“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.

    Elena“Awwwnn, Elena. I really don’t want to leave you here all alone.” Nancy looked like she could cry right now. Tsk! Always so dramatic. “I promise to end this drama in the next three days. I will be back before you know it, okay?” Nancy had been complaining about leaving me all alone, as if I was a little girl who seriously needed protection. I told her to calm her mind and do her work, but she wouldn’t take my word for it. “Come on, Nancy, you make me feel like a handicapped person. Off you go. Shooo!” I tried to drive her away, but she captured me in a warm embrace, resting her head in the crook of my neck. Our closeness gave me the assurance I needed that she was with me through thick and thin. No matter what happened, she was there for me, and I was glad to know that. “How am I supposed to shoo without being concerned about you, El? You’re going to meet Ronan freaking Simpson after three years of avoiding that idiot.” Nancy looked so dramatic that someone may confuse her fo

    Elena “I left here after the hour hit 2 o’clock. He wasn’t here when I stepped out, so they were absent from our meeting. By extension, Chiq Royale did not honor our agreement to meet for a discussion. Mr Assistant, please tell your boss that we would not cooperate with Chiq Royale anymore. You can excuse us now.” I didn’t even spare one more look at the young man who just stood there, staring at me as if I had two heads. “Mr Greene, you can…” I was about to drive the assistant away when Malvin doused me with so much cold water that I nearly froze from the realization. His words were a true shocker. The traitor… “Elena, please, calm down. You missed him by a few seconds only. Truth be told, he was right on schedule. He didn’t delay in the slightest.” What the heck! Was this guy my assistant or Elijah’s lackey? “What you’re trying to say is that…” I pushed further, daring Maalvin to repeat what he just said. I dared him to attempt defending Elijah Greene, and by extension, his b

    Elena“Malvin, eat your food. You won’t get satisfied by ogling at me, you know. Besides, I already know I’m beautiful. You don’t need to remind me.” I know I sounded shameless right now, but I had nothing else to say to my nosy assistant to get him to stop watching me like I was an animal on display at the zoo. “Well, I know you’re beautiful, Elena, but I would never dare to say it to you.” Malvin never changed. He was still the same guy who wouldn’t even take a second look at anyone who remotely looked like she belonged to another man. Even if you were being chased by another man, it was enough for him to back away and allow the person to have you. Such a spineless young man. Well, I guess it’s true what they say, once bitten, twice shy. At this rate, I would need to start setting up blind dates for Malvin, else, I wouldn’t see him get married in this lifetime. Tsk! The. Again, I couldn’t really blame him, after all.Malvin chased a young lady so dutifully back in college, but

    ValerieI couldn’t believe that the person I spoke to in that office was my proud and usually arrogant elder brother. Love could really bring the mightiest of men to their knees, indeed. Only a person with zero emotional quotient like Ronan would believe he had no feelings for Elena Jones all these years. Who was he kidding, anyway?After leaving my brother’s ward, I decided to solve this pressing issue without telling him about it. How could I remain idle, just because he asked me to? Ronan has always been a proud man who rarely asked other people for help. Even me as his sister never had the chance to do anything for him. Not when we were kids, and not now that we all became adults. However, for the first time in my life, I witnessed my brother break down because of Elena Jones. The sight was eye-opening. It was already annoying that Ronan didn’t appreciate Elena’s love, but he also pushed her away when she needed him the most. She had a terminal illness for crying out loud.I coul

    ElenaHow could Valerie be here? She was supposed to be… Well, somewhere… Just not here. Who even told her I was in this restaurant at this time? When did she come back?“Val, are you the same person I met the last time, or you also changed like the others?” The question was at the tip of my tongue, but I didn’t let it out. I missed Valerie like the sister I never had. I might even say that I allowed Darcy to get so close to me because Valerie was rarely around. Even at the point when I moved into the Simpsons’ old mansion, and we were supposed to be under the same roof, I scarcely met Valerie. While she began to pull my hair, I realized too late that she was the same Valerie I knew from all these years. Just like Uncle Simpson, Valerie didn’t change either. She just stood there staring at me as if I was a statue she had to observe. It was as if she wanted to commit my features to memory. What! W… Why would Balerie be crying? I didn’t do anything to hurt her. How could she be cryin

It was… Simply…”I couldn’t find the words to describe how I felt. I know it was weird, but I felt as though a huge weight was lifted off my shoulders when she did that. I didn’t know I was still so pissed with the Simpsons, until Valerie did what she came here for. When she bowed and apologized for each of them, I was suddenly reminded about all the painful memories I’ve been trying to suppress. At that moment, I realized I was still angry with them, even though I only tried to suppress it all these while.“Overwhelming,” Valerie concluded my words. She sounded so sure of what she said that I didn’t wish to burst her bubbles by telling her that I felt relieved in a strange way when she apologized on behalf of everybody. Not that I had plans of returning to the Simpsons, but her words made me realize that there was another Simpson who really felt for

