Areiza had come out of OT when she received a call from Darren. She just looked at it before hanging up on him. And the second she rejected his call, Darren called her again. After a moment of hesitation, Areiza answered the call.“Areiza I’m with Aaron right now. I think it’s a fever…” Darren spluttered from the other end of the line.“What? Where are you?”“We are in the hospital,” he said“Okay, hold on. I’ll be right there.” Areiza told her colleague of the situation and hurried to the hospital.However, when she arrived at the hospital, she found that Darren was the actually one who had a fever.“Why didn’t you make it clear to me?” She asked, visibly infuriated.Weekly, Darren leaned against the bedside and replied, “You hung up before I could finish my sentence.”“Why are you bringing our child with you when you have a fever?” She asked.Darren coughed. The mere sound of his voice made him appear weary. “This morning, just before I could go out, Aaron grabbed my hand. He cried
Hallie was nowhere to be found after Nancy’s miscarriage. Just when Peter was trying to look for her again, she showed up in his office.“Did you forge the paternity test result?” Peter asked her as soon as he saw her.With a surprised expression, she looked at him and asked innocently, “How could that be? Our family doctor was the one who tested Nancy. Do you not believe him?”Peter could not help but sneer as he retorted, “Back then, you even bribed the doctor to hide the fact that your cancer was healed, and you even fooled Darren. How can I know that you are not trying to trick me in the same way now? Someone has already sent the real paternity test report to me by e-mail. What do you have to say about that?”“Dad, I think you misunderstood me, because that really has nothing to do with me.” Hallie chuckled before she continued, “Nancy is a scheming woman. She approached you in order to control over your company. She doesn’t love you at all. If that was not the case, then why woul
The moment Areiza came out of the hospital, she saw Rosy and Tia at the door. But Aaron was not with him.“Where is Aaron?” She asked anxiously.“He is in the car,” Rosy replied.In a swift face, Areiza went to the car and opened the door.There was someone else inside.After taking a closer look, she realized that it was Darren.“Aren’t you supposed to be at the hospital receiving infusion?” She asked.“It’s finished. Kenny, you drove me here and Tia asked me to wait in the car.” Darren coughed mid-sentence in an attempt to look weak.Areiza shot him an indifferent glance, uncertain how to respond.“Grandma isn’t feeling well. We should go back to visit her,” he added.“She was fine before, wasn’t she? What happened to her?” Areiza became worried about Grandma’s health.“She is getting old, and her health complications come with growing older,” Darren said with a cough, “Anyway, just get in the car.”After entering the car, Areiza said to Rosy, “Take Darren to the Blue Jay hospital f
It was late at night and Aaron was sleeping soundly in her arms. By now, the elders have already gone to bed. Thinking about the fact that Darren was still in the hospital, Areiza was not able to fall asleep. To be honest, she was worried about him.After tossing and turning in a bed for a while, Areiza told Rosy to look after Arron in her absence and decided to go to the hospital to check for Darren.Worriedly, Rosy looked at her and asked, “Is it okay for you to go there alone? Maybe you should take Tia with you?”Areiza shook her head in dismissal and said, “I can go there myself and make sure not tell anyone else, okay? I’ll back soon.”“Be careful,” said Rosy.“I will, don’t worry.” Areiza patted her on the shoulder and left quietly.****At midnight, there was no one in the corridor outside Darren’s ward.While the nurse was not paying attention, Areiza sank into Darren’s ward.Looking at the empty bed in front of her, she couldn’t help but wonder, ‘It’s so late. Where could Dar
The next morning, Areiza walked into the hospital, yawning tiredly.“Areiza didn’t you get enough rest?” Ria asked as she brought her a cup of coffee.“Thank you,” saying that Areiza took it from her with a grateful smile before she subconsciously covered her neck.But Ria suddenly came closer and began to examine her neck, “Look at this!”“It’s nothing!” Areiza retorted subconsciously. ‘I had applied a thick layer of concealer over the hickey, so how could she still see it?’ She thought.Ria’s eyes narrowed at her as she asked with an ambiguous smile, “Who is it? Was it Dylan? Or… Darren, perhaps?”“It’s time to work. How can you still have time to chat when there are so many patients waiting for you for a checkup?” To avoid answering her question, Areiza pretended to be busy.During lunch break, Ria held her arm tightly as she took her to have lunch with her, leaving no room for her to escape.As soon as she placed their food order, she winked at her and asked, “It’s lunch break. Ca
Nancy had been waiting for Areiza at the gate of the hospital for quite a while now. She wanted to win her over.It was not long before she saw her.While Nancy was walking towards her, she heard footsteps coming behind her. The next second, she screamed in pain as someone yanked her hair.“Come here! I caught the b*tch!” a man whom she had never met before, said to his accomplice.“Let go of me. Do you know who I am? F*ck you!” Nancy fired back. She put on a brave face as she struggled out of the man’s grab when the truth was she was terrified.“You are Nancy, right? You are a target!” Another man shouted. He then kicked her to the ground. There was nothing else she could do. But curled up on the ground and shielded her body from his kicks.“Come on! Beat her!” Three strong men surrounded Nancy. Then, they punched and kicked her while she lay helpless on the ground.“Help!” Nancy cried out at the top of her lungs, but nobody seemed to hear her.A few moments later, the man finally st
