He fell down the floor and a loud thud echoed in his room. He irked in pain and tried to get up but his legs couldn't even feel anything.
"Ahhh!" he screamed frustrated."Albert!""Young Master!"Both Christopher and Andy exclaimed, worried look were all over their faces as they came rushing in. Jaden were also present and he went in first.He held Albert in bridal style as the latter irked in pain. He gently placed him on his adjustable bed and reclined the head tilt.He glanced at Albert as he moved a distance and saw his desperate look. He felt pity on his Young Master who was once full of life and arrogance but now he looked like a living dead."Be strong, Young Master. Someday, you will meet her again!" Jaden smiled as he gently tapped Albert's shoulder.The latter just squinted his eyes on him then looked away."Albert, do you need anything?" Christopher asked anxiously."No, dad! I just fell while sleeping!" he softly replied.That afternoon at exact five, Samantha and Dr. Turman talked to each other about their super special patient's condition. Dr. Turman was just five years older than Samantha and he was a General Surgeon. He was not the so-called hot doctor like Sean but he was also good looking.He explained to her everything including his gastritis. That's why that evening, Samantha checked all of his food diet from the tiniest part to its fullest.Although, Doctor Turman's dietary plan was excellent, she still made sure that Albert had them on time.Aside from that, she stashed all of the hard drinks including soft acidic drinks in the fridge and in the wine rack. She changed them to milk and green tea with raw honey."Thanks Doctor Turman!" Samantha told Doctor Turman after an hour of serious talks in Christopher's study room.Christopher and Lauren were also present and they had a high hope that Samantha could make Albert walk or better to say, revive his lost life.
She fed him with gentleness and care not minding the curious looks of the people in the dining table.Dr. Turman's mouth which was full of food was slightly open. Christian was also glancing at them from time to time. Christopher and Lauren were smiling as they stared at each other."I think I am full!" Albert whispered when he saw that Samantha was still spooning some soup."Are you? But you have to finish this so you won't get hungry later!" she uttered as she put the spoon closer to his mouth."Do I have to? This soup doesn't taste anything!" Albert complained."For a while, you have to eat something tasteless. Your gastritis is almost severe. Here, just three more spoons!" Samantha explained while stirring the soup on his bowl.Albert had no choice but to follow. When he was finished with his meal, he glanced at her plate."You didn't eat yet!" he frowned."Ow! I'll eat now that you're finished!""Next time don't feed me anymore. I ca
"Who does he think he is? How dare him? It's because of you why I had those stupid photos, jerk!"Samantha was ranting alone in her bedroom after storming out in the rose garden a while ago. She was sitting on the edge of her bed while her hands crossed over her chest and with her legs crossed. She was glaring at the close door from time to time.She vented her anger for a while before she got up. But before she opened the door, she remembered what had just happened and got mad again."Albert Michaels, you think I'm still the same? You're wrong, moron! That Samantha who staggered everytime she was with you before is gone. Gone for a long time!" she grumbled in the air imagining he was listening to her.However, when she was done grunting and as she opened the door, she would like to shrink on her spot.A dark furious look was waiting in the entrance door."Done mumbling? If so, feed me my medicine now!" Albert annoyingly exclaimed before he turned aroun
"You're the only one who can help him. As a father, I'm begging you!""Master Michaels, I can't...""Samantha!"She shook her head and not even a single word from Christopher registered in her mind.She had her own thought.Own decision.Own plan....For Tristan's sake!"I can't afford to see him like this. I'm going to help him!"Finally, a glim of hope sparkled in the father's eyes. He clasped Samantha's hands that were resting and trembling on the table while holding one of Albert's photos."Thank you, Samantha. I'll always be grateful to you and to your two families, the Houston and the Reynolds!" Christopher uttered as he choked on his words.After that lunch meeting, she immediately filed for a temporary leave in the hospital where she was an intern. Sean was surprised with her abrupt leaving but when she explained that the patient was a family friend, he could finally understand."I'm not against helping him recover
"What is he thinking bringing that b*tch back here? We're already suffering hell from him and now he's bringing back his witch's wife?"Laila was grumbling in another guest room next to Samantha's room but just across Albert's room while fixing the bed covers and the pillows."I think I need to leave this mansion now. It's getting really hot here. Like burning, like lava. It's already hard to breathe!" she violently dropped the two new pillows covered with white sheets on the headboard when Samantha heard her voice in the entrance door."Hey!" she exclaimed as she opened the door."Huh! Sam, you scared me. I thought that witch doctor has arrived!" she uttered as she turned around."Somebody's coming? Who?" Samantha squinted her eyes on her and also looked around.The furniture in that guestroom were all new including the queen sized bed. The curtains were elegantly expensive. The fabric beddings were as soft and as fluffy as a white fur.When she w
