FLOWERS OR DOLLARS The kiss was all a joke
36****Maurice's POV****On this day, I summoned the courage to confront Natalie on her marriage with Kevin Fidell. Mr. Mark had earlier decided to give all of his interested employees a treat. ‘All work and no fun makes a grumbling employee!' he had said after the general meeting on Friday. A picnic was stated to take place the next day at Tropicana Beach, which was situated at the outskirts of Esturnburg. I woke up that Saturday, happy and energetic. Opening my blinds, I inhaled the fresh air, happy for a great morning. Having freshened up some minutes later, I began to prepare for the picnic, putting my paper towels, a foldable umbrella and a water bottle into my beach bag. With that done, I wore my flip flops and hat, wiping my spectacle clean before wearing it back and adding a sunglass to my bag just incase.My mother had prepared pan cakes and creamy coffee for breakfast, so I stopped at the kitchen to take a few bites of pan cakes and some sips from the coffee. I walked towar

37***Natalie's POV***Two days after, the sound of chirping birds woke me up. It was Monday and I was to get ready for work. Checking the alarm clock that stood close to my bed, I roved my eyes to see the time. Thank God it was 5:30 am! I needed more sleep and I definitely wasn't ready to step my foot in Venus Group today. I was simply avoiding Maurice. I tossed on my bed, clinging tightly to my giant pink teddy bear and even when I tried to catch some sleep, sleep never came. My thoughts wandered on Maurice, to Kevin and then to Jane. ‘Was I a bad person to have soiled her plans on having Maurice as her man?'I still couldn't bring myself to answer that. The alarm clock came blaring soon, and it was only then I discovered I had been tossing for an hour. “Urrrrgggh!" I groaned, covering my ears with my pillow and trying to put off the damn clock with my left hand. The alarm clock seemed far and I kept stretching my arm till I landed on the floor. “Oucch! Shit!"That same moment,

38****Kevin's POV****Natalie was beaming with smiles, alongside my mom at a corner in my room. In three days, I will be getting married to the only woman who had been able to capture my heart. For the past years, I never retained any woman I slept with, but Natalie was different. The first time I found out about her, her identity and face struck my fancy and then it multiplied when I realised she was my first love in High School, and we were oportuned to meet again.I sighed, ‘I should have put an end to my plan then, right?' Hapless as I was, I couldn't.Natalie had built a very cordial relationship with my mom, the very moment they met at my place. Today was their second time meeting. “My pretty pretty daughter in law!" My mom teased. Natalie smiled widely in return, I could tell from where I stood that she was blushing. “Let me leave you both to get the privacy that you need" my mom continued, winking playfully. Natalie and I shared eye contacts. “Catch y'all later, okay?!"
FLOWERS OR DOLLARS Wedding eve
39****Natalie's POV****Avoiding Maurice since the event at the beach was successful until today. It was the eve of my wedding and despite badly wanting to avoid the office, I needed to clear an important document on my desk. The building the Fidell's had offered us were sparsely furnished with smart technology like theirs, bigger and better than the former company. As I worked on my document briskly, I heard the low level staffs discussing in low tunes. “This office is way bigger than the one we earlier worked from! Should we be happy the fire had razed the former office instead?" A staff jocularly asked and the others roared out laughing. I knew it came from Judas, the stout long haired messenger. He had worked in Venus Group for straight five years. Why would he say that to his colleagues? No wonder he was named Judas!. The masses had expressed their surprise on how we were able to bounce back in a couple of days. What was there to hide? My dad attended a few interviews and th

40****Kevin's POV****Maurice stood looking at me, his eyes bright with fury. I saw him tight his fist and loosen it. “Let's get this damn meeting done!" He said, heading towards where I sat. “Of course we should, loser!"“Sit!" I ordered. Maurice stared menacingly at me for a few seconds, before he began to head to the empty bistro chair at my side. ‘Was this pauper thinking he could do anything stupid?!' I scoffed, sipping from my glass again before calling to one of my men. “Get another glass, Bill!" I ordered. Bill went in and in a flash he arrived with a glass in his hands, opening the bottle of spirit and pouring it to the empty glass. “I don't drink during business meetings" Maurice said. “Touché!" I chuckled, waving Bill away. Raising my glass, I spoke to Maurice “I'm only drinking because I am in a happy mood, boy! I mean... who won't be happy he's getting married to an absolute pearl like Natalie Escobar?!" I laughed, almost choking on my drink.Natalie's POV Quit
FLOWERS OR DOLLARS Today was meant to be our wedding
41****Natalie's POV****The eerie sound kept ringing in my ears. ‘What just happened?' It took me a few minutes to realize Maurice who I thought had rode safely out of Kevin's abode was lying unconsciously in front of us, in the pool of his own blood. Everyone stood transfixed as I staggered to Maurice. Slowly, I began to whimper before my tears began to flow freely down my cheeks. “Mau... Mau...rice" I stuttered, shaking in utter confusion. “Mau...rice!" I shrieked, my voice piercing through the dark night. I jerked him repeatedly as I cried. Two of Kevin's aides moved forward to where I sat, already soiled by Maurice's blood. They took me out even when I was reluctant as Kevin has ordered, and began to lift Maurice up to place him in one of Kevin's car. The ambulance was yet to arrive. The moment the two men began to proceed to Kevin's car, we heard the sound of running footsteps. “Chase him! Make sure you catch that nincompoop!" Kevin ordered. Three of his other aides ran i

