“Yeah. You said it was urgent,” Liam affirmed as he gazed at her too, with great curiosity lurking in his heart, while trying to get it in control of its rapid beats that awaited the words he had imagined over and over in his head that she would say to him.

He had wondered endlessly what she wanted to tell him.

“Marry Evelyn, and take over the hospital. It wouldn't be nice if you lost your inheritance,” she muttered briefly as she carried her eyes away from him, her words skipping so fast, like it would hurt her to say them slowly.

“What are you talking about?” Liam questioned, his eyebrows jumping in surprise as his forehead knotted in confusion. Immediately, he realized that Evelyn had informed her again of the threat his father had made to him, so that she would pressure him to obey.

“Don't you want to take over your inheritance? Do you want to lose what is rightfully yours over something so trivial?” Nadia asked him sternly, her heart beating so erratically, and her voice tre

Nadia needs to think for herself, & not for Evelyn’s satisfaction. Leaving Liam doesn’t guarantee he’ll marry Evelyn, & he doesn’t need her to tell him what to do & why. He knows his situation better than anyone. She shld feel stupid allowing Evelyn to use her in an attempt to get what she wants.

    “Hi, Hudson,” Stacy called sluggishly as soon as she sat in front of her brother, at the restaurant he told her that he was going to meet her. She had been restless ever since he asked if she was at Carlton's, and there was no way that she could deny it even if she wanted to. And she agreed to meet him and talk about it, knowing that he must have been something enough to be convinced. She never thought the day they would have to speak about her and Carlton would come that briskly. “Hey, kid sister,” Hudson responded with a dry smile, even if he had so many ideas and thoughts going on in his head. He had too many questions to ask his sister, and he was not even sure he would know where to start. “How have you been?” Stacy asked him, as she ordered just wine instead of food, knowing that there was no way that she would be able to get food into her stomach, with the nauseating feeling that tension had spread over her body. “Been great, sis,” Hudson answered, “Trust you have been too,”

    Reporters are waiting everywhere outside the hospital. What is going on?” One nurse questioned the other person sitting beside her, as her eyes focused on the ruckus that seemed to be going on outside the hospital with reporters struggling to enter when it was barely noon. “I guess it has to do with the news that came out this morning about the Howard conglomerate,” she answered, as she sorted out the patients' charts she had been asked to bring information about. “What has that got to do with the hospital? Did they fund the hospital too? Are we going to be investigated? Gosh, what would I do if we lost our jobs?” The one who had asked, panicked, which made the other one roll her eyes in irritation. “Would you catch your breath and listen? Or I leave?” She hissed, and the other one composed herself instantly. “Apparently, the CEO , Carlton Howard, was one of our VIP patients in the hospital, and news came out that he had been getting treatment in our hospital for the past years, w

    “Is that not the billionaire that was on the news?” Nadia whispered as she dragged Stacy to the other side of the room, after Carlton had taken his seat in their living room. “Yeah,” she responded, with a modest smile gracing her lips. “What is he doing here?” Nadia whispered, still not grasping what was going on. “Because this is the only safe place he can be that no one would know about,” Stacy chuckled, trying hard to keep her laughter in check because of how her friend was freaking out. “What?! Do you know him from somewhere?” she questioned again, while trying to understand what a man like him was doing in their house. “Yeah. He was my outpatient,” Stacy answered lazily, while trying to keep Nadia from squirming uncontrollably. “Wow! Your outpatient? So that means…….” That was when realization hit Nadia, the moment she comprehended the information that she had just been told. “He is your boyfriend?! This is the man you are dating?!” She half-yelled, losing herself already

    It had been days since Carlton left on the short trip that he had gone on with James, and Stacy had been trying to maintain her sanity even if it was so hard to do that. She had not been able to reach him ever since he left, through calls, text messages, or even emails, and it was hard to hide the rising tide of panic that threatened to engulf her. Desperate to hide that she was fine, she forced a bright smile whenever she was with her patients, while trying to hide the fact that she had been overthinking a lot about what was going on. Though she landed two nice paying gigs which she finished in two days to keep her busy, she could not be happy, considering how things had fallen apart for her too. “Are you fine, Stace?” Fiona, who was a new doctor that was assigned to work with her, asked, her voice frail and thin in its usual way. “Yes. Why do you ask?” Stacy answered her with a smile, even if she knew what the lady was talking about. However, she was scared of showing her weakness

