The Dreaded Proposal Chapter Twenty Four
Alyssa sat calmly on the stool with her head lowered down. She was well aware everyone had gotten a glimpse of her with the light shining on her tiny body. She was secretly thankful to Tina since she would be able to showcase a one of the numerous talent she has. She raises her head to confirm if she had Quinn Winters attention. Her eyes met with his and she quickly averted her gaze to somewhere else. She was unable to understand the lump in her throat when seeing Tina and Quinn sitting close to each other. It reminded her of her flaws and the type of person she was. It felt like a torture to her so she looked around and finally found the group of people she was searching for. Kimberly waved at her with a smile and whispered something into Rose's ear. The latter giggled and smiled at Alyssa.Mason just stood there feeling relaxed while occasionally sipping his wine. Alyssa rolled her eyes when their eyes met and directed her gaze to the pianoforte sitting in front if her. *“ Do

Kimberly stretched her hand for Alyssa to take. “ I can't believe I was worried for nothing. You play beautifully well. I'm sure if my dad was here, he would have nagged about how useless I am when it comes to art. I'm really proud to be your friend” Kimberly praised Alyssa excitedly. Alyssa thought she wasn't hearing well. She blinked her eyes and turned to Kimberly.“ Did you just say f-friend?'' She took a quick glance at Mason and pursed her lips. “ Of course. Don't you want me as your friend? ”“ No...no. It's just that...” She bit her lips lowering her gaze. “ It's just that I've never really had a friend aside from Mason so it feels a bit strange ” Alyssa replied truthfully. She raised her head and stared at Kimberly's crystal clear eyes. “ Oh dear....don't worry okay, you now have me as your friend and number one fan” Rosé shook her head, about to tease them when a low cough was heard. The four of them turned their attention to direction the sound was heard. Ruby placed

“ Ah...yes. I'm very grateful for today. I met lots of people. I even made friends.” She said feeling proud of herself. Quinn Winters ran a hand over his face. He straightened up and stared at her quietly. Alyssa felt his stare on her. She avoided looking at his direction and rather felt solace staring at her feet. “ Uhmm...what did you discuss with my grandmother?” Alyssa tightly shut her eyes to calm her self down. She wasn't the type to keep secrets only that she was a bit tight lipped than Alexia. Quinn whose eyes didn't leave her face for a second noticed and analysed all of her facial expression. At first it was shock, then fear, before looking a bit normal. “ Nothing much. She wanted to see” She scratched her head. The loose strands that slipped out of her messy bun perfectly carved her face. Quinn's hand itched to caress her shiny hair under the dim light. Rather than fulfilling his wish, he unbuttoned the first three buttons of his shirt.He left his jacket on the cha

Quinn heard the a sonorous voice that belonged to a female coming in the direction of the living room. At first he thought it was Alyssa but as he got nearer, he instantly knew who the voice belonged to. “ Hey ” He greeted taking his seat picking up his phone on the couch. As he walked into the kitchen. “ How did you get in?” “ The pass code is engraved in deep my heart” She replied playfully. Quinn scratched his head. He remembered she was the one that came up with the pass code.“ Huh...I actually forgot about that ” Tina shook her head then walked towards the cupboard. Bringing out a deep plate, she sighed. “ It's given. You often forget things a lot. Just like you forgot to inform me when you were leaving yesterday. Do you know how anxious I was. I mean...I know nothing can happen to you but you should have told me. “ I was hoping to dance with you but instead, I ended up dancing with Kai. He was the one that explain the reason you left early. He told me Alyssa was feelin

Tina turned off the tap and stared at Quinn. With a smile she asked “ Don't tell me you are nervous. Though your expression says it all, I refuse to believe. ” Quinn distanced himself from her. He placed his hands in his pockets and deeply stared at her. “ Let's cancel the engagement. It's not too late for announcement. ”The smile on Tina's face didn't disappear. “ It's not even April fools day. What the heck are you talking about. It's not too hard to admit you're nervous about the engagement and all that. ” She raised her hands up trying to emphasize her words. Quinn wasn't deterred by her words. He expected her not to take his words serious. They had been together for quite a long while with no big issues between them. His sudden utterance was uncalled for. He knew nevertheless that he had to inform her about his plans as soon as possible. “ Alyssa is just a young girl who knows nothing about the world. If I decide to get engaged to you, she will feel unsecured. She is in her

“ Let's eat. I made a lot for three of us but since Quinn is not available, we have to stuff ourselves” Tina giggled. Alyssa also managed to smile with much difficulty. She could never understand how Tina always managed to act like everything is normal between them. The silence in the dining room was deafening. Both of them were lost in their thoughts. While Tina was brooding over what had just transpired between Quinn and her, Alyssa was feeling guilty. “ About that, sorry you had to see us that way. I must have made you ill at ease just like Quinn stated. Actually I can't recall the last time we had an argument but now, I guess due to circumstances, there will be many more to come’’ ' By saying circumstances, is she referring to me?' Alyssa didn't feel like eating any longer. It wasn't a surprise she dropped her fork because no one would feel comfortable eating her husband's girlfriend's food. ' Does that mean because of me their enviable relationship will fall apart. Then...

Quinn didn't expect his reaction to the question to be as serious as that. He passed him a glass of water. Kai received it half standing. He took a gulp and placed it back on the table with a loud bang. “ I suddenly remember I have something to do. I will get going” Kai hurriedly grabbed his coat a d left without turning back to look at Quinn. “ Hmm...” Quinn placed his hands on his chin before knocking on the table. Two staffs entered the room and promptly cleared the dishes leaving only the decanter and wine glass, on Quinn's order. * Kai ruffled his hair as soon as the night breeze hit his face. He closed his eyes, taking in deep breath to steady himself. Alas! His heart had other plans for him. He could feel his heart beating fast like it was about bursting. He ran a tired hand across his face and sighed. ‘ Where are you, Finn? Where the hell are you?' He kicked the tyre of his car in frustration. “ Arrgh!!” His emotions were unstable probably because of the enormous

Bianca glanced at the yokel beside her. She gave her a tap on the shoulder and mouthed a few words. Alyssa shook her head vigorously with a scared expression on her face. She adjusted her glasses and concentrated on the teacher's instruction. “ It's just for a while. Don't act as if you're not bored sitting in this old man's class. ” Bianca whispered, placing her lips close to Alyssa's ear. “ But it's wrong to leave the class while lecture is ongoing. ” She said through a small opening in her mouth. Her eyes were still focused on the teacher. “ You're wrong. It's only wrong when you skip classes frequently. ”Alyssa was also tempted to leave the class. Today's lecture was super boring. She kept on yawning from time to time. “ Then how do we leave the class?” She asked, finally turning her attention to Bianca. “ You just have to leave that to me. ” She smiled mysteriously. “ Mr Hugh!” The teacher stopped his speech and stared at Bianca. He didn't have a good impression of Bian

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.

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.

“ 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.

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

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.

“ 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...

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
