I think he owns houses in various countries all over the world, the cars, goodness. Nora thought to herself in excitement. Zack could see right through Nora's thoughts, he chuckled while he stealthily crossed his legs. "Nora you really do have a wild imagination, don't you? keep dreaming because the only way you will ever get close to enjoying the kind of money I have is In your dreams". Nora dropped her head, she knew Zack was right. Meanwhile, Alex was having fun with a couple of girls in his room. " Baby I think you should answer your phone...it might be urgent" one of the girls said to Alex. "hmm ok let me check" Alex said as he grabbed his phone and looked at the name displayed on the screen.
"Fortune" he lazily threw his phone aside "it's not important, shall we continue?". Fortune on the other side felt helpless, She dialed Asia's number and the call soon connected "Fortune, sorry I was a little held up, what's up? you miss me?". Fortune on the other end chuckled "well yes, I miss you..when will you come back?". Asia on the other smiled " I will only come back when you open your eyes and see Alex for the pervert that he is". Fortune sighed helplessly "Asia please will you stop this drama? anyway, I am going to see my parents in city A, I will be there for some days". " When are you leaving?" Asia asked directly. "tomorrow" is all fortune said.
"well, I see..I will wait for you to come back.. Now take care of yourself and remember not to let anyone fool you. You don't have to chase your boyfriend around, You are fortune Williams, intelligent, graceful, and beautiful walk with your head held up high, don't let anyone break you down. Don't ask me why I am saying this. Just listen to me and always remember my words". Fortune sighed helplessly and just nodded " yes ma'am, I understand" fortune lazily responded. "Fortune heed to my words, I am being serious here" Asia reminded fortune who seemed not to be paying attention. "ok alright Asia I get it..stop lecturing me already". Asia on the other end rolled her eyes.
"Ok, take care of yourself and have a safe journey," Asia said then hung up. The next morning, Fortune left for city A, she couldn't wait to see her parents. She planned to give them both a surprise visit. She couldn't wait to see their shocked expressions. After hours of travel, fortune arrived in city A, looking at her watch, it was almost 5 pm, she quickly got a taxi that took her straight to her parent's villa. She rang the doorbell a few times then waited, after more than ten seconds, the door was pushed open, fortune quietly stood in her position and brightly smiled at her mother who seemed shocked "Ma, will you invite me inside or will you keep looking at me in a shocked state?" fortune suddenly asked. "oh my baby, my little girl, come to mum" Mrs. Williams said as she embraced fortune tightly.
"M-Ma you are squeezing me" fortune said as she tried to pull away from the hug. "oh oh I'm sorry my dear, please come in, how have you been? how did you suddenly show up here? you didn't tell mum that you were coming like you usually do...Is there something wrong?". Fortune smiled as she sat on the sofa beside her mother. " no mum, everything is fine, I just thought of giving you and Dad a surprise visit..by the way, where is Dad?" fortune asked as she looked around. At this moment, the door was pushed open and Mr. Williams walked in and was shocked to see his daughter seated on the sofa. "Dad, you are here" fortune quickly stood up and hugged her father "oh, oh I see my little girl now enjoys giving her parents surprise visits.
Or is it that your mother forgot to tell me you were coming?". Fortune giggled like a little girl "no she didn't tell me she was coming..as you said it, it was a surprise visit" Mrs Williams said with a smile. The family of three enjoyed their themselves and spent the few days together till fortune returned back to city B.
Meanwhile, Zack made sure that nora was sentenced and got the punishment she deserved. Nora's mother on the other hand was heartbroken. Finding out that her own daughter caused her husband's death, she was shattered. Zack also made sure that little Jasper was happy and living a comfortable life."Asia, I have been trying to call you since yesterday, why were you not answering my calls?" fortune asked with a little annoyance. "I am so so sorry fortune, sorry..I forgot my phone at Chris's office" Asia responded apologetically...."ok, ok it's fine, I am back now, just thought of letting you know". Asia on the other end smiled "Finally, I will come tomorrow, I can't come today cause there is something I am helping Chris with". Fortune nodded "ok, alright Asia, I will see you tomorrow, let me just check up on Alex, talk later," Fortune said then directly hung up. She prepared herself and went straight to Alex's small villa.
