*Warning some scene can trigger bad memories and family affairs youv'e been warn* “ What are you doing here Liam?” I asked, Finally I felt relief when I spoke and not feeling the pain in my cheeks and jaw. The X-ray said it wasn't broken but my cheeks are swollen and a bit blue. “ Who did this to you?” Liam came closer to me but I grabbed his hand before he could touch my face. “ It’s ok, I can handle it? How’s Lori? Is she asleep?” Liam nodded his head. “ I told her you will be back tomorrow. God I miss you, I needed to see you the moment I heard from Dad that you're in the hospital caught in a minor accident.” He grabbed my hand and kissed it gently. I smiled at him lovingly. “ You surpass your dad in so many ways sweetie.” I caressed his cheeks and Liam nestled his face on my palm. “ That person won’t care the way I care about you Nicole.” He came closer to me to kiss my lips but I stopped him. “ I can’t do anything with my swollen face. Why don’t you go home tonight Liam
After we left the place Claire and the rest of us went to a boutique. She instructed the woman on what she wants and it has to be custom made. They took my measurement while Claire busied herself looking for more dresses. When they were done they also took my son’s measurement and Mikhail. While waiting I sat on the couch where Claire sat. “ I know what’s bothering you but you don’t have to worry, I can handle that woman and if not James is one of the top most sought after Lawyers in the country he never once loses a case. So cheer up Alexandria.” Claire patted my back and I agreed. “ Are you always like this Claire?” I just wonder why the twins have different attitudes when it comes to family and other people. “ I was not like this when i’m still single but Mikhail showed me how the world is. When you don’t fight for your right and keep silent, you're giving your enemy a chance to trample over you. Our lives are completely different from ordinary people. The upper society has a top
The weeks have gone fast. Today is the day we are attending a birthday party on Clyde’s side of the family. He didn't say who the birthday celebrant was but I just followed the flow. Whoever it was we were about to meet in just a few hours from now. At the moment I'm busy dressing Alexander in a black suit with a white polo shirt inside and a cute little red bow tie. It fits him well and I'm surprised at how detailed the custom made suit is for him. It looks classy like the motif of the party is in the year 70’s. After brushing his hair neatly in a sleek back style and he's all done. “ Wow, you look completely different, my love.” I complimented him which made him smile. ” Do I look good mommy?” “ Why yes, of course! like a classic gentleman.” Alexander looked puzzled with what I've said that made me chuckle. ” I mean. you look great in your hairstyle, which is a classic style from the 80’s if i am not mistaken.” I will explain further. ” Ok! I get it now mommy, thank you.” He
Goodness! The makeup artist still needs to do my hair and makeup. I hurriedly went to the bathroom. When I was done with the shower I dialed the number in the staff room and asked a staff member to let the makeup artist into our room. First thing she did after introducing herself was dry my hair and styled my long brown hair. She curled my hair to the middle length to end and styled it sideways. Then she moves on to my make up. She said It would be better to do my makeup first before I wear the evening dress. I just followed what she said since I don't really have a clue on what to do next. The makeup artist added a light make up on my face. On my eyes she put some metallic brown for my eyeshadow delicately adding some details on it that emphasized my round hazel eyes, She curled my lashes and added some water proof mascara on it. A bit of blush on my cheek, a red lipstick and I'm finally ready. Actually she did more than that, I felt some water mist sprayed on my face but I’m so sle
We rode in our Mercedes car going to the airport. Clyde, who's upset of me being stubborn, remains quite like my son who was engrossed in solving crossword puzzles. Once in a while Alexander will bother us to ask for help. Sometimes Me and Clyde would accidentally stare at each other’s eyes but I was always the one who broke the stare game. I know one magical word I'm sorry will be enough to let it go so avoiding him is the best that I could do for now. Seeing his possessive side is quite overwhelming, i mean i get that the dress show’s abit of my cleavage and hugs my body in a way that people can see my body figure. Half of the back of the dress is open in v-shape that shows off more skin but overall it was an elegant dress. It is up to the people to put malice on it and I believe Claire won’t choose this gown if it's going to label me as a slut openly inviting viewers to see my body. When we arrived at the airport we were escorted to his jet plane back to Texas, where I grew up an
" Please darling, be comfortable to call me Amanda, and this handsome man next to me is my husband Christopher," she said, introducing Clyde's father. " Welcome to the family Alexandria, thank you for giving us such a lovely grandson." He said before going down on his knees reaching his hand to my son who is now hiding his face behind my gown. A sophisticated laugh came out of Amanda's lip. " Ohh, dear, the child must be scared of you. Come here, little sweet guy. I'm your grandma and I have a little present for you." she said in her soft humming voice that made my son poke his face out behind my gown and look me up with a questioning look, about what he needed to do. I smiled at him and bent down on my knees to level myself to him. " Alexander, remember when I told you we’re going to meet daddies mom and dad? Well, here they are now. Go give them some hugs, big guy." I said to him in an encouraging voice. He nodded his head and whispered. " Ok, mommy" He then walked to them shyly
Clyde fetches me and Claire and we all gather together at one table. It was already the highlight of the night. Amanda stood up and walked on the stage and the Mc gave her the microphone. "Good Evening everyone. Before this evening ends, I would like to take this opportunity to thank you all. Thank you for giving us your precious time just to attend this old lady's birthday party." Amanda said, joking aside. Everyone laughed at her joke. “ At the age of 62 oh boy, I can tell my body is much weaker than when i'm in my mid fifties. But I have no complaints, only gratitude that I can still stand straight in front of you all. I feel so blessed that my twin Clyde and Claire have their own family and that they look in love and happy.” She added with a tear in her eyes. Christopher stood beside her wiping her teary face. “ Oh, let's not forget my dear husband who was always there for me. Thank you also to my son Clyde for taking over the Harlington empire and for surpassing your Dad. We
I left Alexander to Ms. Charlotte. I kissed my son on his forehead and said goodnight before I quickly followed Clyde to the other room that was left widely open. I can’t believe he just left like that without even saying a single word to me. I was taken aback when the room didn't even have a light. It's dark and the only reason I wasn't bumping into something is because of the light illuminating from the moon. I never thought this place was so huge. " Clyde, are you here? " I shouted out, confused if he was here. Strange, I knew he went inside here. When I noticed the balcony was open, I went out to check if he was there and my gut was right, he was sitting in a two-seater, wooden chair. While smoking a cigarette. Goodness! It was my second time I saw him smoke. After that day in the shopping mall I never saw him smoke a cigarette again. Damn it! So what now? How am I supposed to explain to him, I didn't do anything wrong? Besides, why was he with Nicole? My tongue is itching
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
“ 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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
