Christian stood impatiently outside while the doctor examined Mabel. ‘She’s awake,’ he said repeatedly. It felt so surreal to see her awake after a month. Those Hazel eyes he loved finally looked at him. But there was something she said that made him nervous. ‘Who are you?’ he remembered her question. Maybe it was because she had been unconscious for a long time. It couldn’t possibly be what he was thinking.The door to the room opened and the doctor came out. From the expression he had, Christian knew the doctor didn’t have good news.“What’s wrong with her?” he asked the doctor.“Judging from what you said, it appears she is suffering from amnesia as she has no recollection of who she is nor anyone else,” the doctor revealed and it was as though someone splashed cold water on him. Mabel truly didn’t remember him. “Other than that, she is doing fine,” the doctor continued. “It isn’t uncommon for patients freshly out of a coma to experience amnesia but then again, you told me that
After making sure the nurses fed Mabel and put her to sleep, Christian left his mansion to pay a visit to a very special person. He had been prolonging the inevitable and it was now finally time, he put an end to the story. “Sir, you’re here,” one of his guards stated in shock when they saw him so late at night at the base. “Hmm,” Christian muttered. “Is Aaron here?” he asked, and the guard shook his head. Without saying anything else to the guard, he headed inside and straight to a room where a man had been tied up.Upon hearing a sound in the room, the man opened his eyes and started struggling for escape when he saw that it was Christian but he barely managed to get anywhere as he was tied up. It was none other than the waiter who had served Christian the poisoned drink that fateful day. After the party, he completely went off the radar, but his team managed to find him in another state and it had been nothing but torture for the man as Christian didn’t spare him but at the sam
“Did you eat while you were at work?” He heard Mabel asked him and this brought him out of his thoughts. She had quickly caught on that he had a habit of hardly eating especially when he was at work and so, she made it her habit to ask whether or not he had eaten whenever he got back from work.It was a small gesture but for some reason, it made Christian’s heart full. “Yes,” he answered but when he turned to look, he found her staring at him with squinted eyes.“Are you lying to me?” She asked, and Christian sighed as she had caught on to his lie. “You get angry when I try to skip my meal, but you do the same, hypocrite,” she berated him.“I’m not the one who is sick here,” Christian argued.“It’s only a matter of time if you keep doing what you’re doing,” Mabel snapped in irritation as she then proceeded to get up.“Let me help you,” Christian immediately sat up, but Mabel pushed his hand away.“I’m getting stronger every day, I can do it,” she said as she stood on her feet. “See,”
“Start eating, I'm hungry,” Mabel urged, jolting Christian out of his thoughts, and he immediately picked up his cutlery so she wouldn't keep starving herself.“So, how was physiotherapy today?” He asked out of habit. Every day, the physiotherapist came over to do some exercises that would aid Mabel's agility.Each time she trained Mabel, the physiotherapist always gave him an update about her condition, but he still liked to hear it from her mouth.“Same old,” Mabel answered in a bored tone, then her eyes lit up with excitement as she remembered something. “I however increased the speed a little on the treadmill and I was able to run without falling, she was very impressed,” she said proudly and waited for him to praise her. Having seen how Christian interacted with other people, she knew he was very hard to please and it was even harder to get him to praise someone and so she felt very special whenever he praised her.“Really, now?” Christian asked in surprise even though he alrea
“Good one,” Dorian said as though Christian had cracked a joke.“I'm serious,” Christian deadpanned and they busted out into laughter once more much to Christian’s annoyance. This was why he hated Dorian coming over. Mabel's attention wouldn't be on him again but on Dorian and that irked him as he liked it when he had Mabel's attention.“So, Mabel, there's this new girl,” Dorian started and Mabel rolled her eyes as she already knew where this was going.“You want advice on how to get her into your bed,” she interrupted Dorian.“What do you think I am,” Dorian asked as if he was offended. “A player that can’t commit to one woman,” Mabel answered without a second thought.“No need to praise me,” Dorian responded. “But seriously, this one might be the one,” he stated and Mabel rolled her eyes once more.“You said that for the last nine or is it ten women,” Mabel pondered. “And it has all been within the space of two months.”“Now imagine what I’ve had to go through all my life,” Christi
“Hey, Dorian is finally here!” a man exclaimed when Dorian walked into the VIP lounge of a bar. "It’s been ages, Dorian, come drink with us," another man in the VIP area said just as Dorian took his seat. “I can’t drink, I didn’t bring a driver,” Dorian replied which was partly the truth, the other being, that he never drank in public as it was easy for someone to drug him and considering his playboy reputation accuse him of doing something he didn’t do.The fact that he was currently sitting in his family's bar struck out the fact that he couldn't be drugged so he just wasn't interested in drinking with the fools.His eyes glanced at the woman he had told Mabel about and he smiled at her, to which she returned. Mabel hadn’t been wrong when she said whatever had happened to the woman wasn’t serious. In fact, he had no intention of actually getting together with the woman. He was just bored and wanted to play her just the same way she foolishly thought she was playing him.“So let's
“What's your business with that? You don't even know me?” The woman argued and she tried to hit Dorian but due to the fact that she was drunk, her hits were very weak.“My family owns the bar and the last thing we need is someone dying,” Dorian said and that was just it.Before he could say anything, there was a huge commotion and when he turned to look at what was happening, he saw that a customer was sexually assaulting a female employee.“Hmm,” Dorian sighed as he walked over there to handle the commotion.When he was done, he looked over to the counter and saw that the woman was no longer there nor was she still in the bar.Making his way over to the bartender who had been serving her, he asked, “Where is she?” “She just left,” the bartender answered, pointing to the exit the woman took and Dorian immediately made his way over there.‘I hope she's not planning to drive herself in her condition,’ he muttered to himself. If she was, he was a hundred percent sure that there would b
Christian looked at the lady who was resting on his shoulder and he smiled to himself as his had been the norm for the past two months. Whenever they watched a movie together, Mabel would fall asleep on his shoulder and he would carry her to her room. “Are you asleep?” he asked Mabel when she didn't make any sound or move.“No, not yet,” Mabel answered. “Stop shaking your shoulder,” she scolded him as she adjusted his hands to which Christian chuckled.“You know that not many people get the opportunity to rest on my shoulder,” Christian told her.“Not everyone gets the opportunity to be your friend,” Mabel retorted. Something came to her mind and she sat up to face Christian. “Wait, if you don’t make friends, how did I become your friend?” she asked him.“Why don’t you remember that yourself?” Christian said and his words earned him a jab from Mabel who was upset at his excuse for everything.“You’re infuriating,” she insulting.“It’s what you get for being my friend,” Christian cla
