Alberto stormed his way over to where Maria was standing watching the busy night of New York, with her car parked at the side. The anger and animosity on his face, was called for as a result of Maria playing him over, and going against their initial plans. Her guards stopped him from approaching her, since they sensed danger emitting off him, but Maria waved at them to let him through, before turning over to face the busy city. Hence, she knew the reason why he’s here, and why he looked like he wanted to snap her head, but she could care less about him. He was just a means to an end, now he has served his purpose, the only reason he’s still alive is because she’s too heavy in keeping her promises, besides, he had never for once given her any reason to doubt that he’s an enemy. It’s such a shame that the family he had spent his whole life serving ruined his life, but that’s why they clicked instantly the moment they met each other, it was because they had something in common, the bot
After so many years.After so many long years of blaming himself for her death, Angelo couldn’t believe that she was right here, standing in front of him, alive.Hale and healthy!Long gone was the thought about killing her at first sight if they were to meet, besides, she wasn’t making it any easy for him being here with her, and acting like she wasn’t the one who had that murderous going in her eyes, the moment they shared gazed with each other in Donovan’s wedding ceremony.He said nothing when she hugged him, totally confusing him because he had expected her first reaction to be that of anger, for pulling the trigger on her. Which made him scared to reciprocate the hug, as he had no idea what was going through her mind. The only reason he was here was because he had to fix what was broken by her.So, he pulled her away from him which made Maria look up at him, into his eyes. He was resisting her?Was it because of his wife?Maria thought.This was the first time she had seen su
“Yes mother, I’m at the hospital.” Jolene said, holding the phone to her ear inorder to press the floor she was to go into the elevator.After a long day at work, the young lady had decided to visit her father, who apparently was in a coma. Sadly, the incident had incurred some damage to his brain as a result of the hit that he took, before he was shot.Not only did the detective have surgery to remove the bullet, which luckily didn’t hit a vital organ. He had to undergo an urgent brain surgery which cost a lot, which was what Jolene was trying to pay off the hospital bills.She couldn't bear to see her mother stress herself up for that, the woman was already losing her mind from seeing her husband, without talking to him , or him being responsive.All the doctor did was to give them the hope that it was up to her father to wake up, so, that’s what everyone was praying for, a miracle.In these past two weeks, Jolene has taken it upon herself to be there for both her father and mother.
“I’m sorry but this is nothing but a swift stimulus, we can’t just hope on what happened to prove that the patient is awake.” Doctor Sam explained, only to receive a death glare from Jolene.What sort of bullshit is he on?“He moved his hands when i asked him to, I’m not lying, doctor. He moved his hands.” Jolene said again, since it was obvious that he didn't hear her the first time that she told him the reason why she called for him.“Which i don’t doubt you, Miss. But let’s look at the bigger picture here, we will run more tests and after that, we will know for sure how far along he is. But let’s not get our hopes high, just like i said, it’s nothing but a stimulus reaction.”The doctor said lastly and with that left the room with the nurse following behind him, while Jolene stood aside to look at his retreating figure.Was this some kind of joke?He’s the doctor here, but he’s acting like he just didn't want her father to recover or something. She didn't like him from the very st
Mature Content!Jolene came out of the bathroom to see that Marco wasn’t in the room, she did her night routine and wondered if he had left without saying goodbye. Maybe this night was one of those nights that he gets called into work so late at night.Jolene sighed.The young lady had gained peace in the fact that Valerie’s situation couldn't be helped anymore. Not after Marco had given her a rundown of what happened, and why she was taken.Just like she had thought, it has something to do with Vanesssa. If her father wakes up today and still decides to work on Valerie’s case, Jolene knows that she can’t help him any longer in giving him tips from what Marco told her.Why?The thought of losing Marco once things go astray. She has lost a friend, so she won’t lose him too. He had become such an important part of her life, which she knew that would hurt her physically and mentally if anything happens to Marco too.Jolene knew that what she was doing was totally uncalled for, afterall,
Mature content!“Do you trust me?” Marco asked, looking deep into her eyes, trapping her within the prison of lust and want, that it was too difficult for her to have any second thoughts about what she wants from him tonight.Trust?That was a big word for Jolene. She was scared, she has never done this before. She could still remember back in highschool, where girls freely talk about their sexual life as if it was something to be done with just anyone.She and Valerie were looked down upon, and were called prudes just because they had believed that the man to take their virginity would be the one they loved.In a world where being chaste as a lady wasn’t something to be proud of, the both of them were the only ones who still bashed in their belief that their first time, would be with someone they trust and cherish.She could still remember that her first crush and first relationship ended, because she wasn’t ready to go deep into this part, someone who she figured out had only dated