"Dr. Houston? How are you related to President Enrique Houston of Houston Group?" Eve asked in slow manner.She felt totally intimidated by Samantha's aura."She isn't a servant. She is more like a queen!" she reacted inwardly."He's my brother. I've heard you're joining our ship. Welcome aboard!" Samantha smiled."Ahm yes! I am ~""She's taking some of your job, Dr. Houston. In case, you're gonna be busy with your sidelines!" Albert cut Eve in when he noticed that she was stammering.His words weighed a lot of meaningful pictures everyone could translate to their own opinions. But Albert and the rest were shocked with Samantha's come back."You mean the phone sex? Well, I'm really sorry about that Master Christopher and Madam Lauren. I was about to sleep that night when Young Master here called me in his room to give him his medicine. You see that time is always my schedule to have an intimate moment with my boyfriend in Ireland and my dear, I abs
"Señor Madrigal, why did you let her leave?" His bodyguard who shot Enrique and who made Albert cripple asked while giving him his favorite wine."Relax Mateo! She won't do anything wrong. I just put a special choker on her neck!" Benjamin sneered.He took the glass of wine from Mateo and leaned on his swivel chair. He was in his living room in his villa watching the blue ocean from his floor to ceiling glass wall.The scorching heat of the sun could be felt inside even if there were air conditioners in the wide living room. Its gaze was bright and the people below of his villa, right in front of the seashore were enjoying its hot weather doing tan, picnicking, and swimming."Señor, it has been a year. When are we going back to the US?" Mateo asked once again."Once everything is settled, we can go back to the US. For now, let's enjoy the pleasure of living cozily in this fantastic paradise!" he raised his glass of wine and made a toss. Mateo s
"Dr. Houston, I'm done washing him!" Christian uttered after an hour of steam bath.Albert always needed a steam bath for the veins and muscles of his legs. Samantha just smiled and nodded."I'll take care of the rest, Christian. Thanks!"She slowly twisted the knob and opened the door. Albert was already on his bed while the head tilt was reclined to sitting position waiting for her."Did you give Christian a headache in the bathroom?" she immediately asked as she rolled down his duvet."No! Of course not. You think, I'm that bad?" Albert replied in defensive tone. He was also frowning.When Samantha glanced at him while holding his thigh, he saw he gasped. She squinted her eyes and stared at him with a confused look."Do you feel anything?" she asked again while she started massaging his thighs."Huh? No, I don't!" he denied and couldn't look at her in the eye."Are you sure? Coz what I'm doing now is waking the muscles of your thighs!"
In a high-end restaurant in the heart of the city, two beautiful single moms were going to talk to clear a slate. They were both calm, grace, and dignified."You will always be my sister-in-law no matter what!" Liz sincerely told Samantha while the latter still felt embarrassed that she was one of those narrow-minded people who believed something was going on between them with her ex-husband."I'm sorry. I don't know what to say!" all she could say was this.But her actions spoke a lot of meaningful words she couldn't express in sentences."It's all right. It happens to people. And we are not exempted!" Liz just shook her head as she gave Samantha a genuine smile.Samantha left a light chuckle with her phrase and just like her, she also shook her head."Yeah! We are not exempted!" she repeated."So, when will you two get back together? Tristan is at his age to have a sibling. He's already almost ten!" she channeled their talks to another topic when they were done clearing things out."
"Albert is in Ireland now? Is that true?" Candice who had overseas photoshoots for months was surprised when Grace told her about what happened three months ago.She who never liked to watch nor read the news was really ignorant when it came to those current events but when it was all about fashion, she was number one!"Yes, Miss Candice. The hospital here transferred him to Houston Medical Hospital two weeks ago!" Grace sternly uttered."But why? The hospitals here are also good!" Candice still insisted on digging for more information about him."It was Dr. Houston's command!" Grace still casually replied though deep inside she would like to yell at her saying 'Stop wasting my time! Just fly to Ireland if you want!'"Okay, thanks for the info. Bye!" Candice told her in haste before she strode towards the lift.Inside the lift, she called her manager right away."Get me a ticket going to Ireland tonight. I need to see Albert!""Okay, right away!" her manager obeyed at once..After abo
"Sam, Isabella told me to come here to help you today and tomorrow. How's Young Master?" Laila was speaking to her as she opened the door while she strode to Albert's VIP Ward.However, she also halted in the middle and her exciting orbs went open as she saw who were Albert's visitors at that time.The four including Albert's doctor glanced in her direction and smiled. Laila would like to turn around and run away for a while but her flat shoes were nailed to the floor."Laila, right?" one of the doctors asked as he sauntered toward her.She just gawked at him. She couldn't believe she had just eaten her tongue. She flickered her eyes and tried to speak, but she staggered in her voice."Yes, dictor...I mean doc...tor...!" she shut her eyes for a moment while shaking her head. Then she composed herself and spoke again."Yes, Doctor Arnolds!" Laila finally uttered...without looking at him. Her eyes glanced around instead."Beautiful name...Like the owner!" Sean commented before he went ou
