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
FrankSeeing here right now in front of me was creating more hopes from the other side. She must get up and be with me. I waited for her and now that I have a chance to let her feel the love that she deserved.“I love you.”I whispered as I lean toward her. This must be the most horrifying situation for me, and I wasn’t prepare for this I never thought she would have a cardiac arrest. She must have been burning out herself even since I allowed her to work back.The corporate world doesn’t fit her. I tightened my fist while staring her situation now. But I should keep my promise to her. I have no choice this time and I did not want to see you like this. Started the day that she worked with Demir Krumpus was becoming more stressful.I knew how it felt to work with someone you hated the most but she has to endure it, and because of that her health compromises like now.“Babe?”Her finger moved and I knew she could hear me. At least the worried in me became less because I know that soon s
“Good evening Mr. Krumpus, this way please.”Tall, well trim beard and the elegance on his walk made it clear to every person in the restaurant that he was not just an ordinary man. Mr. Krumpus did not mind all the employees who greeted him. He walked straight at the room where the concierge took him.“Kindly wait for Mr. Miller, he’ll join you here soon.”The woman smiled and served some cold drinks to Mr. Krumpus.Mr. Krumpus was just staring at the woman and his eyes were pinned on his button chest and made him stunned by the woman. He lightly shook his head.“What is this kind of thing?” he asked with a hoarse voice and showed displease by the taste of his drink.The woman smiled. “It’s chamomile tea, one of the finest drink that we have here in the restaurant.”Threw this thing and I do not need it. I want a glass of vodka.”Then the lady slightly bow her head and said. “I am sorry Mr. Krumpus but this is a find dine restaurant and we don’t serve vodka.”Mr. Krumpus folded his ar
FrankIt felt like a lost soul around here after talking to the doctor of Grace I did not know how I would react normally. I inhaled deeply and was now frightened to face her. I wanted to make it more light at this point and I was thinking the positive way that the result of her laboratory test was not in a harm way.“Babe,” I whispered and hugged her immediately after realizing that I missed her so much.“Frank? Where have you been? I have been waiting for you and so many men were in here a while ago.. I though you were…”Grace could not continue her words, and the feeling of lost was still in her head at the moment. She sobbed in my arms and let out the feeling that she kept inside.“What’s wrong, babe? Is there something hurting? Should I call the doctor?”I was in panic seeing her crying and no words from her. I sighed deeply and just hugged her tight, maybe she wanted a good hug, or someone to cry on. These thought ran through my head and feeling the warmth of her body made me ea
Grace“Who is that?” I curiously asked after seeing his phone vibrated and unregistered number appeared on his phone.He quickly shook his head. “Nothing, it was just a prank call.”My brows frowned and so I answered it by myself, Frank stopped me but he wasn’t successful to do it. I listened from the other line and finally heard the voice.“Selin Johnson?”I let out a deep sigh, it was Sena my best friend. I gasped and tried to cover my mouth so she would not hear any words coming from me.“Look, Selin. I just want to say I’m sorry because I left you alone. I heard what happened and believe me I wanted to help you that time but Demir threatened me if I did.”My eyes widened after hearing it from my bestfriend. I have so many questions in my head but I just want to keep it to myself from now on.“I’ve heard about Mr. Johnson and I am sorry for your lost once again. I hope you moved on and your baby must be very happy to see you every day smiling.”Tears suddenly fell on my cheeks and
I am now inside the car and I was just there driving alone. I requested to have no body guard around after I talked to Frank. At first Frank was not convince of my reasons eventually he agreed to my request.“I’ll inform you once I arrive there, babe,” I stopped the car and waited for the traffic lights to be in green and while I was talking to Frank I tried to give him more information about the agenda of the meeting for tonight.“I should tell our men, babe, please, I am dying here knowing that you are alone there,”I massaged my nape knowing that he was so worried about me. I knew it and I always felt it from him because he was the reason why I felt important once again in my life. the reason why I should move forward and keep fighting.“No, don’t worry once I arrive there I’ll inform you as soon as possible. Bye,”I cut the line quickly because the light turned green already and as a matter of fact some cares were busting their horns at me.Then, I drove fast my car just for me no
Grace parked her car a few kilometres away from their home. She looked at herself from the mirror and put more concealer on her swollen eyes.“I should have put more so Frank won’t ask me questions about this.”She sighed deeply before she started the engine and the guard quickly opened the gate for her. She gave them the keys to park the car.“Is Frank here?”“No, Ma’am.”Grace nodded and walked straight to the house. She looked around and felt empty but she felt tired today even though she did not do anything tiring. Of course before she headed to the bedroom she walked to her baby’s room.“I met your dad, he seemed not fine but I hope he’ll move on soon.”The she looked up to the ceiling and fan herself to stop crying. But she could not because every time she would avoid it there was circumstances that made them cross together their path.“I’ll do my promise to you baby.”Then, she went straight to the shower room as she could not control her emotion and took her pills immediately.
On the other hand Demir was at the company having meeting with all the major investors of his company.“What could be the possible solution for this?”“People were trying to boycott our service which was not good for all of us.”“The company will collapse either way.”Many of them were trying to give a possible answers the conflict that they went by the public. It has been a couple of weeks and Demir was still on it’s way on making it possible to be both in good side.“Mr. Krumpus we have to make a solution as soon as possible before the company collapse and went to nothing but debt in the end.”One of the board members said but Demir was just staring at the table and did not answer. Many of the investors were waiting for an answer but they did not get anything. Instead he just let himself heard everything from his investors so he could end it with a solution. “We will create a tv commercial so it will convince the public that our service will not just full of shit! We will show them
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
