“The ghost is here. Please take me away. I have been followed by this ghost wherever I go and I am so afraid. The last time I was with my friend at the basement, the ghost appeared and strangled her to death. I don’t know why he is very angry at the two of you right now. “Angel said while wiping her tears furiously. Her body was shaking with fright.“What! you better not be kidding.” One of the bully men said.“Are you insane, there is no ghost in here? Why would they be here?” the other one said.“Unless you are haunted. Who in their fucking mind believes in Ghosts? I don’t…..” the first bully man laughed loudly.“No…...No……There, the ghost is coming. Run……run for your lives if you don’t want to be strangled to death. He is very angry right now. “ The two looked at the other room and because it was dark, they saw a movement of a shadow. At that moment, they both ran out of the ware house in a jiffy.“That girl is haunted. I can’t die, I have a wife and a kid who needs me. “One of th
“Over there …...” Zoe pointed to him where Angel lay silently. She had seen her a while ago but she didn’t want to go to her in order to protect her from anyone hiding in the dark.Wesley didn’t waste any time. Hurriedly, he made his way towards the rock. His face turned cold when he saw his baby girl curled at the side of the rock. She looked so small and vulnerable. what if there was a snake there? It could have bitten her.He greeted his teeth and swore. Heather and her entire goons will pay for laying their filthy hands-on Angel. “Hey …..Baby ….it is me…don’t be afraid.” He said with a soothing voice hoping to capture her attention.Angel was dumbfounded. She knew that she asked for her father to appear in front of her out from nowhere but she never imagined that it will come true. It felt kind of creepy.Wait a minute…… she must be hallucinating. Her dad has never cared to come and see her, let alone eat dinner with her or take her to school. He was always away minding his o
Caroline was still dumbfounded. Nothing in the whole world would have surprised her as what she was seeing Infront of her.To say that she lacked the words to express herself was an understatement. Never in her wildest dreams would she have expected this man to show up in the middle of nowhere. She had wished for it before and he never came.“Are you going to hug me or what “Wesley said as he pulled her in to a tight embrace. “Your heart is fucking racing. what is the matter. Are you sick?”That was when all the tears that she had been holding came running down on her cheeks. Seeing Wesley, made her very emotional.” It has been terrible, sweetie. I can’t believe that you have her. My God, how did you get here so fast and what the fuck were you thinking when you blocked my way. I could have shot you by mistake “Caroline kept on ranting over and over before her mouth was captured with the sweetest kiss ever.Wesley then whispered in her ears “Will you just shut up already?”“If the bull
“Don’t be a dick. She might have escaped this time round but she won’t be lucky next time because she will pay for almost blinding me with a pepper spray. That little she devil was more cunning than I had predicted. ““So, she actually listened to my advice? Clever girl.” Jack was actually celebrating silently.They were busy chatting without even realizing that there were other people in the office. Wesley was sitting with his back on them. When he felt that he has heard enough of their little chat, he turned around and greeted them.“Hello …friends. What a happy reunion? ““Wesley …. did you break in to my office? what do you want and how dare you kidnap me?” Jack asked while he looked at the man sitting on his chair with mixed reactions. Jack always knew that Wesley was deadlier than he was and he was just trying to figure out how he was going to get out of this trouble, courtesy of Heather.Why can’t she ever listen to him?“I am giving you 10 seconds to decide which one you wa
“I need her to shut up….”“I have got this, boss. With pleasure. “Luke laughed cheekily as Heather screamed in terror. “No…. you can’t do that to me. I can’t remain with four fingers, how will people look at me? Wesley …. Please I didn’t touch even a single hair on Angel ‘s head. You have got to show me some mercy here. If you do, I will be loyal to you forever.”“Uh…. loyal…Have you ever been loyal to anyone? Not even your own mother could gain your loyalty.” Wesley suddenly said and Heather was startled. She was sure that she buried all the information about her past. Nobody was supposed to know. How the hell did Wesley find out?“Yes …. I know everything. Cross me again and you won’t even remember where the rest of your fingers had gone to.”The moment that followed, a piercing scream filled the office but Wesley only looked at the woman with contempt. Nothing in this world would make him show her mercy.In the end she fainted again and was hurriedly taken away.At around 6. AM in
“Whoever you are…I will always love you as my father. Just try being nice to us and everything will be fine. I already understand that you are a business man and it is only normal for you to go on trips. I am so proud of you. I couldn’t wish for any other dad than you. “Angel said with understanding as Wesley looked at her adorably.“Your words are beautiful. I will keep them in mind.”Wesley picked up his phone to call Luke. He made the first call only to be told that the number was out of service.“Damn fucking bastard. He blocked me. “He cursed as he looked at Caroline. Angel was distracted with her cartoon so he didn’t need to worry about her hearing their conversation.“Tell me again. who was that you said was loyal? I swear this time round, I have had it with him up to my throat. ““Calm down Wesley. Luke has always been careless. May be, his phone was stolen. “Caroline said in order to calm him down.“Yeah ……. I think that you are right. He is a very careless idiot but I promis
