Confrontations And Two Bullets

"What?!" Christian's eyes bulged in shock."Excuse me." I maintained a calm, polite exterior as I walked away from him, forgetting every thought of what he was about to tell me about him and Denise, towards the stage where uncle Pete was smiling and waiting for me. "Wait! She is what?!"I heard the gasps following the announcement. Making my way through the crowd of guests, eyes followed me. But that very familiar voice had me stopping on my heels, and slowly I took a slow turn.My look of astonishment was profound, I was speechless for a few nanoseconds, then came the emotions rolling in, threatening to shatter my composure form within. Disbelief. Shock. Betrayal. Anger. And I held onto that last boiling emotion like it was a lifeline, refusing to feel any other thing. "Denise?" "In flesh and blood, sister."People were now watching us and I could tell they recognized Denise, she'd been a society lady when Codza Company was still in existence and under her. And she had come wit

Hospital Saga

"Doctor, how is he?" I rushed up from the sofa I'd been unable to sit still towards Dylan. It was comfortable but I was just too nervous to enjoy its comfort."You're still here?" Dylan looked tired and exhausted, but he wasn't my concern at the moment."Do you expect me to be somewhere else? Please just tell me how he is." My tone was impatient.Celine and Miss Nancy rushed to my side, Zion sleeping at home with paid bodyguards stationed everywhere, including outside his door. A baby monitor also in their possession just in case. "We've been able to remove the bullets, though it was risky. Both bullets cut close to his heart, he almost flat lined during surgery."My heart felt heavy. "But he'll be fine?""There's a little problem. Are you up for this, Hailey? Or you'd like to go home and have some rest, tomorrow, you can return and we'll..." "N-no." I was struggling back tears. "Tell me, I want to know." I looked at a agonized Miss Nancy doing her best not to fall apart as she unc

Jared's Revelation

I was stunned speechless when he did the unthinkable — hoisted me like some weightless sack of potatoes upon his shoulder. "How very dare you, Jared?!" I fumed, pounding on his back as he carried me away from uncle Pete's ward, away from Celine who was as stunned as I was but had a sneaky smile playing about her lips. I narrowed my gaze at her receding figure on the sofa. "Are you in on this?"She raised both hands mid-air, shaking her head. Then she waved. "Have fun. I'll be here till you get back."My eyes only went narrower, anger tearing my insides. "What the hell do you think you're doing, Jared?! This isn't helping your case."But he ignored me.I covered my face when hospital staff who worked night shifts looked at us both in both perplexity and amusement. "Awnn. So sweet." One young female nurse commented, smiling hugely. I refusing keeping my head up to avoid meeting amused gazes who thought whatever Jared was doing was romantic.Maybe when I wasn't angry, I might observe

Letter From Denise

"He's not our son." Was the only argument I could come up with. Disappointment and disbelief darkened his eyes. "So you're prepared to let that young boy who left his country to provide a life for himself and his family to die in a fight that doesn't concern him? Coming from you, a mother?"Guilty speared, so I kept mute, partly to reflect. "Look, babe, I know you've been through a lot and Kazim was giving every information to bring every injustice to an end and the people responsible to book and he has done a wonderful job so far, but it was getting too heated. He was digging in too deep and I feared it was only a matter of time before he would wound up dead probably in some remote location. I know you're a good person and would never want to put his life at risk, you just wanted to fight back the only way you knew how."I hated that the anger was no longer aimed at him. I felt ashamed that he'd considered the risks while I was only interested in what Kazim had to offer. "Where is

A Heated Moment

Jared unbuckled my seatbelt and pulled me onto his laps, I could not stop sobbing. "Shh. It's okay.""I...I..." I hiccuped, words failing me. "You don't have to say anything now." His hand on my back, comforting and soothing was a bit helpful."But...oh God. I don't want to believe her, but..." I trailed off as more tears interrupted my speech."Me too. I thought she just being her sly self but when I heard her talk, I knew she wasn't lying."I sniffled back snot, raising my head to look at him. "You heard her talk? When?""When we worked together. See, everyone makes mistakes, including your father. And that mistake led to his untimely, unfortunate demise. Denise too and we both know where the mistake landed her.""I can't imagine being poor and having a rich father who didn't want you. I know my dad was wrong to have pretended Denise didn't exist but killing him didn't solve anything. She only killed the man I've loved all my life till the day he died.""And I'm sorry for that. I

