[Ring!]

[Ring!!]

[Ring!!!]

Selene’s phone continued to ring for the ninth time, yet, she didn’t bother to pick it up. She had been downcast since the day Declan broke up with her.

It’s been six days, and she still didn’t know why things turned out this way. When Manager Brent noticed how downcast she was, he tried everything possible to get her to say something, but she wouldn’t.

After requesting a three-day leave to see to some personal issues, she ended up taking seven, further pissing off the manager.

[Knock!]

[Knock!!]

[Knock!!!]

An urgent knock on the door compelled her to finally get out of bed and check who it was that came to interrupt her sleep at nine-thirty in the morning.

“Chloe…”

Selene called out in surprise. She didn’t expect her friend would be able to find her this early.

She has moved into the house her father gifted her at Peak Grooves, but she told no one about it.

“Wipe that look offf your face.

I’m your assistant after all.”

    “Selene, we both know his intentions are no good. So why are you entertaining him? Besides…” Chloe clammed up when she noticed how disinterested her friend was about everything she was saying. It was as if Selene didn’t care about her observations, and it was getting her worried. “You want to remind me that I already have a man in my life, right?” Selene’s gaze was fixed on her phone when she made the statement. “Well then… Spoiler alert, my dear friend… I’m as single as it gets.” Selene winked at her friend before offering, “You might want to follow me for the rehearsal. I wouldn’t stay here all alone if I were you.” … “Now that the event is over, I believe you won’t be leaving anytime soon, right?” Louis gently tucked a strand of loose hair behind Selene’s ear, being overly suggestive with his actions as usual. Selene also felt his hand brazenly brushing her elbow, before he went ahead to close the gap between them. She remained silent, as though oblivious to what h

    “Dad, if you want to get Selene back, I think you need to act now.” Doctor Leonardo read out Chloe’s tet message to Declan, who lay on the sofa as if he wasn’t bothered. His eyes were tightly drawn together, his jaw looking tense, and that was all he needed to know his friend was only pretending not to care. Doctor Leonardo then continued reading without knowing the bomb he was about to drop. After all, it was Declan himself that threw his phone at his friend to take a look at the message Chloe sent him earlier. “I think she wouldn’t be single by the time she returned to Bloomsbay. I’m not joking, Dad. Whatever differences you have need to be sorted out as soon as possible. Are you there?” Leo quickly dropped Declan’s phone and stepped away, doing everything possible to remain invincible. His friend had been in a terrible mood for a while now, and he knew it was time for him to stop reading whatever it was that Chloe sent to him. He suddenly turned into a babysitter, thorou

    “You’re awake. I never knew I could live to see you looking like a battered chicken.It’s such a sight to behold.” Declan mocked his friend while fixing his gaze on the scar on his forehead. He was doing everything possible to keep his anger in check, and Leonardo could tell his friend's true feelings, despite the relaxed front he was portraying. “Good to see you too.” He responded in a faint voice, his head resting on the pillow. The anesthesia he was administered was still affecting him, and his head ached so badly, despite all the painkillers he was given. Earlier on, Leonardo was driving to Elite Touch Medical Centre when a black minivan crossed him from nowhere and crashed directly into the driver’s side of his vehicle. The impact was so strong that if it had been an ordinary vehicle, he wouldn’t have lived to tell the story.However, he was lucky to have been driving one of Declan’s custom-made vehicles that had an extra layer of security, including bulletproof protection

    “Hi, Lulu.” A familiar, yet unfamiliar voice sounded in Lulu’s ears, causing her to turn around abruptly, dropping the cup in her hands with a clutter. She was so shocked to hear that voice, and was right to feel that way. After all, it’s not everyday that one’s boss visited the shared cafeteria for staff. “H… Hello Sir.” She responded in a meek voice, her gaze fixed on the ground. Seeing the man before her, Lulu couldn’t understand why he was there at the moment. “Do you need anything, Sir?” Lulu asked in a an unsure voice. She was uncomfortable about being in the same space with the man, and even if anyone walked in on them right now, they could get the wrong idea about the two of them. It was the last thing Lulu wanted right now. “Eeerrrm, Sir?” The man’s gaze remained fixed on Lulu, a small smile tugging at his lips. “It’s been a while since I last saw you. I only came around to say hi.” He said smilingly, his tender gaze still fixed on her, making her skin crawl with an

    “You took long enough, Lulu.” Boss Vicker acknowledged her as soon as she stepped into his office. On the day she was interviewed for the job, he happened to chance upon the application in the Human Resource Director’s office. Captivated by her pure smile, he requested the man to employ the young lady because she had a beautiful and contagious smile. However, the person standing before him didn’t have as much as a figment of the smile that drew him to her. After suffering a mild stroke, the forty-five-year-old man had to travel outside the country, away from the prying eyes of his children and other stressful factors that could hinder his full recovery. Boss Vicker was able to sail through the sickness in an unknown land because his mind was filled with the beautiful smile of a young lady. Now, he returned and rushed over to Hidden Gem Entertainment, only for the reason for his smile to be completely downcast and sad. Gone were the beautiful smiles that made his days. “Lulu?...

    “Why would you make such a decision, Selene? What changed? I thought you came all the way to inform me you had accepted my offer.” Celeste couldn’t fathom what could have made Selene change her mind. When the young lady called her earlier, she concluded that she had finally made up her mind to join Glitz Entertainment. However, she got the shock of her life when she dropped the bomb just now. She looked toward Chloe, then at Selene, and back to Chloe. She had a hunch that the young lady changing her mind had something to do with Chloe’s persuasion. After all, Selene’s exit from Golden Age Entertainment wouldn’t make her happy either. “Aunt Celeste, don’t look at me like that. I didn’t do anything. Ask her if you want.” Chloe pointed toward Selene and the two followed her direction with their gazes. If anyone was so shocked at Selene’s sudden declaration, it was Chloe. She was ready to hear her friend throw herself at the feet of Celeste, but what she didn’t expect was her utt

    “Isn’t it so convenient?Celeste, your shamelessness is truly unprecedented.” Christopher’s words made no sense to Celeste, as she was convinced that she was the victim in this case, and not him. She believed she might have committed her own sins in the past, but she didn’t deserve to be treated the way Christopher did to her.“Why am I suddenly shameless?Chris, don’t tell me I’m just supposed to suck it up because you say so.You took my daughter away from me.And, for twenty straight years, I was mourning my loss, while you and your freaking wife enjoyed your life as if Celeste didn’t exist. Must you punish me in this way?Doesn’t bearing you a child earn me forgiveness after everything that happened?Would you be this way if I had aborted the baby?”Celeste kept throwing question after question, but Christopher didn’t respond to a single one of them.“Shut the fu*k up, you bit*h!How dare you use that tone on me.

    “What do you mean, Dad? What can you not speak about?” Declan wasn’t convinced about his father’s response but became more restless at his hesitation. Paddy Grayson never kept him in the dark about anything he asked about. The man treated Declan like a treasure, giving him everything he needed and more. He noticed that whatever his father was hiding could only be forced out of him when he was brought to speed with everything that had been happening to him lately. “Someone tried to kill me, Dad. Again!” Declan spoke in a neutral tone, his gaze fixed on his father’s tense face. “Yesterday, my friend, Dr. Leonardo was attacked while driving my car. We both knew I was the target. It was perfectly staged as an accident, just like the first time. What happened twenty years ago has repeated itself, but this time, I won’t be silent. So, if you have something to say to me, now should be the time, Dad.” Declan declared once more, his words ringing in his father’s ears. “Someo

    “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.

    “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.

    “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

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.

    “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

    “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

    “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

    “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.
