NOT YET EDITED
Lena couldn't help but smile. The lovebird completely forgot about him. She quickly replied,' He left as soon as Ann left.' She put her phone down after a few minutes of no response, then she faced Jimmy. They continued with the wedding preparations. They looked very excited like they were the ones that are gonna get married. “Aunt Lena with the way dad and aunt Whitney are behaving, I'm very afraid they might never get married. Should we do something to make the wedding preparations faster?” he asked. Lena thought of it and smiled before nodding then she glanced at Jimmy suspiciously. “Are you sure you are seven? Where do you get all the ideas and nonsense from?” she asked him with a suspicious look. Jimmy smiled nervously and said, “Aunt, what do you think? Don't have weird thoughts okay? And I'm not seven... I'm seven-plus.” Lena chuckled, “What is the difference? The number is still the same. Seven... Seven plus... The numbers are the same.” Jimmy shook his head s
“But the ring is too expensive. I can't let you buy something as expensive as that for me. The guilt won't let me enjoy wearing it,” she told him. “Don't feel guilty. I can't let you wear inferior things. The nation's husband wifey shouldn't be looked down on by other people,” he told her. Whitney blinked back the stupid tears almost spilling out. This is stupid but she actually feels touched. When Karl had gotten her a ring, she was extremely grateful that he got her something simple. After their breakup, that night... No one knows about this but she actually googled and searched for the prize of the ring. Imagine her shock when she found out the ring was a fake. A fake ring! He actually thought so low of her. As if he knew she would accept anything as long as it is from him. He really played with her emotions well. He thought of her so low that... that he couldn't find anything else but to propose to her with a fake ring. She couldn't control her emotions so she bur
He looked at her and just spouted what came into his head, “Let's get married tomorrow at the registry office.” “What!!?,” Whitney was shocked by his request. What is he saying? What is he thinking? Why is this man behaving this way? They only talked about the wedding today and he is already suggesting they get married the next day. Who does that? “I can do it,” he replied and she realized said her thoughts out loud. “Why...? Why would you even wanna do it?” she asked as she shifted a little to face him. “Let us get married tomorrow in the registry office. It won't take much time. We can have the wedding ceremony later. We can even have a huge wedding if you want,” he told her, and Whitney looked at him wondering what the heck is wrong with him. “No, I can't. I won't. Why do you wanna rush things?” she asked incredulously. 'It is because I'm scared someone else might snatch you away from me,' he thought but didn't dare say it out loud. “Why can't you? Why don't you wa
“Asher, you are not a bastard. Do you hear me? You don't have to act as though you heard them. Just ignore. One day your dad will come back home,” Janiece told him. Asher just ignored her again giving her that familiar cold attitude. He probably got that too from his real father. Why did this naughty boy inherit so many bad habits from his father and couldn't even inherit just one good habit from her? He might be sweet. He might act sweet sometimes but he ly the definition of a little devil. He can be a little devil when he wants to be. “Okay, I got it. But please can you just condone yourself today. I don't want to receive any news. Please pity your mother and behave like a five years boy for once,” Janiece said. “Mom! I told you it's six. I'll be six years old soon. Just in a few days. Why do you always forget?” the boy whined. Janiece sighed. What earth has she done to deserve a mini version of devil-like this? Don't get her wrong. She loves her son. Sly loves him but
“Even if you are playing hide and seek, do you have to hold his hands like that?” the teacher whose name is Justin asked him. Before Jimmy could answer, Asher decided to play a trick on him. “Sir, I was asking him to release my hand but he didn't answer. He even held my hands with force. Here is the mark sir as evidence.” He even showed the teacher his pale-colored hand that had faint red marks. Jimmy opened his mouth wide agape. See the person he is trying to help. The teacher looked at him with a cold glare. Jimmy could already imagine what the teacher is thinking. He is probably thinking that Jimmy thinks because he is a rich kid, he can bully anyone he likes. Jimmy gave the teacher the most innocent look he could muster which clearly says,' No sir, don't look at me that way. I am very innocent. I didn't do anything wrong.' Asher tried to hold his laughter in as soon as he saw Jimmy's expression. Does the coward know how he looks right now? He looked back and saw t
“Yes, I'll surely have s*x with my hubby if he can walk but I don't have to worry about you taking advantage of me because you are crippled. Sorry, that came out harsh. I meant to say cause you can't walk so I know I'll enjoy this marriage in peace,” Whitney retorted. She was talking so seriously that she didn't notice the discreet smile on Maverick's face. 'We will see about that wifey,' he thought as he stared at her with a hidden emotion in his eyes. “You won't go back on your words, will you?,” he asked and she shook her head sideways to indicate no. She looked at him suspiciously and asked, “Why are you asking me this?” “Nothing. Oh! The ring I ordered for us will arrive today. Please don't burst into tears when you see the ring,” he pleaded teasingly. She pouted again. Ever since that day that she cried over the ring, he has never stopped teasing her. “Stop it. Stop making me feel embarrassed over and over again. You were acting so sweet that day that I couldn't help