Berlin, Germany. 9:40 pm. *** “Where is she?” Donovan asked. Apparently, his stay here in Germany had come to an end and he was expected to take the next flight to New York, tomorrow morning, but he had wanted to see his sister this night only to arrive at her house to notice that she wasn’t at home. It has come to his notice that she has skipped her classes since the beginning of this week, as if that wasn’t enough, she’s been staying out late in the night knowing fully well her curfew was at nine. She was disregarding her safety, and it made Donovan unhappy. If this was her way of rebelling against the family for keeping her here, instead of back at home, she was doing it the wrong way, since it was her life that she was putting in danger and as well, that of the family. He could recall her personal guard has always made it known to him that Daisy likes partying, so he already knew what was going on. He was astonished that Daisy liked to play with her life and that of her frie
“Are you sure about this?” Vanessa asked for the second time, while looking at Chad who was busy watching cartoons playing on the television, without having any idea what was being said between her and Reporter Kim.It’s been two weeks since the incident that brought Chad to her, but drew her sister further apart from her. She had no idea where Donovan had her, because her inside men at his house said nothing about anyone looking like the lady she described working for him.Just like she had predicted, Donovan took her away from where she could find her again. Thus, making it hard for her to find her anytime soon, it’s only going to take time but Vanessa knows that she’s going to find Valerie and put an end to this madness.But first, she needs to take care of Chad which was the reason for this conversation with Reporter Kim. After staying at his place, she stood up today to leave, still bothered about who she was going to place Chad in his custody at least until this was over.“My si
Mature Content!Domestic violence!The breakfast started off fine, with Grandfather acting like he wasn’t the same person that had given him an ultimatum to choose between his mom and the love of his life. Angelo has given Donovan a signal from the very first time he has arrived with Anastasia, not to try to piss off the old man, since he was just looking for a reason to either kill his mom and Valerie .So, he tried his best to act as normal as possible, with his grandfather acting like the good father in law he was, by pushing the best past of the meal to Anastasia’s way.Donovan knows what he’s trying to do, but the old man has no idea that he had full control over his wife. He would be so disappointed to hear what Anastasia has to say, if he goes ahead to talk about Valerie.“So, have you made your decision yet?” Salvatore asked, looking at Donovan who looked at his father for an answer, but he himself didn't know what to say, since he wasn’t expecting his father to talk about th
Anastasia tried zipping up her gown, but she couldn’t reach towards the zipper. She has received word from one the guard that her presence was needed at her husband’s family house, for breakfast. With the talk of everyone being present there, she had made up her mind to as well use the opportunity to talk to her father in law, about how Donovan has been treating her all these while.A month and three days!That’s how long she has stayed here, locked up inside her room all day without any sight of her husband. After he had abandoned her on their wedding night for the girl he claims he’s in love with. He did much worse by taking away her phone, or any devices around the house she found use to reach out to anyone outside.To shut her up for good, but this opportunity was staring right at her face. She had her mind made up to expose Donovan’s ill treatment towards her.What sort of husband abandons his wife for months, on their wedding night, without checking up on her or their son, he h
Matured Content!!“You can leave now, it’s late.” Donovan said to Rio after coming down from the car. After he has successfully transferred to his new place days ago, he hasn’t been in constant contact with Marco, for which the reason was only made known to him.Irrespective of what Marco has done, he didn't want to give off the fact that they were having issues, afterall, Rio and Marco weren’t close like he’s with the three. Rio has always wanted Marco’s position and if Marco doesn’t sit up, and do his job, the position of his second in command could be Rios.“Before that sir..” Rio said, rubbing his hand nervously since he didn't know how he’s going to take the news he’s about to tell him.“What is it?” Donovan turned to face him. He has far more important things to do like cooking dinner for him and babygirl, but he’s been busy lately. So Rio and a new maid that he has assigned, were the ones that handle things over here when he’s away.He knew that he was wrong, so, he would have
