 months later when Bianca came to pay the fine. Bianca refused to go back to Ryan after everything even though they kept meeting once in a while. As Ryan drove to the hospital, he was constantly looking at Bianca who laid at the back seat not moving. His heart raced in panic 'Nothing must happen to you Bianca. We may be divorced but I don't want you to leave me now. Please' Before he arrived at the hospital, he pinged Gaston's contact but it was left unanswered.Then he used voice mail to say, "Bianca fainted and i have taken her to the hospital, meet us at People's hospital"In the next moment, he pulled up at the hospital parking lot and took Bianca into the hospital in frenzy. The nurses brought the stretche
"How dare you do all these without my permission?" Kenneth's stoic and commanding voice asked angrily. Standing beside him was Tanya, Ryan and Frank. Celine was so shocked that she almost yelled in fright. Bianca was surprised too, she doesn't know how Tanya and Kenneth who was said to be out of the country was here. "Ryan, did you call them?" she asked with a shaky voice. Ryanwalked up to her and held her, "Did you think i will refuse what you say? or have you forgotten that you are my mother now?"Bianca smiled generously at this praise before facing Kenneth and Tanya. "I am so sorry Tanya that I didn't tell you abou this beforehand, I thought we could handle it alone"Tanya only smiled, "You don't have to be sorry sis, we are here now" Kenneth was still looking very angry and intimidating. "Celine Griffin I am asking you, did you know about any of this?" Seeing that she was beaten at her own game and was now at the mercy of her brother. Celine's heart jumped to her throat. S
The next day, Bianca had left the cooking class to drop Chiquita as usual when a red sports car whizzed past her and stopped. The driver lowered the shades and from it, Celine Griffin stuck her head out. "Hello sister-in-law?" Bianca furrowed her eyebrows. She wondered who the little witch as she had called Celine knew where she was and wondered why she came to her. Bianca entered the car and then Celine drove to a seaside. In the car, Bianca had secretly pressed and hold the volume button of her phone like Ryan had set it in case of emergency when they were still married. When they landed, Celine paced up and down while Bianca sat at the bonnet of the sports car looking at her. She guessed that Celine is now aware that her cover was blown. Indeed Celine knew because she had planted a voice recording device under Ryan's bed. "What is it? Why have you brought me here?" Bianca asked.Celine scoffed. "You are kinda smart, which I like, mind telling me why you done all you done? I
Meanwhile at Celine's workplace, Rose stormed in with her eyeballs looking like a fiery pit. Celine now work at Pyramid High as a music and Dance teacher as that is where Keturah attends too. She had gave Rose her card before leaving that day. He gestured his accompanists to leave before facing Rose. "What gives you the audacity to come to my workplace, did you want me to be suspected? are we that close for you to have the guts to come uninvited?" Rose smirked and took a smile knife from the make up kits and shoved it towards him, "Celine Griffin is this our agreement? You want to kill Jesee so you sent an assassin to him without my knowledge is that what we agreed on?"Celine hissed and sat down, "What else should I have done? That bastard had the audacity to kill my father did you expect me to let him live? If not for you who said I should let him suffer I would have killed him a long time ago!" Rose stood in daze for a moment to process the news. Celine wasn't looking gentle,
By the time Rose arrived at the hospital, Ryan has been treated again and was now better.She walked into the room and met him watching the TV. As Rose was about to pulled the chair to sit, her leg slipped from the high heels she was wearing causing her ankle to sprain.Ryan jerked from his bed with worry. "Are you okay?"Rose rolled her eyes and sat down as if nothing had happened and sat down, "I should ask you that, I heard that an assassin came here today?"Ryan sighed, "Are you asking me that silly question? You and the fool you work for probably sent him""Don't worry, Once you have suffered enough we are going to send to where you will only rest and do nothing but rest" Rose replied.There was a moment of silence between the two of them while Ryan stared at Rose like a lost puppy. Rose noticed his gaze and quipped,"Why are you looking at me as if I owe you something or like I hold you life?""No, I was just wondering why you're doing all these. Bianca will really be worried w
Ryan Griffin slowly opened his eyes, squinting at the sunlight streaming in through the window. It took him quite a while to finally sit up with some effort.His head and legs was bandaged. It took him a trillion minutes before he realized that he was in an hospital.Ryan hasn't regained any of his memories by this time. He felt his head throbbing in pain and tired to stand up ans grab the cup of water nearby.He was unaware of everything happening outside, as he sighed uneasily. It was when he laid on the bed and closed his eyes with much difficulty before he realized that he was involved in an accident.Ryan's heart throbbed as he remembered this harsh day. It was actually when he was leaving Dark Lake after visiting Bianca.The door creaked open with a gentle push.He lifted his head and looked toward the direction of the door, only to see a doctor wearing a white coat and a face mask walking in.The door took the water and propped Ryan up to fed him. At this time, Ryan is now bett
