Winter Bear; Stay With Me. Chapter Eighty-Nine.
Pablo wondered about the little boy’s whereabouts when he didn’t see him and smiled, ‘Oh’. Mario was at the table next to theirs where there were two other little boy’s who occupied the table with their parents. ‘He’s made new friends for himself huh’. “…you think the directors will prove to be problematic to the process?” Pablo reeled his attention back to his friends who were still deeply into their conversation. Alexa huffed arrogantly to Hayes’s test and replied effusively, “It’s not like they could have a valid reason to do that. I’m doing them a favor, they should be thankful at most”. Pablo chuckled at her arrogance and chimed, “You get so cocky Alexa, don’t forget mishaps could always occur”. His taunt earned him a deathly glower from her, “That’s where the stark difference between us lies prominent. I best you in efficiency, such absurd mistakes are not to my attribute”. Pablo’s expression was robbed, instantly replaced with a flummoxed one as Hayes chuckled. These two w

“Mario! Your father’s gonna leave you behind if you don’t come downstairs now!” Bloom hollered towards the staircase from the hallway and got replied by the boy’s shriek. “I’m coming! Daddy please don’t leave- ah! I found the stocking!” The mother giggled as she paced back into the kitchen to pack up the boy’s lunchbox. His father was seated at the breakfast bar and lifted a brow when he saw his lover giggling into her palm and approaching the island. “Why are you busy giggling to yourself? Up to your mischief with him again huh”. He sipped his steaming coffee and Bloom flinched, her face heating beet red and his gaze simmered, ‘Cute’. She shook out of it and cleared her throat as she opened the top cabinet cupboards. “He’ll be down soon, you should also get ready. My class today begins in an hour so you don’t have to drop me off”. That was because threes weeks ago after they had all returned from the short trip to the resort, she had picked up her old interest in baking and had

However, on rounding to the back, there was nothing and nothing had bumped into the car as even the car was without a dent. “The hell…” Sergio frowned, cursed under his breath and got back into the car. Sergio placed his hands crossed at the wrists over the steering wheel when his eyes casually flitted up and into the rearview mirror. “Shit!- He was instantly attacked from behind before he could prepare a counterattack. Whoever it was, was skilled and quick enough to hook their arm around his neck, having him imprisoned in an iron lock and using their other hand to press a thick cloth against his face. ‘Fuck, I screwed up!’ Sergio wouldn’t be taken care of so easily. He threw his arms behind him and missed the stranger’s head entirely. The cloth seemed to have been drugged and with the struggle they were in, he was being forced to exert much energy that made him vulnerable to respire. As his mind shook, hazed and began to lull gradually, in his floundering vision, he was able to

“Ow…did I bump my head against something?” Sergio hissed, his face wincing in pain as he sat up slowly with a hand rubbing his forehead. It took a moment before the situation around him kicked in and he was up on his feet at once. That was when the ringtone of his phone came ringing and he entered the car. “Shit…” There was so many missed calls from Stefano and one currently incoming. Hurriedly, he swiped the receive icon and pressed the gadget against his ear. “Um Ste- “Where the fuck have you been?! Why weren’t you picking up?!” Stefano’s thunderous voice blasted through the phone speakers and Sergio had to pity his poor ear and instantly pull a good distance away from the phone extended away in his hand. Stefano’s anger was justified and the tables seemed to have turned. It was Sergio who had messed things up and would need to tender an apology to his enraged brother who kept raking over the phone until he suddenly stopped. Maybe he noticed Sergio wasn’t trying to butt in and e

“Hardly. And his mother? Doesn’t her car dispatch next?” It seemed Adrian couldn’t conceal his impatience when it came to Bloom.‘What a shallow minded man’ Valerie observed and looked away at the sleek black car that came cruising down the back garage. “She’s just leaving, taking a different route in case our enemies are onto us. Just in case”. Adrian hummed, his unremitting gaze on the car as the men got in and began to accelerate away. ‘Soon, Bloom…you will be mine to cherish and adore forever. I will make you forget all about that man and accept me wholeheartedly’. Valerie watched Adrian’s lingering gaze on the car that was accelerating out of sight. It was amusing to her, she had their petty lives right in her palm and governed them to her selfish disposition. Valerie was no one’s ally and was liable to disposing of anyone she whiffed of the slightest disloyalty and obstruction of her goal. ** “Wait wait- pull over” Stefano suddenly tapped Hayes behind the steering wheel as

