When Hailey interrupted us because she was able to wake up, I gave them the time. I texted Hunter that his girl has woken up and he needs to come back quickly. After a few, he was panting in excitement on the progress of the woman he loves.

That next day, I was informed by the investigator that she's leaving again. He followed her to the train station and found out she's bound to Arizona. I wasn't happy that she's leaving again but I needed to find her location. I wanted to know where she's hiding or what kind of life she has in that place. I strictly instructed the investigator to not let her out of his sight and keep me posted from time to time.

When he disclosed that Kelsie is living in Scottsdale, I told him to dig in more. He found out on that same day that she's living with an old woman. When he revealed that she has a two-year-old son, I was extremely surprised. I thought that she adopted a child because of the depression she acquired from losing ours but when I

  • Screaming Hearts   Prologue

    Brent Damien Davis “Wait for me! I'll just put sunblock,” I was sitting on my surfboard when I heard a voice of a girl from afar. It was the anniversary of my father's company, the Davis' Construction Group and we had a team-building celebration at Ocean City in New Jersey. I used to attend different kinds of occasions because my Dad never missed bringing us along. That served as my training ground on how to deal with the people in business knowing that someday I will replace him in his position. I never regretted coming to that place, the sea and the waves brought calmness to my soul. That time, I was just waiting for the bigger waves because I was out to surf. I looked around and my attention was caught by a girl with wavy brunette hair. I think she was around 14 or 15 years old and she was kind of adorable. She was smiling from ear to ear as she ran towards a group of young girls and boys. I think they were also the family m

    Kelsie Nicole Miller “Aira, see you tomorrow,” I bid goodbye to my friend and co-worker Aira while heading out towards the exit door of LaBelle - a popular western restaurant in Los Angeles California. When I stepped foot in California, I immediately looked for a part-time job to support my studies. LaBelle is one of the restaurants that offer part-time jobs for employees like me. I could say that my three years of working in the restaurant helped me tremendously in my finances. Aside from having an amazing workplace, most people are considerate and kind. I felt lucky enough to be part of the team. “Bye Kelsie, good luck on your exam!" she smiled widely and waved her hand. Honestly, being a working student requires infinite perseverance and determination to be able to cope up with everyday needs in school and work. I'm proud of myself that I was able to balance everything in between after years of hardships. I could say that hustling in my final

    I woke up early and did my morning run at Runyon Canyon. After an hour, I headed to Hollywood downtown to have my breakfast at The Bagel’s Coffee house- my favorite coffee shop in LA. Aside from having a tasteful bagel, they're also making a pure organic coffee that could satisfy my cravings at a very low cost. I used to spend my time at the place after my exercise. “Davis' Construction Group of Companies signed a contract with the US Engineering Department for a billion-dollar Subway Project” written on the front page of a newspaper. After all the years, they managed to be the leading construction firm in Europe and the US. I could say they're good at hiding their anomalies. I took the time to read the contents while sipping my aromatic coffee. I found out that they belong to top global companies that earned more than a million dollars per month. My anger grew bigger because they don't deserve success after what they've done to my father. "W

    As soon as I entered his office, I saw him talking to someone while facing the window. “Yes Hunter, please check that also, thanks man I owe you for this," that's what I heard. The first thing I noticed was the luxury scent that smells good and I know it was him. His office is a combination of Grey and black colors that looks so manly, there were no other things aside from the black couch, his office table, and a painting. When he turned around and sighted my presence, the smirk did not go unnoticed. “So, what can I do for you, Ms. Car Scratcher?” he asked while looking at me intently. “M... Mr. Harris r...requested me to give this to you,” I trailed off as I was uneased. He twisted his lips and raised his left brow at me without breaking our eye contact. “I’ll just put it here,” and pointed at his table. “I will go back to my work,” I avoided his gaze and turned towards the door quickly. However, before I could reach for the kno

    “Here’s your coffee, Mr. Davis,” I placed the cup on the right side of his table. It was only 11:30 in the morning but I already served him his second cup of coffee. I couldn't stop myself to think if he's trying to kill himself of too much caffeine. Tsk! He was so busy reading a document but I took the courage to ask about what he wants for lunch. I needed to inform Mr. Harris ahead of time because it was his instruction to me. “No, don’t bother I’m fine with this coffee,” his attention was focused on the document. I think he was studying the restaurant's status and financial report but he should not skip his meal. “Are you sure? You should eat real food. Too much coffee isn't good for our body,” He looked at me with those deep and captivating eyes. It Seemed he was suppressing a smile and even I, did not realize I talked too much. Damn! He cleared his throat “Okay, I’ll be having pasta Farfalle Cheese. You can also order for your lunch,” my eyes wid

    I wore a seductive dress to impress him but I guess my plan did not work. He got pissed rather than being seduced and I felt awful about it. That was bizarre! The first thing I did after that conversation was served his coffee. Then I checked all the emails, appointments and compiled the necessary documents for his signature. I made sure to sort all the pending of Lauren. I didn't want to pile up errands on my plate. I was so busy finishing other documents when Kate, the senior finance officer came in holding a folder with a contagious smile on her face. "Hi, Kelsie," she winked and I smiled at her in return. “Is Mr. Davis in his office? Can you give this to him?" she handed me the documents which I politely accepted. She said it's the additional documents related to the financial records of the company and Mr. Davis requested to see it for review. “Sure Miss Kate, no problem,” I responded and she turned her back after thanking me.

