He clenched his fist not knowing what to do. No matter what sort of nonsense that his mother will come up with, he will never leave Caroline. She can forget about it for all he cares.“Then make me understand. I have been asking you all these years but you refused to tell me, mother. Do I deserve this ill treatment from the woman who gave birth to me? Mother, I only wanted you to love me and be there for me. I have missed you all of my life and all that I need is for you to be on myside for his once. I need you to love the woman that I have chosen. I am already having a hard time trying to make her fall in love with me and you are not making things any easier for me.”Agnes ‘s eyes clouded with tears. It wasn’t her fault that things happened in the way that they did. she genuinely loved Jack and it was the most difficult decision that she has ever made in her life to turn her back on him“Alright, don’t be that sad, honey. I will tell you but I am not sure if you are ready to hear t
“Wesley …she repeated again sounding hysterical. Her eyes were darting from place to place just to get a glimpse of the figure that she just saw. However, the man was nowhere to be seen. He had vanished in to thin air just like Wesley. could those two be related?It took her almost an hour to search the ground floor where he had disappeared to. When she realized that she wasn’t getting anywhere, she sat down on the couch to rest her legs. At this rate, she wasn’t sure if they would actually heal properly.She laughed at herself depreciatively as tears flowed on her face freely. She must be running mad for real. She saw Wesley laying on the bed unconscious. What more evidence did she need to see that he was in a coma?why was it that she thought that the strange man was Wesley? He could be just any body using the same brand of cologne as Wesley. That cologne wasn’t a custom made one.She just realized that she had stayed in the mall for so long and it was already dark in the night.
“Oh …...I am so fucked up. Please come back, Wesley. I can’t bear to lie any more to Angel. “Caroline thought silently while looking at her daughter.“Baby, you like asking so many questions. Well, I am not nervous. I just have a lot in my head and I am trying to sort them out in my mind. I do it a lot lately and I am so surprised that you noticed. ““I always know everything about you, Mommy. In that case, you should relax a bit. Don’t force things, they will fall in to place by themselves. our teacher taught us that when we want to learn something new, we should go slow on it “ Angel was right anyway. She was dealing with so many things and it was best for her to take it slow. Otherwise, she will go insane.“I love you baby, your words mean a lot to me “she pulled her in to her arms and then kissed her hair tenderly.“When you feel down, I am here for you, okay. Angel loves you so much. I made a promise to daddy that I will protect you and this is exactly what I am doing. You have
“Don’t believe them. You will get in to trouble “Megan warned desperately.However, she knew that Caroline was someone who was decisive. Once she has decided on something, there was no turning back for her“I am not afraid of them. what I don’t want is for them to hurt Wesley when I am capable of helping. If they are trying to trick me, then I will comfort myself that I tried my best. Hold on for the time being for the marketing director position, I will try to find someone as soon as possible. If I can’t find the right person, then I will handle that department responsibilities myself.”As soon as she finished talking, she took her bag and quickly excited the office” Call me in case of anything “she shouted back.“Is she really coming? I feel so disgusted with this place. I can’t stand the smelly room. My face and hands are swollen because of the beating that we got from that man. Mum, I can’t stand staying here any minute longer. Please do something. “Paula shouted.Despite their nu
“Caroline, you are trading on a thin line. His wealth belongs to me and I don’t know how you managed to acquire them but they are the one thing that I will fight for to the end. You will regret ever crossing me, bitch,” Paula said as she tried to stand up. Her knees were already hurting.“Did I say that you can stand up? officer, hand me the charges that I brought against them. one more mistake on your part and I will sign the papers. You will be kissing the bright sunlight goodbye. I am not ‘in the mood of joking with the two of you right now.”“Alright, we will do as you say but please get us out of here “Jane said looking genuinely afraid. Paula on the other hand couldn’t stop the tears from rolling on her face.To her surprise, the tears on her face were real this time round.Her mission was accomplished. All that she wanted was to intimidate them and make them afraid so that they can tell her the truth about Wesley’s whereabouts. That was all that she cared about. Anyway, she wo
“Gosh…...where do we start? I have completely no idea where she might have gone. I didn’t even think about asking her” Monica started panicking immediately. She was angry because Caroline didn’t show up for their date that she forgot to watch out for her safety.“I will call her right away and ask. She mustn’t have gone too far.” she added.When she dialed her number, she was unavailable. Now they had no idea on how to find out where she was and with whom. The most important question here was if at all she was going to meet Wesley.“Its’s okay. Let us not panic, it will be of no use to us or Caroline. First, let us watch the audio recording and try to make sense of what Caro is trying to tell us. She must have been suspicious for her to make this recording. At least, she is not all that dumb.” Isabel commented.“You are right …why am I this foolish? I didn’t even think about watching the audio recording. Alright, let us watch it together “she replied.In a jiffy, Monica unlocked her
The worst thing was that she couldn’t even call anyone for help because she was stupid enough to leave her phone in her car.She screamed but no one could hear her voice. She could feel the car going in circles until she started feeling dizzy . This time round Paula have succeeded in killing her. There was no hope for her ever coming out of this alive. No one knew where she was. She had refused to pick up Jack’s phone calls and she wasn’t even sure if he would notice that she was missing. Everything was against her like always.At long last the car stopped after driving for like 2 or 3 hours. She was quickly released from the boot and she could finally breath some fresh air. The place was chilly and windy. It felt like they were in a forested area. The perfect place to murder someone without being noticed.The blind fold was removed from her head but still she couldn’t see the faces of the people who have abducted her well. All that she saw was a big butterfly tattoo on the exposed
The man’s eyes were sharp even in the dark.“It is okay, honey. I am here now. Are you hurt? It was so stupid of you to come out here all alone. Why are you so gullible sometimes? “That voice and that scent made her calm as she buried her head deep in to his neck. Nothing else mattered except for the fact that she had been saved and that she was going to see her beloved daughter again.All of a sudden it became dark and she lost consciousness with the thought of the man holding her still lingering in her subconscious mind. She wished that she could talk to him and ask him so many things but she couldn’t.When she woke up, it was already daylight. She could feel the smell of disinfectant on her nostrils. she was definitely in the hospital. These past few days she had been a friend of the hospital so much. It fucking made her feel sorry for herself.“What happened to me?” she asked while scanning around the room.” where the hell is Wesley?”“Ma’am, thanks God that you are awake. Why
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
