THE FULFILLMENTIt's been five days since Markus told me he cared about me, and each day he didn't stop calling me to check up on me and I didn't know how to feel. He was still in Dubai but would be returning to the States in two days and for some reason, I felt happy to see him.Today I would be seeing the finished work of what Lola did to my bakery and I was so excited. I told her to surprise me because I saw what she had done to her brother's place and I knew without a doubt in my heart that she wouldn't disappoint me.We have been communicating about things like the colors I wanted, I'd already told her that I wanted it to be like a bakery and breakfast spot with a homely feeling so I expect everything to be perfect." Ma'am, what would you like for lunch?" One of the maids asked as I took a seat on the dining chair, I'd noticed that for the past two days, my eating had become something else, I now had the appetite of a whale and at the same time I had become quite selective with
THE FIRE ACCIDENT The smoke was becoming too much that I couldn't see any longer and I fell into a fit of coughing. I tried finding my way back to my bed but I was unable and it was even worse with my pregnancy, I was becoming short of breath because of the smoke.Would I get out of here if I couldn't call for help? Why do I always have to be involved in situations where I feel so helpless? What if, just what if I didn't get lucky today and there was no guardian angel to come save me?Just earlier today I was so happy that at least I had fulfilled something in my life, I was starting something on my own. Markus had changed towards me and I felt like I at least had hope but right now I didn't know how I felt, would I die here? I couldn't do this to my child." Please help, somebody, help me!! Please!! " Tears were streaming down my eyes and blurring my vision even more. I held my breath, as I stretched my hand forward trying to navigate my way towards the bed where I placed my phone b
PLEASE WAKE UPMy heart stopped and for a moment I couldn't hear a single sound as the world grew silent. If I heard him correctly, he said Jane got involved in a fire accident, what happened to her? Is she okay? Is the baby fine? I quickly came out of my shock and went into action. I started my car and drove out of the parking lot. I needed to be in the States as soon as possible. I quickly dialed my secretary's number." Samantha get the jet ready, we're leaving immediately," I said as soon as she picked up, I didn't give her time to respond as I ended the call to focus on my driving.My bags were already packed so I just asked to have them brought from my room and then I was heading for the airport. With how fast I was driving it was a surprise the Dubai authorities weren't already hot on my tail.When I got to the airport my secretary was already waiting for me, and without wasting any more time we entered into my private jet getting ready to take off.In all the times I have fl
WAKING UP" Thank you, doctor, I hope she'll wake up today," The doctor was looking at me and I didn't understand why until I realized I just thanked him, it wasn't something I was used to, I was just doing all these because of Jane, I was starting to do the things she did." Well Mr Arthur, I'll let you be with your wife," he said before making his way out of the hospital room.Someone wanted Jane dead, who could hate her so much that they wanted to set her on fire without caring that she was pregnant? it was pure wickedness and whoever this person was would get a taste of their own medicine when I got a hold of him or her.I turned back to Jane who still had the oxygen connected to her, the doctor had earlier said if she stayed unconscious for too long it might affect the child.God I didn't know what to do, I couldn't wake her up or I would have, what the hell was stopping her from waking up?I sighed as I rested my head on the bed as our hands were intertwined together when sudden
HIS JOKING SIDE" Water," she repeated in a whisper and I quickly rushed to get water from the table and brought it to her." Here, easy," I said as I put the cup to her mouth while she took small sips.When she was done she rested back on the pillow, closing her eyes. I wanted to see those beautiful eyes. I didn't want her to close them so soon.She took a deep breath before she blessed me with the beauty of those eyes. Her honey-colored eyes stared at me and at the moment I knew I would stare at them forever." The baby?" She whispered and I knew what she meant." The baby is okay, you don't need to worry about anything, just rest, you need a lot of it," I said to her as she nodded her head and then she made herself comfortable and closed her eyes to go back to sleep.I wasn't scared this time, I knew she was just sleeping and would wake up soon, this wasn't like when I wanted her to wake up because I didn't know if she was going to or not." I'll be right here when you wake up," I
THE UNWANTED VISITORS " I'm sure we've met before," the woman said like she didn't just hear me say I didn't want them here." Who the hell are you?" Markus asked in a hard voice that for a moment I was scared." Please Markus make them leave please," I said as I took hold of his hand that was close to me." You heard her, if she doesn't want you here, you have to leave," Markus said as he pointed towards the door." If I want to see my daughter, there's nothing you can do about it," my father suddenly said as Markus turned to look between him and me." Don't call me your daughter, you have no right," " Jane darling your father just wanted to make sure you were okay," Is something wrong with her? What gave her the right to think she could intervene in our matter?" Maybe you should have asked me if I was okay when he left us for you, maybe then I would have had an answer for you, so take your husband and get the hell out of here," My father looked at me like he wanted to say someth
QUEEN TREATMENT" Oh my god, Mr. Arthur, so nice to see you here," Lola said as I and Hardin exchanged a look not seeming to understand what was going on." Hardin, do you remember the rich real estate tycoon I was telling you I always wanted to be like, it's him," Lola said, sounding so joyful." I guess you should start finding a new one, he's not the best role model,"" What do you mean?" Lola asked Hardin, suddenly seemingly defensive of her role model." I asked you a question, didn't I?" Markus suddenly asked not caring about Lola's fan-girling." And I don't think I'm obliged to answer any question you ask me," Hardin said without taking his eyes off me like he wasn't even talking to anyone." Hardin," I tucked on his sleeve to signal him to stop, I didn't want them fighting again and I had to make sure Markus understood that Hardin was my friend and he had every right to come check on me." Markus please, he's only here to see me, I don't want you both fighting,"" He didn't h
THE SPECIAL CHEFI looked at Markus in surprise, did he just ask me to go on a date with him, like he just asked me? I remember we had gone on a date before but that didn't end well and he didn't even care if I wanted to go or not, he just told me to get dressed and he was going to pick me up, I didn't have a choice then, but now he wanted my opinion.I could either say yes or no." I'd love to go on a date with you," I said with a smile on my face. I couldn't say no with the way he sounded so genuine when he was asking me.We were looking at each other with big smiles on our faces when my stomach suddenly growled in hunger embarrassing me. I tried to cover my face but Markus held my hand stopping me." Don't hide that beautiful face from me for any reason." I blushed like I wasn't already pregnant." You stay here while I go get you something to eat," He said as he stood up and went out of the room while I just sat down and watched him leave.A few minutes passed and he still hadn't r