    RonanI had to do a lot to finally get Benson to bring my mobile phone here. I couldn’t believe my own housekeeper paid more attention to my old man than to me, his boss. What’s worse, I couldn’t even threaten to fire him. Since Elena left, the had never been the same. Even after giving him so many months off to spend more time with his family, he still returned sulking. I realized there was nothing I could do to make him return to the old Benson I knew. Since he silently Ames me for Elena’s departure, I had to resort to cheap tricks to get him to release my phone to me. In the end, he couldn’t resist the temptation of seeing Elena back in the house. So, with the promise of seeing Elena again, Benson disregarded my father’s instructions and returned my phone. I bet he missed my ex-wife more than I did, huh?“Boas… B…Boss… Boss… You won’t believe this.” Elijah rushed into my room with a flustered look. He was so agitated that I wondered if anyone was chasing. When I looked behind hi

    Elijah Greene“Calm down, boss. Please calm down. I’ll tell you everything you need to know, but let’s not talk about seeing her now, okay?” I spoke to Ronan as if he were a child that I needed to coax with a piece of candy. Ronan Simpson couldn’t believe what he was hearing. His assistant truly treated him like a child, huh? I knew I might just start sending out applications for employment in the next minute. “Do you want to find another job, Mr Greene?” The boss’ words caught me unawares, and I even choked on my spit. Didn’t I just jinx myself. As soon as I thought about it, he said it. That’s some sick shit right there. I got a wife to wed soon enough, and I couldn’t bear to lose my job. Not now, not ever. My eyes bulged from the shock, and I couldn’t believe my ears. Wait. I might have gotten something wrong, because I don’t get it. “Did the boss just call me Mr Greene? What the heck?

    Elena “I heard Valerie is pregnant.” I informed Ronan in a jovial tone, allowing him to get the picture. He always said that Valerie made his children forget him whenever she was around. Now that she was coming back for good, Ronan’s mood was sure to plummet. As I was teasing my husband, I heard the cries of one of the triplets, and my heart skipped a beat. I was about to get out of bed when Ronan reminded me that I was in the room to take a nap. Aunt Delores said she would take care of them, so I left the kids with her and the nannies. I am really exhausted, but now that I’m on the bed, I can’t sleep. I’ve tried closing my eyes several times, but it still wouldn’t work. “Elena, you don’t want to sleep?” Ronan asked in a mischievous tone. He looked like a kid who’s favorite toy had been snatched from him. I know his worries. The kids turned three months old today, and Ronan had been living like a monk since they were born. He has been reading a lot lately, letting me know I wa

How dare he? “Hello, let’s meet at Palates Haven.” I was expecting this call as soon as the plane touched down. We’ve been in talks for the past four months, and I wouldn’t wish for a better time to have this talk than now.I found my way there without waiting at the airport for any car. I don’t wish to announce my presence here, anyway.“Sorry I’m late.” I apologized as soon as I got to the place. I was a few minutes late, after all. “It’s fine. I haven’t been here for long.” He responded, causing a smile to break out on my face.“David Spencer, you said you loved me. Please tell me why I should believe you.” I pushed a stack of documents toward him, and when he opened it, his eyes were wide like saucers. It’s not like I don’t return his feelings, but I needed something concrete. He had better choose his words carefully, because that is what would determine whether he lived or died today.

    Elena Knowing it was Darcy, I realized I was worked up for nothing. What else did she spoil in the dark? Why didn’t I notice who she was sooner? Darcy Taylor… Hmmmm! The least said about you, the better. I couldn’t even hug Jackson without my stomach getting in the way. My friend from so many years ago. Then again, I’m happy for him. I’m glad he made it big. “Well, to add to the good news, I’d prep Mr Jones for a surgery in a month’s time. If he comes out successfully, he should be on the road to recovery. He would be up and about in six months. One year, maximum.” Jackson’s congratulatory message didn’t even sink into my head. All I could think about were his words. “You mean my father can walk again?” I had to ask again to be sure. My body trembled from so much excitement that I couldn’t control it. “Yeah! The doctors took good care of him. His physical fitness is top notch. They just d’t know where to look to make him better. I bet they already gave up on him at a point,

