'Deprive the world from my little one? What was he saying?' Zenith thought as darkness began to swallow her subconscious. Her eyes tightly shut and everything began to fell into oblivion.Half of Terrence's face was covered with a piece of mask. As he came closer, he clearly saw that Athena has lost her consciousness. Under the mask, his face turned frigid and his nose flared. Another surge of anger rised inside him. 'I won't let you do whatever you want, Athena! Not anymore!' he swore.In a snap, Terrence's eyes darted towards the doctor and nurses who were both surprised upon seeing a lot of them coming in. "Abort the child if you dare!" He challenge through his gritted teeth.Shaking, the doctor stared at him with confusion evident in his eyes then he asked, "Excuse me? What are you talking about? You'd entered the wrong room!""Isn't this woman scheduled for abortion?!" Terrence questioned while glaring sharply at the doctor.The doctor shook his head and hurriedly explained, "No!
Terrence was relieved that the doctor manage to save the baby in Athena's belly. He was overjoyed and it only added to his desire to keep them both safe somewhere far from NY city. The doctor state that she's not allowed to travel because her condition had just stabilized but Terrence didn't gave in. He signed the waver, taking all the possible consequences of his action. Moreover, after taking off his mask, the doctor recognized him as one of the shareholders in their hospital therefore, even if he was reluctant to release his patient, he gave out a professional smile and agreed to his whim because the cunning CEO threatens to fire him if he won't sign Athena's release papers.Terrence also left a few instructions before they checked out. He demanded to keep the doctor's mouth shut as well as his nurses if they wanted to remain working in the hospital and for the sake of their jobs, they swore to mute themselves solemnly. Taking things into consideration, he took her records as well
"That's impossible!" Hannah retorted, panicking. "The doctor confirmed it to me that he has brain concussion and...""Okay, that's enough." Marie laughed. "I'm just bluffing you, Hannah. Don't be so serious about it. We must celebrate, you know.""Don't do that again. You're freaking me out." Hannah pouted in displeasure while fishing out her mobile phone from her purse. "I'm calling him right now..." she said as she dialed Terrence's number but then she was astonished. "THE NUMBER YOU HAVE DIALED IS OUT REACH! PLEASE TRY AGAIN LATER."Her eyes darkened but she tried again. The voice message keeps on repeating. She couldn't reach him out! Her face slowly turned ashen as Marie's words sank into her head. She felt inexplicably uneasy thus she dialed his assistant's number to squeeze out some information about her boyfriend but the line was busy and she couldn't butt in. Her insides began to twist in anxiety, feeling extremely uncertain. Marie's curious eyes stabbed at her friend's sul
Standing at the door way, Kim's interest was ignited therefore she pricked her ears. It seems to her that there was something more about his client and his wife hence she wanted to know what it was! Her curiosity spike up but her eagerness was abruptly jammed when Terrence's voice echoed in her ears."Kim, please close the door and take the space here with us." He said, "...since you're a private investigator, I assumed that you're probably interested to know about this. Furthermore, since you decided to step up and help me, I guess you'd become part of this as well."Kim let out a sigh of relief. She thought earlier that she will be pushed away that's why when she heard his voice, she felt a little disappointed but to her astonishment, he summoned her to listen as well. She felt gratified deep within because of his considerate behavior."Sure, Sir." Was her curt reply before she locked the door then she took a seat across them.Ashley's eyes turned hostile when it darted to Kim's fac
Recalling that disruptive moment at the hotel when he attended a business gathering, Terrence's lips curved up slightly. Somehow, he felt happy and proud of his wife for her unintentional distraction. At least she never let him down during that hour using her crafty way.Kim and Ashley noticed the changes of his face while his eyes darted to oblivion. They cast curious glances towards each other then to the man who was currently lost in his terrain of thoughts but after a few seconds, everything went back to normal.Terrence faced them both after gathering himself together and curiously asked, "If you sent the wrong file, which one was the right one? Why didn't you sent it again?""Ah, ahm..." Ashley couldn't help faltering while speaking. "Actually, Miss Zenith isn't aware of it and I haven't had the chance to tell her about it. I was about to tell her but we ran into another problem yesterday so I pushed it aside for the meantime."Now that Ashley mentioned the word problem, Terrenc
"You heard me right. She doesn't belong to Stanford family but the Monroe's bloodline." Ben repeated nonchalantly. Displaying a nonchalant expression in his face, Terrence replied, "Let's say, I believe in you. Isn't it too late for this? She's dead, remember?"Ben chuckled while shaking his head, "As Athena Stanford perhaps but my Zenith Monroe is alive.""Why are you telling me all this?" Terrence's voice sounds albeit displeased with the man's revelation thus he couldn't help throwing out words to lessen somehow the irritation he felt. "The Stanfords are all devastated as well as my family because they thought that she died in that explosion while here you are, telling me that she's alive, gaining another identity as your granddaughter. Does this sounds funny to you?""And how about you? Do you even mourn for her death as her husband?" Ben bellowed.Terrence's eyes darkened as he countered. "What do you mean? Do I look like I am celebrating?""Young man, I may be absent from her l
Hannah and Marie truly enjoyed their celebration together as they come out from the bar, drunk and wasted. Without paying so much attention to their surroundings, they staggered carelessly at the pathways, heading towards the area where their car was parked but halfway through, a car almost hit them both!Peeppp!!!Peeppp!!!Peeppp!!!They were lucky that the driver was quick to step on the brakes or they would have been hit! The driver constantly hit its horn to let them out the way but they just laughed like they hadn't heard anything. They turned their backs and dragged themselves slowly, ignoring the car.Marie thought that the driver would come out and berate at them but to her surprise, it didn't came out and rather, the car parked in a space nearby. She didn't dwell about it too much as her head was already spinning hence she followed Hannah.They hopped in but the problem was both of them couldn't drive towards home as both felt tipsy and dizzy."Who... Who was supposed... T
The night deepend but after his meeting with Ben Monroe, Terence summoned his brother in law, Anton Stanford for a drink in Monroe's bar. The latter agreed without hesitation and promised to arrive in just a few minutes. While Terrence was waiting, he poured himself a shot of liqour, drinking it in one go to ease his worries and longings for Athena who remained unconscious when he left the island but he swore from the bottom of his heart that he would come back to accompany her after dealing the matters that she left. HIs mind was full of their memories together but it halted when his mobile phone vibrated under his pockets. He fished it out as he expected that it might be one of Athena's nurses but when he looked into it, his face turned sullen. Disgust filled his eyes as he watched the clip sent by Kim. Without finishing it, he shut if off and resumed drinking. Bang! The door burst open and Anton stormed in. He had his face darkened as he strode forward, taking the empty seat acr
