Ramona eyelashes flickered as she slowly opened it to see Sebastian sitting on a stool in front of her.She's lying on her bed in her room. She tried looking away when Sebastian held her wrist, squeezing it gently as he locked her fingers into his.“What happened? Who did you talk to? What made you faint? Ramona, are you fine? Is someone threatening you, a….”“One question at time, Sebastian. I'm fine, I just need some rest, my body is stressed out” Ramona cut him off, and he looked into her eyes.“Ramona, you are not fine, what's wrong?”“Nothing is wrong with me, I'm fine, I'm very fine more than you think so stop bothering yourself “ She stated.“When do you start putting password on your phone?”“Since, and why are you with my phone?” She questioned immediately.“To find out who called you?. Ramona, you threw up in the pool, you cried bitterly before fainting and you want me to believe that”“What do you want to know but there's nothing to say to you. I threw up because my tummy h
“Are you going to tell him?” Lady Mary asked, in a low tone, and Ramona just stared at Sebastian as he approached her with Deacon.“Welcome, what would you like to take?” Lady Mary asked, and Deacon nodded, twitching his thin lip.“Cinnamon tea would do, Sebastian, I will wait for you in your study room. And Ramona How are you fairing?” Deacon greeted her warmly, and Ramona responded as she watched him go upstairs.Lady Mary went away, heading to the kitchen as she gave them some privacy that they deserve.“Sebastian,” Ramona called, softly.“I guess you are fine now, that's good” He tried leaving when Ramona held his wrist.“You want to walk out on me?” She asked, in a low tone.“You almost did the same to me if I did not stop you” Ramona tiptoed as she kissed his lip, grasping his cheek with her two small hands.“I'm sorry for acting like that, I think there's a reason behind it” She said smiling, and he chuckled, staring at her in amusement.“What could be the reason that made you
Sebastian got a call from Elon that Ramona had been rushed to the hospital after she collapsed at the lounge in the office.Without further hesitation, he drove straight to the hospital with Elon. When he got into the hospital with Elon l, they briskly ran to the reception to inquire about Ramona. With the direction one of the nurses gave them, Sebastian rushed like an angry lion to the room where Ramona was admitted. Fortunately, for them, they saw the doctor coming out from her ward.“ Doctor, what happened to my wife? Is she going to be fine?, The baby?” There was no sign that the issue was serious but the fact that Ramona was pregnant made Sebastian freak out without hope.“ Your wife will be fine” The Doctor sighed and Sebastian scanned the expression on his face. It was frightening.“ Doctor, I'm asking again, how is my baby? Tell me, I need to know” That question was rather rhetorical without an answer. The expression on the doctor's face spoke volumes.“ I'm sorry, your wif
Sebastian told Elon to be with him in the car shortly after he left Belle. While Belle left to be with Ramona in the ward, Elon went to Sebastian in the car. Ramona was oblivious to the happenings around her so she ignorantly played and laughed with Belle as usual. There was no sign that something happened to her apart from the slight pain she was having in her abdomen and she was hopeful nothing happened to her.Elon lifted his eyes and found Sebastian leaning by the car making a call outside the Packing space in the hospital. When Sebastian hung up on the phone he sighed and signaled Elon to hop inside the car to drive him out.“ Where are we going, sir?” Elon asked, holding the steering wheel, frightened by Sebastian’s Look.“ To look for the villain that killed my baby and want my wife dead” Sebastian’s face darkened at the thought of losing his child to an enemy. Elon shut his eyes to see how hurt Sebastian looked and swerved the car in the direction of the company.Shortly
That day at the company after Elon had left to be with Sebastian, Mrs Ida secretly lurked in the CCTV monitoring department. She had been monitoring Elon's movements and she knew he was up to something. Maya called her earlier, instructing her on what to do so she was bent on doing that just to ensure that they were not exposed. Getting to the CCTV department, she met only one of the young men working in the team.With strategic planning, Mrs. Ida walked in to carry out her scheme.At the door, Mrs Ida ensured she was properly dressed before walking In. She has to appear professional while talking to the young man inside. “ Hello, can I come in? “ Mrs Ida smiles, waiting for a response before taking further steps.“ Mrs Ida come in. What are you doing here? The young man replied without taking his eyes off her.Mrs Ida cleared her throat and fixed her hair properly before saying a word.“ Umh, I am on an investigation with Mr Elon. He just walked into the car and asked me to captur
As Ramona heard the sad news, she fell off Sebastian’s hands and passed out.Belle and Sebastian rushed to her, and the doctor suddenly intervened and Ramona was placed properly on the bed.“ Doctors, is she going to be fine? What happened to her” Belle asked while holding Ramona’s hand.Sebastian shut his eyes without saying a word. He knew this was going to happen. It was the fourth time Ramona lost a child and this was painful.The doctor was just about to flush out the dead child before she just fainted. “Doctor,”Sebastian called with a cold voice. The doctor tried helping Ramona recover from the shock but he noticed something worse had happened to her in the process. Looking at Sebastian, the doctor tapped him on the shoulders with a cold expression on his face. “ Is she going to be fine? What about the dead child in her womb?” Sebastian asked, glancing at Ramona who was lying lifeless on the bed.“Mr. Sebastian, I would like to pass an important message to you now at my offic
