Wayne reached over, giving her hand a reassuring squeeze. "Of course, Kaylar. Your happiness is important to me. I understand the sentimental value of things, especially when they hold cherished memories." Wayne smiled at her and asked, "Are you happy now?""Yes, I am! Thank you, Wayne." She replied.Wayne smiled at Kaylar, his eyes twinkling with amusement. "I knew you'd be thrilled," he said, gently squeezing her hand. "You and that car have a special connection."Kaylar giggled, her cheeks blushing with delight. "I can't help it. It's my baby, you know. I've grown so attached to it."Wayne chuckled, loving the way Kaylar's face lit up whenever she talked about her car. "Well, I couldn't bear to see you without it. So, I took care of it for you."Kaylar leaned closer to Wayne, her voice filled with excitement. "You're the best, you know that?" she said playfully, planting a quick kiss on his cheek.Wayne grinned, his heart swelling with love for his wife. "Just doing my part to keep
As Wayne ended his discussion with Officer Johnson, he turned to Chad and said, "Stay behind and inform me as soon as Joshua gives you feedback.""Yes boss," Chad nodded, understanding the importance of the task."As for you," Wayne turned to Susan and said, "Find your way back to the company."Susan smiled crookedly and replied, "Don't worry about me, I'll manage.""That's good," Wayne said. He then headed straight to his car, settling in comfortably for the ride. As the car started moving, Wayne couldn't help but feel a twinge of anxiety. He really hoped he could get to the hospital in time for Kaylar's ultrasound. It would be disappointing if he couldn't make it.As the car weaved through the busy highway, Wayne let out a sigh of exhaustion. Running a successful company was demanding, and personal matters added another layer of stress. He combed his hand through his hair and leaned into the car seat, momentarily closing his eyes.The sound of the car engine began to lull Wayne into
She thought it was due to network issues but she called again, still, it didn't go through, she slowly brought down her hand wondering what was going on because it was unlike Wayne to not pick up her call. Kaylar stood there, her mind racing with concern. Why hadn't Wayne answered her calls? She couldn't shake the unsettling feeling that something wasn't right.With a trembling hand, Kaylar dialled Wayne's number once more, hoping for a different outcome. The phone rang, but still, there was no answer. Frustration and worry welled up inside her, mingling with the joy she had felt just moments ago from seeing their baby on the ultrasound.Feeling a sense of urgency, Kaylar decided to call Chad, hoping he might have some answers. As the phone connected, she couldn't help but feel a mix of relief and anxiety."Chad," Kaylar greeted, her voice trembling slightly."Yes, lady boss," Chad joked, unaware of the distress Kaylar was feeling."Are you with Wayne?" Kaylar asked, her voice fil
However, upon seeing Kaylar's composure she decided to disclose the details. "It happened on Phoenix Ridge Expressway," Mia replied softly, her voice laced with both sympathy and hope.Several minutes passed in silence, Kaylar's thoughts racing through her mind. Mia saw the newfound composure in her friend and felt reassured that she would not do anything impulsive in her current state. With that reassurance, Mia excused herself from the room, needing a moment to gather her thoughts.Kaylar saw Mia's departure as an opportunity. She carefully observed her surroundings, her eyes landing on her bag resting in the corner of the room. Ignoring the pain and discomfort, she slowly made her way to it. With trembling hands, she dug through the contents of her bag until her grasp closed around the cold metal of her car key. Then she slipped it into her pocket.Kaylar's actions were not fueled by selfishness but by an overwhelming need to be by Wayne's side. She knew she needed to see him for h
Kaylar's fingers trembled as she took the glass from Mia's outstretched hand. Their fingertips brushed briefly, a fleeting connection that conveyed unspoken understanding. Kaylar raised the glass to her lips, the water quenching both her thirst and the raw ache within her soul. She placed the empty glass on the table, her eyes still locked with Mia's.Mia's voice quivered with concern. "You should take a shower, let the water wash away some of the pain, and then get some rest. You need it."Kaylar nodded, her movements slow and automatic, as if operating on autopilot. Mia led her to the bathroom, their footsteps echoing through the quiet space. Inside, she turned on the shower, adjusting the temperature to a comforting warmth. Steam wisped through the air, filling the room with a cloud of tranquillity.Mia walked over to a nearby cabinet and pulled out a fresh set of nightgowns, her fingertips grazing the soft fabric. "These are new, fresh from the store. I haven't used them. Take y
The next day, Kaylar reluctantly pulled herself out of bed and made her way into the bathroom to freshen up. As she looked at her reflection in the mirror, her eyes were bloodshot and swollen, adorned with prominent eye bags and dark circles. It was evident that she hadn't closed her eyes all night. After hastily getting dressed in one of Mia's loose gowns, Kaylar joined her friend in the car as Mia drove her back to the mansion. The drive was filled with an unnerving silence, with Kaylar appearing lifeless and dull. Mia couldn't help but notice that her usually vibrant friend was nothing more than a shadow of herself. As they arrived at the mansion, Mia gently tapped Kaylar on the shoulder, breaking the oppressive quietness. "We are here," she whispered. Kaylar stepped out of the car and made her way into the mansion, with Mia following closely behind. The usually bright and lively mansion seemed to reflect the heavy news of Wayne's death, shrouded in an atmosphere of gloom."Young
As she spoke, the guests listened with bated breath, their gaze fixed upon the woman who encapsulated both vulnerability and indomitable strength. Her words resonated deep within their hearts, their collective pain merging through her voice.Kaylar's voice grew even softer, and a serene sadness imbued her words. "In this very moment, he exists within me, the flesh and blood of his spirit pulsating through our children. We must mourn the loss of Wayne, but celebrate his lasting legacy—the gift of life that will be born from his love."Gathering her courage, Kaylar steadied herself against the podium as a wave of emotion threatened to overwhelm her. Her heart pounded within her chest, echoing the rhythm of the funeral dirge, a rhythm both mournful and defiant."We gather here today as a testament to the love that bound us, to the strength that emanated from Wayne's very being," she continued, her voice resolute now. "For every tear shed, let there be a whisper of gratitude for the momen
As Kaylar was pushed away in the stretcher and towards the direction of the ICU, Mia dropped her head in despair. She took in a deep breath, then turned to Emilia. "Auntie, you have to get some rest now. You heard the doctor, Kaylar will be fine," Mia said, hoping to reassure her.Emilia raised her head, her eyes filled with unshed tears. "It's fine, I'll stay and watch her. I won't leave," she replied, determination evident in her voice. She was determined to stay by Kaylar's side until she woke up.In the face of Emilia's stubbornness, Mia didn't know what to do. So she decided to try out her last option. "Auntie, I know you're worried about Kaylar, but you have to think about your health too. Kaylar wouldn't be happy to know that you neglected your well-being for her sake," Mia persuaded, hoping it would make Emilia reconsider.With a look of scepticism in Emilia's eyes, she nodded her head in understanding. "Fine, I'll leave now, but make sure to inform me as soon as she regains c