“Why would I come with you? I am still busy and I am not in the best mood for your bullshit.” Wesley dismissed her just like that already feeling impatient. Just looking at her face gave him a headache.He wondered what will happen once the two of them were actually married and living together. It will be a disaster.Winnie couldn’t have chosen the best time to torment him.She smiled cheekily before muttering. “I have a present for you.”“I am not interested. Please can you just let me go? “Wesley said but Winnie didn’t give up. This time round, he had to be down to earth because his behavior depends on the life of his family. He didn’t need to involve them in his complicated family wrangles.“No…. you will really …...really like the gift that I have specially prepared for you. You should check it out, okay. “She said and then pulled out her phone. she played a video footage and then gave it to Wesley to watch.On top of the tall building opposite the restaurant, there was a man in b
“Angel ……come back here. Please don’t wonder around alone. something bad might happen to you. May be, your dad has been kidnapped.” Caroline warned feeling confused.“I am sorry mommy, but this is important “Angel insisted as she made her way towards the wash rooms.Caroline had no option but to follow Angel. They both headed towards the washroom area and found the door wide open. But there was no one inside as Angel searched every corner of the room with tears in her eyes.“Daddy…. “Angel called but her voice only vibrated back. “Where are you? You promised to spoil us. why can’t you keep your promise only for today …? please…...”“Baby, I think that he has left but I know that he didn’t mean to. Let us go back home. Someone might spot us here in the men’s washroom.” Caroline said and then Angel stepped on something. When they both looked at the phone, it was Wesley’s.Slowly, Caroline picked it up. It was still unlocked so she couldn’t resist the temptation to see what was written
No one dared to say anything. The crowd stood with their mouths gaped, sizzling back biting going around in style. Their usual soft hums and whispers was all that could be heard by the trio.When it was all done, Sophia wiped both of their tears and kissed their foreheads.” Just know that you can always count on me for anything that you need, okay. I love you both. ““I love you “Caroline voice cracked as she spoke.“I love you too.” Jack added emotionally.“You didn’t hug me grand ma. Don’t you like me too?” Angel complained interrupting the beautiful bonding.It just dawned on Sophia that she has just become a grandmother in a day.Sophia has never even imagined having a grandchild but here she had one already. What more could she have asked for?During these few days, she has learned a very important lesson. Family was more precious than being a rebellious reject, feeling hollow all the time.“Of course, I haven’t forgotten. I will give you a tight hug. Will you like that, princess
“Really sweetheart …It doesn’t matter what gender it is as long as he has come from you and me. I will love the baby regardless of his gender and this time round they will have a committed father. It was so fucking disgusting to hear people calling me a dead-beat dad all the time. My mission now is to prove them all wrong.”Angel giggled as she stated.” I will have a little baby brother. Thank you so much, Mommy. I will have someone to play my video games with and chat with. I will never be alone again. ““You won’t “Caroline ruffled her hair tenderly. Being a mother and seeing your children happy was the most fulfilling feeling in the world.“May I suggest a name?” Angel continued.“Of course. what name would you like to give your brother?” Wesley asked.“I would like him to be named after my grandfather, Dismas. That name sounds unique and full of love. I can’t wait to spoil him.” she replied with a cute pout on her mouth.“Dismas Storm…… I agree. It is a beautiful name, deserving
Then Isabel also appeared looking lovey dovey with Luke. Caroline suspected that there was a romance going on between them but she has never confirmed it.Now there was no doubt that Isabel had found her better a half.“Look at the newest couple in town!” Caroline commented as she stared at Isabel’s blushing face.“So, when did you two start dating?” Wesley asked dumbfounded. He could have sworn that Luke was not the type to settle down with a woman. He was a man of many ladies.“It just happened and the rest is history “Isabel answered as Luke pulled her away. “You don’t need to explain anything to him, it is none of his business.”Luke turned and whispered in Wesley ears “Don’t spoil this for me, okay. If you do, you can forget about me and start searching for new assistant. “It was precisely because of Wesley that he chose never to commit to any woman. He didn’t want to constantly explain why he was always working late or why he was constantly traveling around the world. He wa
“Why are you crying? You are going to spoil the makeup. Is this bastard still bullying you? Tell me and I will kick his ass right now. Until he proves to me that he has changed, then he is not off the hook yet. I will torment him like hell……. “Grand ma Grace said as he cupped her face in her hands.“It ….it ….is not that, grand ma. “Caroline chocked with tears, her voice cracked with the tumultuous mixture of emotions that she was feeling in her body.“Then what it is, sweetie? Remember, bad mood is not good for the baby, okay. “She probed further. Her face creased with worry.Her chest rose up and down as she tried with difficulty to get the words out of her chest.“I can’t believe that all this people came to my birthday. Am I dreaming?” she finally managed to say.“Oh…. No…. Caro. You better believe it! You have so many people who love and appreciate you. All this people are here because they want to be and because they admire you. Start believing it, okay. ““Really …...Really ….
