MANNYFor the first time In weeks, Manny ate. However, it took a lot of persuasion from her mother and it took even more convictions to get Andrew out of the house.Her mum decided to stay with her till the day of delivery. It didn't mean she forgave her, she just felt pity.The one person her husband trusted after her was the one who caused her so much pain. Whilst her mother had hurt her, it was unbearable to see her cry every day.Her mother claimed to have done what she did to protect her, but that wasn't even up to half of the reason. There was always an ulterior motive to all her mother's actions.“I don't have time for this mother. You came here to take care of me but it's been the other way around." Manny complained as her mother played with the food she brought upstairs.“You can leave, I'll eat it when I'm ready.” She sniffed and stood up from where she sat."Whatever. I'll come get the plate later.”"Manny.” Kari called as her daughter was about to leave.“I'm sorry.” Mann
MANNYAndrew paced to and fro as Manny's screams filled the corridor.He had booked a private room for her and no other medical personnel was permitted to be there. If she was going to give birth to a dead child, he needed it to be a secret.Worry and anxiety overwhelmed him as Manny's painful screams became louder. If the child was already dead as the doctor claimed, why was the delivery painful?“Push." The Doctor instructed Manny let out a loud scream as her hands tightly gripped the nurses beside her and she pushed with every strength she had in her.“You're almost there Mrs. Cooper, just a little more.”"I don't think I can go on.” Manny replied, her breathing ragged. She wasn't sure if she could continue, she had used up every strength left in her.“Just a little more for the baby to be out completely. Gather the littlest if strength you have and push when I tell you too." She peered at him, sweat ran down her face as she breathed heavily, exhaling and inhaling through her mou
ANDREW “Sir, the buyer just left. He said something important came up, he'll be back tomorrow.”The call cut and Andrew let out a furious sigh and quickly did a reverse. He caused multiple times as the cars in front kept making him step on the brake on several occasions.“Your wife is resting sir." A nurse walked up to him and said. He nodded and went down to Manny's ward, grateful she was asleep.Walking down the corridor, Andrew couldn't shake off the eerie feeling he felt. Manny's side of the ward was quiet, too quiet.There were no chatters or laughs from the guards. If he didn't know any better, he'd think they were taking their jobs seriously.He was on high alert straight away. As he got closer, he noticed trails of blood on the floor. He walked a little bit further and there they were, the body guards he'd hired, all lying dead on the floor with their throat slit.Without thinking, he brought out his gun and ran to Manny's wards. Doctor Harry and a nurse stood in the middle
MANNYManny has been working as early as 7 in the morning preparing the models for the upcoming fashion show.Looking at the clock, she discovered that it was already late into the afternoon and she hadn't even had breakfast yet. With sweat running down her face and a bunch of pins in her mouth, Manny felt tired. All she wanted was to go back to her office, relax, and have a good lunch. Good thing she was dressing the last model for the day.“Allen Cooper and his father will be coming by the office today to sort out the contract for the marriage and I want you to remember that this marriage benefits the both of us and you must sign the contract. ” her mum said in a serious tone, coming out of the large dressing room.Manny felt irritated and fed up. Her mum has been pestering her about the contract for the last two weeks, why couldn't she just accept that she's not ready to marry? “No Mother, I want to marry someone who loves me for me and not just what he can get out of me.” “I d
ANDREWAndrew tried getting up from bed but the headache won't let him. Good thing he kept a pack of aspirin and a bottle of water by his side.After taking it, he laid for a bit allowing the drug to take effect a little. He had flashbacks of the party yesterday.He still remembers how the lady he grinded at the club smelt and how her body felt in his hands as she rocked her body against his, especially her bum. Everything fitted so perfectly. His thoughts were interrupted by a phone call. As he picked up his phone, he saw that it was Jason. What could he want early this morning?Jason and Andrew have been friends since they were little although Andrew's father always thought that Jason was a bad influence on Andrew. Eventually the bond grew stronger as Jason started working at the company just like Andrew. “Dude, I've been calling you for the past five minutes. Where are you? The board meeting is about to start and your dad is furious.““Don’t tell me you still went to that party
MANNY Avery hated Manny on the spot. She made up her mind to keep the fashion house now that it had fallen in her hands on a platter of gold. After all, her dear cousin might never find someone to marry her. Manny tried to avoid Avery all through the night till the morning. She couldn't bear being with someone who was taking something that was hers. Meanwhile, her mother seemed to be avoiding her. She was either busy designing or staying in her office doing who knows what all day. Manny had so many questions. She felt mistreated, how could her mother give something that's rightfully hers to an outsider– although Avery was a long-distance cousin? As Manny was in her office stuffing her face with food, Avery walked in like she owned the place. “See Manny this is why no one will ever want you. Look at all these junk food” Avery said, her face contorted with disgust. “What do you want Avery? Aren't you supposed to be overseeing the models?” A twain of a frown appeared on Ave
MANNY Early the next morning, Josie was parked outside of the house waiting for Manny. Manny had also woken up a bit too early preparing every document she thought would be of use to the doctor. The door opened ajar and standing there was Avery looking mad. “You think just because your mum wants you to have a baby you'll be able to take over this fashion house?” “I'll just be taking back what was rightfully mine. My mother just brought you here to help out or did you really think she'll hand over the business to you? Someone, she barely knows?” Manny returned mockingly. Manny chuckled lightly and went down to meet Josie as the look on Avery's face gave her some satisfaction. “Where have you been? Do you have any idea how long I've been waiting?” Josie screamed, stomping her foot furiously as she leaned on her car. “You will be lucky if you get there in time for your appointment.” “Sorry, I had a little problem that needed sorting.” “You always have something that ne
ANDREWAfter seeing Kate's call, he couldn't bring himself to answer it. He hated how she made him feel vulnerable.As he drove home he thought of all the possible reasons that she would call. Maybe there was a chance that she was coming back.Getting home, he noticed a tiny figure waiting for him by the door. As he got closer, he saw his mother's large brown eyes staring at him.Overcome with so many emotions, his mother leaned into him crying. There were so many unsaid words at that moment.“It’s alright mum, everything will be fine." Andrew said, holding his mother tightly.He wished there was a way to ease the pain that she felt. He might have to stumble to the wish of his after. They stayed that way a little longer until she was tired of crying.Leading her by the hand, Andrew carried her to her room. “Andrew, come in here.” Mr Allen called from his study across the hallway.Andrew stiffened as he heard his father call out to him. He hoped it was not another one of his father's
