“She’s in critical condition.” George said speaking to the nurse who came outside to help them.The nurse nodded and placed her hands on Hailey’s wrists checking for a pulse. She smiled when she noticed there was indeed a pulse. “She has a pulse but its barely there and she has lost a lot of blood. She will have to be admitted immediately.” The nurse said and ran off to get the stretcher and some backup.George looked at Chase and sighed placing his hand on his shoulder. “Your wife is going to be fine Mr Denvers, they are good at their job.” He said and quickly answered someone over the radio. “I have to heard to the station now, there are some things I need to take care of. I will need Hailey’s statement and all the evidence she has against those men so we can ensure that they pay for all their crimes.”“You’d have to wait for her to get better then,” Chase said and sighed stroking Hailey’s hair. “I don’t know where she left the files she had been working on. Infact, she refused to g
" Is she going to be okay?" Chase asked the team of doctors and nurses who came for the morning round and observed a sleeping Hailey." She is a fighter, Mr Denver. No doubt she'll be fine. So far there's been a lot of progress." One of the doctors explained with a smile, hoping to ease of the tension on Chase's shoulders.Chase sighed in relief, " oh thank you doc. Hopefully she wakes up early." He added, patting her hair for better measure." She will be up in no time. Just give her some time to flesh it out." The doctor affirmed and headed out of the ward, not before they'd both shook hands on it.It had been three days of total blackout. Hailey was yet to awaken and Chase sat by her side, looking rough, barely going home and waiting for her to wake up.For the first time in a while, Chase reevaluated his thoughts and prayed Vehemently that she woke up in good health alongside the child within her. He watched like a hawk for any little changes and continually felt the stomach of
The three days watch was finally over and Chase was over the moon. He had gotten up at the crack of dawn and had woken everyone in his house up. Today, finally after so many months of being apart due to one situation or the other Hailey was going to be moving into his house for good. Natalie, her grandfather were out of his life now and he was free to be with whoever he wanted.“Daddy?” Dawn’s voice pulled him back to the present and he smiled as he caught her form in the doorway.“In here Dawn.” He opened his arms smiling when she ran towards him. “You look happy, what’s the secret?” Chase asked lifting her up in his arms as if she weighed nothing. “Does this have anything to do with Hailey coming back home?”“Yes, I’m soooooo excited.” She started telling him her many plans for Hailey’s arrival. Chase nodded his head as he listened attentively, his mind creating images of the kind of family he, Hailey and Dawn will make. She continued listing out her plans and Chase let his mind d
“Do you have the money?”The wind howled ceaselessly that night as the three figures huddled in the dark behind an alley. It was dark and they were unable to make out anyone’s faces but it was clear who they were speaking to.The owner of the luxurious car pulled up into the dirty neighborhood and alighted from the car. The sound of a lighter was heard and soon smoke filled the already polluted air of the night sky. The wind didn’t cease and they knew they had to conclude soon.“Well?” one of them prompted.The figure from the car nodded, a sinister smile visible on the lips.“I have all the cash now, where are the goods?”The three figures revealed a rather large briefcase that wasn't seen before, each one revealing a toothy grin.“Great job,” the figure from the car praised as they dropped the briefcase into the car.The figure pulled a second suitcase out of the car and handed it to them.“It will be appreciated if everything goes smoothly tonight. You understand that no one cross
THREE MONTHS AGOHailey woke up with a start as she heard the sound of her alarm. She was so excited she couldn't control herself.Getting out of the bed she hurried into the bathroom and took a shower then dressed up in one of her favorite dresses.She had purchased the cloth from a local merchant last week in preparation for today. She pulled her curtains revealing the sun rays and allowed it to soak up her skin.She was dressed in a silky red gown that hugged her curves exposing her cleavage a little. She hurried out of her room, her excitement threatening to double her over as she bumped into her best friend and roommate.“Hailey!” her friend exclaimed, startled.“Oh, Ciara. I didn't know that you were in the way,” she apologized.“It’s okay. I guess you're in a hurry,” Ciara nodded, smoothing her skirts.“Yeah. I'm hurrying to get to work on time,” she replied.Ciara frowned. “Work? What’s going on? Since when are you so excited to go to work?”Hailey chuckled. “Since I'm getting
Hailey strolled through the busy streets of New York City as the traffic and pedestrians yelled at each other.She was lost in thoughts as she wondered how her day of promotion turned to the day she got fired. This wasn't what she was expecting at all.Her phone beeped and she glanced at it wondering if it was her best friend, maybe wanting to check up on her and know the progress of her promotion.Tears misted her eyes as she unlocked her phone but the tears disappeared immediately she saw the number displayed on her screen.It wasn't her best friend, it was the lying snitch who had thrown her under the bus and wrecked her life and her career!He wanted to meet, right? A sly smile blossomed on her lips and she cackled maniacally earning weird glances from people around.She couldn't care less. She was about to show him that he shouldn't take her for granted and by the time she was done with him then he would regret his actions.She headed towards the restaurant he had typed in as the
Hailey heaved a sigh as she pressed the doorbell by the huge black gate with sharp spikes. She had no idea who owned the house except that her friend had somehow managed to get her an interview as a nanny.It wasn't her ideal job but she could start with something small before she can work her way back into her newspaper office or another office.“Who is it?” a robotic voice asked over the monitor underneath the doorbell.Hailey peered at the monitor and smiled. “Hailey Parker. I'm here for the nanny interview.”The gate swung open immediately and Hailey gasped as she took in the interior of the house.The house had an ice sculpture of a swan in the waterfall. The walls were all tiled and the floor of the house was smoothed with bricks.The mansion stood tall and proud as she looked around for the person who had opened the gate but she found none.She glanced at the car park and sucked in a deep breath at the number of expensive cars which were parked there.She risked a glance at the
Chase Denver ran a hand through his dark spiky hair tousling it for the fifth time today. He was restless and he knew the reason for his anger. He wasn't prepared for the responsibility his grandfather handed over to him.He knew he promised them he would do anything to save the family business but then…His thoughts were interrupted by a shrieking female. She strutted into his office, her green eyes blazing with fire, her lips pouted in a frown.Her red hair fluttered around her waist and she glared at him ready to breathe fire and brimstone.“Before you say anything, I was just about to call you,” he lied smoothly.“Bullshit!” she snapped, “I called you four hours ago!!”He nodded. “I've been in a meeting since then.”She rolled her eyes. “Save your lies to someone who doesn't know you.”He raised his hands in surrender. “Okay, you got me. I didn't feel like returning your calls, happy now?”She smirked. “I will be after I tell my grandfather that you want our union to fall apart.”
