“You are asking for you death, bastard. I am coming out for you “The driver said as he walked out of the car. Before he could take a step outside, the sound of a gun was heard and the bully man fell face down with a pool of blood on his head.Caroline screamed at the top of her voice. Help …. Help…...I need some help, please. I don’t want to die.” She covered her ears and continued sobbing.The man on the passenger’s seat got startled and rushed out of the car when someone hit him on the head with a blunt object. He fell down and became unconscious instantly. That was when Caroline saw the face of the man who had escorted her to see Wesley.“You didn’t leave me alone? God, I thought that they were going to kill me. Thank you so much “she said with relief in her eyes.“Of course, Luke wouldn’t have forgiven me. I never quit on my missions. Just try to calm down and remember that this place is not safe for you. Don’t ever come back here again, okay. I will take you home now before anyon
But then Caroline cleared her voice breaking the intense look that he had in his eyes.“You are holding me so tight. Do you think that you can loosen a little? “She asked with a hoarse voice.“Of course …...pardon me. I got carried away. With your beauty, any man would go crazy looking at you. In fact, I am lucky that you chose me over all other men. I want you to love me so badly. However, if you can’t, I won’t blame you at all. Rest assured that my love will be enough for the both of us. ““It is okay, I can stand on my own” Caroline said and then looked at him curiously.” When did you come to the house?”“I arrived 30 minutes ago but you were still sleeping so I didn’t want to disturb you. I didn’t call because I knew that you wouldn’t pick up my calls. I have been calling since you left but you keep on ignoring my calls. What happened to you?” he asked as he removed the strand of hair from her face so that he could look at her properly.“It is along story. would you not ask me
It happened that other parents were watching them and they could not help applauding. It was always a beautiful thing to see a happy family. “Angel, you will go first. You said that you have a poem for your dad?” her teacher said bringing to a stop the connection that the three of them were having. Angel looked at Jack and then muttered “Since my dad is not here, then this poem will be dedicated to you and my Mommy. I hope that you like it. “Angel said and then climbed down from his laps.“Anything from you will always be lovely. Go and shine, baby girl. I will be your biggest fan and I will cheer you at the top of my voice.” Jack assured her.“Hello everyone, my name is Angel Storm and this poem is dedicated to my dad with all the love in the world. I love you.”Jack looked at Angel with affection. No feeling could describe the emotions that he was having in his heart at that moment. He had given up on family and he had believed that family was not for him. Here he was, God was rew
“Last time we went shopping for the dress that you are wearing, I picked it up. You never noticed because you have never looked at the things that I buy.”“Sweetie, this are supposed to be adult’s decisions. Next time please ask me first. “Caroline scolded.“I wanted to have it handy when the two of you were ready to get married. I knew it was going to be soon. So, I kept is safe and here we are. Mommy, don’t overthink things. I am doing this only for your own good.” Angel replied.Seeing that Angel was stating her desire clearly, she had no choice but to play along. she looked at Jack who was observing them keenly and she realized that she couldn’t do anything stupid to hurt him anymore.With a huge smile on her face, she signaled for Jack to take the ring.She lifted her hands and Jack slipped in the ring. Surprisingly, it fit perfectly well. Angel knew her more than she had thought.“Will you marry me and be the mother of my kids?” Jack asked excitedly.“Huh…. that is so cute “Ange
“Sit down. I have a long story to tell you and I am sure that you won’t believe me but I will try as best as I can to explain things even if it is the worst experience of my life. After this conversation, I won’t meddle in your life again. Every single choice that you make will all be on you, okay. I will not be connected with her or anyone in that family ““Mother, you are scaring me. Did she kill someone?” Jack asked looking confused.He settled down on the sofa but his heart couldn’t stop beating. Last time, he literally ran away when his mother wanted to talk but today, she couldn’t ignore it anymore. As much as he wanted to know what was the problem, he also felt that it might end up destroying him forever.“It happened long time ago. “Tears rolled on her cheeks as she started narrating “I don’t really like to talk about it but I can’t keep silent anymore. I can’t bear to see the person who hurt me walk freely as if nothing happened. I can’t bear to see you fall in the same dark s
“Mother, I will pass on that for the time being. I believe that Caroline is different and I know that she will love me. I can’t blame her for the mistakes of her family. My God, does she even know any of this? “the man asked looking shaken already.“I don’t know and I don’t care. “Agnes snarled “What I know is that when I got married to your father, he was so sad. I could see how he missed Jane but I comforted myself that he will soon warm up to me. Instead, hated me and humiliated me and I couldn’t do anything. I told myself that in order for me to get what I want, I must be patient. I thought that if I showed him how much I loved him, he will let go of Caroline’s mother and learn to love me. But I was terribly wrong, he never planned on forgiving me. Soon, he started having an affair outside our marriage and again, I couldn’t do anything. ““I thought that it was good news when Jane also decided to move on. She accepted a marriage proposal from Dismas Morgan who had been crushi
“Calm down, I haven’t finished explaining myself. I hate Caroline but I owe you the truth. She is not your sister. You two are not blood related. “That was when Jack breathed with a sigh of relief but then again if she wasn’t his sister then how the hell did she come to the story? whose daughter was she?“Mother, don’t tell me that she was adopted or something?” Jack asked already getting impatient. Does she know all this? “Jack added.“No …she has no idea about the story of her life but I promise you that she is not your sister. I just don’t want you to be entangled with this dream anymore. It is just that her story is related to what I am about to tell you next. Please pay attention.”“Dismas had a lot of enemies back in the days due to his huge success. One day, he had gone on a business meeting in South city and someone drugged his drink. He got to spend a night with a woman who he didn’t know. The woman was also intoxicated and couldn’t remember who he was. Due to the guilt th
“Again …..I can’t believe this “ Jack was startled. He was so angry because of Dismas. He loved him, he was his role model and he thought that if his father was a good for nothing dad, then he could depend on Dismas. He honestly saw him as his father. What a big mistake he had made?He suddenly wanted revenge. He was an orphan because of Dismas and he will pay. As long as he was alive, he will bring justice to his dad and mum.“Then tell me, mother. why is it that Dismas is so interested in me marrying his daughter? Is there something more that I should know?”“It is simple. He wants the two companies to combine so that he can take control of it all. Caroline coming back to take over the company was part of a well-organized plan. He had to gain your trust and believe me that man is the most power-hungry human being in this world. Perhaps, even Caroline knows all his plans. Why would she agree to marry you when she knows very well that she is not in love with you? Decide on what you t
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
