The soothing background music played in the dimly lit Hall. The waiters were walking about offering drinks to the formally dressed guests. A man who was silently listening to his wife's comments as she stared at some people on the dancefloor stopped a waiter and took a glass of wine. He held her wait protectively when another man and his partner walked towards them. A lot of people actually approached them in attempt to kiss him up but he shooed them when they stared excessively at his wife. The man who was approaching them had his hair styled neatly and was wearing a tuxedo. His partner was a tall elegant lady whose hair was flowing gracefully behind her. She wore a short light pink gown exuding youthfulness and innocence. “Quinn Winters!” He said extending his hand for an handshake. The main gazed at his hand then back at his face. He nodded, receiving his handshake. “ You already know who I am. I won't go through that formality. ”Tina smiled at Midori but the lady quickly lower
Alyssa Algernon clenched her fist, her breath bursting in and out as the footsteps outside her dressing room drew closer. She wasn't prepared for who was about to visit her pink coloured room but there was nothing she could do than sit still and let the people performing wonders on her face and body finish what they already started.The door burst open and to Alyssa's semi relief, it was just the head maid and two little maids that entered the room. Head maid Linda cast a look of disdain over Alyssa's body and then she nodded in satisfaction. Judging from her rigid seating posture and her serene face, the three months extensive training wasn't a fluke“ Get up and turnaround ” Linda ordered impatiently in a stern voice.Alyssa pursed her lips. She had no choice but to oblige so she stood up slowly trying to cover the upper part of her body that was
They all agreed to play truth or dare including Quinn who just smiled when he was invited to join. One of the girls whom Alyssa identified to be Wendy pointed her jaw at me and asked if she was willing to play. Before Alyssa could answer, Tina replied, “ Of course she will. She is already an adult” She giggled softly and whispered something to Quinn's ear which he also laughed in response. It was quite awkward seeing how Quinn and Tina were flirting with one another. Not exactly flirting but she felt they should at least have some respect for her position as his wife.“ Let's get started” Wendy announced and others cheered.Alyssa felt something drop on her thigh and looked at it only to see it was a man's palm. She felt sick in the stomach and swatted his hands away only for it to return back to my thigh again. She raised her head only to find him smirk
Alyssa was surprised to hear that Wendy was her sister in-law. She didn't know that Quinn had a younger sister but then again, she knew almost nothing about him and his family since they were quite secretive.“ Sure sure you're right but next time, you shouldn't talk like that in public. It's very bad” Tina replied to Wendy rolling her eyes. She was used to Wendy calling her sister in-law at times like this. She offered an apologetic smile to Alyssa.“ Alright then” Wendy smiled happily but still glared at Alyssa. She was surely mad at Alyssa because her brother to scolded her.“ I wondered why you decided to just do a small party. Quinn won't mind paying for a big one” Tina laughed softly and shook her head. “ You talk as if I'm with Quinn for his money. I'm working and not penniless yunno?” She joked.Alyssa couldn't help but feel her remark was aimed at her but lookin
Alyssa gulped nervously as she looked down. She was on the seventieth floor with her younger sister Alexia and her Father.“ Take care of you sister. I'm very sorry.” The man said with tears falling down his face.“ Daddy? Why are you crying? ” Alexia asked wiping the hot tears off his face. Her father held her hand and placed it on Alyssa's hand. “ Alexia, you should listen to your sister. She wants what's best for you.”Alexia shook her head. “ But she refuses to share her toys with me and doesn't allow me to play with the neighbours ”“ That's because they don't like you ” Alyssa said with a frown on her face“Take my doll and don't play with the neighbours ” She handed her a stuffed toy and turned to their father.“ Alyssa I will trust you with Alexis life. Do every
Alyssa nose flared at her sister's disrespectful words. “ Alexia Algernon have you no respect for me? Where are your manners? Do you have to talk back to me at every chance you get?” She said her voice higher than she intended. She had already forgotten that Quinn was also in the room.“ Then let me ask you Alyssa Algernon, why should I respect you? It's not like you are even my sister” She said the last part under her breath.“ What? What do you mean” Alyssa asked, her body trembling slightly as she clenched her fist tightly. Her wound reopened but she didn't care a bit.Alexia stated at her sister with little interest then noticed another presence in the room. Her jaws dropped with her eyes wide open.“ You....I know you” She shouted. Her tone visibly softened with a sweet girl charm in it. “ You're Quinn Winters, Tina W
The hairs on her neck and arms stood high on hearing Alexia's squeal. She stared through the fringes of her long lashes and decided to keep mute in hopes that she wasn't going to talk about Quinn. “ I'm not good at guessing. Just tell me already. ”“ Just guess. I will say it if you are wrong”Mason nodded at her. “ Alright then. Umm...well, only Tina Walker is capable of making you this excited ” He shrugged nonchalantly. There was no way Tina Walker would have made a trip to the hospital.“ You are very close. I saw her boyfriend instead. ” Mason glanced at Alyssa . “ You don't look surprised. Were you already aware about it?”Before Alyssa could respond, Alexia opened her big mouth “ Why would she be surprised? She brought him to visit me. I must tell you something, ” She tried to lean closer but was unable to do so. She lowered her eyes in disappointment. He noticed it and went over to meet her.
