56~ Secret relationship
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56In a VIP ward at the general hospital, Maria Stevens lay on the hospital bed with an IV connected to her arm, delivering fluids to her body.
Her husband Michael Stevens sat by her bedside holding her hand.
Maria chuckled at her husband’s nervous expression. Her eyes fluttered and she said, “you don’t have to look so scared. It’s not like I’m dying.”
“Stop saying that. You don’t know how afraid I was when you suddenly collapsed. Now you have to be admitted for a few days.” Michael said. He had been watering the garden at the mansion when some maids suddenly told him that his wife had fainted.
He had gotten the biggest scare of his life. Maria may be talkative but she loved him and stayed with him through thick and thin. Even if they were now old, he still didn’t want to lose her.
“Oh dear, look at your face. I’m fine. It’s nothing.” Maria said, trying to lift her husband’s mood.

Rita was rushing to finish up her work in the office before lunch break. She wanted to rush to the supermarket, buy fruits then head to the hospital to visit Maria, her mother-in-law. While she was busy with her work, Rita heard her phone chime. A few seconds later, it started ringing. She grabbed the phone to check who was calling and when she saw that it was Collins the private investigator, she answered the call. “Hello.” “Hello, good morning Miss Jones. I have just sent you some pictures. It’s evidence of Eric Thompson’s wife’s infidelity. I still haven’t been able to find solid evidence on Eric though. But he seems to be in contact with some wanted criminals. There’s a lead I'm following.” “What do you think he could be doing with those criminals? Is he doing something illegal? We need a lot of dirt on him. I want him to rot in jail,” Rita said as she tightened her hold on the phone. “I don’t think that’s the case. He used to sell

Christopher Stevens had been meticulously going through the company’s statistics when he received a call from his mother urging him to pay her a visit at the hospital. Worried, that her blood pressure might go up again, he quickly grabbed his car keys and drove to the hospital. To his dismay, he found Lydia Jacobs in his mother’s ward. Maria immediately perked up when she saw her son walk through the door. “Chris, look who’s here to visit me. Isn’t she a wonderful woman? Lydia, say hi to Chris.” Maria said when Chris stood next to her bed, a frown was now etched on his face as he stared at his mother accusingly. “Hi, Chris.. it’s been a while,” Lydia said in a sickeningly sweet voice. “Hmmm,” was all Chris could say. He was on the verge of losing his cool. If it wasn’t for his mother’s presence, he would have left already. “Wow, look at you two. You look good together—” “Where’s dad and Jasmine, mom?” Chris asked, cutti

A group of senior resident doctors was doing their rounds around the wards. They had just finished the women’s section on the east wing and were heading to the men’s section on the west wing. As they walked through the huge reception area they happened to see a commotion just next to the hospital’s entrance. “Can we have a doctor? Someone has fainted!! Oh my God and there’s blood!!” A panicked female voice could be heard resonating around the place. The group of doctors heard the cry for help and quickly rushed to the scene only to see a woman with red hair unconscious on the floor. “Eve!!” Suddenly one of the doctors rushed forward and held Evelyn in his arms. It was Jayden Molten. Seeing his girlfriend so helpless on the floor, he couldn’t care less if people found out about them. He rushed over and checked her pulse. But his heart sank when he inspected the bleeding area. ‘A gunshot wound’? His heart ached. It felt like someone was sq

When Rita came to, she found herself in a dark place. The area didn’t smell good. It also felt like she was floating. Especially with her being pregnant, the stench of the place made her heave as she tried to recollect herself. Rita tried to sit properly but she ended up bumping into someone. “Easy there..” Rita’s body jerked in alarm at the sound of the female voice on her right. “W – who are you?” She asked as she tried to calm her racing heart. “I’m also like you. I was brought here against my will,” the voice said. Rita had a lightbulb moment when she suddenly remembered what had happened. She was in the ward with Evelyn then a man with a gun came and took her. ‘Oh my God! Evelyn!! Is she alright?’ Rita thought to herself when she remembered that her friend was shot by the kidnapper. “Hey, don’t panic. As long as we stick together we will be fine,” Rita heard the voice again. “W – where are we? Where are the

Rita had decided to stay strong so that she could find an opportunity to escape. They had been kept in the dark throughout their journey. The only time the lights were turned on was when food was brought for them. That was when she could finally see Sabrina’s face and features. She seemed to be tall, with short caramel hair that was styled into a bob. Her large hazel-brown eyes twinkled with warmth as she spoke. Her friendly demeanor made Rita feel comfortable sitting close to her. There were also other women in the room but they meekly curled up to themselves. Rita felt sorry for the frightened-looking women. She wondered how many women had suffered such a terrible fate. They must have suffered a lot. When the ship finally reached its destination, Rita’s heart sank when she realized they were brought to an island in the middle of nowhere. The place didn’t even look like it was habitable. This was a disheartening discovery for Rita. Sh

