She decided to first drop a text message and send it to Asia just to let her know that she was on her way, then she jumped out of bed and rushed to the bathroom.
Fortune made it snappy and was soon done, she had no time to sit down and have breakfast with her family.Lisa just sat on the corner and watched Fortune who was in a hurry to leave... yesterday, I showed fortune Brandon's picture of which her reaction seemed rather odd to me and now she's in a hurry to go out, what could be running through her mind? Lisa began to ponder over this.Fortune didn't wait outside for long, she got on a taxi and soon arrived at the cafeteria. She looked at her watch and noticed that it was 9:20am, she leisurely walked into the cafe as if she was not running up and down. Asia sat not far from the window, it took a while before fortune could spot her. She walked to the table and made herself comfortable, she knew Asia was probably tired of waiting and would scold her."good mo"ok mom, I will go see her now" Fortune said as she walked out of the kitchen..she headed straight for Lisa's room and knocked before pushing the door open.She closed the door behind her and sat on the bed beside Lisa who was on her phone."fortune, you are here" Lisa said without lifting her head."Lisa, I need to talk to you, it's important" fortune said with a calm expression. Lisa raised her head and looked at fortune, she felt a little tense, Fortune's calm expression surprisingly made her feel anxious..she put her phone aside and waited for Fortune to speak."Lisa, I am very happy that you have found love, you probably feel like your life has a new meaning but I am afraid I have a problem. it's not because of your love but the person you fell in love with is my problem"Lisa was stunned, the person I fell in love with is the problem..."fortune, what do you mean? how is Brandon the problem here?"Fortune sighed "allow me elaborate...The gu
I still regret it and I just wish I could make things right with her, I realized how much I loved her when we broke up, it was too late for me" Brandon said as he helplessly shook his head."how exactly did you mess up things with her, what did you do?" Lisa asked directly."i-i...well I slept with the girl you showed me in the second picture, that's her..her cousin" Brandon said feeling ashamed of his actions.Lisa was stunned and got into deep thought.. so fortune was right all along, how could I even doubt her."but I later apologized and even begged her to forgive me, I didn't know how much I loved her till she left me... Lisa, remember I told you that I wanted us to start something serious although I wasn't fully over someone else, that person is fortune. I wanted her to stay with me, to be with me even though she didn't love me, I wanted to fall out of love for her but I just felt like I loved her more each and every day. You know temptation is like the dev
"Mom, let me check on Lisa" fortune said as she was about to stand up."no, listen to me first, tomorrow, you will be going back to school so please let's finish our conversation," Mrs. Williams said.Fortune nodded then sat back..she listened to her mom's advise, the type of talk mother's give to their daughter's before they leave on a journey or move to another city."Mom, it's not like I am going far, you know my school is about two hours drive from home...I will take care of myself. can I go now?" Fortune asked, she was a little worried about Lisa.Mrs. Williams just smiled and nodded.Fortune quickly stood up and went straight to Lisa's room and pushed the door open without knocking.She walked in then closed the door behind her..."Lisa, what's the matter? what's bothering you?" Fortune asked as she sat beside her sisterLisa who was curled up on the bed didn't move nor make any sound.. Fortune was the last person she wanted to talk to.Fortune sighe
She is Fortune's sister and Camilla's cousin..I can't.. I really can't be with Lisa but she keeps on calling and sending me threatening messages that she's going to kill herself if I don't take her back, in two hours time, I have to call her and tell her that I will get back with her. if not, she will kill herself... goodness what a mess! Brandon was in such a dilemma, he didn't know what to do.He looked at his watch it was only 8 pm..He quickly went outside, carrying along with him his car keys and phone then drove straight to Fortune's apartment..He rang the doorbell a few times before Fortune opened the door.She was shocked upon seeing Brandon at her door."Brandon, what are you doing here?" Fortune asked surprisingly.Brandon sighed softly "Fortune, I am not here to argue with you..I came here because I feel like it was necessary for me to do so".Fortune raised her eyebrow then motioned for Brandon to come in and offered him a seat."yes Brandon, tell me wha
At this hour, you know there is nothing we can do but wait unless i call Zack or Chris to take us at your place cause my driver has been out for some days now" Asia suggested.Fortune shook her head.."no Asia, let's sort it out tomorrow..I don't want to bother so many people because of Lisa's stupidity.She was always given everything, she lacked nothing.if she liked something that belonged to me, I would give it to her. Now she's grown, it doesn't mean she can have everything she wants.It's not always that we can get everything we want,at times the situations or circumstances that come our way change things for us.She has to learn and understand that...she even dares to play around with her own life by giving herself two hours, isn't it pathetic?I just didn't know that spoiling my sister would turn her into such a human being. So greedy and selfish"fortune said as she shook her head disappointingly."Fortune, it's alright, come on
