Chapter Eleven

“Cole,” George Smith called.Coke turned his head to the source of the voice. “Senior…” He said with a smile that stopped short on his face when he saw the man who accompanied George. The man had a domineering presence that was hard to ignore. Even though Cole hadn’t met him for a few years, he recognized him immediately. It was…. Andrew.Trailing behind him was his assistant, Liam whom he just met a few days ago. Andrew gave the gangly teen a once over. He felt the teen looked fairly familiar. Their path only crossed once, which was once during his wedding to Caroline. Cole had grown in the past few years so it was natural Andrew couldn’t identify him instantly. Liam, however, recognized him with just a glance.Goerge approached Cole, laughing as he said, “Your timing is impeccable as always.”Cole ignored Andrew and focused on George. “Senior, thank you so much for your help. I couldn’t find anything better out there so I have to borrow from your private library.”George replied, “I

Chapter Twelve

Caroline was satisfied with the books Cole brought back with him. However, she still managed to finish them in the blink of an eye… Cole had gotten used to his sister’s inhuman-like ability so he was no longer surprised. The person who was most surprised though was George. “She’s done with them already?” George was taken aback when Cole returned the books to him.“I’m afraid so, she said the books were nice, but she wonders…do you have anything more difficult?” Coke finished his question in almost a whisper because he himself thought his sister was being a bit too much. He even began to suspect if his sister was still human.How can there be such a difference in talent between both of them when they shared the same Roberts Family blood? He must be adopted. The absurd question caught George off guard. It was already crazy that the books were finished in a day, but the person still asked for something harder? Those books were already the hardest he had! This friend of Cole’s seemed to

Chapter Thirteen

John felt his world spin….“Dad…” Cole screamed as he ran to catch John before he fell. John had a sickly pallor and his eyes were fluttering. Caroline caught up to them and ordered, “Cole, call the ambulance.”“Okay.” Cole said with a shaking voice. As he pulled out his phone to call the hospital, Caroline tried her best to resuscitate her uncle. She had no first aid knowledge but she carried John over to the sofa, laid down flat in hopes of easing his breaths.The landlord and the gathered crowd were shocked by the sudden turn of events. The crowd slowly dispersed, afraid that they would be roped into a nasty situation if anything serious was to befall John.“This has nothing to do with me, I barely touched him. He fainted on his own,” the landlord said hurriedly as he made to leave. Caroline lifted her head and shot him a withering glance. It stopped him in his tracks.The startled landlord said, “I told you I had nothing to do with it, I won’t let you pin it on me!” “If you leav

Chapter Fourteen

After leaving the hospital, Caroline found her way to a nearby internet cafe. She used the rest of her money to book as many hours as she could for one of the available rooms.

Chapter Sixteen

“Andrew, what are you thinking about? You’ve been exceptionally quiet since the dress fitting,” Jenna asked.Andrew snapped out of his reverie and offered lightly, “Oh, it’s nothing important.”“Tell me, I want to help if I can,” Jenna continued, hoping to draw the conversation out.Andrew simply tossed her a bone, “It’s about Raymond. He said he wasn’t feeling well this morning, I’m just worried about him.” To be fair, Andrew wasn’t completely lying because Raymond did mention that he was feeling under the weather…However, Andrew knew he was throwing a tantrum because his father was leaving him to go dress fitting with Jenna.

Depending on the situation, Jenna herself might even be willing to give Caroline some money. The thought that she might be able to see Caroline begging her for her charity buoyed her spirit on their way to the hospital. It didn’t take long for them to reach the hospital. Using his connections, Andrew quickly found out the room John was in. While they rushed to meet Caroline, John was in preparation to enter surgery.His body was sprayed with disinfectant and the smell lingered in the room. Caroline was averse to the smell so she left to sit in the corridor outside his room. She crossed her hands praying for a successful operation. The doctor promised them an eighty percent success rate but she couldn’t help but worry. “Sis, how are you holding up?” A concerned Cole followed her out to enquire. Caroline took a short nap that only lasted for a few hours, he was afraid she didn’t have enough rest.Caroline shook her head and said, “I’m fine, go be with uncle.”“It’s okay, dad just went

Chapter Eighteen

What triggered this change? Andrew finally understood Liam’s earlier report. Liam mentioned the change in Caroline, specifically her unwavering gaze that was hard to ignore. Andrew had brushed it off then, but now he understood what he meant. Her eyes communicated an inner wealth of confidence and composure.It was not something that could be faked, it was something like a natural born instinct… Simultaneously, he saw something of himself reflected in her. Andrew couldn’t fathom what had caused this sudden change. Regardless, it meant that he saw her in a different light and treated her differently than before.“This is what you’re supposed to take from our divorce. I’ve personally brought it to you because I believe that is the respect you deserve. Please accept it.” Andrew took out a cheque and handed it to her respectfully. There was not a shred of condescension in his action.Caroline didn’t even look at the proffered cheque when she replied, “Thank you but I don’t need it.”Andre

Chapter Nineteen

“Caroline, where did you get that amount of money? You are still Raymond’s mom so don’t you dare do anything that demeans his name.”Caroline was at her limits with this crazy woman. She shot her a deadly look and said, “What demeaning things do you think I did? Do you look down on me so much that it couldn’t factor in your mind that I could produce 300,000 dollars?“I didn’t look down on you! But the fact is you couldn’t possibly collect this huge amount of money the legal way.” Jenna stood on the higher moral ground and said, “Caroline, if you’re in need of money, you should have come to us, how could you do something that would ruin your name? If you want to demean yourself, it’s fine, but think about your son Raymond Pierce, that poor boy now has a streetwalker as his mother. I take back what I said, I do look down on you but only as a fellow woman.”“Shut your trap!” Cole finally lost it. He might be young but he could still be mighty scary when he was angry. All forms of chivalr

While Andrew was lost in his thoughts, someone knocked on his office door.He returned from his reverie and said, “Come in….”Liam opened the door and strode in. Seeing him, Andrew asked, “How come you’re back so soon?”Liam replied with a hard to read expression, “Miss Smith hailed her own ride and left. I’m sorry CEO Andrew for failing to send Miss Smith home personally.”“What happened, why was she upset?” Andrew asked as an added thought.Liam shook his head and replied, “No idea, but based on the little Miss Smith managed to tell me, it sounded like she was bullied by Miss Roberts’ family…”Andrew didn’t ask further, he merely said, “Okay, thank you.”“I’ll be leaving then