    JacksonElena Jones in the flesh. She hasn’t changed a single bit. The years have really been kind to her, and she still looked as much in love with Ronan Simpson as she was a decade ago. She’s even carrying his child. If I had known she was the patient’s family member, I would have run here to sort things out long ago. How could I ever repay her kindness in this lifetime? “You two know each other?” I didn’t know if I should say yes or no to this question. Which would she prefer?“Yeah, Jackson, tell my Uncle. Do we know each other?” Elena’s reaction is too confusing. Could it be the pregnancy hormones or what? She wasn’t supposed to get angry with me. I was the one who got hurt by her words and inactions. “I should be angry with you, Elena. Not the other way around. Why are you playing the victim? You know what, how about we let this slide, for old time’s sake?” I didn’t want to push this any further. Elena is one of my benefactors I could never cease to acknowledge. No matter wh

    Elena The meal went by in a jolly mood, as everyone chatted lightly. I couldn’t keep out of it, as random questions were thrown to me now and then. I felt lightheaded throughout the meal, but tried to hold it in, so I wouldn't scare anyone. Halfway through, I couldn’t take it anymore. “Excuse me.” I stood up anruptly, headed for the washroom, but before I could take up to three steps, I was consumed by darkness. I couldn’t even resist in the slightest. “Elena,” Ronan’s crazed voice sounded in my ears. I couldn’t tell why, but he started crying and begging me not to leave him. I guess Ronan carried me to the room, because I woke up in his bed. When I tried to move, my head felt so heavy, but it was still bearable. When I tried to lift my hand to my head and massage my forehead a little, I felt a weight on my hand. Looking toward the direction, I noticed Ronan holding my hand firmly. As soon as I tried to wriggle out of his hold, he also stirred awake. It was already nightfal

    Ronan I was reliably informed that Elena was to make a journey to the old mansion today. As a result, I came to support her. This occasion was supposed to be a family dinner, yet, Elena wasn’t here-so was dad. I could tell those two were up to something again in Dad’s study room. The old Roman would have flared up, accusing Elena of telling tales to my father. However, I finally realized I was just living like the fool I was supposed to be. I walked toward the study, only to meet it half closed. “Uncle Simpson, please, let my Dad go.” What! Why would Elena want to remove the life support? She gave up on her father after so many years? “What if I say I don’t agree?” My words were unexpected, but I had no plans of allowing her to do this. I believe Uncle Jones can be saved. “Doctor Fischer is still working on inviting that specialist he spoke about. We would double our efforts and bring him in. Can you wait till he arrives? Let’s make a decision after his diagnosis, okay?” E

    Elena It’s been three months since the incident at the hotel. Darcy did so much to ruin me, but I ended up in the arms of Ronan Simpson, the only man I ever loved. I tried so much to fight my affection for him. I thought I already moved on from him, but I clearly didn’t. Now that he was hell bent on making me accept him again, Ronan did everything possible to atone for his sins. He was everywhere at the same time, and I even had no choice than to explain to Ruth that my husband wasn’t truly dead, but was rather someone who didn’t stand up for me when I needed him the most. To my utmost shock, Ruth became Ronan’s advocate. She was the one who made it possible for him to meet me on different occasions. Now, I couldn’t even tell if Ronan wanted to turn my house into a florist shop, because he sent a bouquet of flowers every morning. He was so consistent for the past three months that I woke up sometimes looking for his flowers. His devotion so far has moved my heart, but it was

    Ronan Last night, I was a beast, and I knew it. However, I just couldn’t control myself around Elena. Having her squirming beneath me, with her hands running all over my body, and asking for more and more… I didn’t expect it to happen so soon. I was ready to help Elena take a cold bath, knowing I was the last person she wanted to see tonight. However, when she offered to get someone else to satisfy her, I lost it. How could she ask that of me? I know I really did a number on her, but the most important thing now is that the drug was cleared from her system, and we also managed to avoid a calamity. That was the most important of all. We both lost ourselves in the passion, going until we collapsed. I must say Elena had it worse. She was so out of it that she didn’t even notice when I carried her to the bathroom for a warm bath. She slept so soundly throughout the ordeal. At least, it gladdened my heart that Elena trusted me enough to leave herself at my mercy. As I watched

    Elena I was glad to see Ronan marching into the room like my knight in shining armor. His expression looked so fierce, yet I didn’t know who his anger was directed to. When he knocked a few teeth out of Darcy’s mouth, I finally understood that he wasn’t falling for her schemes today. I raised my head briefly and realized how he stared at Darcy as if she was already dead. Then Darcy’s men were shot in the balls. I folded my knees to my chest, as I fought the drug in my system with all the strength I could muster. Darcy ruined my family. She was the reason my Dad became a vegetable, yet, I invited her into my home. Dad never wanted her at our house when he was healthy, but when he got into a coma, I invited Darcy in to keep me company. When I moved into the Simpsons old mansion, I allowed her to stay in the house for a while, until she betrayed me at the university and moved out on her own. Little did I know that the betrayal started long ago, and I just didn’t notice. She ap
