2024-10-29 19:42:56It was five thirty, and Drake and Jessica were sitting at Debbie’s bedside. Debbie had just finished picking at her dinner.
“Baby, you should eat some more. You need to keep up your strength,” Jessica mumbled.
“Oh, Ma, that’s not food. It’s a science experiment, and lunch wasn’t that much better,” Debbie said with a deep frown. “Daddy, can’t you get me a cheeseburger with mayo?”
“Sweetheart, the doctor doesn’t want you to eat anything greasy for a while,” Drake said solemnly.
“You two seem down about something. I thought the doctor said that I was going to be okay,” Debbie said.
“You are, honey,” Jessica said quickly. “It’s just . . . we have something to tell you, and we don’t know how to . . . tell you.”
Debbie looked at her and then she looked at Drake.
“You know I love you, don’t you, Debb

It had been an hour and a half since Debbie’s break down. The staff had let Jessica and Drake look in on her only once during that time. They were limiting her visitors until she woke up and a child psychiatrist had a chance to speak with her. Jessica didn’t like it, but she knew that it was best for Debbie. Jessica didn’t want her daughter to be traumatized for the rest of her childhood. She and Drake hoped it was just an outburst of frustration and nothing deeper had taken root because of the truth. Jessica was in the hospital chapel alone. Drake and her parents had gone to the cafeteria. All of a sudden, Yvonne Michelson sat next to her in the pew. Jessica didn’t even hear

Jessica had left. Bobby stepped to Charles. They were eye to eye. Neither one of them blinked. “If I had seen you fourteen years ago right after I found out she was pregnant, I would have busted yo ass. Job or no job,” Bobby said darkly. “Now that you know that you’re a father, I’m sure you understand.” He understood. If some guy got Debbie pregnant, he would shoot him in the face. “I do. But I hope you know that I was in love with her. It wasn’t a one-night stand. I love her still, and I told her so.” Bobby’s thick eyebrows rose. “What’d she say?” &

Debbie quickly trotted down the sidewalk in Manhattan with the coat that she stole out of the maintenance closet and the boots that were two sizes too big for her feet. However, she was still cold. The hospital gown was not made for cold weather. She had found ten dollars in the coat. She was saving it for food. She had plenty of cash stashed in her bedroom at home, but she didn’t have her house keys to get in. She had always saved ten dollars from her allowance in case of emergencies since she was nine. Debbie wasn’t sure where she was going. All she knew was that she wanted to get out of there. They were all getting on her last nerve. She needed her space, not drugs.Luckily the sedative had worn off while no one was in the room. Despite the fact that she was groggy, she had rummaged through the drawers and found gauze and

After Charles had carried an unconscious Jessica to a hospital room for the nurse to examine her, he walked with Drake and Bobby to the hospital employees’ elevator. The maintenance guy had said he had never seen anything like it. Debbie had pried the panel off the wall and rewired the elevator to do what she wanted it to do. “It’s sloppy, but they got the job done,” the maintenance man had said. Security had a camera in the elevator. Everyone’s mouths had dropped open when they saw Debbie enter the elevator with a coat and boots on. She had looked half dead on her feet. She got off in the employee garage. Three security officers along with Bobby, Drake, and Charles had searched the garage, and there was no sign of her.

Debbie’s head fell forward. Charles quickly caught her in his arms. She was out like a light. He pulled the side of her shirt up. Blood had soaked the large gauze that covered where she was shot. The other gauze where she had surgery was starting to bleed, too. “Calvin!” he yelled frantically. The door swung open. Calvin dashed over to him. “What happen?” “She passed out. Calvin, she’s burning up, and she’s bleeding,” he explained as he adjusted his hold on her. “We have to get her back to the hospital.” They were back in the Range Rover within minutes. His unco

Charles Michelson was thirty-three years old, good looking, worth two billion bucks, and spent most of his time overseas. He lived every man’s dream. However, the dream was getting old, especially for the last year. Charles was experiencing an emptiness — almost a hollow feeling in his stomach and in his heart. He wasn’t sure what was wrong until he decided to visit his family for Christmas. What was missing in Charles’s life was love. Now, that he knew what he needed, he was on the hunt — the hunt for true love. **************************************************** It was November in New York. Charles Michelson had

It was Saturday evening when Charles walked past the threshold of the Michelson estate. He had on a black tux. His thick, brown, curly hair was slicked down with gel to keep it under control. “Good evening, Mr. Michelson,” Joseph, the butler, greeted. “Evening, Joseph,” Charles said with a wide grin. He took off his coat and white scarf and handed them to Joseph. “I take it that everyone is here already. The valets were just milling about when I pulled up.” The party had started a half hour ago. Charles was purposely late to events like this. He didn’t have the patience to listen to opening speeches stating how much money was needed to be raised and who was sponsoring the event.“Most of the guests have arrived, sir,&

Charles had been at the townhouse for two hours drinking wine out of bottles. He had excused Xavier for the evening. He wasn’t going anywhere. What for? He wasn’t needed or wanted by anybody. Someone rang the doorbell. Charles drunkenly made his way to the door. Whoever it was rang the doorbell again, and then started banging on the door. Charles stopped in the foyer. “I don’t want to talk to you, Jessica! Go away!” he slurred loudly. “It’s Calvin, you fool. Open the door!”&n

Thanks to Charles’s blood donation, Debbie survived the night. Drake, Jessica, and her parents stayed at the hospital. They slept on and off in the waiting room in the ICU. They were allowed to see Debbie two at a time and for only ten minutes at a time. Debbie had been unconscious most of the night. She had opened her eyes once when Jessica and Drake were in the room, but her eyes fluttered closed within five seconds. The staff said the doctor wanted Debbie sedated for the night so she could rest and to make sure she didn’t make any sudden movements that would tear her stitches. Charles had been gracious enough to spend the night at the hospital just in case Debbie needed more blood. Plus, the hospital staff wanted him to stay close by because they had slowly drawn two pints from him. Of course, it wasn’t all at once, but two
