“Adrian?” Harriett’s face instantly turned pale as she stared at her long time friend. After the incident four years ago, she completely cut all ties with Adrian as she couldn’t face him out of total embarrassment and guilt.

“Well, this isn’t the reaction I was expecting.” Adrian laughed and walked to the chair. “Aren’t you happy to see me, Harri?”

“What are you doing here, Adrian? H-how did you find me?” She sat down slowly, playing nervously with her fingers.

“Mother told me that you have returned to the company so, I decided to pay you a visit since you decided to cut me out of your life.” Adrian forced a smile, making Harriett feel even worse than she already did.

“You should have called at least, Harriett. You cutting me out like that only made it look like the accusations were true. That was a really selfish move on your part, you know.” Adrian chuckled sadly, his eyes filled with hurt as he stared at Harriett.

He had to admit, she had changed a lot and the good part was that

    Damien had barely made it out of the building when his phone rang. He already knew the consequences of his action before he went ahead with it but this time, he was determined to face whatever was coming.“Damien, have you suddenly gone mad?!” His mother yelled through the phone as soon as the call went through. “Mum, can you listen to me first-”“Do not tell me to listen, Damien! What has come over you? It’s that bitch, isn’t it? She’s the one manipulating you, isn’t it?” Stacy said, her body shaking in anger.Damien leaned back on his car seat and pinched the bridge of his nose. If only she would let him explain himself.“Come home immediately!” She said and hung up. Just as that call ended, his phone buzzed and this time it was his brother calling. Damien already knew why he was calling so he declined the call and drove to his parent’s house.**“You didn’t tell me that Damien already agreed to the marriage, Evelyn! Gosh! I can’t wait for the wedding.” Her mother squealed happil

    “I missed you, Evelyn.” Damien forced the words out of his throat as his face squeezed in disgust. He released his hold on her arm a bit, only touching her lightly.Evelyn on the other hand, couldn’t believe her ears. When the words left Damien’s lips, she had to pinch herself repeatedly to be sure that she wasn’t dreaming. When it was confirmed that he actually said those words, a victorious smile appeared on her face and she pushed herself deeper into the hug. “I missed you too, Damien.” She whimpered, smiling evilly as she rested her head on his shoulders.A few moments later, Damien pulled away from the hug and wore a fake smile on his face.“Come on.” He pulled her into the house and made her wait in the living room as he went into his own room to freshen up.He had barely finished changing into new clothes when she knocked on his door.'Why the fuck did she follow me up here?' He groaned, wondering why she couldn't just wait a few minutes for him downstairs.“Give me a m

  • The Billionaire's Regret    Harriet's Win

    Harriett turned off the engine and pulled her seatbelt out before leaning in to pick Adrian from the back seat. Thankfully, she hadn’t been noticed by the newly engaged couple so she quickly shut the car door and walked towards them… really slowly. She held Addison in her arms and let Adrian walk on his own which was him pretty much running as he couldn’t wait to meet his father. Damien parked his car and was about stepping out when he saw a woman and two children. When he looked further, he realized that it was none other than Harriett and his children. Damien felt his heart jump out of his chest as instant fear gripped him but, he maintained his composure nonetheless.Evelyn, on the other hand, saw that his attention was fixed at a particular direction and turned to see what it was that he was so focused on. When she did, she was met with a very pleasing sight. Today would make it a week since the challenge was made and Harriett was still unable to make Damien get on his knees. Ins

    As Harriett drove off with the twins, it was finally just Evelyn and Damien that were left at the parking lot. Getting up from his knees, Damien finally remembered that he wasn’t alone and that Evelyn had been there all along. “Evel-” “We’ll talk about it later. Your parents are waiting.” Evelyn said with a straight face and walked towards the front door of the mansion. “Welcome. I didn’t expect you guys to be this late.” Stacy forced a smile out as she reluctantly gave Evelyn a side hug. “We had a small situation.” Damien answered and Stacy immediately understood that they must have bumped into Harriett and the twins. That made her feel happy as she knew that her son must have fallen at Harriet’s feet in front of Evelyn once again. Judging from the scowl on Evelyn’s baked face, she wasn’t wrong. “Errm.. thank you for inviting me over, mother. I can call you that, right? I mean, we’re about to be family so..” She laughed, pretending to like or care about Damien’s family. All the

    Harriet dropped the twins off at the kindergarten before driving to work. All through the working hours, she found herself unable to focus as her thoughts kept drifting to a certain ex-husband of hers and his new fiancé. “Miss Edwards?” Collin tapped the door softly for the umpteenth time until he was finally able to get her attention. “Collin. What is it?” She cleared her throat and readjusted her posture, wondering if he had been there for a long time. She hated how much she had been zoning out at work. “You can call it a day, Miss. I already cleared your schedule for the afternoon and evening so, you can go home. You don’t really look so good.” Collin said genuinely as he watched her tired eyes stare at him. He had been watching her since she arrived and without anyone telling him, he knew that she won’t be able to work properly as she seemed to have a lot on her mind. Leaving the office early wasn’t going to affect her either as she had already taken care of most of the week’s