After the flushing of the dead child, Ramona's body. She could hardly walk properly but with the help of Lady Mary and Sebastian, she was taken back to the ward.Shortly after they got to the ward, Sebastian put Ramona back on the bed. The doctor said she wouldn't be able to leave the hospital today until she was fit enough. Sebastian sat by Ramona's side while Lady Mary sat on the couch lost in thoughts.Ramona was having a sharp pain in her lower abdomen as a result of the drug she was given but with the help of Sebastian, the pain subsided.“ Ramona, you will be fine okay,” he whispered to her ears and kissed her.Ramona looked at him with pain in her eyes and said in a shivering voice” Seb, when will I stop losing my babies, When? This is the fourth time I’ve had this challenge” Tears brimmed her eyes.Sebastian wiped the tears off her face and fondled her cheeks. He knows how much pain Ramona felt during the removal of the child. It was horrible. As he sat patting her hair, his
The next day at the hospital, Belle told Sebastian that she was coming to the hospital with Decon.While Lady Mary tried making Ramona some hot Sicammon tea, Sebastian sat with Romana waiting for Lady Mary to prepare the tea.Gazing at Sebastian, Ramona noticed he was becoming malnourished. He must be going through a lot because of the imperilment they are having.Ramona stretched her hands touching Sebastian's forehead to feel his body temperature and it was all normal.“ Seb, I'm worried about you. You look malnourished.I'm sorry for making you go through these challenges” Ramona said, frightened.“ I'm just fine, Ramona. You don't have to worry about me. All I need you to do is just to be strong for me. Will you do that for me?” Sebastian asked Ramona and she managed to force a smile.Maya’s threats were getting Romona nervous every time she was all alone. Will she always get over Maya’s threat?Soon, Lady Mary was done with tea and Sebastian helped Ramona to sit up right on the b
As the day drew near to dusk, the earth cast a dark cloud in the sky, telling the little foxes to go for a rest.At HILILi Estate that night, the whispers of two adults could be heard from a corner of the garden. The whispers were accompanied by sweet kisses and giggling of two lovers, who hid themselves in their warmth inhaling the breath, from each other’s nostrils as they stood gazing uninterruptedly at each other's eyes.However, the aura inside the house was pretty tense as the voice of a woman screaming her life out, and of children jumping in merriment could be heard from the large living room of the opulent home.Amidst the ruckus from inside the building, Ramona and Sebastian wrapped up themselves disregarding the distraction from the kid. They trusted Lady Mary and Dianna to handle the situation. The moment was blissful as the family came to understand why they must forgive each other and allow love to lead.The reconciliation between Ramona and Sebastian affected everythi
Despite the hurt in Belle’s heart from a broken friendship, she still gave Ramona a hug when they got home.In her confusion, Ramona didn't know that her new boss was a friend of Deacon. According to Deacon, Scott told him about the feelings he had grown for Ramona but only got to know the truth after he showed Deacon a picture of Ramona he took while she wasn't aware.That day as Romona stepped her foot to the home she once found comfort and solace, a drop of tears tickled her eyes. Belle’s home still bore the love and warmth she knew even after five years.Belle, after a warm treat, poured out all her grievances at what happened five years ago. In a heated conversation, Belle asked Romana if she had been pregnant with Sebastian before she left the house.The air still as a question that would clear the doubt of everyone was thrown at Ramona. With hands clenched to each other, Ramona let out her answers shocking everyone and confirming Sebastian’s words earlier. For days now, Seba
That day, the sky cast bright lights on the roofs of the city, calling it a quiet day from dusk to dawn.It's been a week since Ramona and her family moved from Australia to New York City. Having made enough money to sustain their livelihood, they rented a cozy apartment far from every tiny thing that had to do with Sebastian and the Sinclairs.Having spurred herself to cater for her kids without exposing them to Sebastian and his family, Romona decided to work harder for her money, while Lady Mary took care of the kids.Luck played its way around herself and Dianna as they got picked by Quib Technology, one of the most popular companies in New York City after the N.C. group. The company’s pay was mouth watery too so Ramona didn't have to worry. That morning while it was day's break, Romona got up from bed to the kitchen, trying to get a lot fixed before going off to work. She loved her new job but it was a bit strenuous yet, she had no will.For days after the encounter with Sebasti
