It was almost dawn and Christain hadn't had any sleep. He had been searching for his fiancee with the help of his father and bodyguards, his eyes had many eye bags in them but he only wanted to find his fiancee. They were presently searching the area close to the market where he had last spoken to her for the tenth time. "Miriam?""Miriam?" He yelled but got no reply.Christian couldn't help it as his eyes screeched as he burst out into cracks. "Son, are you okay?" His father asked putting a hand on his shoulders to calm him down but Christain chose that opportunity to bend his gaze down as his sob grew harder. "Take it, easy son. Nothing bad has happened to your fiance, she might have gone to a girl's night or something." His father said. "No, nooo father," Christian said, holding his hands in a fist. "I was on the phone with her when she began to scream for help but I did nothing, what would become of me If something bad happened to Miriam? Father, please help me find her, I wo
"Take back what you have just said." Christian let out furiously. "No! Miriam didn't deserve this," Eleanor wept. "I'm sorry but she was covered in bruises and right now she is in a critical condition, she had to get treated instantly to prevent her from getting an infection." Romeo let out."Shut your mouth asshole or I would do that for you. Miriam was never raped," Christian let out aggressively as he aimed to grab Romeo by his collar but his father and the guards were quick to hold him back. "Son, you have to stay calm. We are at the hospital and you are creating an unnecessary scene." His father let out before turning to apologize to the number of people gazing at them. "Father you heard what he said, Miriam didn't warrant any of this. I want to see her father," Christain let out disheartenedly. "I'm sorry but she is in a critical condition so you can't go in. We promise to keep investigating until we find the nicumpos that had done this to your fiance," Romeo made known. "Mir
"You should understand, son. That girl would only ruin our family and its business." His mother let out. She looked like she was thwarted by her son's tenacious behavior. "You have never for once liked Miriam for me and to think I'm beginning to think you may have had a hand in her incident makes a whole lot of sense mother." Christian let out. "I may not like her for you but I am not that heartless son." His mother let out. "Miriam is in the hospital after a bad experience and you expect me to just break up with her because of the family business?" Christian asked, still stunned at his mother's words. "I don't care if you support us any longer mother but I still love Miriam, she is still the one my heart yearned for." Christian let out before walking out of the house but bumped into Lara. "Christian_" she tried to say but he was quick to cut her short. "Not now Lara," he let out. "I'm not here to try to get you for myself Christain or pick a fight with you. I'm a woman and I u
Christian couldn't keep up in Miriam's hospital room any longer. He stepped outside the building of the hospital to cool off, he walked to a narrow corner close to a wall as he began to punch hard at the wall. His eyes were red and darkened with anger, Christian felt more useless when he recalled Miriam saying she called for him but he wasn't there to save her. He was going to throw another punch when his father held him back. "Stop that son, you know for sure that doing this wouldn't prevent what has already been perpetrated. Right?" His father said but he only wept harder. "Doing this makes me feel less guilty father," Christain let out. "You should be by Miriam's side now that she needs you but staying here and causing more damage to your hands would only make her worry more." His father let out as Romeo and his men trudged toward them. "I should leave. I would keep you updated if I find any suitable news regarding Miriam's case." Romeo let out. "Alright, thank you." They said
It was late evening, the cloud had gone to sleep leaving the moon to cast its glimmer. Christain had just arrived at their mansion with Miriam and her sister Eleanor. "Christian, I still don't think this is a good idea. Your parents might greatly be against this," Miriam let out worriedly."You are my Fiancee Miriam, why would they not understand that I want you to live here for your safety? You have been through a bad experience and they are here to support you." Christian let out. "But Christian don't you think we are going to be freeloaders in your house without paying rent?" Miriam asked. "Just trust me Miriam, everything will be just fine. Follow me in." Christina let out. "What the hell is this, can you imagine? If they think they can use my son Christain to get what they want! No fucking way. Over my beautiful dead body." Monica let out perplexed "Monica, is everything okay, I heard you screaming at the top of your voice." Robert let out from the stairs before trudging towa
Miriam and her sister Eleanor have been sitting in the doctor's office patiently waiting for the test result. The tension in the room was apparent, Eleanor held her sister's hand before giving it a gentle squeeze. "Don't worry Miriam, everything would be fine." Eleanor let out making Miriam stare at her tummy. "Thank you so much for sticking by my side," Miriam let out a bit shakily."Of course, I would always be here for you." Eleanor let out with a fragile smile."You know Eleanor, I'm troubled and uneasy because I don't want to guess that I would be carrying a stranger's baby." Miriam let out. "Don't think too much about it or you might start having stupid thoughts." Eleanor let out as the door flickered open showing the doctor who trudged inside holding a paper in her grip. "Doctor, is everything okay?" Miriam asked frightened about what the doctor might say. "Yes, everything is fine. you don't have to worry about a single thing," The doctor let out with a smile that made Miriam'
