Chris nodded "yes, life is too short to be wasted on useless things so I will cherish every moment". Zack concentrated on his work and ignored his friend. Chris smirked and knew what zack was thinking about. "hey, how are things going with fortune? Is there any difference?"
Zack raised his head and looked at Chris for a few seconds before he responded"Women are the most difficult and complicated beings, I don't know what to think of fortune anymore...if she is not ready and continues to adhere to her words of saying she isn't ready, I will let her be and marry someone else. I need to move on..I feel like I have waited for more than I should have, it's absurd, I mean I can't be a slave to my past. If fortune is meant to be my past, then I will accept it. If she gives me the same answer, I will leave and never look her way again"Chris sighed helplessly, he knew he couldn't do anything to help because these were issues of the heart. "Have you triedFortune decided to go on with the same answer just in case Zack started with the love talk. She rubbed her hair as if frustrated...fortune come on, why are you thinking about all these things? He didn't say he wanted to talk about love so why am I thinking about it? Goodness!! My mind is such a mess! Stupid thoughts!!Fortune scolded herself. At this moment, fortune heard the doorbell, she took a deep breath in then exhaled heavily. She stood up and walked to the door, then turned the doorknob. Zack stood outside with a playful expression, having one hand in his trouser pocket. "Ready?" Zack asked directly. Fortune smiled and nodded without saying a word. The two got into the car, fortune being in the passenger seat while Zack sat at the driver's seat and drove to a restaurant where he organized everything. They both walked into the restaurant upon arrival and settled at their table. Fortune looked around and noticed that they were only waiters and waitresses around. "Hey Zack,
Zack spoke in a firm and deep voice... Fortune was stunned by his words, she wiped the sweat off her forehead and gulped down her saliva. "Z-Zack I am still not ready for anything, i-i mean just give me some time, this came to me....." you can drive back home, I will take a taxi" Zack interrupted fortunes words, dropped his car keys on the table, and walked away. Fortune was utterly shocked by Zacks actions. Before she could react, Zack had already left. She grabbed the keys and her purse then ran out of the restaurant. She looked around but didn't see Zack anyone."Ohh fortune, you are here, how are you? I didn't expect to see you here" Alex spoke as he slowly approached fortune. Alex raised his brow upon seeing Fortune's attitude towards him.She behaved as if she didn't see or hear him. Alex reached beside fortune and patted her on the shoulder. "Hey, who are you looking for? There is no one here except from the two of us"Fortune brushed off Alex's hand
The five men on board slightly bowed their heads. "And did you tell our informant to give Nora heads up?""Yes sir" One of the men answered.Meanwhile, fortune drove to Zacks villa and got out before she could stop the cars engine. She ran out of the car, went straight to the door, and rang the doorbell a few times. She waited for a few seconds and rang the doorbell again. Fortune was not patient at this moment, she only wanted to see Zack and what to tell him, she didn't know yet. She hurriedly turned the doorknob upon seeing that there was no response but realized it was locked. Fortune sighed helplessly and walked back to the car and drove out. She wondered why the guards never questioned her but immediately shook off the thought. Her main concern was to see Zack.Fortune stepped on the gas pedal and drove out of the villa at the fastest speed. She went straight to her apartment and decided to try calling Zack. "Hey, fortune! Come see the wedding dress I chose hurr
"Zack, where have you been? We...Before Asia could finish her statement, Zack leaned on Asia powerlessly. The two girls could smell the alcohol on Zack and knew he was drunk. "Help me take him to my room, he will spend the night there," Asia said to fortune who was still a little shocked. Fortune abruptly nodded and helped Asia. After putting Zack on her bed, Asia took out her phone and called Chris.... "Darling, please come pick me up, I will spend the night at your place today, something just came up"Chris on the other side "just give me 30 minutes" Chris responded.Asia hung up then turned to Zack. She looked at his feet and attempted to remove his shoes, she was taken aback upon seeing that his shoes had been taken off. She sighed and walked out of the room without covering Zack with a quilt. It was 19° warm, asia knew there was no need to cover him up. She went to the living room and found her friend curled u on the sofa like a ball. Asia didn't want to talk to
Alex smirked, this is exactly what he wanted to see, The anger and resentment in her eyes. "Anyway, we will arrive in a few hours from now, I don't know if you would like to execute your plan as soon as you arrive or you would want to wait for some time" Alex asked with a raised brow."As soon as possible, I want it done. I can't stand this..Zack is heartless, now I will show him what real wickedness is" Nora said as she made a fist, digging her nails into her palms flesh. Alex looked at Nora's actions and secretly smirked."Alright then" is all Alex said. After a few more hours of flying, they arrived, Nora requested for a phone and began to ask a few questions to the man who Alex had put in charge to keep a watch on Zack and fortune. "Tell me where fortune lives, works, and give me her contact number, do the same for Zack" Nora ordered. Alex raised his brow "why are you asking him about fortune? I brought him here so he could tell you about Zack, not fortune" Ale
And to think you could execute that plan to kill me, that's absurd. As I said, stay far away from me and everything that concerns me" Zack said directly then hung up. Nora was fuming with anger. All this was because of fortune. She looked at the car ahead and felt like colliding with it. She called Zack again and the call soon connected "Nora did you or did you not understand what..." Zack cut your drama, since you have chosen to act stubborn, I will get my revenge against you by making you feel what real heartache is. The third person you allowed to come into our lives will be out of our lives forever and no one can save her" Nora said then hung up without giving Zack the chance to retort."Warrior, in less than five minutes, find out where fortune is and make sure the road she will be using is congested with cars.. I need something that can slow her down a little" Zack immediately hung up after saying these words and grabbed his motorcycle keys. Chris just stood up an
Chris looked at fortune who was still seated on the floor and silently shook his head. Why is Zack treating this girl like this? His injuries are not serious and I am sure he is pretending to pass out. I know he is bleeding profusely but that gunshot wound is not enough to keep Zack down. Besides, he had a bulletproof suit inside so he has no major injuries. He is such a big baby. Only trying to get attention.Chris walked up to fortunes side and helped her stand to her feet. "Come on, let's wait for Zack inside. Fortune nodded and took a few steps then helplessly fell to the ground. "Hey, fortune, fortune" Chris called out but fortune was out. He carried her and took her inside the hospital and called one of the doctors to check up on her while they took fortune in one of the rooms on a stretcher. Chris comfortably sat on one of the chairs on the passage and started playing video games.After some time, the doctor walked out of fortunes room and walked up to Chris
"A simple task is what I gave you in exchange for your freedom but you went and did the opposite. What if fortune got hurt? Do you think I would have spared you?! I must say that luck is by your side cause the main target got hit. It's only sad that I can't get proper information from that hospital concerning Zack. I hope he never lives to see the light of tomorrow" Alex said as he roughly pinched Nora's chin, making her look at him. "Am I right Nora?".Alex looked at Nora with murderous intent.Nora felt a chill go down her spine as she subconsciously nodded her head in agreement. Alex took back his hand and walked to the window. " you have done your part, now I have no business with you. That's what you get for not doing your part. I am leaving now, you will find your way out if you wish to" Alex said then turned and to leave."Wait, you can't just leave like that, you need to give me something that will help me. I kept the end of the deal by shooting Za
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.