Standing dumbfounded by the hallucinating scenery that was yet to unfold before Sebastian, he lifted his numbed cold feet, increasing his pace to meet up with the woman who just walked past him a while ago.In an attempt to re-identify with the woman, Sebastian called,” Ramona” His breath longing for clarity and confirmation at the people he just saw. Sebastian’s voice echoed deep into Ramona’s soul sending an impassive sensation into her once-broken heart. With eyes filled with tears in an overcome battle of forgiveness from the past, Ramona made a slow turn, avoiding the interruption from the busy airport. Having Kain, one of Sebastian’s heirs in her hand, Ramona with her head buried on the floor, stood face-to-face with Sebastian, her body longing for his warm hug.The noise from the busy airport and the trailing sound of luggage struck yet, a certain acute silence swept both Sebastian and Romona's feet as they stood to face the reality that now seemed clear before Sebastian’s e
The morning sun rose down the earth that morning, calling it a Monday morning in New York City.Being the only one left in the grand house at HILLI Estate, Sebastian has learned by compulsion how to go shopping and make his food without the help of anyone. Five years of Ramona's departure taught him a lot about life. Since he had wiped off all his enemies, his life has been peaceful without him having to be bothered about foes threatening his life anymore.He has been conceiving the thought about getting a child lately seeing that he was childless and needed an heir over all he has. Having resolved to go back to his formal way of life, Sebastian had decided never to get married again but to adopt a child for himself. That morning as he was preparing to go out, he got a text from Elon telling him about the business meeting he was having the next day in Los Angeles and his flight had been scheduled to leave that day.Vaguely unaware of these plans, Sebastian angrily calls Elon back to
The day became brighter as Romona's babies began to increase in height and so Romona began to feel the need to introduce them to their father. The winter season was over and Romana could not believe it was five years already. Lady Mary has been pestering Ramona on the need to go back to her husband and makeup with him but Romona has been adamant claiming she could raise her kids alone.As the family sat in the living room, Kayla, the one female amongst the boys came crying to Ramona, reporting Kain and Kelvin, her older brothers to her Mom.“ Mom, Kain takes to and doesn't want to give it to me” Kayla cried more, her eyes seeking comfort and justice.Lady Mary being a grandmother figure to the little children, carried Kayla and consoled and wiped off her tears. Soon, the two boys, Kain and Kelvin came running toward Ramona and Lady Mary.“ You boys, don't make your sister cry next time again, okay?” Lady Mary warned, putting Kayal down to have a word with Romona.Chuckling, the boys
In Australia, the buildings and roofs were covered with the first drop of snow reminding the residents that Winter was here. The previous season, Autumn, was favorable to Ramona and Her newfound family. Ramona glanced at her protruding baby bump and smiled. She was in her EDD. She couldn't believe that it was nine months already and she was expecting the arrival of her newborn.She rubbed her stomach with extra happiness ringing in her heart. That morning, Ramona sat on the bed of their three-bedroom apartment, heavy from the weight of her pregnancy. Australia has been a home of safety and protection for Ramona and her unborn. Life in New York City tore her to the bone but she was shielded from All of that tempest immediately she arrived in Australia. Ramona could still remember the one man she had ever loved. The scars and tumult were imprinted in her memory forever but the joy of his seed, ready to be born gave her a new hope. Her pregnancy was the only remains of Sebastian in
That morning, Brett, without any expectations, did come earlier to the company like everyone else. Engulfed by a serene environment with no tempest, Brett resumed his duty but was taken aback when Elon burst into the office with two policemen by his side and under a cold breath, he muttered”, What is happening here? What are you doing here with these men, Mr. Elon?” his eyes sparkled, fear written in them.“ You are under arrest, Mr Brett. You are advised to remain silent because whatever you say shall be used against you in the court of law” One of the Policemen said.Perplexed at the situation, Brett with up with yes fixated on Elon while his hands were handcuffed. “ This had been your plan all along, right? “ Brett with wide eyes glared at Elon, his breath, thrusting up and down like he would swallow up anyone who came to him.“Please take this man away. He had caused the CEO and the company too much havoc” Elon beacon on the policemen and walked away. Cold, shaken, and broken, Br
That day as Sebastian left Belle’s, he returned to the company to reflect on how foolish he was to have conceded with Kendra’s presence around him. The snake showed up at a challenging time to wreck what he suffered to build for years. After the day’s work, Sebastian stumbled into Brett taking a stroll outside the company to get a cab. He guessed his car developed a fault seeing Brett had never taken a cab home before. Without uttering a word to him, Sebastian zoomed past.Brett, for a second, stood gazing at the rate at which Sebastian’s car sped before retiring back to his phone. Belle’s phone conversation with Sebastian earlier was the reason he permitted Brett and Kendra another chance to breathe sterile air before he took his last revenge on them.For the wound in his heart, he planned to slaughter Brett and Kendra but at the mercy of Belle and Deacon, he spared them to take a night to tour the city otherwise, they might not get the chance to ever catch a glimpse of nature fo
