Miracle on Hollow Peak AND STAY OUT!
GABRIELFIVE YEARS LATERThe day wasn’t great.We had lost a prospective client who I had assumed was a guarantee. I had already planned in my head the actions I would take with the status and money this client would have provided us. After it went down, I remained gazing at a list of development proposals I had no way of implementing now. The next day I called John, who I made my partner.“We have to talk about this. We just can’t lose this client. If we can’t make this work, we’re out.” I said nervously circling the office. “Ok, but do we have some kind of plan?” John asked.To be honest, I didn’t have a plan. I was trying to come up with a solution to save the predicament. I had no doubt it could be done.In the last three years, I did nothing but grow professionally. I’ve closed business after business. And all to forget about… “I mean, I know the guy is important, but is he that important?” John interrupted my thoughts, but not enough to answer him. “Gabe? Are you there?” “I am
Miracle on Hollow Peak THE OTHER SIDE OF THE COIN
KIRAThe schoolyard was full of children. The bustle was continuous, and I was already looking for her. A little girl with golden curls was looking at me with wide eyes and a large, innocent smile. Maddie had a daily ritual of asking the same question when I picked her up from school.“Did you place that special order today, mommy?” I grinned at her and responded in the same way I do every day.“Each order I complete is unique, darling.”Since I began my business with various floral arrangements for various occasions, Maddie has only been interested in flowers. She was always curious about the event they would attend and the unique treat they would be enjoying.“So, nobody important needed them?” she asked with her sweet voice. “Always somebody needs them, honey” Somehow, she was obsessed with the idea that someone would come along and need such a romantic arrangement for the most important person in his life. I carefully placed her in the car seat and sat behind the wheel.“Are
Miracle on Hollow Peak HE CAME FOR ME
KIRADid Alana really not know he was my client? I stood in front of him and my breath stopped. The same Machiavellian smile, the same arrogance I knew so well. If the earth had opened up right now and swallowed me, I wouldn’t have minded.“Did you expect it to be someone else? Sorry to disappoint you, Kira!” he said, maintaining the same smile on his perfect face. Lord, I wished to just turn back time and be in bed sleeping with Maddie in my arms. This thought hurt me so much, thinking that the situation I was in now placed Maddie the closest to her father that she had ever been. I felt so helpless and vulnerable. “What are you doing here?” I snapped without realizing it was a business matter.“Oh well, we have a deal to close, remember?” he explained. “Please, have a seat!” He was so arrogant that I wished I wouldn’t sit down and just walk away. But something stopped me. “I’ll sit down just because we have business to discuss. However, I must warn you! I don’t want to talk abou
Miracle on Hollow Peak SHE WASN'T SUPPOSED TO BE HERE!
GABRIELI had left London in a hurry because I knew I had to finish this beauty business, as I liked to call it. I’d put it all together so meticulously that I’d impressed even myself. However, I didn’t expect that idiot Mark to come here too. I had also told Martha when I was to return that I did not want to find her near my house. I had thrown her out the door, but because I was in a hurry, I left her with her lover. It looked like the bastard had gone and left her behind. I didn’t stick around to figure it out. I just yelled at her when I drove off not to dare to be there when I got back.But I had just run into another mess. The Mark mess.“Get your filthy hands off her!” I yelled at him, placing myself between them. Mark did not sit idly by and responded accordingly. “You have no right to come into her life like that and pretend nothing happened,” he said, taking the attack posture.“Who said nothing happened?” I shouted at him placing my hands on the collar of his shirt. I c
Miracle on Hollow Peak SOMETHING DEAR TO HIM
KIRAI immediately noticed that I had a horrible headache. My temples were throbbing with pain, so I kept my eyes tightly shut. I was lost. What happened?The crash’s recollection slowly returned to me. At a four-way intersection, I was turning when a car crashed into my jeep out of nowhere. My headache was getting worse when I thought back to the collision.I told myself I was in a vehicle crash. I also recalled my motives for coming back to London. What an awful pain! I just can not leave things like that between me and...The hospital must be where I was. I did not feel as though I was in a hospital. The bed was incredibly comfortable. The bed might have been more comfortable than the one I usually slept at home. Oh my God, Maddie was at home...My thoughts flew to her and how worried she would be along with the nanny. Also Alana.Trying to cast a wider vision, I peered around. That ached, strangely enough. My face stung as I squeezed it up and they covered it in something, either
Miracle on Hollow Peak HELLO, MOMMY?
GABRIELI was standing in the hospital corridor, unsure of what to do. All I wanted to do was return to the room and apologize once more, repeating my apologies until I was positive she would believe me. She had been unconscious for the previous ten hours and had a sad appearance. She wasn’t in a coma; the doctors had informed me rather, the physical impact had left her body completely in a trauma. Trauma that I had brought upon her. Once more, I experienced a searing surge of humiliation that was quickly followed by resentment toward me. Could not believe I almost killed her. I inhaled deeply just to steady my heart beat. I got myself into this situation out of anger.I saw the fear in her eyes and I would never forgive myself for that. She was willing not to sue me, but she probably said that in a moment of anger. Or to show me she wasn’t as helpless as she seemed. My God, at what point our lives drifted so far apart?I suddenly felt the urgent need to get out and drive away. Then
Miracle on Hollow Peak SHE CALLED HER MOMMY
GABRIELThe blood froze in my veins. I tried to breathe in but a heavy weight was pressing on my chest. I heard it very well. The little girl said mommy.She was still talking, but I was so shocked that I wasn’t able to get a word out. I simply hung up and realized my hand was shaking on the phone. If this was a dream, maybe it was time for someone to pinch me and wake me up.“Mr. Bates, are you leaving?” asked the nurse coming in to check on Kira.“Yes...” “Is everything all right, sir?” she insisted, but all I had to do was get out of here. “Everything is fine, thank you. Just tell Miss Reed that everything has been taken care of. Once you discharge her, she can go home” “I will do that, sir. Have a nice day and take care of yourself Mr. Bates!” I didn’t answer him back, just walked out of the ward and didn’t stop until I got to John’s car. The little girl’s words still echoed in my head. John saw me completely transformed.“Something wrong, man?” Maybe it was neither the time
Miracle on Hollow Peak WE'RE BANKRUPT!
KIRA“It was the biggest mistake of my life, Alana. I shouldn’t have come here for him. I realized it wasn’t worth it. Thank you for coming to take me. My car is a wreck. Can you imagine? He could have killed me. And what’s he doing? He’s just paying for my hospitalization. How cynical!” I snarled, snatching what little I had in the ward. I had called Alana before I fell asleep and asked her to come and get me as soon as possible. “You know I’ve always had a reservation about Gabriel Bates. But now that you’re coming back, you should know that things aren’t so good at the company. So Gabriel did you a favor by paying your hospital bill,” Alana said, taking the bag in her hand.“What do you mean things aren’t so good?” “Well, I really didn’t want to be the one to give you more bad news, but you know we’re down on the number of customers. It’s been going well for the last five years. Something’s going on, Kira. You’ll have to see the reports. It doesn’t look good at all,” said my fri
