Did Director Pierce deserve what he got?
“Lulu… Lulu… look at me, Lulu.” Boss Vicker called out in a faint voice that conveyed concern for his little wife. Lulu heard him alright but was still unable to turn around and look him in the eyes. She felt so embarrassed that she wished to dig the ground and hide her face. She shut her eyes tightly, but he knew she was only faking it. Boss Vicker scooted towards Lulu and wrapped his arms around her gently. He pulled her closer, allowing their exposed bodies to touch. He then kissed her hair gently and requested firmly, “Lulu, I think you need to see a therapist.” Lulu went stiff under the duvet as she tried everything possible to remain invisible. It was an understatement to say that Lulu was embarrassed right now. However, she could tell her husband was giving her a way out. With a faint voice, she managed to force out weakly, “Okay.” After that, she went silent once again. Boss Vicker didn’t wish for her to feel that he was trying to shy away from her, hence, he added firmly
“I must confess you think too highly of me.“ Everyone who was eagerly waiting for gossip suddenly felt like their faces had been slapped by Kevin Mendz.The host wasn’t sure of how to react, as Kevin failed to play along and be shipped with Bella Grey. In his words, he was not worthy to be with Selene. The host felt that maybe she had heard wrong, so she pushed further. “Are you saying Bella Grey is out of your league?” Everyone expected Kevin to say something to lighten the mood, but he followed her as if on cue, “My point exactly. I’d be content with holding Bella’s shoes if you ask me. I hope that clarifies everything now.” He winked at the stupefied host as he stretched forth his right hand, offering her the microphone back.Kevin beamed with a smile, even after degrading himself in such a manner, but only he knew how tense he was all the while the host was asking the question. His back was dripping with beads of sweat as if the room had a problem with ventilation when, in the ac
“Thank you, all for trusting my wife.” These simple words shocked everyone, including Selene.Declan didn’t speak too loudly, nor did he have a microphone. Those in the audience didn’t hear him, but only saw him moving his lips. However, those around him were surprised by his clear voice, and even the host was taken aback.The host spoke in an awed and trembling voice that resonated with the moods of many other attendees. “Thank you all for trusting my wife.” She felt like she had witnessed enough surprises to last her a lifetime.She finally understood what Kevin Mendz meant earlier when he said he would rather hold Selene’s shoes.Kevin Mendz watched as the dazed Bella was led away by her husband, a knowing smile lacing his lips. To prevent the hosts from hijacking him with tons of questions, he deftly walked away from the stage and soon found himself in his seat.Kevin finally understood everything, as he noticed how tenderly his CEO usually looked at Bella. What surprised him was
[Breaking news! CEO of Golden Gem Entertainment involved in an accident][The accident was so fatal that they are all feared to be dead][More information will be communicated when we receive news from the Elite Touch Medical Centre][Information reaching us has just confirmed that CEO Vicker just lost his life in the ghastly accident][A truck lost its control of its breaks and collided with the vehicle conveying Boss Vicker and his wife]The famous news channels and various paparazzi distributed the picture of Lulu offering them a toast a few minutes ago. However, before the excitement could die down, news of their accident made another wave. Mercedes capitalized on the delicateness of the issue and let out news that her father had lost his life. She hoped such news would sway the investors and major shareholders to her side.As the world was in a frenzy, she quickly called for a board meeting, not bothering to look into what might have happened to her father, or how he was even far
“Doctor, h… how is my father?” Gilbert arrived at Elite Touch Medical Centre and introduced himself as Boss Vicker’s son. The nurses quickly showed him where his father was, as even they were wondering why no one had come for the couple yet. Lulu’s mother didn’t stay up, as she was an early sleeper and equally an early riser. Dr. Leonardo squinted at Gilbert and asked coldly. “Who are you?” Gilbert felt a bit embarrassed, as he was sure that Dr. Leonardo might have heard about him and his sister’s treacherous activities already. He was even the one who discovered what was wrong with his father before Vicker left the country to seek treatment elsewhere.“I know I’m the last person you wish to see here, but believe me when I say I really want to know how my father is doing. No evil intentions attached. “Dr, Leonardo watched him wordlessly, before turning toward Selene and saying, “Lulu is fine. We’re doing our best to save the baby as well. I believe her husband shielded her with his
“Grandma, why are you still awake?” Selene walked toward Rafaela, who sat on the sofa, checking the door to see whether it was them. She was surprised at the level of stress she was putting herself through.“I couldn’t sleep,” Rafaela responded, her gaze on Selene’s stomach. “When I heard the news, I got scared.” She confessed. The woman thought it was Selene and her son who were involved in an accident, and even when she found out that it was someone else, she still didn’t feel okay. Her rich Spanish assent always made Selene love the woman more and more. However, she kept praying to the heavens that she would wait till she delivered her child, so that they could help treat her leukaemia.“So sorry. I thought you were already sleeping.” Selene responded sincerely. Rafaela never stayed up beyond nine, as they prescribed a lot of bed rest, so her condition wouldn’t worsen. Hence, when Selene and Declan exited the award venue, she thought about checking on Rafaela, only to conclude tha
