007: Almost Died

last update Last Updated: 2024-12-17 03:16:09

Elena

The clouds began to gather, and the streets of Lockwood were soon becoming empty. Everyone was hurrying toward their destinations, but a certain individual walked among the sea of people like a headless chicken.

Her steps were sloppy, her eyes looked puffy, and her whole appearance screamed one word-pitiful!

The lonely figure was none other than myself, Elena Jones.

I didn’t know what direction my life would take from now?

The more unloved I felt, the more confused I was about bringing a child into this cruel world, or should I just leave with the baby?

Suddenly, I was jolted to my senses and moved out of the way reflexively. A few young men on motorcycles began to cackle provocatively while surrounding me.

One of the riders nearly ran over me. Landing butt-down on the ground, my senses kicked in.

I was in trouble!

There were three men in total, and each one was scarier than the next. One of them had scorpion tattoos spanning from the right side of his face down to his nec

  • Realizing Faults, CEO Wants To Remarry Everyday   008: Hitting Elena's old flame

    RonanSeveral Hours Ago: “What! Are you serious?” I blurted in shock, grabbing my phone tightly. I didn’t wish to believe what I was hearing, but it’s Elena and David Spencer we’re talking about here.“Calm down, Ronan. A college friend just gave me the information. I don’t know if that’s true, but many people know how close they were. Maybe someone just overreacted. Go and see for yourself..” Darcy’s voice sounded hesitant, and I felt it as she tried to hold back more information. Even at a time like this, she still tried to speak up for Elena. How could Elena despise someone as accommodating as Darcy?I disconnected the call without bidding Darcy goodbye, because her attempts at defending Elena were getting on my nerves. Those two had history, and I would be a fool to believe that this was merely a coincidence. Opening my tracker app, I quickly found where Elena was, and drove to the hospital after entering the GPS coordinates. Along the way, a thousand and one thoughts run thro

  • Realizing Faults, CEO Wants To Remarry Everyday   009: Why do we need to wait?

    RonanMy mind conjured images of Elena in David’s embrace. How dare she do this to me? Yes, I don’t love her. However, I never led her on. In our three years of marriage, I never tried to raise her hopes. Elena, on the other hand, didn’t stop reminding me how much she loved me. She always told me I was her first and last in everything, and I felt my heart swell whenever she made those comments. I guess the only thing I beat that Spencer guy in was being the first man to take her virginity.“Why am I so pissed off about Elena being in the hands of her old flame?” It must be because she had been lying to me for the longest time. I wished I could get to hit that David guy once again. I should have beaten him to a pulp and broke some bones, even. Then I’ll see how he’d dare to touch my woman again. “Shit!”I quickly swerved an oncoming vehicle just now, and would have been involved in an accident if I didn’t react fast enough.“How dare you occupy my head like this, Elena Jones?” I pack

    ElenaIt’s the third day of being admitted to the Saint City General Hospital, and I must say I had a lot of rest. My mind hasn’t been so at peace in a long time. I feared I might even grow too many pounds from lying here and eating all the good food that Benson brought daily.The doctor didn’t want me to go home until everything was okay with both the baby and myself. I wouldn’t blame him for trying to be careful. After all, whenever we met, I was in terrible shape.“Okay, Mrs Simpson. You are free to go home now.” Finally! I get to get to leave this bed. It’s so funny how the doctor hasn’t allowed me to step an inch out of my ward or watch television. He even made Benson cease my phone, saying I only needed to sleep and get my pressure to reduce before I left the hospital. Now he was finally ready to release me.“Thank you, doctor.” “Don’t thank me, Mrs Simpson. Just take good care of yourself. I really wish I could say I don’t want to see you here again.” We both chuckled at his at

    Elena“Elena, dear, it’s so good to see you.” As soon as I stepped through the door, Uncle Simpson’s exaggerated reaction alerted everyone to my arrival. He looked much more relaxed, as compared to how I met him five days ago. Standing before my father-in-law right now, I felt guilty for not visiting him since we left the hospital. “Uncle, I’m so sorry for not coming to see you all…” I was about to say more when he beat me to it. “Come on, Elena. Why must you be so hard on yourself? You’ve brought me flowers every single day I spent in this hospital. Who cares if you couldn’t be here for only two days?” What? Me? Flowers? When did I send him the flowers, and how did I only leave out two days? This man! He was clearly lying with such a straight face. Even I wouldn’t have detected the lie, if I didn’t know better. “Come over here, my child. Don’t just stand there.” Uncle Simpson held my hand tenderly, unconsciously taking my mind to how my father used to hold my hands. “Don’t be too

    Elena“Ronan, what is happening there?” Uncle Simpson probed, his face ashen with shock. He was speechless at the scene on our screen, just like I was. Haven't I cried enough? Haven't I complained enough? Haven't I loved my husband enough? What was it about Darcy that I could never surpass? “Ronan Simpson, I am talking to you!” Uncle growled in a suppressed voice, gritting his teeth. I could see he was doing everything possible to control his anger. He took a deep breath to calm himself down. “Dad, it's nothing. No need to get yourself worked up. It’s not what you think.” Ronan spoke in a terrifyingly calm tone. I felt like a block of wood that Ronan had absolutely no regard for. “Are you listening to yourself? Ronan, do you think having women swoon over you is what makes you a man?” Uncle still suppressed his anger a bit, but when Ronan didn’t respond, he became more forceful. “I've been with your mother for more than thirty years, Ronan. In all those years, I have never looked