“ Why did you stop?” Mason queried as they settled on one of the seats in the hospital park.Alyssa looked straight ahead at the park. The population had visibly decreased probably because it's lunch time or the children were tired from playing after a long time.“Well...” She sucked in her lower lip and sighed. She felt her cheek growing hot as the scene of Quinn exploring her body with his large palms popped up in her head.“Well....you know the rest of the story” She said softly unable to look at him. She was very scared, scared that he would judge her like other people have always been doing. Mason sighed. He knew the rest of the story but not all. He was sure they would talk about it with time. He was already grateful she chose to tell him even part of the story that could be considered personal which showed the amount of trust she had for him. In his heart, that moment, he swore to never betray the trust she had for him.

As the days went, Alyssa did her best to avoid the couple but it was almost inevitable. She kept on bumping into them in the most unconventional way. At times, in the dining room, Tina will appear wearing Quinn's shirt that revealed the hickeys across her neck to have breakfast sitting across her, she also caught Tina times without number adjusting Quinn's tie and sending him to work with a kiss on his shirt. She was obviously marking her territory. She also made dinner for Quinn before he returns. Alyssa sighed as she watched Tina watching a cooking show and seriously jotting down points. She returned back into her room and fell on the bed. The next day, Quinn went to work with Tina seeing him off as usual. She sat elegantly on the couch as she talked with Kahuna via face time. “ Ohh...you look radiant. Permit me to say Quinn has been pumping you with energy. ” “ Don't be silly. I can't deny it, duh...’’Alyssa happened to overhear their conversation. Her face turned red as beet
In the bright orange car,she gripped the steering wheel tight. Her eyes were focused on the road as she drove absentmindedly. She was visibly shaking with glistening sweat beads on her forehead. It was all from the impact from the conversation she had earlier. [Think about the benefits it will do you if you choose to work with me]Quinn's words resounded in her ears. She clenched her teeth as she suddenly stepped on the brakes on sighting the red light. It made her lose balance, sending her body toward to hit the steering wheel. After steadying herself and sitting properly, she calmly collected her emotions but in the next moment, her emotions went haywire when she glanced at the restaurant at the roadside which was facing her car. She saw a familiar figure entering into the restaurant with a pregnant lady. Her eyes went round in surprise. The foreign feeling which she hadn't felt in a long time coursed through her body as she glared at the woman's stomach with killing intent. “
“ Kai, I don't think it's a good idea to leave now. Chairman already gave the order that you cannot return back to the headquarters unless you attend all the scheduled meetings” Hans said to his boss while driving to the airport. He stole a glance at him through the rearview mirror. Kai turned his face feeling the cool breeze against his face. Hans channelled his attention on the road in deep thoughts. Last night, Kai suddenly ordered him to book the earliest possible flight back to country N. He tried delaying it a bit should in case Kai changed his mind but it couldn't be delayed further. Although staring out the tunnel they'd entered, his mind was several miles away. The image of Finn fondly smiling down at Wyatt and a lady gazing lovingly at both of them kept on replaying in his head. Had he not been so silly, and unable to remember that humans change, he wouldn't have relied on the fact that he was madly in love with Finn and expected the same only for reality to slap him on th
“I thought I heard it wrong. I've been a big fan of yours for a very long time. You know me right? I'm Alexia Algernon. ” Alexia kept on grinning from ear to ear. She took a few steps toward Tina and touched her hand. She looked up at Tina trying to decipher whatever she was thinking. Tina stared at the girl in front of hr with a smile. “ Hey Alexia, I don't recall meeting you. How about you tell me more about yourself.” Alexia smiled happily. “ You must know Alyssa right? Alyssa is my sister. ” Tina's face turned ashen. She gripped the bedspread tightly. “ Alyssa? Who is that? ”“ Quinn Winters wife. ” That was when Alexia noticed Tina's face. She hurriedly waved her hands at Tina. “ I'm very sorry about what my sister did. I'll try to make her leave Mr. Winters.” Tina shook her head. “ This is adults business. Are you also admitted?” Alexia nodded. “ Yeah. My illness is complicated but the only obvious one is short bowel syndrome. My surgery date is still far in the future. ”
