*A month later*"I'm sorry I'd miss your big day Louisa, you know I wouldn't wanna miss it for anything, also I want to appreciate you for all you did, you are the best sister in the world" Danna said with a warm smile.After A month with the physio therapist Danna could walk on her legs alone and without the aid of crushes, she convinced Louisa she was good enouggt to go to school and pleaded with her for month to let her go to the Juliard school of art in South KoreaAlthough it was though for Louisa to leg her go that far she needed to make her happy and fulfil her promises. she pulled the pay she got from Natalie that she had kept safe and secretly processed her documents. She wanted to do it alone, it was her responsibility,not Natalie nor Melvin and definitely not Chloe's.This time Louisa had fulfilled her promise, standing behind her little sister, she watched her limp towards the aircraft and a warm smile sat on her lips while streaks of tears escaped through the corner of he
She ran up the stairs hurriedly while repeatedly checking her wristwatch. few hours earlier the CEO had called her in for a meeting to her surprise."What?...I should report to the conference hall...but--" she asked surprisingly but was in no time interrupted." Are u questioning your boss?"Melvin said sternly and ended the call abruptly. Of course it was duty time and Melvin despite being intimate and concerned about her will not in any way condone negligence."Louisa!! Now he's the CEO not Mel, you should obey" she thought as she sprang up and got dressed.While climbing the stairs in order to beat the time she missed a step on the stairs and struggled to gain balance while holding firm on the railings."Damn it Louisa!" The muttered as she bent down to pick her shoe whose heel had broken. She flapped the shoe and watched the heel dangle while she furiously bit on her lip so as to curb herself from screaming the hall down."This shouldn't be happening, why today of all days" she th
" Hello how did it go?" She asked while seated on her Royal chair with a glass of wine in her hand." Ma'am the boss chose a new face , somewhat irrelevant as the new face of Limelight, her name is Louisa Evans"On hearing that a smile spread across her face like a wild fire, her worries were gradually getting solved and her son is becoming more of human again."Make sure you support her in everyway you can, and report anything concerning her to me,.. also get her the best trainers and inform our private reporter,mind you, don't reveal herface yet and no one must know we leaked the information to the media" she ordered and ended the call." Scarlett..I will make you pay for what you did to me and my son" she whisperedNatalie sipped from her wine glass before laying it gently on on the table beside her. She clasped her hands together rose up and walked to the window."What an amazing view" she said.With her hands folded beneath her breast she sniffed in some fresh air and slowly let
Seated on the couch with legs rested on the table and the TV remote in his hand while he munch on a bowl of popcorn." Jenny!! Get me a glass of juice" he ordered at the top of his voice while smiling as he watched his favorite TV series.In no time Jenny arrived with his glass of juice ,which he took without turning to look at her then hurriedly switched to the station to the BBC news.Seeing the news is one of his hobbies,of course for an overly ambitious human, staying current and alert is their topmost priority.Few minutes later he was done ,or so he thought. He stood and got the remote,just as he was about to hit the power button, an intriguing entertainment news popped.Normally entertainment wasn't his cup of tea, but that particular one was definitely his cut of tea."Lime light reveals her new face in name of Louisa Evans" he read out.He went mute for few seconds lost in thought." Could it be true? My Louisa to be the face of Limelight?" He asked repeatedly.He suddenly sm
Jenny patted the bed repeatedly from her sleep. She rolled to the other side of the bed to cuddle her fiance but hit the floor."Ouch" she cried out while rubbing her butt frantically." Alexis! Alexis! " She called as she checked different sections in the house.Jenny was a heavy sleeper, and it often takes her few minutes to completely wake from her sleep." He's not home ?" She muttered as sank back in the bed.Minutes later she slowly recollects what happened in the evening, how he left to see his client, and how she drowned herself in the bottle of whiskey she had offered him before leaving.Confused, perplexed and worried, she flipped open her mobile phone and dialed his line which was severely directed to the voice mail. At that point she became restless and fear gradually fed on her soul.She wiped her sudden wet palm against her dress, her hands became shaky and breath quickened, different thought collide in her head and her emotions got mixed up. It was of no doubt she deep
Sitting upright with a straight back,she stared blankly into the air while her mind travelled back to the event at the entrance.Melvin's eyes and the movement of his lips, his firm grip around her Shoulder as he boldly let the words out.He had been been asking her to be his woman but she never thought he meant it, when did it all happen? It started off as a casual sex and now, somehow she's deeply in love with someone she once hated.His words sent shivers to her spine and her it seemed the time paused for a while, dopamine sent sent tickles round and round her tummy and she couldn't help but blush.What was this feeling? Is it love ?if yes why does it seem strange? She thought she was fall in love with Alexis, yet this feeling seemed entirely strange." Ma'am , ma'am!, The books fell off already" her instructor shouted.Her yell jolted Louisa's wandering mind back her body, she bit on her lip in disappointment at how she lost focus." Louisa... you shouldn't be thinking about him,
