[74] ||Arling Arlington||The woman here who said is Hardie's mother, well I need no proof cause the resemblance is there and its visible. I was wondering why Hardie did not get me to meet her."He never told me about her before, maybe because I never asked?" I muttered as I adjusted myself to sit well. "Hardie look almost like her though.""Hardie and I had a little fight and hasn't talk for years. He can be very strict and always entertain gaps when he is not in good term with some one, you should know about that." She said putting on a sad smile. "Its time we stop acting on our difference and reconcile. Hardie, where is he?""Hardie...?" I creased her brows and turned to mom. "Mom, where is Hardie?""He went home. He would be back soon, I guess." She replied plainly as she adjusted her sitting position.Hardie's mother and I mouthed an ‘oh’ as I flashed her a wry smile."So, I heard you are Hardie's fiancée." She said with almost blank expression. "You plan on getting m
[75] ||Hardie Morrison||What does that cunning woman takes me for? An old fo ol who lacks the thinking ability? Or may be I'm still the soft and tender boy she left many years ago? Does she think I'll accept her so easily after what she have done? Really? If so, then she is too ignorant to notice the change in me?If I'm able to forgive her for every other mistake of hers, how do I forgive her for mur dering my father? I partially blame my father for his dea th but that woman takes all the blame.‘...Don't trade your happiness for my safety...’ that words still echoes in my head. I wish I never listened to him then, maybe he might still be alive if I haven't.I would be glad to have her arrested and press charge against her for mur der. But firstly, I have no evidence against her. And secondly, since she hold a prestigious post here in States, she would surely find her way out with her cunning moves.My head was in total mess as it bang loudly. That woman surely has foxy mo
[76] ||Hardie Morrison||The weather temperature today was cold but not that very cold. That doesn't matter, what matters is Arlington would be discharged any time from now since I already signed documents for her to be discharged."Please, keep her under close watch and make sure she doesn't go under pressure. She should be stress free too and nothing should threaten her health status too." The doctor advised as he scribbled down things on a pad. "She is still prone to shock and I'm sure you won't want her to go in to coma again.""Why will I? I won't be foolish to repeat such mistake again." I muttered in response. I don't want her mom to take her far away from me, I won't be able to stand the pain that would come after it."Here are the drugs she will be using..." The doctor handed the scribbled piece for me, not after explaining each benefit of the scribbled drugs and how she's suppose to use them."When is she gon' be discharged?" Min hung was the first to asked immediat
[77] ||Hardie Morrison||It was hard to convince Arlington about the babies being alive, she felt we were lying about them to have want her to go home with out thinking of seeing the babies.For this, I have to asked the doctor if it was okay and safe to visit just for the air to be clear and he gladly permits with out blinking an eyelid about it."They are much stronger than they were in the last few days and out of danger too." He told me. "They are recovering faster already, it safe to visit them."Due to the babies being conceived earlier than they were supposed, one of them was too weak and barely look like she was going to survive as of when they were birthed.The impact from Arlington's fall made her weak and having almost near de@th experience. Thankfully, she turned out to be a strong survivor and did not d¡e and the other baby was safe too.I couldn't just imagine how hard it will be on Arlington to hear about one of the babies not surviving. She will definitel
[78] ||Ms. Roselle||There are so many things to regret but I don't think I have a reason to regret any of them, except of course, if I lose access to them.Yeah! That would be my only regret!How do I regret my source of income and wealth? Because I smug in drugs? Or because I'm an old stripper and a s3x worker? Probably because I rob dignitaries off their wealth?I've done and indulged myself in so many shits and dirty works and I'm glad I did, if not, how do I gather so much wealth in the nick of time?But of course, I do have one regret! It's hurts me and I'm suppose it's never too late to rectify it!No taming Hardie when I have the chance to was my only regret! I couldn't hold in the pain I felt seeing him succeed in his own games and outsmarting other drug lords in the game.Most time, I do wonder how he was able to attain such height at a very young age. He used to be the gentle type who barely talks or socialize himself with others, how did he turn out to be the b
[79] ||Hardie Morrison||"Ms. Roselle is coming home with us." Arling suddenly announced which made Hardie stopped in his track."What...?!" I blurted out, almost choking on my own breathe. " think I heard wrong, yeah. What did you say?""What did I say?" She repeated my question with her brows deeply creased. "I said; Ms. Roselle would be coming with us, did I say some thing awful?"These days, ever since this fóxy human suddenly introduced herself to you, I see you enjoy getting on my nerves...” those were the words I wanted to reply her with but said some thing else instead.I know and I'm sure of it, this fóxy human is trying to cause a rift between Arlington and I the same way she did to Amelia and other people too.But then, I would never give in to such cheap plan she drafted. I'll just have to pretend I never heard Arling speaks about her or made mention of her name."Aren’t you tired of staying here?" I asked, diverting the topic else where. "You’ve been in the ho
[80] ||Hardie Morrison||I speed up and in no time, we arrived at the park, the same park I brought her to couple of months ago. It was just few weeks after we met. Arlington was a little bit surprised, well, it reflected on her face."I guess I did not see this coming..." She countered with a soft chuckle after. "Why did you bring us here?"I ignored her question and helped her undo her seat belt. "Come on." I said instead and hopped down from the car.She hopped down immediately after I did before I was able to turn around. "I can always help myself with the door, you should stop worrying over little things." She said as she shut the car's door behind her."Little things also matters, Arling." I told her in reply and hold her hand, and intertwined it with mine. "What did you want?" "I want… that." She pointed at the cotton candy not to far from us, wearing a wide smile on her face. The smile of hers that I did not want to miss, not now or ever.I’ve done so much wrong
[81] ||•Lincoln Shire•||The day has been kind of hectic for Charlotte and I, tailing and spying on other lords just to get want we want from them.Well, as usual, Charlotte was used as the bait to get to them. I must commend how much she has done in the nick of time.She made every thing much easier for me since they are things I can do and places I can't penetrate as a male, yeah .Retiring for the day, we decided to lodge the night in one of the suites around till the next day.I would have vouch for a clubhouse instead because there, I would surely meet with new lords but Charlotte had insisted we get a proper night sleep instead.Well, I have no other choice to obliging. We will just find a suitable suite for us after we are done with our drinks. •••"I think I need a break after this." Charlotte muttered before chugging down her last cup of wine. "This is becoming much more challenging than it ever was.""What break —?" I asked with my brows raised in questioni