“ Wyatt! How many times have I told you not to greet you daddy like that?” Wyatt held onto Finn's neck and stuck out his tongue to his mother. “ Daddy doesn't mind. Right day?” Finn laughed out loud nodding his head. “ Of course, little man. Your mother is jealous since I can't carry her” Wyatt finally spotted a figure at the kitchen door. He blinked his eyes at Kai then turned to his father. “ Daddy, who is he?” “ Umm...” He turned to look at Kai's stupefied expression. His face was devoid of any colour. “ This is Kai. He is a friend of mine. ”Kai's expression turned ugly. He watched as Finn lovingly patted Wyatt's head. He took a step back holding the door frame to steady himself from falling. “Daddy...something is wrong with him” Wyatt's childish voice sounded again as he pointed at Kai. Finn walked up to Kai and grasped his hand. “ Hey, are you okay?” Kai swatted his hand away. He opened his bloodshot eyes and managed to control his voice. “ I'm fine...I just...” He le
Seating in the huge dining hall all alone was something she had never imagined tonight. She looked around the hall and sighed. Linda placer her palm on that table and glared at Alyssa. “ You should eat before it gets cold. I won't be responsible for heating up your dishes. Mr. Winters already told me to take care of you. I'm honestly not happy about that but what can I do? You're still his little smart wife. ” “ If my guess isn't wrong, he went out late this night with a very worried expression. It's hard to see Mr. Winters this way. It must have something to do with Miss Tina. The last time he was this worried was when Miss. Tina got kidnapped.” Linda quickly look around and closed her mouth. ' What did I just say?It was meant to be kept as a secret.' Alyssa ears had already picked up Linda's last statement. She cocked her head to the side leaning her body forward. “ What did you say happened to Miss Tina? Why...I mean when was she kidnapped? ” ' This little slut actually eave
“ Well...took you long enough to pick up” He heard a sarcastic voice and had to check his phone screen to be sure it wasn't someone else. “ Your girlfriend has been hospitalized hut you're having fun with your little wife. I really admired your relationship with Walker but now, I can only conclude she had been blind for a really, really long time. Mr. Winters, I'm saying this as Walker's best friend, can you at least make up your mind? Don't be too greedy, just pick one. You can't keep on tricking the two ladies heart. Sooner or later, both of them will walk out on you and at the end? You will be left with nothing but the big fat name your family places do much importance on!’’ Quinn was taken aback. He couldn't remember the last time he had been scolded. He didn't even know who in the world would dare to talk to him this way. “ Look, I don't know who you and whatever your relationship with Tina may be, that doesn't give you the right to speak to me anyhow. Don't test me.” “ Tch...
Kahuna Hales walked towards the VIP ward and coincidentally saw Minny, Tina's assistant. “ Ah, Miss Hales, you're finally here. Miss Tina is taking a walk at the garden. I will inform her when I get down. ” Kahuna replied with a curt nod. “ Alright. I will wait for her in her ward. Go on with your work.” Minny bounced off again proceeding to press the elevator. While Kahuna waited for her own. She got onto Tina's ward and met the Nurse preparing a new bed. “ Ah...you're? ” There wasn't a specific visitation time for those in the VIP ward. They can come and go as please, of course if they were acquainted with the patient. “Hales” She replied coldly. She dropped her bag on the bed and sat on the plush couch. She grabber the remote and flickered the TV on. Her eyes went back to the Nurse who had a bewildered expression on her face. She arched her brows in her direction. “ What else do you need to do here? Get out now!” The nurse stomped her feet on the floor. Never in her life
