Martha collected the tray from the maid and dismissed her, she returned her gaze back to Abby's closed door and sighed.She recalled how upset Abby was when she returned back home last night.She pushed the door open and walked into the room, her brows drew together when she saw Abby doing yoga.She had expected to see a torn apart room or perhaps a crying Abby cuddled up in a blanket.Martha placed the tray of food on the table and opened the curtains to lighten up the semi dark room.Abby opened one of her closed eyes to see what her mum was up to."Abby can we talk?" Martha asked but received silence in return except from the yoga guide master that was speaking on the flat screen tv."Hmmm..... this is yoga mum, everywhere is meant to be quiet" Abby scolded.Martha switched off the tv and folded her arm. "I said we need to talk!"Abby rolled her eyes and stood up, she grabbed a bottle of water and drank a mouth full."I'm all ears"Martha took Abby's hands and led her to sit on the
Abby stared at her reflection in the mirror for a while, she was putting on a red clinging gown that barely reached her thigh.She applied her read lipsticks and smacked her lips together. She was confident that no family would accept such a badly dressed daughter in-law like her.She picked her black purse from her bed and hurried out making soft clicks on the marbled floor with her black heels.Martha stood up when she heard the clicks approaching, immediately Abby stepped into her view, she felt the air around her seize."Abby.... are you going all dressed up like that?!" Martha exclaimed.Abby rolled her eyes and started walking away, "If you ruin my mood I will cancel this lunch date" Abby said sternly and left the room.... Martha blew hair on her forehead, Abby hadn't come in yet, she smiled sheepishly at the Johnson's. "has she decided to run away?" she mumbled beneath her breathe."So miss Grayson... where is your daughter?" Mr Johnson asked adjusting his glasses.Martha f
Mr Williams stared at the lady in the locked cell, who was drawing small lines on the wall that she failed to notice his presence.He shook the iron bars which made a rattling noise, Jane snapped her head to him immediately.The mayor's face scrunched in disgust at her unkempt state. Jane got up from the cold floor and walked slowly towards him.She dragged her feet slowly which were bounded by heavy chains."You must be Jane, don't fret on how I knew you, I'm the mayor and also Fred and Allison's father" Mr Williams introduced.Jane bursted out into a laughter, she itched her head weirdly and snapped her head to him once more with a serious face.Jane's grip on the iron bars tightened as she made eye contact with him. "Nobody remembers Jane when they are enjoying their lives! they only remember her when they need her to do crazy tasks"The mayor nodded his head in understanding "Hmm.... you might be right on that one, my son spoke a lot about you, I'm sure you know that old Grayson i
Brianna stole a glance at Cecile and sighed, something has been bothering her for a while now."Cecile don't you think everything is too calm?" Cecile raised a brow and reduced the volume of tv they've been watching."yeah it is..... Liam has kept everyone in their rightful place so this is what we call true happiness" Cecile briefly explained.Brianna nodded her head in understanding but she couldn't shake off the feelings we felt at that moment.."I guess so....No sooner had she said that when the show got interrupted by a breaking news. Cecile increased the volume to hear what was going on.Brianna and Cecile exchanged looks when the mayor came into the screen."Mr Williams can you brief us about the new project that you are about to start in the city?" a reporter asked holding the mic to his mouth.The mayor nodded in response "We've come into a conclusion that the mental asylum near the highways will be demolished.... so we will be transferring all patients to a different asylu
Later that night.......Amelia came out of the shower and searched her table for her hair dryer. "Liam"Liam raised his head from his laptop, he raised a brow at her. "Hmm... tell me"Amelia pointed at the vanity table "I can't find my hair dryer""I have no idea..... I thought you got a new one"Amelia's touched her head, she had completely forgotten about that. She reached for the brown colored box and walked towards the bed with it.Liam stole a glance at her, while she fondled with the box, he hid her hair dryer earlier, he also noticed that it was working fine so why would she lie about that?Amelia tore the seal open and brought out the new hair dryer out from the box.Liam's brows creased, he placed his laptop on the table and walked towards her. He turned the box upside down but nothing came out of it.Amelia moved back from his weird behavior "What else were you expecting in the box?" Amelia questioned with a raised brow."I was searching for the bubble wrap" Liam blurted out