42****Natalie's POV****The V.I.P ward of the The Oaks Medical Center was greatly sparse, neatly arranged and painted in white. While I walked to Maurice's bed, I found out that four other patients were present in the room. With two patients, placed on an oxygen machine and another on the farthest end who convulsed rigorously causing the people around her to panic and call for the doctor. Two nurses clad in blue scrubs came in first, a female and a male. The male made to check the equipment connected to the female patient, before the doctor arrived to find out what was amiss. I diverted my attention, glancing at the reason I had walked into the room in the first place. Maurice laid still without his glasses on. I could see the trace of his frame line at the side of his eyes. I fondled his hair tenderly, recollecting my time as a patient in the hospital. I took his hands in mine patting them warmly, still staring intently at his shut eyes. An hour later, Maurice's mother, Louisa Br
FLOWERS OR DOLLARS Green's brother came for me
43“Sir!" A tactical officer called the attention of Sebastian Wills. Standing at his door, which was widely opened. He was tall and huge and had the demeanor of a bouncer. Sebastian diverted his gaze from the file he had been peering at, and beckoned on him to get in. “Alvan..." He said, granting him permission to go on. Alvan began, “Just like I presumed, sir" he said. “The event that happened two nights ago has confirmed my research"“What research, Alvan?" Sebastian asked, folding his arms. “The heir of Zurich Corporations, Kevin Fidell, is the prime suspect. I think he is the gang leader we have been trying to get our hands on" Alvan continued. “Mmmmh..." Sebastian exclaimed, rubbing the side of his face and sucking his teeth. “That's true, I have been making my findings too"“However, he won't be the only one to be investigated on this issue" Sebastian continued. “There's more work for you and the boys, Alvan..."“Get the gun man too" Sebastian added, looking back to the