The sunlight cast its orange glint into the room where Miriam was supposed to get ready for the big day. The makeup artist was almost done with Eleanor and was patiently waiting for Miriam to evacuate the bathroom for what seemed to be almost an hour now. "Miriam, you have been inside the bathroom for almost an hour now. You have to come out now and get your makeup done or I might break down this door and come get you." Doris let out frankly.The door of the bathroom slowly flickered open to show Miriam dressed in her wedding gown but in a gloomy manner. "Why does the bride of the year look like she is grieving? Brighten up a little girl." Doris let out. "Miriam, your gown is too pretty for such a huge frown." The makeup artist let out. "Eleanor, has Christain come home at any chance?" Miriam asked."You see, we have been trying to get a hold of him on his cell phone but he wasn't picking up. I tried it a while ago but it seemed his battery went flat and now it is switched off but
"Doris, are you sure?" Miriam asked unbelievably. "Yes, your prince charming is present in the church. He's ready to have his beautiful princess." Doris squealed happily. "Thank you, Lord," Miriam said, closing her eyes to say a little prayer. She opened her eyes before letting out an enormous puff. "Did you see what I have been telling you about? Christian loves you so much." Eleanor let out making Miriam nod in agreement. Soon enough, the church was quiet as a grief yard as people sat down quietly waiting for the bride's arrival. Christian stood by the altar with his best man beside him! His expression was unexplainable. The cute little kids dressed in their best clothing soon emerged inside the church with a basket of flowers as they tickled little by little on the floor. Eleanor and Miriam came right after them. Their step was slow and calculated. The cameras flickered everywhere as the Cameraman aimed to get a good shot of the bride. Christian glared at Miriam intensely as a
Miriam had gotten home to notice her sister and friend watching the news. "You are here Miriam," Doris said the moment she noticed her friend. "Hey," Eleanor simply said."I'm glad that you are home because Carlos has just been arrested by the police!" She blurted out while Miriam gaze was fixed to the television. Miriam's heart skipped a beat as she turned her attention to the television. The news anchor's voice filled the room, reporting on the arrest of Carlos, a name she recognized so well. The screen displayed footage of a man being led away in handcuffs by police officers."I honestly had no idea that he would be handcuffed in front of everybody," Miriam said, a little bit guilty. Miriam's voice trembled as she spoke, the weight of the situation sinking in. "Well, I think that's good. That way, other criminals like him would know exactly what would happen to them when they do similar things." Doris said with no remorse.Miriam nodded slowly, her mind racing with a mix of e
While Carlos was being taken to the station, the media wouldn't stop at no chance but to get a video of him. Carlos's mother, in a state of distress, had immediately reached out to the biggest lawyer she knew as soon as Carlos was being taken to the station. She understood the gravity of the situation and wanted to ensure that Carlos received the best legal representation possible.The lawyer, renowned for their expertise and reputation, agreed to meet Carlos and his mother at the police station. As they arrived, the media swarmed around them, eager to capture any glimpse or statement from Carlos. Reporters and cameraman jostled for positions, trying to get the perfect shot or interview.The lawyer, well-versed in handling high-profile cases, guided Carlos and his mother through the chaotic scene, shielding them from the intrusive media.They swiftly made their way into the station, where they could discuss the details of the case in a more private setting."Attorney, what are we
Meanwhile, Gina and her son walked inside the company, they discussed. "I thought that you weren't joining the press conference?" Gina questioned while she held her expensive purse tightly. Carlos looked up at her with a serious expression. "I just thought that it was best I keep myself busy because it takes my mind off Miriam." He replied. "By the way, regarding your court case. You don't have to worry about it because I promise to do everything for the court to dismiss your case, okay?" Gina told her son. Carlos nodded, a mixture of gratitude and worry on his face. "Thanks, Mom. I appreciate your support, but I can't shake off the feeling that things might not go as smoothly as we hope. The evidence against me seems pretty strong."Gina sighed and placed a reassuring hand on Carlos's shoulder. "I understand your concerns, Carlos. But we have a good legal team working on your case, and I trust that they'll do everything they can to prove your innocence. We'll fight this together,
