He helped her sit up and she smiled and said “I'm fine” but she knows deep inside her that she's far from being fine. The pains plunging her body were severe. Richard helped her into the restroom and when she returned,he decided he would call the servants to order. Why wouldn't anyone be available or could it be that Anna didn't use the call button? He wanted to talk to her about Luna Wesley that she was out of prison. She'd regained her freedom but changed his mind concerning it. It's of no use, telling her the woman he used to love is back at the time when she was feeling so sick and vulnerable. Next morning, Richard Summoned the servants and told them to pay a close watch on their madam. He also phoned the hospital and requested for special nurses to be available, taking care of her and taking turns and shifts. “Isn't Adrian aware of his mother's condition?” Old man Lester demanded. What's the use of having a child that would not be there for you at such a crit
Did he hear what Anna said? Can the ears also be hallucinating? Of course not. He heard her words distinctly. He never heard the beginning,but he heard it midway and it's enough for him to conclude what the conversation was all about. At the same time, Anna's sixth senses perceived that someone might be close by, eavesdropping on her conversation and she turned back abruptly to come face to face with her husband. She was momentarily rendered speechless. How much did he hear and now knows? Or perhaps he didn't hear anything, he probably just stepped in. These naughty servants didn't use their common sense to shut the door after them, otherwise she would have known when he opened the door. But staring at Richard, he wore a poker face. She cannot ascertain if he heard or not. Hence she felt weak and gently used her thumb to hit the ‘end call’ and hung up. At that moment, many thoughts crossed Richard's heart. What does Anna know about the whole ordeal that Luna w
Richard waited patiently. Many years have passed. How can he not know that Luna was pregnant? How can he not know? He pulled her hand and placed it on his left chest, exactly where his heart beat and said “swear to me, Luna, if my question doesn't deserve a positive answer, swear to me!” He demanded. Luna pulled her hand off and glared at him. He wants her to feel his heart beating and then swear to him that she has his son at the time he was frolicking around with the mischievous woman he married. “What if I was pregnant? What's your business with that? Who says my son was fathered by you? You are not in any way related to my son. And yes, I had a son” Luna bellowed, her eyes locked with his. Richard's eyes went tender. He gradually softened his gaze and he asked “Why didn't you let me know that you were pregnant? I could have raised my son even if you were locked behind bars…” he demanded, his tone filled with resentment. “Why would I tell you about a son th
His lips touched hers. She still didn't move, he kissed her gently, briefly, intending to end it, but he couldn't. He kissed her more. And slowly, he felt Luna was responding. His hands circled around her and moved away from her back to the back of her head as he kissed her more. She kissed him back, and the real fun started. Luna Wesley knew she was doing what was wrong, but it doesn't matter to her what is wrong and what was right anymore. However life presents things before her, she would take it. Wasn't it wrong when another woman took her man from her? Or was it right that she went through terrible times and years of betrayal and separation from her son? Everything was wrong. She wants to go with what is wrong at that moment. Being with Richard, having his hands around her, touching and kissing her were things she should never get separated from, but it happened. She missed him. It's been a long time. She has his lips again, his body against hers, that charm
Elsie stepped away and bowed her head fiddling with her little fingers. Uncle Adrian is not a stranger, the little girl thought. He's uncle Santiago's friend and he has come to their house. Adrian glanced up and saw Aurora, standing with a beautiful evening dress. She dressed so simple and yet looked pretty and attractive. Being classical sometimes, is not in the dress but in the personality. She changed drastically from the woman she used to be, the daughter in-law of the Lester family that she used to be. Why didn't he see those unique features in her back then. He probably was blind, completely out of sight he guessed. Aurora descended the stairs and said “This is the last time I will be seeing you interacting with strangers. The next time you do it, I'll lock you up during sport time” she threatened,obviously referring to Elsie. Immediately Elsie's eyes welled up with tears and she moved away from Adrian. The latter saw her eyes and was displeased. She sh
Their union was never consummated and they claimed to be married? How did Elsie come about then? Who's responsible for Elsie and who is her father? Looks like this banquet was going to reveal things that were never known, things that Aurora never said to anyone in years, now it was ripe to be known to the ears of every one of them. “We're having a banquet. I think this is not necessary” Simon Blake interrupted them. This is getting beyond what he planned. He was going to use another approach but it appeared Jimmy and Aurora were getting faster than him. “No uncle. I am not interested in having a banquet with your family. I came here purposely to talk to Aurora about my daughter. But I respected you not to be too forward. I think we should talk about the most important thing first” Adrian suggested,his eyes darting to Elsie again. Their eyes locked and her eyes watered. It pains him that Aurora wouldn't listen to him to let Elsie be taken away. He doesn't want anythi
Aurora immediately dropped the gun in fright. She was scared and glared at it on the floor. Jimmy sprang up on his feet and picked the pistol. There's an accidental discharge. Two bullets have been released. “Why did you touch it?” He scowled. Simon Blake glanced at the pistol and with his eyes traced where the bullet landed, it was late because blood was already dripping on the floor. “Adrian!!” Santiago jumped off the sofa and went to his friend. He was holding the sides of his belly painfully and his hand was covered with blood. That was when Aurora glanced up and the sight before her was scary. She shot him, she'd killed Adrian? Charlotte rushed out, because she heard the noise, anyone else in the Blake mansion would hear it and those not far away would definitely hear it too. When Charlotte stepped out, Elsie also followed out and when she saw the blood dripping, Adrian being supported, her little fragile mind could not contain the shock, she went dizzy and
Aurora lost her composure. She got in the car despite being held back by her mother,she cannot imagine that she killed Adrian accidentally. When she got to the hospital, it was just on time that Adrian was being wheeled into the theatre. Being a doctor in that hospital, she went into the theatre unrestrained. Adrian was unconscious and his breath became weaker. She was glad, a trace of pulse was still left in him. It's an emergency case. She saw his shirt was pulled off to expose his upper body. The bullets have pierced his skin and wounded delicate parts in him. Blood was still oozing out from the hole the bullet made on his belly. “He needs to be saved. Nothing should happen to him” Aurora stuttered. She's fidgeting. She's in grave danger if anything happens to Adrian. He was running out of blood. He'd lost so much blood from the mansion until they got to the hospital. If it were some other people, they would have died already. Santiago just stood at
