Malcolm and Keegan dragged the old man out of the restaurant and Aries went immediately to my direction. He cupped my face and his jaw tightened when he saw something wrong on my face. That old hag! Does he have powers or special ability? That slap was fucking hard! My face almost turn in 360 degrees.
I remained standing and was unable to say something. “That fucking bastard!” he whispered. Why is he mad anyway? I’m the one who got slapped not him.
“I’m okay Aristotle, I managed to break his bone! I heard it crack!” I said and clapped like a seal.
“Keegan call my secretary. Tell her to withdraw all my investments with that company.” He said with authority.
“Hey! You don’t have to do that! Just burn that man alive! Kidding.” I tried to let out a joke but no one laughed. Aries was just staring at me and suddenly hugged me tight. Seriousl
“Hurry up! My friends are already waiting!” Aries shouted outside the closet. We just arrived from the hospital and his friends asked us to join them at Keegan’s club. I was planning not to go with him because I don’t drink much, but he forced me to.What an ass.We stayed at the hospital for two days, we arrived there Wednesday night, and we just arrive from there which is Friday. Caleb took over in taking care of Niah since he doesn’t have work as of the moment. We will be back tomorrow afternoon because Niah will have her surgery the nest day. She will need me.“Wait! You forced me to go with you can I fix myself in peace?” I shouted back.“My goodness Nola Florentina! You’ve been there for 30 fucking minutes already!” I can really sense his frustrat
“Remind me again on why did I agree on coming with you here in the supermarket?” he asked while pushing a big cart filled with our groceries. We decided to buy groceries in the supermarket of his one of the many branches of malls he owned.The moment we entered the mall, the staffs panicked. They were surprised seeing their big boss here wearing casual clothes. They were too surprised that they almost call a marching band to perform.How unbelievable!The staffs were planning on following us until we reached the supermarket but, Aries got annoyed by the attention he was getting so, he shooed them away.I grinned at my husband who was frowning. “It’s because you are in a good mood,” I answered while also pushing an empty cart. I looked at the list and there were still m
It has been a week and Niah is still confined in the intensive care unit, she was always having seizures in those one week. It made me unable to function during those days, my mind is filled with her and her condition. When I came home with Aries last week, I was always eager to go back because I was worried that something might happen to her.I was awake the whole two days, I can’t bear to fall asleep knowing that my sister is in a terrible condition. I don’t care if I look like a goblin now, my sister is all that matters to me.“For the love of God, Nola Florentina! Can you go home and rest? You have been awake for two days! Why is Aries isn’t here with you anyway?”I didn’t mind Caleb, I continued staring at my sister who was peacefully sleeping with an oxygen mask on her nose through the ICU’s glass window.
“Wow this is pretty! Thank you, Aries!” My sister giggled happily as she stares at the different colors of acrylic paints and canvas scattered on her bed that Aries bought for her weeks ago when he had a business trip to Japan.It’s been three days since my sister was finally out of the Intensive Care Unit. Aries also decided to have a private room since our spot was taken last week in our old room.I felt bad, I’m going to miss those ladies from the room who kept my little sister company when Caleb and I are both busy because of our jobs. He also assigned some maids back at home to take care of my sister while I’m away and working. I can’t just let Caleb take care of my sister every time because he has his own life and a job.Good thing the maids are very trustworthy, they were one of the maids who I keep talking with whenever I’m bored in the h
“Hey! Mrs. Higgins! ” Lea called my attention. I shook my head and looked at the melted chocolate. I quickly removed it and set it aside first to mix the egg and sugar.I felt Lea come up to me and slap me on the ass. “What now? You just came back from your long vacation and now your mind is wandering somewhere else," she said and laughed.“I was just thinking of something,” I whispered while carrying the egg in the mixer. To this day, what Aries said earlier still lingers in my mind.Is he serious about what he is saying?She teasingly poked my sides. “Sheesh, if I know you and Mr. Higgins did some lovin in those two weeks.” She let out a laugh. I turned to her as my eyes widened in embarrassment.“Crazy! We are always in the hospital! And why are you here at my station? ”&ldq
“Nola, for the last time, can you please stop singing?” I frowned at Aristotle who was driving. “You're ruining my eardrums!” He added.“Oh wow!” I scoffed. “So you're telling me that my voice is ugly?” He nodded.I slapped him on the shoulder. Wow! For his fucking information, I was a vocalist in the band when I was in high school! I used to participate in singing competition during our town fiesta and I even won numerous times!Only the deaf will say that my voice is ugly.“I'm deeply embarrassed Aristotle Napoleon,” I said sarcastically. “Let me hear you sing then! You always make fun of me!” I yelled.Today is already Saturday, he picked me up at the restaurant earlier and since Tuesday this man has always been playing some stupid pranks on me. Just plain stupid.
“Emilliana, don't put the tomatoes!” I shouted, but it was too late for her, she already put the tomato in the pan. I face-palmed and approached her. “Am I doing something wrong?” I saw her hand holding a spoon tremble. “I'm sorry,” she said and bowed."Hey..." I mumbled. I sighed. “Look at me,” I said, and she looked up.“Onions should be your priority when you're sautéing,” I said calmly to her as I showed her how to sauté.“You're wrong Nola,” Keegan said, causing us to turn to him. He was still sitting with the four whose chins are rested on their hands.“Onion is not the priority,” he said while staring at us seriously. Emilliana and I blinked
“Since I can't get to our meeting personally, I would settle for this for the mean time.” Aries said in front of his laptop. My sister and I looked at each other who was now lying on the bed and shrugged our shoulders at the same time.My sister's therapy was just finished earlier before lunch and this idiot right here, has not left yet. He canceled their board meeting this morning, but the board appealed to him. So here he is now, facing his laptop. Wearing polo and coat while wearing pajamas at the bottom.He just looks ridiculous.“Can you tell us why you can't attend the meeting personally, Mr. Higgins,” I heard from his laptop.He cleared his throat and then looked at me for a moment with his soft eyes. “My wife needs me right now,” he answered.
