Ciara was taken aback by the question. Aside the fact that she hadn’t expected that, she had not even remembered about her baby.She had been so engrossed with thinking about the situation of things that issues of her pregnancy completely evaded Ciara. Usually, that would have been her utmost concern. That would have been the first question that she would have asked, but mysteriously, it had completely evaded her memory. Ciara concluded that it had something to do with the attack. Besides, she was still recovering and trying to remember all that happened vividly, and not in flashes.Involuntarily, as soon as the question came out of Aunt Mary’s mouth, Ciara’s hand flew to her stomach, and she began to cradle it. She could not feel anything and Ciara became instantly worried. Tears welled up in her eyes.Aunt Mary watched this intently, and without being told, she had the answer to the question she asked. Aunt Mary became emotional. “You are pregnant,” she said. It wasn’t a question th
Ciara entered the luxury apartment weakly along with Samuel and Aunt Mary. Aunt Mary was being rolled in by Samuel. They tried to dissuade Aunt Mary from following them to the apartment, but she vehemently refused and insisted she followed them.One of the reasons that neither Ciara nor Samuel wanted Aunt Mary to follow them to the apartment after Ciara was discharged from the hospital is because they did not want her to find out that Samuel has not actually been living in the apartment with Ciara. They, especially Samuel, did not want Aunt Mary to know that he had sent her to the luxury apartment and dumped her there just so that he would not have to deal with her presence.Samuel had a lot on his plate that was causing him a whole lot of stress and anguish, and he did not need the mystery of Ciara to be added to his.The moment they stepped in, Aunt Quinton who had been standing in the living room, expectantly waiting for Ciara’s arrival hurried over to her in relief and excitement.
Ciara devoured the full plate of meal that Aunt Quinton had served her. If an elephant was presented to her right there and then, Ciara would eat it all up at a go. She was so famished that she shameless ate up what she was served, and thankfully, the food was well made.“After he knocked you off, he went for the knife,” Aunt Quinton stood beside Ciara and explained.Ciara hadn’t even asked for the full story yet, but she was somehow grateful that the woman was freely dishing them out to her. After she had managed to get Samule Fury off her back with the confrontation, Ciara had fallen on the bed and taken long hours of sleep. When Aunt Quinton entered her room to wake her up for dinner, she mentioned to Ciara that she had been worried, because Ciara had been sleeping for more than three hours. For Ciara, that was the longest she had slept for a long time now.Ciara gestured to Aunt Quinton to sit down and continue the gist. She was not a fan of treating domestic workers as such, and
“You cannot just make decisions that affect me without consulting me. I have allowed you done it before, but now, I refuse to let it continue,” Ciara said firmly as she entered into Samuel’s penthouse with him.They were alone in the entire place, and Ciara did not like the fact that he just strolled into the luxury apartment, make a declaration, get Aunt Quinton to pack up Ciara’s few things in the blink of an eye, and before Ciara knew it, they were in his penthouse.She was literally boiling with so much rage and anger. Samuel ignored Ciara which made her even more infuriated. “You have forced my hands into what I do not want long enough. I will not allow it!” Ciara’s tone was beginning to hit the roof.“One more ungrateful word from you and I will ensure that you don’t get to say anything until tomorrow,” Samuel said icily.Ciara was taken aback by the threat. It sounded very much like what he was capable of doing, and much to Ciara’s knowledge, people rarely knew that Samuel eve
Samuel Fury sat across from Colt at the fine dining restaurant. He stared at the man and hoped that this meeting would be quick and brief. When the waitress, a young and beautiful waitress brought their drinks, Samuel thought for a moment that it was Ciara Summer, because the waitress actually has the same hair color as Ciara. Samuel sat upright instantly, wondering if Ciara had escaped from the penthouse again, but when the waitress smiled at them politely, Samuel knew that she actually looked nothing like Ciara.His mind was only playing games with him.Besides, it would not be possible for anyone to get into the penthouse or even get out without his permission, because Samuel placed a code on it, so much so that a break in would never even occur which was why it was the only place he could think to take Ciara Summers when the cops advised him to take her out of the apartment for safety reasons, even if he absolutely hated the idea. And Samuel was not stupid enough to let Ciara or a
Ciara paced around the penthouse not knowing what to do. She could not take her eyes off the knife. What was the knife doing in Samuel Fury’s penthouse? She could clearly remember when he told her that he was even more dangerous than her suspect. Did Samuel Fury try to murder her? Did he send someone to the luxury apartment to kill her? First of all, he acted as though they needed a gardener for the lawn, and suddenly, right after they returned from their trip, Ciara found the same man she suspected must have wanted to attack her in this same penthouse. Still, Samuel denied seeing anyone behind her; the same penthouse no one knew about, so how come Ciara’s attacker knew the place and almost attacked her there? It was all now beginning to come together. Samuel Fury was after her life. He forced her to marry him, but that was solely because he wanted to please his dying mother, and now, Samuel wants to get rid of her by all means.Ciara shivered.She fell on the floor and sobbed sorro
In a frenzy panic, Ciara quickly tossed the knife back to its position and sauntered to her room. She had no idea who was opening the door, and she did not even remember the camera when she heard the clicking sound. Whatever the case may be, Ciara did not want to just sit there and wait to be murdered, because it was highly possible that Samuel could have sent someone over to the penthouse to complete what the first man he hired failed to do.From Ciara’s room; the room Samuel loaned to her actually, found a small opening in the curtains. Inside the penthouse, the walls were glassed, so once the curtains are taken out, you could literally see every part of the rooms and spaces easily. It was a cozy and beautiful setting, but right now, it feels to Ciara as though she was in the lion’s den. If she had known that Samuel was capable of eliminating her, she would have vehemently stood against the order of coming to the penthouse for her supposed safety.From the opening, Ciara watched and
Samuel walked into the hospital and when he checked his watch, he realized that he was very late. He knew that he was late, but he did not know how late he was.“Good morning, Mr. Fury,” the hospital receptionist greeted Samuel cheerily.Samuel looked at her but ignored her greeting. He was still angry with her for not keeping the name of the lady who came into the hospital attempting to pay his mother a visit, and worse, she still worked there. Samuel had raised hell that day when she fumbled and admitted that she had actually forgotten to take down the lady’s name, and he had demanded that she be fired immediately, but his mother, with her tender and graceful heart had specifically asked that she should be pardoned.Well, everyone wasn’t like Mary. Samuel would never understand how his mother managed to maintain being so nice, forgiving, empathetic and helpful to everyone around her despite what she had been through in the hands of the Fury family, but he was nothing like her.
