173 - Lucy?

last update Last Updated: 2025-04-24 02:24:59

Liam Fernando visited the hospital as soon as he touched down in South City.

Despite his busy schedule, he always made time to see June while he sought solutions to her vegetative state. Over time, he gathered some doctors who believed they could help June's situation or at least increase her chances of revival.

Nothing was promised though as the success rates were as low as one percent. Nevertheless, Evelyn, Liam and Lucy were ready to try anything sane if it meant they could heighten June's chances of recovery.

Liam was escorted by some men who stood outside June's hospital ward while he went inside. June was plugged into the ventilator, still and beautiful as ever. Lucy stepped in a second later.

"You are here," She looked around. "Where is Mother?"

They heard the toilet flush and got the answer to her questions.

"I brought in some doctors. They will be here any second." Liam stated with a blank look.

Just then, the bathroom door clicked open and Evelyn walked out of the place

    "You're alive!" Lucy cried, unable to believe it. She rushed towards June and held her palm. "Are you alright? Do you feel pain anywhere?" Lucy's voice was hurried and full of affection. "Water.." She croaked, meanwhile, Liam beeped the doctors and soon the ward was filled with medical professionals who checked on June. "How many fingers am I holding up?" The medical director asked."Two," June replied. "How about now?" "Five." Liam, Lucy and the others watched tensely as the doctor carried out his evaluation process. "It's a miracle." He said after a few minutes. "I've never seen such a smooth recovery in my forty-five years of practice." He spoke with awe. "You must have done something right in your previous lifetime, Miss."June couldn't be bothered with his words. "Where is Rafael?" She asked, "I need to see him. What happened to him? And mother? Where is she?"Lucy was alarmed at her friend's question. She looked over to Liam, begging for assistance. She couldn't inform Jun

  • The Rejected Ex-wife   175 - Mario Castello

    April touched down in North City with Lydia Cordel. The entire trip was spent with her pleasuring Lydia who suddenly became her mistress, while she worked hard to satisfy her sexual urges. April didn't mind doing anything in exchange for her protection, but she hated how Lydia took what she wanted. She soon realised the sort of bed play which intrigued her new boss and hated the fact she had to play the submissive to cater to her intrusive desires. April was hardly a submissive and having to embody that to a woman like herself infuriated her. April noticed Lydia's sudden change in demeanour as soon as they landed in North City. The air was warmer than South City and April looked forward to her time here. "Remember," Lydia ran the plan through to April, while looking through her phone. "You are my distant cousin from West City looking for a job as a security official." "Distant cousin from West City," April repeated. "Got it." Lydia swallowed when she saw the fleet of black SUVs

    Tears poured out of Evelyn's eyes upon sighting June, seated on her bed, awake, alive and in tears. She blinked, unable to believe it was indeed her child. The one she had watched for the past seven months, bereft and holding on to the hope that one day, she would look back at her with the brown orbs she'd grown to miss. "Mother..." June cried and made her way to her mother who sat in a wheelchair. As soon as Evelyn woke up, she refused the doctor's advice and insisted on seeing June immediately. Lucy tried to calm her and exposed that June was well and awake, which worsened the situation. Mrs Evelyn tried to pull out the IV drip when she heard that June was awake but thankfully, the doctor was there to help the situation. After a few long minutes, Evelyn was dressed and placed in a wheelchair with her IV drip made to go. "Child..." Evelyn cried. "Is that really you? Are you truly alive?" June walked up to her mother and held her hand. "I'm so sorry, mother." She cried. When Eve

    Liam guided June to the hospital bed and Lucy gave her water. After hearing the devastating news of Sheila's demise, June had a minor panic attack that almost took her out, safe for Liam's timely intervention and breath exercises. "Do I need to call the doctor?" Lucy asked, reeking of worry. "I'm so sorry." She slapped her mouth, "I didn't mean to lay it all on you so fast." June shook her head and handed over the cup. "What happened?" "April? She-" Lucy was ready to speak when June interrupted. "Sheila." June said, "How did it happen?"Liam cut in. "You don't need to know the gory details." His words carried an air of finality. "Not in this state." For the first time, June backed down. Never did she imagine that Sheila would be gone. She hoped that Sharon would be out to see her alive, even if it was the ventilator keeping her alive.June wanted to keep that option open so Sharon could gain closure. And Sheila too - if she managed to survive the situation. All of her hopes in t

    Later that night, June sat in Carson's office with a straight face. Luis has gone to bed and she decided to meet with Carson regarding Rafael's case. Carson was happy to explain. "We tried everything to resuscitate him all to no avail. It's concerning as the more he remains asleep, the slimmer his chances of waking up." "He will wake up," June said with a determined look. "I believe he will.""Of course," Carson said. "The fact that you are awake is a testament that hope is not lost. We will continue to try our best.""In the meantime, there are some things I'd like to run with you." He cleared his throat. "Luis has been with me ever since the accident. Rather, I have lived with him in Rafael's house, considering Mrs Beatrice is on house arrest."June's eyes widened. She had almost forgotten that little fact. Her heart wrenched at the thought of Luis's plight in all of this. With Rafael and his grandmother out of reach, these past few months must have been gut-wrenching. Even Carso

