"Daniel, I'm okay," Claudia said, hoisting herself onto the bed to take a seat.Mr. Markson felt uncomfortable with Daniel being there and couldn't bear to look at him any longer. "Sweetheart, I'll be back in a moment," he told Claudia as he got up from his chair.Claudia gazed at her husband and nodded in response.Laura was pissed at her Dad's reaction but managed to conceal her feelings. Mr. Markson left the hospital room as he walked past Daniel without uttering another word. Daniel thought to himself, his face contorted in anger as he gazed at Mr. Markson, "You've got to be kidding me if you think I came here to visit you guys. I'm only here to ensure I take my wife back home with me.""Daniel, please have a seat, Laura said, staring at her husband Daniel. Daniel shrugged, "No, my dear, I will soon be taking my leave. Can I see the doctor? I want to settle the hospital bill." He requested"Don't worry about that Daniel, my husband will take care of that," Claudia interjected.I
After a brief discussion with the doctor, Claudia requested to go home. She felt much better and didn't want to spend a night at the hospital."No, Ma'am I think you should stay at the hospital till tomorrow so that we can monitor you and make sure you are good to go home. We will have to move you to another room." The doctor implied.Claudia refused and stood her ground on going home. "Doctor, I'm good, I just want to go home please," Claudia demanded, her eyes fixated on the doctor."Are you sure honey?" Mr. Markson asked his wife Claudia. "Yes, I want to go home." She responded.The doctor had no choice but to grant her request. "Alright then, if you insist. But don't forget to return for a check-up," the doctor reminded as he exited the emergency room."Mom, why don't you spend the night here and be discharged tomorrow?" Laura suggested, moving closer to her Mom.In disapproval, Claudia shook her head. "No, Laura, believe me, I'm better now I promise. And where is your husband Dan
Unfortunately, things didn't go well for Harold. Laura had just discovered his relationship with Sidney but chose not to say anything. During a recent visit to Harold's place, he absentmindedly left his phone next to her in the living room. With nothing particular on her mind, Laura decided to browse through his pictures, but unexpectedly, a message popped up on the screen.It was a love message from Sidney, she wondered who she was because Laura only knew about Harold's ex-girlfriend Ashley. "Is Harold seeing another woman? No, that can't be true." She wondered.She decided to keep mute about it, expecting Harold to come clean and sincerely tell her about his secret relationship with Sidney but he didn't.When Laura spotted Harold with Sidney at the restaurant, it became clear to her that they were both dating and when she confronted him about it, he still denied it.Laura felt like she was being fooled and that was when she decided to go over to Harold's house and sort things out wi
"Please, keep the police out of this, I beg of you." Bryan kept pleading while he was been held at the hotel, waiting for the police to arrive."You lying bastard! Do you think I'm stupid? I gave you the benefit of the doubt and you tried to run away. I will make sure you rot in jail if you don't pay that money!" The manager yelled angrily.Bryan was overwhelmed with regret and ashamed of himself, unable to bring himself to look at the manager as he hung his head low.As the police arrived, they apprehended Bryan once more, leading him away to the station. The weight of his actions made it impossible for him to reach out to his parents.Bryan paced anxiously, his mind racing with worry. "What do I do now? I can't let Mom and Dad know that I'm at a police station, no I can't pressure them with the bill I owe at the hotel. How did I manage to get myself into such a mess?" He wondered aloud.An idea struck him suddenly. He made the decision to contact his biological father, Rolland.Roll
"I should use his love for me to my advantage. This could be my opportunity to turn my life around for good. I shouldn't stress about anything anymore; he's incredibly wealthy, after all," Bryan pondered."Sir, that's all in the past, we all make mistakes right?" Bryan queried.With a heavy sigh, Rolland nodded in response. "Thank you, Bryan, I'm glad I had the chance to talk things through with you. I'll be back here tomorrow to check up on you." Rolland said, rising from his seat to leave."Sir, I can't thank you enough. Thanks for coming through for me." Bryan stated, feeling grateful.Rolland smiled and left. He couldn't shake off the excitement he felt, gradually reuniting with his son.When he got into his car, he thought, "Should I let Claudia know about Bryan's whereabouts? Well, she doesn't take my calls anymore, so why should I bother? I have my son now."Rolland's wish had finally come true, but the situation was also challenging for him. He needed to give Bryan all the att