She went back to sorting the documents. She saw various property deeds and their transfer documents. It turned out that Jack had transferred everything back to her name.Really …. she never even cared about them because she knew that she could make more than what her father left her but she was touched by Jack’s actions.At the bottom of the safety box, there was another envelop. Caroline opened it only to find a will supposedly written by her father. She had seen it the day that she was kidnapped and Wesley ended up saving her.“This was prepared by Heather to scam you. I hope that your lawyer will know what to do with it. Forging a will is a crime and Heather must pay for it .“ Jack wrote.Caroline was overwhelmed with emotions as she leaned on Wesley’s shoulders. With a voice as soft as a whisper she said “Let us go home. “Wesley hugged her tenderly as he whispered “It is finally time for you to be happy. Let us go home now. There is nothing stopping us from being together now. “
The following day was bright and sunny as Caroline and Wesley made their way back in to the Rose Garden apartment. She found Angel waiting for her at home. Angel ran to her mother and wrapped her hands around her neck as she lifted her up in to her embrace. She gently touched Caroline’s forehead before asking with concern “Are you okay, Mommy? “Caroline ruffled her hair delightedly earning an adorable giggle from her.“Better than I have ever been now that I have seen you. Are you bored? We can watch a movie or something. Are you in the mood? “Caroline asked. Although she was tired, she didn’t want to neglect Angel. She had to make some time to be with her.Before Angel could say anything, a certain man spoke. They were so engrossed in their little reunion that they had forgotten that he was standing right beside them.Well…. he couldn’t blame them. It has always been the two of them, he has never been in the picture. Why would he expect more from them?“How could they adore each o
She started feeling like she was slipping away in to darkness. She found herself laying her head on top of her mother’s body.Wesley panicked and started calling her name …” Caroline……. Caro…..can you hear me? I need you to say something. If you are hurting, please let me know. “His voice was but a distance whisper before it all went dark. She was no longer feeling anything. Nothing mattered, her heart didn’t hurt as much as it did before as she fully succumbed to the darkness. It was already dark in the evening when Caroline finally woke up. She was in a hospital and Wesley was sleeping beside her bed. She had no idea how long she had blackened out but the first thing that came on her head was her baby.Wesley woke up immediately he heard her stir “Sweetheart, you are finally awake. Where does it hurt?” He asked while tucking away the hair on her face with a concerned look on his face.“Is the baby still around?” Caroline queried while clutching her stomach.“Yes…the baby is fine
“What are you guys talking about? Caroline was confused. She couldn’t tell when she has ever saved Wesley from any fire. She just got a headache from trying hard to remember. Then her memory was taken back to the day that she had an accident and was taken to the hospital. The doctor said that she was suffering from amnesia and that there were signs of her bone healing. She never could have guessed that she was the one who saved Wesley from fire and ended up sustaining serious injuries. The worst part was that she fucking forgot about it. Everybody knew that it was Paula who saved Wesley and he owed her his life.It just occurred to her that they were talking about the same fire accident that left her with a memory loss years back. The doctor said that she was blocking the trauma that she had suffered and that was why she couldn’t remember.Her eyes clouded with tears as she looked at Wesley “I was the one who saved you? I don’t regret it. I would rather lose my memory a thousand t
“Did you just call me your child? “Caroline asked again with a trembling voice.“Yes…. you are mine and no one has the right to make your life hard “Sophia said, Caroline remained still as mixed emotions ruptured in her heart.It was too good to be true.Sophia will never accept her. The police soon arrived after they were called by Grace’s guards. Heather and Agnes were taken away looking defeated. The only people remaining in the house were now family. Out from nowhere, Paula asked “Can you wire the money to me now? I have done my part “Sophia stood up suddenly as she muttered sternly.” There is no one receiving or giving money here. There will be no easy money for you from now onwards. You have to learn to work hard for the money that you want. Are we clear?”“Mum…it is me! I can’t believe that you are treating me like this. “Paula was aggrieved.She stomped her legs like a little brat like she normally does, hoping that her mother will feel moved but she didn’t.“Yeah…...I know
