Tessa
The butler was acting all smart with me and I don't like it. He was crossing a line, he knew we had those boundaries that we weren't supposed to cross, as much as I was a kid to him he was always going to be a servant and me his boss. Asking me questions and taking the control of the conversation that I started, perhaps it was time to remind him of the boundaries since the lines and faded a little and he was getting way over into his own head. As far as I was concerned there was no one qualified enough to find Blake and no one who knew him more than I did.But he was right though, what was I doing in the middle of the night creeping in the compound because of a man who I was ready to divorce? It just got me wondering how right my decision was and once again putting into motion a series of confusing emotions in my head. For some reason I felt like Blake was holding me back without really doing it. Ironically he was missing."You don't get to ask me questions butlerEarly morning, at the General hospital doctors and patients were moving in different directions. Others were coming in while others were leaving either lucky and enjoying to be leaving or they had been asked to create room for other patients who needed urgent care. The sun was shining brightly, splashing it's life-filled flickers all over the place, tall shadows of people walking around, a new day was upon them. A chance to make better of what they already had.Shayna drove back in the hospital compound, she had gone to book a hotel room for Maria. After a lot of consideration it sat well with her to be her aid de camp. She parked the car and left with a steaming hot mug of coffee, confidently walked through the hallway to the most guarded room in the entire hospital, 365. The two guards who were once instructed to beat the shit out of Blake we're standing by the door, they, like Shayna had kept vigil right there. "You guys take five minutes, one of you can go freshen up...I mean take
The Wallace breakfast table was served with all kinds of healthy nutritious food, from tea, porridge, sandwiches, eggs and sausages, there was two jugs of pineapple and mango juice and all kinds of fruits, oranges, berries and bananas. The maids were lined up waiting for the family to arrive, none of them had made their way downstairs already and it was almost alarming until the head of the family came down, in his maroon robes whistling to a tune only he knew what it was about."Good morning everyone, smells good in here" remarked Gerald washing his hands by the sink before he took his rightful seat. At the head of the table. He scanned the food in front of him, a big smile devoured his face and it screamed, money is good. "Are you going to start eating without me?"asked Bailey standing by the spiral staircase, she feigned sadness and Gerald dropped the plate of eggs. "No hunnie just checking them out, nice eggs""You cute liar, where is everyo
AnitaThe butler parked by the back gate of the hospital. It had few people and less activity almost as if it was not in use, and he didn't have to say it. That was the end of our journey together although he was yet to tell me why he couldn't get in there when we both knew he stood a better chance of being heard and listened to than I did. They were probably going to throw me out for not looking like money. But for real the dress I had on that day was the most expensive on in my entire closet."Let me guess, you're not going to tell me why you can't get in yourself?""No, you didn't ask""I have just asked""Not officially though...he thinks I might warn Gerald. Right now although they are friend she doesn’t want anything to do with him""You won't?""Of course no. My loyalty lies with Gerald but he needs to pay for his sins. Blake has been through a lot in the hands of that family he deserves some payback""Okay. I trust you. Wish me luck, am g
BlakeAs if reality couldn't get any weird, I had just woken up from what seemed like eternal sleep and then a random woman who happened to have my eyes by the way, claimed she was my mother and funny enough, now this one made it even more unbelievable...the people who were hired to force me to sign the divorce papers now were all of a sudden my family. I mean give me a break, was I in the multiverse of madness or what?"Come on, pinch me a little I feel like am still stuck in an unending loop of bad dreams" I complained stretching my arm for that pinch and girl she didn't disappoint, "Ouch! That was way painful""Yes, for doubting if am real. How you doing buddy? You know you just came back and they hit you with all that family thing""They are delusional. All I have known is that orphanage why would they pull such a prank on me Anita? It's painful to give me such hope than to actually torture me"For a man used to being happy meeting everyone with a smile, they
It was not until late that evening that Blake's new family left his bed side. There were regards at the door and Anita was left to take care of him. The doctor had refused to let him go since he needed close watch over, but they took samples and three days maximum the results were going to be out. It was going to be known whether or not Blake was going to be the next Don of the red crescent. When the whole thing started he didn't care much about being related to them but after getting to know them he cared about the results. Not entirely but on a scale of one to ten let's say his level of care was a five.They bade him goodbye and now it was just him, the guards and Anita. Unlike his first stay at the hospital he was moved to a bigger room with a much bigger TV, and comfy leather couches lacquered coffee table, a bathroom with a modern hospital bed. It was also upstairs with a view of the park. Flowers and enough food and an additional personal nurse."So, there are these gu
TessaI kept running in the woods, my feet were bleeding from being pricked by thorns and twigs, my muscles felt the fatigue and the adrenaline rush I was surviving on was almost depleted and yet the faceless guy in a red flannel shirt and a pair of blue jeans dungarees was still running after me with an axe the size of my hand. Why he was chasing me? No idea and whether it was real or not still no idea but it felt so real, the sweat trickling down my neck lines, through my cleavage and belly.The problem is it seemed as if I was running on a treadmill and like the guys behind me and any second that axe was going to break my skull open and spill my brains all over the place. Tried to scream but again it didn't get anywhere, the wind swept my sound waves away, no help was coming so it was upon me to run as a fast as I could although my feet felt heavier, tired and swollen. Out of options, I tried to bribe him."Please I'll give you money!"What the Fuck was I thinking
Blake Fresh air from the windows replenished my lungs upon breathing in a couple of times, I took another long puff of air and smiled, opening my eyes to another new day. As usual, a chance to make better out of what we already have, and also hoping for more like a kind word from a loved one. I was in high spirits that morning, my wounds were healed and I felt strong, there was a feeling in my mind that something good was coming. And if fate could be controlled how I wished it was Tessa. This time if she would take me back, everything was going to be different, even the hate and disklike for Gerald Wallace was going to be out on hold for some time...yeah some time because he was a douchebag that deserved some suffering for what he had made me go through. I just realized that as much as I wanted Tessa back there was a chance the beef between me and Gerald was going to be lifelong. Anyway on the nearby Couch lying innocently like the angel she was, Anita. God, she
If there was someone who was not having a good morning was Gideon. The girl he was about to get engaged to in twenty-four hours was not talking to him. She was puffed up like a balloon and he seemed not to have the answers on what was causing those waves of bad attitude around her. It even made him go back to the events of the previous day, the guests he invited. Did he probably get cozy with them and she got jealous? It didn't make sense. In fact, their entire relationship didn't. Although they knew each other for the better part of their lives but less than a week back she was married... we're talking days here and they linked up once has sex and woke up feeling like they ought to get married.Which is okay. But the big question on his mind was, how long was it going to take before their massive egos collided? Her cold shoulder treatment made him question how quick it took them to settle for an engagement. Perhaps they should have taken some time to get to know each other bett