She rang the doorbell a few times before walking in. Alex sat on the sofa having a glass of wine as usual. Fortune just smiled and went to sit beside Alex. She stretched her arms in an attempt to hug Alex but he quickly pushed her arms away. Fortune was shocked and stared at Alex blankly "Alex, what's wrong? why did you do that? did I do something wrong? ok if that's the case, whatever wrong thing I did to you, I apologize for it..please let's not argue, you know I missed you so much" fortune said in a light voice. Alex chuckled "oh so now you don't know what you did? are you forgetting you left without informing me?
Yet you dare act like everything is fine and normal between us?" Alex said in anger. Fortune raised her brow, "Alex, is that why you are acting this way? I called you a couple of times before I left for city A but you didn't answer my calls, neither did you bother to call back..You only called me two days after" fortune retorted. "oh how pathetic fortune, is that the kind of excuse you decided to make up? why didn't you wait for me to call you before leaving?"
Fortune where you in such a hurry to see your parents? why not wait for me to call you instead of running off to city A?" Alex retorted. Fortune was shocked, she couldn't believe her ears "hey Alex, are you telling me that I should have waited for you to call me back before leaving for city A of which you only called me back two days later. Was I suppose to wait for two days before I could leave? or even four days? cause at times you can go for as long as two weeks without talking to me so did you really expect me to wait?" fortune said calmly. Alex indifferently waved his arm "stop making excuses for your mistakes, I am in no mood for any bickering...you were wrong so accept it". Fortune angrily stood up " Alex what is wrong with you? ever since I left, you only called me once, that was the day I told you I was in city A and since that time, you never bothered to call me back. What kind of a boyfriend are you? Alex, you give excuses for everything and now you want to make t
Fortune took a few steps away from the door then shook her head, no, this is my boyfriend's house, the people inside will have to forgive my manners but I must know why they are here and why they are doing this in someone else house. Fortune don't be a fool, this is Alex house and the man in this room is definitely Alex..No fortune, you know Alex would never betray you like this, the man in the room is not Alex but his friend so it would be rude to walk in on them like this. Fortune was having all sorts of thoughts, not knowing what to do exactly. She mastered up her courage and pushed the door open. "Hmm, baby, don't stop ahh Mmm please don't stop yeah ahhh" Kim moaned not noticing the door that was suddenly opened. Fortune at the door was utterly shocked, her knees felt weak and her soul felt like it had left her body. Looking at the man's back, fortune could tell that it was Alex. She started panting feeling as if she could strangle Alex on the neck. "Hey, you! Alex
"Ahhhh" Fortune screamed as if in pain as tears rolled down her face, she sobbed uncontrollably as if she had lost her soul. Her heart felt like it was being pinched. Meanwhile on the other side, Chris and Asia were busy looking through the details of the two hospitals that Zack established..."you know what Chris, I wonder how my brother managed to get such large amounts of money to build two hospitals, they are just not mare hospitals but they will be the biggest hospitals in city B..to add it all up, he has another hospital in city A which is now the biggest hospital. Chris, is there something I don't know about my brother? something that you are obviously not telling me". Chris smirked, "well your brother has a way of making things work out. He has a way of finding the money he needs..don't worry about all these things... focus on the work at hand so we can rest earlier". Asia pouted "but sweetheart we are only remaining with two documents to handle, why are you beh