  • Realizing Faults, CEO Wants To Remarry Everyday   013: I need some time with my wife

    RonanI was excited to finally see my father being his former cheerful self. Even though he ignored mom and I, we couldn’t blame him too much. No one could touch his dear Elena, after all. I always wished Elena could be as truthful to my father as he was with her. He loved her more than his own son, but Elena never saw beyond her schemes and ploys. Dad truly deserves someone better to dote on than her. Sometimes, I wonder what her true face looked like, because I couldn’t tell who Elena was anymore. I watched her grow up, and I thought I knew her, but I didn’t. The Elena Jones I grew up with would never have done all the despicable things she did and still paraded herself around like an angel. I couldn’t explain it, but I wondered if she got hurt in the wrist. I noticed how badly she tried to hide the pain, but Dad wouldn’t allow me to touch the wheel chair. To top it all off, he only wanted to be with Elena, and he just had to praise my wife for being beautiful. It was a good thin

    Elena“Dad, do you know I was so scared back there? Why would you do that to us?” I was standing in front of my father-in-law, my arms crossed in front of my chest. I could tell something was amidst, but it took me a white to understand what it really was. “What? Sweetheart, desperate times require desperate measures.” How could he say such words so easily? Ronan thought I was a manipulative person who always cooked up stories to win his father over. How would he feel if he found out that the stunt Uncle pulled in there was all fake? “Calm down, Elena. You are my daughter, and I would do anything to protect you.” I could feel the sincerity in Uncle’s words, but my mind was already wandering everywhere. This wasn’t supposed to be what marriage looked like. It was supposed to be a union of two loving people who would do anything for each other-like Uncle and Auntie. “I don’t want to be desperate, Uncle. I thought of a happy home with Ronan. I wanted to spend the rest of my life with

    ElenaOur drive back home was relatively quiet, and I couldn’t look for the right words to speak. Ronan didn’t try to speak to me either. However, Uncle’s words kept ringing in my mind, and I couldn’t believe how silly I have been all these years. While trying to be the perfect wife, I lost myself in the process. Now, I would ignore everything Ronan did to me and try to make my marriage work while being true to myself. There was no need to be somebody else that I wasn’t. To please the man who’s heart was set on another, I became cowardly, someone who agreed to Ronan’s every word, and would never question him, not even when I was suspicious of his deeds. I was the meek and dutiful wife who never raised my voice to my husband. In short, Ronan’s wish has been my command. I literally worshipped the ground on which he stepped, all because I hoped to make his heart beat towards me. I guess I enede up shooting myself in the foot because Ronan didn’t even like meek girls who didn’t have op

    Ronan“What is it, Elijah? Why are you here?” I told Elijah to focus on the work at the office, yet, here he was. “Boss, the meeting with the CEO of Chiq Royale is set for 2 o’clock p.m. You know it was supposed to be a meeting of the two CEOs. So I wanted to find out if I should just send an email to cancel it or…?”Oh, right! I totally forgot about that. I was finally going to meet the mysterious CEO of Grand Ambience today. How could I miss this because I became too weak? Damn that Conrad for keeping me here till the end of the week! I bet he’s just enjoying holding me in this damn hospital.“You could have called me on the phone for this, Elijah. Don’t waste my time. Why are you really here?” He couldn’t fool me with his facade. I could already tell he was hiding something.“Boss…” Elijah still hesitated, but I wasn’t having it. Whatever he had to say, he might as well spill it now. My look said it all, and he didn’t dare to tarry any longer. “Boss, the design team made a compla

    Ronan“Elena!” “Calm down, Ronan. You called out to her for the past few hours, but we’re doing our best to find Elena wherever she is. All I need you to do is calm down for me, okay? We’ll find Elena for you.”Valerie had always been willful and mischievous, but no one ever told me she was a sweet talker. How could she promise me something like that? I may have lied to myself for a long time, but how was I to find Elena? How were we to find her? Keeping hope alive about her existence was the best I could do. How then could I tell Valerie to find Elena? If anybody were to find Elena, it should be me. After all, I was the one who pushed her away without listening to what she had to say. She lied to me so many times, but right now, all I wanted was to see her safe and sound. I would do anything for that.“Ronan, are you even listening to me?” How could I have zoned out on my kiddo? This battle had nothing to do with Valerie, and I wouldn’t allow her to spend her holiday searching for

    Ronan“Uncle Edmond, I am so sorry for everything I have done to wrong you all these years. Please don’t hold it against me, I beg of you. I have treated your precious daughter like she meant nothing to me. Elena was everywhere with me, and she meant the world to me, but I could only discover how much I loved her after seeing the damning diagnosis. I should have been there for her, but I wasn’t.” I remained kneeling at Uncle Edmond’s bed, wondering if there was a way to make him wake up right now, I would have done that already. Maybe that would attract Elena’s attention wherever she was.Reaching for Uncle Edmond’s hand, I squeezed it a little tighter and wished with everything in me that he could respond to my touch. Alas, it was only my wishful thinking.“Uncle Edmond, you did a favor for my family that we could never pay back. You gave your life to protect my father, but all I gave your daughter as gratitude was scorn and insults. I never treated Elena better than a gold digger w