Reporter Kim came down from his car, which he packed right outside the fake house that he was currently staying at. The reason for that being the fact that Vanessa, has suggested that after the tantrum he played by releasing that video to the police. It won’t take Donovan’s men much before they track him down. Although, there’s a chance that it would take days, but the chance of it happening had the both of them separate ways. Moreover, Vanessa has this plan, it was a risky one but he couldn’t help but do it for the greater benefit. Vanessa wants him to be kidnapped by Donovan, that way she would be to finally see Donovan and track him down. His locations has been unstable these days, she couldn’t exactly pin his exact location, and she knew the reason for that. After Donovan has betrayed and shot her at her thigh, it was as if something snapped inside her. She hasn’t been able to do anything without it having to do with finding Donovan. Moreover, she was scared. That he figured,
Five days later. Jolene woke up from the bed and ran to puke her guts out in the bathroom, she was not feeling fine ever since yesterday. She’s been having headaches, back pain and tiredness that she couldn’t explain the reason why she was suddenly sick. At first, she has blamed it on her sleepless nights where she has to cry herself to sleep, because she’s been dumped by Marco. After using her and taking her virtue, he down flatly treated her like they didn’t have anything serious going on between them. She couldn’t blame him entirely. Afterall, she never really got back the news that he’s okay after he was dragged away by his boss’ men. She was worried about him for the past few days until her calls couldn’t go through anymore, he had her message left unread without any reply so yes! He’s avoiding her. The young lady could still remember his reaction to her telling him the good news about her father being alive. It was at this point that it felt like the hex that had covere
Marco opened the door and once he saw his father standing outside, a big frown covered his face when he actually saw that it was his father that was knocking all along. Well, it obviously can’t be Jolene, because he had checked out of the hotel that she knew he was staying y at.So, there's no way she can actually get to him, if he’s not the one that makes it possible for her to see him. He was still not over his heartbreak, yet, he also had been lost in thought over the offer Donovan’s mother was offering.She wants Valerie, and with what has gone down in the past few hours that the police arrested Donovan for kidnapping Valerie, there’s no way he will be too stupid to not put more security around her this time around.Donovan might have successfully bribe the police over that video, but he wasn’t stupid enough to let his guard down around her. So, it was going to be much more difficult to get Valerie out this time around.“Don’t tell me that you are still angry, son? Come on, we hav
The next morning, Donovan woke up only to discover that Valerie wasn’t in bed with him. This was the first time that he has slept so late. He has always been a morning person, that sometimes he would wake up by four in the morning and watch her sleep.He sprang up from the bed with force, when he saw that she had ripped the iv that she has been taking since last night. This time, he was scared of what she might have done with him sleeping like a log of wood without actually knowing where she was.He was comforted with the fact that she didn't have the door pass or did she?He went to the nearest door looking for the card, he relaxed when he found it. That confirmed his suspicion about her leaving but he was still concerned about what she was doing right now.Ever since he made the mistake of killing that stylist in her face, yes! It was a mistake that he regrets because actually it wasn’t his intention to make her get scared of him. She’s supposed to love and feel comfortable around h
The moment Donovan entered inside the hotel room that Marco made him know was where his babygirl, Valerie was staying. He heard voices from inside coupled with the scent of antiseptics which made him rush in, fastly only to see Valerie lying on the bed, with a male doctor at her side, cleaning up the wound at her wrist.The moment Rio saw his boss, he tried to talk first and apologize for taking his eyes off Valerie for a minute, which made her opt to hurt herself after waking up to find herself in a different place, without him in sight.She has been panicking for the last twenty minutes and he has been calling him, but he wasn’t picking up.“Get your hands off her!” Donovan seethed in anger, which made the doctor pause his movement without complaining.“I’m sorry, boss.” Rio apologized.“What happened to her?” He asked him, moving along to sit at the edge of the bed to look at Valerie more closely.“I looked away for a second and then she was awake and started to panic when she didn
Once the call ended, Marco felt his heart breaking into pieces, and it wasn’t about the fact that Donovan’s words are still ringing in his head about who Jolene was going to choose once her father is awake. The reality was already playing right in front of his face that he couldn’t bear it himself to pretend to her anymore.He didn't want to pretend that he’s happy hearing that her father, the same man who wants him that was on the verge of death, had luckily escaped death to come haunt his life again.Just hearing her overexcited voice about her father being awake, confirmed everything for him, because just like at the end of the day he would choose his family, his father over anything and anyone else, Jolene would still choose her own family.He would choose his father over her, and that’s not selfishness. That’s the right thing to do, and he couldn't blame her if she does the same because he too is guilty of the same crime. It was at this point that Marco’s eyes were opened to his