Fortune felt detached and confused to the change in events. She blamed herself for trusting Alex and refusing to hear what others were telling her. she was absorbed by what happened such that she kept on asking herself why. All this while, fortune felt depressed due to Alex's actions. He ignored her, didn't care about her. Never called her or anything. Fortune felt like she could not go on. She abruptly stood up, no, I can't do this, I can't stand this pain. She went straight to the kitchen and grabbed a knife then went to the living room. She knew that she would never see the light of day again, she opened the door and went out just to feel the sunlight then went back in and sat on the sofa. Mum, Dad, I hope you forgive your children for their actions..I am sorry but I really can't do this anymore, I can't...I have been hiding my pain for some time now..always trying to smoothen the situation by giving excuses for Alex's actions...all because of love? must I sit back
Soon, Chris and asia arrived, they quickly called the nurses and pushed fortune into the emergency room with a stretcher. "Where is doctor jones? Get him here right now" Chris yelled. "S-Sir I'm here" doctor ones said as he slightly bowed his head. "Just go in there and save that woman, do everything in your power to save her or else you will lose your job, keep that in mind" Chris yelled again. The doctor was startled and quickly rushed into the emergency room. Asia took out her phone with trembling hands and called zack directly. Zack who was in a deep sleep was awakened by the sudden phone call"Asia what's wrong?"zack asked directly."B-Bro, i-i something happened to, to fortune" asia spoke between her sobs.Zack on the other end abruptly stood up from his bed. "talk Asia, stop talking in circles, talk! what happened to fortune? where is she?" zack asked in annoyance, he was anxious to know what was happening. "Brother, just come back as soon as you can, fortune i
Fortune I know you can hear me. Your parents can't withstand losing you in the same way they lost Lisa, do you know what that will do to them? They will think both of their daughters had serious mental conditions that needed to be tended to.They will feel like they failed as parents. Listen fortune, you know I think falling in love is a lovely thing, first, you get butterflies and the next thing, you have a mental illness, don't let these men confuse you...make sure you wake up, it's an order" Asia said then stood up and left."Come here let's get you something to drink in the cafeteria... Asia nodded and the two walked to the cafeteria.. Ten minutes later, they walked out, Asia laid her head on Chris's arm as they walked back where fortunes' room was. Alex who was talking to one of the nurses caught a glimpse of the two and was shocked. How could it be possible for that annoying girl to look so pale and pitiful? Did someone die? "Hey nurse, let me just say hi to my f
Chris looked at him and chuckled "I know exactly what you are thinking about...You think zacks real identity will be known to some people other than his friends and bodyguards, am I right?". Terry nodded with a smile " well it is what it is..zack has always wanted to keep his real identity unknown to others but this situation might force him to use his authority to cause havoc..All those stories that have been heard of about the underground king were all done by Zack himself. We all know how ruthless he can be when he is angered. I just hope Alex and his father are ready for the storm coming their way". Chris nodded his head slowly before he spoke, "but wait, I heard that Mr. Henderson has some connection with the uprising cartel...could that attract war?" Terry nodded his head "there is indeed a huge possibility. Zack has already ordered for the cancellation of all the projects involving Mr. Henderson so this whole thing has just started". Chris sighed helplessly " he
"If I hear you call fortune your girlfriend again, I will wipe out your entire family, you will watch all of them die, then I will kill you last, you hear me?" Zack said coldly..as he pierced through Alex with his gaze. "Were you not told by Ashley not to mess with fortune? Didn't Ashley warn you?" Zack spoke again. Alex was stunned, he vividly remembered the argument he had with Ashley because of fortune. But who is this man standing before me. "Who are you?" Alex asked. "Sterling, warrior, come out here and tell this worthless pervert who I am" Zack said in a loud voice. Sterling and warrior walked out from the dark. Alex quickly stood up and was on guard. Alex looked at warrior a few times and his jaw dropped upon recognizing him. He raised his hand and pointed at warrior as if seeing a ghost. "You..its you..i remember you were doing business on behalf of the king and you only work for the underground king so what are you doing with him?"Alex asked with a confused express
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.
