Carter was about to step into the car when his phone rang. “ Hello, Mr. Kelvin ”.“ How are you doing and how is Audrey, trust that you are treating her well? ”.“ What can I say, I am doing my best, and guess what, she is pregnant ”? “ Wow! That is such lovely news, congrats! ”.“ Thank you, sir, so how is the case coming up?”.“ That is why I called, Norbert has been discharged from the hospital, it is really difficult for him right now, and they badly want to sell the house ”.“ Do you think you have a strong case against them? ”.“Of course, I drafted that will, they are not getting that house, and they are fully aware of that because I have been getting life threats ”.“ What!!”.“ Yes, shots were fired at me last night on my way back from the office, Audrey needs to be careful, especially now that she is pregnant ”.“ And you suspect that they might be the one behind these? ”.“ Remember the case you helped me reopen, I was confronted by Summer, she was so furious and threaten
Audrey was excited to resume work the next day and left early while Carter drove to the mansion. He had promised Chloe he was going to accompany her to her first doctor's appointment. Arriving at the mansion, Chloe was already dressed in a red designer gown, he also noticed that her stomach was beginning to show, and he felt sorry for her at that moment. When he first met Chloe, she was very ambitious and had her priorities straight about what she wanted to do with her life. But because of a drunk night where she had only offered to help, she's forced to leave all of her goals behind. That being said, Carter had stayed two days with Audrey since the doctor confirmed her pregnancy, and he knew she was going through a lot, especially at night. And that made him wonder how Chloe was coping with the sickness alone. “ You came, I was scared that you weren't going to show up ”.“ I told you the other time, I always keep to my word ”. A blank expression on his face as he collects her
Audrey knew instantly that Chloe was not here for a peace talk and made her way to take off, but Chloe clasped her hand, quelling her from taking any step forward. “ You can't leave, not yet, you have to listen to me and listen prudently”.Chloe adjusted the strap of her short maternity gown, a small baby pump was slightly visible, although she still maintained a slender figure. “ I took all your designs away from you at college right, you were pissed about it and hate me so much, well, watch out now because I am going to take everything you hold dearly from you ”.“ I will take away your dear husband whom you love so much, I will take your workplace away from you and also…. ”.“ Will you shut up! That is all you are capable of doing, talking. I promised Carter that I won't make trouble for him again, so I am just going to ignore you and pretend that you were not here this morning ”.Audrey exclaimed and made her way to leave, but Chloe grabbed her hand, holding it tightly. “ I am
The midwife gave a brisk glimpse at Chloe first who signaled her to speak, and then her entire focus was on Carter. “ We tried our best, but the fall was brutal, which caused excessive bleeding. I am sorry, but we lost the baby ”.The midwife exclaims as she watches his expression. Carter let out a long sigh and lower his head, not sure of how to react to the news, but his thought was disrupted by the loud wailing that came from Chloe. “ Oh no, my poor baby, she didn't do anything to deserve this…. An innocent child who had no hand in the grudge she leaned against me, and yet, she chose to go about it this way ”.....“ I will excuse you all ”. The midwife spoke and walked out of the ward, while Liam offered himself a seat, watching the scene that was unfolding before him. “ Chloe, you have to calm down, it has already happened, there is nothing that anyone can do about it ”.“ Is this what you are going to say? Carter, I understand that she is your wife and have been trying to get
Carter stormed the precinct along with Emma, his eyes dark and filled with rage, yet he still maintained his equanimity and domineering attitude. “ Good day, sir ”. One of the cops greeted, and he instantly spotted Liam together with his lawyer while Audrey had a handcuff on. Audrey was scorching with rage that he felt like her glare was going to kill him. “ What the hell is going on here!! ” he roared, causing them all to startle. “ Mr. Colton, you are here ”. One of the officers exclaims, and he extends his hand for a handshake, but Carter ignores him, walking straight to Audrey. He grabs the chair close to her, sitting close to her, he squeezes her hand softly, a tender gaze at her. “ How are you doing, did they hurt you? ”.“ What do you care, weren't you the one who sent them to me? ”.“ Why would you think I would do that to you, I am so sorry this happened, and I promise to make it right ”?“ Mr. Colton, please settle down, we just acquired the video clip from your compan
Audrey had just finished preparing most of the meal when the doorbell rang, so she excitedly went ahead to open the door as she couldn't wait to tell Emma about the seafood she bought. “ Hi dear, I hope that I am not in the wrong place? ”. A tall gentleman stood before her with a tender smile that could warm any heart. “ Good day, you must be Doctor Eliot? ”.“ Puff… For a moment there, I thought I got the wrong address, is Carter home? ”.“ Yes, please come in ”. Audrey opened the door wide, letting him step into her abode before shutting the door behind her. A smirk spread across his face as he walks I to the living room, staring at the entire space. “ I must say, this is not what I expected when I came to this place ”.“ I know, I frequently get that from friends and family, but believe me, I love it here, it is quite peaceful and most of it, we are together without interruption ”.“ Now I see why he is madly in love with you ”.“ Did he tell you that ”? Audrey asks, but Carter