    Time passed and soon June decided to resume work. Lucy ate her ears off through a phone call on speaker while June dressed up. "Some meetings have been scheduled for your comeback to society.""We should host a press conference and speak to the general public. For today, we have to meet the president. He's been a supporter to JL, and the hospital during these trying times." Lucy said, "I'll come to the house to pick you up.""There will be no need for that," June said, surprising Lucy. "I have an engagement for this morning. I'll meet you at the office later.""How about the president?" Lucy asked before June ended the call. "I was thinking-""When is the appointment?" June asked, cutting her off. The sound of flipping paper was heard in the background. A few seconds later, Lucy responded. "One pm noon." June's eyes flickered to the wall clock in her room, it was almost seven am. That would give her enough time to visit Beatrice's confinement home and return just in time to see the

    June was dropped off at JL Architectures headquarters. Lucy stood in front of the building with other employees who waited to welcome the CEO and boss they had expected for so long. Lucy smiled as soon as she saw June highlight from the vehicle, "Quick! She's here! Greet her properly!" June was stunned when a pop sound reached the air and diced sparkling papers rained upon her. "Welcome back to JL, Miss!" They all chorused with stunning smiles that melted June's heart. Standing between them were some employees she identified, Joel Patel and some other designers she hired during the start of the business. They were all so happy and showered her with flowers and gifts that brought tears to her eyes. "Thank you so much," June said, moved by their bold display. "You are all so beautiful.""You are welcome, ma'am!" Some said while others smiled warmly. The entire office was decorated to suit the welcoming party atmosphere. The inscription, welcome back to your world, Miss Rivera, was

    "You are stupid to think you can steal from me and live." Andre Cordel roared from his seat while the others watched. April was dressed in male clothing and standing beside Lydia who watched the execution of one of her husband's men. It had been a while since something like this happened in the Cordel mafia family. She had almost forgotten how cruel her husband could be with the presence of April who secretly warmed her bed since their arrival in North City. Andre returned in the early hours of the day, almost catching her in the act with her supposed cousin."Please! Please! Forgive me! I will never betray-""But you did," Andre said with an evil glint in his eyes. "And you know the rules." "Please! I can explain," The young man who had been beaten to a pulp tried to speak with his bloodied face.Andre chuckled, the sound was terrifying to the others who knew what followed. "Humour me," He said,"I was going to pay you back! I swear! I only wanted to pay for my mother's surgery! I

    Lucy sat in the hotel room, dressed in her blue dress and texting Liam for an answer. When her phone finally rang and Liam displayed on the screen, she excused herself, and stepped out of the room. "I've been texting you for the past thirty minutes!" Lucy whisper-yelled as soon as the line connected. "What's going on? The mother's have been blowing my phone and I think June is already suspecting me.""You can leave the hotel. I arranged a car to take you both to the venue. It's a white limo." Liam said, expertly avoiding Lucy's question. "You still haven't told me what's going on! I deserve to-" Two beeps and the call disconnected. Liam hung up on her. Lucy gritted her teeth, trying to control her anger. She couldn't mess things up. Not today. She would handle him later. Summoning a smile, Lucy returned to the hotel room."We need to leave. Our ride is here." She said and June squinted, raising her head from the document she studied for the past several minutes. "Ride?"Lucy's ey

    June sat in her office chair when Lucy hurriedly entered her room. "We have to leave!" She said with urgency in her tone.June blinked in confusion. "Why? Is there a problem?""Yes! The president is coming to visit the South City project site with some key investors.""The president has requested you to take them on a tour on site. We don't have much time." June got on her feet, gathering her phone and some other essentials, alongside the project blueprints. "How long do we have?" She asked. "Three hours." Lucy said, "According to the news, you are to get something with the investors before heading to the site.""The president has assigned our makeovers. We need to leave immediately." "Makeovers?" June asked with a frown. "Why would we need makeovers?""We don't have time. I'll explain on the way." Just like that Lucy dragged June out of the office for a makeover. They arrived at a hotel just close to the airport and while June tried to gather her thoughts, the hired team of pro

    April got into her hotel room dressed like a man. Her eyes were narrowed in anger as she threw down a lamp from the bedside table. "A surprise wedding, huh?" She gritted, blood burning with anger. "I'll give them a wedding to remember!" April flew into South City in disguise for a secret mission for the Cordel family. After seeing the press around her sister and Rafael's survival as well as her mother taking over the Lontoc and Rivera companies, she sought for an opportunity to come into South City and when the opportunity presented itself, she took it with both hands. However, due to her condition as a wanted person she couldn't go about freely for fear of getting caught as a dupe. The first few days, she spent carrying out her business with her colleagues until she had some free time. She decided to find out what her silly sister was up to and stalked her house only to find out she had long packed away. Apparently, June was living a comfortable life as the wife of Rafael while s