    "Kelsie, would you mind if we drop by a restaurant to have some dinner?" he spoke calmly. I stilled because I didn't know what to say. "Dinner?" I asked him back with furrowed brows in confusion. "Yeah," he confirmed. I wanted to refuse but when I thought of my plan, I realized that would be a good opportunity. Besides, I felt famished listening to my professor. "Alright," I replied like a whisper and I saw him suppressed a smile before we drove off. “I know a restaurant around here that you will love,” he started a conversation and I just nodded at him. “How’s your class? Are you not having a hard time dealing with work and studies?" He sounded normal like talking to a friend. Honestly, the personality that I was seeing greatly puzzled me. I cleared my throat “I’m used to it, Mr. Davis," I replied shortly but decided to elaborate a bit. "I need to work hard to earn a degree for a better future". “I admire you for t

I was worried that she's bothered by something and eventually get sick because of it.A day before our wedding, Mom expressed that she never encountered a problem with Kelsie on the preparation.

    Brent Damien Davis“Make me a cup of coffee” I ordered Kelsie via intercom. I heard her sigh before saying okay. When I dropped that call I grinned because finally, I could have her near me every day.I’d been waiting for that moment to get close to her. I knew that she’s working in that restaurant for a couple of years already. When the owner decided to sell the establishment, I immediately made an offer with a hefty amount they couldn't refuse.Since that day her father died, I have always wanted to protect her. But it didn’t happen because my parents sent me to Massachusetts to focus on my Master's and Doctorate in Business Administration at Harvard. I couldn't refuse at that time because I don't have the authority to defy their orders.Right after my graduation, I looked for her and found out that she already moved to California. But again, I caught up with problems in our business which need my attention the most.

    When I opened my eyes, I was lying in a hospital bed with a machine beeping beside me and an IV attached to my hand. I looked around and I saw Aira standing and leaning on the wall wearily. When she noticed that I'm awake, "Kelsie!" she exclaimed worriedly."How are you feeling?" she asked hastily. "Hailey! Kelsie is awake," she called and I heard Hailey responded from the bathroom before she pushed the door open. "Thank goodness!" she murmured."I'm thirsty," I said weakly. Aira opened a bottle and put in a straw for me to sip conveniently. "Why am I in a hospital bed?" I asked but recalled that I wasn't feeling well before I fainted."Hailey, call Brent that she's up," Aira told her and she complied. They said I was out for eight hours because the doctor infused medicine for me to rest that long to recuperate from exhaustion. They informed me that Brent is coming shortly from the precinct with Hunter on the investigation of the fight that happened the previous

    Brent told me that his mom is about to speak to everyone and thankfully, we got back to our table right before she was called up the podium. All of the guests gave her a round of applause as she paced to the front.Right at the beginning of her speech, she thanked each and everyone for coming and for celebrating her 55th birthday. She gave some words of wisdom and encouragement which was a good inspiration to take in. As she talked at the podium, you could tell that she's a warmhearted person. Her class and personality are like a match made in heaven. I felt so lucky to have her as my mother-in-law.When she was about to end her appreciation, she called her husband up for a clink. My father-in-law Sebastian stood up with Louie whose arms are wrapped around his neck."My friends, my birthday celebration is extra special today because of my grandchild," the elation was evident in her tone. "And I would like to take this opportunity to introduce my daughter-i

    "Open your eyes," the makeup artist which Natalia hired for me announced that we're done with the hair and makeup. She took an hour to finish applying the shades on my face and for me, that was fast. With a widened eyes and parted lips, I stilled at how she made me look splendid. She braided my hair and wrapped it around my head with a few strands left in front of my face."Do you like it?" Max asked cheerfully in his gay-ish tone. "Max, you have magic hands," I praised him heartily. I was able to attend an event in the past but the look and shades he blended for me for Natalia's birthday event is a total opposite. I mean, I was beautiful in the previous transformation but Max made it simple yet elegant."You're a standout tonight!" he exclaimed in vivid spirits. "Thank you, Max," I replied in awe. He pulled me toward the evening gowns which Hailey sent for me to choose. I thought she will only send a piece but she made three beautiful gowns in different colors.&

    "Miss Olivia," she tried to intervene but the bitch warned her to stay away. "You slut, get back to your post!" she pointed to the station furiously but my anger rose at how she treated the poor assistant. "And why you allow that brat to make the office a playing ground?" she motioned at my son and I gritted my teeth in infuriation."You have no right to insult her!" I interrupted with a quivering voice. As I didn't want to distract Louie whose a few meters away from us and oblivious about what was happening around, I tried to lower my voice."Of course, you will defend her. Birds with the same feather flocks together," she taunted and that got me infuriated to the peak."Let's be clear here, Olivia!" I was firm with my words. "Why are you so angry with my comeback? What are you to Brent?" I asked her straightforwardly. She was nonplussed on my retaliation and couldn't even justify her relationship with Brent."Are you his wife?" I retorted and wait

    I could say that I have a great time spending my time with Brent's family again. I never thought that I could be as worry-free after all the misfortune I suffered in the past.As we were walking towards the Land Cruiser in front of Davis's mansion, "Darling, I'll be having a birthday celebration in LA in the next two weeks," Natalia told me in good spirits. "It would be a happy birthday for me if you could come and celebrate with us," the excitement in her tone was evident.I knew that she's saying it carefully because she doesn't want me to feel hesitant. She's aware that I was aloof ever since before. As I didn't want to disappoint her, "I will," I replied calmly. After all, I needed to make up with them and to show my support for her celebration is a sign of gratification.Our flight back to LA was smooth and safe.