72“I think we need to leave, your dad's food is getting cold!" She managed to say, she didn't want him to notice just how jittery and nervous she felt. He flashed a smile as he stood very close now, and Jane looked at him, admiring his beards and eyes. She couldn't stop staring at his eyes. His stare was still fixed at Jane. Making his eyes duller and licking his lower lips, Kevin leaned in more and more. ‘The effect Jane had on him!' Kevin couldn't dispute the fact that Jane was the first lower class girl he had ever fallen for, she would never had been his type before his days in prison but there was something about Jane! He couldn't help but appreciate the fact that a bit of his personality changed after his stay. Jane was fire!.Their nose touched now and they felt each other's breathe on their faces. Jane began to close her eyes tightly, exhilarated that Kevin made to kiss her. His nose grazed hers, and then went down her cheek, before she heard him whisper softly. “I'd try
FLOWERS OR DOLLARS Crazy chemistry
71Jane walked brisky, and halted two steps forward. “What the fuck am I doing?!" She mused, her face wearing a little frown. Biting her lips and giving in to a wide smile, she remembered the naughty dream she had last night about Kevin. ‘How could I think of him so much that he appeared right in my dream?' she muttered unconsciously. Wasn't she stupid to fall for Kevin? She thought. Kevin had also been involved with Natalie. Why was she always attracted to anyone around Natalie?! She thought further, giving a loud sigh. She was definitely crazy! Yes. If Kevin still had a thing for Natalie, she would be flung back into another period of heartbreak and desolateness. She would rather kill whatever she felt for Kevin now and save herself of such stress, but could she?.Heading a few steps forward, she stopped right in her tracks as she discovered Kevin had been standing, his hands was tucked in his pocket and his face gazing directly to the floor, switching it to the other side of t
FLOWERS OR DOLLARS Now, forever and till the end of time
70****Natalie's POV****The reception area of The Arnold Healing Center was almost the same as the Oaks Medical Center where Maurice's first surgery was conducted. However, I could spot that the current hospital was more sparse and equipped. Not so surprised, the Fiddell's baffling wealth was never hidden!.The sudden deep breath Maurice gave as they placed him on the stretcher made me panic. I sucked in a deep breath too, shutting my eyes, before the masculine voice of an advanced doctor jilted me out of my solemn moment. “You will be just okay, pretty lady!" The doctor said with a smile, he was dressed in shrubs. I couldn't help but smile back despite how I felt. He was so cool, regardless of the fact that he had aged. Was this Kevin's grandfather? Dr. Arnold?.“Dr. Arnold... I think you're Mr. Brown's wife, right?" He asked, offering a handshake.“Yes, I am" I replied with a smile, taking his hands. I should have noticed he was Kevin's grand father the moment I beheld his face.
FLOWERS OR DOLLARS His new friend
69****Kevin's POV****I painted the white part of my drawing paper, applying the red hue I had lightened with a white. As I stroked the brush repeatedly on the paper, I was satisfied at the exact color of redness it reflected. ‘Perfect!' I whispered. The sound of approaching footsteps caught my attention and I darted my eyes to the entrance of my little pleasure workshop. Yes! My pleasure workshop. For now, I painted every and anything my mind could think of to retain the little joy I felt since I arrived Carolton, hoping to enlarge that joy soon. Peering closely, I discovered it was my grandfather's worker, Jane. Our eyes met, and she looked away, letting her sight fall to her feet. In her hand was a basket of food. I had requested that Dr. Arnold inform Jane of my need for lunch that afternoon. “It won't be bad to know how her food tastes right?" I had asked my grandad. “How her food taste?" He returned the question with disbelief, evident in his eyes. “You have no idea of J
FLOWERS OR DOLLARS My husband needs to be alive
68****Natalie's POV****I just couldn't believe my ears when the doctor came up with another news after giving the diagnosis he did earlier. “I'd advise your husband should be moved to another hospital. His condition is critical and he needs the best hands to ensure a successful surgery" the doctor suggested. I looked on not knowing the best way to react. Already, I've been tired of weeping. My head felt way too light. Maurice made to talk. “Where do..."“Don't speak Maurice, please..." I sauntered.Maurice was very conscious unlike his first stay at the hospital, but now his condition was actually worse like the doctor had said. He was unable to stand upright now, and though he could gaze at me. All he did was lie on the bed, wearing a sad look on the face. “I will make very careful enquiries on the best hospital to be referred to"“Do have a nice day, Mr. Brown and take enough rest. The nurses would check in from time to time" he said, placing his stethoscope back to his neck
FLOWERS OR DOLLARS Stuck in my head
67“Granny! Granny!" Jane called, scurrying to the kitchen. “What about this? How does it look?" She asked, turning around in a circle. The emerald wrap dress she wore, danced around with her. “This is just perfect! You look beautiful as always my pretty little darling!" Her granny complimented, giving a tired laugh. Jane laughed along, going behind to clasp her granny's shoulder while resting her head on them. After visiting Dr. Arnold two weeks before, they had come to a conclusion that Jane would deliver food for him at lunch and attimes for breakfast if he had to leave his home on time, this would be passed across as a notice to her through a text or call. A compilation of the doctor's favorite meals were written down, and Jane took proper note of them. The first day she was dressed in a shirt and pant, and had gone to deliver bento boxes that contained smoked salmon bagels, roast beef, brie sandwiches and grilled vegetables wrapped in hummus. Dr. Arnold found that funny. He
FLOWERS OR DOLLARS The best idea yet!
66****Kevin's POV****Still pissed at what just happened, I surged forward. Wondering why the lady I had ran into, hit me so hard that my cap had to lose it's position. ‘What the fuck was she thinking?!'She succeeded in revealing my face, something I never wanted. Nobody should know that Kevin Fidell was back and out from prison. I couldn't bear to be treated or looked upon as a bad person, the prison had placed a long term stigma on me. One that would go as much as lasting forever. Now, I appeared like the lowest of low lives but I don't freaking care!. Everyone thinks of me as a deranged person. No, I was fully sane, but this is my resort to hiding my identity. Back in East Esturnburg Penitentiary, the law had made a decision that ended up in my favor. My sickness was too severe to still retain me, else my condition would get worse and so I was granted my freedom. Just like that! My only duty was to make sure I never got myself into any mess, else I would receive an even harder
FLOWERS OR DOLLARS Life brought the unexpected
65****Natalie's POV****Maurice took a break for one whole month, before he considered going over to his new office in Lauren & Co, the commercial building his office was situated. That one month served as a very intimate honeymoon for the both of us, and the environment of our abode made it even more enjoyable. Maurice and I had wild sex in every corner of the room, the bathtub, the kitchen, verandah, on the big cabinet and sometimes I was pinned against the wall. Saying I was not wowed would be my highest form of insincerity. I never believed Maurice would give me good sex, which got even better while we were at it. “Every man has wild thoughts for a woman he loves, Nat. I was simply respecting you and your body" he had said, when I informed him of my astonishment. The next one week after our one month of honeymoon, threw me into the loving wife mood. I prepared breakfast early while his bath water was already placed in bathroom, woke him up with morning kisses to go in for his
