Chapter Forty
"... And he just said good bye. Not even a parting kiss," Kiara moaned carrying a spoonful of ice cream and shoving it into her mouth.
"Wait let me get this straight... He just left like that?" Cindy asked surprised shoving a slice of pizza in her mouth.
Shelly took her time in digesting her pizza and ice cream before she made her own comment, "Didn't you tell him that you didn't want any emotional attachment?"
Kiara shot her a glare. "I didn't mean it. Haven't you heard of when a woman says something and means another thing."
Shelly raised her hands in mock surrender, "I'm not Logan!"
Cindy giggled and licked off the ice cream that was at the edge of the spoon. "No boy talk, ladies."
Kiara began crying again. "I don't wanna talk about any other thing. I miss Logan."
Cindy and Shelly both held her rocking her shoulders gently. "I'm so sorry," Shelly consoled her.
"I miss Logan so much an
Chapter Forty OneShelly groaned and stretched__or rather tried stretching herself because her body felt stiff and her muscles was seriously in pain.Argh! What happened last night? She tried asking this question aloud but realized she couldn't talk! Why couldn't she talk?!In panic she tried opening her eyes but she couldn't either, she couldn't even sit up! What the hell is going on?She heard a beeping then it became louder. Someone turn that damn thing off! She tried to yell but no words came out.Then she heard running footsteps and voices. She could barely hear what they were saying. She strained her ears to hear them so much that it hurt. She could vaguely hear a voice screaming her name repeatedly and crying. The voice sounded familiar.She tried listening again and she heard__not what she wanted to hear but different sounds they were so much that it gave her a massive headache. She tried to cry out again and plead with
Chapter Forty TwoShelly groaned as she opened her eyes then shut it back almost being blinded by the reflection of light. Trying again she opened it, focusing on one thing__Kiara's date.She saw that her room was empty and quiet. She felt her head throb from pain and groaned. Sitting up__or trying to she noticed there was something in her nose, an oxygen maybe. She couldn't care less as she pulled it out and made to stand up again.Suddenly she couldn't breathe. It was as if she was choking on the remaining air left in the room. She began gasping for breath and panting. She grabbed the edge of the bed so tight, she was sure her knuckles were white.The beeping thingy was getting more louder. Just when she thought she was going to go back into the dark place she'd come out from, a nurse entered her room.Flying out in panic upon seeing her condition and returning almost immediately with the doctor. There's something t
Chapter Forty ThreeShelly was aware of everything that was happening around her but she didn't want to open her eyes anytime soon. She didn't want them to know that she was awake and that she could hear them. She just wanted to die but the horrible death was not forth coming. She was scared that once she opened her eyes and saw them then she would lose her will to die.Her heart hurt more than any other part of her body. She was very sad and upset. How could life deal with her so badly and then leave her to live in pain it had rather ended her life than to make her spend the rest of her life pining for Ace, not just the one person she couldn't have but the one person that didn't exist.All the moments and time spent with him was the best and it was like an eternity. She had not loved Chase the way she love her imaginative Ace and now... now he wasn't real.A sob broke from her throat and she held it back crying silently. She could feel the
Chapter Forty FourShelly was accustomed to waking up in a bed that was hard. She had spent the latter part of her life__er...sub consciousness on a bed that wasn't so nice you'd think she wouldn't notice the difference if her bed was changed.Shelly knew from the moment she stretched herself and took a deep long breath that she wasn't in the hospital again rather she was in a different place.Opening her eyes there was no sun rays peeking in through the blinds. She looked around the new room and a smile broke out on her lips.She was absolutely sure that Kiara decorated her room again. She had had these conversation with her before she had the accident about changing the room wall paint and the interior design. She wanted something that looked simple but not necessarily normal. The design in her room was that of pure perfection.A painting of a landscape and two couple in love. The red paint with the combination of green and blue gav
Chapter Forty FiveNo freaking way!In the entire world it just had to be him that was her personal doctor. But what was the odds of that?Shelly recovered from her shock when Kiara spoke up in a perky voice. "Come in and check her. My guess is she's fine." She laughed and he joined her too.Her mind was still reeling from the fact that he was her doctor. Does he even know how to do his job well?Freaking motorcycle badass Logan was my doctor!, Shelly exclaimed inwardly.She watched as he advanced towards her and flashed her a smile. Do you recognize me? She longed to ask him but when she looked around the room, they were all staring at her.Wait, she had said that out loud."I thought it was only one single syllable she could say?" Cindy asked surprised.Kiara gave her a pointed stare. "Anything you wanna share with us?"Shelly swallowed hard. She had successfully managed to make her friends and doc
