He couldn't find the courage to tell Laura about the agreement he made with Daniel Edward, which ultimately caused his family's downfall and suffering.Mr. Markson's expression was so troubling that Laura felt compelled to ask if something else was bothering him."Dad, is there something else on your mind? You seem lost, and I'm starting to think you're keeping something from me," Laura confronted her dad with a serious look.With his voice shaking, Mr. Markson dismissed it. "No, my dear, I'm fine. Let's go check on your Mom," he suggested, getting out of the car.Without hesitation, Laura agreed, "Yes, let's."As they returned to the hospital, Laura informed her dad that Daniel was on his way, but Mr. Markson didn't seem pleased."She invited him here? They must be really getting along. That manipulative jerk!" Mr. Markson thought, clenching his fist.Mr. Markson disliked Daniel Edward coming to the hospital because they never got along. He also believed that Daniel was manipulating
"Daniel, I'm okay," Claudia said, hoisting herself onto the bed to take a seat.Mr. Markson felt uncomfortable with Daniel being there and couldn't bear to look at him any longer. "Sweetheart, I'll be back in a moment," he told Claudia as he got up from his chair.Claudia gazed at her husband and nodded in response.Laura was pissed at her Dad's reaction but managed to conceal her feelings. Mr. Markson left the hospital room as he walked past Daniel without uttering another word. Daniel thought to himself, his face contorted in anger as he gazed at Mr. Markson, "You've got to be kidding me if you think I came here to visit you guys. I'm only here to ensure I take my wife back home with me.""Daniel, please have a seat, Laura said, staring at her husband Daniel. Daniel shrugged, "No, my dear, I will soon be taking my leave. Can I see the doctor? I want to settle the hospital bill." He requested"Don't worry about that Daniel, my husband will take care of that," Claudia interjected.I
After a brief discussion with the doctor, Claudia requested to go home. She felt much better and didn't want to spend a night at the hospital."No, Ma'am I think you should stay at the hospital till tomorrow so that we can monitor you and make sure you are good to go home. We will have to move you to another room." The doctor implied.Claudia refused and stood her ground on going home. "Doctor, I'm good, I just want to go home please," Claudia demanded, her eyes fixated on the doctor."Are you sure honey?" Mr. Markson asked his wife Claudia. "Yes, I want to go home." She responded.The doctor had no choice but to grant her request. "Alright then, if you insist. But don't forget to return for a check-up," the doctor reminded as he exited the emergency room."Mom, why don't you spend the night here and be discharged tomorrow?" Laura suggested, moving closer to her Mom.In disapproval, Claudia shook her head. "No, Laura, believe me, I'm better now I promise. And where is your husband Dan
Unfortunately, things didn't go well for Harold. Laura had just discovered his relationship with Sidney but chose not to say anything. During a recent visit to Harold's place, he absentmindedly left his phone next to her in the living room. With nothing particular on her mind, Laura decided to browse through his pictures, but unexpectedly, a message popped up on the screen.It was a love message from Sidney, she wondered who she was because Laura only knew about Harold's ex-girlfriend Ashley. "Is Harold seeing another woman? No, that can't be true." She wondered.She decided to keep mute about it, expecting Harold to come clean and sincerely tell her about his secret relationship with Sidney but he didn't.When Laura spotted Harold with Sidney at the restaurant, it became clear to her that they were both dating and when she confronted him about it, he still denied it.Laura felt like she was being fooled and that was when she decided to go over to Harold's house and sort things out wi
"Please, keep the police out of this, I beg of you." Bryan kept pleading while he was been held at the hotel, waiting for the police to arrive."You lying bastard! Do you think I'm stupid? I gave you the benefit of the doubt and you tried to run away. I will make sure you rot in jail if you don't pay that money!" The manager yelled angrily.Bryan was overwhelmed with regret and ashamed of himself, unable to bring himself to look at the manager as he hung his head low.As the police arrived, they apprehended Bryan once more, leading him away to the station. The weight of his actions made it impossible for him to reach out to his parents.Bryan paced anxiously, his mind racing with worry. "What do I do now? I can't let Mom and Dad know that I'm at a police station, no I can't pressure them with the bill I owe at the hotel. How did I manage to get myself into such a mess?" He wondered aloud.An idea struck him suddenly. He made the decision to contact his biological father, Rolland.Roll
"I should use his love for me to my advantage. This could be my opportunity to turn my life around for good. I shouldn't stress about anything anymore; he's incredibly wealthy, after all," Bryan pondered."Sir, that's all in the past, we all make mistakes right?" Bryan queried.With a heavy sigh, Rolland nodded in response. "Thank you, Bryan, I'm glad I had the chance to talk things through with you. I'll be back here tomorrow to check up on you." Rolland said, rising from his seat to leave."Sir, I can't thank you enough. Thanks for coming through for me." Bryan stated, feeling grateful.Rolland smiled and left. He couldn't shake off the excitement he felt, gradually reuniting with his son.When he got into his car, he thought, "Should I let Claudia know about Bryan's whereabouts? Well, she doesn't take my calls anymore, so why should I bother? I have my son now."Rolland's wish had finally come true, but the situation was also challenging for him. He needed to give Bryan all the att
Rolland lied without hesitation, blurting out, "I went to see my Dad. He called," he said abruptly.Anthonia's surprise was evident as she exclaimed, "What? Your Dad?""Yeah, I knew you wouldn't want me to meet him, that's why I lied to you," Rolland explained, trying to convince Anthonia to believe him."After all these years, he finally reached out to you? After causing us so much pain, he decides to make a phone call. That man is really something," Anthonia said, smirking."Anthonia, look, I'm sorry for everything my Dad did, I-""That's enough Rolland, I'm done with this conversation." Athonia cut in before he could say anything else. Anthonia was so pissed and she stormed off to bed immediately.Rolland was at a loss for words, and with a hint of frustration, he stood there, staring at his wife on the bed. "I'm so sorry, Anthonia. I hope you can forgive me," he thought.Raymond, being very nosy, stood by the door and eavesdropped on his parents' conversation. He sensed that his d
Bryan stepped into the pulsating rhythm of the club, feeling the bass thump through his chest as he melded into the energetic crowd. He laughed with newfound friends, lost in the euphoria of the music and the moment. After a while he made his way to the sleek bar, ordering his drink, he leaned against the counter.Taking in the scene around him, Bryan scanned the room, and there, across the dance floor, he spotted Gina with two of her friends. "Damn it! Isn't that Gina?" He thought eyes widened in shock.His heart skipped a beat as memories flooded back, but he pushed them aside.Bryan contemplated on whether to approach Gina or not, but a wave of hesitation washed over him. "I can't let her see me, I'll feel so embarrassed." He pondered and stayed put.Frustrated, he sipped his wine, each sip heavier than the other. With a sigh, Bryan set the glass down, quietly slipping away from the bar. He made his way to the exit, his steps purposeful yet tinged with disappointment.Bryan couldn
