In Love Again 52: A SEALED KISS
Simon sat silently in the car that drove him back to the Walkers’ mansion as he went through a series of documents on his iPad. Asher who had made it his job to drive him, glance at him from time to time through the rearview mirror but didn't say anything. He had noticed how oddly silent Simon had been since he got to work that morning, and as much as he wanted to ask what had happened, he knew to restrain himself. If Simon wanted him to know he would have told him. At least he knew that much from following him all these years. Simon let out a sigh and looked out the window at the bustling city as the car rode by and he suddenly felt slightly irritated. In fact, he had been feeling this irritated since breakfast this morning. He was too irritated to involve himself in the drama that had ensued that morning. He couldn't stand seeing schemers pretending to be innocent. "Take me to Alvira's home." He suddenly said and Asher was a little shocked, but he still obeyed turning the car a

Alvira's eyes widened with shock and her whole body stiffened when she felt the soft lips press against hers. His lips were softer than she imagined and even though she had fanaticized so much about kissing him, she was still shocked that he would voluntarily take the initiative. Did he just.... kiss her? Does this mean he also felt the same as her? She wondered as she blinked continuously. Before she could come back to her senses, Simon pulled away and looked at her as if nothing had just happened. "Stop being stubborn and let me treat your injury." He said and Alvira's mouth dropped open. She was being stubborn? Was something wrong with this man? How can he call her stubborn in this situation? How can he act like nothing just happened? He clearly just... Her other hand went up to touch her lips which still felt warm and a little swollen from the invasion, as she stared at Simon who was back to wrapping her injury with the bandage, his face looking serious. If not for the warmth

Alvira couldn’t calm her breathing until she entered her home and shut the door behind her. She rested her back on the door and held her hand to her chest as she claimed her breathing. This man was going to be the death of her.The day had started out terribly, at first, she had thought it was one of the worse days of her life, but now she wasn’t so sure she could still term it as that. It had ended in a way different from what she had expected. First, she had thought he would scold her for the morning drama but instead, he had kissed her, twice and confessed that he loved her! The first kiss was still okay, one could assume it was something that happened in the spore of the moment. In fact, that had been what she had expected him to say when he claimed he was in love with someone else, but then he claimed to love her and had kissed her again, and the moment he did that, she seem to have lost all her reasoning, and since then even until now that she stood in her home, she still did

"Do you really think Clarisse would go as far as poisoning Simon?" Sarah suddenly asked and the happy atmosphere suddenly seem to become gloomy. "I am not sure, but she seemed rather enthusiastic about sending Alvira away," Ben said with a frown, Sarah thought of all that had happened that day and felt unhappy.“You’re right. It was almost as if they had some personal argument of their own. Clarisse kept on accusing and pushing us to fire her continuously.” She commented and Ben nodded in agreement.At the time when Alvira had broken the teapot, Clarisse had been the first person to react. Even while everyone was still stunned wondering what had happened, she seem to have been more mad than shocked and even after that, she was still the one who accused Alvira and pointed out the fact that she had a reason for doing such a thing and had stated what her reasons were.Now that she thought of it, it was obvious, that Clarisse had taken advantage of the fact she and Ben hated indiscipline

Just as Clarisse and Lara agreed to become a team, a knock resounded on the door and they shared a glance.“It is time,” Clarisse said happily then strolled to the door and opened it, but didn’t let the maid come in like she always does, instead she stepped out.“How may I help you?” She asked sweetly and the maid blushed.“Good evening Mrs. Stone. Madam Sarah, request your presence in the living room.” She said and Clarisse nodded.“I would be there soon.” The maid nodded and left, Clarisse stood on the spot and watched her leave before she returned to the room where Lara sat listening to her conversation with the maid silently. She looked up at Clarisse, "Listen to me Mrs. Stone, you have to tell her the truth and be ready to leave the mansion. If you do, then they would be less suspicious and I would be able to not only get but also give you the information you need easily." She said and Clarisse giggled.“Oh, of course, I do plan on telling them the truth. My own version anyway

Alvira woke up to a call from Madam Sarah the next morning, she frowned slightly as she walked out of the bathroom with her toothbrush still in her mouth, she looked at the caller ID and picked it up. "Hello, madam?" "Hello Alvira," Sarah greeted as she glanced at Ben who gave her an approving nod and she sighed, "Can we meet? I would like to discuss something with you." She informed and Alvira frowned as she couldn't guess what they would be talking about. It was most likely that Simon already told them about the poisoning, so there wasn’t really much for them to talk about. "Should I come to the mansion?" She asked. "No, I would send you the venue and the time. Please be there on time." She said and Alvira sighed. "Okay, Madam." Madam Sarah hung up and turned to Ben, "It's done. Do you think it would work?" She asked with enthusiasm and Ben nodded."We have to try our best and leave the rest to fate," Ben said and Sarah nodded. She picked up her phone again and sent a messa