4:00 pm at the Jones’ mansion. Eric Thompson was arguing with his wife over money. She had suddenly called him while he was at work asking for one million dollars. It was so shocking that Eric had to return home early to tell Patricia off and let her know that he already knew that the baby wasn’t his. “You cheated, lied, and made me become a daddy when you knew very well that this….” Eric pointed at Patricia’s baby bump and continued, “is not my child!! Be reasonable for once!! You won’t get a dime from me.” “I will.. unless you want the police to know about your secrets. Eric, you will GIVE me the money I’m asking for!!” Patricia yelled back with her hands on her waist. Time was running out and the police were closing in on them, soon they would have enough evidence to arrest them. She needed the money to leave the country and settle elsewhere as soon as possible. But Eric was being overly stingy. “Ha!” Eric scoffed then lifted his ha

Rita was shocked to come face to face with Eric. But soon the shock turned into anger when realization dawned upon her. “It was you!! You got me kidnapped!! Are you crazy?” She snapped as she glared at Eric. She wished she could wring his neck until his windpipe gave up. “Yes, I am. Crazy about you,” Eric said as he suddenly stepped forward and pulled Rita into his arms forcefully. “Gosh, I missed you. You have no idea.” “Oh, I do have an idea. You’re a psycho.” Rita said sarcastically as she tried to squirm from his hold. “Son, you’re finally here? Don’t tell me you want to leave without talking to your uncle.” The old man suddenly decided to show up. Rita wondered where he had been all this while. “Uncle Zack, I was just about to look for you. Let’s go to your office,” Eric said and left before giving Rita some clothes that he had bought on the way. “Change into these.” The woman who was tormenting Rita earlier was fuming wit

The moment Christopher Stevens called the police to report Eric Thompson, he secretly dispatched a team of his own to stand guard outside the Jones' mansion and the company. He had made a gamble. There was a high chance Eric would escape and run to wherever he kept Rita Jones. Chris planned to follow him discreetly. Of course, the easier way would be to arrest him and torture the answer out of him. But that would be time-consuming in case Eric decided to play games with them. As expected, Chris received a report from the police and his team at the same time. “Sir.. should I inform the police about Eric’s whereabouts?” A question came from John Kent, Christopher’s executive assistant while they stayed in hiding at the harbor as they waited for Eric’s ship to start off. John was there to organize a team of former special forces agents who would escort Chris on his quest to get his wife back. “No.. I will choose what to do with th

Five years later…. Rita was in a deep sleep when she felt a scorching heat coming from her back. Then she felt a hand wrap around her waist and creep up to her chest, massaging her naked breasts. The heat coming from the hand sent tingles rushing through her body, eliciting a lewd moan from her. Rita felt the hand become restless as it slid down her stomach and slipped in between her thighs, massaging her core that was getting aroused with every minute from the teasing. “Wake up my love… it’s time to fuck, hurry before the children wake up,” Rita heard Chris say and she hummed hornily in response. Noticing that his wife was still in a daze, Chris moved his fingers faster, stimulating her now swollen bud. His finger penetrated her core whilst his thumb rubbed her pleasure button in circles. He roughly massaged the soaked peach as he thrust two fingers in and out of her. “Oh.. that’s it .. fuck! Fuck!” Rita hissed a

Chris stared deeply at Rita as love swirled in his eyes. She was just perfect for him. He felt like the richest man in the world because he had her by his side. She was his treasure, more than gold and the billions he owned. ‘Fuck! I love you..’ he thought in his head. He took her hand in his and said, “thank you for trusting me, my love. It means a lot to me. After you were betrayed like that, trusting someone else would have been difficult but you trusted me from the word go. I can’t help falling in love with you every day.” Rita’s heart swelled with warmth, “I can’t stop trusting people just because one person betrayed my trust. You’re not that person.. if you betray me, it would be a choice not because you are like Eric. I’ve taken you as you are.. as Chris.. I trust you and love you. Your hazel green eyes say it all, I know my trust is in the right place this time. It’s obvious you are deeply in love with me.. I can feel it and I can see it. It f