But, there was an unforeseen interruption. A shot was fired towards the spot Stefano crouched at and he missed by a breath and made a dive for it, falling onto his back with a slide and whipping the firearm in the direction where the surprise shot had been fired from. That single shot distracted the three people downstairs and Hayes made a mistake of looking away and up towards where Stefano was. Adrian mirrored the same but had quickly reverted his attention and pulled the trigger, firing three consecutive shots. All six men dropped limply to the floor with thuds and Stefano threw the rifle and bounced onto his feet. He quickly got the railing and was smacked with great shock to see what had occurred down there. “Hayes!” Adrian and Valerie had fled the scene in the temporary commotion and were escorted to their individual cars by the rest of the men they had hired. Deserting the fallen man there, crumbling to the floor and left to die. Stefano was down the next moment and came to

“You’re acquainted with them?” The chatters ceased and Pablo went silent for a moment, recalling it must really be the first time she was seeing Stefano. He nodded, “Yeah, we’re sort of related”. Sergio jumped when he said that and threw an arm round his neck. “Hey, what’s that to mean huh? We’re your older brothers, the only ones you’ll ever have. Stop acting like we’re some pain up your ass”. And the foul language and his uncouth mannerisms…Alexa frowned openly. ‘I’m worried for the upbringing of this child…then again, I’m not the exception myself’ She cackled suddenly, drawing the men’s attention her way. It was a blow to her, to come to the realization she couldn’t not ship herself with the men and she was retreating away in defeat to her iron principles. She entered the ward and shut the door. That was weird, she just cackled to herself and trudged away. What a strange woman. Stefano was also taking his leave, “Every passing second draws her farther from our reach. I’ll give

“Laura, pass the glass of water. She’s waking up” The woman spoke to the girl who immediately went over to the bedside table and gently picked up the tall glass of water and handed it to her mother. Bloom who had been brought in earlier that evening, was scrunching her face and rousing from the state of unconsciousness she was brought in. Her face rumpled more and she shot up with a violent sneeze, startling the other two. Bloom was dumbfounded when her eyes came open. Where were those men she had been with? The surprise attacks and gun shots…her eyes were surveying her surrounding and she couldn’t recognize the unfamiliar faces before her. Mrs Jefferson eased her dilemma by speaking to her first, “You were rescued from the ones who held you captive. I know you’re frightened and still yet to come around with what you’ve been through but I assure you, you’re safe now”. It felt…strangely warm and assuring, to listen to the tender words of this woman who had a similar hair color to he

Bloom laughed heartily to what Anna was saying at the other end of the line as she pressed the button at the bottom of the pen. "You really want to do that? Mario would love it but I don't think Martha would want to join in. It's her day after all..."She was making a list for her daughter's two-year old birthday party and had asked Anna for some suggestions in case she was missing something. "...I think I might have to revise my budget once more" She pouted, using the butt of the pen to scratch her hair as she peered down into the rough scribble."It's good Ella's going with me- you should come with as well..." She began to walk away from the island, heading out of the kitchen where the children's voices came blowing against her.Mario came running down the hallway in pursuit of Benjamin who carried a happily babbling Martha in his arms. Bloom shook her head and stepped back into the kitchen before they would knock into her. "Ben, stop inciting the kids!"She moved away from the phon

“Listen to me! She’s not worth it!” Bloom grabbed his head, raising on the tips of her toes and forcing him to bend down to her as she held a fierce look, searching his flaming orbs as she spoke in a hushed tone.“Hayes…look at me, you’re better than this. I know you can control it…for Mario, you’ll scare him”.Sudden realization struck his mind and he shifted his gaze to look over at the boy who was clutching his grandpa fearfully after his father had barked in that loud and reprehensive voice. He felt sad to see the fear reflecting in the boy’s innocent eyes and deflated simultaneously under Bloom’s gentle pressure. Valerie looked at him calming down and huffed haughtily. Her gaze lowered to her tied hands in front of her and pain distorted the look on her face. She might’ve plotted to get rid of his mother the night of that fire but…she had lost the most valuable things in her life as well. “My avaricious jealousy drove me into committing such a vicious crime…snatching my children

