Grace MillerI could not understand why this man was trying to get close to me. He’s just annoying and not giving me enough time to be on my decisions. He never changed.“I know you have a wife and so it’s better if you get home and be with her.” I said sarcastically while his eyes were on the road.He chuckled insultingly. “Does it bother you that I have a wife?”His face was serious and I could barely see the jaw was clenching. I crossed my arms and rolled my eyes.“I don’t like having an affair Mr. Krumpus.” I stated and let my eyes just focus at the window.The thing of being with him was like having an energy that made me lurk more on him. I was not expecting that he was like this, and everything was like a show in the past. I looked at him but he did not answer, now I wasn’t sure if he really liked me or not.As we arrived at the hospital silence was just around the corner of his car. Even though he wasn’t talking that much I could still feel his care on me. He opened the door a
Grace Miller widened her eyes after seeing the clock at nine in the morning. She quickly get up and ran on the side of that bed which almost made her fall.“Damn it!” she mumbled while changing her clothes.She tiptoed fast while on the stairs and when she arrived in the kitchen she could smell the mouth-watering food.“Frank?”“Oh there you are! Come and sit right here. I’ve prepared something for you.” Frank was smiling at her and put the food on the plates.Grace could not understand what was happening. “I should be the one who is doing this.”She was about to get the serving spoon but Frank stopped her.“I told you just sit down and eat with me, that’s the best thing you can do for me.”Frank kissed her on the lips and just made her wait for him to finish plating their food.“Is there something special occasion today? I mean is there something I forgot on today?” Grace was still wondering and never get used on being like this or treated as a princess by someone else.Frank chuckle
Meanwhile Grace Miller was in the company and waiting for her husband to be on time. She has so many appointments to accomplish today because it’s been a couple of days for her to get back to work once again.“Babe, where are you?” she curiously asked while her phone was on the loud speaker mode.“I am on my way.”She sighed heavily and quite worried if his meeting with Mr. Krumpus might do good news or not.“Is there something wrong?” she curiously asked once again because she knew her husband won’t be just a quiet type of person after having a meeting.“Should I be worry about anything?” Frank answered and let out a heavy sigh.Grace could heart it and because of that she answered quickly. “I’m just worried that my decision of investing to that company might be a burden for you, especially financially.”“Nothing to worry about financially because I can even buy that company, and you know that right?” he sighed and push the horn of his car and added. “I’ll be there in a minute, babe.
Demir walked through the hallways while his vision was getting cloudier. He noticed someone and for him it was Selin.“Selin!”He kept whispering her name and people around were not sure if they would help him or not. Demir hit the ground and many people stopped and screamed from what happened to him.***“What the hell he was doing?!”Laura mumbled and drove fast with her car. She could not imagine herself picked him up while being so drunk in the club. The club owner called her and give her noticed about the situation of her husband.When she arrived at the club, Laura quickly park the car on the empty space and her eyes widened after seeing Demir.“Oh my God!”She quickly get off the car after seeing Demir leaning on the trash bin behind him. Laura could smell the liquor from him and it was just not on her taste of alcohol.“Demir!” she kept calling his name and tapped his cheeks but Demir just whimpered and smiled to her.“What the hell is wrong with you?!” She shouted at him, and
Grace Miller“Frank, I want to go home.”“Shh, just ignore them. Act like you are not affected after all they have known you as my wife.”Frank handed her a glass of wine just to make sure that she might be calm by having it on her throat.“If you let them judge you then you are guilty. Chin up babe, you are the best among the rest here.”Grace just sparingly smiled and held tightly on his hand but it felt uncomfortable to see the stares of the people at the party.“Just enjoy the party babe and always be on my side.” Frank added and smiled to her.Grace was having a hard time fighting this discomfort of being surrounded by many people and seeing them like having a judgement to her was killing her from within. But she has to fight it and as long as Frank was still there for her, she should have fight this kind of feeling she have in her mind.“Babe I need to go to the powder room.” Grace walked toward the hallways where the receptionist pointed the direction for the powder room.But t
“Stop it! Ouch!” Grace Miller tried to hold back her hair but she could not convince Laura to stop. Instead she tried to kick her from the back but she could not even reach her.“You f*cking deserve it because you are such a whore!” Laura stumbled and pulled more of Grace’s hair from behind. She could not believe that she was holding Demir’s hand and staring at her like a gawking bird from the wild.Laura added. “Don’t you ever touch my husband!”Demir quickly tried to stop Laura and even removed her hair from Grace Millers’ but he could not even convince her instead the more he tried to stop her, made Laura become more aggressive.“You are out of your hand!” Demir hold tighter on her hand and even tried to pull out her finger through Grace’s hair.“This is absurd, Mr. Krumpus! S-stop your wife!” Grace insisted and still in the midst of letting go from her hands. Then, she took a chance by seeing the angle of Laura and Demir. She twisted a bit more and saw the possibilities but she co