    Stacy stood transfixed in a spot with trembling hands, with her eyes fully dilated as a result of the stunning state of disbelief she had been plunged into. Her heart raced with excitement and tears at the same time as she continually stared at the two red lines on the pregnancy test kit she had used. To be sure that she was not mistaken when she first saw it, she repeated the process for two other kits, and it all appeared with two stripes. ‘What?! She was pregnant?!’ She had been feeling weak and dizzy for the past few days after the ruckus at the hospital started to dissipate into forgetfulness, with another nurse's secret affair with the head of her department the next talk of everyone. However, thinking it was stress and the aftereffects of her endless tears and sadness, she didn't think of such at all. After Carlton returned, they spent the weekend together, even with his hectic schedule, and spent the entire night in each other's arms to make up for the short time that they

    The air that filled the space of Carlton's office crackled with tension, as he stood up from where he was sitting, and strode elegantly with his hands tucked into his pockets with a wicked smile dancing on his lips towards Alison, who was sitting comfortably on the deluxe couch that no one showed her, while sipping from the sizzling cup of coffee in her hand with so much confidence. Though she had made it so difficult to get to the bottom of the truth concerning his company funds, he was far smarter than her gimmicks and the stunts she pulled. However, it was quite puzzling for him to know that the two persons she had used as her tools were merely driven by instigation, and had been sabotaged by her in the long run due to their loose tracks. Therefore, they were not able to rope Alison into their mess after they were caught. After all, the two had no idea who had been giving them orders for months because they were getting large deposits from the supposed person who was driving them

    Stacy sat gracefully at a table for two in the private diner that she had reserved for her and Carlton, her delicate fingers tracing invisible patterns on the linen tablecloth, with many thoughts running through her mind. Her gaze often drifted towards the entrance in anticipation for him to arrive, practicing in her head how she would break the news of her pregnancy to him, and the expression he would have on his face. The laughter and joy they would share, and how he would shower her with kisses and love. However, her mind suddenly wavered to the meeting she had with Carlton's grandfather earlier that day during her lunch break at a private, which took her countless self-assurance to acknowledge, while thinking nonstop about why he suddenly contacted her. She remembered the stifling atmosphere the meeting started with, and each progression worse than the last minute. His words echoed in her mind from their conversation, and reality had flashed before her that she couldn't just h

    “What was that about?!” Carlton stormed into the building where Marilyn texted to him, and he found her sitting comfortably on one of the seats there, and a soft gasp escaped her lips as soon as she raised her eyes to see the figure that made his way in. “You came?” Her eyes glimmered as her lips split into a bewildered smile, because she was not expecting to see Carlton that fast. She dropped the glass of whiskey that she was drinking on the stool beside her and stood up on her feet, as she began to make her way closer to where he was standing. “I just asked you a question!” He firmly stated, his eyes narrowing to slit as his face bunched into a disgusted sneer the more he looked at her face. “At least take a seat. Then we can talk then,” Marilyn moved closer as she tried to touch him, but he retreated instantly with a sneer on his face, feeling so repulsed that she wanted to touch him. ‘How dare she?’ “Can you just be serious?!” his jaws clenched as he struggled to contain h

    It was a beautiful morning at a big, luxurious wedding hall, where every detail had been meticulously crafted to exude a sense of elegance and sophistication, and Carlton and Stacy stood at the altar holding their hands and gazing into each other’s eyes with a synchronizing smile curving their lips, as they prepared to take their wedding vows. Stacy donned a voluminous luxurious lacy white gown of exquisite and intricate adorning diamond that shimmered with fierce intensity of beauty, as she looked so radiant like a celestial being before the altar. Her veil softly framed her beautiful face like a halo, as she held a bouquet, her eyes illuminating so much affection for the man that was standing beside her. Carlton was daunting and dashingly ethereal in his custom-made black suit, his tousled, dark hair framing his breathtaking beauty and piercing beautiful eyes, which were a mesmerizing shade of deep blue that gazed into Stacy's eyes, with sheer happiness radiating within him.

    It was still the early hours of the morning, and the atmosphere was still quite dampened with barely any sign of sunlight, when Carlton entered the room to find Stacy still sleeping. He shook her shoulder tenderly and teased around her face, as she stirred for a few seconds without waking up. Then again, Carlton whispered something into her right ear as she remained in her deep slumber, which aroused a ticklish feeling in her as her hand tried to rub her ear. “Wake up,” Carlton whispered with a smile, and she finally turned in response to his barely audible voice, her eyes flickering awake, even if she was still slightly groggy. “What is going on, Carl?” she mumbled tiredly as a yawn escaped her lips, but a smile curved his lips instead as his hands grabbed her body and pulled her up from the bed, “What time is it?”“Shhhh. You will wake the kids up,” he cautioned, seeing that she was chuckling quite loudly, as she planted a kiss on her cheek and neck, “Put on something and follo