    As Damien walked out of the company and headed to his car, his phone rang. A groan left his lips when he saw who was on the phone but he didn’t have a choice so, he reluctantly picked up the phone. “What is it, Evelyn?” He said as he connected his phone to his airpod with a frown as he ignited the car and begun driving to his house. “Damien..” Evelyn’s voice was low as though she had been crying. Damien didn’t care about her one bit but he wasn’t an animal and he certainly wasn’t raised to ignore people in need. “Is everything alright with you?” He asked when he heard a sniff, confirming his suspicion. Knowing Evelyn, he wouldn’t be surprised if this was a pretense. “I just got a call from mum… Dad has..” She started but another buzzed through his phone and Damien’s heart raced when he saw that it was Harriett who was calling. It felt unreal as she had never called him since the divorce. He was always the one reaching out to her. Without wasting much time, Damien quickly ended Eve

    “She was with children. I suggest we kill them if we don’t want any problems. What do you say?” The man said over the phone.“What?” Evelyn screamed, pulling her hair harshly out of annoyance. “Are you stupid or you’re just trying to ruin me?” She groaned. Evelyn wasn’t stupid. She knew how much Damien cherished his children and if news reaches him about their disappearance, he would go to the ends of the earth to find them. As far as she was concerned, this man has made a big mistake by taking the kids with him.“I couldn’t kidnap the woman and leave the children, that’ll be fucking suspicious! They’ll instantly know that whoever did it was only after Harriett.” He explained, trying to bail himself out of the situation.“You should have been careful! How on earth will you kidnap her on her back from a kindergarten and think that she wouldn’t be with children? What are you, an idiot?” She complained angrily. One thing Evelyn knew so well about Damien was that he doesn’t jok

    Harriet’s eyes fluttered open, preparing to be with met with a bright light. Instead, she is welcomed by thick darkness. Her only source of light was from a small window which was doing nothing to help the situation in the room. As she looked around, her memories finally came back to her. “My children.” Was the only words that left her lips as she crawled around the tiny room, her knees coming in contact with the cold concrete floor. She was sure her knees would be bruised after but she didn’t care. All she wanted was to be sure her children were okay. After crawling around the poorly lighted room for two minutes, she realized that her children were no where near her. Panic setting in, she quickly ran to the door and began banging loudly. “Help! Someone, please. Help!” She screamed for as much as her lungs could carry her, hitting the door with her strength. She continued for a few minutes before finally hearing footsteps from the other side. The sound of keys clanked in her ears

    “She is all by herself, boss. This is the perfect time to take her. Give us the order and consider it done.” One of the men said into the phone with his eyes still glued to Lily as she headed back to the hospital on foot.A sigh was heard from the line, a sign of hesitation from Louis and one of the men concluded that Louis wouldn’t be able to give the order since Lily was his ex-girlfriend. So, he gave a sign to the man who was on the call with him, telling him to go ahead with the initial plan regardless of what Louis instructs.“What is your conclusion, boss?” The man asked, hoping Louis would go ahead with the plan but, there was still hesitation from him so, they decided to end the call and kidnap Lily before she was completely out of sight.They left their hiding place and began approaching Lily but just as they were about to get close to her, Tony came out of nowhere and wrapped his hands around her, oblivious to what was about to happen. The men immediately took a U-turn and r

    “Also, the man she is with now is Tony Martinez, the owner of TM Hospital.”At the mention of Tony’s name, a frown appeared on Mehdi’s face as he visibly tensed up. “Tony Martinez?” He asked again to be sure Louis didn’t make a mistake.“Are you sure?”“Yes, Draco. I have seen him in person myself.” Louis replied and Mehdi gritted his teeth in anger.Tony was no stranger to him. He had received a lot of donations from Tony and had even given his donations to Tony’s hospital. He had exchanged pleasantries with him at various events, parties, and award ceremonies so, he knew that Tony was a patriotic citizen who frowned at corruption.If Louis’s girlfriend opens her mouth and reveals his secret to Tony, he is sure he and his gang will be done for.Draco let out a long sigh, his face hardening as he processed the information he had just received. “I know Tony Martinez alright. We’ve met a few times. Events, awards, parties… and I can tell you this, he is a fucking poster boy for patrioti

    “Martin is back, and he wants you at the hideout immediately. I think Drogo heard about the shootout you ordered.” Louis’s throat went dry, and he felt his heart jump out of his chest as he listened to the last part. He wasn’t as brave as he was when he ordered the shootout before getting confirmation from Martin, who was his superior. “H-how the fuck did that happen? Did anyone snitch?” He asked in an unstable voice. “No one needed to, man. It’s all over the news and everyone knows that you and Martin control this district. If Martin didn’t order the shootout, it means you did. It’s quite obvious.” The man over the phone replied. “Shit!” he exclaimed. “Come quickly. Drogo is angry.” The man said, and ended the call, leaving Louis to wallow in fear. He quickly put on his jacket, threw his phone into one of his pockets , grabbed his wallet and dashed out of his apartment. As he drove to the hideout, he searched his mind for a suitable lie that would get him out of the