GraceI don’t understand why was he acting up like this. Frank was quite weird when it regards to Demir and Laura.“Just trust me babe. I can play them with my fingers.”Good thing he easily believe in me. Was he? I sighed and held Frank’s hand while we both enjoyed the whole night and finally I am at peace because Laura was not here anymore.“You are my best friend, remember?”It suddenly haunted me with the thought of Laura to me. I did not know that she valued our friendship before. I turned and gently removed the arms of Frank.Finally we’re home and my husband was now peacefully sleeping in our bed. I walked toward the kitchen and made some tea. I placed my hand on my chest because I could the fast beat of it.Inhaling deeply and gently massaged it. I even forgot to see a doctor these days although they had me some medications still I could not even feel the effect of it.“Are you okay babe?”“Yeah, I am just having tea. Do you want some?”Frank shook his head gave me a kiss befo
The nurses and doctors were in a hurry to bring the things they needed in case of another emergency surgery for Grace Miller. While Frank was outside the emergency room and pacing at the hallways.“Damn it!” Frank mumbled and was impatient already. He never expected that she would have another episode. He tightened his fist and was hoping that she would be fine at this time.“Defibrillators” doctor said and was in a hurry to perform it because he knew it was life and death.Nurses were waiting for her to survive this episode once more. They did everything they could and for a second they heard her pulse.Everyone was happy to see the line went back in track. The doctor went out from the emergency room and saw Mr. Miller waiting.“Good thing you decided her to be here in the hospital.”Frank furrowed his brows. “What do you mean by this?”“She almost dies because of heart attack, Mr. Miller.” Then the doctor removed the mask. “You have to be careful with her and having another episode
Demir We both fell on the floor and I smiled after I saw her face. She really remind of Selin. “Thank you for being with me this far.” I whispered to her and her eyes were just pinned on me. It did not move nor react to what I said. The police quickly took me away from her then I saw the pool of blood around her. I tried to resist from dragging me away from her because I want to check on her. My tears suddenly fell and I realized that she caught the bullet that was supposed for me. “Grace get up!” I shouted and as the police pulled me away from the scene I did not know what happened to her. Trials after trials of defending myself from being guilty about the case that the people filled against me and I stayed silent and speak only if the judge asked me to say any word. I did not mind being in jailed but Harry was there and he even helped me to find a public attorney which made my heart full but in the end the ewe both found out that it was Frank Miller who created everything. “Wh
SelinI could not stand his stare, my knes were melting down and I knew he could notice it. I looked away from the thought that he might caught me being awkward and all but it surprised me to see him lied down on the couch and was catching his breath while he closed his eyes.“What happened? Did he do this to you?! His men?!” I asked him a couple of times but he remain silent and did not even say any single word.I walked closer to him and realized that his body temperature was quite high.“Oh shit! You are having fever!” then, I quickly ran toward the bedroom and as memories flashes through my mind I strongly shook my head because this was not the right to time to remember it.I searched every single drawers and cabinets in our old room and finally I found the first aid kit that he always kept away from me.“Here take this, you need to lower down your body temperature,” I explained to him.Good thing I found one and so when I was about to leave him, I felt his hand covered mine.“Don
“Mr. Krumpus?”Demir froze after hearing the man called his name. He closed his eyes tightly and rolled his fist.“Am I right you’re Demir Krumpus?” the man was chuckling while looking at Demir from head to toe.“Holy sh*t! It’s you.” then he put down his pen on the table and went back to Demir. “What are you doing? And who is that for?” “Look at these babe, Demir Krumpus brought you flowers, can you believe that?”Demir was laughing at him and saw Grace was massaging her temples.“Frank stop it!”Frank continued laughing while staring at Demir. He could not believe that Demir would be like this.“I couldn’t believe that you still have the guts to be here with us and giving flowers to my wife was too much.” his tone suddenly change into serious one.“Leave him alone,” Grace said just to stop her husband from humiliating Demir. She could see that the employees were staring at her office so she pressed the red button to make the wall tinted and no one could ever guess what wa
