Drake stood by the big glass window in his office looking out at the view. So many emotions ran through his mind and unknowingly, a tear fell down his cheeks. "Why me of all people? What did I do to go through all this pain? When does it ever end?" He asked himself as another tear fell down his cheeks. He wanted to share his pain with someone, but that someone is the cause of it all. He remembered her beauty, innocence, confidence, daringness and kindness. And he thought, everything about her reminded him of the qualities he had heard about his mom. She was now in her ninth month, and fear of him not seeing his child be born crossed his mind. He wants to hold his child, caress its cheek, and swing him or her around his room. He doesn't want his child to be called a bastard, because of an ill fight between his parents. Such thoughts made him abhor life. Didn't get why things always worked this way for the innocent. His thoughts got distracted by a sudden knock
"I don't think that's how it is done,"Eduardo said "How is it done then," Carissa asked "That one passes through that whiles the other passes through this one," Eduardo demonstrated. Chuckling, she said "How did you know how they do it? Only hood boys are good in this," Carissa said. "Well yeah, I have been a hood boy before that is why I have to say am better at it than you," he said with a smirk. She laughed out loud thinking he was exaggerating. Noticing she didn't believe a word he said, he took the thread and needle from her and began knitting. Carissa watched how he was knitting so fast that her jaw fell down open. She couldn't believe it. He had actually really lived in a hood before. Which meant he wasn't raised with a silver spoon in his mouth. "How do you know how to knit so fast? Even I am not good like that," she said impressed while he continued what he was doing. He was about to tell her that he had been a street boy before but
Jessica was rushed to a nearby hospital near Montenegro's mansion. Since she was in pain, Drake suggested she should be taken there for fast and safe delivery. There was glamour in the air as both Drake and Alonso were longing to see the new member of the family. Drake paced back and forth waiting for any news from the doctor if she delivered safely. Once in a while, any doctor he will come across would be asked if he was the one looking after Jessica. He would curse if the answer was No and continue with his pacing. He noticed some eyes on him and some would even stop and take a picture of him since some rarely saw the prestigious Founder of Lincoln's Paradise in the open. Alonso could see the anxious father not being steady and thought Drake was just wasting his time because he won't allow him to get even a peek at the baby. He would never allow his grandchild to know a person like Drake, not in his lifetime. Soon, a doctor emerged from the Ward wearing
At the pub, three girls came together to party after they had graduated from school. It was a beautiful day for them because the habit of waking up early to be on time for lectures had finally ended today. Not to forget, they don't have to obey any school rules anymore because they were completely done with school. It was now behind them and the only thing they had to look up to was what was ahead. They were not filled with any remorse at all because they now had time to bask themselves without being worried about any projects. Irene, Alexandra and Bianca ordered some whiskeys to cool their parched throats. While Bianca kept calling for another round each time she emptied her glass, Irene and Alexandra just took one. Irene was sore afraid of what her father would do to her if she went home drunk. Not to forget,that was not how she was raised. Meanwhile, Alexandra just went one round in case a guy's eyes were on her, he should be impressed.
Jessica broke down into tears and that was the sight her father came to meet in her room. He walked towards his daughter with a worried look but Olivia stopped him in his tracks. She gave him the look which told him to back off, so he did. He waited till Olivia comforted Jessica and put her to sleep before they walked out of the room. As soon as they walked out, Alonso started once again. "This is all his fault. If he hadn't come back, she wouldn't have been in this state. This worthless boy has made my daughter's life miserable, and believe me I will make him too no…" Olivia cut off Alonso in mid sentence and stood the grounds for her daughter. "Alonso, you are such a shameful father. A lonely fool who always blames the innocent. Why don't you go tell her that you drove Ricardo away. Why are you making him the bad person here, is it only to destroy your daughter's feelings." Olivia yelled. "Olivia,I didn't...." Olivia stopped him from whatever he was going to s
Dracardo stood up from his chair and moved away from his computer. He stared out of the window for a little to let his eyes rest from excess illumination from the computer. He massaged his temple as it aches so badly. He smiled looking at the beautiful view of the outside world and how calm and beautiful it looks. He wished his life would be like this. As calm as a snail, and as shiny as silver. He shrugged his shoulders and went back to his seat to continue his work. He looked through different types of documents. Ones which he felt were important and ones which he felt were frivolous. After spending hours sorting out documents, he went on to read what the court said about his company being sued and the actual reason behind it. He clutched a pen in his hand which he used to underline information which he thought was unvirtuous and something needed to be done about it. He was beginning to feel crusty as he read the false accusations la
Jessica looked at Drake with her beautiful brown eyes, expressionless "What are you doing here."She asked stringently. "Am I not allowed to see my son?" Drake asked, a little hurt by her deportation. "You could have seen your son two days ago, not now. Now you can't see him, and tomorrow too you won't. So leave ." she ordered emotionless. "Jessica.."Olivia exclaimed. "Mom please, let me speak. If he chooses the time that he wants to pay his son a visit, then I shall choose the time to allow him to*. turning to Drake she said *I don't want to see your face here nor in my house, so get out and leave I said." she said, indicating her hand towards the exit of the ward. "Jessica, I understand you are angry, but please listen to me…"Drake pleaded. "I am not going to listen to any rubbish you have to say, I only said get out!" she said, gradually raising her voice at him. "Look, I don't think you have the right to kick me out of this hospital witho
"Irene.... Irene sweetheart,you have a visitor". Liam called out. "Coming dad." Irene yelled from inside and then rushed out to check out who it was. She found Alexandra sitting on their sofa in their house looking remorseful. "Alexi, what's wrong?" she asked as she walked towards her friend's direction. Her father excused to leave them alone and have their conversation. The two got up and went out to have their conversation. "Now tell me, what's wrong." Irene asked, concern visible on her face. "Nothing. Look Irene.... I'm sorry about the other time. I didn't mean to bring my anger on you. I was just upset with Bianca's words but that doesn't give me the right to bring that anger or blame on you. So please, forgive me. We have known each other for years now and I don't want all the happy memories we shared to be stolen by one night argument. So please again, forgive me." Alexandra pleaded. "Alexi, what you also did might have hurt me too, but that doesn't
