"I will interrogate the assassin that was captured. But the police have with them, the other one shot. I hope they get his statement before he dies. But for now, nothing yet" He would so much torture the rascal that he would prefer death to life. He would make him cough out the truth except he is not surnamed Hudson. The two brothers ended their conversation and Jace sighed audibly. He went to take a bath for the third time that night, if perhaps, he would be able to get some sleep. Next morning, before dawn, his bodyguard called him and told him the scoundrel was awake. He got his robe on and used the underground pathway to slide into the basement. His bodyguards surrounded him and the light was turned on. He saw the haggard looking man, his face with patches of dried blood, glaring at him with hostility. No matter what happened, they had sworn the oath of secrecy, he would rather die than expose the identity of their clients. Nothing on earth is going to make
"You fucked his girlfriend and got her pregnant. He was taking revenge on you" he blurted amidst pain. He was sighing in pain and the thoughts of going through the same pain for another three times sent a cold shiver down his spine. Arianna! Jace's mind went to her. She was someone else's woman and he slept with her and got her pregnant with Eli. So that is it. Perhaps he was right to be suspicious of her then. "Who is he?" Jace demanded. Already feeling disappointed about Arianna. He asked her the day he met her in his office and she said she has no boyfriend,no fiance and is not married. So she was someone else's woman after all. He needs to know more about her and perhaps shouldn't think she's really innocent as he now thought. The assassin was quiet, he wouldn't say anything else. He was frolicking with someone else's woman and expected not to get murdered? "Since he doesn't want to say who the fellow's name is, continue with the bloody surgery. And when yo
Richard wanted to look away and just nod his head. When had he become a buddy to Jace Hudson? But he couldn't, his eyes met with Jace's and the broad smile he had on was contagious. Richard chuckled and smiled back. "Good morning CEO Jace"he said and their eyes lingered on each other more. Jace walked further into the room as he cast a glance on Arianna. She was still unconscious and he hoped she would come back to consciousness soon. "Good morning, bro" Chase chimed, going over to his brother and giving him a hug. He is so happy to see Jace, better looking than the previous day. He seemed to put the emotional breakdown of the previous day behind and embrace a new dawn with great expectations. Jace went over and hugged Richard. The latter initially was reluctant but then,he respected Jace for taking the first initiative. They hugged each other and Richard said "I'm sorry, CEO Jace, about yesterday" "It's alright, it's in the past now" he said and passed ano
Richard's voice was frosty but his facial expression was cool. His eyes were glancing at the Defibrillators. It was restoring Arianna's heart beat to normal and his lips hived up for a smile. "Richard" Genesis called him. She was unhappy with the way he was handling things. Sheet wanted to go forward, but her wrist was gripped by a soft but firm hand. Genesis was shocked. She glanced at her hand being grabbed by Jace and glanced at him. She was shocked when she saw Jace's countenance. His eyes were red and there were tears in his eyes. But he was holding back. He suddenly realised he was holding Genesis. He let go of her hand and sniffled "sorry, but don't distract Richard" Genesis just nodded like a zombie. Was she hallucinating? CEO Jace Hudson, having teary eyes? Oh her life, she wants to wake up, perhaps she is dreaming. Soon, the doctors left and Richard sighed softly. Arianna's heart beat has returned to normal. But beyond that, it showed that she was g
Jace paused. He didn't say anything but Eduardo knows he has to say something. "James Maslow," Eduardo announced. Jace's eyes turned dark. He glared at Eduardo with an icy state. What, Maslow guy? How come, he is the man he went to sign a deal with at the hotel before stepping out into pandemonium and Arianna ending up in the hospital. "James Maslow?" Jace asked. This is really difficult. Isn't he related to Clara? At least that's what he's always believed they are to each other. "Yes, Your dear Clara's cousin" Eduardo smirked. He saw the looks on the boss' gaze. He also felt that way, a while ago. But he gradually overcame the shock and brought him a report. Jace didn't say anything else. He got into the elevator and left. He needed to attend to more important things. Then he would come back to deal with that bastard. Clara had fooled him all the while they were together? She always refers to him as her cousin, her maternal cousin and he never doubted her, beca
When Jace stepped out again, he glanced at Arianna and said "I'll check on you tomorrow" he said and said goodnight to Genesis. When the door shut behind Jace, Arianna sighed. She asked where her phone was. That was when Genesis remembered that her phone was in Jace's car. "It's in Jace's car,"Genesis said. Arianna frowned "what is my phone doing in his car?" She asked, feeling furious. He once got her phone and scrolled through it, looking for the contact info of the person who sent her after him. "After you were shot, your bag was placed in his car as he tried getting you to the hospital…" Genesis was saying when Arianna interrupted him. "And after, you couldn't get it out of his car? I want my bag and everything that is inside must be complete" She declared. "He shouldn't have gone far. I will go after him and get it" Richard said and walked out. By the time Richard gets outside, Jace is gone. He called him and said Arianna's phone was in his car. Jace
She said and tucked him harder. How can he not be serious when he's to fulfil his conjugal right towards her. Besides, they needed a child. How can she get pregnant if Ethan isn't willing to cooperate with her? "I want to sleep. Don't bother me" Ethan replied, still with his back to her. He can't stop thinking about Arianna. He had gone to the hospital three times and those bodyguards wouldn't let him in. He Wondered why Arianna cannot be placed in the regular wards like other patients. Is it because she saved Jace Hudson, that they confined her into a separate ward? That's imprisonment with bodyguards surrounding the prison house. "How do you mean I shouldn't bother you. Get up and fuck me, we need to do it, it's the doctors prescription" Daisy insisted, with a sneer. "Is it just the doctor's prescription or you are horny?" Ethan asked. He knows Daisy too well to get tricked by that word, Doctors prescription anymore. "It's both. You haven't fucked me in thre
Jane Delmark was dazed. Susan? She called the name in her mind. She fixed her gaze on Adrian, not knowing if it meant good or bad for him to see her. "This is the second time I saw her in my dreams since the news of her death" Adrian declared. The first time he saw her, it seemed she was sobbing, unhappy that he was unfair to her. But this time, she was telling him something that he couldn't grasp. What was she trying to say? He laid on the bed and covered himself with the quilt. Jane just laid back on the bed and crossed her arms around Adrian's waist. They both didn't say anything, but were lost in their thoughts. The guilt filled conscience of Jane and the unfilial attitude of Adrian made them both know in their hearts that they did wrong to Susan. She was their friend but they treated her unfairly in the end. The worst of it was that even at her death, they didn't show her love nor respect. Years later, they talked about it and blamed themselves for being a
