….‘pregnant? Cherry is pregnant with my child? But, how do I know it is mine?’“A Baby? Cherry is pregnant?!” He questions the doctor and soon his eyes met with Maria’s uneasy eyes. It shows that it wasn’t new news to her because she already knew.‘she knew!’ he laments within.The doctor paused to study both Rex and Maria’s faces. He tries to understand the tension between the two of them before spilling out the bad news about Cherry’s critical condition, but the expression on Rex’s face shows that he didn’t know anything about the pregnancy.“I am sorry to interfere, but I thought you were aware?”“No, I think someone wanted to make it a surprise. I guess.” He glances at Maria and she looks away feeling guilty.“I’m sorry.” She whispered.“Go on doctor, I only hope that is the only thing I am unaware of.” Rex spoke sounding hurt and betrayed he had been kept in the dark for so long. Cherry’s secret pregnancy wasn’t the only thing that pained him but the fact that she was attacked a
A day after the terrible encounter at Cherry's apartment has passed and Susanna hasn’t shown her face ever since. Ann was worried when she received no calls or texts from the gold digress but all of a sudden her phone beeped and when she checks to see who it was, behold it was an urgent text message from Susanna asking her to meet. For some odd reason Rex declared a week part-time holiday for only staffs of G-Stark enterprise, it means not everyone is expected to come to work and those who decide to come will only work half the time they spend in a day and take the rest of the day off. It was like having an early Christmas.It was supposed to be Ann’s moment of peace and victory but she was sadder than ever. It felt like every time they execute a plan Rex is ten times farther from her reach. Because of this Ann is more desperate to gain power over Rex Angelo and Susanna is her stepping stone to achieve that.The previous day Rex was seen practically running out of the company as if he
A few days after the incident….Rex invited Maria over to his mansion after his visit from the hospital. It has been four days since the incident and she hasn’t woken up, though the doctors assured Rex Cherry and the baby would be fine in a few more days he really doubts it. Even when everything seems to be okay and the public isn’t aware of the pregnancy Rex hasn’t yet recovered from the shocking news about Cherry's pregnancy, more importantly, he wants to know why Maria kept it a secret from him for six whole months!.Maria arrived at the mansion an hour later but was hesitant to enter. She parks her car in front of the mansion and stares at the awesome heigh, most likely thinking about what to say if Rex questions her about the whole thing. Maria closed her eyes, breathing in and out, she allows all the worries and tension to fade away and summons the strength to walk up the door. A butler was there to welcome her when she knocked and she greets him. Maria didn’t need to ask the bu
Rex received a strange phone call from his mother later that evening asking if everything was alright. The manner in which she brought up the question had Rex thinking if his mother was hiding something or plotting.After the heated conversation with Maria, they haven’t spoken or called one another. Rex thought it will be best for them to take some time and digest everything discussed in their own time. As he made preparations to visit Cherry in the hospital that’s when Hannah’s call came in and he didn’t like it.“Hello, Rex.” Hannah greets professionally not the mother and son type.“Hello, mom, what is the matter now?” He bluntly asked so she knows this isn’t the right time for calling.“Is this the proper way to greet your mother?” She scolds.“I am sorry, how are you, mom?”“I’m good, and Kayla is fine-”“I didn’t ask about her.” Rex cuts in instantly.“I know, but you will one day. All you need is time to adjust, and get used to it because you will be seeing your sister around,
Gerald was again at work, minding his own business behind his comfortable desk when he suddenly received a call from Ann that Rex wanted to see him right away.“Mr Angelo wants to see me?” He asked Ann.“That’s what I just said.” Ann replied sounding bored.“Can I reschedule?” He asked. Ann's reply to him was by cutting the line leaving Gerald slightly pissed.‘what’s that woman’s problem? Ever since I had lunch with Cherry, she’s been a pain and always rude to me.’“What now Gerald?” A colleague beside him asks.”Mr Angelo is requiring my presence in his office.” Gerald explains. Though it wasn’t something to worry about, Gerald thinks Rex is attacking him for a reason.“Seems to me you got yourself an admire Gerald.” Another of his colleague nicknamed Tsear teases him.“Oh shut up Marcus!.” Gerald waves him off and arranges his desk before he leaves.“It’s Tsear for tease, Gerald. And if I can remember vividly, Mr Angelo has been on your neck for some time could he be into guys now?
The one week concluded that Cherry is supposed to stay has passed and there hasn’t been much development in her case, neither have they prepared the transfer documents as promised. Rex got impatient and worried that Ross intentionally didn’t want Cherry to leave, and using the opportunity of Rex's absence to delay the transfer pissed him more than ever. So Rex made up his mind to confront Ross on Monday morning.Maria was able to escape her parent’s house and the whole Spanish community that wouldn’t give her some privacy and dedicated to spending most of her time constantly checking up on Cherry and representing Rex who has been busy with the press lately.At some point that same week, news finally got out that Cherry had been hospitalized but the real reason hasn’t reached the public ears. Rex wasn’t so happy about it and vividly warned the hospital not to spread any information to anyone without first contacting him. If someone was after Cherry and the baby security measures needed
“I can’t go in and I don’t think now is the right time.” Ann whispers into the phone.“Yes, you can. It’s just a hospital filled with patients and busy doctors, just go in and get the room number that’s all.” Susanna persuades her on the phone.“You go in and do it yourself if it’s so easy!” Ann snaps irritably.“Fine, fine… I’m sorry. You should know there is nothing we can do if we got no info. Okay, let’s do it this simple way, you scout the surroundings including the back of the hospital, check for cameras and jot down the number of security personnel securing the entire place before making the first move to enter.”“You know what Susanna, I wished you were the one doing all the snooping because you seem pretty good at it. We talked about this before you screwed things, we said I do what is mine and you do what is yours.” Ann accused while scouting easy to navigate streets around the Town premise hospital.Susanna once assured Ann to enter without a mask on her face saying she ble
…All five were in the room watching the screen in dead silence, but Rex wasn’t satisfied having two extra males in the room. He didn’t want either of them touching Cherry but he had to hold on and not cause a brawl over something so little.“Can I have only female doctors here?” Rex asked the female doctor in charge.“Sir, you cannot request which doctor you want as long as they are there to help. This is not the time to rebel. Every doctor chosen here is only given the opportunity to assist Cherry for today. Should in case I can’t get a proper shot of the baby, they are here to aid our work sir,”“Don’t you have female nurses instead?” Rex persuades.“We do-”“Just focus on what you are doing.” He blurts out after Maria kicks his shin.Rex remained quiet and continued watching the screen as the doctor performs an ultrasound. At some point, Cherry twitched before resuming back to sleep.“There it is!” The doctor exclaims. “A beautiful healthy baby.”“Wow!” Maria exclaims.“How is th
