Two months later~ Ashley’s POV- Two months! It has been two month since the day Xander got shot. Rick was able to send help to us quickly so Xander was saved but he fell into a coma. The doctor said that the bullet missed his heart by just a fraction. I don’t even know what to think of what would have happened if Xander had died. Every day, I stay all day with Xander praying and hoping that he would wake up but he never did. “Please wake up! I need you! Our baby needs you too!.” I whispered into Xander’s ear. Yesterday, I fainted and when the doctor conducted a test on me, it was found that I am two months pregnant! I cried for an hour when the doctor informed me about that. I am happy that we are finally going to become parents. I just hope that he wakes up soon. “Ashely sorry for interrupting you!.” Rick who just entered the room said. Rick has been handling the mafia organizing for the last two months while Xander’s father handles their legal business. We didn’t want to drag t
Ashely’s POVIt has been two weeks since the day Xander woke up and today, he is getting discharged from the hospital. I decided to host him a little get-together at the mansion.His whole family and the high rank mafia officials are invited.“Is the food ready?.” I asked Rose. I am trying my best to make sure everything went as planned.“Yes Mrs Cage. You seriously need to calm down. Everything is ready!. Stop stressing yourself, it’s not good for the baby”. Rose said to me.I signed and let out a dream breath; “he hasn’t been home for almost three months now. I just want everything to be perfect!”. I confessed as I subconsciously rubbed my flat stomach. “We know that. Why don’t you leave everything for us to handle? You just follow Rick to the hospital and bring Sir Xander home?.” Rose suggested.“That will be a good idea. Thanks!.” I appreciated it before I went upstairs to my room to get my bag.Rick drives us to the hospital. We came into Xander’s private ward and met Xander alr
Lisa’s POV~ I am finally going to propose to my boyfriend!!! I woke up very happy today. I can't wait for the day to start fully. Today is going to be full of surprises. Today it’s my boyfriend kelvin’s birthday. Kelvin and I have been together for five good years now. We have been dating since our freshman year in college. Honestly, I can't think of another man as my husband except for him. That’s why I decided to propose to him. I have been expecting him to propose to me since last year but he never did. But I guess because he has been busy. Kelvin got a job with one of the best tech companies in the world as soon as he graduated from college. So he worked hard to impress his boss and his hard work finally paid off because he got a promotion. But that suddenly made him more busy than ever before because he has more responsibility bestowed upon him. He has been so busy that I can’t remember the last time we went out together. The only mode of communication between us these days is
Claire POV~ “Thank you. Here is your money and you can keep the change”. I paid the taxi driver. On a normal day, I would never leave my change with anyone talking more or telling the person to keep the change. Money has always been tight for Claire and I but since among about to become Mrs Kelvin Johnson, that won’t be a problem anymore. That’s why I am not even bothered that I am using all my savings for this day. “Wow who could ever believe that a day is coming that you Lisa will ask someone to keep the change”. Claire made a joke of me and I stuck out my tongue to her and gave her my middle finger. We made our way to the fancy and luxurious store. The chill air from the air conditioners that was blowing as soon as we entered the store was enough to tell us that this is an expensive store. Claire and I stood with our mouth slightly open looking around. “Wow!”. Is the only word that I was able to form in my head. Ever here looks so splendid, expensive and luxurious. From the Jew
Lisa POV I went home and started dressing ready. I wore a short red off-shoulder dress that had a slit at the right side. This will be my first time wearing such a short dress. But I am happy that I wore it because Kelvin loves girls in short dresses and high heels. So I decided to please him. Since today is his birthday. I applied some mascara, eyeliner and red lipstick. I put on my newly purchased red hills and took my black bag and put the ring in it. I stood in the mirror and looked at myself. I was good to go. O how I wish that Claire will see me right now. I don’t look like my normal self. **** I arrived at the restaurant and made my way to my reserve table feeling proud of myself. This is the best restaurant here in country A. Only the elite usually eat here. I have to use up the money I am supposed to pay for my house rent to make a reservation but I'm not regretting it at all. One day, I will tell the story to your children. How much I have sacrificed for our love and for