    Months flew by faster than expected, and Stacy had been living her best life with Carlton after Nadia moved to Phoenix with Liam. They kept in close contact through video calls and phone calls, telling one another about the new things they were now invested in and how the new city moved in. Nadia launched her new book after she moved to Phoenix, and better than she thought it would be, it was doing excellently well through the influence of her lovely lover, and social media, which gained her thousands of followers in less than six months. And with the brilliant response and love she received for her medical romance book, she started a sequel. She and Liam moved to the penthouse of a hundred-floor skyscraper in one of the wealthy neighborhoods in the city, which had the best view that she could ever wish for as a home. More than anything, Nadia's life had changed beautifully, more than she could have ever imagined, because of the people she got to meet in her life. Within those few

    “Arhhhhhhhhh. I am feeling the heat,” muttered Jasmine, who kept chuckling endlessly as she watched the two endearing couples. “This is making me hate that I am single,” Fiona rolled her eyes playfully and took a glance at Connor, whose attention had been on her for a few seconds, which caused both of them to look away instantly. “Please, do not gloat about your sweet love in our presence,” Jasper whined with a chortle, as everyone giggled wildly as they nudged one another. Natasha raised her glass in a toast amid the sweet public display of affection, “To friendship, and new beginnings!” She declared, her high-pitched voice reverberating everywhere in the garden. Everyone around them lifted their glasses, joining in the toast with cheers and clinking glasses, as they continued to engage in light conversations, while getting prepared for a new dimension of the party. As the evening progressed, the party moved to the center of the garden, where a large open space had been cleared

    It was the night of Stacy's baby shower and the party that Nadia had planned went better than anyone could have imagined, especially because of the additional guests that were invited, who were mostly Stacy's and Liam's colleagues from medical school. She invited Ryan too, but he was far out of the country and would not be able to make it. The garden in the mansion was transformed beautifully into a perfect banquet, and the soft hum of beautiful music played in the background, blending seamlessly with the laughter and chatter of the people present, as they ate and drank with their faces lit with joy and merriment. Liam and Stacy stood by one of the tables as they welcomed their few friends from the party that was invited from their medical school, while Nadia invited about four people from her new department at the WILLAND hospital without minding the ordeal everyone's tongues had put her through in the hospital. “I still can't believe you are having a baby!” One of their friends

    It had been almost two weeks since Stacy came back into Carlton's life, and their most torrid glow of love had been rekindled countless times so that they couldn't even keep a record anymore. They could not stop snuggling into each other at every moment like young puppies. He was spending his vacation time with her as he had planned to do before, as they caught up with everything they had missed, while he had to spend time with her, and accompanied her to the hospital for her medical checkup. Stacy asked him to keep the house and not move out as he planned, since the entire estate belonged to him, because every memory that they had cherished together was made in the house. It was a beautiful moment when she talked about starting a family together with him in that same house. It was no old news anymore that he was seen spotted with a pregnant woman in a facecap at different places, as media houses blew up with headlines, wondering who the strange lady he was seen with was. It broug

    “I am sorry it took this long to come back,” Stacy whispered softly, her heart aching terribly the more she saw the sullen expression etched upon his face as he gazed incredulously at her. He was finding it so hard to believe that it was truly her. Tears streamed down Carlton's face as he slowly buried his head in her shoulder, when he could finally comprehend in his head that it was truly her, “I thought I lost you forever, Stace,” he choked out, his voice laced with so much angst, breaking, “Where have you been? I… I searched for you everywhere.” She sobbed softly, clutching at him with her arms wrapped around his back as if her life depended on it, “I… am so sorry,” she whispered, “I ... .just lost my mind, you know. The truth was too much for me to bear.” “I am so sorry, Stace,” Carlton's voice was heavy as he apologized, “I am so sorry for making you go through a lot by yourself. Please forgive me,” he implored her deeply. “I am more sorry, Carlton. I shouldn't have been sel

    TWO MONTHS LATER It had been the longest days of Carlton's life, and he could not even remember how long it had been because he was back to the same pathetic state Stacy met him months ago, when he had just silently lived the saddest and most pathetic life without her. He had begun working from a tiny space in a suffocating and tight space where he separated himself from the world and the world of his own mind, which haunted him with sadness and a pressing weight of depression with which he had no idea when it would end. Though the company was back on track because he had distracted himself by working restlessly to surpass his goals for the remaining half of the year in just a few weeks, he had been like a ghost, haunting the light of the deep darkness that had taken over his happiness. After Alison's cremation, he had sent a lot of emails to Hudson to talk to him, and had even journeyed to his company on several occasions to see him, but every one of his efforts to get through