Fortune abruptly raised her head and looked at Zack..this guy dares to use such words? it's a matter of someone's life and all he can say is that it's not the end of the world?"Fortune, before you say that I'm being insensitive, allow me to ask a few questions.if I die, will it be the end of the world for you? or if Asia dies, will it be the end of the world for you? will you also kill yourself if Asia suddenly dies?"Fortune dropped her head, no matter how hard Zack's words are, he is right.. She silently shook her head."Now come on, let me take you home and remember what I said, whatever the outcome, accept it..I am not stopping you from crying, but remember to accept it"Zack said softly.He stood at Fortune's door and waited for her to finish .. according to what Asia said, Fortune's Mom called to tell her that her sister was no more..He knew that Fortune was finding it difficult to believe what was happening so he felt it was necessary to tell her to
Yes, I know you must be shocked but it's me Nora,I am back in the city, can we meet?"Zack was stunned, he couldn't respond, he felt like there was no air in the room, as if he was suffocating...his phone slipped off his hand and fell.Fortune who sat beside him was a little confused by Zack's change in behavior, she looked at the phone that fell then looked at the confused man beside her.She had never seen him like this before."Zack, why do you look like you just received bad news, did something happen?Zack was mute as if he could no longer speak nor hear,he completely froze as he pondered on alot of things at the same time..Nora is back, but why has she suddenly come back? after all these years? could she have any motive in coming back?"Zack, what is wrong with you?" fortune raised her voice a few decibels just to get his attention.Zack shook his head and snapped out of his deep thoughts..his forehead was slightly sweaty.He q
Nora felt her heart strings tightened, Zack..it has been over four years since I last saw him, he looks more handsome than I remember him to be and he exudes a mature temperament that would get any girl attracted to him."Are you going to close the door or will you keep standing there motionlessly?"Zack said as he stood by the side and waited for Nora to close the door.Nora snapped out of her daze and quickly closed the door then turned to look at Zack who was standing in front of her."I must say you haven't changed much Nora. how have you been through out the years?"Nora smiled, "Zack, as you can see, I am well and good. How have you been yourself?""the same, as you can see, I have been well.. Now tell me something, how did you manage to come here? did your father allow you to come? I mean as far as I remember, your father was always on your back because he never accepted me and never wanted us together. He made sure
The call got disconnected and fortune was all over Zack. "Come on Zack did you have to say that, do you want to make my relationship with my dad awkward? Come on don't be so mea "At this moment, the back door of the car was suddenly opened, Zack and fortune simultaneously looked at who opened the door and saw Asia carefully sitting inside the car."Fortune, you have already tied your life to this big bully, you need to get used to it" Asia said in a mocking tone. Fortune and Asia enjoyed the ride while Zack drove to a restaurant not far from the main villa where they lived. The three had their lunch and went back.Ashley sat in his room, he was in such deep thought that he didn't hear the door being opened. "Ashley, do you have a few minutes to spare?" Asia asked politely. Ashley didn't respond or look at her, Asia raised her brow and looked at Ashley, she noticed he was in deep thought."Ashley,
Asia sat in her room in deep thought. She sighed heavily then stood up and grabbed her bag then walked out. She asked one of the driver's outside to prepare the car and sat in the back seat of the car. "Ma'am, where am I taking you?" The driver asked respectfully."Hunter's view cemetery " Asia responded lazily. The driver nodded then drove out... ashley stood near the window and looked at the car that drove out, he sighed helplessly and questioned if he was doing the right thing. He knew that Asia would probably never love him cause she had always loved Chris. What will be left of md if she doesn't fall for me? I probably will never have a child in my life cause she will never allow me touch her, but what kind of a life will that be? Am I subjecting my life to some sort of self imprisonment because of love? Ashley shook his head...no, why am I thinking this way? I can't turn back on my decision, I must
Zack just nodded, he had no other words to say, No answers to give as to why all this happened. Mr Jacobs turned and walked out leaving zack in the ward. A few hours slowly went by , zack was still in the ward, he tried to sleep a couple of times but couldn't. "Chris, don't go, you can't leave me, please come back. If..if you leave, what's there for me to live for? OK fine...fine, if you want to leave, I will come with you. I...I will come with you, wait for me, Chris! I said wait for me, don't leave me please. I need you, don't go" Asia said in her sleep as tears flowed down her face. Zack was taken aback by this, it was obvious this dream felt real for her. He walked up to Asia's bed side and patted her on the cheek. "Asia, wake up, it's just a dream, wake up! Come on wake up""No, Chris come back, come back to me""Asia wake up! Zack said in a loud voice.Asia opened her eyes, she sat u
