Patrick was annoyed. He was displeased with Aurora. She shot Adrian and dared to call him, telling him she did that? No matter what happens, he can never give Adrian up for anything in this life. He loves Adrian despite his cold heartedness and arrogance, they still get along with each other in spite of the little things that make them frown at each other. “No, Patrick. It was an accident. I didn't mean it. It just happened and he was operated upon. Against the doctor's advice he returned to New Jersey and Clem said he is in a serious condition now…” Aurora was still saying when Patrick interrupted her. “I'll talk to you later” he hung up and called Adrian. Contrary to his expectations, his friend answered his phone and he asked “Where are you?” “In the Lester mansion” Adrian replied and Patrick hung up. He got ready and headed towards the Lester mansion. He didn't know that Adrian was in such a delicate condition and he's not by his side. When he arrive
Aurora was taken aback. Why is she asking her if he is dead? Elsie had suddenly become reserved after the incident that day. She knows it's psychological. It came to her as a shock, seeing someone bleeding that much. “No he's not dead. He's getting better now” Aurora replied, forcing a smile and talking flippantly, an act to make Elsie believe her. “Will you take me to him?” Elsie requested. It looked like he would die that day. She wants to see him and talk to him again. Besides, he bought her a lot of play things and her Mommy has asked that the servants throw them out and they did. “He's not in X-city anymore. But he'll come back soon once he gets perfectly alright. Then you'll see him” Aurora replied. Thank goodness that he'd left the city, otherwise she would have insisted on going to see him. As for coming back, Adrian will definitely come back again. If not for her, he would come for Elsie or Santiago. And they would stumble upon each other. Now that
In the hospital, Patrick Connor was seated with Luna Wesley. They had both come over for a DNA test as requested by Patrick. He had called Luna earlier that day and requested that the only condition in which he can accept her as his mother, is to be certain about the bond they shared. Quickly, Luna agreed to come over for the DNA. That's how they ended up in the hospital. Richard was not brought into the picture. Patrick doesn't want him to be involved with these. He already has his family. They shouldn't come into his life to disrupt their happy home. If he ends up being Luna Wesley's son, they'll have a severe relationship with Richard. It was while they were there that there was breaking news: Anna Lester was making a video from her bedroom. At this time, Adrian just locked himself up in his bedroom. His Mom pleaded with him but he refused. She should hand herself over to the police first. Perhaps her punishment would be minimal. But she needs to do the
Adrian read the posts and comments and took them all in. He didn't murder Ava Leon, nor her dad. Ava Leon was still alive but Sam Leon died before him but he didn't murder him. Those who don't know his story that accuse him wrongly would one day cover their face in shame when they will eventually know the truth. But Clem kept deleting the comments until there was none left. Every comment coming was blocked from coming online. Anna had made a confession and had been arrested by the police, that's what mattered. Patrick drove Luna home. He was protecting her. Her name has been mentioned and no one knows how they did it; her picture was now littering on social media. The pictures of the young beautiful Luna and her present pictures. He doesn't want the journalists to recognise her and starts bothering her with questions. “Lay low now, until everything is suppressed” Patrick advised when he got to her home. The bond was already forming. He never imagined t
Ava Leon closed her eyes painfully as she endured the torture he was given to her body. Tears ran down the sides of her eyes as she clutched the bedspread, to refrain herself from crying out. It was supposed to be something blissful. It was supposed to make her happy that finally, her husband spared her a glance. He had decided to bed her after two years of a quiet wedding. She was happy when he held her wrist and pulled her to himself. He held her tight and caressed her hair as he bent over and kissed her nape. She didn't resist him. She was happy that he touched her. She was super excited that he kissed her nape and she anticipated that he would kiss her lips and that's exactly what he did. He kissed her lips sweetly and she was happy. He didn't spare her time as he lifted her into the bed “I love you very much, more than my life” he mumbled drunkenly. She willingly took in his breath, despite the smell of alcohol. His breath and the smell of alcohol inte
It's midnight already and no one was in the corridor. Ava tiptoed into her room at the extreme end of the stairs and shut the door. Only after she bolted the door did she open herself to cry. She sobbed and sniffled. His last words before dozing off, played in her head. His heart will only beat for Lola. He said it repeatedly that he loves her. She must be a stupid woman to think that she could ever be loved and accepted by the Lester family. Was she an idiot to have thought Adrian, who despised her earlier that morning and wouldn't even respond to her greetings, would suddenly love her at night and make love to her simply because he was drunk? That serves her right to think too much. She sobbed. Her parents are poor and her dad had worked as the gardener to the Lester family for decades until he was involved in an accident and became bedridden. Two years ago, on her 18th birthday, she was told she would be getting married to the master of the Lester family. A
As suddenly as she bumped into him, he shoved her aside quickly like a flea and walked past her without a word. “I'm sorry” she quickly apologised. Her heart was beating fast and the memory of the previous night flushed through her mind. She went pale and quickly regained her composure. He walked away without turning to glance at her, he treated her like air, like she doesn't exist. People should use their eyes when they walk. That's why the eyes were located in the head and not the feet. How can she imagine that this fellow that just passed by her side, and treated her like a stranger was actually intimate with her the previous night? But it appears that he didn't remember the incident of the previous night. Was that really being drunk? Anyways, it's better for her that he doesn't remember or think it's the woman that he loves. But as Adrian passed by Ava, a scene flashed through his mind and he shook it off. Was he crazy that he would have the feelings
Soon, Ava set the table and everyone was seated except Adrian Lester. He soon descended the stairs in a blue designer suit and a custom made leather shoes. His facial looks were charming with his usual well treated comb over hairstyles and scruffy beard. His sharp penetrating grey eyes added to his handsomeness. Ava glanced at him briefly and quickly looked away. Adrian Lester is cute and that is not something one can argue about. But his heart seemed ugly. He is tall with a perfect physique that portrays him as someone who does a lot of work out. As Adrian Lester took his place at the dinning, Ava served him his sobering up soup but he tossed it aside and called “Ms, Alice” Everyone was surprised that he called Ms. Alice. If he wants anything, he could just say it and Ava will get it for him. But then, they all waited to know why he called the cook. Ms. Alice came over quickly and Adrian asked “the next time I requested a sobering up soup, bring it
