101-Too painful loving him

The entire Kord family watched Karen walk out of the mansion. Mrs Kord was in tears as she begged Kevin to go after Karen but Kevin just stood rooted to the spot, in tears.When Karen reached outside the mansion, Ian's car pulled over. He stepped out and was immediately alarmed over Karen's state."Jesus! Karen..are you okay?" his eyes fell on the luggage, "Did..did something happen? Where are you going with those heavy luggage?"Karen sighed, "I'll be fine, Ian. I need to find myself again. Can I ask for a favor?""Of..of course,""Please take care of Kevin," she bursted into tears just then, "Please make sure he goes to the optometrist and gets his eyes fixed tomorrow."Ian was surprised, "How..how did you manage to get Mr Kord's consent?""I didn't. It came with a huge price." she answered and Ian wondered what it could be."Did you..did you know Sam is pregnant?" he finally dropped the bombshell and Karen sighed."Yes." she added, "Forgive me for not telling you, she wouldn't let

102-A new era

Ian was in a state of confusion. While both Karen and Mrs Robinson tried Sam's number it was not going through. Mrs Robinson crashed on the couch after finding out that Sam's closet was entirely empty. She did not leave a not as well. "Sam..Sam left the city," said Mrs Robinson, "She changed her number to stop us from contacting her! What could be the reason, Karen? You're her friend, why did she run away?" Karen did not know what to say. She was hurt that Sam did such a thing without informing her. She never would have let her leave. "I..I don't know, Mrs Robinson." "And this man..why is he here?" "He...he-" Karen stammered but Ian stepped forward. "I found out that Sam is pregnant with my child. I came here for both of them." Mrs Robinson felt like fainting. She didn't understand why Sam ran away instead of locking this rich man down with her pregnancy? "Is there a way we can find her?" asked a worried Ian but Mrs Robinson said, "She's a grown woman. I don't know where sh

103- Beg for it

Kevin did envision this. It seemed that his father and brother are bent on making his life a living hell. If it weren't for his mother, Kevin did not mind sleeping on the streets.He picked out his phone and called Ian."Hey, you up now?""Yes. Are you busy?" Kevin asked."Yeah, been finding prospective job opportunities for us but seems like there's something wrong." Ian answered.Kevin asked, "What do you mean.""Whenever I mention your name, they end the call. They won't even let me explain. It's odd. Any company should be happy to have you as an employee."Kevin hissed, "My father must have blocked my means of getting a job.""What are you gonna do now?""I'll need your help, Ian. A place to stay for the meantime before I can get a job." Kevin answered."Of course." Ian readily agreed, "Where are you? I'll come pick you up."Kevin gave his address before ending the call. He turned and found his mother seated on the ground with her hands around her arms. She must be cold.Kevin wal

104- It's Karen

Six months later."Yes, Aunt." Karen was saying on the phone, "I took good care of myself while I was away.""I don't trust you," said Aunt Maya, "You cannot take good care of yourself as much as I can care for you, Karen."Karen smiled despite herself, "I miss you, Aunt Maya."After a short silence, Aunt Maya asked, "When are you coming back, Karen? Isn't six months enough time for you to come to terms with yourself?"She continued, "You have only a month left, won't you love to spend it with me?" Karen sighed, "I'll come soon, Aunt Maya."They talked for a little while before ending the call and Karen stared at the ceiling as she caressed her seven months old pregnancy.She had heard that Kevin and his mother were now living under the mercy of Elliot. She had expected Kevin to get married to Selene the moment she left but he didn't.In fact, Selene had travelled abroad. It seemed that the bond between her and Kevin had been severed.Karen would only go back for the sake of her chil

105-A set-up

Kevin found it difficult to believe. With mouth agape he walked to where she stood and hesitated before reaching out, fearing that it was just one of his many hallucinations and she might just disappear. However, this time around he was not hallucinating. It was really Karen and this time around, he wasn't looking at her through a glitch, he could see her completely. Kevin released a sigh of relief as he pulled her into his embrace. He didn't think he was going too far when he held her chin and kissed her lips. From the moment she had stepped into his life, everything changed and even if it didn't seem like it was then, the end will tell. "I'm so happy to have you back, Karen." Kevin expressed his joy but Karen only gave a short smile. Fearing that Elliot might see her, Kevin led her out of the mansion to a nearby shade where they could sit. Kevin held her hand in his, "I missed you, Karen. Where have you been?" "Away." Karen replied, "How's mother?" "Nothing's been good si

106- Behind the anger

Sam was already standing in front of Ian's mansion when she began to have second thoughts. I don't think this is right, she thought, Ian could be happy with his wife Amelia and his mother too could be getting better. Sam thought that should she walk in there, she could ruin the happiness of the family. But she isn't here to make Ian claim his child, another part of her thought, she's only here to see him. She wouldn't ask for his assistance or help in catering for the child. After she disappeared without a trace she felt it was right for Ian to know of his child. But then again, what if he'd forgotten about her? After healing during those six months, Sam was not about to break her heart by walking into the house and seeing what could send her into heartbreak. She sighed and turned around. Perhaps she'd just speak to him over the phone. Not seeing his expressions would hurt less. But just as she turned to leave, a car pulled up by the mansion. The windows came down and a midd

107- Two Weeks Left

Ian trudged into the house lazily. His mother was seated on the dinner table waiting for him patiently but as always, he'd come in late. Ian ignored his mother when she beckoned for him to have dinner. He climbed up the stairs casually to his room.As it was dark, he switched on the light and the shape lying on the bed looked strange. He was startled for a moment and then walked slowly towards it."Sam-" Ian whispered, the burden he'd carried for months came crashing down at the mention of her name.Then he thought if he was hallucinating again. He etched closer and leaned in. It was really Sam and he was not hallucinating. His chest threatened to burst from excitement when he touched her cheek and caressed her sleeping face.He sighed as he placed a soft kiss on her forehead before running back down the stairs.Their eyes locked and both mother and son felt the connection they'd lost for years. "She's all yours now." Mrs Robert said and Ian smiled genuinely."I love you, mom."Mrs

108- Three Days Left

"It has always been her dream to get married and love. Aunt Maya encouraged her to but Karen had given up all hope until your mother came." Zachary explained, "That's why she agreed to marry you. Not for your money, not because you are the son of a wealthy man and despite the fact that you were in love with another woman.""Since she had little time left, she just wanted to enjoy life. She felt that you would have the woman you love again once her time is up."Kevin's heart broke as he listened to Zachary. He was finally understanding everything."She was okay with just loving you. I admired her courage and at the same time I wished she wasn't that courageous. It's why I hated you, you had no idea how lucky you were.""And then your dad had to come up with the will for his heir. Everyone advised Karen against it because she wouldn't survive it, nor will the child but she did it anyway- because she loves you." "Why? Why did she keep this away from me? I hate myself so much.." Kevin gr

Ian was there with Sam, Mrs Kord and Mr Kord were also there, as well as Aunt Maya and Zachary. Even though the doctor had said there could be major complications and the child had a 50-50 chance, Karen was confident and laid on the bed prepared to take the risk.Before the operation began, the doctor smiled down at Karen who wanted to smile back however her heart was burning with great pain."You're one strong woman, Karen." he saidKaren replied with eyes closed, preventing the tears from falling, "No matter what happens, Doctor please save my child."He did not reply and then he dimmed the light and set to work.Meanwhile outside the theatre, everyone did their best to console Kevin but he could not stop crying. He wished he'd treated Karen with more love and understanding. He wishe