Alvira stood in front of the sky-high restaurant and frowned. When she had gotten the text from Madam Sarah that they were to meet at Lakeview restaurant, she had been a little confused. Why Lakeview? The restaurant was a place frequented by elites of all kinds, it was the one restaurant in the city where one could find celebrities, rich businessmen, and children of business tycoons all at the same time. Apart from the cost of food which was as high as the building, their customers were attended to according to the amount of money they were willing to pay. Thus one can say, the more you pay, the better the service you were rendered. That was the most popular slogan of Lakeview restaurant after all.It was a place that people like her could not even dream of going to, rather they would settle for hearing of it in adverts or online gossip. Now that she was standing here, set to have dinner here with Madam Sarah, it was more like a dream and she wasn’t sure if this was going to be a

No one bothered to speak during the elevator ride, Asher only looked at Alvira who was mad at Simon, and Simon who was lost in thought as he tried to wonder who would dare steal Alvira from him. In his opinion she was not like Lana. he wasn't going to let her go even if she loves someone else. He was going to cling to her until she falls head over heels in love with him. And if he doesn't succeed he was going to keep trying. After all, the only thing hindering him was his leg. That was the only thing the other party could have that he didn't, and didn't the doctor say he still had a chance at walking again? Even if it was little, he wasn't going to let another man snatch her from him. He was going to follow her to meet that man and state his claims.As they got to their floor and the elevator opened with a ‘ding,’ Asher’s phone suddenly beeped and he looked at the text message that had been sent for some time. He then glanced at Alvira who had walked out of the lift and Simon who