" hang the balloons over there, add a couple of red candles and more petals on the red carpet. Damn it! What did I pay you for? Is this the best you could offer? Even I can do better than this" the yelled then patted his pocket repeatedly to get his buzzing phone." Hello sir, this is the baker you contacted earlier, hum...after doing the estimate of the design you want...it cost about 500 thousand dollars...so I thought of informing you before proceeding since it's just a pro--"" Go ahead with it" he interupted." Sir? Are you sure?what if--"" Will you do your job or I contact another person? " He yelled and turned back to continue his discussion with the decorator. After he was sure he had understood what he wanted he walked to the center of the temporarily made hall situated on a beach. He looked up to the stars and moon and smiled broadly." They shine so bright, it's a good sign..Louisa would be mine" he thought.The whisling of the wind and the rumble of the sea created Mel
Melvin sat with his head bowed, and hand clasped leaning his head in between his palm while listening to Natalie's conversation on phone with the police officer.It was a day and half yet Louisa was nowhere to be found..where in the God damn world could she be Melvin thought. He raised his head on deducing Natalie was done with her call."Any update mum?, Is there any lead?" He questioned anxiously but Natalie dejectedly shook her head without uttering a single word.He leaned backwards and folded his arm across his chest. He was still finding it difficult to believe Louisa whom he saw earlier that day was now tagged missing. Could it be scarlett again?He slammed both hands on his desk ,picked his car keys and was about to step out when Chloe barged in panting profusely.She walked towards Natalie, held her hands and squeezed it softly." Is it true Louisa is missing? For days?, How.. she's.. what do I tell Danna? She's going to go crazy, this can be happening" she muttered amidst
" Come here Kyle!" Natalie yelled at the top of her voice." catch me if you can granny" little Kyle replied while running around the garden.Louisa, Melvin and hunter and watched how Natalie and and Kyle ran around the house and chuckled." How can he be so energetic, see him stressing my darling wife"" Your darling wife needs some exercise Dad, you should be thankful to my son, he's only making sure your wife is fit" Melvin stated while they all laughed." I cannot believe three years have passed already, three years of our unending love, and Kyle..he's just growing up so fast that it scares me Melvin, soon he's going to leave us, my son..our son--" Louisa said while staring passionately at little Kyle." Wow , wow ,wow! Honey come over here, come listen to your daughter , you see she's scared Kyle is growing so fast, and very soon he'd leave them to take a wife and then they'd be alone just like us"Natalie walked round the table to pick a chair close to Louisa, then pulled her
Melvin slid his fingers in between Louisa's, while looking directly into her eyes, he couldn't take his eyes off her for few seconds, this time it lasted more than seconds, he was lost in her pupils, they both looked into each other's eyes passionately, professing their love arrongantly with their gaze."Hmm hmm hmm" the counselor cleared her throat to get their attention." We are at the end of your counsel already love birds, I could feel the heat from your burning love and desire, but do not forget all I said. The place of sacrifice and commitment. With that in mind you are good to go"" Thank you, we will leave now, we have quite alot to work on " Melvin said then he helped Louisa up and guarded her out the door.It was a short drive back home and Melvin and Louisa were surprised at how fast things were in place." Mel? Don't you think this people have some super powers?" Louisa asked sarcastically." of course they do, our happiness gives them strength" Melvin replied and they bo
Louisa sat akimbo behind the curtain robbing both her palms against each other." Calm down Louisa, you can do this, you definitely can, you waited your whole life for this day. Now it's time to make momma proud, do it for mum Louisa" she repeatedly muttered to herself.The sound of the speaker, cheers of the audience and the hype of the master of occasion filled her ears." Now ,it is time to bring to you, the new star whose voice you all fell in love with before meeting her, are you ready?? Texas are you ready!!!!!!!!!!"" Yes we are are!!!!!" The audience chorused.Now Louisa couldn't stop fidgeting, her heart pounded heavily and her lips got jittery. Anxiety slowly crept up her veins."Louisa are you ready ?you are about to be called upon? Go and rock the stage!" Melvin cheered " Melvin, no no,I don't know what's happening to me, I don't think I can do this , Melvin I shouldn't have nurtured such dream when I don't even have the courage, I'm such a coward what do I do now? My pa
