And Bloom left, leaving the CEO haplessly expectant at her return but when she did come back, Sharon intercepted her. “You can hand that over and get on with your work”.“Oh okay” Bloom handed it over to her and was rather thankful since it meant she could finally get to the reason she was there.As Sharon walked away, Bloom followed and quickly dashed in the direction of the washroom. Hayes sighed at her escape and flipped through the folder on his desk.‘Finally, I can be with him now’ Sharon held a triumphant air as she stared down at his lowered head.She held the edge of the saucer loosely and stepped closer to him. “Sir, here’s your coffee” And she tipped it.“What the fuck?!” Hayes shot out of his chair in rage, causing his secretary to step back with shock scribbled all over her face.“Are you blind or something?!” He glared at her, the menace in his voice forcing her to cower beneath the full brute of his wrath.‘Why is he so angry?’ She shivered, unable to piece an apology to

Shooting her hands up to prevent him from recapturing her, “I’ve had about enough flipflop of emotions for just one morning. I should go now”. It was bold of Bloom, her voice didn’t waver at all and Hayes straightened, eyes probing her for a fault. But she was sealed completely.“Have lunch with me later” He returned to his chair and she blinked. “Uh…I already made plans with the girls and Anna would skin me alive if I ditched” She threaded carefully to avoid upsetting him but he was already hosting a frown.‘Ah…I made him angry again’ Bloom chastised herself and tried to cheer him up. “But I can spend half of it with you, then later join the girls. How’s that?” She wore a persuasive smile but he turned away with a grumpy face while grumbling under his breath. This side to him was amusing, he was being childish and Bloom was always hooked.She giggled and nudged him, “Don’t be too possessive of me, I’m all yours remember?” Hearing herself admit to those words, her chest fluttered and h

Now that he thought about it, it was the first time he was going this farther into her house and it filled him with intrigue. In her case, he always dragged her to his place and it stirred an uneasiness within him. Hayes felt guilty and promised to get her coming to his abode of her own volition and freely like he was entering hers that evening.When they got to Mario's bedroom, he was already droopy-eyed and this made his mother grin widely. “Perfect, you’re all tired and sleepy. Let’s quickly get you bathed and ready for bed okay?” The boy nodded lazily and lifted his arms so she could pull off his shirt.Hayes was busy looking around the child’s room, a nostalgic feeling welling in his being. It drove him back in time, to the time when he still had his little brother and how they often played in his bedroom.‘Ethan’ He reminisced and turned around to watch his lover and his son with passionate eyes. ‘I won’t lose you two, I promise that’.*Bloom’s brow twitched in annoyance and she

“Do you realise where you are? And why are you in such a state?” Hayes was displeased with her sudden appearance and couldn’t mask it all up in the way he spoke.Sharon shivered under his tone and her lips wobbled. But she had to hold on and relay the urgency that drove her here.“S-sir it’s an emergency. W-we just received a call from BizRobotics and they cancelled the meeting. N-not J-just that- they’ve even dissolved their partnership with our company-“What?” That was a synchronised outburst from everyone present in the Boardroom who were now on their feet as the secretary rambled on. The CEO’s frame shook from the unbridle shock while the other members exchanged alarmed glances.Hayes was confused, that company had been partners with his company since its founding. He couldn’t believe it, why now? The meeting scheduled for that day was one that held prominence for the future of both companies.They were going to bind a contract to lengthen their partnership. Not to mention it was

It was around four p.m that same day when the CEO walked into a large metal and glass cuboid building. The front exterior of the magnificent structure was a cuboid shape but what got it that outstanding attribute were the three other same sized cubes structures that were adjoined to the other three sides of the intended cuboid. The cubes appeared as if they were jammed into the cuboid from their different edges that had the rest of the cubes hanging firm and turgid.As he approached the front desk reception, something buzzed in his pants’ pocket and he pulled out his phone.Placing the gadget against his left ear without checking the caller ID, he spoke glacially, “What is it?” His mood was sore and his expression displayed it to perfection.“Mommy I think some scary person picked up daddy’s phone” Hayes froze at the sound of the child’s voice.From the other end, he could hear sounds of hurrying feet as well as Mario’s call for his mother and his glacial armour melted away instantly.

“Did anyone else come in search of me?” Seated behind a very cluttered desk was Pablo, crushed in exhaustion and dismay as he listened to the reply of his PA who nodded her head. “Mr Hayes Warren…and he was extremely furious”.Pablo sighed heavily and rose up from his chair. He waved at her to leave and walked round his desk to lean against it with his arms folded and head hung.Answers eluded him to why he would so suddenly receive that dreadful phone call. ‘Who are they and what exactly is their aim?’That day was an important day for his Company and W.M Companies. Not only on the basis of the contract they had in view, but he was finally going to reveal who he was as well as to cement the transparency both Companies had been working with.He sighed, torturing his locks for the frustration he was going through. That call from some unknown individual had sabotaged the relationship between them and placed an innocent life at risk. He had no choice but to comply to their bidding else…he

“Anastasia!” Hayes thundered her name, the blaring force of his voice shaking the whole place and traumatising both women.He nailed the offensive woman with his reproachful smouldering gaze for a minute too long and stormed off, not forgetting to grab Bloom along his trail.Anastasia was sure she had died from his thunderous, deadly warning and held her chest with trembling hands. ‘What am I always doing wrong to warrant his rage like this?’ It was concurrent and only brew worser each time. Was he that repulsed over her?*Angry, cursing and puffing…the Bloom could only watch him and hoped he recalled his cool soon. She didn’t know what do to to help and contemplated what approach would yield best. Poking the base of her chin like Mario normally did, an idea struck her and she beamed.She walked towards him, caught his face in her palms and did a very ludicrous thing. She kissed his nose and smiled like she had done the proudest thing in the world.She was grinning even and he fought

Little Mario was wagging his tail before the reluctant Stefano who was trying his damnedest best not to give into the child’s playful antics. The two women seated on the two-sitter couch were giggling at the hilarious sight when the boy’s mother walked into the ward with a tray of food in her hand.Stefano was being stubborn and was defiant to their persuasions to let his anger go. He was still not yet clear with his father and so Mario was put up for the task to pull him out of it. He had held on for minutes but there was clearly a limit to how much he could remain inexorable.And he finally gave in, throwing his hands down in defeat and swiping up the boy into his arms. “Ugh, I can’t keep up with it anymore. Why do you have to be so irresistible huh?”Stefano whined, running his fingers into Mario’s sides to tickle him.Anna chuckled at them and helped Bloom with the tray, “Ah you’re such a life saver, I haven’t eaten all afternoon”.Ella looked to her friend with a frown, “Says the o

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
