Matthew fixed his gaze on Rissa as his lips quivered. “Aren't you late for your music class?" his granny said, eyeing him suspiciously." I will leave soon”, he responded, avoiding her grandma's laser-eyed stares." Pass me the rag, Matthew”, Rissa said suddenly, which caught him unaware; he quickly picked up the rag with lightning speed and handed it over to Rissa, feeling pleased with himself.Rissa looked at him but kept on dusting the shelves in the pharmacy, but Matthew remained fixated on the spot, shivering slightly." Spill it, you are making me uncomfortable”, Rissa screamed at him and his grandmother laughed hysterically.Without a word, she walked out on both of them to tend to her cat." I...I .. want to say...it was just a....r.. rumour," he stuttered, avoiding Rissa's intense gaze." I don't understand," Rissa said confused " I...mean Golden Fingers CEO's ... wedding”, he said, throwing her a side glance.Rissa's countenance darkened but she pretended to be unaffected.

" Then he is a virgin, aren't you?" She turned to Luke who was too embarrassed to respond.To further worsen the situation, Rissa couldn't hold in her laughter at the moment, which further made it unbearable for Luke.He ran out avoiding the question. The girl looked stunned initially but smiled knowingly." He is so cute, isn't he?" the girl said to Rissa, giggling like a teenager.Rissa just smiled back pleasantly, she didn't know how to handle the awkwardness of the moment." I think I want to date him,” she said playfully, walking out of the pharmacy in haste, leaving Rissa's dropped jaw." She definitely has to be one of the city spoilt brats; even her accent is woke”, Rissa said, feeling a pang of jealousy at her boldness.Luke was truly breathtakingly good-looking despite the fact he was born and groomed in the countryside.His caring and innocent personality makes him an amazing catch too, but Rissa knew better than to get carried away by that.Rissa saw that PimPim made its

Abraham hastily pushed open the doors of the pharmacy with the old pharmacist lying unconsciously in his arms.The women were at his heels, panicking along with Matthew and Luke, her grandsons." We need to get her to the hospital in the next town now!" Stella shouted in awe." That is too far away, she wouldn't make it!" a tiny voice screamed, and all heads turned in the direction of the voice.To Rissa's surprise, that was the same lady who bought a leg cramp cream a few hours ago." Let me check her out first; I am a medical student,” she shouted convincingly.Abraham and Stella exchanged looks as Luke also nodded in affirmation. Mrs Wilson was already paling out, and they knew the risk of not getting her medical attention instantly could not be underestimated.Abraham placed her on a slab in front of the pharmacy, and the lady performed some first aid on her, which, to their surprise, awoke her consciousness." She is awake!" she announced proudly as everyone gathered around her

" Do you know him?" Camela's question hit Rissa as they walked on after escaping the wrath of their supervisor." No…I don't; he only reminds me of someone", she said, smiling sardonically.Her mind drifted off to the first day she met Liam at Golden Fingers; the moment he walked in, all heads turned in his direction, including hers.It felt like the world stood in stance for a while, and right then, she knew she had fallen in love with him.Camela tapped Rissa gently, jolting her out of her trance. "I said he is drop-dead gorgeous though". Rissa just smiled sadly; Camela wasn't exaggerating with that; the aura the man emits outweighs that of even Liam Hickson.They both walked into their changing room and wore their work boots and safety clothes." I bet he has tons of girls dying to date him, as I am also smitten," Camela said in hoarse whispers, and Rissa laughed." I know he is out of my league; let me keep fantasizing”, she added jokingly." I didn't say anything" Rissa shrugge

The antidepressant fell out of Rissa's grasp as she felt a sharp pain in her pelvis, she stilled on the spot as she felt liquid trickling down her legs.Her heart thumped loudly at the thought of what could be wrong as she managed to look down in between her legs to see the water trickling down it.She had immersed herself deeply in the bookish knowledge of the inexperienced childbirth enough to know what that means.Mrs Wilson picked up the drug and put it on the shelf with her trembling hands, where Rissa was about to arrange it." Is anything the problem?" she asked as her countenance was laced with concern " Granny! the baby! I think the baby is coming," she shouted as she felt another round of pain.Mrs Wilson's eyes widened immediately as she scrunched out immediately to call on Stella. Her blurry sight made making calls difficult for her.Rissa placed her right hand over her stomach and breathed in and out while the contractions lasted.She had read that it lessens the pain; w

" I named him Caleb," Rissa said firmly; she turned her back and faced the sofa, signalling her lack of interest in explaining her decision." Caleb it is," Stella said, laughing awkwardly, and everyone else joined her.Rissa felt a mixed feeling from deep down in her mind; she had always imagined having a glamorous wedding as she did, spending lots on an exquisite baby shower and having her child christened in a mind-blowing way.Caleb wriggled in his crib, signalling his awakening.Abraham moved close to the crib and rocked him back and forth lovingly." You will make a good grandfather, Aby," Mariah commended him joyfully as Caleb seemed to warm up to his gentle nurturing.Stella blushed sheepishly as she imagined walking down the aisle alongside Abraham in a white flowing dress.A car came to a halt in front of the cabin, and Mariah quickly jumped up on her feet “My husband is here," she declared proudly.Mariah's husband alighted from the car and walked humbly into the cabin.He

