Looking at his time, the doctor told him that she would be awake in two hours time. it had only been 30 minutes. He suddenly heard a phone's vibration and looked in the direction of the bag, Ashley remembered throwing her phone in her bag so it must be the phone ringing. He rushed over, rampaged over the things in her small bag, found her phone and answered it directly "fortune why have you taken so long to answer and where are you? Chris is here with me and we plan to have dinner outside so hurry up". "excuse me, I'm sorry this is Ashley speaking", wait, wasn't this not Fortune's number, Asia looked at her phone again, yes it's Fortune's number "Ashley from where? what are you doing with my friends phone?" Asia had a bad premonition "I accidentally hit her so I brought her to the hospital but it's nothing to worry about". "how dare you hit my friend and say it's nothing to worry about, which hospital and what's the ward number I'm coming there right away". Chris who was listening at the side looked at his worried girlfriend and patted her on the back to comfort her. Ashley gave all the details to Asia, as soon as she got the information, she hung up impatiently and turned to Chris "hurry we have to rush up to the hospital immediately, fortune got hit by a car please hurry and drive me there". Chris already guessed the situation and drove Asia to the hospital, she got out and ran straight to the ward number she was given. She rushed into the ward and saw her friend sleeping peacefully on the small bed and looked fiercely at Ashley "you, tell me how do you drive so carelessly huh? you even dared to tell me that it was nothing to worry about just look at my friend's state now"
Ashley sighed deeply, "I'm guilty of this so I will say I'm really sorry, the doctor said she had no internal injuries but suffered some physical injuries and a few bruises but will be fine in a week or two as long as she takes rest" Ashley said. At this moment, Chris who had been standing behind Asia asked, "when will she be discharged?". "she will be discharged after 24hours. she's under observation and more tests have to be done to make sure she's really fine and I assume she would be awake in two hours time ". Ashley explained patiently and was very calm. Asia sighed and felt a little relieved, she remembered Brandon, she hadn't seen or heard fortune mention him for days. " did Fortune receive any other call apart from mine?" Asia thought of asking and felt it was rather odd that Brandon was quiet. "no, you are the only person who called, you can have a look". Ashley handed over Fortune's phone to Asia who in turn looked at Fortune's contact and found that she hadn't spoken to Brandon for some days now. She was in a dilemma and didn't know if she must inform Brandon or not. Seeing that they hadn't spoken for days, she decided not to inform him either. One hour later, fortune slowly opened her eyes, she studied the surrounding and was a little confused. Asia ran up to her side and asked "fortune are you ok? do you feel any pain?" fortune remembered the accident earlier and asked "am I in the hospital?". "yes, you are in the hospital, Asia pointed at Ashley and said, he is the man who hit you with his car". Fortune looked at the man standing not far "sir I'm sorry for putting you through all this trouble, I was a little absent minded when I tried to cross the road and didn't check for any incoming cars before crossing".
Despite the criticism he got from Asia earlier, Ashley didn't get agitated. He smiled and said "well accidents do happen and I should have been more careful myself so it's not entirely your fault". Fortune smiled and nodded "do you feel any pain" Asia asked "I do but it's not something I can't handle" upon hearing her friends words, she looked at Ashley and said "please get the attending doctor to come over She needs to be checked". Ashley went out and called for the doctor. fortune was asked were she felt pain as well as a few more questions, the doctor confirmed that it was not serious. He told her she needed bed rest for a week or two for quicker recovery. At this moment, Brandon was busy rolling over the sheets with Camilla and was enjoying this wild type of intimacy they were having, after a couple of rounds, they stopped. "hey will you tell that stupid girl that you are done or you want me to do it for you?" Camilla asked. Brandon thought of the innocent girl that he had been
Fortune was at a loss for words. Asia walked out of her room with a piece of paper that had a list of the things needed. " you hit my friend when she was on her way to get these groceries and because of you running her over, she couldn't get them so you have to get them and you better not leave out anything" Asia spoke in a commanding tone. Ashley sighed and nodded, he just had to do it even though he has never bought groceries in his life, at least he had the list on a paper which would make things a little easier. He took the paper and walked out. Asia chuckled and looked at her friend, "I hope he doesn't run away". "You can be troublesome at times, why bother the young man like that". Asia just laughed and knew she had gone a little too far but still, he run over her friend so he had to be nice, what if it had been a serious accident,what if her friend died on the spot. oh no she couldn't let it go just like that. "Fortune what's happening between you and Brandon, did you argue?"
