Her heart started racing in excitement. She could finally put an end to this madness. Once he confessed, she could expose Ivy and Annabelle. She pulled out of the hug gently and said, “Taylor, I think I should go home and change. My clothes and body is covered with blood.”“That's true.” Taylor sniffed and gave her a watery smile as her cheeks turned bright red. “I'm sorry, I don't know what came over me.”“It's fine. I don't mind at all.” Taylor gave her a small nod and she went to Marie.“Mrs Perry, I'm going to head home so I can get changed. I'll be back as soon as I can.”“Call me Marie, dear. And it's okay, go get changed.”Angela thanked her and left quickly. Alan was waiting for her in the lobby, Ivy wasn't there again and she assumed she had gone home.“Alan, please take me to my house.”“Yes ma'am” He fell in line beside her, keeping up with her pace.“Did they catch the assassin?”He asked as they walked out of the hospital building.“They did and he's finally ready to t
She decided to go to the hospital first and leave the interrogation till morning since she had promised Tristan’s mother that she'd be back. When she entered the ward, her heart melted at the scene in front of her. Taylor was asleep on the chair and Marie, who had not noticed her presence, was gently pulling a blanket over her. She kissed her hair like she was a child and it made Angela teary-eyed. Her mother never treated her like that. She treated Annabelle a bit better but it was nothing compared to the way Marie treated her children.She looked at Tristan’s closed eyes. He looked so serene and handsome. Tristan was the only person who treated her with so much love and told her how much he loved her too. She didn't want to admit it but recently, she's been getting more and more flashbacks of her time with him before the amnesia. And she remembered everything that happened between them last night.Thinking about it made her blush and at that moment, she wished he was awake so she c
“You may have noticed that the relationship between Travis and I, is complicated. The thing is, when I conceived Tristan, I was on the verge of walking away from my marriage. He wanted a son but I only managed to give him two girls and he became frustrated. Our marriage was falling apart.” She gave a deep sigh.“I married Travis when I was very young. I was twenty-one. It was an arranged marriage, so I didn’t have any say.”“You married at twenty-one?” Angela asked in disbelief and Marie nodded.Then, she chuckled and continued “I know, it’s strange to get married at that age, but like I said, I didn’t have a say in it. Neither did Travis and because neither of us got to know each other properly before we got married, we had a hard time getting along. He didn’t love me and I didn’t love him too. We constantly argued. I even considered divorcing him six months after we were married, but part of the contract of our marriage was that divorce was not an option, at least till after ten ye
She rushed to the hospital, only to be welcomed by lots of reporters at the gate with their cameras. The moment she stepped out of the car, a crowd of reporters swarmed her, shoving their microphones and cameras in her face, and asking her a bunch of questions at the same time.The crowd pressed at her until Alan had to hurriedly get to her and led her safely out from the crowd and inside the hospital.She quickly made her way to the ward, only to find Ivy and Tristan’s whole family, including his father who looked like he wanted to murder somebody.He turned to her, eyes blazing as he marched towards her. “You! How dare you?”Angela was confused. She put her hand on her chest dramatically.“M—me? What did I do?”Travis was now standing in front of her, his tall figure towering menacingly over her as she kept her eyes downcast, and tried not to shiver in fear.“You want my son dead, don't you?” he growled.“W—what? No, I don't… I…”“Silence!” he yelled. “I have tried my possible best
“You would really get rid of your sister's boyfriend?”He asked with a bit of disbelief and suspicion.“Why?”“Personal reasons.” she answered expressionless. “By the way, my services don't come for free,”He chuckled and replied “I didn't think so. So, how much do you want?”“Two million!” she answered simply and he almost choked on his saliva.“What? Two million dollars? For what? Forget it! I'll do it…”“Yourself? How do you plan on doing that? Tristan’s ward is probably heavily guarded and every moment you waste hesitating, he gets better. May I remind you that I have a huge advantage? I literally have Angela's face, so I'm the right person for this. No one would suspect a thing and even if it's eventually discovered, Angela will take the fall for it, because no one would believe she has a twin. I'll be long gone by then. So you see? It's a win-win situation here. We’re killing two birds with one stone.”Leo raked his head, under her intense scrutiny, lost in thought, wondering i
“You have a child?” Marie asked her, face pale and moving closer to Angela.Angela was at loss for words. What the hell was Ivy saying? What was she trying to do? “No, I don't…”“Stop lying Angela!” She turned to face Travis. “I had my suspicion about her from the beginning, so I did a little digging and found out she had a six-year-old daughter and a boyfriend in New Zealand…”“That's a lie!” Angela spat and Ivy chuckled darkly.“Really? Then how do you explain this?”She brought out her phone and showed everyone a photo of Annabelle with Zoe, but since they didn't know she had a twin, they believed it was Angela that was in the picture.Ivy saw the confused look on her face and smirked.“What's the matter, Angela? Have you suddenly lost your voice? Isn't her name Zoe? Why are you pretending not to know what I'm talking about?”She asked mockingly.Angela didn't know how to defend herself. If she told them she had a twin, they'll think she was making it up to cover up. She looked at
She rang the doorbell, impatiently, over and over again, fuming as she did.Finally, her wait was over, as the door opened gently.He looked surprised and scared to see her as he instinctively touched his bandaged eye and his eyebrows raised and fell back into a frown.“I definitely wasn’t expecting you. To be honest, I didn’t think you would ever forgive me, let alone…”“Let me just clarify, I didn’t forgive you. I came here to warn you.”She pushed past him and stormed in. He shut the door gently and followed her curiously.Leo observed as Ivy sighed and raked her fingers through her hair. She seemed to be in a frenzy as she paced. He felt his heart softening towards her, he could never stay mad at her, at least not for long. Even if she never love him again, he’ll always love her.“Are you okay? Would you like to have a seat…?”She met his eyes abruptly, fear and fury in hers. “I always knew you were daft, I just didn’t know how daft you were until now.”Leo’s heart that was soften
She found a vein and was about to inject him when she stopped, a mischievous thought forming in her mind.Who says she can't have what her sister has as well? So, just to spite Angela more, she gently took off the respirator from his mouth, leaned down, and planted a nice, long kiss on his lips. When she straightened, she had a big victorious smile on her face. “I know for sure that you are a good kisser.”She sighed contentedly as she took his hand and made to inject him.Just as she was about to put the needle in his vein, a hand gripped hers firmly from the back. Her heart stopped in fear for what seemed like forever but it was only a few seconds. She swallowed hard, dreading turning around to see who the intruder was. Then, with a strong force, the intruder twisted her arm painfully, making her cry out and the syringe fell from her hand.She turned in anger to behold a furious Angela, shooting daggers at her with her eyes.“H—how…?” she could not complete her statement as her wo
