Michael walked lonely in the quiet street, it was night time and he refused to go home, Gary and Fish kept following him silently and he stopped and turned to look at them "leave me alone."
"But young boss" Gary tried to protest and Michael glared at him."Leave me alone!" He shouted and ran away. Fish wanted to follow him but Gary stopped him with a shake of his head.Michael continued running, it seemed as if with the breeze brushing on his face, it was also brushing against his heart and he was afraid should he stop, all his pains will return in thousand folds, and so he kept running, running, trying to clear his mind from the scene he just witnessed. Around midnight, a heavy downpour started, he stood in the middle of the street and let the rain wash down on him as if cleansing him from his heartbreak.He found himself in a park, an abandoned park with litters laying every where, he walked to a bench and sat down, the rain still falling on him. The flowers have"I can't believe you!" Sasha stood up from the sofa, glaring at her father "so I was just a business proposal to you? My marriage is just a link to wealth to you? All this while you have think of my happiness as business? Dad I'm also a businesswoman and I don't only think about business. I want a home, I want to be loved and I want my marriage to work not for some stupid contract and some stupid business profit!" She turned and stormed out of the house."Sasha, Sasha, sweetheart wait" Angelica ran after her.Sasha got to her car, opened it, got in and zoomed off with Angelica watching the fading lights before storming into the house to berate her husband.Sasha got home, she thought about strolling down to Craig's house and remembered he had left the country for his daughter's birthday "shit" she cursed, she had actually forgotten about the birthday. She ransacked her purse for her phone and directly called him, he picked at second ring "hey.""Look who decided to call"
"Janet, it has started again" Sasha said into her phone."What has?" Janet's voice was heard from the other side.Sasha could sense the confusion in her voice and she heaved a deep sigh "the flowers. It has started again.""What? The ninety nine white roses? The mysterious flowers?""Yes. Everything you just mentioned is a yes" Sasha paused "I received one last night and it's as beautiful as always" she caressed the petal of a white rose "what I wouldn't give to know the sender, it's as if he knows when my mood is down and always want to make me smile with his flowers and to be honest, it always does. Whenever I see the flowers I can't explain this warm feelings that always flush in me and when I read the notes, it holds the most beautiful words.""Em... Sasha are you sure you are not in love with the sender?" Janet asked worriedly.Sasha chuckled softly "I don't know but whenever I think about his flowers, I can't help but smile and be happy. So yes, I might have
Michael was wheeled into his training room by Gary, an older man with white hair looked up and smiled when he saw him "Mr. Brown, so nice of you to join us today" he stood up and walked closer to Michael."Thank you Doctor Cage, I love my last improvement that's why I came" Michael replied with a faint smile."I'm happy you enjoyed your previous stay with us. So, are you ready for today's lesson?" Dr. Cage asked and Michael only nodded "very well. I will take it from here Mr. Wick" he said to Gary before taking his spot in pushing Michael's wheelchair. They went into a room where there were a lot of other patients undergoing exercises, some trying to walk, some trying to stretch their arms and some trying to stand.Michael stared at everyone who was busy trying to finish their own tasks and with a doctor beside each of them before looking at his doctor who wheeled him to a locker for him to change into more comfortable wears. After changing, Dr. Cage wheeled him to hi
Sasha opened her door at the sound of the door bell, she was shocked when she saw all her friends standing at her doorstep "whoa, I wasn't expecting all of you.""What! Not expecting us?" Agatha looked at Janet "but you said...""I told you I will call them to know if they are free didn't I?" Janet cut her short and asked Sasha"Well you did say that but I wasn't expecting them to be free, today is Saturday after all, the day you all get to spend time with your families" Sasha smiled."indeed we do spend time with our families but that doesn't mean we can't forgo a day to spend time with our friend who is in need of our company" Marilyn said and the rest nodded in agreement before making their way into the house past Sasha who could do nothing but shut the door after them."So where is it? I can't wait to see....oh my God!" Agatha exclaimed when she saw the big bunch of flowers sitting on the dinning table looking so beautiful "why do I feel like this one is more beau
Vanessa let out a soft breath "but if you are not with her since then, why let another suffer?" Michael looked at her sharply "I'm fully aware of how you have treated Sasha this past year, I just don't understand why? When I showed you her picture then, you looked, I don't know, shocked to see her and you agreed to marry her before I could finish my sentence, leading me to believe she might be an old acquaintance or better still, the one you have loved all along but then, you will travel out of the country without telling her, you never took her to a date, you never went out with her apart from coming home or going to her parents place with her, what is wrong Michael? Why are punishing her for the mistake of another? Is it her fault your first love didn't choose you?"Michael closed his eyes at her words "mom you don't know anything, stop assuming" he snapped.A flare of anger flashed in Vanessa's eyes "well I don't care if she accepted you or not, if she dumped you for anothe
Michael downed his fifth glass sluggishly with Gary looking like a white ghost sitting opposite him and chiding himself, he promised not to get drunk and to only take a glass, now look at him. Next time he is not going to listen to any word he said, he promised himself."You know my mom came home today. She threatened me that she will not accept any other woman as her daughter in law if she is not Sasha" he poured himself another glass of the drink and raised it to his lips, finishing it in one go.Gary wanted to snatch the drink from him but he can't, he is just his worker after all "wow, then madam must really love Miss. Sasha."Michael nodded drunkenly "I was surprised today. Mom has never chose anyone over me but today, she chose my Sasha. I should be angry but I'm actually really happy because, it's an evidence that I'm not blind by loving her for nearly fourteen years" he chuckled "mom has just spent a few times with her and is already webbed in her charisma and charm
Michael grabbed the handrails as he slowly but gently takes each step, he was sweating profusely and was breathing heavily, with each step he took, his hands tightened on the handrails and his brows creased tightly. The gentle voice of Dr. Cage urging him on while he stood behind him, ready to grab him should he lose his balance."That's it. That's it. One more step. You are getting it. You are getting it. Go on, keep trying. You can do it. Good work, now one more. That's it. You are doing great. Marvelous" Dr. Cage kept praising and urging him with each step he took.Michael let series of hard breathing escaped through his mouth, beads of sweat forming on his forehead and soaking his body and the hospital cloth he was putting on. He took one step and stopped, panting, his eyes closed as he tried to endure the pains that surged from his waist down to his feet, he licked his lips and slowly opened his eyes while shaking his head softly "I can't go on" he breathed out."No, n
Michael was in his study when a knock came and Gary walked in, he was carrying a stack of documents and snappily walked to place them on the desk. Michael watched all his actions without uttering a single word. Gary sighed as he searched through the small tower of documents and pulled out one which he handed to him.Michael lazily stretched out his hand and took the document, he lazily flip through it and froze when he saw the heading 'Divorce papers' he looked at Gary immediately who sighed and then shrugged before saying "it was brought to the office this morning."Michael nodded and his hand shook before he closed the papers "I'm not signing it.""Boss, the lawyer said that mistress hope you will sign it as soon as possible.""I'm not signing it!" Michael snapped, he looked at Gary "you know everything, how can you ask me to sign it?""But you sitting here and saying you are not signing it is not going to help the matter, you need to do something.""Put the lawy
