"Doctor, how's my daughter doing?" Collins asks, the moment a doctor emerges from the ICU
"She's in coma right now. The car accident took an impact on her brain, so there's a possibility she might not remember some things. But she's alright, and the baby is safe" he says and everyone breathes a relief.Amnesia or not, she might be fine.My phone rings, cutting off my attention."Dad?""Bambina" he says, his voice broken"Dad are you okay?" I ask him, feeling bothered about the fact that he's sounding so distraught."Yes, why, I'm fine""Dad please. Don't lie to me. I know you well enough to know that you're not doing well right now. The sound of your voice alone is enough to cause an unease""Bambina is your mother, I- I caught her cheating" he says, feeling choked."What?" I whisper, not believing my ears. "Dad I'm coming right over. Just wait for me" I say and huWaaaaaiiiiiiittttt! What just happened? Oh I hope our poor Elizabeth is okay. Who would even think of hitting her with a car? It seems the storm is brewing in both families, everyone has a scandal going on? *Sigh* When are we gonna get a break? Maybe we should consult the authorđđ Anyway, let me know your thoughts on this chapter. Vote, Comment and Share.
Charles Frost POVI slump down on the chairs, waiting for the doctors to tell us when we can go in and see Royale.Everything has been falling apart recently and it's beginning to take a toll on me. The only sense of happiness I have is Elizabeth, she and my baby are the only ones keeping me sane these days.I don't know how long I can go on like this, but I know I have to be strong. For the family. For everyone. For us. For my wife and the child that is on the way."Sir, you can go in now" the doctor says and we all scramble to our feet, following the nurse to the private room we requested for Royale.Royale is on the bed, connected to tubes and all sorts, her face turned towards the window. I know the doctor said there is a possibility she might not remember some things, but I hope she remembers us, if not, I wouldn't know what I'd do."My baby" mom says when she sees her, getting
Elizabeth Frost POV My eye lids flutter open, and it feels all too familiar like the last time I fainted and I was rushed here. The day I also found out that I was pregnant. Wait. Pregnant! I manage to look down at my stomach and weirdly, it isn't as huge as it was anymore. Oh I hope my baby is alright. Maybe they did an early delivery because of the accident I had. "Elizabeth" Charles mutters, pulling me out of my thoughts. His face looks pained, too pained. His eyes have so many emotions roaming in them. Regret. Pain. Guilt. Sadness, immense sadness. Oh Charles, he always takes everything that has to do with me way too damn serious. I had one accident, just one accident and he looks on the verge of death. I am safe, my baby is safe and that's all that matters. I try to sit up, and Charles helps me to do so. I rest my head back, trying to catch my breath. That seems like such a stre
It's been a week since my life went downhill. Everything is quiet in this mansion. The happiness has been sucked out of it just as the life has been sucked out of me with the death of my child. Most often than not, I wish I didn't let Jenna go away, because I really would love some company. This serene quietness is testing my sanity bit by bit, but all the same, I still love the quiet. Charles offered to stay at home with me for as long as I want. He was prepared to work from home just so that he can be by my side. He isn't taking the pain well either, but he's handling it better than I am. Way better. I guess he's trying to be strong for the both of us. Strong for me. Either way, I sent him off to work. Frost Capital is the only right thing going on in our lives right now, and we can't lose that as well. It's the only present thing standing, and we don't want it to come tumbling down like everything else. People come and go, family, trying
During the car ride to wherever Helena says Ryan is, my heart can't stop beating at the rate that it is. My daughter just died, and I have barely been able to hold myself up. And then this happens, Ryan. The man who I thought cheated on me, the man that I have harboured so much hatred and anger for, is not Ryan Spencer, the man I grew up in love with. Does this change my life? Will I allow it to? How sure am I that Helena is saying the truth? Because I really don't want to believe her. Because this is so hard to digest. So painful to swallow. Am I ready to face the hard truth? Is it even the truth?What hurts me more is what I have done. What I did. I ruined his life. Destroyed everything. His reputation? Check. His job? Check. His whole life that I brought tumbling down? Check. And meanwhile he's lying in a warehouse somewhere, like a vegetable. For a whole 365 days.Oh Lord, I'm spent. I can't take anymore of this.We arrive two hours later i
"I know you saw everything that happened" "You don't have to talk about it if you don't want to" "Please Charles. Enough of that kindness. You deserve to know the truth" I sigh "The man I've been with till the time Ryan cheated was not Ryan, it was Brent, the man who got arrested" I see the shock and surprise on his face "Apparently Ryan hit his sister with a car and she died, so he came into my life wanting revenge, and I made it easy for him. I know Ryan was wrong, I know that he could have been the good man and mend his mistakes, get that girl to the hospital, and maybe, just maybe she would still be alive today." I pause and take in a deep breath "I'm tired Charles, I'm tired. All this is too much, I don't know how many more surprises I can take" I say and Charles pulls me into a hug. I wipe the tears on my face and try to muster some confidence within me, because I know the next words are going
Five years. Five solid years. I lost a lot. And it took five years to pick myself back up. I got myself a job when I came here, I stayed at a hotel the first few months, and the bills were killing me but thanks to my bank account, I got it easy. I rented an apartment next, and got my things in, which weren't much at the time. I decided to emerge myself into something new, so I took a majoring class in Psychology at the University Of Melbourne. It was like starting life like a high school graduate all over again. Already having a degree in medicine, I caught on quickly. Now I'm a psychologist, at the same time a paediatric surgeon. My reason for getting into psychology was simple, I wanted to help people find themselves as my therapist helped me to find myself. It doesn't do everything for you, but talking to someone helps. I'm a motivational speaker as well, going for talk shows here and
"Let's start by getting you naked." Charles mutters, his voice deeper, huskier. His eyes a shade darker, full of love and lust. "I am the most impatient man right now, but we are going to take this as slow as possible" His hands find my sweater, and takes it off. I gasp when my back connects with the bed. Charles proceeds to take off my jeans along with my underwear, ridding me of my clothes in the most sensual way I never knew existed, before unclasping my bra. I close my eyes in pure ecstacy. God, how much I have missed the intoxicating touch of my husband. He stands back, just to stare at me. "I just want a moment to look at you, savour this moment. You look even more beautiful now. Sexier, fuller" he murmurs, his fingers tracing my cheek, down to my neck, down to my chest, before rounding my nipples. "Shall I make you come like this?" He asks, before his mouth wraps around my areola. "Do you want
3 years later"Do I look okay? Am I looking fine? Elizabeth I think I need a little bit more blush on the side" I stare quietly at the ever confident Diane, who is surprisingly asking too many questions at this point. Ah! What weddings can do to you. "Diane, you look gorgeous." I place my hand on her shoulder. "Don't tell me you're getting cold feet" I joke. "I'm just a bit nervous. But I would never get cold feet. Benjamin and I have officially been together for seven years, nothing is going to let me draw out at the last minute" "Diane, I'm happy that you're happy" "Me too" "I hope you are not getting your make up smeared Diane Harding" Veronica says, entering the bride room. "I wouldn't dare" we all laugh. Benjamin and Diane decided to the the knot today, and Veronica and I are her bridesmaids. Veronica is now with her boyfriend, Francis. She has bee