Peter hurriedly called the doctor the moment Nancy fell unconscious and now the ward was in chaos.Hallie took the opportunity and slipped out of the ward. She called Kenny as she walked out of the hospital. However, he hung up the call without even answering it“What an a*shole!” she exclaimed. Hallie didn’t stop calling him until he answered a few moments later.“What the hell do you want? Stop bothering me!” Kenny bellowed impatiently.“Tell Darren that I have what he wants.” Hallie hung up the call without waiting for his response.She was certain that Darren would help her obtain the Davis Group.****Hallie browsed the news as soon as she awoke the next morning. There she saw the hottest news at the moment. The headland read, “Hallie Davis, the daughter of Peter Davis, has announced that she is no longer a relation with her father. And now the new CEO of the Davis Group.”“As you wish, Dad!” Hallie muttered to herself. With that, she stood up and began to get ready for the celeb
Darren was in the metering room, attending a conference when his phone vibrated all of a sudden. After taking a look, he suspended the meeting and walked out to answer the phone, “What’s the matter?”Rosy immediately replied in an anxious tone, “Ever since Areiza went to the prison to see Peter, something seems to be bothering her. She didn’t even go to work today, and she has been in bed all day long. I wanted to ask the doctor to come see her, but she forbade me from calling him.”Upon hearing that Darren’s heart sank. “Take good care of her if she’s facing any discomfort, call the doctor immediately. I’ll be home soon.”Rosy gave him an affirmative response at once.After hanging up, Darren ordered his trusted subordinate to proceed over the meeting while he took Kenny to the prison with him. Darren was furious when he saw the surveillance video of Areiza and Peters’ meeting.“I want to see Peter immediately,” he ordered.Hearing his order, Kenny nodded and walked out of the room.
Darren carried Charlotte to the suite upstairs of the hotel near the church, where the reception was held. Inside, he placed Charlotte on the bed while he sat on the edge of the bed and said, “When are you planning to open your eyes?”Charlotte kept her eyes closed and held her breath nervously, not daring to open her eyes.“Well, it’s good things you that you don’t want to wake up!”Before Charlotte could even begin to understand what he meant, she felt his warm breath seep into the skin on her face. Charlotte opened her eyes and met Darren’s deep-set smiling gaze. His face was inches away from her and he was about to kiss her. Fortunately, he stopped the second she opened her eyes.Seeing his smile made Charlotte excited. “You know that I just pretending?”Darren didn’t answer the questions. “Were you aware that I was outside at the time?”Charlotte couldn’t respond to his query, so she just looked at him blankly. She had won the bet. At first, Charlotte just hoped that Stella could
Today was Peter and Anna’s wedding day.Darren came to the villa early in the morning to pick up Charlotte. However, Charlotte didn’t want to show up with him in the same place.“Charlotte, if you don’t want to see news about us breaking up tomorrow morning, then you had better come with me.”Even if their relationship was on the verge of breaking right now, the truth remained that the public still saw them as a loving couple. Though Charlotte was uncomfortable about the idea, she had no choice but to go to the party with Darren.When they entered the banquet hall, Darren wrapped his arm around her waist and pressed her body against her.The fabric of Charlotte's dress was thin, so when his palm landed on her waist, Charlotte’s body temperature rose and she felt her blood coursing through her veins.All the other guests at the wedding looked at them with envy. Teasing and sighing at how sweet they were.Charlotte was so embarrassed that she turned to him and said, “Let me go, will you
Peter was right behind the door when he saw Stella badgering Darren. He watched as Darren pushed her away and ran after Charlotte.Stella fell to the ground, but she got up held onto Darren’s lap, and continued begging regardless of how humiliating her act was.“Darren, where are you going? Don’t go! Please.”“Let me go,” Darren growled. In an act of desperation, Stella shook her head, held on to him, and refused to let go. She was no longer the proud woman she once was.“Darren, I’m begging you. Just give me a chance to be with you!”Finally losing his patience, Darren pushed her away from him and stopped her before she could latch him again.“Stella, you have no idea why I’m letting you show your face to me. It’s not because you are my friend, nor it’s because I want to keep some sort of connection to you.”“Then why?” Stella asked with tears in her eyes.Peter didn’t hear what Darren said in the end. He saw how despair consumed Stella and it showed on her face. She fell on her knee