    "You are going to be an older brother." June said to a young Luis during dinner a few weeks later. The entire family gathered for a small dinner. Evelyn, Lucy, and Carson were present alongside Mrs Beatrice who celebrated the wonderful news. "I'll be a grandmother!" Mrs Evelyn cried, "I'm so happy for you, my child."The evening was a cozy one as they all congratulated the couple on the news. "You are finally getting all the good things you deserve." Lucy said, "I'm so happy for you."The night was not over as June decided to add another joyful news to the equation. It was her mother's wedding anniversary and she hoped to brighten the day with some good news for Mrs Evelyn. "Thank you all for coming to celebrate with me." June said in a speech, "I want to use this medium to appreciate everyone for your intense support."She turned to Mrs Evelyn. "You've been the best mother to me, helping me through the hardest part of my life.""Child...""I just want to thank you. I am in a hap

    The next few months were a slow recovery for Mrs Beatrice with the support and love of her family. With the constant reassurance and love of Rafael, and the entire family, she was gradually becoming stronger which was good news for the extended family who were finally in unity. Rafael returned to work and in a matter of three months, Ambrose Corporation was able to make a startling profit of over seven hundred billion, quickly retaking their position as one of the top corporations in the world. June was not left to the side, JL Architectures were making waves with the new South City project up and running and the public support. June and Rafael made their relationship public, garnering the support of the masses who followed, adored and loved the powerful couple. The news raved about how they survived the ghastly accident, their journey as a couple and their unconditional love for each other. Everything progressed well and on Luis's birthday, his parents and family showered him w

    June woke up to soft kisses from Rafael who lay beside her. She smiled in her sleep as she blinked awake."Rafe-" She swooned, palming his face with a Loving gaze. "Hey, Wifey." He mused, "Good morning."Rafael proceeded to lavish kisses on her face, going in for her lips but she tactically avoided him. "I need to brush my teeth!" She said when he continued trying to kiss her on the lips. "I don't care-" Rafael mused. "Now let me kiss you." He demanded softly and she shook her head. The next second, June slipped away from the bed, successfully evading his kisses and giggling when her husband wore a duped expression. "I promise you can kiss me for as long as you want," she said, "Right after I freshen up." June hopped into the shower after taking care of her business, and halfway through it, the door opened and Rafael joined her inside. "Rafe-" June's eyes widened when she saw him walk in naked with his hard member in full display. "I'm only trying to freshen up too," Rafael mu

    Liam returned to the Fernando estate and went to the dungeons where Lydia Cordel, the wife of the Late Andre Cordel was being held. "I was wondering when I'd finally see you," Lydia said as soon as she saw him at her gate. "I thought we were partners?""Do not forget your position, woman." Liam's voice was cold and aloof as he took on the aura of the cold mafia don he was. "Your life is a gift that could be taken at any time. You are advised to treasure it well." "If you wanted me dead I should be dead by now," Lydia said purposefully. "And I'm not dead.""Yet." Liam finished in a gritty tone. One of his men brought him a seat and he sat right in front of Lydia's cell, which was better than most since it had a bed and she received health care. "Tell me the truth and I might consider letting you keep your gift of life." He pulled off his black shades. "Did you or did you not kill your husband?""I did." She answered without skipping a beat. "And why would you do that?""Because he

    June and Rafael spent their days together. It was like an unofficial vacation and honeymoon. Rafael made good progress on his health with June around to love and supervise him. Everything felt surreal for the love birds who had been apart for so long. One day, the doctor came in with good news, stating that Rafael was ready to leave the hospital, and scheduling him on weekly appointments to monitor his progress. June could barely hide her happy tears. It felt like everything was falling right into place. Although Rafael's legs were not strong, they were on the right path and she believed that in due time, he would learn to use his legs again. "I want to be discharged today," Rafael told the doctor, interlacing his fingers with June who sat by his bed smiling happily. "I can't spend a day more in this hospital." June laughed at the desperation in Rafael's voice. It's been a few rough weeks since she moved into the hospital with Rafael constantly trying to make love to her. They h

    It was the early hours of the day and June was fast asleep when her phone started ringing. Having slept in from her busy night, she silenced the call and turned over, hoping to get some extra sleep before returning to Rafael's mansion. The phone started ringing again, disturbing not just her but Luis who turned in his sleep, disturbed by the noise. This time, June silenced the call, got up from bed, and headed out the balcony to answer the call. The phone stopped ringing before she could pick up and started ringing within a few seconds. It was Carson."You better have a good reason for calling me this early in the morning," June said once the call was connected, irritated from having her sleep disturbed. The line was flat. She could hear breathing but there was nothing. She removed the phone from her ears and checked if it was still active."Hello?" June said when she was certain the call was still connected. "Good morning, wifey." June stiffened upon hearing a gruff masculine