Silence were both blowing between them, Mrs. Miller quickly stepped back just like something electrocuted felt on her skin. A sparingly smiled appeared on her face.No one was talking and their eyes were just spitting the words through staring at one another.Demir was just out of words to see her and nervousness was consuming his mind.“So, going home?”Mrs. Miller shook her head. “I need to get back to the office.”They both sat on the chair as Demir offered her one. Awkwardness, the only thing that they both felt right now.“Take care of yourself, Mrs. Miller,”“I do, it’s just that I have so many things to do because of the backlogs and lapses happened during your time in Krumpus.”Demir let out a heavy sighed, “Do you need a hand with those documents? I mean just business, I will look after on it and fixed it.”“You don’t have to, focus on your medications and be well so your wife will be happy with you.”Mrs. Miller sipped her coffee and looked away because she could not stop he
Selin“Why I am crying?”I immediately wiped the tears from my cheeks because I did not want anyone to witness my weaknesses besides they might have thought that Demir and I had an argument or something.“Mrs. Krumpus, the investors… I’m sorry.”Jill saw me and as I heard she closed the door of my office. My tears went more to flood my makeup. I just could not stop this anymore.Memories hit me like a punch bag when I saw him cried in front of me. His words affected me that made me feel more guilty of what did I do regards his position in the company.Then, my phone rang, and I sniffed a couple of times before I answered it.“Babe,”It’s facetalk so I have no choice but to smile widely just to make sure he would not be suspicious at all.“Did you cry?”I strongly shook my head. “No, I was just applying my mascara when I accidentally pinch my eyes because of your call.”“Oh my god! DO you want me to call our doctor?”I chuckled and said. “Of course not! This is normal and it will be go
“Get your filthy hands off me!” Laura squealed as the two women was trying to make her steadily uso they could at least inject a medication for her.“Ma’am, stay still because you need this for you not to get any infections from your wounds.” one of the nurses said who was trying to be patient on her.“I don’t need it! I am perfectly fine, can’t you see? I can still my body parts, so why are you so bothered to me?!”Laura kept on fighting with them because she did not want to be injected by some sort of medication. The last time she had it resulted into more troublesome on her.“I have rights to refuse that medication from this hospital! I need my lawyer!” she kept it saying to the nurses over and over again but they refused to listen to her.“She’s always being tough!”“I think we need to add more just to make sure that she will calm down, right?”Laura heard it and was trying to move back from the nurses but one of them was holding tight on her arms. She shook her head more than twi
“I know you can’t do it but please believe me our daughter needs you. I beg you to spare him from all your confusions and hatred against me.”“Fuck!” Demir screamed and all the information that he could not even process in his mind was creating a headache to him.“Stop saying anything! You are making my head hurt!” Demir said sarcastically and walked toward the car and did not wait for Laura.Laura blinked her eyes a couple of times because she did not get any answer from him. All she ever wanted was to make sure that Demir could have at least gave empathy to her daughter. She quickly wiped her tears and the disappointment was written all over her face.She inhaled deeply and changed her facial expression before she entered the car.Silence were in between them and so Demir was just staring at the window once more. All throughout their way both of them were not saying any words but Laura was furrowed on her brows while her eyes was on the road.“Slowly!” Demir said as he noticed that
“That’s right, slowly and you will learn everything in a matter of time.” Laura smiled at him.The fact that she was with him for a couple of months now and Laura was not losing hope that Demir would soon be back to himself.“Thank you, Laura. I know how hard it is to take care of me.” he smiled sparingly and looked away.“You don’t have to mention it because I know that soon you’ll be back in your normal self.”Her eyes showed an assurance for him not to worry about anything.Demir stood up and walked toward the door. “What else should I remember?” then he sighed. “I miss Selin. I want to talk to her.”Laura looked away and let out a heavy sighed. “You have to understand that you a temporary loss of memory. The doctors said that it might come back naturally, so you don’t need to pressure yourself.”Demir removed her hands wrapped around his waist. “I know about that but I want to be back in the office. You know it’s so boring here in the house.”“Uh- yeah I- I know how workaholic you
Selin“These are all the photos from the event, Mrs. Miller.”It’s been a couple of weeks since I took over the management of Krumpus Company and since I got the highest share from the company I made sure that I will be the one who will get the CEO position and replaced Demir.“What about the flowers?” My secretary curiously asked.“Sent it to Mr. Krumpus.”He has been in and out from the hospital, and the doctors said that having a seizure was normal to a stroke patient. I stared around the entire office and the changes in the interior was making it more relaxing and erased the past.“Alright, Mrs. Krumpus. Anything else before I leave?” she smiled at me.Then, I smiled back. “Nothing, you may now get back to work,”When I took over this position I always made sure that my secretary will spray my favorite scent and always has a fresh flowers on the table. It’s been a couple of weeks since I became the CEO and yet many things had happened, I hope my mother would see this.Every docume
