Alex woke up of his chair to leave.
''I wont be harmed?'',Rick said thinking about the threats that Alex made.
''I cant guarantee anything, Rick'', Alex said coldly.
''You said. I did what you asked!!!'', Rick said perplexed.
''Well , Rick. That depends on the outcome on John. You do know your wife had shot him!!!'', Alex said turning around and staring at the shocked face in front of him.
''What?,No. She wouldn't!!!'', Rick said,''She would never hurt a fly''.
''Wouldn't hurt a fly?'', Alex erupted in laughter,''Says the person who was an accomplice in killing an innocent baby eighteen years ago?''.
''What are you talking about?'', Rick asked confused.
''Never mind that,it's a thing of the past. Ask your beloved Sky!!! How she suffocated a baby to death,thinking it was John.Well looks like she decided to complete the job eighteen years later!!! If anything happens to him. You two are toast!!!'', Alex replied coldly.

Alex jumped into his car, looking at his phone. It was already way after 8pm. His phone blinked a red dot signalling a location.''I am a total idiot!!!'', Alex thought,''I had totally forgotten we implanted Sky's phone with a tracking device''.''Never the less, atleast Rick knows the truth,and lured her to a location. If she decides to no pitch up,this will be plan b''.He drove home as fast as he could. He needed to plan her capture.As he entered the door his worried parents met him in the passage. His mother was tearful but his father was geared up for the revenge. They all sat around the kitchen table and discussed at length different ways to not raise suspicion and capture her as stealthily as possible, Once they where settle Alex pulled out his phone and made a few calls.He decided not to involve the police. He wanted to be the one to take her in.It was now nine thirty , they all left the house. Mrs Jenkins insisted on
''I need my lawyer'', Sky shrieked as she was being shoved into the cell,''you can't do this to meeeeeee. Do you know who I am''.''A criminal!!!'', Alex answered mockingly.The jail cell closed and Sky held the bars tightly,her knuckles now white.''All of you will pay!!!'',Sky screamed on the top of her lungs.''Yeah , I'm sure'',Alex said as he turned around.Alex walked to the station commander and spoke to him in a whisper.He divulged only the necassary information.''John Smith?'', the commander shockingly questioned,''Was he not the gentleman that was here yesterday with the Walters family?''.Alex confirmed that it was,trying to divert his attention to the current situation but the commander was very persistent.''That boy seems to have trouble following him everywhere!'', the commander said amused.Alex avoided indulging the commander in his little amusement gossip. Sky had requested her lawyer and withing half
''Where do I go from here?'',Alex thought to himself as he stepped out onto the sidewalk.Looking up at the sign on the building while he thought to himself. John had left so many loose ends, Sierra and Jefferson are still in the New York police station,the place he had just exited. He knew John was just teaching them a lesson but he had no idea what the plan was. Who knew that this might just be the tragic end of his boss,his brother. Alex sighed. He was clueless what to do next.Alex jumped into his car and drove aimlessly through the city. His thoughts of endless possibilities. Finally at midnight he reached home. He was exhausted,mentally,physically and emotionally. There was just too much happening. He walked into the passage and was greeted by his mother who was concerned by her sons shabby looks. His eyes were red and his clothes untidy. He looked like a hot mess.She took his hand and led him to the kitchen table, fixing him a hot cup of cinnamon tea and a bowl
As they slid the stretcher into the mri machine, five doctors stood behind the glass looking at multiole screens in front of them. They all had different opinions as they looked at Jihn's brain at different angles. The swelling was making it almost impossible to see the bullet but the still squinted almost guessing the exact location.They were arguing amongst themselves when the door opened ,bringing them to sudden silence.Doctor Sanders walked in, his shiny shoes clicking on the floor as he walked passed them and looked at the screen. Absorbing the information and the different angles , he already knew what needed to be done.''Dr Chow, What is your take on this?'', Dr Sanders asked.''Well, I assume the bullet is here'', He sed pointing to the left side of Johns head. ''It entered here and should be here. So we need to go in from here and extract!!!''.''Doctors, do you all agree?'', Doctor Sanders asked curiously.They all looked at eac
The nurse that had prepared John for his procedure called for a hospital porter. Together the two wheeled him into the elevator taking him up to the 3rd floor operating theatre.The nurse looked at his pale face and couldn't help but feel sorry for him. He had all these tubes attached keeping him alive. She hoped that he would survive the operation. As a nurse you always feel the pain of your patient, you care for them and wish the best for them, she was one of them that always prayed for others.They reached the theatre waiting room. A theatre nurse entered gowned up in full scrubs to take over from the ward nurse." Mr John Smith, aged eighteen. Could not weigh hi