He's Awake

"Uncle Pete!" I dashed into the room to envelope him into a hug, not minding the presence of Miss Nancy and a nurse. He hugged me back, his chuckle a bit weak. "I missed you too."I blinked my eyes, struggling back tears and swallowing emotions lodged stubbornly in my throat. "I'm so glad you're okay, uncle Pete. I...I... thought..." I couldn't even say the words out loud. "You thought what? I'm going nowhere for a long, long time, babygirl."My heart swelled with both gratitude and love for the man. It was the first time he would be using such an endearing term in that soft, affectionate tone. "You'd better not.""Can't...breathe." He said, still hugging me. "Thank you for saving my life. Thank you." I sniffled. "I owe you everything, my life included." "I did what I'm supposed to do, Hailey. You don't have to thank me for that." He rubbed my back. I held onto him for a few more moment. "Save some for us, Hailey." Celine who had come with me chuckled. I let go, finally paying

Arresting Mr. President

"Room 48." I mumbled, blowing nerves away. I was here and there was no turning back. Uncle Pete and Jared had no idea where I was going. I'd lied about picking some things for Zion from the store. This should be over in no time. I raised a fist and rapped gently but firmly on the door. "Who's that?"Two of the cops had followed me upstairs but were hiding from view. That sounded like the President's voice. I knocked again, cleared my tone in a bit to disguise it and said. "Room service."There was seconds of silence, then the padding of feet coming towards the door. The door opened. "We didn't order any..." The rest of his words were drowned by shock."Hello, Mr. President." I plastered on a smile. "Can I come in?" He was yet to see the cops."Get out." Fear and anger had him growl out those words. He tried to shut the door in my face but before he succeeded, I had a foot stuck between the door and used all of my power to push it open, making him lose balance and fall to the gro

Tit For Tat

I was dressed for the event — a simple tank top and distressed denim shorts. It was time to pluck off another adversary.I opened the door and turned on the lights. "There you are." My smile was anything but welcoming or friendly. "And I thought I smelled a rotten fish." She spat, looking unkempt and dirty. And she was tied to a chair. "Oh, that'll be you seeing as you haven't had your bath in like...well, weeks." I drew a chair from the wall, placed it few feet from hers and sat. "Forgive my lack of hospitality, I've been busy.""It's been a while. What do you want?" Her once shiny red hair was now a matted mess. "Revenge." I simply said. As though on cue, I heard a rap on the door. I opened it to allow Celine and Jared walk in. Jared was carrying a box of things I'd asked for. "You bitch! You think I'm scared of you?" She was trying to act strong but the little quiver in her voice gave her away. "I think you already are." I emptied the contents in the box.I heard her gasp. "

A Visit To Prison

"I don't know why you brought me here. You could have come alone." I folded my arms, staring with a displeased expression at the entrance of the police station. "You need this." Jared said, turning off the engine and unbuckling his seatbelt. "Aren't you getting out?""I told you I'm not ready. I don't know what to tell her. I'm not even sure I want to talk to her, I can't forget the fact that she had a hand in my father's death.""Fine. Then don't talk, let me do the talking. I just want you to be available so you can hear the information she has. You want Philip and Derek to pay for what they have done to you, don't you?" He shifted to face me. "I guess." My tone was reluctant."Good, because I want Philip to pay for killing my father." His jaw tightened.I frowned a little. "You've never been this upset ever since...I don't know, he was your father-in-law.""A big mistake. My father's death ruined my family with my mother as an accomplice." His words were bitter to the ears. I pl

The Future Is Bright

"Thank you Brenda, you did a superb job." I shook hands with the very pretty bartender dressed in revealing clothes as the cops threw handcuffs around the wrists of drugged, oblivious Philip and Derek.Finally, I did it. Actually, to be fair, I had help. Jared and me had tracked them to the location Denise had provided and it was true. I realized they frequented a rundown bar at this remote area and they were smart to because no one would have ever traced them here."It's my pleasure. Plus, the money was too good to pass up." She seemed pleased with herself. "Just a second." I left her to go get my checkbook and pen from my bag sitting in the car. I returned to her with these, wrote a figure and extended it to her. "This is thank you for a job well done."She took the check, her eyes bulged in both excitement and shock. "This is freaking much! What the hell do I do with so much money?"My eyes did a quick sweep of her work environment, then moved back to her. "You can pursue your dr