Rolland lied without hesitation, blurting out, "I went to see my Dad. He called," he said abruptly.Anthonia's surprise was evident as she exclaimed, "What? Your Dad?""Yeah, I knew you wouldn't want me to meet him, that's why I lied to you," Rolland explained, trying to convince Anthonia to believe him."After all these years, he finally reached out to you? After causing us so much pain, he decides to make a phone call. That man is really something," Anthonia said, smirking."Anthonia, look, I'm sorry for everything my Dad did, I-""That's enough Rolland, I'm done with this conversation." Athonia cut in before he could say anything else. Anthonia was so pissed and she stormed off to bed immediately.Rolland was at a loss for words, and with a hint of frustration, he stood there, staring at his wife on the bed. "I'm so sorry, Anthonia. I hope you can forgive me," he thought.Raymond, being very nosy, stood by the door and eavesdropped on his parents' conversation. He sensed that his d
Bryan stepped into the pulsating rhythm of the club, feeling the bass thump through his chest as he melded into the energetic crowd. He laughed with newfound friends, lost in the euphoria of the music and the moment. After a while he made his way to the sleek bar, ordering his drink, he leaned against the counter.Taking in the scene around him, Bryan scanned the room, and there, across the dance floor, he spotted Gina with two of her friends. "Damn it! Isn't that Gina?" He thought eyes widened in shock.His heart skipped a beat as memories flooded back, but he pushed them aside.Bryan contemplated on whether to approach Gina or not, but a wave of hesitation washed over him. "I can't let her see me, I'll feel so embarrassed." He pondered and stayed put.Frustrated, he sipped his wine, each sip heavier than the other. With a sigh, Bryan set the glass down, quietly slipping away from the bar. He made his way to the exit, his steps purposeful yet tinged with disappointment.Bryan couldn
Rolland's heart was melted by his son's apology and he didn't want his visit at the guest house to end in quarrels and arguments with his son. He had to let it slide.Rolland took a deep breath and leaned forward, gazing at Bryan. "Listen, son, I'm concerned about your safety, and I don't want you getting into any trouble. Everything I'm doing is for your own good," Rolland explained, trying to make Bryan understand his perspective."I understand Sir, I'm sorry," Bryan interjected, sounding polite with a hint of obedience."I can't wait to get out of here. I'm tired of all this drama," Bryan thought to himself, trying to maintain composure.Rolland smiled, feeling pleased that Bryan seemed to have finally understood his intentions. Then, he dropped a bombshell."You're moving out of the guest house today. I've arranged a new apartment for you," Rolland revealed.With a hint of disbelief, Bryan exclaimed in excitement, "Really? Thank you so much, Sir!" Springing up from the bed.Rollan
"Sir, you have a patient in ward 35 who needs your attention," a nurse reported as she walked into Harold's office.Harold, maintaining his composure, nodded. "Okay, I'll be right there," he replied.Steadying his emotions, Harold composed himself and left his office.When Laura was discharged, she felt so emotional that she didn't want to see Harold before leaving the hospital. Seeing him would only make her longing for him more intense, despite his explanations.As she and her maid Venessa entered the car, her phone rang. Glancing at the screen, Laura immediately answered, "Hi, dear." Her voice was sore."Hey... Darling, are you still at the hospital?" Daniel inquired worriedly."We're about to leave now," Laura replied."Alright, so how are you feeling?" Daniel asked."I'm better now, Daniel. At least I can stand on both feet," Laura said, rolling her eyes dramatically.Daniel let out a sigh of relief. "I'm happy to hear that. I have to go now, but I'll call you later," he said bef
Laura chuckled lightly, a playful glint in her eyes. "Why are you so worried about me? I'll be fine, alright... just focus on your trip," she reassured Daniel, with a gentle smile.Daniel, with a playful smirk, responded, "Alright, darling, be good," before giving her a quick kiss and heading out the door. He was bubbling with excitement, his mind already halfway across the ocean to Paris, where he couldn't wait to share the good news with his parents.As Daniel's car disappeared from view, Laura felt a sudden sense of freedom wash over her. It would have been the perfect time to reach out to Harold if she wanted to, but somehow, the desire to reconnect with him had faded. Their relationship had lost its meaning, replaced by the complexities of her new life.The weight of her pregnancy pressed down on her, making every movement a chore. She had promised Daniel she would stick to her medical appointments, and today was no exception. Her pregnancy sickness had been relentless, and she
