And he had, had to come running to his friend’s rescue thinking something awful had gone wrong with him.If Benjamin didn’t know his best friend better, he would have tagged him a drama queen and an attention seeker. But who could blame him? Heartbreak does a whole lot of stupid things to it’s victims.“I don’t see anything wrong in her response. So why are you getting worked up when it i

They just arrived at the hospital and he was trying to park his car properly.“Good Lord man! As anyone ever told you how obsessed you are about yourself? You want to hide your identity? Then put on a goddamn shade. Moreover, this is a hospital so do you think anyone would be in a good mood of taking note of the son of James Crawford and soon to be chief executive officer of Crawford Corporation? Stop playing my friend. This place is full of bunch of people battling with all sorts of ailments so I doubt any reporter would be lurking around for a story about you in here.” Benjamin taunted without missing a beat.He was at least glad that he could ge

CONNECTICUT, UNITED STATE OF AMERICA HARTFORD MEMORIAL HOSPITAL “And there he is talking to my mother like anyone would do with his soon to be mother in-law. How desperate is this man?” Raven asked. “From the way I see it, he is a 360 degree kind of desperate. Shoot me! I feel like I am daydreaming.” He pointed towards them. Several minutes passed and they didn’t leave that spot. Just then Christopher walked up to both of them, ignoring their inquisitive stares. He stood directly in front of Raven. “I already asked your mom for her permission to let me speak to you privately for some minutes and she said it is okay.” Raven huffed in annoyance. “Really? Am I a kid? Why would you ask for permission to talk to an adult like myself? Also what gave you the audacity to think I would agree to have a private conversation with you?” Christopher gritted his teeth. He took a step c

Getting into the car and igniting it, Christopher could feel his friend’s pair of eyes staring at him.He turned to look at Benjamin. “Have I suddenly grown two or more heads?” He tapped his fingers against the steering wheels. “Ben, spill it out already! I don’t like it when you give me this look. And don’t burn me with your stares.”Benjamin sat up and leaned against the car door before shooting his eyes out in emphasis. “I think I need to call the police and have you arrested.

He was still feeling sleepy. “You are an explicit example of rude, Christopher. Count yourself lucky today because I am not interested in bantering with you. Place an order of some roasted chicken and lobster rolls for me. Bills on you.”Christopher acknowledged the greeting of the workers with a short nod as they walked passed him.“Are you even listeni

A DEAL WITH THE BILLIONAIRE (A Contract Marriage) EPISODE THIRTY THREE THEME: Anything aside football CONNECTICUT, UNITED STATE OF AMERICA HARTFORD MEMORIAL HOSPITAL Going out on a shopping spree with a man was something totally new to Raven, especially since it was an expensive one. Raven carried the paper bags filled with clothes gently like they were eggs. When Christopher dropped her off at the hospital, he didn’t even bother to step out of the car to help her with the paper bags. All he did was sat at the steering wheel and watched her pull all the paper bag out of the car with a struggle. And Raven could have sworn that he was having a good laugh in his eyes behind the dark shades he wore. “I will call you on Sunday.” That was all Christopher Crawford said before driving off. Raven bit hard on her tongue to avoid cursing loudly at her cold hearted soon to be fake husband. She hoped dearly that he wouldn’t die by her hands during the six months that they would
