Mr Shaw sighed deeply and pushed the door open. Mrs Shaw was a little startled and wondered if he had heard anything. "so this is the kind of life you want your daughter to lead?" Mrs Shaw didn't expect this, she was dumbstruck "I'm asking! you now let your daughter sell her body just for material things?"
"hey she's not selling her body, besides she's grown up now, there's no problem with her having a boyfriend who can take care of her" Mrs Shaw replied solemnly "after all, this could be the man to marry her". Mr Shaw laughed like he had heard the biggest joke of the day "Are you just trying to act stupid or you really are stupid? who told you that his going to marry her? did he tell you he would marry your daughter? what kind of a woman teaches her daughter such values? you are suppose to advise her not to do things that she's not suppose to do but instead, you tell her to enjoy herself and do everything possible to keep him, are you mad? do you want your daughter to get pregnant or something?" Mr Shaw lost it, he couldn't control his anger, this woman had crossed the line. Mrs Shaw finally spoke out with a sharp voice "let me tell you something Mr Shaw, my daughter has just shown us that she's more than capable of taking care of herself unlike her elder brother. you always want to be against our daughter all the time, no matter what you say, I will support her through out the way! she turned and walked out. Mr Shaw shook his head helplessly. Each time he spoke, he was being accused of being against his daughter, how can a father be against his own daughter, I am just trying to look out for her, her well-being, I love my daughter so much and I don't want her to ruin her life. he helplessly sat on the bed and made a facepalm gesture showing how frustrated he was.At this time, Fortune's father was running up and down trying to send his daughter money for her up keep. at least her tuition fee was paid for and the only thing remaining was her up keep money. It was like this every semester and he got used to it. He sent his daughter money as soon as he managed to raise the appropriate amount. Fortune who was chatting with Zack was suddenly interrupted by her phone, she saw that it was her dad and answered the phone with a smile"dad, how are you?"Mr Williams was overwhelmed upon hearing his daughter's voice, "I'm fine dear, how is everything that side?" "everything is ok dad, you don't have to worry about me" Mr Williams smiled "good, I called to tell you that I have deposited the money into your account, just check on the balance to make sure it's fine". Fortune smiled "thank you Dad, I love you so much" "ok darling, I will hung up now". the call got disconnected and fortune looked at Zack who was staring at her. "what's wrong? do I have something on my face?" fortune asked. Zack smiled without shifting his gaze "when you are staring at a rose flower, you can't look elsewhere, you will stay put and continue to admire it until you have the urge to pluck it"fortune chuckled, "what makes you say that?".Zack smiled "nothing, I'm just expressing myself, you are as beautiful and delicate as a rose". fortune smiled shyly and dropped her head. "fortune if I say I like you, would you give me a chance to be a part of your life?" Fortune never expected this, she stammered, "y-you l-like me?" Zack smiled "isn't it obvious enough that I like you? or maybe you are not yet over your ex and still need time". Fortune immediately shook her head "oh no, it's not that, I was caught off guard, I never thought you would like me". hmm Zack nodded " I see, well the truth is right in front of you, what response will you give?" Zack spoke straight forwardly " please allow me sleep over it?" fortune responded . Zack smiled and nodded "don't worry about anything, even if we are dating, I won't force you to do anything that you don't want to do, neither will I compel you into doing something you are not prepared for so don't think too much ". Fortune was stunned, this guy could read her thoughts so easily, she felt a little embarrassed and smiled awkwardly.Asia was still with Chris in the restaurant, they were literally having a chat, looking at the time, it was almost 1pm in the afternoon. She took out her phone and directly called the first number in her call log which was Fortune's number, at this time, fortune who felt a little awkward was saved by her phone, "yes Asia, watsup?" she answered casually "fortune it's lunch now, me and Chris were thinking of buying take away food packs for the four of us, what do you think?" fortune immediately agreed without hesitation, she had to admit that she felt weird the moment Zack expressed his feelings for her "yes sure, please do that". "hey fortune before you hung up, ask my brother if he has any special order" fortune looked at Zack who was playing games with his mobile phone"Zack, Asia is asking if you have any special orders for your lunch". Zack responded without lifting his head "I will have whatever you choose". "uhmm okay". "Asia, me and Zack will have rice with beef stew". "alright Mam, whatever you say" Asia responded and hung up. "that's your favorite meal?" Zack asked still concentrating on his game. Fortune smiled "yes" is all she said hoping Zack would lift his head and look at her. She even made sure to respond in a dry tone, just to get his attention but this guy completely ignored her. In the first place, why am I trying to get his attention she thought.He should be the one wooing me and trying to get my attention, not the other way round."hey Camilla, you are back already?" Ariana said as she walked into Camilla's room. When Camilla came in, she was changing her clothes so she never saw the huge shopping bags Camilla came in with. Seeing the unpacked shopping bags and the bed filled with clothes, Ariana was shocked. latest edition shoes, clothes oh my I don't believe this, she hastily walked to the bed were the clothes were laid and started admiring the outfits, picking one after another to have a closer look. "wow this dress is so nice, the shoes, the skirt, oh my this shirt is top-notch, these boots are so cute" Ariana commented on all the clothes on the bed "did you buy all these clothes yourself?"Ariana asked with some curiosity. Camilla giggled "Terry bought them for me"what! Terry bought all these clothes for her! these clothes were suppose to have been bought for me not her, why must it be her. She felt
