Jack smiled disgustedly “so, it was your plan all along? You planted Heather in my life so that you two can take Morgan and Baron’s wealth. “His eye was already blood shot.“Bravo…. you have finally figured it out. I have never loved you. You disgust me so much, you have no idea. Letting you touch me was the worst experience of my life. So, I am going to earn myself good money from you when you are rotting in the ground. I promise you that you are not getting out of here alive. “Heather said while tracing her gun on his face.He spat on her face, earning himself a punch. “Killing you is the right thing to do , Heather has been following the plan well, but what about you? You are stupid and an ingrate. All that I wanted was for you to forget about Caroline so that we can have her company for ourselves. Was that too much to ask? what does she have that you worship the ground that she walks on? “Agnes asked irritably, eyes blazing with fire.“Mother ….” Jack called, feeling a pang of
It happened as fast as lightning. No one could have predicted it.When the others saw the scene, they all knelt down and bowed their heads.” Hand cuff yourselves and get the fuck out of my face. Make sure that you take yourselves to the police or I will hunt you down and kill you myself. “Wesley commanded, direct and straight to the point. “We understand “The men said in unison, a beard of sweat evident on their foreheads. No one liked to be threatened with death. Agnes and Heather looked at Wesley with frightened expression, they were puzzled on what business he had to come and rescue Jack.“We didn’t do anything to him. We have no idea who sent the thugs. “Agnes said as they slowly exited the ware house, not knowing that there were people waiting for them outside.They had calculated their move to precision.Jack thought that he was hallucinating. The last person that he had expected to come to his aid was Wesley. He didn’t even know that he was in the North city. All that he d
“I am okay, just a little exhausted. Thank you for saving him. Had we arrived even a second late, we would be talking about something else. “She said with a deep sense of affection, staring warmly on his incomparable handsome face.He cupped her face breathing in the sweet scent emanating from her body. It always made him calm down.“I am sorry, I couldn’t deal with Agnes and Heather. I had no time, Jack was in a bad state. “Wesley apologized, a grim expression evident on his face.“Don’t worry, the girls have dealt with them “Caroline muttered nonchalantly. Wesley’s eyes darkened as he pulled slightly away from her body, scanning her face with scrutiny.“Did you get involved? “he asked.“No…Monica and Isabel taught them a lesson and they are sleeping like wild dogs in the bush “She smiled mischievously as Wesley hugged her again on his sturdy and firm chest. “Let us go home. I am sure that Monica will give us news of his condition as soon as the doctors have worked on him. I am p
He was learning the beauty of having a family. Waking up in Caroline’s arms each and every single moment was breathtaking. Not that, he had forgotten about Angel. She was another blessing in his life. He learned to be patient in dealing with a demanding and clinging cute little girl.He understood that he had been away for almost 6 years and the girl was unintentionally making him pay for all those years that he left her neglected. He would take her to school and the sparkle in her eyes as she waved her goodbyes would not leave his mind.It was simply the best moment of his life, a break from the tedious and annoying contracts that he had to deal with in his everyday life. Angel was a mirror image of her mother, sweet, sensible and intelligent. Of course…. she took some minor characters from him but he wouldn’t mind. she was his to keep. No one else. One day, he will tell her just how much she meant to him. Hopefully, very soon, he’ll get the chance to show her what they have be
This town was his life, it shaped him to who he was today and stepping his foot on its soil felt like home. In this town, he got a second chance at life when no one wanted him. He will always hold it dear to his heart.“We are here “Wesley announced as he parked the car in front of the Owen’s mansion.Other luxurious cars were already parked, arranged in a neat line— having different colors, shape and make. With no doubt, it signaled that the event was for only the upper elites.Caroline climbed down the car, she didn’t even wait for Wesley to open her door. For her, she felt that every second that she waited meant that her grandmother will make the worst decision of her life.She had to save her somehow. She was her last hope or the Owen’s family heritage will be turned to dust never to be remembered.Inside the mansion, in a secluded corner, stood Sophia, Paula and Jessica. Jessica’s eyes scanned through the crowd, sharp like a hawk, nervousness edged behind her calm façade. T
Grand ma Grace smiled sweetly, her sincerity unmistakable.“Of course, but just know that I am not doing this for you. It is for the sake of my granddaughter. I have missed her for so many years and this is my way of making it up to all the hardships that she had to face. ““That is right, Grand ma. Go ahead and sign the document “Paula added looking anxious.Grand ma Grace took the document and was about to sign the document when Caroline found her voice and announced “She is fake. Grand ma, I am your real granddaughter. Don’t sign anything. “Everyone’s one’s eyes turned to Caroline as tears was streaming down on her cheeks.Sophia looked at Caroline disgustedly as she sneered “What is wrong with you? You are my sister’s daughter. Gosh…...I hate you and someone like you will never come out of me. Please don’t disturb us anymore.”“Caroline, you weren’t invited here. Why are you here, anyway? Are you here to manipulate my grandmother in to giving you her wealth?”” Paula asked, eyes b
Just typical of Sophia.“Honey, I thought that you have changed. How could you do this to me? I have given you chances over and over again yet you keep on disappointing me. what did I ever do wrong with you? I Wasn’t going to leave you two empty handed. I am still your mother, and I wouldn’t leave you unprotected. ““Mother, I just wanted to make sure that you didn’t leave me penniless. You have never favored me in any way. What was I supposed to do? ““So, what if she is not my sister? If not her stupidity, we would have pulled this off.” Paula added with arrogance.“Shut up, little brat.” Grand ma Grace shouted.“Please …don’t send me to jail. I can’t stand the thought of being locked again “Jessica was crying hysterically while kneeling in front of Grace, but she had no room for pity. She didn’t pity her when she wanted to take her hard-earned fortune. She was going to deal with her accordingly.“Guards, take her straight away to jail and make sure that she gets a life sentence
It wasn’t funny at all. There were a lot of people who were going to lose their livelihoods, people afraid of losing their careers that they have worked so hard for. Not mentioning the patients who depended on them.Now that he was awake, they could all breathe a sigh of relief.“You said that you love me. Have you been in love with me all these years? “Jack asked looking utterly astonishedTears instantly rolled on her cheeks like a river refusing to stop” You never noticed me, bastard. All your thoughts and body were for Caroline, I was like a distant buzzing of a bee on your ears. How can I say something when she was my closest friend? Even after you two were no longer together, you still didn’t look my way and went for another woman. I must be so despicable to you, right?”Jack felt his heart tighten. He was shocked beyond words. It is said that love was unconditional and it comes in the most unusual way.Monica has shown him the truth about the complicated theory. More than anyon
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