But nevertheless, he walked closer to the file and checked it. His frown disappeared when he saw that the product is just a general product. That means whatever ad he needs to make for the company will be an easy one. So he skimmed or shall I say scanned through the contract. The terms and conditions. What they are gonna offer him and blah blah. I don't know much about business stuff so I will stop there. He finished checking all the processes and finally went to the name of the company. He looked at the unfamiliar name. Kings company. The Ceo is Karl King. He switched on his computer and began to g****e search all the information he could obtain about the company but soon shut his system out of boredom when he didn't find anything interesting. He looked up and was surprised to see that the secretary is still standing right where he left her. He looked at her confused. “What are you still doing there? Don't you have work to do?” he asked. The lady smiled seeing that he f
Janiece waited outside the school gate for Asher impatiently. It was the school closing hour. She was still surprised that she didn't get any message from the school. She raised her head to see Asher walking towards her looking neat and a gasp left her mouth because his school uniform usually looks dirty since he gets into fights easily. "Mom," Asher called as he tapped her getting her back to reality. She blinked her eyes repeatedly as she looked at her son who was wondering, 'What the heck is wrong with Mom? Why is she staring into space?' "Did you have a hard time at work?" Asher asked while Janiece still stared at him wondering if he is her son or someone else in his form. "Asher, is this you?," Janiece asked, squatting to reach his level. Asher stared at her with his narrowed eyes which says 'Do I look different or something is wrong with your eyes?' He even had a frown on his face as he asked, "Do I have a twin?" It was then Janice realized how dumb her question s
Owen sat impatiently on a chair as he kept on calling Zoey's number but it was not reachable.He kept on trying but it was not reachable. After the doctor informed them about Gia's health he got angry more. He was waiting for her to wake up so that he can't hurt her and say hurtful things to her just like he did to Whitney but he can't.She already lost her mind even if he did she won't understand what he is talking about.He wanted to have his money back and get the company back from Alex. He has the hope that he will get Janiece back once he does that.But Miss Zoey's number is not reachable, he checked the address on the business card and decided to go to her maybe something is wrong with her phone.When he got to the address he saw nothing there. There was no sign of a company."Excuse me, sir?" He stopped a passerby. "Yes, Mister" the woman answered."Was there a company here named Zoey?" He asked. " We don't have a company in this neighborhood" she replied.After noticing his e
Alex stared at the report in his hand with his mouth wide open. His suspicion was right, Asher is his son.He returned the DNA test to the brown envelope and walked out of his office.He went to Karl's company and took Alice out, he was able to do that because it was her lunchtime."You have been staring at me for a while now and I think my body must have tons of holes" Alice joked as she felt uncomfortable with his stares.He stood up and walked to her side, he knelt and Alice's heart started beating so fast, she thought he was going to propose but he did the unexpected.He dropped a brown envelope on the table beside her food. "Read it," he said and she took it with fear.She opened it and saw it as a DNA test, she didn't check the name and just saw positive."Whose DNA test is this? Did you find one of your family? Is it a sibling?" She asked." Do you remember my strange questions about Asher's father?" He asked and she nodded." I am the monster who raped you. I am the monster wh
"That's not it, I just want to know if you hate him," he said. " I don't I'm just mad at him for not waiting until I woke up, I want to ask him why he did what he did" she replied truthfully"So if he apologizes will you forgive him?" He asked, " it's hard to decide but I don't want to think about it. Why are you asking such an impossible thing? "She wondered." How sure are you that it is impossible?" He asked and she chuckled, " he didn't show up for the past six years, you think he will show up now? I doubt it" she chuckled." Alice remember that I just want you to be happy," he saidThere was a brief silence. Alice was confused about why Alex is suddenly talking like that. Is something wrong?Is he giving up on her? She doesn't think she will ever find anyone who will treat her the same way he did."What are you talking about? Are you leaving again?" She asked." If you find out the truth you might hate me," he said"I don't think I can ever hate you," she said. He shook his head a