Along the way inside of the cab, I thought of calling Claire but I kicked against it when I remembered her words earlier this morning. I can’t believe I have been this foolish for five years. Five wasted years of my life. All for nothing. “Mam we are here!”. The cab driver said with a pitiful look on his face. “Thank you!”. I paid him and got out of the car. Luckily enough for me, I am in the urban side of the city. So there is no line at the club. I entered the club and went straight to the bar. “Welcome Mam, what can I offer you?.” A handsome bartender came to attend to me. “Give me the strongest drink you can mix!.” I ordered. From the look on his face, I am very sure that he is used to this kind of order all the time. In no time, the bartender offered me a drink which I gladly took a large sip from. “You are so stupid Lisa! So so stupid!.” I mentally screamed at myself as I drank everything In the mug at once. “Another one bartender!.” I ordered. I can’t believe I used a
Chase POV ~earlier today ~ I dreadfully drove through the gate of my father’s villa. Every other sim will be happy to be returning home after such an award of honor but not me. Although this week, my name has been on everyone’s lips in the whole country. Singing praises to me. Well everyone except my dad. My dad is supposed to be my support but unfortunately for me, it is quite the opposite. Earlier this week, I won the award for the world's best model of the decade. The award has brought glory to my country because it's been forty year since someone from America won that award. Everyone is extremely happy about it and like I said earlier, except my dad. He had never for once congratulated me for any of my success. My dad owns a very big company and also the biggest mafia organization in New York. He had accepted both my elder and I to come and work at the company or join the mafia organization as soon as we became of age. But to his disappointment, I refused and became a model i
Lisa’s POV I feel I was lying on top of something very soft and cozy which for sure isn’t my tiny bed. I opened my eyes only to find myself in a beautiful room. I felt like l could lie on the queen size bed forever but how did I get here? Only drug dealers, mafias, celebrities, royalty and of course rich kids afford such a place. But I am surrounded with broke people, none of my friends are ballers. Then what am I doing here? I could hear my heart racing so fast. I peeped inside the duvet and I had on a white to shirt. But I wasn't in pain, in fact I have never slept so peacefully. "Did they take my kidney?" I began talking to myself. I touched my abdomen and there were no stitches. "Do they want to offer me as a sacrifice?" I said a simple prayer as tears streamed down my face. "God I am a good girl, let me not die like this. I know I shouldn't have trusted that stranger in that bar. Please don't let him harm me. How couldn't I have realized he was a fraud with a cap and glasse
Two months later.“I now present Mr and Mrs Xander Cage. You may now kiss the bride.” The officiant Priest announced.Without waiting to be told twice, Xander pulled his wife to a kiss. He had meant to kiss her since she walked into the chapel looking like an angel in her wedding gown. She is putting on a ball dress gown to hide her four months pregnancy from the public eye.Xander captured Ashely’s lip and kissed her as if he was starving for her. Which he is. The women had kept Ashely away from him for three days. Three days! He nearly went insane because he was already used to sleeping with Ashely at his side.The officiant Priest cleared his throats to get the attention of the newly wedded couple who seems to be lost in passion.“Please save the rest for the honeymoon!.” The officiant Priest Priest teases the couple as the congregation cheered at his words.Xander stopped kissing Ashely as he placed his forehead on hers."I love you so much, Mrs Ashely Xander Cage”. Xander said t
Lisa’s POV “Hello Xander? Chase has been shot! I said immediately I said into the phone.“What? How? When?” Xander asked me. His voice has changed from being rude to worried.I briefed what happened to him. I heard the siren of the ambulance coming. He told me that he would meet us in the hospital and cut the call.“Chase. I called your brother!.” I told Chase. He was already blank out.“Chase! Chase! Please wake up!.” I cried out as I tried to wake him but his eyes were still closed.“Chase please wake up!”. I burst into tears. This is all my fault. The man was obviously after me and Chase ended up being the victim. Heck if I haven’t left the hall, then none of this wouldn’t have happened.“Mam and you move a little bit?.” The medical people asked.I didn't realize they were here already. I moved back and they picked Chase up and took him into the ambulance.“Are you coming with us?.” One of them asked me.“Yes!.” I answered and entered the ambulance.“Can you tell us what happened?.