    “Stay with me tonight,” Lily whispered, clutching Tony’s arms like he would disappear if she let him go. “You want us to spend the night together. Are you sure about this?” Tony asked, a small smile making its way to his lips. Lily was always running from him and avoiding times like this, but here she was suggesting that they spend the night together. Lily’s eyes widened, and her cheeks reddened as she finally understood his words. “I didn’t mean it like that!” She gasped, letting go of his hands and shaking her head to get rid of the obscene thoughts. Seeing her flushed face, Tony laughed. “I was only teasing you, Lily. I know you didn’t mean it in that way.” He clarified, chuckling at her. He then brought his fingers to her face and caressed her cheek, his eyes holding sincerity. “That doesn’t mean it isn’t going to happen one day and believe me, Lily, that day is near.” He whispered as his thumb brushed her lip and Lily’s breath hitched, butterflies erupting in her bel

    “I…I think I should head upstairs.” Lily said quietly, breaking the piercing silence. Tony immediately turned to her, wanting to reach out to her and hold her in his arms.“Wait!” Rachael called out before Lily stood up and grabbed her hand calmly. “You know I have nothing but love for you in my heart, right?” She asked, her eyes filled with a mix of sadness and frustration.Lily moved her lips to give a reply but no words came out.“I care about you just as much as Tony does,” Rachael said and shook her head, deciding to rephrase her sentence. “Okay, maybe not as much as Tony but I do care for you. I want you to be safe and I want you to be happy but, not at the expense of my brother’s life.” Rachael said with tears in her eyes.She wasn’t going to let her brother make a decision that could end his life as long as she was alive, even if it meant taking Lily out of his life. All she wanted was her brother’s safety.She had only known Lily for a few weeks after all. She wasn’t going t

    Later that day, Lily and Tony finally clocked out of the hospital after what was the most stressful day for Lily since she resumed. Her emotions were on a rollercoaster and so were her hands and feet as she was assigned to a doctor to help with the massive inflow of critical patients.A large number of nurses and doctors were staying through the night to watch the patients but, Tony knew that Lily wasn’t in the right state of mind to have an all-nighter at the hospital so, he spoke to Dr. Lorey and had another nurse take her place.“She isn’t feeling well, Lorey, and the last thing I’d want is for her health to deteriorate. I am sorry that I’m doing this when the hospital needs all the hands it can get.” He apologized.“I understand, Tony. I saw her at the emergency ward and she looked like she would fall at any minute. I was going to tell you to take her home. I’m sure the others will understand.” Dr Lorey said with a warm smile and Tony thanked her before leaving to get Lily who was

    “I have something to tell you!” They choruses at the same time, surprising each other. “You go first.” Tony decided to be a gentleman and hear what she had to say first but, Lily was too curious about his information to let things be. “No. Let me hear what you have to say first.” She countered, hoping to buy some time for herself. Shaking his head in refusal, Tony pressed. “You go first, Lily. Don’t worry, I won't chicken out.” He added with a reassuring smile. After a few seconds, Lily nodded and decided to go first. “I…” She started but was interrupted by Tony. “Wait! I don't think it's wise to do this here.” He said, looking around. “Come with me.” Tony grabbed her hand and led her to his office, ignoring the stares from some of the nurses. Lily didn’t care anymore about what others had to say or their judgmental stares, not when her life was in danger. She just wished that the nurses would pay more attention to their critical patients rather than prying into her and T

    Unknown Number: [You have one week, Lily.]With shaky hands, Lily dropped her phone to the ground and clasped her hands around her mouth, stopping her screams from leaving the room. She didn’t need anyone to tell her who the sender was.There was only one person on the face of the earth who could threaten her in such a gruesome manner.Louis Moreau.Suddenly, all Lily could hear was the screams coming from the emergency ward which was filled with people who had been victims of the gang shooting and all she could think of was Louis’s text.“Did he do that just to send a warning to me?” She thought in a shaky breath and her heart hammered against her chest, almost as if it would explode.“Did so many people die just because of me? Am I responsible for these cries of agony?” Hot tears trickled down her cheeks as the realization dawned on her.Louis was willing to do anything to get her back even if it meant killing a hundred people.This made her realize that he could hurt Tony or even R

    “Lily. She is the connection I have with them. Her ex-boyfriend is a member of the gang.” Tony revealed with a straight face, awaiting Dr Raph’s reply. A few seconds pass and nothing is heard from him but just as Tony opens his mouth to speak again, Dr Raph finally speaks up. “What?!” He yells, loud enough for anyone who is outside the office to hear. “What the fuck did you just say?” “Quiet down, Man. This is an office.” Tony scolded, shaking his head but Dr Raph was not having it. Not when he had just dropped a bomb that could affect him and the entire hospital if not handled properly. “Don’t fucking tell me to calm down, Tony. Don’t! How the fuck did you get involved with a girl like that?” The words left his mouth before he could caution himself. Tony immediately shot him a harsh glare and he immediately cleared his throat before rephrasing his sentence. “Don’t get me wrong, Tony. Lily is a nice and hardworking girl. I have seen that but, she was dating a gang member! Doesn’t