James stopped to snag his breath, he was now in an adjacent position at the wheel while the two armed men moved closer. Just when Audrey thought he was going to stop, he powered the engine again and without a stop or turn, he drove the car at a high speed. The armed men opened fire at them, shooting without aiming properly, the busy road was now empty while everyone took to their heels. The gunmen scoop into their skater, shooting at the car in front of them that was now driving at a fast pace. “ Audrey duck!! ”. James told her at the top of his voice because he felt that the massive air around them was washing away his words. Audrey, who seemed so shocked, wasn't sure what to do, neither did she hear him properly. “ Audrey, dock and call Mr. Crater right away”.He yelled and this time, she snapped out as the next shot pierced through the glass while making a loud clinging sound as she screamed. “ Audrey you need to calm down and call Mr. Carter now else we are doomed”. James t
Carter had Audrey wrapped around his arm while they both sat at the hospital bed when his phone beeped, showing a message that just came through. Carter unlocks his phone and reads through the message while she bluntly stares at him. ‘ Boss, the gunmen have been apprehended and are in our custody, I have sorted out the cops and await your instructions’.“ I just got a message from James, the gunmen have been apprehended”.“ Really! Did they say who sent them? ”.“ We are yet to find out, but I will get to the bottom of it and will make sure that such a thing does not happen to you next time”.“ Thank you so much, Carter, are we still going to Paris tomorrow? ”.“ If you are still up for it, then why not! ”. He exclaimed and she chuckles softly at him. ***** Carter walks into a dark dungeon covered with roots, rubble, and a puddle of water, he opens an immersed granite door where his men stood with several kinds of weapons of torture stacked there. Two men were tied to a metal cha
Audrey glammed up for work in a sleek jumpsuit, she had an early meeting with the board and felt a bit anxious. She grabbed a cup of coffee from the countertop in her kitchen and hurried outside to her car without noticing the figure who was watching her. Abram had to spend the entire night there since he noticed that her movement wasn't consistent. Without much thought on her mind today, besides being anxious, she stepped into her car and sped away. Abram pursues her behind in his red jeep while trying not to cause attention to himself. But just when he thought he found the right spot, another car intercepted him as he tightened his jaw, trying to stay focused Audrey, who was ignorant of what, was happening behind her, kept on memorizing her new proposal for the company. Abram slowly brought out his pistol, while trying to aim properly, he was able to finally get a good picture of her, he heaved a sigh of relief, trying not to smile. He attempts to pull the trigger, bu
Audrey was striding into a supermarket on a Sunday so that she could buy a few items to prepare a meal for Oliver when she had her first bumped into a lady at the front of the store. “ Oh my God, I am sorry, I wasn't looking directly”.“It's alright, you do not have to apologize”. The pregnant lady spoke as she swirled around to Audrey. “ Emma! ”. Audrey called with her eyes popped open while her eyes landed on her tummy. “ Audrey! My mom told me you came around, I was wondering how long it was going to take before our path crossed ”. Emma spoke in a light tone while her face was fueled with disgust for her dear friend, and although she did not say it. Audrey could feel the rage that filled her eyes. “ I am sorry Emma, but I am in a haste right now, we will have to do this some other time”.Audrey spoke, about to leave, but Emma stopped her at her pace. “Audrey! Are you going to do this even with me? ”.“ What are you talking about? ”.“ I am talking about you avoiding everyone
Audrey felt like she was at the top of the world, she was smiling so brightly that her cheeks started to hurt. “ She looks just like you”. James commented as he stood close to Audrey, she immediately dabbed her tears. “ And she seems smart”.“ Brilliant, just like you. Audrey, I don't know what is going on, but I know that it must be tough on you to look at your daughter and not be able to tell her who you are”. James exclaimed carefully, his tender gaze fixed on Audrey, who let the tears out. “ It was not easy for me all these years, Mr. Cornell bears so many grudges at me, and he will make that I never come close to his son”.“ I am so sorry about that, Mr. Cornell is a dangerous man, I do not know what he has on you, but I believe that if you speak to Carter, he can help you ”.“ No… No… Please, do not tell him that I met with his daughter, … ”.“ Alright, if you like, I could always bring her to visit you on weekends”.“ Thank you so much, James, you don't know what this means