Luke smiled warmly at Caleb, who was tightly wrapped in his arms, his eyes lit with excitement at the reciprocation of it from the cute three-month-old baby who smiled pleasantly at him." He seems to like you a lot," Rissa said, watching the duo while updating the pharmacy log." Children love me a lot," Luke responded instantly without taking his eyes off Caleb who wiggled playfully in his arms.Rissa knew Caleb must have felt drawn to Luke's positive energy as everyone else did. If only she could bring herself to feel a romantic connection with him.Unfortunately, she couldn't, or probably she wasn't willing to. Love was torn out of her dictionary over a year ago when she became an infamous laughingstock of all blogs." Don't you think it is high time you put up interest in the pharmacy?" Rissa asked out of the blue taking Luke by surprise." I…I don...I don't want to Rissa," he responded frankly " Why? You are smart and intelligent," she said reminiscing over the memory of stumbl

" Miss Rissa Stonebridge, your contract with Perchy Peach has been terminated," Rissa read out rubbing her eyes over and over again.She shivered slightly at the thought of her worst fear being realized. She knew her contract was about to expire at Perchy Peach processing factory, but she desperately wished to be contacted.She sat dejectedly, holding her hand to her chest; how was she going to survive single parenting without another job apart from the part-time at the pharmacy?PimPim made its way into the pharmacy signaling Mrs Wilson's return. Rissa sat up quickly, pretending to be all right." Hello, Rissa," she said, smiling pleasantly as she walked in gently. Her muscles had gotten weaker from ageing." Mrs Wilson, it took you quite some time," she said as her voice was laced with concern." Yes, I had a more elaborate test carried out on my sight," she said smiling pleasantly.Rissa's phone chimed, but she ignored it, still bittered by her supervisor's negative news." Check o

“Then you get to take a shower after killing the cockroach laced in your hair”. Diane laughed hysterically at the mere memory of the general’s word. She remembered how she had jumped up and ferociously pulled at her hair in a bid to get it out. Unfortunately, she just got herself fooled by the cunning bastard. Everything was going to be over soon. Finally, she was going to get her happy ending, which she had strived endlessly to achieve. Rosa had reported seeing Amber rushing into Perchy Peach and the scowl on her face a few minutes later when she exited. They must have had a bone to pick. She made for her wine cellar and brought out the best there is but she didn't have the flair to pour more than a few glasses, she had to disconnect her spy recorder in Rosa's car that minute, she was tired of hearing her moans while on missions, Mr George seems to have been digging her right. Mr Smith was right; coming back to Los Angeles was a difficult task for her, having to hide from raising

“Don't you think we should…..”The door opened, cutting Rissa off her word; Amber rushed him; she looked unkempt and uncomposed, and both Adrian and Rissa looked stunned. It took them quite some time to react to her presence.“Mrs Hickson, this is a…..it's a pleasure to see you.. please have a seat”, Adrian offered.“I know all too well that it is not a pleasant meeting, not at a time like this, but I have no choice.” Amber burst into uncontrollable tears, and Rissa moved closer to console her. Even at the most dangerous moments, she had never been this shattered.“Mrs Hickson, what is going on?” Adrian questioned suspiciously.“Liam is being blackmailed”, she said, dabbing her tears with a handkerchief.“By Diane?” Rissa questioned suspiciously.“Not her; he tells me everything about her moves, but this was an anonymous person.”Rissa felt a pang of stabbing jealousy at Amber's words; Liam hadn't been the type to hide things, unlike Adrian, who was prone to. She wished he never had t

Mandy hugged Caleb for the umpteenth time. She felt herself moved to tears, and it took all of her self-control to hold it back. Caleb was sulking, too; he had really gotten used to Mandy's presence for the few days that her departure was about to leave a void in him.His mother, Rissa, had been quite…..distracted these days that she barely had time for him. Also, his father's business was at a huge turning point; he had been keeping himself company with the numerous video games, but right now, he was getting bored.“Don't worry, pumpkin; I will come to visit soon with a lot of chocolate.” Mandy's reassuring smile did little to cheer him up, he nodded innocently. “Now baby, you wouldn't want Aunty Mandy to miss her flight, will you?” Caleb nodded in affirmation and shifted back into Rissa's embrace. He kept waving goodbye till she was out of his view.Rissa's eyes were glued to Mandy's departure, she felt sad but also was happy that nothing negative had happened during her stay in Lo

