Darcy

Uncle Jasper’s words kept ringing in my mind, confusing me further about everything that was going on. He was supposed to end Elena. He was supposed to give me a picture of her dead body. There should have been news about Elena drowning or even burning in a fire somewhere. Making her die in an accident wouldn’t have been bad either. It would have been a beautiful sight to see her mangled body after being jammed by a trailer or some other vehicle. How thrilling would that have been?

He couldn’t give me the satisfaction of seeing all these, yet, he wanted me to believe that she was already dead? What was that supposed to mean? I knew him well enough to know that if Elena was dead, he would have flaunted it in my face a million times. I would have been reminded of how swift he was at handling situations, when all I ever did was to slack off and waste his time.

I plopped onto the sofa listlessly, not knowing how to handle all the delays happening around me. I should have been Ro

    RonanI got a call from my mom, who said there was something that needed my attention at the old mansion. I had a hectic night, so I couldn’t sleep well last night. The nightmares were terrible, and I wondered when I started having such vivid nightmares. It was so bad that I couldn’t close my eyes for a wink of sleep later. I kept drifting in and out of sleep till the sunlight seeping through my room alerted me to the presence of a new day.I would have tried to stay in bed if I had an option, but Elijah managed to schedule another meeting with our overseas clients after so many months of trying. I didn’t want to look like the shitty boss who didn’t give a hoot about how his company went. Too many staff have invested a lot more into this meeting, and I wouldn’t wish to demotivate them with my absence. I believe that assistant of mine would have a heart attack if I gave him another excuse today. The last time, I went searching for Elena, but I never found her. I don’t know if that doct

    RonanMom stepped down the stairs after Dad, looking flustered. She was right behind Dad, but she looked like she had a lot of things to say to me. With him around, I bet she wouldn’t dare to say whatever was on her mind. I could already tell what all these was about. “Good morning, Dad, Mom,” I greeted them politely, hoping Dad wouldn’t bring up whatever it was that he saw earlier. My mood wasn’t the best to handle his temper tantrums right now.“Good morning, son. Hope you had a good night rest.” Mom spoke out as if she couldn’t notice the disaster on my face. I looked like I already run a marathon, or I even went without sleeping for a few days straight.“Mom, you had something to discuss with me?” I wanted to get this meeting done and over with. There was no need to try her and receive a glare from my father when I had somewhere else to be. I had Elena to thank for the strained relationship with my Dad. We were not too close when I was growing up, but I never really had any misu

    RonanThe whole place went silent when I spoke my truth. They were bound to find out, anyway. I delayed it long enough, because I wanted Dad to get better. I kept all these from them because I knew Dad had a weak heart. I couldn’t jeopardize his recovery. He had to be fit, even if I had to hide Elena’s deeds from him. However, he made full recovery over the period, and I had no reason to withhold this piece of information from them anymore. It was best to lay it bare on the table, sooner, rather than later.Maybe, just maybe, my heart would find some peace after I told them about what I’ve been hiding. That was what I told myself when I woke up this morning. Keeping such a secret as this one was enough to make one develop constant migraines. I wanted to let everything about Elena out of my mind. I wanted to be free of this burden. I thought I would feel lighter after speaking, but the gravity of the words weighed heavily on me after I spoke. It dawned on me once again that my wife

    Ronan“Ronan, you seem happily divorced. That’s the impression I get from all this. So why do I need to tell you where Elena is?” You’ve got to be kidding me! Could Dad be for real? He knew about Elena’s whereabouts all along? If he did, why then didn’t he say anything? Why did he keep asking me where Elena was? No. No. No. No. This man might be intentionally trying to make me go crazy. If not, how could he be this calm after causing me to go crazy in this manner?“If you knew where Elena was hiding all along, why do you keep asking about her? Were you trying to pull my legs? What’s in it for you?” Mom couldn’t hold in her anger at the thought that Dad played everyone for a fool. However, their arguments weren’t the words occupying my mind. Dad looked like he knew everything, at the same time, he knew nothing. Gosh! This is so frustrating. “‘Dad?” I called out in a low voice, trying to present a false sense of calmness. I was boiling underneath this facade, but I couldn’t let my fathe

  • Realizing Faults, CEO Wants To Remarry Everyday   089: Take the Simpson name

    Gerald Watching my wife go back and forth about her despise for Elena, always made me pissed. How could Delores decide to detest a child she raised since young, just because she couldn’t birth our son an heir? Had she ever stopped to wonder how it took two to tango? Anytime I tried to talk some sense into my wife, Elena took the fall for something she knew absolutely nothing about. Come to think of it, that son of mine always made me proud and embarrassed at the same time. I could never pinpoint how someone smart, who knew it all, could be so stupid and naive at the same time. The combination always got to me badly. However, he never seemed to open his eyes to the reality. Ronan was a force to reckon with in the business world, but as far as matters of the heart were concerned, he knew absolutely nothing. He was practically a novice in that area. How could he ever be misled to think that he loved someone else, instead of Elena? I saw the two of them grow up.I watched how their eyes

    DavidIt has been four days of torture, four days of moving about like a zombie, and four days of hoping this wasn't the feared end. For Elena, I have lived like a man who has come to terms with her condition. I lived like a man who was ready to move on and take care of her child in her absence.Heaven knows I wanted to be no part of that. I didn’t have plans of becoming a single father to her child. All I wanted was to be with Elena. I didn't mind another man's child, but I didn't want to do this without her. I was okay being her friend, a friend in the shadows, someone she could always call on when she needed help.I couldn’t tell when it happened—when I had fallen so hard that there was no saving me. My initial intentions weren’t to fall in love with her. It was something else altogether, but as I watched her smile, brace all storms, love and get betrayed, and watch her cry when she thought no one was watching… I fell madly in love.Somewhere between my plans and her charm, I wanted

    Elena “Liam, Liam, Liam… Where are you, Liam?” I searched through the living room, looking everywhere for my son. I couldn’t find him anywhere, but I didn’t worry about a thing. We were behind closed doors, and he couldn’t have hidden anywhere I wouldn’t find him. Maybe he just got better with hiding, while I got bad at seeking. “Come out, Liam, where are you? It’s time for bed. ” I spoke an octave higher when I noticed I couldn’t spot my son anywhere. To top it all off, I already searched every nook and cranny of the house. Playing hide and seek before bed had become like a ritual, and Liam enjoyed it a lot. The only time he slept willingly was when he got enough fun from playing hide and seek with me. It was only the two of us, anyway, hence, I had to do this with him every other night. Not that I mind, though, because he happened to be the only thing I lived for. Liam was my light in this dark world. His disarming smile could melt even the stoniest of hearts. He was simply ador

I couldn’t move my hands anymore, even my feet were not so free, and the helplessness caused me to break down in tears. As my tears fell, I realized someone was calling my name. No, not just someone-it was David. How did David get here, and why would he pin me on the bed? What…Bed. I was lying on a soft bed, with beeping sounds blaring in the room. I knew this sound all too well. It must be the beeping of machines. This only meant that I was in a hospital. Again.“Liam, where is my Liam? Where is my baby, David? Where is my baby?” I kept moving my arms, even if his strength prevented it from showing. “Calm down, Elena. Please, calm down, I beg you. You will see your son when the doctor gets here, but for now, please calm down.” I tried to struggle once again, only to hear him say, “Liam, huh, that’s a lovely nam

    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
