At this time, Fortune's phone rang, she looked at the number reflected on the screen and thought it was Brandon so she ignored the call, few minutes later, the phone rang again and it was the same number, fortune picked up the phone feeling irritated "Brandon I told you to stay away from me, even if you call me using different numbers, I will still block them you hear me". "hey fortune it's Zack" fortune felt abashed, oh no how could she act in such a way "oh Zack it's you, sorry I didn't have your number". "don't worry about it, I don't blame you after all, I have never called you either ways" fortune smiled ok "and why have I been honored with this call if I may ask?". Zack smirked "well I called to ask if I am allowed to invite this lovely lady out for dinner tonight". fortune rolled her eyes "alright, what time exactly?"she asked "I will be there at exactly half past six". fortune had no problem with the time and besides, she felt like she needed to go out "I won't disappoint you, I will get ready before then" she hung up the phone call, looking at the time, it was already 4pm. She still had more than enough time so she relaxed and enjoyed the fruits she bought. Soon the doorbell rang and she heard Asia's voice from the other end, "fortune come on open up".
Damn it, I forgot to unlock the door, fortune scolded herself and went to open the door for her friend. "fortune why did you lock yourself up?" Asia asked "because of people like Brandon and Camilla who always want to find me and won't let me be". Fortune responded helplessly. "you mean both of them came here together?" Asia asked in astonishment "no, it was Camilla who came here earlier, then later when I went to the grocery store, I met Brandon. He even went as far as standing by the doorstep of our apartment so I had no choice but to face him". Asia was taken aback "what kind of games are they playing, and this cousin of yours, what was she doing here, don't tell me she was here to apologize right?" fortune shook her head "I didn't bother opening the door and from the way she was screaming and barking like a wild dog, I don't think she came with apology intentions". Fortune analysed. Asia chuckled "how was she barking like a wild dog?" Fortune smirked "you know before opening the door, I asked who it was, then I heard her violent scream asking me to open the door. I didn't want to start bickering with her so I chose not to open and she probably started ringing the doorbell continuously, knowing her character, I didn't want to entertain the noise she was making so I had to play music". Asia laughed "I'm sorry fortune, forgive my laughter, you have got alot of drama going on. don't worry about it,I'm sure you can handle it now" fortune rolled her eyes "stop making fun of me". Asia chuckled "alright,okay I won't tease you anymore". At this time in Chris office, Zack had a wide smile after the phone call he made to fortune. "Zack, so you really want to go after her don't you?" Zack smirked "don't tell me you are so damn that you can't see the hand writing on the wall, of course I'm going for her" Chris pondered for a few seconds "don't you think she needs time to get over her ex?" Zack nodded his head "well, I am giving her time by not directly telling her that I like her. I want her to know me for some time before I let my intentions known" Zack said confidently. "and what happens if your nemesis catches up with you, what happens if Nora comes back?"