"Are you in love with him?" He asked as his voice broke. The truth will hurt him, if Alice is really in love with Alex then there is no space for him in her heart.And it looks like he had successfully turned her against him judging from how angry she is right now."Answer me!" He demanded when she didn't say anything but just stared at him as tears ran down from her eyes."You have no right over me. I don't owe you an explanation of what I feel. So, you don't get to ask me any questions about who I love" she said." So you do love him," he said, "why do you care? Why do you make me feel like it's my fault when it is all yours!" She pointed at him." Why do you make me feel guilty for something you are responsible for!? Why are you punishing me, Owen? Why?" She asked as her tears became uncontrollable." What are you talking about?" He asked finding every word of her's confusing. "Really you are going to pretend to be clueless? Geez who am I kidding, what was I expecting? That you wou
The duvet was on the floor, and papers were torn on the floor too, he walked closer and saw her swollen eyes. Her hair was tattered as if she were insane. She looks like she hasn't bathed since the day she was born."What the f*ck is this Gia? Have you finally lost your mind?" He asked as he rushed to open the windows for good ventilation."Owen stop shouting! I told you not to shout at me, it will affect my baby" she said but it came out as a whisper.She started rubbing her stomach as she said, "she is the only option I have to get Karl back"" Hey look at me," he said as he squat in front of her, he wanted to let her go and run to the bathroom to puke but before he does that, he needs to knock some senses into her."Karl is gone, all you have is your baby and us. So stop acting like a spoilt brat and get your ass off the ground, take a bath and come downstairs for breakfast" he said before standing up " Why should I?" Gia asked, "because your family needs you. Mom is downstairs wa
He was in the same club as Alice that day if that is true, the mistake he made can't be with her right? "It's been long enough" she replied to his question and he gulped down. "Alex do you still have feelings for me?" She asked after noticing the way he looked at her. "What if I do?" He asked with a nervous chuckle. "I knew it," she said, " Let's go to my office" she added and he nodded before igniting the car. *** Cole sat in a restaurant waiting for the person that called him. He already sent a message that they should meet in a restaurant. He has been sitting for five minutes and she is not there yet, he stood up about to leave when a middle-aged woman walked in. She looked suspicious because she kept staring at the back to see if anyone is following her. Cole recognized immediately to be doctor Ann's mother, Mrs. Jane. But why is she here? She can't be the person that called him can she? She doesn't look like the type of person who would murder someone else. It has to be
"I did nothing wrong! All I did was for the sake of our family" he retorted. " Family? Family you say? You did it all got your selfish interest" he spat. " Don't speak to me in that manner Cole I am your father and everything I did was for your sake, our family's sake" he said "Stop saying that! Do you even know what family means? You killed your flesh and blood. Your brother and sister-in-law and you said it is for the good of the family? For which family? The one you murdered or the one you are about to murder?" He asked. " Don't judge me when you don't understand my decisions!" He yelled, "don't expect me to understand your decisions when you don't explain them!" He yelled back too. They glared at each other for a while before Cole said, "don't bother explaining because no explanation can justify a murder" " I am not here to argue with you," he said in a calm tone, when are you returning home?" He asked. " I am not coming back to that hell you call a home" Cole spat. " You
Ann stared at nothing, it was not like she can see anything since it is dark. If she helps the big boss get rid of Whitney just like she got rid of Amber. She will finally be able to execute her plan.She will be beside Maverick whenever he's mourning. That was her original plan when she got rid of Amber but she couldn't do it because Maverick was affected and she felt guilty.She thought it was only Amber that will be in the car when the accident will happen and she will play the role of a good friend by consoling him.That was how she planned on winning his heart but everything changed when she found out Maverick was affected.But now she won't do something that will affect everyone else. She is going to do something that will affect just Whitney.But the big boss isn't after Whitney alone, he wants both Whitney and Maverick gone. She needs to do something so that Maverick won't be affected again.The last time he was lucky enough to just lose his leg, this time he might lose his li
"What did you just say?" Whitney asked as it felt like her ear was not functioning properly. "I said what if I married you because I love you?" He repeated the question and she smile nervously."Of course, it is a what if" she chuckled, awkwardly and he quickly corrected himself." I'm in love with you Whitney!" He blunted. "Stop pulling my legs, I never said I want you to tell me you love me," she said." I am not pulling your legs, I am seriously in love with you. I don't know if I was feeling it when I proposed or I didn't notice it but all I know right now is that I am insanely in love with you" he blunted." When did you start reading romance novels?" She asked and he frowned. Why is she talking about useless things when he is serious? "Whitney!" He frowned as she laughed covering her mouth and holding her stomach. "I am sorry if it sounds rude but you really looked like you memorized that line, and just decided to tell me, and after I will tell you how good your performance is