Two months after the honeymoon… “Daddy…” Leon Stevens could be heard wailing as he ran after Chris with his short legs. “No… Daddy,” the little boy tried to run fast but he couldn’t reach his father who had just walked out of the door in time. So he smacked his little hands together and started wailing loudly. “Leon.. daddy is going for work,” Elizabeth said as she lifted the boy into her arms. “No! I wan daddy! Wah!” Leon wriggled in Elizabeth’s arms like a worm. Rita Jones was seated in the backseat of the Maybach, waiting for her husband so that they could go for work. She watched in amusement as Chris went back into the house and carried Leon, trying to pacify him. This was what happened every morning before they left for work. While Liam was still an independent baby, Leon was the complete opposite. He turned out to be a daddy’s boy. Every morning, when he woke up, the first person he would look for was his father. Then th

“I love you so much..” Christopher Stevens said to Rita Jones in his husky voice while looking down at her lovingly as they swayed to the music on the dance floor. Several hours after they said their vows, they moved to another location for their wedding reception. It was an outdoor reception held at a place called crystal gardens. There was a white beautifully draped tent in the middle of a garden. The sides of the tent were left open to allow the guests to have a scenic view of the property. Inside the tent, metal poles that pitched the tent down were turned into stunning displays of lush greenery and vines. Chairs and round tables were decorated with a gray and champagne color theme. A romantic atmosphere was evoked by the assorted strands of twinkle lights that hang along the ceiling of the tent, creating a soft ambiance. The whole place screamed elegant and classic. Rita and Chris were swaying on the dancefloor as they did the first dance. The lighting made Rita feel like s

Rita Jones felt a sense of dèjà vu while she was seated at the very front of the ballroom. A distant memory flashed through her mind. She remembered when she was just taking over the Jones group after her parents passed away. She was very nervous back then, not knowing how she would be able to run the company. It took time to earn everyone’s respect and after a few years, they were finally ok to be under her leadership. This was why it was a huge blow to her when the company she painstakingly raised to the top was suddenly snatched from her. Rita stood up from her seat and walked towards the stage gracefully as Ciara’s level-up played. She sang along in her heart as she felt the song suited her well. ~ “five, four, three, two, one Leggo! (Watch me) Level up, level up, level up, level up, level up…” ~ Rita did a statement-making hair flip as she moved forward like the boss she was whilst the song continued….

Five months later… Rita Jones had gone back to work three months after giving birth. The Jones group was doing well and the stock price kept skyrocketing since they had introduced new products into the market. Apart from that, Rita had been working on opening a subsidiary clothing company with Jasmine. Finally, it was time for the big launch. The new company was being launched at the city’s intercontinental hotel. The ballroom was filled with round tables and chairs covered in white linen. There was a stage in front for the showcase of the wedding gown designs. The room was dimly lit with the stage having more lighting. Above the stage was a banner with the words saying, ‘welcome to J&S company launch'. The J stood for Jones while S for Stevens. Reporters had gotten wind of the event and were waiting for Rita to appear so that they could fire her with questions. Seated at the back of a black Maybach, R

There are so many things to be afraid of in this world but at the top of the list is losing the ones we love. Such was the case with Christopher Stevens and Rita Jones. After moving around aimlessly and finally finding each other again, losing one another would feel like the world had ended. When Chris barged into the ward and saw the look of pure panic and horror on Rita’s face, his heart squeezed painfully. He never wanted to cause her such terror ever again. He had hoped to find her still sleeping so that she wouldn’t find out that the baby was missing. His heart sank the moment he found her staring wide-eyed into Liam’s empty crib, trembling with fright. “Chris! Chris! Liam! I don’t know where …. Where he is.. I had slept.. he’s missing! I – I..” Rita screamed breathlessly as tears streamed down her face. Her loud voice had woken up Leon who had started to cry. “Baby.. calm down—” “How can you tell me to calm down?! I just gave bir

Rita Jones never thought it was possible to fall in love with someone she had never met. But there she was, staring down at her two bundles of joy who looked like their father with love in her eyes. After the boys were cleaned up and wrapped up warmly, it was now time to feed them. Rita was yet to start producing a lot of milk but the doctor advised it would come out as the babies fed. Liam Stevens was an independent baby, after having his fill, he was held in his father’s arms where he quietly enjoyed the pampering. Leon Stevens on the other hand was very clingy. He just wanted to stay in his mother’s arms regardless of whether he was still feeding or not. It was like he was demanding for the attention he didn’t get while he was in his mother’s womb because he was staying hidden. Soon, visitors entered the ward and Maria fainted from extreme shock the moment she discovered there were two babies instead of one. “Mom!” Chris put Liam in
