"Uhmm..."Jessy kept looking at her, she couldn't believe her eyes when she saw her face in the news. "Five years ago, I would have kept you imprisoned even if I had to, if I knew you were planning of leaving. Eve. This time, you are back. You can go nowhere again." Jessy smiled at her with teary eyes. Audrey smiled a bit sadly, "I am sorry, Granny.""Hmm, I forgive you but there should be no repetition of this mistake again. Ok?"Sitting silently with an indifferent facial reaction, Audrey didn't know what to say. As Jessy noticed how she was staring around, Jessy understood what she was thinking."Apollo is not here. Rest assured.""Ohh." Audrey held her hand and assured her, "Granny, I can't promise you but... But I can promise you we will always get to meet each other. I won't disappear again.""Are you still angry at my grandson? You don't... Don't want to stay with him?""I..."A little bit hesitant, Audrey bit her lips. Upon seeing her sad eyes, Jessy held her hands. She smi
'Where are we going exactly? I don't feel like he is intending to tell me. So, there's no meaning of me asking him anything...'Sitting in the car next to him, Audrey played with the ring in her finger. After she woke up this morning, he told her he was taking her somewhere but didn't say anything about the venue. Strangely, she noticed he was too silent today, too calm and like an effigy. Without her noticing, it was making her sad as well."Uhmm...""Wait for me, I will be back soon." Saying so he left the car. And soon he came back but she saw there was something in his hand. Leaning a little close, she could see a bouquet of flowers but for whom those flowers were? The whole time till they reach the destination, he kept staring at the space and uttered no words. 'Did I perhaps miss something?'As she was following his footsteps while he held her hand, holding the lilies in her hand a sudden feeling of comfort and peace took place in her heart. 'He came to visit someone...' Ta
Audrey took a short breath, she kept calm and asserted, "Patrick, actually...""Wait, I am coming. Ahh, Audie. Grace is calling for me. I have to go now. I'll call you back soon." Click!"Hello? Pat..." The call was cut off before she could tell him what she intended to do, Audrey let out a sigh and put her phone on the side of the table.There, Patrick kept staring at the screen of his phone with gloomy eyes when his hand gripped the phone tightly. 'I know what you want to say but I don't want to hear it. I can't...'Taking a deep breath as he stood still near the pool, thunder rumbled in the near distance. The dark clouds reign the sky, calling for rain.Patrick moved swiftly to the living room."Grace, the weather is... Where are you going?" Seeing Grace walking in a hurry towards the entrance, he questioned.Grace in an indifferent tone of voice answered him, "I am going back.""It will probably be raining soon. Why don't you stay here for tonight?"To his suggestion, she hurrie
* The Next Day *"Then I am going to the office." Apollo was reluctant to let go of her hand. Audrey pulled her hand and walked away, giving him a cold smile.Finally, he felt everything was going back to the way they were in the past. With a broad smile on his face, "If there's anything you want to talk about with me, then call me right away. Ok?" He blurted out, quite loudly so she could hear him."Ok."As he left, Audrey hit herself gently. 'What a fool I am! He smiled at me a little and I melted... No way, I cannot make the same mistake again.'* Some hours later *Settling herself on the swing, Audrey smiled at the phone screen."Gramps, don't forget to take your medicines in time ok? I am not there but that doesn't mean I don't know anything. Uncle Vivan told me that you skipped your medicine yesterday. It must not be repeated or I will just...."Saun grinned and said, "It won't happen again I promise. Your uncle Vivan is keeping an eye on me, I can't make the mistake even if I
In front of room no. 607, ten bodyguards were standing in a row. Patrick walked in the room and saw Saun sitting in a wheelchair. "Mr Cassidy, you wanted to see me." He politely uttered so.Saun humbly had him sit on the settee and handed her an envelope. With a deep sigh, he asserted, "I have a favour to ask you." "Me?""Yes. And I want you to do it without my granddaughter's knowing. Nobody should know about it either but if Miss Grace wants to help, then you can take her help as well."Patrick slowly opened the envelope, the moment he saw the papers his mouth made the shape of 'O'. "This...""I know what you want to say but I have my reasons. I hope you will help me with this." Saun voiced such in a tenacious tone."I have got it, sir, but... I need some time to think."*"Mr Lucas, there's bad news.""What happened?" Lucas seemed unconcerned, now he was the least worried about anything else.His secretary sounded distressed, his voice whispered how much terror-stricken he was at
"What happened that you had been acting like you saw a... A ghost." The words stuck in his mouth as he entered his office. Apollo froze at the spot, his facial muscles tensing up and his eyes wide open. He couldn't believe his eyes."I was talking about this. They... They said they had an important meeting with you, Mr Wyatt." Noah asserted in a low tone of voice, pointing his hands at the twins who were sitting on the couch as if they own it."They look exactly... Exactly like me. How is this possible?" Apollo heard his inner self murmuring.Twin boys who kinda looked like Apollo himself marked his office as their territory, at the sight of them Apollo felt like he was dreaming. He turned his head slightly towards Noah and then back at the kids but nothing changed, he was not dreaming.Apollo unhurriedly sauntered towards them, still in complete surprise. Upon seeing Apollo standing at a near distance, both Preston and Maverick stared at him, watching him from his head to toe as th
* At the airport *Taking her earphones off, Isla tapped on her phone as she looked at the distant road. Nearly ten passed she had been standing at the airport but nobody came to pick her up.Strange! She was told to wait and someone would pick her up.Slightly annoyed, she was about to make a call when suddenly a car stopped before her. She heaved a sigh but not until a familiar figure hurriedly came out of the car and asked her, "Excuse me, Miss. Are you Isla Campbell?"Isla stared at him, the man she had been looking for was right in front of her, she couldn't be happier than she already was. She smirked at him and then took off her glasses.Noah dilated his pupils, he didn't like the sight of her at all.Smilingly, she replied to him, "Yes, I am.""Please get in the car then." With those words, Noah was about to get in the car when suddenly Isla held his hand.He glared at her annoyingly and she let his hand go. Pointing her hands at her luggage she grinned at him, "Please help me
The living room fell silent again, standing opposite of each other, Apollo broke the silence finally. "They are... They are my kids, ain't they?" He asked, his emotions making a mess in his mind.Audrey took a deep breath. She once thought of this situation but it was too soon. Keeping calm, she let him know in a weary tone of voice, "Do not assume things, Mr Wyatt. You have got nothing to do with my kids."Apollo couldn't see her face as she stood at a distance from her but he was sure that she was lying."You don't want me to know that's why you are lying. I know they are m..."Cutting him off she said loudly, "YOU HAVE GOT NOTHING TO DO WITH THEM." Keeping her smile on her face, she sat on the couch. "Kids are so innocent, they can't understand who is bad and who is good. Look at my kids, when they see an elder they treat them good but it doesn't mean, you start thinking that you have got something to do with them.""Avery, I know you are still angry at me because... Because of t
