The Noble“ It's been a while since we've visited our old hangout together” Tina shook her head chugging down her beer. Kahuna Hales smiled at her friend's statement. She took a shot of her strong drink before scrunching her face. “ Spill it. I know you so well” Tina laughed out loud. “ I thought I successfully hid it” She took a deep breath and recounted all that happened about five months ago to Kahuna. The understanding friend listened attentively only asking a few things when necessary. “ Although his mother assured him the engagement will still take place, I don't want to force Quinn ”“ Poor you, you still think about him after he cheated on you at a party you attended together. While he was fucking someone out there, you kept on thinking your prince charming was having a chat with his assistant. As a friend of mine, I can't watch you being the fool here, okay? If he can have sex with someone then, why can't you do the same? Tina snickered. “ You know I will never do tha
“ Hahaha....this is insane. I can't believe he tried to freestyle on highway. ” Kimberly held her belly trying to control her laughter. Some of the chips in her snack container littered the floor but she didn't mind. With her eyes still glued to the TV, she tried to pick up the nearest cookie box. Unfortunately for her, it fell down spilling the content. She pouted at the fallen cookie before reverting her gaze. It looked like she was filming a mukbang show with several packs of snacks around her. Some were empty, some were still unopened while some had its content over the floor. Her loudness irked the one preparing breakfast in the kitchen. Not once did Kimberly assist him. She just kept on commenting on the movie she was watching. While they were having breakfast, Kimberly couldn't just keep her mouth shut. “ Mason you really need to watch it. It was funny watching the scene where Vicky confessed her love to her crush. She looked so shy unlike her badass nature. ” She stuffed
Alyssa paused her steps, her face heated up recalling yesterday's incident. Great, just great. She forgot to think about the first word to tell Quinn if she sees him. Feeling the intense stare at his back, he turned towards Alyssa waving her over with a smile. “ These butterflies! ” Quinn wasn't wearing a business suit but rather a wooly sweater and a pair of pants. He looked simple yet gorgeous. His choice of sweater coincidentally matched with her gown. “ Morning love. Did you sleep well enough?” He pulled her into a quick hug before opening the passenger door for her. Alyssa blushes at his endearment. She nodded bashfully before slipping in the car.His lips curled into an amused grin. He went over to the driver's seat and started the engine. ‘‘ You will drive?” She gave him a strange look. “ How come you haven't grown used to it? Let me be your driver for today ” He brought her hand close to his lips kissing each of her five fingers. He focused on the road like nothing happ
“ Avery, what are you doing here? It's late already ” A silver haired man said walking towards a five year old girl. “ Uncle Finn! I want to be a detective. A book in auntie Tasha's room states that bad guys lurk around houses at night and they're being caught by detectives. I also want to catch bad guys!” She explained flexing her invincible muscle. Finn squatted to her level and ruffled her hair. “ If you want to be a detective, you have to grow up healthy and study well. Remember what I said about growing healthy? ” Avery blinked her bright eyes before bobbing her head up and down. “ Eat lot of fyoots” She wasn't able to properly pronounce ' fruits ' due to her incisors missing. " What else?"“ Erm...sleeping early, waking early and...” “ Avery! You this naughty girl” A woman pulled on Avery's ears earning a squeal from the young girl. “ You don't have to do that, Katie. I was just having a little chat with her.” Finn said standing up. Katie's face was red in embarrassment.
Alyssa twirled happily in front of her dressing mirror. She couldn't be more happy since today was the last day of her examination. She hurriedly grabbed her backpack and put on her glasses. She made sure to lock her door after leaving. “ Hey!” She heard a voice as she walked out of the females dormitory. She smiled and ran over to Bianca. “ You look happy today. Could it be because of today is the last day?” Alyssa nodded. “ Yeah. ” Bianca paused her lips as they walked beside each other towards the lecture hall, now converted to examination hall. “ Bibi....” Stacy called out walking towards the two girls. She used her shoulder to bump Alyssa before standing between the two girls. “ Woah...Stacy. I thought you finished your exams yesterday. Why are you here?” “ Nothing much. I came to have a chat with you. Aren't you about going inside before? Let's head in” She held Bianca by shoulder and they walked inside leaving Alyssa out of their chat. Alyssa bit her lips. Even after
Country XA middle age woman stood in the middle of her bedroom staring at a picture frame. A younger version of herself stared back at her with a young handsome man behind her with his hand wrapped under her protruding belly with a young boy of about five years beside his mother. The family looked very perfect. It was the kind of family anyone would love to be born into. A salty water fell on the frame just as the door opened. She wiped her face with a smile before walking towards her husband; the older version of the man in the picture. “ What are you thinking about? You don't have to follow be all the way. I will have Shawn accompany you till I return in two month's time. “ No, darl. I've made up my mind and you know no one can stop me when I do so. I will follow you to Country N. I have a believe that my daughter is alive and somewhere in that country. ”Neil stared at his stubborn wife for a long time before nodding his head. He dropped his hands on her shoulder. “ Come, you
" Don't worry Jeff. I'm making dinner today since Sophia isn't home. You can have dinner before leaving ” A lady said swinging the hands of the man beside her. The man shook his head with a horrified look on his face. "Well...if I'm staying, I will cook. Your hands are only supposed to work at the hospital. ” “ Just say my cooking is baaa...” She clamped her mouth noticing a familiar figure getting out of a red Porsche. She felt the hairs on her neck stand in nervousness. Her boyfriend noticing her tense muscles slowly rubbed her back. “ What's wrong, Lana?” She was too shocked to hear him questioning her. “ Why did I have to run into her?” “ Her? Who?” He asked looking around. Lana raised her hand to point at the lady approaching them without eben soaring them a glance. Probably because of the stares she was receiving, her head snapped to their direction. She huffed before walking towards them in haste. “ I know you couldn't be trusted the moment I saw your green eyes. So wha
The car screeched and stop jolting the person in the shot gun seat awake. “ Are we there?” Kai asked sitting up. He turned to Finn and noticed his look. “ Yeah.” Finn replied with a curt nod. He got out of the car leaving only Kai. Kai pursed his lips and also got out. He folded his hands looking at the houses in front of him. It looked entirely different from what he expected. “ Is this your house?” “ Yeah. Not only mine though ” Kai nodded in understanding. There were several houses scattered across each other. It looked like a community. Finn walked ahead with Kai following closely behind him. Kai needed no one to inform him Finn was unhappy with his intrusion but he brushed it off. “ Uncle Finn, uncle Finn” Amery and a little boy ran into his embrace. Finn squatted to their level and pinched their cheeks. “ How is my little prince and my little princess doing? ”“ I'm actually fine but Bruce isn't. His tooth fell off...haha” Amery made jest of Bruce while wrinkling her n
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
