“Si. Si. Si. Hablaremos más cuando regrese. Pero por ahora necesito ir a arrancar algunas malas hierbas. (We'll talk more when I get back. But for now, I need to go and uproot some weeds.) Rafaela had to say goodbye temporarily, even though she hated the thought of parting with her son. They spoke for a while, trying to catch up on the many decades they lost, and the short time just wasn’t enough. ¿Ahora? ¿Debes irte hoy? (Now? Must you leave today?) Declan wasn’t willing to part with his mother so soon. They just met a few hours ago, yet she was leaving once more. He felt as though he was losing her for the second time already. Odio separarme de ti, Santiago. Pero esto es muy urgente. Simplemente no puede esperar (I hate to part with you, Santiago. But this is very urgent. It just can't wait.) Seeing how hard Rafaela was having it to say goodbye to him, Declan decided to make things easier for her by making the process more smooth. He reckoned it would seem too selfish o
~~Violent Sexual Content ahead ~~ “So, Ms. Grayson, I’m so glad we did this. Your results came out, and you have some internal bleeding in the abdominal area.” Celeste was not ready to buy what she had to say. There was no way she was trusting the lady and believing that she truly had internal bleeding. “I was fine just a while ago. I bet it can’t be as serious as you’re making it sound.” She responded in a firm voice, letting Dr. Vilma know that she didn’t trust her one bit. Celeste only agreed to get tested because her daughter’s name was mentioned. However, the lady’s findinings didn’t sit well with her. “I know you do not trust me, and I have no problem with that, but you trust the person who sent me. If Dr. Leonardo hadn’t asked me to be here, I wouldn’t even have known you needed to be tested.” Vilma”s gaze was fixed on the door, as she watched the nurse step in with a trolley filled with various drugs and drips, and what seemed like injections. “We need to get to w
“I thought you already left a while ago.” Angelique asked, perplexed to see him seated at the visitor’s lounge in her mansion. She would be lying to say she wasn’t shocked to see him around. “I wouldn’t dare move an inch until I set my eyes on you, beautiful.” Benson remarked in a flirty tone. “I am not your plaything, Benson.” Angelique remarked sharply, putting up a bold front. She roamed her gaze all over his body, swallowed hard, and said to her assistant, “Take care of everything. I’ll see you soon enough. And I want absolutely no mistakes.” The assistant alternated her questioning gaze between her and Benson, then nodded bashfully, “Yes, ma’am. I’ll take my leave now.” Yet, she remained rooted to her spot, absentmindedly fixing a bashful gaze on the actor in front of her. She didn’t even notice the drool that was threatening to fall from her widely parted lips. “Ahem!!!” Benson cleared his throat animatedly, causing the assistant to flinch and stutter incoherently, “Erm…
“Yes… Noted. Thank you very much. I’m grateful.” Their manager ended the call and screamed at the top of her lungs. “Who the fu*k pissed off Phoenix Age Entertainment?” The words slipped from the manager’s lips as she quickly typed away on her phone. She expected the boys to attempt a response or say something in their defense, but there was no sound. When she finished sending the message, she slowly lifted her head and met an unfathomable sight. All the other boys were throwing daggers with their eyes. The focus of their anger was none other than Sunny Dale. “What the fu*k is going on here? Would you like to start talking? Damn it!” The group leader quickly recounted their encounter at the parking lot with Chloe, and she widened her eyes as wide as saucers. Seeing all eyes trailing on him, he spoke up, “What did I do? Why are you all looking at me like that?” “Everyone, out!” The manager spoke coldly, staring down at the boys. Her perfectly manicured nails drummed on
“Selene, who got you pregnant?” Celeste asked once again, trembling like a soaked kitten. She dreaded the answer her daughter would give, but she was still hopeful that it was someone else and not Declan Grayson. “Wow! Bunny, you’re pregnant? That’s great news.” Tara Anderson swiftly walked past Celeste and hugged Selene, who was lying frailly on the bed. She couldn’t believe she rushed there, all panicky, only to find out that her daughter was finally pregnant. This only meant that the effects of the crazy drug would finally wear off in her system. Christopher Davies also hurried to his daughter and gently caressed her hair, relief washing over him like never before. He knew she was finally going to be free, and she’d have her life back now. “Tell me, dear, what do you want to eat? Let me get it for you right away. You must be so weak and hungry right now.” Tara kept squealing like a child, as she probed her daughter. Selene was silent for a while, but Chloe suddenly spoke
“It’s so good to see you, Ms. Grey. Thank God, you’re perfectly fine. You are indeed a survivor.” Lulu burst out as soon as she laid eyes on the girls. When Selene saw her, she equally burst out in panic, “Oh my God! Lulu, have you had anything to eat?” She just noticed that she didn’t make any arrangements for the young lady’s meals. She was also certain that Chloe would be too caught up with the day’s events to even think about that. “I’m so sorry.” She added sincerely. However, Lulu only smiled and responded, “Please don’t worry about me. Dr. Leonardo already took care of my meal.” Her words were enough for Selene to calm down, but she couldn’t ward off the feeling that something else was on the young lady’s mind. She looked to be smiling with difficulty, and Selene could tell that all wasn’t well with her. “Are you okay?” As she asked this, Chloe quickly dragged the young lady into the bathroom, where she forced her to wash her hands and join in on the meal prepared for
“How about I say goodbye properly? You know you’re going to miss me. A lot.” Benson tried to sweet-talk Angelique into another round of fiery lovemaking. It could even be the fourth round in just a few hours. “Not a chance. I need to go to work, you know? I can't delay any longer.” The two had been cohabiting for seven days straight, and Benson didn’t fail to blow her mind at every attempt they made at lovemaking. She was also enjoying her sweet time, but it was now necessary to put her work before all the pleasure. “If all goes well, I may be traveling out of town.” Benson proposed, staring at the woman keenly. “Any news about the injured cast? Or, is someone else replacing her?” Angelique asked in interest, and Benson smiled wryly, all the while shaking his head to indicate that he didn’t have any details either. “It’s been four weeks already, and I think they finally realized they couldn’t hold up the whole cast because of a single person. The movie is being produced by he
As Selene sat in the van with her manager and Chloe, the newest released track from Nathan the songbird was playing in the background, and Chloe couldn’t hide her blush from anyone, no matter how hard she tried. “You seem to be loving his songs more and more, Chloe,” Selene teased her friend when she noticed how she kept zoning off into the song. She looked so infatuated that one would have thought she wrote the song. “I was there when this song was recorded. So, of course, I should be happy about it. What are you trying to say?” Choe fired agitatedly. “Fine. I accept that you just love the song because you can hear Lulu’s voice in it. It’s not because of the main artist. I hear you.” Her sharp retort was rather more suggestive than Chloe expected, hence, she could only look out the window and forcefully trail her gaze on the scenery. It was better not to respond to Selene. Even though she was in the car, the deep blush that creeped onto her face was enough to tell Selene that h
“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
