Emily knelt beside him, checking for a pulse. She breathed a sigh of relief and turned to Celine. "He's still alive," she said.Celine's heart was pounding in her chest. She had never been so close to death before. The room was filled with the sound of their labored breathing.The minutes stretched on, and the silence between them was unbearable. Celine tried to speak, but her throat was too tight.Finally, they heard the sound of sirens outside. Celine felt a rush of relief. The police were coming.Jones was taken away in handcuffs, and Celine and Emily were left alone in the room. They sat on the bed, numb and exhausted.Emily put her arm around Celine. "Are you okay?" she asked softly.Celine shook her head. "No," she said. "That crazy guy almost killed us. He didn't care a bit about you.""It's okay," Emily said. "We'll get through this together."Celine leaned into her friend's embrace, feeling safe for the first time since the ordeal began. She knew that they had a long road ahe
“That's a bad idea, Celine” Emily advised. Celine didn't heed, she barged into the house with her house pounding. She would rather go in than stay out waiting for a miracle.Celine's heart skipped a beat as she slid the doorknob, she takes a quiet step in and the door shut behind her. She knew this was a trap, but it was too late to turn back now. She stood frozen, she gasps when she sighted Henry, Helen, and Erickson in chains, and then her hawkish gaze moved back at David.It was the first time she's seeing David in person. She squint's her brows"Who are you?" Celine asked, trying to sound confident but failing."I want your supposed father, my dear, I'm David," David replied with a smirk. "I've been waiting for this moment for a long time. Now I have you to myself."Celine clenched her fists and stepped forward. "You're sick, David. Let them go and face me like a man."David chuckled. "You are in no position to give me orders, my dear. You are the one who is going to do as I say.
Helen stood in front of the open wardrobe, her hands trembling as she pulled out clothes and shoved them into a suitcase. Tears streamed down her face, and her chest heaved with sobs."How could you do this to me, Henry?" she screamed. "How could you have a child with another woman?"Henry stood behind her, his hands in his pockets, looking crestfallen."Helen, I'm sorry," he said, his voice barely above a whisper. "I never meant to hurt you. It was a mistake, a one-night stand, I swear.""A mistake?" Helen whirled around, her face contorted with anger. "A child is not a mistake, Henry! You have a daughter out there, and you didn't even have the decency to tell me!""Helen, please," Henry begged, taking a step towards her. "Let me explain.""Explain what?" Helen shouted. "That you've been lying to me for years? That you've been keeping secrets from me? That you've been cheating on me?""I didn't cheat on you," Henry protested. "It happened before we even met.""That doesn't make it be
It was getting dark“I will drive us home, besides mum must be damn worried,” Celine announced.Henry let out a chuckle, laughing with eyes “I wouldn't want to end up in an accident, love.” Celine darted a feigned glare at him.“You can't force me, your highness.” A blush appeared on her face, she hopped in the car with a wide smile, the smile she had never had. Her life feels complete with her family whole and healthy but she didn't think of the evil lurking in a corner. Henry drove, they were only stealing glances at each other in silence.“Dad, do you treasure every moment we share just like I do?” Celine broke the silence.“Uh… that's not a question, love. I treasure every second I set my eyes on you. I regret the fact that I didn't see you grow up.” “Those three days we spent tomorrow felt like 20 years, Dad. You don't have to be sorry.” Celine chimed.The vehicle halts at his mansion. They alighted with a smile. Don crinkled his nose when he sighted Celine, he got disgusted
“Shh…I know you love me more.” Erickson said like he read her mind. Celine shrugged with a frown. “Will you stop making this weird?” Erickson grabs her arm tightly. He moved closer to her and his eyes met hers. With a smirk, he leaned closer. Celine jolts, she tried to walk away but his tight grip on her arm stopped her. Erickson was only making things hard for her, he was trying to confess his feelings but since Celine wasn't willing to listen to his confessions, he thought he had to force it on her.His grip on her arm becomes tighter and he didn't notice the pain he's inflicting on her. “I love you too” Celine confessed with tears streaming down her chin. She thought she could hide those feelings but not anymore.Her heart ceased for a second, she wanted to run away from her feelings and then Erickson embraced her from behind.He let go of her arm with a grin, finally fulfilling his wish. “Let's run away!” Erickson confessed with tears dropping from his eyes.Unknown to them, the
Henry ran to a doctor his eyes met “Hi, how is my son, Erickson? I heard he got into an accident and he needed a blood donor.” Henry questioned, he cared less about arresting Hannah.“Oh, you mean the patient in ward 103. His partner regained consciousness with bruises but he's still unconscious, he loved so much blood and urgently need a blood donor.” The doctor explained.“Then what are you waiting for? What about the blood bank?” Henry asked hastily. Bianca watched the cops take Hannah. She, later on, remembered her children, and she ran to Celine's ward.“Frankly, there is a higher percentage that the blood bank might not be able to deliver on time. It might be too late when they arrive.” Tue doctor explained.“I can't lose my son. No! I just can't!” he lamented holding his head, tears flowing from his eyes as he stares at the doctor.“Aren't you his father?” The doctor questioned. “I am!” Henry said almost screaming. He knew the next option was to carry out some tests on his bloo
The noise of cars hooting made everyone terrified of reaching the lifeless body on the busy road. There was distant murmuring, all vehicles sped by to avoid getting into trouble.No one stopped by to help except for a white Mercedes Benz that halted before Bianca. A young gentleman alights from the back seat of the white vehicle, he has a long white and black dyed beard, his black short and silky hair was padded with a band and he was on makeup that suits his skin color perfectly. He was on his way to his office just like every responsible adult.“Who would do this to a poor lady? After knocking her down, what will it take to admit her to the hospital? Can they be so inhuman?” He muttered to himself as he puts out his hands from his pocket. He walked up to her and checked her pulse, temperature, and heart beating rate which was very slow, he nods positively signaling to his driver that she was still alive. The driver helped carry her into the vehicle and drove off.They arrived at Ro
Roberto walks with a lofty proud gait, in an attempt to impress his female employees. Roberto is a handsome guy, he is every lady's dream man. He springs forward to Bianca's ward to announce goodbye before he could take a leave from the hospital, he plans on finding the place she resides also.“Bianca Williams, I have been searching for you for ages. Now that I've found you, I won't let go of you until you…” Roberto opens Bianca's ward door and twists the door knob. He stopped muttering to himself at first as he was in shock, his eyes were as wide as an owl's eye as the ward appeared empty.He turned around as he glimpses a nurse with a tray filled with medicines striding to another patient's ward.“Hey, did you discharge patient 2005 already?” Roberto asked as he paused the nurse from moving, pointing at Bianca's ward.“I'm not sure but a man in black came claiming he is Bianca's husband, we let him in her ward.” The nurse explained, smiling sheepishly at Roberto.“Is there any proble