It was the early hours of the morning and Alex was in a deep sleep. His phone on his bedside table started to ring. Alex thought it was part of his dream but after the third ring he woke up in a shock. Looking at his screen blinking brightlyin the dark,he now realised that it was the hospital number. He answered the call without hesitation.''Hello'', the nervousness in his voice was evident.''Hello, is this Alex?'', the sweet voice on the line spoke.''Y..Y...Yes'', Alex stuttered . He was now wide awake.''My name is Sister Vanessa Francis from the Midlands private hospital. I am calling about John. John Smith'', She said calmly.Alex stayed silent waiting.''Well, Mr Alex. The operation is completed. We have brought John to the Intensive care unit.He is currently stable but we will only know the results when he wakes up.The next twenty four hours are critical.We have him isolated to avoid any sort of infection. We won't allow any v
The morning came quicker than he expected. Alex felt as if he had never slept. He rubbed his eyes and yawned as he stepped out of his bed. Feeling around for his slippers, he looked at the empty bed across him and remembered John.He slipped on his slippers and walked into the bathroom. Taking a cold shower and dressing casually, he went down for breakfast. He ate half heartedly before rushing out. He needed to go to the car wash. He knew he would be picking up Adrianna today and he needed to get the blood stains out of his car., He knew that it will bring back memories and emotionally break her. Around the corner he stopped at the Easy bay car wash. He parked his car and gave them the keyes while he grabbed a cup of coffee and a bagel. The sky was clear blue. The sun was bright orange . It was a hot day and Alex sat under the umbrella attached to his table and chairs. As he watched his car being washed he dialled Adrianna making sure she would be ready.
Alex led Adrianna to the lift, where they now took the elevator to the 5th floor. Walking down the long corridor they finally reached the luxurious five star private suites. It was like a hotel on this wing of the hospital. The nurses were all so polite as if they were air hostesses.Alex walked to a door on the far end and knocked gently." Come in", a sweet voice answered.Alex walked in with Adrianna behind him,"what a surprise, and who have you brought with you? Your wife?"Alex grinned from ear to ear," this is Mrs Adrianna Smith".
One year later.Patrick Walters had left this world. Adrianna and John had stuck to their word and did not divulge his secret. And in return Patrick Walters had stuck to his.He eventually broke the news to them a week before he could pass away.He had traveled the world with Felicia. He finally took the holiday. He finally spent timw with his wife. He did all the things he wanted to before he closed his eyes. Everyone was heart broken but they now knew that he was safe in the arms of the lord. He had one last and final request and they had honored it.He asked to be buried next to Annie. He knew he could not make amends in this lifetime. But he maybe after death he could.
The lights in the hall went out and everyone gasped. As a blue spot light shone on Adrianna only.The bright light now caught her by surprise. She was startled but held her composure.Although......She felt nervous standing all alone, she looked down and John was no longer in his wheelchair. Alex had also disappeared.She felt scared, her breathing was now frantic and her heart was pounding.Her mind was racing, all the thoughts of losing John flooded her imagination, her hands trembled.She felt she was going to have a nervous breakdown when a song started to play.She was taken out of her frantic mind torture. The song started to soothe her. It was a s
Alex, John and Adrianna now entered the art gallery in the museum. It was huge. Paintings were hung all over the walls. Adrianna absorbed its beauty. Taking it all in. She reached a sunset painting on the wall and froze.She could not help but stare at the name engraved in the bottom right corner.ANNIE WALTERS.Adrianna looked at John mouthing the words thank you. As a tear slipped from her eye she gently dabbed her cheek.This was something to be happyabout. Her mothers painting was in one of the worlds famous museums.She walked around a bit more until the MC took the stage and welcomed them.Adrianna walked to the front of the room where a high table was set up.She did not know what was going on, but she stood listenin
John and Alex arrived at the museum. It was just before 5pm. They place was full of people. He could already see Sierra enjoying the spotlight before she entered. John's parents where already at the venue. They had called to let him know.John looked at the reporters, every journalist is New York was here. He smiled. Today they would get a good story.He lookes at the spotlights highlighting the old museum. It made it look like it was an ancient relic. He knew Adrianna would love it. He loves it. "Alex, thank you. Everything is to the tea. It is better than I imaginedit"." If you think this is fly, wait till you see the inside", Alex chuckled.Alex got of the limousine and waited for the chauffeur to bring John's wheel chair, " do you really have to use this? I mean can't you just walk? You can say u miraculously recovered!!!".