“Its fine. Rose and I share a birthday. Charlotte is a good friend with her, so I’m sure she will be willing to celebrate her birthday.” Stella said firmly.At that moment, Dora crap out by Stella so well-informed. ‘And she is so adamant on getting her hands on Darren.’The more Dora thought about it, the more she sensed something was amiss.As soon as Dora got home, she told Charlotte everything that Stella asked her to do.Charlotte pondered for a moment and said, “You should ask him directly. He can make decisions on his own.”“Aren’t you worried that rumors would circulate if he attended her birthday party?”“He probably won’t go,” Charlotte replied after some consideration.Dora nodded in agreement.The next morning, Dora asked Darren for his opinion. He just looked at her, and asked, “What did Charlotte say?”“She said that it’s up to you,” Dora answered.“Up to me?” Darren frowned in confusion.“Yes, but she also said that he probably won’t go,” Dora added.“Is that so? I will
“But I can’t stand it anymore, baby! Just let me fuck you, okay?” Darren lifted her chin with his finger and begins sucking on the tip of her tongue.Everything he did felt so good that Charlotte eventually gave in. He began caressing her tits, rubbing her nipples, and then pulling them. Soon, Darren loosened his grip on them. Charlotte’s breasts jiggled and bounced after he let them go.“Ugh,” A moan escaped Charlotte’s mouth, completely arousing Darren. He pressed his body against Charlotte. Thereafter, Charlotte felt he is huge manhood rubbing against her vagina. As Darren kept moving, Charlotte's desire grew, and she could no longer think of anything else.“Charlotte, can I?” Darren pressed his manhood against her, making her wetter by the second.“Darren, I want It. Give it to me.” Charlotte had no strength to hold back his neck. She wanted to grab something, but all she could do was to randomly wave her hands in the air.“What do you want me to give you baby? Tell me.” Darren be
After the meal, Darren touched Charlotte's forehead to check her temperature again and pulled her out of the Starlight restaurant.“Come with me to my office.”“But I wanna go home and rest,” Charlotte complained.“Well, you can sleep inside my office, too. Come on!” Darren put his hand on her shoulder and gently pushed her to his car.When Charlotte got into the car, she was about to fasten her seat belt, but then Darren leaned into it and fastened it for her. The tenderness in his eyes made Charlotte blush.Darren then cupped her cheeks, smiled at her, and leaned closer to her face. “Kiss me!” he said.“Huh?”Just before Charlotte could gather her composure, he lifted her chin and kissed her lips. Charlotte held her breath nervously too anxious to make any noise.It was already lunchtime, so many people were coming and going outside the place. Their car park was visible to many people. Passerby could easily spot them if they would look at them.Charlotte didn’t want other people wat
Because of how he reacted, the doctor felt tense and uncertain about what to do.Charlotte's face palmed and said to the doctor, “Honestly, I am feeling alright already. I’m sure I will get better after taking the antipyretic injections. Thank you, doctor!”The doctor nodded with a smile and left the room.Once he was gone, Darren sat back in his chair and directed his attention back to Charlotte. “You really can’t take your eyes off a handsome man when you see one, can you?”“What are you talking about? I was not looking at him.”He was so angry that he was practically snarling at Charlotte. “Are you not attracted to me anymore, Charlotte?”The look of jealousy and frustration on his face was amusing. He looks so childish!Once Charlotte's infusion was done, Darren held her out of the hospital while holding her wrist. By the time they reached the gate, their fingers were already interlocked. Charlotte’s heart felt a sense of comfort and warmth as she held his hand with him.After the
For a long time, Anna I stood frozen on the spot with her hand hovering above the door.Eventually, she dropped her hand with a sigh. She found a corner by the porch and curled up in it to cry her eyes out. the crowd.After a long time, Charlotte came back and was surprised to see her at the door. “Anna?”Anna looked up at her, her cheeks red with embarrassment. It was indeed abrupt for him to come here, but she had nowhere else to go. “Charlotte, can you take me in for one night?” She wiped the tears on her face and asked brazenly.Charlotte gaped at her for a few seconds before walking up to her. She held her hand and took it. “Come in!” Charlotte said.Charlotte asked the maid to cook some soup and bought it for her.Seeing the steaming hot soup in front of her, Anna felt the warmth and acceptance of the family, which was also something she earned for most. Anna picked up the bowl and felt a lump in her throat.Charlotte’s three kids sat opposite and looked at Anna curiously. Anna
Stella called Peter out of the blue and asked him to come to the bar where she was and keep her company.During her drunken speech, she broke into sobs several times.When Peter hung up the phone, he hesitated for a while but eventually decided to drive to the bar.Judging by Stella’s near-incoherent speech, she was very drunk. Not only that, she was a drunk woman in a bar alone. The number of things that could happen was too high for Peter to even contemplate.When Peter got there, he saw many empty bottles on her table. Stella was in the process of pouring more wine when Peter walked up to her and confiscated the bottle.“You have enough to drink!”With tears streaming down her face, Stella turned to look at him in disappointment. “Why are you here?”“Who else could it be if it were not for me?” Peter asked him confused.“I don’t want you. I want Darren.” And all of a sudden, Stella grabbed his shirt and looked up at him with hatred and determination.Her reaction pissed Peter off a
