“Who was that?” Declan probed his friend as soon as the nurse stepped out of the ward. At least, he thought she was a nurse, as no doctor would be doing ward rounds to feed medicine to patients when a nurse was already tasked to do that.Her movements had a certain familiarity to them, but she held back a little, noticing that they were not alone. At least Declan saw through their acts. Even when she left, Leonardo had a beautiful smile plastered on his lips, his look was also a dreamy one that he had never seen on his face before. “She’s one of the doctors here, Declan. Stop playing Mr. Cupid.” Leonardo fired at his friend, worried that Declan had already seen through his facade.“A doctor is attending to you now, huh? Doing everything a regular nurse should…Don’t tell me you already conquered this one too.I wouldn’t even be surprised anyway.” Any stranger may describe Declan as being too much, but Leonardo doesn’t care. He would have teased his friend even more if the tables h
“Daddy… Allow me to call you that one last time.I’m not angry with you anymore, okay?” Selene forced out of her trembling lips, her hands trailing Declan’s toned abs. “Please, don’t take me to the hospital, okay?Allow me to end this misery in your arms. It’s going to be a very long night, don’t you think?I’m really tired, Daddy.”When she made the final declaration, she felt so light, even though her body felt like it was going to explode from the intense heat coursing through her being. Selene was finally happy that she was going to end her miserable life that only existed to be fu*ked by a man for survival. “What’s the worst that could happen?” She thought resignedly. She felt it was better to end things naturally than fight any further. She hasn’t gotten any better, and if for anything, her condition worsened after her miscarriage.When Declan told her they were related by blood, she cried and went into brooding for a long time but taking things from a brighter side, she felt
[Hahhahhaaa!Big Bang indeed!Which big shot did they offend?][And they were knocked out with a bang!Hahahhhaaah!!!][They came and left with a bang!Laughing emoji…][I can’t believe this! OMG!!! Who could be this free?][I’m speechless!!!] [They came with a bang and left with a meow…Hahahahaaa!!!][Does anyone have the full video?I need to watch the first show of the Big Bang Crew][Such a solo performance. Hahahahah!!!][They must have offended a bigshot. I can bet my liver on it.This is hilarious!]The internet was on fire, as more and more netizens got to know about the laughable situation of the Big Bang Crew. As their first show, a lot of money was pumped into the event, since the agency had a lot of expectations for them. Even the grand venue is testament to the confidence they placed in the boys.They had a lot of followers on their social media pages, and even the short clips from the training sessions were well received by the youth. Hence, everyone knew they were s
“Mmmmm!!!” Selene stirred in her sleep, awakening to the sweet and aromatic scent of a sumptuous spread on the table across from her. When she suddenly opened her eyes, she noticed Declan standing at the door, looking tantalizingly bare chested.She couldn’t tell whether it was his looks or the various dishes spread on the table, but she felt her morning could never be any more beautiful than it already was. “Huh?” Speaking of mornings, she suddenly realized that the sun was seeping into the tent, and it was so high that it definitely wasn’t the early morning sun. Selene quickly reached for her phone and widened her eyes in shock when her mind registered the time. It was twelve thirty in the afternoon, and there was no way she had an excuse to give the directors. “Shit!!!” She quickly pushed the duvet off her body and attempted to jump out of bed. “Ouch!” She plopped back onto the bed, her waist hurting like she fell from a height earlier. Even her body felt so sore that Selene
“Come on, daddy, You didn’t even invite me sooner. I was dying of hunger, but I just couldn’t come here without… Forget it.” Chloe spoke while eating, unconcerned about whatever her father or friend might think about how carelessly she was eating. “Why couldn’t you come earlier?” Selene asked innocently, only to earn a glare from Declan. At the same time, Chloe shook her head at how clueless her friend could be sometimes. “You are one to talk?” Chloe mouthed in jest, ignoring her friend’s earlier question. Even her father’s warning gaze doesn’t affect her at all. “But Dad, you should reward me for shooing away your potential rival just now. I’ve been doing a great job in that aspect if you ask me.” She declared cockily, her taunting gaze fixed on Selene. “I was even the one who hid the… Aheerm…” Chloe stuffed her mouth with a lot of salad, just so she could prevent herself from saying too much. If Selene knew she was the one who hid her sex toys, she might just murder he
“How come Selene isn’t here? I was reliably informed that she was here a while ago.Why are you saying otherwise?” Celeste’s voice seemed low, but the director could feel the coldness in it. “Ma’am, all the cast have been advised to remain in their tents. Something happened yesterday, and for that matter, we cannot allow you to see her.” The producer regarded Celeste in an equally calm voice, letting her know that no one was going to leave their tents to speak with her. Moreover, she wasn’t there to have a one-on-one meeting with Selene. All she wanted was to be able to watch her daughter act out her scenes. It was going to be the first time she would be involved in anything that concerned her. She missed all the important dates in her daughter’s life, including her first birthday, first day in school, parent student games, and many more memorable events that she felt Tara had stolen from her. At a point, Celeste asked herself why Celeste would get to be with her daughter after e
“Ms. Grey…I…I…”As soon as Lulu set eyes on Selene, she felt both peace and panic at the same time. When Selene spoke, her voice registered in her mind as that of the person who tried to keep her awake when she was about to pass out in the woods. She even heard the faint voice of Lulu and someone arguing about saving her, and she could tell that the person had a go0od heart. After all, not everyone would be willing to get involved in a fight that had nothing to do with them. Coco would have even taken a snapshot of the incident, just so she could drag her name in the mud. She might even opt to blackmail her with it as usual.However, casting her mind back to what she was tasked to do against the young lady, she noticed that maybe Selene found out and came to question her about it. She even feared she had what it took to throw her in jail for what they did to her back then. As if she could read her mind, “Trust me, Lulu…I’m not here to hold you accountable for anything. Okay?I
“Okay, Lulu… Let’s hear it. What do you wish to tell me?” Lulu reckoned that the faster she got the issue off her chest, the better it would be for her. After all, why would she need to keep such a secret from someone who was being this nice to her for no reason? “I was the one who paid the bartender to spike your drink on the day you were captured with a strange man in the bar. I was even supposed to prepare a VIP room with cameras to capture your activities with someone, but I developed cold feet. Then, my brother fell sick and I totally forgot about everything. I’m sorry for trying to ruin your reputation. You really didn’t deserve that.” Looking at the panicky sight of Lulu, Selene kept her mouth shut, only addressing her silently with her gaze. Lulu felt so self-conscious that she wished the young lady would have said something to her already. The silence was killing her, but Selene was also in deep thought. “I’m really sorry, Ms. Grey. That night, Director Pierce was su
“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
“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. I believe her husband shielded her with his
