In Love Again PROLOGUE
Three years ago....."Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome with me to the stage the new CEO of Viva group of companies, Simon Walker!" the master of ceremony announced and the crowd busted into an applauding as the brightly smiling Simon stood up from his seat in the front row where he sat with his most immediate family, his grandparent.His black tuxedo complemented the pure black shiny shoes that he wore, his midnight black hair was slicked back and his dimples caused the hearts of the single ladies at the party to swoon.He walked up the small flight of stairs to the stage and shook hands with the announcer before turning to the crowd to give his first speech as the CEO, the light from the chandeliers that stood above him sparkled down making his tall and muscular build appear more enticing to the ladies, they all admired his looks not hearing a single word of the speech he gave."..... I hope together we can move the Viva group of companies to a successful future." He finished an

Present day.The loud crash of a fallen mug echoed through the Walkers' mansion early that morning, all the workers looked up for a second from their chores before they continued with their duty. They all knew in their hearts that soon the new caregiver would come downstairs with eyes brimming with tears and her bag on her shoulder, leaving the house never to come back."She lasted the longest. You know." One of the maids whispered to her colleague as she dusted the large shelf of the Walkers’ family library."That's because she has more endurance. Have you seen her when she takes his food upstairs? She's always shaking. I even heard the cook said she bawls in her free period, regretting ever choosing to be a caregiver in life." The colleague whispered back."Really? It must be hard on her. Sir Simon is just too heartless. Seeing the way he treats those poor women, I would never allow anyone in my family to ever work as a caregiver, being a maid is way better." The first maid said pa

Ben Walker stared at his grandson who lay on his bed with his eyes closed. He knew very well more than anyone that the young man was not sleeping. He was ignoring him like he always did, like he has been doing for the past three years.The only thing he did not understand as a father was why his grandson thought he was the only person suffering. He, Ben was the one who was suffering the most. He knows that his grandson, Simon has gone through a lot but he was the one who was here trying to get a young man that has given up on life to start living again.It had been him and Sarah, his wife, who had stood eight hours in that hospital praying for the success of his surgery three years ago. It was also him who had lost his son and his daughter-in-law twenty-one years ago. Why didn’t Simon pity him? Why didn't Simon show any pity for him?Was he being punished for a sin he didn't know he committed?He looked at the youth again, now with anger."How long are you going to keep on doing this?

An excited Alvira walked into the estate bright and early the next day. She was more than happy about the job. If she gave her best to the job and worked honestly, she could ask for an advance payment to restart her father's chemotherapy. She just hope the rich people's heart was as generous as the amount of money they would be paying.She knocked on the giant door that led to the main building after walking into the property for fifteen minutes undisturbed. The security men stationed at the gate had looked at her with pity and had let her in immediately, the moment she said she was the new caregiver but Alvira hadn't given it a thought, she was too excited about the new job to worry about their body language.If the worse got to worse she could just assume they were jealous of her as her pay was high and God knows they don't pay caregivers that amount anywhere.The door opened and a maid with a cleaning cloth in hand looked her up and down with a questioning look. Alvira beamed

"Sir Simon is Mr. Ben's grandson not his son." The maid who was leading Alvira to Simon's room said.The maid was relentless and was tiring Alvira out, from the moment the walk began, the maid has been giving her numerous rules of the so-called Sir Simon that she was not to violate.Don't admire the room when you go in.Don't add any form of sugar or cream to his coffee, he likes it black.Do not make a joke.Do not bother acting nice, he doesn’t like people who are too nice.Don't offer to do anything for him unless he asks for it. Blar…blar…blar..Alvira did not understand why the maid felt the need to tell her all this. She was an adventurous person by nature and would love to make her own mistakes and learn from them but this maid was bent on teaching her. If she is so knowledgeable about Mr Simon, why didn't she become his caregiver instead? Alvira thought as she came to the conclusion that the maid was jealous of her. A lot of workers here are filled with jealousy, she deduced.

Alvira sat on the small couch in the corridor behind the mansion replaying all that had happened earlier in her head. No matter how many times she replayed it. she just couldn't understand where she went wrong. It wasn't like they've met before. I mean if she had met him before, there was no way she could forget. He had such a strikingly handsome appearance. Then what was it?Alvira asked herself lost in her own thoughts, she had been brought down here after the encounter with Simon and practically all the maids in the mansion had gathered around her. The maids who now surrounded her gossiped about Simon, everyone telling their own version of how ruthless Simon had been to the previous care givers.Alvira looked at them and then finally understood why they were all acting weird that morning, they saw her as the next victim of Simon Walker and they all shared in the pity.The maid who had not only led her into the house but had also taken her to Simon’s room looked at her with distre

Butler Jared gave Alvira's innocent smile a weird gaze. The words she spoke was not only strange, they were also practically impossible and made absolutely no sense. Sir Simon would never ask anyone to cut off his phone connection from the main house.Seeing he didn't believe her Alvira sighed putting on her acting skills. It was a in this moments that the role playing she and her father always did would benefit herEven though she wasn't planning to be an actress but a marketer in the future, she could still act pretty well. "Do you want to go and ask him yourself? You can go. Just don’t call him. He is pretty annoyed about something that has to do with the phone. I don't know what it is." Alvira said skillfully with a depressed look.Jared, looked at Alvira again. He had already heard of Sir Simon’s anger this morning and was impressed that the girl could even go back there and convince Sir Simon to give her another chance to try.In the past, when Sir Simon told them to teach someo

Ben and Sarah laughed loudly until tears ran down their eyes as they listened to Jared tell them the events of the day, especially what had transpired between Simon and Alvira.Even though it was shocking to hear someone act like that, it was also a great relief, at least now they have someone who could match up with the stubborn Simon, and if all things were equal, she might be able to force him out of the prison that he had turned that room into. "If we had gotten her employed here earlier, I wonder how much progress we would have made with Simon," Ben said as he wiped his tears. "That is very true sir, not only did she force Sir Simon to let others help him, she also made sure he ate the breakfast prepared by the cook," Jared explained. "Really? He ate the food Edda made?" Sarah asked with surprise. "Yes madam, he did," Jared said. "Hmmm nice," Sarah said with a nod, "when did she get off work?" she asked again. "6 pm, she left when Sir Simon had his dinner and had no other n

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. 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