After leaving Miriam's apartment, Carlos couldn't go back home. He had driven to the bar to drink his pains away.Carlos sat in his car with his friend, parked outside the bar, feeling a mix of emotions after leaving Miriam's apartment. He had hoped for a different outcome, but the conversation he had with his son had left him with a heavy heart. Unable to face the solitude of his empty home, he sought solace in the familiar comfort of the bar.As he stepped out of the car, the cool night air enveloped him, causing him to shiver slightly. With a deep sigh, he walked towards the entrance with Jeffrey beside him, the dimly lit sign above casting a faint glow on the pavement. The sound of laughter and music seeped through the door, a stark contrast to the somberness that weighed on his mind.Pushing open the heavy wooden door, Carlos entered the bar and was immediately greeted by a wave of noise and the scent of alcohol. The room was filled with customers engaged in energetic conversa
It was late at night but Carlos didn't mind as he drove to Miriam's apartment with his friend Jeffery tagging along. The streets were quiet and the city lights cast a dim glow on the deserted sidewalks."Carlos, hey, it's late!" Jeffery said the moment they arrived in front of Miriam's apartment."Miriam might think you are here to kidnap Henry!" Jeffery added and Carlos would have chuckled at his statement if things were alright. "I just want to see Henry and not cause trouble!" Carlos said. He glanced at Jeffery, who was looking slightly worried."I understand your concern, Jeffery," Carlos replied, trying to reassure his friend. "But you know how much Henry means to me." Carlos added.Jeffery nodded reluctantly, understanding the depth of Carlos's feelings for his son. "I get it, man. We can do this tomorrow. Why don't we go home and come back!" Jeffrey said.Carlos hesitated for a moment, torn between his eagerness to see his son and Jeffery's valid concerns. He knew Jeffery was
“Doris, please take care of Henry while I’m away. Okay!” Miriam said, grabbing her bag to leave the house.“Sure, I would make sure that he gets his bath,” Doris said but their little discussion was interrupted when Eleanor walked inside followed by Christian and the lawyer. “Miriam, you have got a guest,” Eleanor informed her sister before she could leave. “Miriam, Carlos had done something through a high source of justice!” Christian voiced.“And what’s that?” Miriam asked.“Based on everything that the lawyer had gotten from the court, it says that Carlos has already admitted the incident to you and that you have forgiven him before you even got married!” Christian voiced out and that had left Miriam’s mouth to hang open. “But that’s not true, he merely even told me that he was the one who had violated me. Oh my Goodness!” Miriam said, rubbing her forehead. “That’s a great defense!” Christian voiced out.“Your ex-husband is such a liar,” Doris said, wiggling her head in shame.
Christian was presently in Doris’ house, he had engaged his men in creating a surprise for Miriam. Everywhere seemed decorated with balloons and expensive flowers. “Are you ready?” Christian asked his men. “Yes sir,” they both responded while wiping their hands with napkins.“Miriam would be here, are your hand's clean guys?” Christian asked them both.“Yes, of course, sir!” They responded yet again. “Okay good,” he said. “Oh wow,” The voice of Doris came the moment they walked towards the decorated area. “What is that?” Doris said all happy and cheerful.“I can’t believe this,” she kept saying while Miriam and her sister trudged from behind. “What have you gotten for us, oh wow!” Doris exclaimed in surprise. “Isn’t this too much for us, can I have some?” Doris asked, staring at the variety of food.“Sure!” The men answered. “What’s this for Christian?” Miriam questioned the moment they were both facing each other.“I heard that your marriage to Carlos has just been annulled,
Carlos was staring at the family portrait in his hands when one of the workers at his home approached him. “Mr. Carlos, someone is here...” she was going to say but the presence of Eleanor had caught her short. “Eleanor?” Carlos simply said. “I came here to talk to you Carlos because I love my sister and my nephew so much!” Eleanor said.“I have a favor to ask!” She said, “Do you know what, Carlos? Every time I look at Henry, I feel very bad to know that he is suffering, and I feel hurt as well when I see that my sister is hurting deep inside,” Eleanor uttered.“I honestly don't want her to hurt,” Carlos said.“Is that so? Then I think that you should probably give her what she wants, you should cooperate with Miriam so that the annulment of your marriage would become quicker!” Eleanor said,“But I don't want to lose my family!” Carlos said confidently. “We all know that the court would soon annul your marriage but that doesn't mean that you won't see my sister or Henry ever again
Carlos was at Doris’ residence and no matter how much he explained to Doris, she just wasn't accepting.“You are truly just persistent, I have told you countless times that Miriam isn't here!” Doris said.“But Doris, she had called me on the phone because she wanted to talk to me,” Carlos informed her.“I don't know what you are talking about but I think it would be better if you just leave now and leave my friend alone!” Doris told him harshly but Eleanor had approached them at that very moment. “Doris, I think that's enough. We both know that Miriam truly wants to talk to him!” Eleanor voiced.“You know what, you are the only one who is okay with what Miriam wants!” Doris said, she slowly rolled her eyes at Carlos before walking away.“Daddy?” the little boy called in happiness before running to engulf Carlos in a hug. “Daddy, is it true that you and mother would finally get to talk?” the little boy asked with a widened smile.“Yes, Henry but your mother is not home right now!” Ca
