||Hardie Morrison||

In the next few minutes, she came back with the doctor, who check her heart stability.

"Her heart is breathing differently now and I assure you she will be..." The doctor was still saying when Arlington's eyes slowly open.

Is this for real or I'm hallucinating? Don't blame me because this feels too good to be true. Her pupils aren't visible at first since her eyes are rolled into their socket.

The doctor disconnected the machine from her nostrils when she was sure every this was perfectly fine with Arlington.

"Hardie...?" That was her first word and I couldn't tell how happy and excited I felt at the moment.

She slowly sit up as I did not hesitate to help her keep her balance. Her face was still pale and almost near white but it was full of life.

"I can't believe my eyes right now, I feel like they are playing dirty tricks on me." I muttered as I touched I face to feel them.

"They aren't Hardie. I'm okay now." Her voice was croaked but it was audible

He asked, his voice strict and demanding. "Did you, perhaps took it from me to do what you did earlier?"Amelia seems to get used to his strict and cold glare in the little space of time they were both opportune to have few talks.She was still smiling brightly at him with the smile reaching her eyes, Hardie was confused. "I'm asking you a question and you are here smiling?" He said with low grunt escaping his throat."Tell me, did I not have the right to smile?" She asked instead of answering his question.Hardie face palmed himself, clearly frustrated. "Seriously?" He huffed, glaring daggers at her.

    [72] ||Hardie Morrison||Since I know next to nothing about cooking, I decided it would be the best to ask Lincoln for help."So, what does the oh-so-mighty Hardie wants to prepare?" Lincoln asked wearing a teasing grin.I scoffed at how he stretched the oh-so-mighty Hardie. "Stop teasing, Lin. I want some thing simple yet satisfying." I muttered wearing a stoic expression. "What do you suggest is better for her?""You should know her better than any one, Mr Morrison. Think of some thing she would love." Lincoln replied in a flat tone. Here I am thinking he would help me out in choosing simple meal that's more presentable. Wait! What am I sprouting out? Like, is there any meal that isn't presentable?"Since you are unable to come up with some thing she would..."I cut him short as I recalled her favourite simple meal. "Macaroni and meat balls." I uttered in a sharp tone earning a creased brow from Lincoln. "She loves macaroni and meat balls.""Oh, good then." He replied plain

Mrs Grayson voice came up suddenly. I guess my mind was far away from here cause of jumbled thoughts and I did not notice her presence."I wish I can but what if she wake up when I'm away?" I replied, my voice was cozy from the sudden chill of cold from no where."I'm here. I'll make her understand why you are away." She uttered as she made to sit next to the bed. "Now go.""Fine.

"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.

It was hard to believe that after all the hardship they had faced together, their journey was slowly screeching into a halt.Hardie, in his usual assertive manner, told Lincoln that he did not plan of letting him go anytime soon. Despite anticipation, the words slammed into Lincoln's chest like a brick wall, causing him to struggle for breath.Although, Lincoln had mentally prepared for such a confrontation, the reality was far more difficult to accept.

  • His' Bait   Let her go

    [83]"Isn't she the same with her?" I heard her asked all of a sudden, her voice was laced with outmost surprise or maybe shock.I raised my head up to the television's screen, trying to figure out what she was talking about. It was Ms. Roselle, that was her name, Hardie's mom. Why is she on the media all of a sudden? "She's the one, right?" She asked again, this time turning to me. "This is Hardie's mother." "Yeah." I nod in agreement, drawling my words. "I'm sure she is the one, she looks like her and the name too." "Why is she on the screen then?" Charlotte furthered, staring questioningly at me. I frowned at her question, we are both in the same room and she is the one who had informed me about this yet, she is asking me such a question? She's seriously unbelievable! "Were you not the one who just told me about it?" I return her question back to her. "And we are yet to listen to what she might have done." "You are right." She said sounding defeated but I did not really care.

  • His' Bait   The same with her

    [82] ||•Lincoln Shire•||"Welcome..." The hotel receptionist uttered, wearing a delightful expression as she smiled warmly at us.I'm not the type that smiles but I was kind enough to reciprocate it. Charlotte, on the other hand, just gave her a slight nod with a blank expression on her face. It's obvious that she's too tired for all of this, every thing about her tell it all."Two VIP..." I simply stated but the stare on her face tells otherwise, I need her not to say much before I understand her expression. "We'll just hop for any available rooms left, okay. As far as it's as comfortable as a home, we have no choice to it."She shook her head with an apologetic look on her face. "I'm sorry, Sir..." She muttered, avoiding eye contact with Charlotte and I. "It's just a room left, all other rooms are occupied for the night."Mere looking at Charlotte, she was not comfortable with herself as she scrunched her face tightly in displeasure. "Why...?" She requested with indifference

    [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

    [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

    [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

    [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

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.

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..."