Patrick adorned himself in the finest suit. Black with navy trimmings, a navy tie and a white shirt. He looked handsome for his age. For a dying man he looked happy and healthy. He smiled at himself in the mirror. Felicia was brushing his thinning hair. Today he knew that he would sign over his company to Adrianna. He knew that she was the most suited. She had earned it. Felicia had worn a navy blue dress. It was long sleeved and draped the floor as she walked. Her hair was curled and pinned to one side. And around her neck she wore her wedding jewelry set. A bright blue gem set onto a white gold choker. " You look ravishing my darling", Patrick said as he turned around to look at her. He hated lying to her about his illness but he didn't want anyone's pity. He knew he had just few weeks and after tod
Adrianna reached home after her spa treatment and hair appointment.Her skin glowed like a new born baby. It was soft and supple. Her hair had been put up loosely with curls. A few tendrils of hair fell lightly on her face,framing it. She looked gorgeous. Her make up was done plain but simple.Her eyes had a gold evening glow eye shadow with a hint of glitter.Her rosy red cheeks were powdered and blended. And her lips had a blood red lipstick which brought out her beautiful features.She looked at her nails, they were french tipped with red roses on them.She sat on her bed and applied rose scented lotion on her body. Adrianna changed into the lacey undergarments. They were a white lacey bra with neted tassels and a matching thong. She put on her ba
The doorbell rang and Adrianna answered it,it was the delivery guy. He had a big box and a boquet of roses and a card, all for her. Adrianna signed and took it excitedly, she knew it could only be from John. She opened the card. It was an invitation for a ball in honour o her. She took the box to the room and opened it. Inside was a white silk gown with red roses on the one sleeve, it was gorgeous, Adrianna held it against her and twirled. Her husband had great taste indeed. It had matching glass slippers and matching under garments. Adrianna's face flushed with embarrasment. She picked up the phone and called John,''Thank you, I simply love it''. John smiled to himself at her response, ''You are most welcome''. There was silence before they bid each other good bye. This ball was at 5pm. Adrianna looked the time , it was 10am. She needed to get to a salon and have her hair and make up professionally done. She wa
Two weeks were up and Lady Francesca and Andrew had returned. They arrived at the Walters mansion like a newly wed couple. ''Good morning Father, Good morning mother'', They greeted as they walked through the door. Patrick stood in shock,they were different. They had learned manners. Adrianna was there to welcome them.They hugged her tightly thanking her. Adrianna smiled, they had really changed. Jefferson and Sierra had also arrived and Andrew and his wife embraced them in warm hugs. They all thanked Adrianna. ''The person you need to thank is John. He had done all this to bring us all together as one big happy family'', Adrianna said. ''Let us all surprise him with a visit'', Sierra said. They all agreed and left to the hospital. As they all went into John's room they brought him gifts and were roudy. John looked at them confused. He wondered why they had all come. They dropped gift
Adrianna knew that that this week was going to be the toughest for some of her family members. Jefferson was gone to rehab, Sierra started acting again and Bradley was at work. Lady Francesca and Andrew had gone off to their couples retreat, leaving Michael at the Walters Mansion. Adrianna decided that she would start spending more time with her grandfather. She went to the kitchen and cut fruit slices. She walked out into the garden where she found Patrick sitting on the bench. Adrianna sat down next to him and offered hima fruit slice. Taking a slice of apple he started to talk,'' I don't know why I just could not accept her. She was so innocent and so pure. Humble and kind. Everything we were not,everything my children were not. Everything I had taught them were wrong. I don't know why I denied her space in the family burial plot''. At that moment Adrianna knew he was talking aboy her mother. ''I deeply regret everything,her