    Valerie“Mom, I’m in front of the elevator. Tell me which floor I can find him.” I arrived at the Glenn Family Hospital, wondering how long it was since I last came here. It’s really been a while. I couldn’t get it off my mind that my laptop was in someone’s car, and I didn’t have any way of reaching him either. All I had to do was see my brother first. After everything, I would find my bag.Why hasn’t mom responded to me? “Hello, mom,” “Hello,” Mom finally responded, but I didn’t like how she responded. She sounded as though something bad had happened, and even though she scared me a lot, I took a few breaths to calm my raging heart. I couldn’t allow myself to over react.“Mom, what is it? Why do you sound like that, and why does the background seem so chaotic?” I didn’t realize how, but my voice began to tremble as I listened to the commotion in the background. “Mom, please talk to me. Which floor are you on? Just…”I wanted to be there and see things for myself. My brother wasn’t

However, I could feel the soft bed beneath me.There were beeping sounds in the room, coupled with a shooting pain at the back of my palm. I couldn’t tell how exactly I got here, but after a while of adjusting my eyes, I finally found my answer. “The heck! How did I get here?” I am in a hospital. Who brought me here? The last I remember, I was in my house with Elena’s test result in my hand.“Yes, Elena.” I had her test result with me. Where was it? Could everything that happened be nothing but a dream? No. I could remember everything vividly. There was no mistaking it. I really saw that result and passed out after Z confirmed the diagnosis. Elena truly developed stage three brain tumor, and they gave her only ten months to live.“Elena,” I couldn’t get this nagging feeling off my chest. I had to f

    Valerie “Sir, I just arrived in Lockwood. Yes sir.” I had to report to my superior that I landed safely. If I had my way, I wouldn’t call him at all, but I would have had a lot to explain. I knew my boss didn’t feel happy about granting me this leave, but he had nothing else to do about it. I’ve earned this. I have worked for so many years without asking for a single day off. I didn’t even have the chance to meet my family for a long time. Now that something this massive happened, I couldn’t just remain there without coming back. From the way my boss forced himself to sign my request, to how he tried to cut my stay here shorter, even requesting I alert him to my arrival in Lockwood, I knew he wouldn’t have granted me this long leave if he had the chance. Alas, I even promised to avail myself whenever they needed my services, even though I was on leave. “Thank you for approving my long leave, boss. I will be going now.” It took all the strong will I developed over the years to

    DarcyI was kept in this room ever since I was thoroughly wasted and left here. I wasn’t allowed to leave this place; hence, I could only endure the prison I got myself into. Despite all the hardships I had to endure, I was well fed. It felt like I was being fattened for slaughter. Looking around, the whole place seemed too quiet for my liking. It was as if everyone locked me in here and left to God knows where. “Should I try to escape? Maybe no one would even know I left, right?” I finally tried to get out of bed, feeling my lower body ache terribly. It was as if I was jammed by a trailer, causing my legs to feel so heavy.I fumbled with the window for a while, but it was locked. I couldn’t spot anywhere I could open it.“Fuck! I can’t even move without feeling pain. How am I supposed to escape if the place is like this?” I know I looked battered, and no one would see me like this without calling me a slut. The bastard left tons of hickeys on my body, and I could tell he enjoyed ever

However, it was the tales from my past that shocked Nancy and I into silence. Even I couldn’t tell how I survived everything that life threw at me. I was only glad that I survived, and here I was-telling my story as if it was a tale from a movie. I bet it would have been a blockbuster movie if my story ever got to be adapted into a film.All along, Nancy couldn’t stop her tears from falling. She kept opening and closing her mouth without anything coming out. I watched her expression change from shock to anger, terror to frustration, then to awe, and finally, admiration. “You mean you went through all these but never said a thing to me? Elena, are we still friends in your eyes?” Nancy’s tears kept flowing as she continued her rants in frustration. I had no response for her words, since I had no particular reason for not telling her about everything I went

    Elena I really enjoyed my time at the restaurant, and I knew I would definitely be back here later. “Since we already agreed that you’d spend the night at my place, why don’t we just head home at once? We have a lot of catching up to do.” I just couldn’t say no to Nancy anymore. For her to insist that I spent the night at her place, I was certain she had something she wanted to share without involving Malvin. We had a lot to catch up on, indeed. I bet none of us would get a wink of sleep tonight. “Okay, let’s go.” Just like that, Malvin was shooed like a fly, and he had no other choice than to take all our bags and head to our house in a cab. “You finally got your dream couch, huh? It’s big enough to accommodate two people, just like you envisioned.” That was my first remark when I entered her living room. Nancy only smiled at me as if she was basking in my admiration of her couch, when in actual sense, I knew she was glad to have marked yet another item off her wish list. Na