Xander’s POV It has been two weeks since the day I woke up from coma and today, I am getting discharged from the hospital. I was happy to finally get out of here because I hate the hospital. Whenever I got shot or hurt, I usually have my doctor come over to the house and treat me there. But here I am, I have spend about two and the half month in the hospital. Although I was in coma for the greater part of it, i dreath everything moment I spend awake here.I was waiting for Ashely to come and sign me out. Talking about Ashley, she has been babying me since I woke up. She won’t allow me to do even the little things myself. On the noms, I will hate what she is doing because I hate having someone take care of me, but right now, I am enjoying every moment of it.I was so impressed with her when Rick told me how she handled Xavier my rival who shot me. I wished they had the whole thing on camera.I wonder why she isn’t here yet. She is supposed to have arrive by now. I have already change
Chase POV It has been three weeks since I last heard from Lisa. These three weeks have been the worst days of my life.I try calling her every day but she nervously picks her phone. When I drop by her house to check on her, Her friend Claire will always inform me that she isn’t around even though I know that it’s a lie.The worst part of everything is how Henry brags about spending time with her whenever we meet. I hate every moment of it.I am also afraid that maybe Lisa has fallen out of love with me and is now in love with Henry. But I refused to believe that. I would not let her go and fight for her no matter what happens. I know she needs space and so I will give that to her.I confided in my brother Xander for some advice on what to do because I don’t want to mess things up with her. Xander had just woken up from a coma. He was shot by a rival gang, luckily enough he survived. Xander advised me that if I really want to settle down with Lisa, then it’s time to let go of Clara a
Lisa’s POV I present to you three weeks of rejected calls, ignored messages and massive loneliness. I know of a person who is nothing but sadness and loneliness and that person is me.There is neither love or light in my life.Yeah, the sun rises but it has been ages since it shone on me.I know, that's how unfortunate I am came think of it, I deserve an award.The award for the biggest hypocrite and liar goes to Lisa. I may seem over Chase but only my pillow and I know the untold tears that explain the longingness in my heart. The distance between us was to make me forget him but it just made me realize that I love this son of a man.I don't know how it happened or when it happened but I love him.If only he would want me as I want him with fire and passion.If only I was never an option.If only he had eyes for me, If only.I felt tears burning behind my eyes but I refrained from crying.I continued whisking the cocoa to remove any lumps so as my chocolate buttercream frosting would be per
Chase’s POV I don't know for what reason but I believe you will come. I might be the biggest as*hole in the universe but you always understand me. In my darkest moment, I think of you. In my sorrows, I need you. Even though it seems hopeless to wait, I still believe.I leaned on the wall beside the door, waiting for her who weirdly knew how to restore my sanity. I take another strong sip of whisky but it doesn't really dull the ache in my chest. Stupid whisky, you were supposed to help me forget this torture for a while if not a while please a few seconds would go a long wayI know she will come. I sighed, biting my trembling lips. Second after second I would check my phone desperately. It was only thirty minutes later and I feel like it's eternity. She will come. She would never want to see me hurt or broken.One hour later, Maybe she is just stuck in traffic. Maybe she decided to walk here . Maybe she took a longer shower today.Maybe the taxi's tyre got punctured. Maybe!Maybe!Maybe
Present time*****"Do you need a hug?" He asked and I nodded wordlessly. He caged me into his strong arms and squeezed me a little tighter...I rested my head on his shoulder fighting hard the tears that were making my eyes pepperish."You can just let it all out..."Just what I wanted to hear.I sobbed profusely for what seemed like eternity and all he did was rub my back soothingly. Even though you have hurt me in the past, I can't stand the fact that I bruised your ego...I hope Ian is right and this torture is worth it...I rather die than see your hurt.That's how much you mean to me.That's it Lisa. He is not worth all those tears you have shed."I guess I am already dehydrated..." I pulled back and he handed me his handkerchief."I don't mind if you feel you still want to let it all out...""I am sorry that your denim jacket is all stained with my tears...""I don't mind as long as you are okay...""Let me prepare some sandwich, there is some brawn in the fridge. I hope you are as hun
Lisa’s POV I dropped on my knees as my dam broke. My tears were uncontrollable. When I met him all I thought was, "Damn it's gonna break me when you leave..." And I was right. Crying is a way your eyes speak when your mouth can't explain how you are feeling inside.Henry knelt in front of me and wrapped me in his arms. I wish they made me feel home like Chase's did but all I could feel was been engaged for comfort. He soothed me and promised everything would be okay, over and over and over again but I doubted it .When he lifted my face to look at him,my sobs increased and no words were courageous enough to leave my lips."He is not worth your tears. If you mean something to him then he will fight for you..." He wiped my tears with his thumbs but they were so stubborn."He is Chase, he will never change Lisa..." He cussed out with so much rage in his voice."Do you think he will choose me?" I asked in a dry hoarse voice."If he really likes you then he will...""I want him too Henry.
Lisa’s POV My jaw dropped the moment I saw him.Wasn't he supposed to be in LA? What was he doing here? No, this must be just a dream. For seconds, we just stared into each other's eyes and didn't utter a word. I shook my head with my eyes closed and when I opened them, he was still there smiling. He is really here.I am not hallucinating."Hey Lisa, why do you look shocked? It's me Chase..."I looked at him one more time and realized he had in the same outfit as that night we met in that club.The cap and the glasses made him look more like my Chase and not the star player. Seeing him like this brought a sharp pain altogether. I recalled how he lied to me about his identity and since then it has always been one lie after the other.He had the box with that dress he bought me on his left hand and a bouquet of roses on the other hand."What do you want Chase?" I trembled .I was trying so hard not to cry in-front of him."I wanted to apologize for standing you up yesterday...""She needed