Ariana looked at her friend with a surprised expression, oh my Camilla agreed just like that,but how, how? it was unbelievable for her. Knowing her friends character, she would have refused without hesitation, Ariana gave Camilla a big hug showing how happy she was"oh my Camilla you are the best, I will go prepare a set of clothes for myself" Ariana's excitement left Camilla a little baffled, this girl, why is she behaving so strangely like she was the one invited for dinner. Camilla shook her head, no I'm over thinking, maybe she's just excited about the food cause Ariana was a foodie type of a person who liked nice food alot, maybe she's excited about that, yes it must be the food, Camilla convinced herself as she walked to her room to have her beauty rest, it was only 2pm in the afternoon and Terry would be here at half past six so she had more than enough time. On the other hand, Ariana turned her room upside down looking for the best dress that would fit her p
wait, didn't this girl see how amazing I look, Ariana thought as she looked at herself, this girl never even bothered to complement me, does she think so highly of herself that she can't complement me..., Ariana started to doubt her looks."Camilla, let me go and fetch my phone, I will be back soon" Ariana turned and quickly rushed to her room without waiting for Camilla's response. She looked at herself in the mirror in all angles, went to her wardrobe and rampaged over her clothes again, she picked a short Versace dress,took off the dress she had and wore the dress she picked with short boots . At this moment, she heard the doorbell ring and knew it could be Terry, she hastily rushed out of her room to open the door before Camilla could open it. She opened the door and found the 1.8m tall man standing outside, she smiled brightly, "Terry, you are here". looking at this girls dress code, he knew she was going out. Terry walked in and sat on the couch "are you going out as well
"Oh, Terry come on, stop being naughty" Camilla said in a flirty tone. At this time, Terry and Camilla were having some drinks after finishing their dinner. Terry smiled seductively "Camilla, if I say that I loved you from the first day I set my eyes on you, would you believe me?" Camilla chuckled "you can't tell me it was love at first sight in a club of all places?" Terry smirked, "who said you can't find love in a club? I must say you are wrong if you think love can't be found in a club". Camilla was startled, remembering how she was dressed and the makeup yesterday.. is this guy trying to pull my leg, or is he being serious, Camilla stared at him blankly not knowing what to say or how to respond. "Camilla I really do love you, believe it or not, I love you" Camilla was still speechless, did this guy actually say "LOVE" did I hear it right, he said he loved me? if that's true, I must be the luckiest girl then. This guy was not only cute and nice but he was stinking rich! just loo
Terry was dumbstruck, did this girl just accept me, he stared blankly at Camilla with his eyes wide open in disbelief. Camilla smiled gently "I said I will be your woman" Terry hastily stood up from his seat, rushed to Camilla's side, and before he could stretch out his hand to her, he suddenly remembered something. He reached for his pocket, removed some dollar notes, and put them on the table to settle the bill of which he knew that the money he put on the table was more than enough to settle the bill, then grabbed Camilla by the arm and pulled her to her feet, and walked out of the restaurant, people looked at them in a little confusion cause Camilla was being dragged out by her arm, she didn't know what was happening, why did Terry suddenly drag her out like this, didn't he see how everyone was looking at them, what was wrong with him! is he out of his mind. The moment they stepped out of the restaurant, Camilla pulled out her hand from Terry with all her might, "what is wrong w
She didn't even know what time he came out, her eyes were closed and her mind was full of unanswered questions. Terry pulled Camilla who was as stiff as a dry log to his arms. come on Camilla just relax, why am I behaving like this. Camilla's heart beat so fast she felt Terry could hear her heart beat. "just relax, I won't do anything don't worry" Terry suddenly spoke in a deep voice. Camilla was stunned, how did he know I was awake, she relaxed, calmed herself down, Before she knew it, it was morning, Camilla sat up on the bed, rubbed her eyes a few times then looked at her left side and found that Terry wasn't in bed. She stretched out her hand, got her phone that was on the side table and looked at the time, it was 8 in the morning, she got out of bed in her pajamas and walked out of her room. The moment she got to the living room, there was an aroma of food that filled the air and smooth music being played, Camilla thought it was Ariana who was in the kitchen, she lazily w
At this time, Fortune and Asia went for class as usual. Everything was as it was on a daily basis. "hey fortune, will you and my cousin be a couple soon?" Asia suddenly asked. Fortune smiled "uhmm I must say your cousin is a good person unlike the sneaky and pretentious Brandon, I will give it a try". Asia smiled brightly "of course my brother is the best, non comparable to that hedonistic fool called Brandon, I believe you two will make a good couple" Asia spoke so proudly. Before Fortune could speak, the lecturer walked in and the lessons of the day began.In a quiet room, only Camilla's giggle could be heard "oh Terry you so funny" Camilla laughed out loudly. Ariana in her room could hear her laughter and shut her ears to try and avoid hearing the squeaky voice from Camilla. Does she have to rub her happiness in my face, I get it that you are happy, Ariana said beneath her voice, soon very soon, I will do something that will shock you Camilla. All that happiness will tur
You deserve the best just like anyone else out there. Remember my words all your life, know your worth and I'm gonna show you exactly what you are worth". Camilla's tears fell and she looked at the man in front of her "Terry do you really love me?" she asked in a chocking voice.Terry stood up and went in front of Camilla, he knelt, got her hand and gave her a gentle kiss "I love you just the way you you are. I love you for who you are, just you Camilla" she couldn't control herself, Camilla threw herself in Terry's arms and sobbed silently "I know it sounds crazy but I really do love you, I feel like I have known you for so many years. just believe me. and stop crying please" Terry sighed he wasn't good at comforting anyone. "I don't want you to change anything about yourself, just do what you like and live how you like to live".Camilla nodded her head vigorously as she wiped her tears "okok I understand" Terry smiled "good girl, aren't you suppose to go for class toda
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.
