In Love Again 62: AN ACHILLES HEEL 1
Simon sat opposite Josh and stares at him with an expressionless face as Josh calmly picked up his cup of tea and drank it, acting as if he had no idea why Simon was there. Simon felt Josh was too calm and unconcerned for someone who had invited him to come to a place as far away as this, but he didn’t say anything. He was willing to see what this cousin of his was up to. Simon, even though he was seating alone with Josh, didn’t actually come to the restaurant alone. He came with Asher and they had arrived at the designated venue, three minutes ago, before they walked into the massaging parlor called sky run palace.On their way there, Simon fairly understood Asher's worries, the massaging parlor was inconveniently located on the far outskirt of town, on a hill amid the forestry by the roadside, and from the look of it, he had every reason to believe a lot of shady business occur there. The palace was officially a massaging parlor but also had a restaurant and a few rooms for travel

Alvira woke up rather enthusiastic about the day. She had spoken to Simon just a few hours before she went to bed the previous day and he had promised to pick her up after her classes in the evening. The mere thought of them going on a date again made her blush. But from the moment she got to the mansion, she knew something was wrong, the other maids who would usually welcome her with a cheerful, ‘good morning Alvria’ practically avoided her like a plague. It first happened in the dressing room. The place was as bubbly and as busy as usual, people were taking their baths and changing into their uniforms while others were rushing out to carry out their duties but the moment Alvira walked in, the whole place went silent as everyone turned and stared at her, one could almost hear a pin drop from the silence. Alvira was a little embarrassed at the silence and the way they looked at her with disdain, she couldn't help but wonder if they didn't hear that she poured the tea away because i

In a private ward at St. Joseph, a hospital miles away from town, the pulse monitor beeped continuously reading the rate of the heart in the process, Simon lay on the bed still unconscious, a neck brace around his neck and a drip attached to his hand. Asher sat in a chair beside him, a worried look on his face and a bandage wrapped around his head, he had woken up about an hour ago and was a little surprised but relieved to see that he and Simon had been transported to a hospital. The doctors had shown up and informed him that they had been in an accident and that had jump-started his hazy memory. He immediately got to work upgrading himself and Simon’s ward to a private one then having a thorough checkup done on both of them, especially after he heard that there was nothing wrong with Simon, as well as himself. Now he sat by Simon’s side waiting for him to wake up as well as for the results of the test they had carried out.Even though Simon was taking longer to wake up, he knew

The door swung open with a bang, and Simon turned around to see Alvira rush in with a face washed white with fear and sweat "Alvira?" He called with surprise. "God! Simon! You scared me!" Alvira shouted and busted into tears as she ran to him and fell into his arms hugging him. Simon didn’t have time to overcome his surprise when he felt her run into him.“You are not allowed to scare me like that again!” She shouted at him again and he smiled, his eyes softening in the process.He didn't seem to understand why she was there instead of his grandmother, or did they come together? He had believed his grandparents would be the first people to walk through that door now that he was at the hospital, but he was surprised to see that it was her, and it made him happy. All his life, no woman had ever been that worried about him, or being there for him in moments like this other than his grandmother and the thought that she was not just there but was worried about him made his heart feel wa

Simon slowly opened his eyes and stared at the ceiling for a while before turning his head calmly to Asher who happened to walk into the room at that exact minute, the bandage on Asher’s head was now gone and replaced with a small plaster, as was the neck brace on Simon’s neck. "How was it?" He asked and Asher beamed. "It was successful." He replied and Simon sighed heavily, swallowed, and returned his gaze to the spot on the white ceiling that his eyes seemed glued to. While it was good news that the spinal surgery had been carried out successfully, it still seemed too good to be true to him. The first thing he had done three days ago, was to convince Alvira that he needed to be discharged the day after as he claimed he had to make a trip to a meeting the day after and also that he would be gone for a while. Even though she had complained that he needed to rest more at this hospital, she still had no choice but to agree to let him get discharged from the hospital. He had gone home

Sarah sat on her bed going through a few family photographs, a faint smile tugging her lips, in fact, she had been a little bored these days. She had been rather excited when she heard of the supposed relationship between Alvira and Simon and had been even more excited when she knew Simon was really interested in Alvira, she had hoped after that dinner, she would hear more good news, especially from Alvira's mother who she had made it a habit to call frequently and gossip with. But she had heard nothing, in fact, it seemed as if nothing was going on, and their relationship was almost nonexistent. She thought and sighs, just then her phone rang and she picked it up. "Hello?" "What?" She frowned and stood up slowly. "How is that possible?" She asked, her frown deepening. She shook her head as she listened to the words of the other person, "I really don’t know what are you talking about, but you know what? I would find out what is going on and call you back." She informed the per

Alvira wiped the sweat from off her brows and sighed as she looked around the room she had just finished cleaning, her workload had increased greatly over the past few days and even though she knew it was purposely done by Lara to torture her she turned a blind eye to it, the best she could do was to adjust her shifts to before and after classes.Today in particular, she had changed her shift from morning to evening as she had been busy with her exams off late, what made things a little convenient was the fact that Simon was not in the mansion, thus the cleaning of the room was not as urgent as it usually was. She sighed as she pushed the cleaning cart towards the storage room downstairs, she stopped there, returned the cleaning equipment to their usual places, and headed for the changing room. As she did, her phone rang and she pulled it out of the pocket of her apron, looked at it and her eyes widened when she saw more than five missed calls, and they were all from Emily. Why didn’

Simon sighs and looks out the window. It was night already, and it was frustrating to sit there unable to do anything and just wait for others to do it for him. At least he had made a move first and informed his lawyer of the threat before the whole thing blew up, if not, it would have been really frustrating. He looked around the private room and found Asher wasn't anywhere in the room, he didn’t bother looking for him either, he knew he was working hard to keep things in check at the company, he pulled out his phone and saw the missed calls from Alvira, at the sight of it, he sighed again, she must be really worried about him, he had to call her and let her know he was fine. As he was about to do just that, he stumbled on the video sent to him by an anonymous number. He opened it first hoping to watch it before calling Alvira. He frowned when he saw Lana, Clarisse, and Alvira seated at a table in a cafe."I wanted to give you this.” Clarisse pulled an envelope out of her bag and p

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

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

“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. As a result, these two suspects are declared wanted….]The TV was switched off before the reporter could finish her report and Lana turned to Josh angrily, “What the hell do you think you are doing?! 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