" boss! Boss! Boss! There's something you should see" a worker said while running after Melvin who was already close to exit post..Melvin halted instantly with a raised borrow, he turned towards his finance secretary who was panting profusely, he couldn't help but worry, what could be the issue again? No, the last thing he wanted was a bad news, he should at least accompany Louisa home to relax peacefully.Before the financial secretary could reach him, he sighted a couple of his board members troop in all smiling sheepishly at Louisa." Oh Louisa dear! I'm so glad you're back, the best decision we made was to make you the face of the company. Hope it wasn't too thought over there?" Said Mr Dias." Dear you look really emancipated, the food over there must have tasted bad, when will you be able to resume duty? You see everyone loves you now ,you're the new star and you have indeed come to limelight" Mr Johnson said with an awkward smile.Melvin pulled Louisa closer, then clenched his
Things were really getting out of hand.Jay sighed, not for the first time, as he shifted from foot to foot. He was now tending to the fires that were slowly dying, trying to keep it up for much longer as the nighttime was all around him. With the sunset, had come the loss of warmth, and also the sounds of the forest waking up.The weary Alpha, still searching for his missing daughter, put more kindling into the fire, feeding it and tending to it. He needed to make the kindling last until the next hours as he rested for a bit, and before then, this fire could not under any circumstance, go off.Once he was fairly certain that the fire was not going to be dying anytime soon, Jay sat back on the log of wood he had been occupying for the past few hours.The sounds of crickets chirping and the nocturnal animals waking up caused Jay to mutter under his breath.He never had been very comfortable with staying out in the woods in this way, and he tried to avoid it at all costs before. Now, ho
Silence dominated the court room, that one would think voice is a crime. Tension, anxiety and fear peaked at each breath they took. At that point the judged dropped his pen, loosened his collar and relaxed.In a way it seemed everyone in the court room was connected to the case, including the judge. It was time to know how he was fooled by a teenage girl, why he almost gave up on practising law and why on a second thought he vowed to punish all criminals severely.Two hours had past but he was determined to end the case, and it unexpectedly was getting interesting.With his gaze still fixed on Scarlett who already looked miserable. Her eye were red and puffy, her nose ran like a fountain, and her lips wouldn't stop shaking. She looked pitiful but ironically didn't get any sympathy. The judge thought to give her time to get herself together, he thought she needed space to drown in her own self made ocean of pain and agony, however he was losing patience, he didn't have all the day and
" ghost ghost, he's a ghost! Why are you hunting me, I didn't kill you, I know nothing about your death, so why the the hell are you after me!! " Scarlett shrieked while pointing towards the door. Her lips shivered ,her face turned red, and her chest burnt. Her fear slowly fed on her, ripping her apart from within, at each tick if the clock, she died a little inside. Her imagined victory hymn evaporated and replcaced with a desperate quest for survival."Fuck money, the court can have all of it,it was people's money anyway. F* ck fame, I really don't care about it anymore, I just wanna survive, I need to survive! All have to do is think if a way to escape, I need to reach my house ,grab my passport then leave the states,I shouldn't have come back to Texas in the first place, my return Was a big mistake" she thought." Your honour,this is Mr Asher, can you please climb the witness box" the defense questioned while pointing to the box " Mr Asher what is the relationship between you a
Alexis immediately removed his tux and flung it sideway, he didn't need to die before experiencing his hell, his hell was right before him in form of a human.His shirt drenched in sweat and his tongue dried up and got twisted in his throat." Damn it, the table has turned, I messed with the wrong person this time, I have been defeated in my own game, how do I get out of this uncatched. I have to find a way to leave the courtroom before mentions my name. Damn it!!! Alexis, I should have used another lawyer and listen from home, I would have been able to excape without being noticed.What do I now? Think Alexis think, Scarlett, I should reach Scarlett, we just need to get out of this God damned hell."He slowly pulled out his mobile phone, then sent a text message to Scarlett who was already at the court entrance." You may go in ma'am, but as instructed you might not be able to go out until the end,as the judge has before hand warned all incoming speculators against rowdy court room"
Natalie's lungs tightened, as the air in the courtroom suddenly seemed toxic for her. All that was happening to her because of Louisa anyway, the last day had finally arrived. The day Louisa fate would be decided, tension slowly creep up her temple" Finally the murderer will be revealed, and she would be thrown in jail where she belongs" a speculator said angrily.Natalie, Chloe and Melvin sprang up on seeing Louisa dragged in by an officer, Louisa scanned the audience briefly till her eyes fell Melvin, then she smiled weakly.It was obvious, despite trying to cover it,she was in pain and it feeds on her beautiful soul."Damn it, I should have just ended it right from the start, I was just bothered about catching them both, I wasted too much time and she has suffered so much. She looks emanciated. When all this is over I will sue those officer that didn't let her receive any visitor" he thought then smiled weakly before he slowly lowered himself into his seat..Alexis walked in grac
