“ I said I'm not having dinner!!” Alyssa yelled from under the duvet when the door opened. She heard it close softly and sighed thinking the maid had gone back with the food.
“ Why?”Alyssa pressed her lips then opened it . “ I don't have ap...” Her eyes widened and she quickly removed the duvet and knelt on the bed immediately.Quinn sighed and dropped the tray he was holding beside her. He switched on the room light and thoughtfully stared at her face.Her nose and eyes were red and puffy like she had been crying for a long time.He also moved and sat down on the edge of the bed. “ You should try to eat something even if you're not hungry.” Quinn scolded her in a very gentle way.“I...I don't have appetite ” Alyssa said with her head lowered. Somewhere in heart knew he was about to visit Tina judging from his attire.Quinn gave her a soothing smile. There was no way he was going to exShe was so engrossed in her drawing that she failed to notice Alexia had already woken up and was quietly staring at her. “ What are you drawing?” Alexia sleepy voice asked. She was unable to hold in her curiosityAlyssa almost fell down from where she was seated when she heard her sister's voice. She quickly covered the sketch pad and turned to Alexia. “ Uh...it's nothing. I was just playing around with lines. How about a walk? You must be tired from lying all day” Alyssa stared at her expectantly with a smile on her face while waiting for her reply. Alexia looked outside the window and thought that the weather was nice. “ Sure. Help me up” Alyssa breathed out in relief and helped her to her wheel chair. “ I can walk ” Alexia rolled her eyes and adjusted herself comfortably on the wheelchair. “ Yes. I know you can. Just treat it as a car and treat me as your driver. Here we
Alyssa noticed something was wrong. Quinn wasn't heading in the usual direction of their house. She kept quiet and continued to observe what he was up to. Quinn noticed all of her gawking and smiled internally. He pulled his car up in front of a glass building. Alyssa's eyes widened at the breathtaking view in front of her. She could see everything going on within the restaurant from afar. It looked so romantic. Quinn quietly led her into the building wrapping his warm large palm against her slender one. She noticed several people acknowledged him as he walked in with her till they got into the elevator. With the Winters' blood flowing through his veins, it was expected of the people to do so either out of fright or respect. They got in front of a glass door and Quinn just placed his thumb on it. The door made a low sound and then he opened it and led her in. Alyssa stared enviously
Quinn had a very important meeting in another city so he left even before Alyssa woke up. Alyssa walked down the stairs without making much sound. She knew no one in the Mansion loves her. They only smile and talk politely to her when Quinn Winters was around. “ Good morning Madam.” A maid greeted her from the side. She smiled politely and responded to her greeting. She got to the dining room but found out that the breakfast was not yet set which was quite strange. She pinched her legs and quickly reminded herself not to get used to her luxury life since it will only be short lived.“ Madam? What are you doing here?” Alyssa grimaced when she heard Linda's sarcastic voice from behind. “ Mr. Winters is not around today so we didn't prepare breakfast. It already good that he is nice to you by providing you shelter. You can't have everything on a platter of gold.” Linda eyed Alyssa's petite back and snic
Quinn felt bad that she was leaving the next day. He didn't want her to go but there was nothing he could do. Her future and happiness came first. He wished she had not chosen to live in the school dormitory. It would have been very nice to drop her off at school every morning after placing a warm kiss on her forehead. All he ever wanted to do was to hold her tightly in his arms without letting go but he managed to control himself so that she wouldn't mistake his desire for something else. He busied himself with different thoughts as he picked various items for her. He knew she wouldn't pick anything if he gave her the liberty to do so. The thought of it made him mad. Whenever he went shopping with Tina, she was always the one pointing the items they needed. While on her toiletries, he contemplated on the shampoo she would prefer. Given how gently she was, a mild scented one would suit her best but he thought it was best to ask for her opinion.
Alyssa lowered her head playing with the hem of her yellow dress. Quinn had presented it to her last night and it fitted her tiny body perfectly. She was not the type with a hour glass shape but she wasn't the flat type. She was very shy and prayed the floor to open up and swallow her. All eyes were on Quinn and his entourage. To make matters worse, the Mr. Davidson came to greet Quinn and led the way to her hostel. When they got to her hostel, Quinn Winters shot Mr. Davidson a glance. Mr. Davidson wiped the invisible beads sweat on his forehead. “ Since you came a bit late, the rooms were already occupied so....I'm afraid that...” Alyssa gulped and stared at Quinn. He seemed unbothered by the fact she won't be staying in the dorm. She pulled a long face and Quinn noticed it. He moved to pat her hair but she dodged and lowered her head with a pout. He moved close to her and placed his hands
Alyssa got into the lecture room quite early and found a place to seat. She watched as other students tripped into the class till it got filled up. “ Do you mind if I seat beside you’’ A girl with a blonde hair and green eyes approached Alyssa with a smile.“ Sure” She moved her bag from the chair. “ OMG....you managed to buy this bag! ” Bianca exclaimed but quickly covered her mouth. Alyssa stared at her bag but saw nothing wrong with it. Everything was arranged by Quinn so she didn't have the faintest idea why Bianca looked surprised. “ You know what, this bag is the only one of it's kind in the whole world. It was designed by T.Y, the legendary designer. This was his first time to design a bag. My dad attended the auction. It worth more than a million ”She said in hush tone. Alyssa's mouth dropped in surprise as she quickly placed the bag on the table in attempt to prot
Alyssa took a seat in a quiet corner and laid her bag on the table so no one could see her. Even so, she could hear the boys' whistling and snickering from a distance.She suddenly became aware of many legs approaching her. She glanced up to see who it was...Alyssa shivered nervously as Natalie smirked.She cast a peek over to the three girls alongside her, who quickly squished Alyssa into the centre of their group.Natalie took Alyssa's hand in hers and drew her closer. She pretended to be terrified as she stared at Alyssa's injuries, which had already stopped bleeding.“ " I have a band-aid on hand." Let's see how that goes. " Natalie smiled reassuringly at the terrified Alyssa.She yanked her hand away from Natalie's grasp and lowered her gaze. " I'm OK. You don't have to be concerned."Natalie's cheeks was flushed with rage. Her fingers dug into Alyssa's cheeks as she grasped her chin.Alyssa's eyes began to water again as the rims of her eyelids became wet. Many of the students
“ I'm glad you finally have the time to accompany me. Quinn is always busy with work that it's been a while since I've had a chat with him. Tina....you should speak to him. Tell him family is more important that work. ”A middle aged woman said tenderly holding Tina's hand as they browsed the antique shop. Tina nodded obediently with a smile. “ Rest assured Mrs. Winters, I will make sure I talk to him. It's just that....Now that Quinn is married, it's understandable that he won't have time for you since his new wife may want his attention. ”Mrs Winters pretty face turned into a frown as her eyes narrowed. She pressed Tina's hand gently and sighed. “ This girl is really too much! I didn't object when Quinn decided to get married to her because that was the only way out. You should talk to Quinn more often and don't allow that lowly wench to bewitch him. Quinn is very fickle and almost easy to deceive once he sees a person with a kind heart. ”Tina bit her lip and shrugged her shou
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
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