“Good morning, lady and gentlemen,” The company lawyer greeted, as soon as everyone was seated. He roamed his gaze across the room and realized that everyone was staring at him with expectant gazes. “As stated in the document in my hand, the CEO, Vicker Greenwood, declared that if anything were to ever happen to him, his wife, who is majority shareholder in Hidden Gem Entertainment, should assume the role of CEO. According to the decree of the CEO, I welcome the interim CEO, Ms. Lucinda Greenwood.”Lucinda walked in under the scrutinizing gazes of all the shareholders. She had so much grace and poise that no one could doubt her. However, it was still their money in question, and they still had to be careful about who they endorsed. “Greetings.” Lucinda spoke up as soon as she took her seat at the head of the table. She took in their shocked gazes and enunciated, “You don’t need to trust me. All I expect of you is to trust my husband’s judgments. If he has taken this company from gra
“What happened?” Declan asked the nurse as soon as he arrived at his mother’s ward. He feared what he might meet there, so he chose to first ask the nurse before going in. “The patient suffered an adverse reaction after her chemotherapy session in the morning. She’s stable now, so you can see her. Please go in. Dr. Leonardo would explain further.”The nurse directed Declan to his mother’s ward and watched him step away with heavy footsteps. Declan was worried about how long his mother would hold on till the baby was born.Dr. Leonardo gave them big news on the day they discovered that the babies in Selene’s womb could help cure Rafaela’s leukaemia, as he confirmed them to be a match. As a result, they have been hoping and praying that Rafaela should be around long enough for the child to be born. That way, they would have two bundles of joy, and still be able to save his mother also. Declan stood outside his mother’s ward, as he watched Dr. Leonardo busied himself with his mother. S
“Doctor, am I okay? I'm not dying of any terminal illness, right?” Miranda had a plaading gaze, hoping his next words would encourage her. She was all alone in this world - without a family to call her own. She didn't even know anyone who could tell her about her past, as she suffered from amnesia. Despite everything she's been through, Miranda longed to live and have her own family. She wasn't ready to die so young, not when she didn't have a love life or any children to remember her by. Her greatest fears have always been dying without anyone around to remember her. Meanwhile, the prospect of being in a relationship scared her in a way she could never explain. Leonardo was the first man to get her body to respond to him, and she finally admitted she wasn't a lesbian after all. However, he ended up hurting her so much that she got panick attacks sometimes, by just remembering him. She has avoided him since that day, not bothering t find out anything about him.“Calm down, Miranda
“You’re awake,” Miranda spoke in a low and detached voice, making Leonardo aware that she regretted their encounter as much as he did. He looked the young lady up and down, taking in the hickeys and other marks he left all over her body.Watching her stand at the entrance of the bathroom with a white towel wrapped around her body, he wondered why she seemed so nonchalant about what happened between them when he felt she was as regretful as he was. Droplets of water trailed from her hair onto her body as her chest rose up and down. When he took in the sight of water droplets settling on her collarbone, before getting lost in the towel around her chest, he gulped uneasily, sensing that his little member was getting giddy at the mere sight of Miranda in a towel.Leonardo’s mind suddenly had a fleeting thought. “Vilma never had such an effect on me.” However, as soon as the thought crossed his mind, he chastised himself for comparing Miranda to the gold digger. He didn’t notice that he
“Aaaaahhhh!!!” A slim and tall middle-aged man lay sprawled and naked on the ground in Bloomsbay Central prison. It was his cell room, but a few male prisoners who seemed to be with their boss surrounded him. Two men stood to his left side, as three others stood to his right. “Why do you keep screaming like a sissy, huh?” The leader roughly hit his ass with his right foot, exchanging a discreet glance with one of the three men, who began to undress himself.“Well, you just served two of us, and there are three more to go. So, suck it up and do your duties. I don’t want to gag you. Your groans are such a turn-on.” The man licked his lips and signaled the naked man to proceed, and the man began to scream once more. One would have thought that the guards outside the cell room would intervene in the illegal activity that was currently going on. However, they rather served as their lookouts, watching to ensure that the road was clear, and no superiors witnessed whatever was going on.Th
“How are you feeling?” Lulu asked as soon as Gilbert stepped out with a bandage wrapped around his right shoulder. The look of concern on her face shocked the young man so much that his guilt knew no bounds. “I’m fine. No need to worry about me,” Gilbert responded wryly, wincing from the sharp pain that just assaulted his body. What happened a few hours ago suddenly threw Lulu’s mind back, causing her gaze on him to be unreadable. She thought she was going to die, but Gilbert jumped and took the bullet for her. It still felt so surreal, as Mercedes aimed for her heart, and Lulu thought it was the end. Right now, Lulu saw Gilbert as her saviour, and nothing he said could deter her. Boss Vicker jumped in front of her when they were involved in an accident a few days ago. The heaviness in her heart at the thought of her husband lying in a coma because of her was unbearable. Dr. Leonardo mentioned that if Vicker Greenwood didn’t wake up before the day ended, it would only mean
In the forecourt of the Diaz Cartel mansion, numerous members trooped to the place, bidding farewell and giving their last respects to the figure who used to stand tall and lead them in all missions; dangerous and regular alike.Rafaela Diaz was a woman like no other, and it irked the young and old members of the cartel that a sickness like cancer was what it took to bring her down this way. She survived where many failed, but she still couldn’t conquer cancer. A young man stood before her picture, wept his heart out, as the others stood strongly behind him like a pine. Rafaela was the only mother figure he knew, but she was also gone.“Sé que era un niño muy testarudo, pero aun así me trataste como a tu hijo. Este mundo será difícil sin ti, pero sé que aún me cuidarás desde el más allá. Que te vaya bien, mamá. (I know I was a very stubborn child, but you still treated me like your son. This world will be difficult without you, but I know you'll still watch over me from the beyond. F