After dinner, Carter retired back to his room, while Chloe followed behind. He had his laptop on while he sat at the desk in his room. “ Carter, I think that Mona might end up growing fond of me”.“ Yes, I think so too, I hear you are responsible for the designs that we're just concluded”.“ Yes, what do you think of them? ”.“ They are lovely, but I doubt that it should be merely a color, don't you think you should add a few spices to it? ”.“ That is not a bad idea, I will amend it tomorrow, but for now, you should come to bed”. Chloe lifts her breast as she creases his bare chest from behind while shutting his laptop with the other hand. “ Chloe, I am sorry, but I have to wrap up a few things”.“ You can wrap them up tomorrow, you know after your therapy with Doctor Elliot finally worked, and you could touch any woman without. I was extremely excited that you could finally be with me without any restrictions, but now, you won't even look at me”. She placed a kiss on his neck so
Audrey inhaled and exhaled deeply before sitting down again, she could tell that she was feeling off since Carter stormed into her office. After staying away for a while, she only came back because she thought that he didn't affect her again. But just the sound of his name, mentioned at her office, sent her over the edge. “ I am sorry Oliver, I have been through so much and so difficult getting used to it”.“ I understand, and if it pleases you, we could leave, start a life together, and you can have all the kids you desire”.He exclaimed as he squeezes her hand gently, but she pulled her hand away, suddenly itching the back of her hair. “It's alright, I know you still haven't warmed up to me, but Audrey, I am here for you, I have been here for you for the past six years, why it can't grow even a little feeling for me”.“ Oliver, it is not as easy as you think, Carter and I shared so much together, I might have gotten over my feelings for him. But I haven't forgotten the memories
Staring at the room Auntie Gianna just finished cleaning, Audrey couldn't help but fall to the ground as she wailed. The time she spent with Carter in that room flooded her memories as she sat there staring at the bed she had shared a happy night with. Auntie Gianna steps in and quickly tucks her into her arms. “ My poor Audrey, you have been through so much, I can't begin to imagine what you have been through, but it's alright, soon things will work out well for you”.She gently taps her back and all Audrey could do was sob loudly until she finally felt exhausted. Audrey decided to take a nap, and Auntie Gianna was excited that she was getting some sleep. *** Carter got dressed for work and was about to leave when a little girl with fair skin had her hair braided into two parts used to him. “ Daddy! You are leaving so early again without breakfast! ”.She exclaimed while her nanny Marianne stood beside her. Carter could live with the memories of Audrey at the condo after she
It was lunch hour when Carter heard a slight knock at the door as Chloe walked through. “ Hi dear, still busy as usual, let's go have lunch”.“ You can go ahead, I will meet you there”.“ You are doing that again, you have to eat well to be able to work well, besides I have something I need to discuss with you”.“ What is it about? ”.“ Our trendy collection has been getting squashed by a recent nameless company that is trying to trend”.“That's odd, it is not every day I see a designer who gets to squash yours, do you need any help? ”.“ Yes, please, help me find a way to get rid of that company or better still, buy it off! ”.“ Chloe, You can't keep trying to get rid of every competition, you need to be able to deal with it by creating a design better than theirs, you need to prove yourself in the fashion world”.“Haven't I done that?”.“ You don't get to do that just once, you need to do it at all times, keep proving yourself until everyone is satisfied. What is the name of this c
Liam and Emma stood in the living room that belonged to Audrey and Carter, while Carter locked himself up in her room. “ What are we going to do? ”. Emma asks as she bites her lower lip. “ I do not know, your friend, she hurt him so badly”.“ I still do not believe that Audrey left just like that, something must be wrong somewhere”.“ You are still trying to defend her, she left her husband and child, that is so cruel of her, who would do something like that? ”.“ Audrey would never leave just like that, I do not care what others say, but Audrey is not a cruel person who would abandon her child”.“ Keep lying to yourself, right now, I do not know how Carter is ever going to be able to come out of this again”.Liam heaved a sigh, falling on the couch. “ Baby Mona needs him now, we have to find a way to help him out”.“ If you want to help out, find your friend and find out why she did such a thing”. Liam exclaims before going back to the door, banging at it loudly even though he kne
Emma kept calling Audrey, but after each rang, it went to voicemail, she had to keep tracing the phone down to Audrey's car which was locked with her phone in it. Emma guessed that Audrey might have found a way to the hospital, but there was no trace of Audrey at KELTINE hospital, so she had to call Carter, who picked up at first. “ Emma! I was just about to call you, I missed my wife's call today, but have been trying to call her, and she is not picking up”.“ She called me earlier today saying she labors and was in traffic, I told her that I was coming to her location, but on getting here, her car and phone were all I found”.“ Oh my God! I doubted that her labor would start this early, you should check her at the hospital”.“ That is what I also thought, but she is not there, there is no trace of her coming anywhere close to the hospital”.“ Where could she be right now, I have to find a way and get home as soon as possible, I will call my security personnel and ask them to find