It was Pablo who grinned at the glaring man and innocently walked in, in the company of his sister, his mother and the Don. When Mario felt the new presence that entered into the ward, he looked away and beamed to see Pascal. Carrying his plastic bowl in his hand, he was once again making a great dash. “Grandpa!”Hayes had never seen the Don before and as he observed him closely, he could see the prominent features Pablo had was inherited from his father. “I see you’re having quite the moment yourself huh” Pascal smiled as he had the boy in his arms and the child giggled guiltily. Mario saw the woman that came with them and looked at her with unfamiliarity and he questioned in a small voice, “Are you my grandma?” The child’s innocent question had the adults looking his way and Mrs Jefferson gave him a warm, affectionate smile and quickly glanced at his mother before nodding. “That’s right, I’m your mommy’s mother and that makes me your grandma”. ‘What?’ Bloom, Pablo and Laura were

Standing up, “You could’ve all had it easy if it had been Stefano on your tail…but not me”. Their voice went dangerous at the end and the petrified woman was on the verge of hyperventilating as three loud shots echoed around her and she jumped with great fright. “W-who a-are you?…w-who s-sent y-you…” How shocking it was to see her so badly shaken, it was utterly pitiful to watch and they huffed at her question and came to squat in front of her with their firearm dangling in their loose grip. “The grim reaper, out on a hunt for those who dared to cause Bloom Santiago, pain. Now, on your feet, old hag” They held the gun firmly and pushed its muzzle into her cheek to drill in the command. “Try to disobey me and you end up like that blonde pussy”. She shivered after she heard that. It seemed Adrian had been…she gulped, the situation had completely turned in their favor and all she had worked so hard to build withered away in that single instant. “Move it”. **Bloom entered into the

“Quick! Get her to into the building!” It seemed Valerie had been shielded in time as the commotion began and three men were guiding her as they were running in the direction of the back entrance to the house. ‘Like I would let you get away, you vain witch!’ Adrian couldn’t go after them however. Not when bullets were flying about the place sporadically and the number of fallen men kept on the increase. He had taken cover behind a wall and peered out cautiously to see they were all down and the attacker was nowhere in sight. ‘Did he go after them instead?’ He thought that plausible since they must’ve not been only after him but Valerie as well. Whoever they were that had skillfully mingled into his men and kept their profile hidden so perfectly. He froze, there was a sound that defused behind him and his body stilled on an impulse. He heard it again, louder and closer this time and shook wholly at the dreadful sensation that drenched down his form when he heard the cocking of a g

Laura was going to say that normally but it seemed she was rather excited about it than she presumed. Bloom burned even more at her announcement and shrank into herself, wanting to vanish right that moment. ’S-she’s pregnant?’ Mrs Jefferson's brows shot up with pleasant surprise and she walked up to her and held her hands. Bloom felt nervous and antsy as she lifted her gaze and was stunned to see the big smile on her face. “Does he know?!” Ah, this bubbly girl. Bloom was helpless towards Laura and could only blush so hard and bite her lip as she shyly murmured her hesitant reply, “N-no- how would he know anyway when I only just found out?” Laura grinned toothily and Bloom flushed, knowing she was being played with as she sighed. The girl was such a jovial and boisterous person and so the shy and reserved Bloom couldn’t help but get dragged into her pace and teased like that. “Laura, don’t be a bully and spare her your troubles” Mrs Jefferson chided her daughter who innocently zipp

Sergio was walking down the corridor, in search of the little boy. Mario had suddenly just ran out of his father’s ward and since he was small, he quickly disappeared from his uncle’s sight and was currently nowhere to be found. He had thought the boy would be in his uncle’s ward instead but couldn’t find him there either and he was heading to the lobby when he passed the stranger who was stepping out of the elevator. ‘Hmmm?’ Sergio stopped and turned. He saw the back of a man? Well, the build did give away it was definitely a man who was clad in a biker’s outfit and holding his helmet beneath his right arm. His eyes narrowed but he was distracted when he recalled the boy and took a left turn for the stairs, thinking Mario would have taken that way. The stranger smirked and glimpsed at the departing Sergio and walked on. Appearing in front of a ward and reading the name on the doorplate, they pushed the door open and walked in, shutting it behind them quietly. As if they knew before