Rissa felt her cheeks heating up; she opened her eyes slightly as Adrian kissed her lips gently. It feels great every time, she thought inwardly. She wrapped her arms around him in a bear hug, pouting innocently. He looked into her eyes and laughed heartily. Rissa Stonebridge sure is full of surprises.“I got you some gifts”, Adrian said with a charming smile plastered on his face.Rissa disentangled herself from him; her eyes shot up; what was the occasion? It wasn't even her birthday. She turned her head to her bedside and saw a crowded bunch of wrapped gifts, Just looking at them from a distance, she knew he must have spent a fortune.“What is the occasion, Mr. CEO?” she said teasingly.“Nothing special; I just achieved my aim of seeing a sweet smile on my girlfriend’s cute face,” he said, squeezing her cheeks playfully. Rissa rolled her eyes and laughed “I am everything but cute! Nah, I am way past that, thanks to being thirty”.He hugged her tightly and kissed her cheeks; Adrian
Stolen heaven Chapter 155: Something Dumb To Do
Mandy waved enthusiastically and Caleb rushed into her arms. They both couldn't contain their joy; she hadn't had a video call with him in weeks, and it felt like years; she almost got thrown on her back by his huge hug. Rissa walked up to her smiling pleasantly.“Caleb is all grown; I almost fell on my butt from his hug.”Caleb laughed as he disentangled himself from her. Rissa hugged Mandy, too, and kept on blabbing about the jet lag and how she was craving a cold shower and some home-cooked meals. She reached into her pocket and handed over a chocolate box to Caleb which he collected enthusiastically.“You have lost a few pounds, Mandy. Have lectures been stressful?” Rissa questioned worriedly.“Very stressful, but I love it, it keeps me on my toes, and I only have one more year to endure the hard part.”Rissa nodded in understanding and they all walked out of the airport beaming with smiles. Mandy had called her three days back to inform her about her return to Los Angeles for a f

Diane kept gulping down more wine; she was beyond drunk, her face was swollen, and her lips were plump. She smiled inwardly as she listened in on her Bluetooth headphones. The soft moans, her mind drifting off to its imagination, parted her legs slightly and inserted two fingers into her core.The moans intensified, and so did the thrusting of her fingers; she heard the male groan, and her senses flew up; she felt the shift in power and his vigorous thrusts on the female; she felt herself reaching her peak and let out a soft moan before withdrawing her hands.Diane felt herself weakened on the sofa, her juice flowing out freely from between her legs, she smiled satisfactorily. She hadn't had the time to do that in the two months since she arrived in Los Angeles.“Can we do this a few more times?”“Don't you dare dream!”She heard the words and laughed hysterically, Rosa hadn't been aware of the bug in the car, but Diane knew she couldn't trust anyone. Stupidly enough, her assistant de

Everything else was grand except that the plan itself was fruitless; Adrian's eyes scanned the report on his table; he held up his head with his left hand and ruffled his hair. Confusion set about in his countenance; how could their brilliant idea go down the drain like that?Perchy Peach developed a new marketing strategy and product packaging, and within two days, the internet was filled up with negative reviews of it. He had tested it out privately, and nothing seemed to be out of place, but some people seemed to be hell-bent on tarnishing their image.His phone rang loudly, and he dipped his hand into his pocket to retrieve it; he picked it up instantly, and Rissa's voice came through. Caleb was reported to be ill from school, and she had to rush out of the office to get him to the hospital.Fear gripped Adrian, was this coincidental? He knew Diane was going to come for him and Rissa, but he desperately hoped for her own good that Caleb wasn't gravely ill due to one of her mischi
Stolen heaven Chapter 152: Solace In Your Demise
Winter sure was as expected; Mr. George walked out of the prison yard smiling pleasantly; a few weeks ago, she had promised to help him out; he didn't know she had such influence; two days earlier, his parole was granted without any hassle.He waved his hand excessively the moment he sighted her standing beside a luxurious car he hadn't come across before, his eyes shone in admiration of the car and the stunning owner.“Congratulations”, she said nonchalantly as he approached.“Thank you”.They got into the car and drove off instantly; Diane alighted in front of the restaurant opposite Perchy Peach; she put on her sunglasses and curvy hat, a perfect disguise for someone who had been presumed dead.Mr George didn't ask any questions; he had done his research on her secretly. She was supposed to be dead, burnt beyond recognition, but he didn't care how she survived as long as she could be an instrument in his revenge.“I got you a place and job”.She said, sipping on her coffee; the re
Stolen heaven Chapter 151: Like All The Others
“You have a visitor”.Mr George turned and eyed the warder maliciously, he looked tired and haggard from the day’s strenuous activities now he had distracted his nap time. He wondered who his visitor could be but he couldn't wrap his head around it, his girlfriend had stopped visiting two months after his verdict had been stamped, his aged parents despised him a lot now, they were devoted Catholic, how could a child of theirs commit such great atrocities.“Who?” He questioned casually.“Get your ass up, inmate 7505; I am busy”.Mr George rose and yawned lazily; he silently hoped Liam or Adrian hadn't come seeking him for some kind of forgiveness; he laughed hysterically at the thought of that. He braces himself ready to dive into whatever lies ahead of him.The door flung open, and he walked out; he eyed the keys in the warder’s hand; if it had been the only key to get him out of the whole prison, he would have stolen it and absconded.“Aren't you going? I told you I am busy inmate 7
