Winter Bear; Stay With Me. Chapter Fifty-Five.
Little Mario was excited to see his friends getting picked up by their parents as they waved goodbye. He knew one of his parents would be here soon to also whisk him away so he happily watched the others leave and put on his backpack by himself. “Mom will be happy to see my painting” He said to himself, holding his little water bottle in his small hands that hung down from his neck by its ropes. “Is that so?” This wasn’t mommy’s voice, he rose his head hesitantly and met with a strange face he had never seen before. His reflection showed on the dark lens of the black framed designer shades the exotic woman donned on her fair, thin face. ‘Mommy said not to talk to people I don’t know’ He pressed his lips together, showing his will not to entertain the strange woman that smiled, understanding the defense he was putting up. ‘As expected of him, he’s his son after all’ The woman smirked and stood up, a woman coming to her silent call. “Take him” She turned and left, quick on her heel

Bloom was done with all she had come to buy at the convenience market and stepped out with a big accomplished smile. Distributing the shopping leather bags between her hands, a hand suddenly darted over the bags for her left hand and she elevated her gaze. “Adrian?” She gasped with surprise and the man shrugged, displaying his charming smile that no longer evoked anything from her. He was disappointed at that and whined internally with jealousy to see her empty reaction but he put up with it. “Hey, surprise seeing me around here huh?” He wore a causal tone that spoke of his clean intentions and she lowered her guard with a nod. “I don’t see you so often” She admitted and he hummed, ‘Did she feel my absence and wish to see me?’ His mood was set alight by that thought as he helped her and they began walking. “Had lunch? You can join me” He proposed loosely and Bloom went frigid. Her son and his father had tagged her already for that afternoon and she dared not miss it for anything.

“Mr Warren!” The host was quick to lend help and Sharon did the same as they both came to his sides to support him. His lids squeezed shut tightly, his insides were aflame, ‘But there was nary enough alcoholic content in that drink’. It baffled him and set him in a state of confusion towards why he was feeling this way. “Quick, get the valet to bring the car to the driveway” The host ordered the attendant who immediately did as told while him and the CEOs secretary assisted him out of the establishment. “Huh? Mr Warren?” A woman almost bumped into them and when she took a closer look, she recognized him in the middle and the woman to his left. When the secretary lifted her gaze and saw her, she was shocked. “Hey Anna why haven’t you gone in already? Or did you forget to make the reservations?” That voice…it was that woman, the one the boss held and worshipped in high esteem. Sharon knew she was about to be called out for her conniving schemes and struggled to keep her cool when B

Both women saw Stefano running towards and sighed with relief. When he got close, he gave Anna a raised brow to which she giggled at, “Sorry, I just needed you to get here real fast. Mr Warren isn’t in a presentable condition right now and neither of us can drive”. He stared at her, long and hard before expelling a delayed breath, “Damn, I thought it was something tragic. Hop in, I called a friend to take my SUV”. While Anna got into the front passenger seat, Bloom stayed in the back to keep the intoxicated man steady. As she rolled the window down, a gust of icy cold wind breezed in, causing her to shiver and her lover to hug onto her, muttering about how cold it was. “I expected you to have fallen asleep already” She forced through clenched teeth as she stiffened in his arms, thinking if she refrained from giving a reaction, he would let her be. But it wasn’t any helpful as he held on tighter, burying his face into her neck again as she sighed. It was hopeless anyway, in this in

“What the- Oh, who do we have here?” At the sound of that voice, Bloom tensed considerably and spun around but he was already few steps away from her and donning his famous malevolent smirk. “There some sort of problem?” He stood abreast of Blo who had suddenly gone mute. These were powerful characters that hadn’t met one another before. She wanted to keep it that way for as long as possible. But fate had a way of exceeding ones expectations and there they were. “There’s nothing” Bloom suddenly looked drained and didn’t know what else to say to him. The older woman noticed her sudden deviation in attitude and wondered who the man was to her. Nevertheless, it was none of her business the relationships she kept in her life. Valerie was ready to make her exit and said one last thing to the younger woman. “You should do well and stick to my advise, little miss. I’m not quite forgiving of my offenders you see. Savor it while it still lasts”. “Don’t you think that’s a little overboard, f

“I have to take this- don’t leave the car till I get back in, okay?” It was more of a light-hearted warning that made the woman pout and nod her head. “Go on, I won’t go anywhere” She gestured her hand out and moved it in a shooing manner while he shook his head and got down. It was an important call he had to pick so he pulled up to the side of the road, away from the expressway to do that. Pablo would turn around to look at the car and Tania would wave her hand out at him with a toothy grin stuck on her face. His attention was pulled completely off her suddenly after he heard something that hardened the look on his face and made him frown grimly. “Don’t let him know about it just yet- and keep this to yourself”. He ended the call, his strong fingers gripping around the phone tightly as he battled his anger and came out victorious. Raking a slow hand through his hair, it was as if he was ridding the lingering unrest that he oozed as he spun around, hoping to apologize to her for t

Once again, the enemy had reached their hand out and tried to grasp what was his away. Once more, he had been tested and taunted. Pablo fisted his hands and lifted his steeled gaze but what met him instead was the agonizing sight of his woman suddenly letting out a screeching scream with her hands spread out and desperately clutching to either sides of her head and her eyes shut tight. “Tania!” He brought her into his arms, holding her dearly as he kissed her on the head and held her face so he could search her frantic tired eyes and speak to her. “Hey…you’re here with me now, they won’t dare come hurt you anymore. I won’t let any harm come to you okay?” She nodded tentatively and he kissed her again, wrapping his arms around her. Lifting his gaze above her, he saw a pensive Bloom who looked ready to ignite her water works once more if anything occurred with the woman. Her worry and extreme concern touched him, he was glad and thankful such people had been around when such a dreadfu

Pablo's resolve became incontrovertible, it was time he addressed the issue directly and not sit behind his desk asserting and commanding results. When he arrived at his destination, in a malicious gait, he was lunging through those large tempered-glass doors, unconcerned about the staff around as he sent himself riding the elevator and indignantly bursting into the Salvador's office. Gazes met with malignant standoff, Pablo taking calculative strides into the office room while the stout and obstreperous man stood up from his seat, wearing a supercilious smirk. The group of four men clad completely in black suits were already reaching their hands into their suit jackets, prepared to pull out their guns on the spot as they formed a shield in front of their boss who waved his hand to have them return to their posts while he approached the younger man. “What’s with the impatience to come see me heh? That eager to come thank me for my little gift?” Salvador spoke with a scruffy voice, a

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

“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

“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
