In the hospitalIt's been two hours since Queenie got to the hospital, everyone was waiting but there was no news from the doctor and this bothered Pierce so much, he decided to go meet the doctor himself but Jessica suggested he stayed back."How long does it take for a woman to give birth?" This he asked subconsciously, placing his hand on his jaw in wonderment."It could take a few hours depending on the person and condition." Jessica, who was worried as well, replied. Peirce wore a worried look. "It's normal to be worried. But if you keep acting like this we'd both be crazy and on edge. So, please, Pierce Verlice, calm down." She said word for word. She paused for a while then continued, "Child birth can take the whole day or even two days, you never can tell.""A whole day, really?" Pierce narrowed his eyes at Jessica's direction. The almighty Pierce Verlice was acting like a child and the thought of that made her let out a laugh. "As I said earlier, you just have to be calm
In the hideout suite "have you contacted Kim, yet?" Natasha enquiries, pouring wine in a glass.Raphael had a sinister look and replied "I think her line is off the hook, I tried over and over again." He paused for a moment, he continued. "Natash, don't you think you went too far?" This he said, motioning his hand and head in a suggestive but fearful manner.On hearing him, Natasha cast a warning and malicious look at him.Raphael sensed danger so he rephrased his statement."I mean, we went too far, concerning the bomb but sending Kim to the hospital to kill Queenie is way too much.""And your point is?" Natasha replied, motioning her hands."Never mind, Queenie deserves whatever she is going through right now." Raphael commented, although he didn't really mean what he said, his purpose was to convince Natasha he's on her side.As she gulped the wine from the bottle, and uttered "who needs glass when you can just drink from the bottle itself, it tastes much better, don't you think
"You forgot to tell us where to locate Our friend Roxanne, remember?""Oh! yeah, she's in the intensive room, close to right opposite the emergency room.""Got it" she said, and without any hesitation she headed to the door and walked away majestically, she totally had a time of her life flirting with the Doctor."So sexy!" She let out excitedly, she walked towards Jessica, who had an understanding look on her face.On seeing Audrey stride towards her with an infectious smile, Jessica couldn't help but give a beaming smile. "Well done, miss!" Jessica applauded. "It took you thirty minutes to get the direction, right? I know what you're up to, hope you got his contact though." She teased.Audrey giggled and uttered "Oh men that guy is hot! Trust me I will surely come back for his contact.""You don't say. Please let's hurry, I am dying to see Roxanne." Jessica urged.The two hurried to the intensive room. "Uhhuu, I think it's there." Audrey said, pointing at the entrance tiredly. Je
The explosion threw everyone into confusion. It affected several other wards. Thankfully, Pierce and the children were already outside. However, Roxanne who was just a few wards away got knocked unconscious. Breath seizing from her lungs. Audrey and Jessica weren't left out. But they weren't totally knocked out. They got up as soon as possible and headed in different directions. When Jessica arrived in Queenie's ward, she fell to her knees seeing the charred corpse on it and wept bitterly. When she got up, she looked more lifeless than when she got flung aside by the explosion. "Roxanne is not breathing!" Audrey yelled as she made her way into Queenie's ward. Jessica realizing she couldn't lose more of her friends, got up and headed outside with Audrey. They got into a white Land Rover and drove out. They drove to the nearest hospital where Roxanne was instantly placed in an ICU. "Queenie is…dead." Jessica muttered as she looked up at Audrey. Audrey nodded and looked to the
"That was Natasha and she's threatening me with Gabriel's life." Audrey said almost immediately. Pierce sighed. He knew very well the kind of person Natasha was. He intended to walk to his children's room when she stopped him. He raised a brow at her. "Lucas and Roxanna are having some alone time. I don't think it's nice to interrupt them." Pierce chuckled at her words and agreed to walk downstairs. "The Knights have been in search of Natasha for months but somehow, she manages to evade all three forces. The Verlice, Knights and the Conglomerate. I refuse to believe she only has Sullivan and Raphael backing her up." Pierce said as soon as they settled on a chair at the balcony. "I thought of that too. Jessica informed me of someone who has been paying frequent visits to Hiltonia. He comes and leaves at odd hours." Audrey said. A name popped up on Pierce's mind at the sound of her words. "Salto Grande?" "You know him too?" Audrey asked in surprise. "Yes and we're business part
"So the plan is to move in with the conglomerate?" Lucas asked in a room filled with vengeful people. Liam, Audrey, Roxanne, Lawrence, Cheetah and Lynx. A baby rocking chair sat in the middle of them, moving itself back and forth. Pierce stood over it as he stared lovingly at his children. "I do not wish to undermine your plans. But have you stopped to think what Natasha will do to that man if she gets the least nervous about your meeting?" No doubt, the question was directed at Audrey. Audrey stared back at Roxanne and drew her lips into a thin line. "That's why we need to be discreet. Only in that way can we overthrow her." "You're not being realistic here, Audrey!" Roxanna scoffed. "Natasha knows how important Gabriel is to you and that is why she's using him against you. Not to be rude or anything but given Natasha's disposition, I doubt that man is still alive." An eerie silence descended on the room full of people. Even the children who had been giggling happily stopped an
"Natasha, I will hunt you. And when I find you, I will kill you." Those words were the last thing Audrey said to Natasha that evening before leaving the cabin with Gabriel. Gabriel Lynch was an orphan and at such, his funeral were attended by colleagues and friends. Audrey was the last person to leave his tomb. After leaving a dahlia flower, she mumbled incoherent words before leaving. As soon as she turned, she saw Sullivan standing behind her. Months ago, Sullivan was said to have run out of Hiltonia. They had no idea why but didn't care since he was none of their business. Like she had always done, she intended to walk past him when she heard him say, "I have something to tell you." "I'm not interested in whatever you have to say. Now, move aside." Audrey scoffed instead and pushed him out of the way. "It's about the person you think is dead." The man said after a moment of hesitation.Audrey stopped but didn't look back at him. "Let's talk in the café beside the burial grou
One Year LaterIn a farm land, Queenie squats a little as she weeds out unwanted plants which seemed to be choking the crops. She gets interrupted when Gerald walks into the farm and gasps. "You've been gone for hours and I've searched the entire village for you. Who knew you'd be here… wedding out plants, so unbelievable!" Queenie chuckled and straightened up. "I had the usual memory burst that I've been having for a year. However, it was different this time." Gerald raised a brow as he walked to her. "What was the improvement?" "I kept hearing the name Jessica. Everything else was blurry." Queenie said with a sigh, "The excruciating pain that came with it didn't let me return back to sleep." "And you thought the best thing was to come out to weed?" Gerald scoffed. "Since I had nothing else to do, I reckoned doing it would make me relaxed. It did though." She chuckled and proceeded to squat back again when the man held her back. "You can always pay a visit to the beach. The s