Laura understood that Harold was alluding to their failed relationship, and his speech irked her, making her eager to leave."Daniel, can we go home now?" She urged, gazing at him."Alright...I need to let Harold know that we're leaving," Daniel replied.Daniel and Laura got up from their seats, ready to leave the party. Before they could go, they bumped into Harold. "Hey, Harold, we're heading out," Daniel said to him."Alright, I'll walk you out," Harold said as they left through the door.Harold accompanied them to their car, saying goodbye as they departed."Does she think I will come back and keep begging for her forgiveness? I can't do that anymore, I'm fucking done with that shit!" Harold thought as he watched them drive off.Harold was having a great time at his party and didn't want anything to spoil his mood, that was the reason he ignored Laura completely. Daniel and Laura returned to the mansion, but Laura couldn't get over Harold's change of attitude. She couldn't believ
"Would you like to go with me to his birthday over the weekend?" Daniel inquired, his voice calm."Ok...I mean...if that's what you want." Laura replied, shrugging her shoulders.Daniel scoffed and dragged her to the bed playfully. "You are such an amazing woman, what would I do without you?" He muffled, poking her nose.As the affectionate words of Daniel echoed in Laura's ears, she couldn't help but wonder about Daniel's love for her. He was too caring and loving to the core."I know that people change, but Daniel's change of attitude surprises me up till now. I never knew he could be so loving and kind."Harold made his birthday a special one. Aside from celebrating his birthday, he was also celebrating his new life. He was able to get over Laura and decided to move on too, that was the best decision he took for the sake of his sanity. He almost went crazy longing for someone who never wanted him again."No more!""No more!"Harold's birthday was expensive but simple. Invited a few
Laura struggled to keep Harold out of her thoughts. "I can't let him get in my head, I only need to focus on my newfound love with Daniel. I still love Harold but I can't afford my heart to be shattered again." Laura thought deeply, staring at Harold.Harold waited patiently for Laura to speak, but she remained silent, lost in her own thoughts."Laura, can you please say something?" Harold interjected, reaching out to gently grasp her hand."Don't touch me.." She said, taking a step backward.Tears rolled down Harold's cheeks uncontrollably, noticing that Laura remained indifferent towards him.His pleas didn't change a thing and worse, Laura said something that he never expected to hear from her."I'm sorry, I don't love you anymore, Harold.""The only man I love right now is Daniel and my life seems to be so much easier now because he loves me too. So please just leave me alone."Harold was star-struck, his eyes widened in disbelief. He couldn't comprehend that everything that he a
Harold lay down slowly, his breath soft and steady. Lizzy, fueled by desire, swiftly tore open his shirt, eager to seize the moment, and kissed his lips."Laura... Laura..." Harold's voice trembled, lost in his own illusions. Mistaking Lizzy Laura, he reached out, grasping her face, holding her close, longing for the comfort of what he believed was there."Lizzy asked, her eyebrows creasing in confusion, 'Who's Laura?' And suddenly, Harold fell asleep right away because he was drunk.""Harold," she said, gently tapping his cheek, but he remained unresponsive. "I guess I should leave him alone. I wonder who Laura is," Lizzy pondered, sighing heavily.Lizzy, out of kindness, took off Harold's shoes and covered him with a blanket. She chose to let him be, even though she couldn't have her way with him.Harold, slowly opening his eyes, realized that he was in an unknown place. He wearily sat up on the bed, wiping his eyes.Immediately, Lizzy walked in. "Hey, sleepy head, you are up." She
Harold leaned forward, giving Sidney a serious gaze. "Please I want you to leave." He said, feeling exhausted."Did he just ask me to leave his house? No...I don't think he's been serious." Sidney thought."Didn't you hear me? I said leave!" Harold exclaimed. "Harold, you need to calm down, you are not thinking straight right now." Sidney stuttered a bit.Harold didn't want to hear any more nonsense from her, so he quickly stood up, went to the door, and opened it. "Get out!" He yelled, his eyes raging with anger."Alright...ok...I'm leaving." Sidney stammered, exiting the door.Harold was obviously frustrated and needed to take it out on someone. "What's gotten into him?" Sidney muttered, looking confused.She stood in front of the door for some minutes, hoping that Harold would let her in again, but unfortunately, he didn't open up, so she left.Harold slammed his fist against the wall in frustration, muttering, "I can't handle this anymore, I just can't." He began sobbing heavily.
