Edward sighed and grabbed the bouquet of roses from the seat next to him. He got off from his blue metallic Porsche. Soaked in his thought the name that Granny mentioned as the guest, twisted by his curiosity the purpose behind that dinner was about. ‘How sad granny if I rejected this invitation would be.’ He opened the door handle of the mansion, a modern house of a landlord with some old glamorous interiors, some artefacts of old money family heritage in farming business adorned the front part. ‘I don’t have any ideas who is the woman she invited for the dinner. Granny only said she’s my old friend that she has changed a lot.’ He sighed and closed the door silently but as he turned around… “Edward Philippe.” A woman’s voice thrust his hearing as he walked into the house. Granny was there but she only threw a smile at him before disappeared to the kitchen as he guessed. “Sorry?!” Edward curled his eyes as he tried hard to recall the woman’s name, standing in the fron
The helicopter bringing Edward and Bernard had landed on the western district factory area. Edward was walking to approach three men in suits. They were welcoming both of Edward and Bernard. He put off his sunglasses and saw the man who should be interrogated with the chaos happening. “Jason, what’s going on?” He shook the hand of a man with beard as he called by the name ‘Jason.’ Another man interrupted and shook the hand of Edward and Bernard. “Eric West. I am the new CEO of western district, Mr. Edward.” Edward smiled. “Nice to meet you.” Eric West was a man hit early forties, well built in a good shape performance with his glasses and looked quite identical with Bernard in his hair style and outlook. “I am sorry. I haven’t introduced myself since today is my first day of working in this factory.” He explained to Edward in the way they walked towards the factory building heading to the office. “I know. Bernard told me that Mr. Cedric resigned without any p
Bernard ran into Edward resting on the pavements in the front of the office gate. Edward had been taken aside from the crowd. A doctor and two rest others from the factory’s clinic were checking the condition of Edward, Eric West and Jason. They were helped by some office employees. “Mr. Edward, could you hear me?” In quite panic expression, Bernard knelt and tried to speak with Edward, he saw some blood streaming down. The doctor asked him staying calm while he was opening up Edward’s outer outfit. It seemed he needed to check Edward’s chest area. “We are going to let you know his condition later. Now, please staying calming down.” He spoke in his solely voice while his hands were working to examine Edward. Edward’s white shirt was becoming red as the blood stained it. Bernard clenched his hand and rose from his kneeling position. He made a phone call, his voice sounded throaty, a bit shaking. “We should fly the three of them to the near hospital immediately.” The do
“Hey…” Emma welcomed Edward as he slowly opened his eyes. Her blue eyes were widened sparkling to embrace him. The misty scene was shadowing in his eyes for some seconds. His screwing eyes tried to avoid the light in the room penetrating the pupils. “Hi…” Edward sighed and looked away from her. His voice sounded lame. He wetted his creaked lips. “Granny.” He welcomed the grip of Mrs. Arlina on his fingers. “How you feel?” She asked him while her warm hand caressed the man’s cheek resting on the bed with some infuses on his hand. “I feel dull.” Edward smirked and asked for water to drink. Emma gave it to him and she let him sucking through the straw. “Enough. Thank you.” He said and watched his surroundings. “You’re getting better, sweetie.” Emma beamed at him, staring with her umbrageous eyes. He sighed and smirked. “ I will.” His stare looked not enough shiny. Everything seemed white in dull color that he found no shining days inside the room. Only some equi
Bernard was passing the two rooms. Each was side by side room and had only one access to enter unless the doorway to the emergency room. At sudden, his gadget was echoing. “We should meet and talk.” A baritone voice of a man started a conversation. Bernard quickly moved his head to look around. “Who is this?” his voice was echoing, the unknown number had access to call him. ‘It’s unusual. My number is limited for people in common.’ The man over there sighed. His breathing sounded heavy and clear. “I know Edward Philippe’s mother. I heard what happened to him. It’s Emir Drake and meet me in the White Lounge café, the one next to the hospital.” He talked like a gentleman. Bernard inhaled and wiped his nose. “Meet me there in fifteen minutes. Please, make sure to keep all the patients under good guards.” The man spoke again before closing his phone. Bernard opened the door of Eric West and the room of Jason where they were resting. As he examined, they wer
Emma turned off the water faucets to blend the hot and cold water on the bathtub, reached its temperature was warmer enough to soak herself as she slid her bare naked body into it. The foam overwhelming covered her body, she rested her head on the rim of the bathtub. Her mind was floating like a movie roll playing a story. She looked up the surroundings. The windows in the bathroom were ornamented by mosaics and some small green plants on the pots by each of the windows’ sill. It gave the atmosphere of a village touch combined with cottage interior. ‘This house hasn’t changed at all since twenty years ago, I came to visit Martinez before moving to Paris.’ She blew some foams and played with them as she and Martinez used to play some water games. But as deep as she imagined Martinez, she also thought his twin. ‘Edward Philippe looks so cute too. Gosh…I can’t imagine the way he smiled at that time… looks indifferent from Martinez, well, though he comes more mysterious,
“Miss, excuse me.” A police officer approached Emma Smithson as she came out from her car.His loud call made her turning around. She saw two men in police uniform walking to approach her.“May we see your driving license?” One officer looked younger than the other one asked her to show him her driving license.Emma squinted her eyes and opened the purse. She handed him the license.She saw the other man kept busy chewing a bubble gum and he was wearing the sunglasses, looking around the parking lot at the supermarket where Emma parked her car.Some bubbles of moot point overwhelming attacked her, she felt her heartbeats running faster. She took her medicine bottle from the purse.“Are you suffering from something?” he asked her and checked at her with his curious stare.“Miss Emma Smithson?”Emma shook her head, wiped her forehead. “I am just having panic attack.”The officer handed back her the license and looked at her. “Are you sure?”Emma gulped and nodded. She rushed i
Elena got off from the helicopter and it landed on the determined point on the nearby island. The place located many miles away from the small fisherman village, Susan Montegro and her decided to meet, a place away from the crowd, and Susan chose the place as the first place she launched sailing with her new yacht.‘She tried to avoid people seeing her inside that new luxurious yacht. She doesn’t want people selling their assumption about her marriage.’ Elena thought as the helicopter landed on the island. After the pilot tried hard controlling the helicopter. It had been twirled by the wind and it wasn’t easy to find nice ground to land.She asked the pilot to stand by on the ground point where they landed. “We aren’t long.” Elena told the pilot and she got a thumb up from him.Susan arranged an appointment for her to hand some new proofs for Susan’s husband love affairs before his scandalous story was blown up on the media. It was unpopulated island but there was a tower of