In Love Again EPILOGUE
In a small town somewhere in Australia, Clarisse walked down the snow-covered street vigilantly, dressed in heavy padded jackets with a scarf covering her face tightly. She had been hiding here since she escaped the country and had been listening to the news of Josh and Lana in the country.Hearing of Josh’s death, she was more than excited, she was even glad that she had left him at the time she did, if not, only God knows what would have happened to her now, as for Lana that delusional bitch, hehe. Serves her right. She rang the bell of her home, a small apartment where she lived with her boyfriend who she had found in her first week in this town. He was handsome and romantic and he just made her happy. She rang the bell continuously wondering why he was not opening the door. She walked to the one place where they kept the spare house key, under a stone slab by the door but the key wasn’t there. She tried calling him but his phone was unreachable, so she knew she had no choice but
In Love Again 95: THE FINAL STRUGGLE 4
It was obvious that Josh had finally lost his mind and was trying to get everyone killed. Lana looked around from her hiding place in search of Simon. In this situation, if she could escape with Simon, it would be great. She thought, forgetting that she was wanted by the law. Just as she saw him and wanted to crawl to his side, Josh also saw her, this woman owed him a blood debt, and she dared ruin his plan. He thought with anger as he saw many of his men fall to the ground dead, he also wanted her dead.He aimed for her head. At that moment Lana felt a sense of crisis, looked behind her, and saw him pointing the gun at her. Her eyes widened in panic. Josh smiled at her, he hoped she would regret ever talking down on him.“No!” Lana screamed before the gun was shot and she was silenced forever, a bullet hole in her head. Even until her death, she was looking towards Simon with longing, failing to realize he was not the perfect man she envisioned. He was a man with flaws just like ev
In Love Again 94: THE FINAL STRUGGLE 3
Minutes before the gunshot, Simon walked into the building flagged by Josh’s men, unaware that they had been followed by Asher and that the police were not far behind. The hideout was an abandoned food processing factory in an area marked for demotion in town, no one could have guessed that criminals were hiding in such an unstable environment. He followed the men into the not-so-tidy office that must have been the director’s when the factory was still functioning and saw Josh who he hadn’t seen in the past three weeks seated there with a smirk on his face.“Hello cousin, happy to see me?” Josh, who was resting back in the chair, his arms spread out and a happy smirk plastered on his face asked.Simon didn’t care about him or the men surrounding him, he didn’t even care if Josh wouldn’t allow him to leave this place alive, all he wanted to know was if Alvira was safe and sound.“I have what you want,” Simon said seriously as he placed the black box on the creaking table before lookin
In Love Again 93: THE FINAL STRUGGLE 2
Alvira felt herself sink to the bottom of the transparent tank the moment she landed in, only then did she notice that the rope tied around her waist was inlaid with sandbags to keep her at the bottom and made swimming to the surface hard.She tried to swim upward but it felt as if she was only expending her energy wastefully, while Lana laughed at her from without.Lana knocked on the wall of the tank, drawing Alvira’s attention to herself, before going to pick up a chalk and a board and wrote, “Didn’t you say you would rather die than let my plans work? What then are you struggling to survive for? If you die, Simon might just be free from me forever.” She wrote with a smile and the struggling Alvira paused.It was true. If she survived, what was she surviving for? Wasn’t it for Lana to keep on playing with her, hurting Simon and causing him to do things that he shouldn’t do? What was she living for if she was nothing but a weakness to the man she loved? She thought and suddenly fel
In Love Again 92: THE FINAL STRUGGLE 1
Detective Peter frowned uneasily as he stared at the location where the van had been seen, which was marked on the GPS map. It was about an hour ride away from the St. Joseph hospital and out of town, he didn’t understand why these men would come to a damaged car garage with Alvira.There was no hidden place to keep her there, so why bring her? Was some kind of exchange supposed to go on there? Why did he feel something was off? He was wondering when he got Asher’s call, when he heard Asher’s question he felt even more flustered and confused, was there something he was missing? He picked up his phone and called Kalvin.“Hello? Are you with Simon?”“Yes sir, he had an emergency, so I went to get the doctor for him,” Kalvin told him.“Okay,” That’s understandable, “But your Lane is with him right?”“...No sir, he went to get Mr. Simon something to eat.”“So you mean no one is with Simon at the moment?”“We…ll, yes sir…”“What!” Peter shouted and the detectives in the same car as him lo
In Love Again 91: TAKEN 2
“Josh! Josh!” Jared walked into the slightly messy but old office with anger just as Josh got off the phone with Simon. “Are you messing with me right now? Why didn’t you tell me when you got Alvira? It’s been five hours.”Josh's eyes flashed with impatience before he turned to Jared with a smile, “What are you so worked up about? I obviously tried to call you but the call was not going through.” Josh said as he placed another call.“Hello? It’s me. I need a huge diversion. One big enough to get those detectives out of the hospital.”Jared's face darkened when he heard the content of the call, “You are planning to send Simon over?”Josh glanced at him but didn’t respond immediately, he ended his call before turning to him, “Calm down Jared, we are all partners now. The least you can do is trust me.”“Trust you? You didn’t even call me over when you got her and now Simon is coming here. How can I trust you when I don’t know what exactly you are planning?” Jared asked unhappily. “If I
In Love Again 90: TAKEN 1
It’s been a week since Simon was shot and life became more peaceful than anyone expected. Josh and Lana disappeared from the eyes of the public and the police investigation was hitting a dead end everywhere. Their whereabouts could not be found and it was obvious that some powerful people were helping them, but those helping them could not be discovered either.For Alvira life was pretty much good, she and Simon were reconciled and they were even more attached than they used to be in the past. She guessed that when people go through challenges together, their feelings for each other get deeply rooted. Simon was still forcefully hospitalized, as his hand was still in the cast, and the new physiotherapist didn’t trust him to be careful with his leg even though it was fine. As much as she wanted to stay with him at the hospital, she also needed to rush back to school to finish her exams.She walked out of a high-end restaurant, with takeout bags in her hand followed by the detectives th
In Love Again 89: A JOINT PLOT
[A shootout occurred at a coffee shop down lane 23 today, Mr. Simon Walker who was present at the sight of the shootout was injured and has been hospitalized, as at the time this report was made, his present condition is still unknown. The police, during their investigation however discovered that Joshua Stone, a highly wanted criminal, working hand-in-hand with a woman called Lana Jones, daughter of the millionaire, Mr. George Jones was the culprit in yesterday’s shootout.

You. Shot. Simon? Why did you shoot Simon?! The one you were supposed to shoot was Alvira! That was the plan! That was why I got you out of jail?!”“Stop freaking out! You were there, weren’t you? He took the bullet for her, couldn’t you see that? He took it for her before my man could shoot her down.”“That’s a lie!
In Love Again 88: RECONCILED
The next time Simon opened his eyes, he was in his private ward at St Joseph Hospital. He looked around confused, tried to sit up, and was immediately helped by Sarah who had arrived at one point in time.“Grandma? What are you doing here?”“Silly child, what do you mean what am I doing here? I am your family.”“Yes.., yes, I know. I am sorry.” Simon looked around the room, “Alvira…, where is she?”“She’s fine. She’s giving her statement to the police as we speak and your grandpa went with her, I must say, you did a good job this time. Alvira finally forgave you.” Sarah teased as she nodded towards his casted hand which was hung to his neck.Simon followed her line of sight and sighed helplessly. His grandma was always like this, trying to cheer a patient with the weirdest joke. “Grandma, I didn’t wish to get shot at.”“But it was still a good thing in disguise, wasn't it?” She winked and smiled.The door to the ward opened and Alvira walked in, seeing Simon awake in bed she rushed to