"Having an intimate relationship with someone now is not what I want, I am only in my second year and still have a long way to go, if he understood me then this wouldn't have happened" Fortune analysed everything in her point of view. "come on girl don't worry about all this, I support you fully, it's not all the time that we should do things we don't want to do for others especially if it's for the other person's selfish desires, don't". fortune sighed "well let's forget about all these things, I will have a talk with him and clear things up when I get better". Meanwhile, at this time Camilla was thinking of how she would lure her cousin to Brandon's apartment so that she could see the scene of her in Brandon's arms. She smirked and knew exactly what to do. The next day which was a Monday, Asia had to go for class alone but before she left, she prepared breakfast for her friend, At lunch, Asia bought a takeaway pack of food for herself and fortune then quickly walked back to
Camilla prepared everything before hand, she made sure to leave the bedroom door slightly open then played some music loud enough for her and Brandon not to hear the doorbell ring. knowing that silly girls character, she is definitely going to come and ring the doorbell. She also made sure the entrance door at the apartment was not locked and slightly closed it making it easy for anyone to just push open the door. They went for a round and this stupid girl hadn't arrived yet, damn it, I hope my plan works out. She saw that it was almost 7pm, she and Brandon continued to roll the sheets. Fortune and Asia at this time found a cab to quickly drive them to Brandon's apartment which was less than a ten minutes drive. They arrived and fortune rang the doorbell, just as Camilla had predicted. She rang the doorbell several times but no one opened. fortune looked at her friend and said "maybe his gone out, let's go back". " fortune we didn't come all the way just to go back like this? beside
You have always looked down on me and think I'm inferior to you. let me tell you that you dream, you dare to make yourself look good in a broken mirror and think you are something? I had an atom of respect left for you as a cousin but seeing how low you degraded yourself, I'm ashamed to tell anyone that we are related. You knew very well that Brandon was my boyfriend, you knew it. This low level character of yours is inadmissible, I don't expect much from a person like you" Fortune finally poured out all the words she had been holding back. "Brandon, whenever you see me either in school or outside school, let's act like strangers, I have never met you, you have never known or spoken to me and ignore me as plain air, I will do the same, that includes you Camilla" a burst of gun powder was filled in the air and Camilla raised her voice by few decibels"you stinky girl how dare you! Camilla was so angry that she felt like her heart was on fire. She strode towards fortune lik
After dinner, they went to their respective rooms, Asia knew that fortune was not the type to seek self pity so she decided to give her space. Asia knew her friend was hurt, after all, she had been with Brandon for almost a year now so it was normal. Fortune in her room was on her bed, researching for some information she needed . Her phone beeped indicating that she had received a new message, she looked at the message, it was from an unknown number, who could it be. Fortune directly called the number. "hello" a male deep voice was heard from the other end. "hmm sorry but who am I speaking to? I just received your message few seconds ago" . "so you don't remember my voice even after calling?" fortune was a little lost, who could this person be, "alright, you are speaking to Ashley". "oh sorry I actually didn't have your number" fortune remembered the day when Asia asked him to get the groceries." I'm sorry about my friend, she was just upset that you hit me with your car and by the
"Well,well if it isn't our one and only Mr Jacobs" Zack said as he entered Chris office. Chris never bothered to shift his gaze from the document in his hands. Zack felt displeased, "why do I feel like your behavior towards me is a little patronizing? is it because you are now the CEO of this company?" Chris slowly looked at this big headed friend of his "well, I am the CEO after all, what do you expect me to do? naturally I'm superior to everyone around here of course I mean in my company, not you". Chris said with a wide smile filled with mockery. Zack sneered "I never knew you were such an egocentric person, I wouldn't have allowed Asia get close to you". "come on, don't be such a coward as to use my future wife to be as an indirect threat". "so now you remembered that I'm your brother-in-law right?" indeed Zack knew Chris weakness and used it against him. suddenly there was a knock, "come in" Chris said in a deep voice. A young girl in her early twenties who looked about 22-23 y
Zack surprisingly chose to ignore him like he hadn't heard anything and started to play games on his mobile phone. " for this good advise you have given me, I will also repay you with good news" Chris said while paying attention to his friend, Zack still ignored him and chose not to shift his gaze from the game and continued playing with so much concentration. "it's about fortune" Zack abruptly lifted his head and looked at Chris who kept on swinging his chair lazily. "spit it out you fool and tell me now" Zack became a little impatient cause he knew that his friend would purposely make him curious by taking his time. "Chris my favorite aunt and uncle will ask for my opinion before they can accept to give their precious daughter to you, if I tell them you aren't good, they won't hesitate to kick you out so you better start talking". Zack had to threaten his friend to get him to talk quickly. "fine, the thing is that fortune broke up with her boyfriend because she found him and
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.