Chapter Forty SixFinally alone at last! Shelly thought as she stepped wobbly into her father's study and sat down, huffing on the seat.She had cried her eye out after her mom had left and decided to get up and stop being an invalid. So that's why she had walked from her room to here.She grabbed a folder and saw some documents she couldn't really understand. Her head still ached her whenever she was stressed.Squinting her eyes she focused on the documents and what she saw left her in shock.~~~~*Roy Champman rushed into his house, his heart pounding nervously and his head spinning. He couldn't think straight. Where exactly was she? Who took her away from him?"Where is she?" He asked his workers.They all bowed their heads down avoiding his eyes."Roy, we couldn't find her." He whirled around just in time to see Kiara rushing towards him, panic in her eyes."Where was
Chapter Forty Seven"This is the life, BITCHES!!!"Kiara and Shelly stood at a safe distance staring at Cindy. Yeah, it's Cindy that's hollering and trying to bring the entire house down."I just gave her one shot of tequila," Kiara said amused.Shelly eyed her suspiciously, "You and I both know that you mixed her drink."Kiara laughed. "Yeah, yeah. With a touch of whiskey and a little secret I ain't gonna share." With a wink she strutted off to the balcony throwing it open, bringing out her phone and taking a couple of selfies.Shelly ignored her and sat down on the bed as the music in the background played softly, a soft song was playing in the background. The song reminded her of when she spent her last day in her virtual world__now it wasn't a universe again, it was the movie playing tricks on her unconscious mind.The more she thought about it, the more she realized that she missed that world. She missed her boyfriend__or rather virtual boyfriend. Those memories are something she
Chapter Forty Eight"I still don't get it. Why? Why all of a sudden she wants to be part of our lives?!" Shelly asked for the tenth time today. She was in her room, staring at the blank screen of her television and imagining she was talking to her mom there."I mean who does that? You stay away for a long time then suddenly you're back. Things aren't been done that way."Kiara sighed. She knew all these ratings was giving her a headache and she didn't want that. She looked around the room wondering where Cindy had run off to. She had said she was being influenced negatively by them so she needed to get away from them.The resounding knock on the door interrupted them both from their thoughts."Come in." They both said in unison.The door creaked open and Adam poked his head in. "Am I interrupting something, ladies?"Shelly and Kiara whipped their head towards the sound of his voice and a slow predatory smile made it way up to Kiara's lips, "Actually doctor, you're just in time.""Oh, i

Chapter NinetyShelly chuckled as her mom stepped out of the dressing room."How do I look, Shelly?"Kiara sniggered and Cindy turned away while Shelly scratched her head awkwardly.It's been two weeks since the fiasco with her late uncle—God bless his soul as he rots in hell— her mom had recovered thankfully nothing happened to the baby and she had gotten better from the knife wound, Cara and her son had left the States to Paris.Christmas was tomorrow and it was also her parents' wedding so they were doing some last minute shopping and preparations that included dressing testing at the last minute for her mom had gotten so round and fat it was getting difficult to find the wedding dress that will be a good fit for her.So currently, her mom was standing and twirling around in front of a mirror as she admired herself in the half-cut white dress that protruded her stomach in a very visible way that made it seem like
Chapter Eighty-NineRoy Champman paced up and down in the police station waiting to make a statement and get a police officer to take back to his house so whoever it was that attacked his wife could be arrested.He couldn't help but be scared and think about what could have possibly happened to her. He was so scared he didn't notice the woman that walked in with a young boy till she tapped him softly on the shoulders."Roy Champman?"He heard the soft timid voice as he turned around and saw the face of a woman that was once beautiful except for the fact that her face had a large scar that ran from her right eye through her left cheek. She was almost blinded by the scar but somehow the scar hadn't affected her eyes.With her short black curls and brown eyes, she looked oddly familiar. But when his eyes landed on the little boy of not less than seven years she was holding his eyes widened in shock.The baby was a splitting image