Earlier...When Albert saw the group of policemen about one kilometer away waiting for them, he did his best to draw Madeline's attention to something else while removing the cloth that was wrapped around his wrists."Why are you doing all of these? What happened to you?""What happened to me? It was you who made me this way. If you didn't cancel our wedding before, we're supposed to be husband and wife now, and maybe, we're supposed to have children now!" she yelled as her glare was burning his eyes."But you feel disgusted by me. Since that monster kidnapped me, you never talked to me again. You avoided me like I was a plague!" she kept on releasing everything that's been keeping her bottled up for too long."Then you suddenly fell in love with a servant? How dare you, Albert?" her fantasy was making her blind but Albert never really listened to her prattles."What's your plan on me now?" he asked as he sneered.Finally, he loosed the cloth. He sideglanced at Rona whose eyes were shu
"Grace, could you get me the reviewed documents from Houston Group? The one I approved yesterday!" Albert called Grace on his intercom but to his surprise, she didn't answer."Grace, the contract from Houston!" he repeated but still it was dead air."Maybe she went to the restroom!" he whispered as he walked out of his office to get the documents himself.But to his shock, he saw Grace lying unconsciously on the cold marbled floor. He was about to call 911 when somebody just hit him on his head. He irked in pain but he didn't lose his consciousness. As he turned around while holding his head that was hit, he squinted his eyes when he saw a sneering Katie appearance but he knew that was Madeline."You?" he exclaimed but even before he could push the alarm button, he received another hit that was stronger than the first. This time, he had lost his consciousness.Simon carried him back inside his office while Madeline followed. However, an employee who happened to pass by saw a glimpse of
She released an evil laugh while staring at the headline that bannered their glorious names:'Madeline Swan, Wanted! Lance Swan Captures!'She laughed at the authorities who always failed to arrest her.She laughed at Houston's men who were waiting for her arrival.Above all, she laughed at Albert and the Michaels for not sensing her closeness in their visibility."St*pid powerful people!" she aggravatingly snorted.She was holding a red wine while sitting on their usual white Italian leather couch.Where?In an originally breathtaking place that became a haunted house.Indeed, Lance helped her escape and fooled the authorities that she was going to Ireland. Her father prepared her hideout once again. But this time, no one would even think she went back to the city of opportunities, to that penthouse where two wanted criminals were killed more than two years ago. The one was killed by her."Miss Swan, they all thought you're in Ireland now!" Simon grinned.He was pouring Madeline a gla
"Even if you will kill me, I would never tell you where my daughter is. She deserves to do those things after everything that happened to her!" Lance Swan shouted at length in a wild, impassioned way."Congratulations, President Lance! You've just admitted you know where your daughter is!" Jake spoke in a contemptuous manner rather.The police station where Vanessa and Jake were assigned immediately arrested Lance Swan when Vanessa called that day.When the doctor in Maui nodded that it was Lance who ordered them to make Cheska's condition worst, she instructed her team to arrest him right away."I'm gonna be behind bars anyway. But I'm not going to tell you where my daughter is!" Lance firmly told him.Jake slowly leaned on the chair glaring at him while his fingers were rhythmically tapping the table. Just one more he thought. He might give this middle-aged man a knuckle sandwich.They were both startled when Vanessa opened the door and announced."Good news! The eel is in Ireland!"
At dinner, Albert brought Candice to a western diner. Her favorite. When the waiter arrived, he ordered almost all of her favorite food such as beefy casserole, cheesy turkey broccoli pasta, and biscuit topped chicken pot pie. He also ordered some dessert and a glass of red wine."Thanks for accepting my invitation, Albert. Even if our relationship is just a sham, at least you're still gentleman enough not to decline!" Candice shyly told him while she tucked some strands of her hair behind her earlobe.But Albert was way too busy glancing around while his hands were clasped on the table. As much as possible he didn't want to see Candice anymore since the latter started showing some interest in him."Ahm! I always love beefy casserole. Here, try some!"She stuffed a cube of meat in his mouth and because it was sudden he wasn't able to shun it. He reluctantly chewed the food while frowning at her."It's delicious, right? Oh, there's a sauce left at the corner of your lips!" She even took
In Maui Medical Hospital...Chester was staring at her weak pale face while his hand was gently brushing her hair. She was still unconscious but the doctor said, her condition was getting better.He gritted his teeth everytime he remembered what the doctor told them. He had been violated not just once. Based from the findings of a single pubic hair they saw on her thigh when the swat team saw her in the big empty house, the owner was Simon Flord."I'm gonna kill you, bastard!" he muttered while staring at her.He had been looking for Cheska since she suddenly left more than two years ago. He tried to call her but her phone was disconnected. He thought she intentionally cut ties with him so after months of trying, he finally gave up.When he heard a soft moan, he sat straight as he moved closer."Cheska!" he gently called her name.His blurry eyes were glued on her pallid face. He touched his cheek while his other hand clasped her hand with an IV dr