Asia felt like her world was coming to an end, everything around her began to spin uncontrollably until everything suddenly became dark. Asia passed out at this moment, "doctor, hey nurse. Take her to the ward, let her rest. Give her something that will help her rest" zack instructed the nurses around then sat on a corner in deep thought. At this moment, he didn't even what he was thinking of. Fortune wiped her tears then walked up to zack's side. She sat beside him and threw herself in his arms , a hug is all she could do right now to comfort him. Fortune thought about Asia's state and shivered upon thinking of the scene earlier. Exactly how will Asia manage without Chris in her life. Half of her life has been about him, she has loved him for so many years and now, he is gone. Zack held fortune in his arms as he blankly stared at the wall in the opposite direction. Chris father was comforting his wife, he looked at
At this moment there was a loud roar of thunder and it soon began to rain...with the wind and lightening, Zack felt even worse by the sudden storm. He felt like the whole world was closing in on him. He had never felt this helpless before , the pain was suffocating him , no air conditioning was enough to make the sweat off his forehead stop. He had no idea on how to console Asia or what words to use... Or find something to say that could make her feel better. Zack paced back and forth thinking of what he would do next. Kevin is dead, Alex was also dead, what else could he do in the name of revenge? This feeling was something he had never felt before, he suddenly screamed with all his might then fell to the ground again, panting and sweating. "Zack you need to calm down, it's not like Chris is dead so just..."Only a miracle can save him at this moment" Zack interrupted absent mindedly. Terry was stunned, could it be that the situation is this bad?
Asia smiled at her father and they slowly walked in. Fortune and camilla went in last and sat at the back . Asia felt a little nervous but with her father beside her, she felt relieved."Chris, I give my daughter to you, my only daughter. Love her, take care of her as a wife, respect her and always make her happy" Asia's father said this with so much emotions, he stepped back and motioned for the priest to begin the ceremony. Kevin who was in the crowd signaled for Alex to get ready, he was not willing to wait for Chris and Asia to be pronounced husband and wife....At this moment, Kevin and Alex both stood to their feet, Ashley who was a little absent minded noticed this action and subconsciously yelled in a loud voice "Asia get down". Chris reacted before the bullet could reach Asia,he stood in front of Asia like a shield, receiving the bullets being shot at him. The church hall was in chaos as everyone lay on the floor screaming
"Zack come on, must you mock me on my wedding day? Give me a break man, what's wrong with you?""Ok fine, listen here, stop worrying about this little bow tie and pay heed to my words. I am advising you as a friend, women can be a little funny at times, you need to treat your wife with extra care, get her some roses on your way back home..at least do it frequently. I learned this on the internet, it's another way to avoid too much nagging. So if you want less nagging, get her rose flowers on your way back home, get her chocolate or ice cream as well, you know how much she likes such irritating foods.And advising you as a brother in law, don't you dare hurt my little sister, or else I will forget about our friendship and skin you alive"Chris sighed helplessly without knowing what to say."Terry, organize a few of your men, just for security purposes. Kevin wouldn't try to make any funny moves, at least that's what I think" Zack said in a firm voice."Ok a
Fortune pouted her lips, "Zack, stop playing around here, I am serious. I want to ask you a question and I need you to answer me honestly"Zack nodded to fortune then closed his laptop and gave his attention to her.Asia looked at the two and thought it would be inappropriate for her to stay.She stood up and fixed her clothes then cleared her throat just to , get their attention. "I will leave you two so you can catch up. Fortune, remember my wedding will be soon and I have yet to make a decision concerning my wedding dress. I will need your help so don't give so much of your time on my brother, please. I am the one who needs attention. My brother is fine and healthy as you can see. So please, I hope you keep my words in mind. Your best friend needs you now more than ever" Asia said mockingly and winked at Zack before she turned."You say that you need her now more than ever, are you going to marry her? She must spend most of her time with the ma
Fortune giggled and quickly left the ward. Natasha was taken aback by the interaction between the two and was immersed in jealousy. What does this girl have that I don't have? Why does every man want her? I know fortune is a beauty but I am equally beautiful. I was hoping I could get close to this patient but this silly girl seems to move faster than me. But wait, it seems the two knew each other before now. Anyways it doesn't matter, I need this handsome guy, he must be mine. After all, it's obvious Ken doesn't want me, I lost interest in him the day I saw Zack so why should I waste my time on ken? Natasha was deeply immersed in her own thoughts, forgetting about Zack."Is this how you work?" Zack spoke in a deep voice which startled Natasha."Oh sir, I am sorry about that. Let me quickly check on your wound, we need to make sure there isn't any infection" Natasha spoke in a soft voice.Zack didn't say anything, he let Natasha check on his wound until she was done.