Dylan arrived at the company when he got into the building he was surprised by the little crowd of his employees who were lingering around the elevator."What is going on?"Immediately they heard his voice they parted ways for him with their heads bowed.Dylan felt the air around him seized when he saw Louisa unconscious, he also noticed this was the same outfit she was putting on yesterday.Before anyone could blink their eye lids, he rushed to her side and tapped her cheeks gently. "Lou.... open your eyes... what are you morons waiting for? call the ambulance!!" he lashed out angrily at them... Olivia and her parents arrived at the hospital where Louisa was admitted into. They spotted Dylan pacing around mumbling words to himself."Dylan" Jenna called out pointing at Louisa's ward "What happened to Louisa?"Dylan hissed in anger, how was he supposed to answer that question? the doctor has even refused to speak to him concerning her current condition."I have no idea mum....." Oli
Clara opened her lazy eyes, she felt the heavy arm around her waist and gasped softly. That wasn't a dream.... it was real.She felt Karl's hands move slightly under the sheets, his hand found its way to her mounds. He squeezed it softly which earned a moan from her."You are awake?"She heard his teasing voice asked and pretended to be asleep."I know that you are awake"Clara smiled and turned to him, she placed her head on his bare chest listening carefully to his heart beat."I didn't want to wake up if this turned out to be a dream" Clara murmured.Karl inhaled the scent of her hair that drives him nuts. "Clara let's get married"Clara's heart leaped, she raised her head from his chest and stared into his eyes, all she saw was sincerity, her eyes teared up."No.. no... I didn't say that for you to cry" Clara threw herself into his arms, everything she had ever dreamt of was happening right now.A knock came on the door followed by a hurried voice. "Boss Mr Hart is here to see you
Dylan stared down as he walked towards her bed, he pulled out a stool and sat next to the bed."Lou... I want to ask you a few questions"Louisa tilted her head to the side to take a proper look at his face."There's no need to show me your fake sympathy Dylan... don't worry you will have an assistant by your side at the meeting today"Dylan released a breath, he didn't realize all these while that he was driving Louisa away from him by acting cold towards her."Do you really see me as that kind of person?" Louisa shot him a look "Yes I do.... honestly I hold you responsible for my condition, how can you be so heartless to leave me all alone at the company and no!.... don't say that it was a mistake"Dylan held her wrist and brought it to his face "If you think that I'm responsible.... then I give you every permission and rights to hit me as hard as you can"Louisa pulled her hand away from his, even if she wanted to hit him, her bat was at home if not she would have murdered him rig
Liam twirled her around before placing his hands back on her waist.."So? if they ask we will tell them that we went out to get Aidan a sister"Amelia bit her lower lip, she rested her head on his chest.. trying to hide the redness on her face.."You have an answer for everything don't you?"Cecile and Brianna exchanged warm hugs "I'm the happiest mum on earth today" Brianna declared which was accompanied by a chuckle.."It's so wonderful seeing them together...I wish them all the happiness in the world"Karl held Clara's fork from picking on his plate "Clara you've become so greedy..and you have to stop eating for now.. you've practically tasted every meal here today!"Clara squinted her eyes at him "One more reason why our baby will love me more than you"Karl sighed and released her fork, he pushed his plate to her.. "I will get you some more"He was about to get up from his seat when he noticed the change in her expression..."Clara? are you alright?" He asked worriedly touching he
Few weeks later....A church was decked out in flowers and greenery, with white roses and lilies adorning the altar and pews. Garlands of ivy and ferns draped the archway where the bride and groom would exchange their vows. Hanging from the ceiling were hundreds of tiny fairy lights, giving the church a magical glow. The smell of fresh flowers filled the air, mingling with the scent of beeswax candles that flickered in the candelabras. Amelia glided down the aisle, her gown flowing behind her like a cloud. The fabric was soft and light, embellished with delicate beading and lace. Her veil floated behind her, held in place by a small tiara on her head. Her face was radiant, her eyes shining with happiness. As she walked, the crowd fell silent, captivated by her beauty. Her every step was graceful and elegant, and it seemed like time itself had stopped to watch her journey down to him...As she made her way down the aisle, all eyes turned to the person who was walking beside he
Liam's lips drew a smirk as he spotted her in the midst of the small crowd of people..He walked elegantly and sat on his car's bonnet, Louisa nudged Amelia.."That's Liam Amy!"Amelia bowed her head turning all red.. she wondered what on earth he was doing here..Liam raised the megaphone to his mouth while the media flashed and clicked their camera's at him.."To the most beautiful actress in the world.. who caught my attention without doing much..There was a little murmur among themselves, every lady who was present there blushed hard..."I think he finally noticed me!"Amelia heard a lady squealed beside her, in her dreams.."Mr Grayson is going extra miles to tell the world you are his..""Don't hide your pretty face away from the world darling.. it's our moment" Liam continued and jumped down from the car...Every step he took caused the ladies heart to beat faster than normal.. Amelia itched her nape, she bit her bottom lips..'What is he up to now?' she screamed internally..
