I screamed in horror as I watched Clyde shield us with his body.“No!” My hand lifted in the air as I saw my husband fall on the ground behind me. It was like what had just happened played in front of my eyes. Tears started streaming down my cheeks as I tried to reach Clyde but things became darker and darker and it was suffocating that I couldn't breathe. I shouted Clyde’s name and asked him to wake up and it was only then that my eyes fluttered open and I was greeted by the room's darkness. The only light emitting was from the post lamp. My brows furrowed as I looked at my wristwatch. It was already 8 in the evening. I remembered talking to my parents and Alexander before I went to bed this morning. After that I felt like I was stuck in a dream that repeatedly plays on after the cycle of events was over.I pushed my body to move and I sat up on the bed feeling my head was still heavy. What my mom probably gave me was sleeping pills to help me sleep. It took five minutes before I felt
I shut my eyes, Rearranging my thoughts.“ Ok, Are you certain that I can predict the password?” I asked in a serious tone of voice that even my son sit up on the couch properly.“ I am absolutely sure, trust me you mean the world to Clyde, I know it’s something only both of you know.” I took a deep breath, I really don’t want to leave my husband's side but if this will help him. I wanted to try if I could be of any help. I am not that well versed in the world of business but I am well aware that one huge business deal means a lot for a businessman.“ Fine, I’ll leave after I revisit Clyde in the hospital. Does my in-laws know about this already?” I inquired.“ They know, but are you sure you want to leave tonight?”“ The earlier it's done the faster I can go back and be by my husband's side. You only need to arrange that the private jet is ready when I arrive at the airport, James.”“ Absolutely! Rest assured it will all be taken care of Alec, You only need yourself and will be fixe
Within two hours I arrived safely in the Oak Hill VIlla in Jefferson city. I was greeted by familiar faces who were shedding tears. They are the ones I often see, serving Alexander and me at home. “ I’m back, you guys should greet me with a smile, why are you all shedding tears?” I asked while Miss Charlotte came forward and asked if she could carry my hand bag. I gave it to her and dismissed the other servant with a grateful smile etched on my lips.“ Where is James?” I asked while we stepped in the elevator.“ Mistress, Mr. James is at Master’s Clyde office.” I walk straight to the office after the elevator opens.“ Mistress, would you like something to eat or drink?”“ Did James have his dinner?” I inquired “ Mister James doesn’t want to be bothered, the last time he asked for food was at 3 o’clock in the afternoon, Mistress.” I nodded my head in acknowledgement.“ Please prepare two green teas and a light sandwich will be fine, Thank you Miss Charlotte.” I knock once before punc
Chapter * 119 She Found The Answer *The room was huge and had a big bed near the balcony. Everywhere I look, the very walls of this room are basically filled with small or big picture frames of me while I was still pregnant, while I was working on my Aunts small Cafeteria, until I gave birth to Alexander. What caught my attention was the huge portrait I had with my son when he just turned one. I wonder if Clyde pays off the photographer to get a copy of it but it doesn’t matter. I know he was obsessed with us and somehow even though it defies practical reasoning. Deep in my heart I am glad that he was there in every milestone of our son. Even without knowing, just thinking how much effort he has to put in just to have a glimpse of us from afar. A stabbing pain fierce through my heart. I wipe the tears that slip down on my cheeks as I wonder how much pain he had suffered when he wanted to be with us and he couldn't. I glance at James whom I caught staring at me. His eye’s show sad emo
James looked worried about me but eventually said fine and I immediately clicked the file. It was a video compilation and It plays right away. The video looks a bit old, probably from six years ago when I was still pregnant with Alexander. I gasped when I saw myself in the video walking around with a big bump. Serving some customers who ordered my aunt's famous homemade carrot cake. The video was taken not far from where I stood . It was a scorching hot day and I remembered I collapsed from the heat but I don't remember how I ended up in the hospital without any injuries at all. But in the video the camera shivered the moment i held my head trying to fight off the dizziness that i am feeling at that moment and then everything became blank but not on the video who somehow still caught the entire event. Clyde stood behind me grabbing my shoulder with one arm making my body rest on him before he scooped me up, surprising the people around the cafeteria. My Aunt came out of the casa and
When we reached the airport it was only then that I realized that I had already forgotten about the file that I’ve just read. When I asked James he told me he will make sure to delete it because we left the secret room in a hurry and Neo was not instructed what to do with the file. I sight and thank him for everything. When I landed in Iowa City I was grateful to see that Mr. Fred was there waiting for me. When I glance at my phone it seems like nothing has changed after I left my husband. Sitting in the passenger seat I felt a throbbing pain in my head. This fast 24 hours has been a roller coaster ride. The overwhelming stress, flying back and forth to this city but it doesn’t matter even though my legs are aching my stomach is a bit upset. As long as I can see Clyde the moment the sun rises up. I will be ok, we’ll that's what i thought but upon arriving in the hospital my stomach became unbearable that Amanda who just arrived as well notice my pale look.“ Goodness! Dear, how did yo
“ We will also head out so Mom and Dad can come and see you. Amanda was so eager to check on you but decided for us to buy you fruits. So make sure you try to eat all of them ok?” Claire rolled her eyes pointing to the big basket of fruits before patting my hand while smiling at me. Guessing by her reaction my mother in law probably overreacted seeing the wide variety of fruit in the basket. “ Thank you Claire and Mikhail.” Claire's husband just nodded his head as he placed his hand at the back of his wife while his free hand was holding Yulia’s.“ Bye Yulia, let's play later.” Alexander waved his hand to her and Yulia uttered “ok.” Waving back to my son. This fast few months that the Mikhaylov Family Live in our home in Oak Hill. The two became so close like they were real cousins. A smile forms on my face as my dad and mom come closer to the bed. Dad brushed my hair while mom took my hand and squeezed it gently. I can see Mom has misty eyes so I tried to cheer them up.“ I’m ok,Th
I turned my body to the side, using my other arm as a support for my head while my other hand lifted to spread to the side some of Clyde’s hair that's covering his forehead. Upon closer look it seems like Clyde had more fine lines in his forehead and in between his brows. I can even imagine how he looked when I was kidnapped and thought I was drawn when I fell in the sea. I bit my lips because I felt like crying. “ Hi, My Sneaky Clyde.” I pause and place my palm on his cheeks that have growing stubble. “ Can you feel my warmth? I hope so. You know, I miss you so much. It felt like we’ve been apart more than the years I haven’t seen you. It’s probably because I love you. That's why not seeing each other even for a few days seems like decades to me.” I took my mask off and planted a kiss on Clyde’s lips. Then I took his left arm and gently placed it on my belly.“ I have good news for you Clyde, remember when you talk about having a football team? Well, congratulations because we’re

When we came back after forcing myself to eat just to have power to start the day. Claire booked a hotel where she, Yulia, my son and my parents can stay and rest while we are waiting for the news of my husband waking up. When we came back I saw the staff of the hospital start preparing Clyde’s room. It's fascinating how money can move people to do things efficiently, if Clyde is just an ordinary person and we are living a normal life. I stop myself from thinking because I start having chills all over my body. If we are just ordinary people Clyde won’t have the privilege to have a good Doctor attending to him nor a private room that no one can bother him with while he recuperates.Not long after everything was arranged in my husband’s private room, one nurse came out telling us that the attending physician was inside waiting for me and Amanda to come inside. Amanda warmly held my arms as we both entered the room.As we open the room we are welcomed by the beeping sound of the monito