Chapter Eighty-EightShelly crept towards the house and stepped onto the patio. She turned the doorknob as gently as she could but found out it was locked!Mom never locks the door, she thought quietly.Shelly peered into the glass double door where the balcony was, her mom was fond of relaxing there due to her painting but when she took a closer look she saw that the balcony was empty. On a closer look, she saw signs of struggle as the chair—recliner seat—which her mom sits on to relax what turned upside down.She saw a scrap of her mom's favorite gown on the ground—she had bought the dress for her—lying close to the front door, her heart skipped a beat as she realized that maybe there was a pervert in their house.Fear gripping her heart, she stepped out of the house and went outside to see if there was any weapon she could at least arm herself with. Her stupid phone beeped and she hurriedly muted it before r
Chapter Eighty-SevenLucinda stepped into the sitting room. She wondered when Shelly would get back from her friend's place. She grabbed her phone and dialed Shelly number then when she didn't pick up, she dialed her husband's number.He picked on the second ring."Hello, beautiful," her husband's voice sounded in her ears. She smiled so happily."Hey, honey. What's the reason for your happy voice?""The fact that you called me," he replied. She could hear the grin from his voice."Awww, you're so sweet. I miss you, come back soon okay." He promised he would be back soon and she hanged up.She massaged her temples feeling a slight headache, she dialed the staff number but remembered they were asked to go on a vacation.Sighing softly, she stood up to get the pills her doctor recommended for her from her room."Oh, look who's heavy again!"A startled scream left her mouth when she whirled around and s
Chapter Eighty-SixWhat comes to your mind when you are being taken to go see your in-laws? Bonding?Well, turns out Kiara's in-laws aren't so big on bonding together with their daughter-in-law specifically Kiara."Why do you think you are the perfect woman for my son?"The sharp voice of Ed pulled Shelly from her thoughts. He was staring intently at Kiara and just as her friend opened her mouth to respond a gruff voice cut them off."I believe that question should be directed to your son!"Shelly and the others whirled around towards the direction of the voice and saw a maid scurrying away quickly while two people stepped into the sitting room.One aura was as dominating and intimidating as the other that is Kiara's father—she knew that by the smirk and smile on her face—and Adam's father had the same aura and personality, while Kiara's mom and Adam's mom were Adam's mom had a cold exterior, Kiara's mom had
Chapter Eighty-FiveOkay, Shelly was intimidated right now.If she thought Linda was scary well here comes the creator of scariness. Shelly stared at the 6ft5 man in his early fifties as he strode down the stairs, an aura of confidence and arrogance radiating off him.Oh, Kiara, let's run away already, Shelly pleaded in her inner mind."Why are you being rude to our guest, Selina?" His hard voice was heard again as he stood in front of them.Or maybe he's not that bad, Shelly thought."I..."He raised a palm in the air cutting off whatever his wife was about to say. Shelly was impressed by this."Come in, let's all have lunch together." He waved them over to the dining area while walking ahead of them.Shelly walked towards the dining admiring the beautiful gold dining seats and tables that were arranged neatly.The arrangements were very good although the dining seating arrangement looked like it wa
Chapter Eighty-FourShelly stared at Kiara, an amusing smile on her face."Why would you be scared of going to see your in-laws?"Kiara glared at her, "Don't even try and tease me right now I'm not in that mood."Shelly groaned, "Why do I have to be the one to come with you I'm tired of meeting parents!"Kiara smirked, "Oh no that's not good! My parents are on the way so you will also meet them.""Mommy, isn't that bullying?"The tiny voice of Cassie at the doorway snapped Kiara out of her maniacally laughter."Bullying? Why would you say that?" She asked her daughter with a small smile trying to look innocent."Well, you told me that forcing someone to do something they don't want to do is bullying," she replied with a frown."Oh, but I'm not forcing your aunty to do anything," Kiara insisted.Cassie shook her head, "Nope, ask aunty Shelly nicely I'm sure she would go with you."Kiara
Chapter Eighty-ThreeAdam beamed happily as he stood on Kiara's porch. He rang the doorbell once waiting excitedly and nervous. He counted to ten but still, there was no response.Then as he was about to ring the doorbell again, the door swung open with full force and he saw Shelly glaring at him."Shelly?" He called not bothering to hide the surprise evident in his voice."You!" She jabbed a finger on his chest."Ow!" He winced slightly, "What have I done?"She narrowed her eyes to slits as she continued glaring at him, "If you hurt Kiara you won't leave this place alive!"Wait, what?!"Thank you for the warm welcome, may I come in now?" His voice was dripping with sarcasm as he flashed her a wide smile.She rolled her eyes then made a "hmmph" sound before opening the door wider for him to come in."Kiara, Adam is here!" She hollered before sitting down on the sofa her eyes still on him.He t