Zack abruptly lifted his head and stared at his friend. "Nora is not my nemesis so don't make such jokes and besides, I have given up looking for her. I want to start my life afresh" Chris chuckled "my question here is very simple, don't try to divert the topic, if Nora comes back to you after you start your relationship with fortune, what will you do? who will you choose?" Chris gave his friend such an ultimatum "Chris, actually if there was any hope of Nora coming back, I wouldn't have been here chasing after fortune. For the past five years, I have been living in the hopes that I would find her or she would come back to me but all that was in vain" Zack made a facepalm gesture in frustration and exhaled deeply. Chris knew how his friend felt about this issue but he still had to talk about it "Zack, you do know that the moment you and fortune start your relationship, even if Nora comes back, it would be wrong to abandon" Zack interrupted Chris and said angrily "stop it! she'

How could this be, she hadn't heard the doorbell so how could he be in. "fortune you are finally here, at last," Zack said with a smile. "oh I'm sorry, just that I thought you weren't here yet so I took my time". fortune said in an embarrassed tone. Zack chuckled "it's alright don't worry I'm just messing with you, shall we go now?" Fortune nodded, looked at her friends sitting posture, and said, "Asia, we will be leaving now, take care". Asia nodded without shifting her gaze from her laptop. Zack behaved gentlemanly, he opened the passenger's door for her, helped to fasten her seat belt, got into the car, and drove out. As soon as they arrived, fortune knew this fancy restaurant very well, Brandon would bring her here once in a while. Zack chuckled, knowing Fortune's background, it would have been a natural reflex for her to look around but she just walked like everything was normal Zack guessed "your ex-boyfriend has brought you here before?" fortune was stunned and sm
Fortune and Zack instinctively looked at each other. Fortune hurriedly opened the door and rushed out with annoyance written all over her face. The drunk Brandon staggered while walking towards fortune, "hey my fortune you are finally here, i-i knew you would come out darling, you are so kind". Fortune was so angry "do you need a good beating to bring you back to reality?" Zack also walked over and stood beside fortune "oh, oh okay, i-i get it now. so h-his your n-new boyfriend right? wait, i t-think I have s-seen him somewhere" Brandon spoke drunkenly with red glossy eyes and stammering voice. Fortune wanted to respond but was stopped by Zack, "wait, it's no use reasoning with a drunk person""h-how dare you call me a-a d-drunkard! fortune, you c-chose him over me right?". This time Zack responded "she chose me over you so I hope you won't be a problem" Brandon was stunned and forgot that he was drunk "fortune is he telling t-the truth, please b-be honest with me"Fortune was
Fortune chuckled "Asia come over here I will explain everything to you". Asia walked to Fortune's side and sat beside her while fortune told her what she needed to know. "well ok I have heard, we better rest early then" fortune nodded and they went to their respective rooms.The next morning, fortune and Asia prepared themselves in advance while on the other side, Brandon woke up with a splitting headache. He couldn't even remember how he got home. Some vague pictures flashed through his mind, I went to see fortune, s-she has a boyfriend Brandon whispered beneath his voice. wait, he couldn't clearly remember the man's face or maybe all this was his imagination cause he couldn't remember clearly. He sighed deeply, anyways let me not think much about it.At exactly 11 am, Brandon and Zack arrived, picked up the girls, and left. On their way, they had to get a few things that they needed including swimsuits. coincidentally, fortune met Camilla and acted like she
"Are you crazy!! Brandon couldn't hold back his anger, he pointed at her with a trembling finger "I gave you so much money, now you are asking for more? two million! two million is what I gave you, do you think I'm a free bank that you can extort money from? get out!I don't have time to entertain middle-class hungry fools like you". Brandon lost all sense of reasoning. Camilla on the other hand was stunned and couldn't believe her ears. Brandon's reaction just now made her think she was in the wrong apartment, how could he talk this way. She recovered from her shock and responded "this middle-class hungry girl is the same girl you were enjoying some days back, today you have realized that I'm hungry?" Brandon gave her a black look "you are just a piece of shit, I said get out" he yelled so angrily that it scared Camilla away immediately.what just happened in there, how could Brandon behave this way and say all those things to me. she pondered as she went back to
The two men behind felt left out but still spoke to each other. As soon as they saw all the animals they could see, they headed in the direction of the parking lot, chatting and laughing. At this moment as they ambled toward the car park, fortune took a glimpse of the man coming in the opposite direction, she shook her head, no this can't be, it can't be him, she dropped her head, rubbed her eyes a few times, she thought she saw the wrong person. she raised her head again to look at the couple walking while holding hands and was shocked.It was him! it was Alex! oh my his more handsome than I remember him to be and looks happy with his girlfriend. She didn't want to stop to say hi or remind him of who she was cause it was obvious he didn't recognize her even after bypassing her side. she acted like everything was cool in the company of her friends. Fortune's mood just dropped a few degrees, why do I feel this way after seeing him with someone else? she didn't know why she felt th
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.