Dylan's hands turned into tight fists as he stared at Steven.. "I don't accept it Liam.. I've seen this guy break girls heart like they mean nothing to him.. and he actually came for my sister?!""Dylan.. I can say that about you too.. you know?"Dylan averted his gaze back to Louisa who just spoke."Are you actually comparing me to this guy Lou?" Louisa sighed and stood up, she walked around the table and stood in front of him.."You were once like them.. but you changed, that doesn't mean they can't change also..I'm also someone's sister.. haven't that thought crossed your mind yet?"Dylan fixed his gaze on her, he fell into a deep thought digesting each words she said.."I guess you are right" he murmured before turning to Steven..."And you listen! I hope you are not planning to dump her because if you do.. I will come for your head!"Steven chuckled and embraced Dylan "I'm actually serious with her"Brianna stood up and applauded "Wow.. that was epic.. these four friends are qui
Liam smiled at Amelia as she approached him.. just when he was about to pull her into a hug..Aidan came in between and hugged him instead "Daddy"Liam lifted Aidan up in his arms "Hey champ! how are you?""I'm so excited to be here again.. and we also came in the car you got for me"Dylan took a glance at his wrist watch and sighed, Louisa and Nora haven't arrived yet..."Look at that..now there's a third wheel between them" Steven jested which earned a laughter from them all..Liam placed Aidan down just as he wished, "Did you doll up just for me?" Liam whispered to Amelia..Amelia rolled her eyes.. and pulled out a seat for herself.."What do you think?"Soon after they all began filling the empty spaces on the long dining table...Brianna took a seat next to Cecile.. it's been so long since they saw and chatted heartily with each other.."Cecile I hope you are no longer upset with Liam for what he did..if you still are.. I beg of you to forgive him"Cecile touched Brianna's hands
Amelia laid down on her bed and turned off the bedside lamp off.. she stared at the ceilings for a long time with a smile on her lips..A knock came on her window which startled her out of her thoughts.. she came down slowly from the bed.."What if that is actually a thief?..." Her eyes found its way to the shelf a few steps away from her..She tiptoed to it and grabbed the flower vase on the shelf.."I will teach that thief the lesson he deserves!" she murmured and returned back to the window...The knock came again but this time hurriedly which jerked her out..She raised the ceramic vase above her head ready to strike as she opened the window.."Thief!" A large palm covered her mouth to stop her from screaming..."Shh it's me!"Amelia heard the familiar male's voice and turned on the bedside lamp.."You! it's so late already! and why didn't you use the front door like a normal person?""I'm not a normal person and besides that I love this new way of coming into your room late at n
Amelia gasped softly when Liam suddenly pulled her forward to him..His hands settled on her waist while his eyes locked with hers.."Liam let go..""I want to hear you say that you love me" Liam whispered into her ears sending shivers down her spine.. she gripped onto his arm for support when she felt her knees weaken..Amelia heaved deep breaths when he planted small kisses on her neck, he left her slender fair neck and took her lips in his.."Just say it" He murmured in between kisses, Amelia's hands found its way to caress his hair... He lifted her off the ground and her legs went around his waist.."Liam put me down" Liam ignored her tantrums and moved to the direction of the bed, he gently laid her down on the bed..He pulled off his coat and loosened his black tie a bit before taking a seat on the sofa adjacent to the bed..Amelia sat up hurriedly.. she blinked severally at Liam who had a grin on his lips..Liam raised a brow at her "What? were you expecting something else?"
Louisa swallowed hard as Dylan turned back to her, she bit her lower lips avoiding his intense gaze on her.."Say that one more time" Louisa raised her head, doesn't he know how hard this was for her? her face turned red.."I.. said.. I love you" She stuttered staring at his face, in the next second she was pulled into a tight embrace by dylan..."You have no idea of how long I've been waiting for you to say that.." Louisa buried her face on his chest inhaling his masculine scent..Dylan pulled away from her back a little bit when he heard her small sobs..."Louisa are you okay?" Louisa nodded her head and wiped her face with her sleeves.."I'm so sorry Dylan for everything I made you go through..."Dylan wiped away the fresh years that rolled down her cheeks with his hand.."Please don't cry anymore because of that..""But I..Dylan claimed her lips in his, he didn't want her blaming herself for everything...Her love was more than enough for him, he was already ready to start af
Olivia sighed and stared back at Louisa who suddenly went quiet.."I came here to tell you this.. Dylan will agree to the alliance only if you don't want anything to do with him""He won't.. he was here yesterday and he told me that I....Louisa paused her speech midway... she turned on the tap and placed her hands under the running water.."Louisa" Olivia called out only to be ignored, she watched Louisa pull off her apron and walked hurriedly out of the kitchen...She followed suite and saw Louisa picking up her purse.."Louisa where are you off to?" Olivia called after, the door slammed behind Louisa as she left the house..Nora came down and stood before Olivia "Aunt what do you think about this dress?" she asked twirling around..Olivia caught Nora's shoulder to stop her from twirling herself around.."You look like a princess in this dress" Olivia complimented with a wink which earned a giggle from Nora..."But where is mum?" Nora asked scanning the living room for any trace of
