Hadley's face twisted in confusion seeing Maurice standing with a walker as he gazed at the two people in front of him.He walked out of the room claiming to be stuffed and needing fresh air but he never expected the sight he saw in the hallway.Nicholas's expression was blissful when he saw him but Hadley's was surprised and she also looked worried that he could not decipher her intentions.He didn't know why she was looking worried and her surprised expression was beyond him too."Oh, my goodness Maurice! What are you doing outside?" Hadley asked rushing over to Maurice and the man smiled tightly hearing her words."I just have bandages on my head, I am not crippled," Maurice says, touching Hadley's face."I know but you just woke up and recovered, of course, I should make a fuss if I see you doing something that dangerous when you are just recovering," Hadley scolded and Maurice smiled, loving how the woman was worried but Nicholas's voice made his expression turn gloomy. "Hi Maur
The time stopped as Hadley watched Nicholas let go of Maurice's grip on him and she felt her world stop as she closed her eyes hoping that she was hallucinating.Hadley opened her eyes back still hearing the breathing sound of the man and she knew that it was no joke. Maurice has really fallen."Ahhh! You demon! What have you done?" Hadley yelled rushing to the man and she reached to slap the man's cheek but Nicholas held her hands in midair."What are you doing!" He yelled, looking at Hadley, whose eyes were brimming with tears."Are you crazy you just dropped…what ammi doing…I should go and ask for help!" Hadley bellowed, jerking her hands away from the man and she took her heels trying to go look for help but Maurice's voice behind her stopped her movement."Where are you going?" Maurice asked, and when she turned around thinking that her ears were playing tricks on her she was surprised to find Maurice standing unscathed looking at her."What? You are.." Hadley could not complete
The two women sat facing each other in the coffee shop, and the atmosphere was tense so that you could mistake them for an opponent on a battlefield waiting for each other's attack.“Are you still not going to talk?” Carolina asked, looking at Bella with disdain but the girl just smiled hearing her words.Even though she was mad that the lady was talking to her like that she had to swallow her anger, and looked for the best way to make the lady join her hands with her.She has to make sure that justice was served for the person she lost.“I don't think you should be talking like this, Miss, we are both after the same thing,” Bella says with a smile trying her best not to rile the girl up.“Don't you say that Miss, I am sure that you are more desperate than I am, I mean you are even approaching a stranger, that's the height of it. I am sure that you need me more than I need you so start talking,” she urged, and Bella's smile falters hearing that.“I know a way to kick your cousin-in-la
Days passed, and Maurice was finally discharged from the hospital but as time passed Hadley kept getting withdrawn because of her father's pressure on her.He kept pressuring her about her sister's health, and making different threats about her so that Hadley couldn't succumb to his threats. She hasn't come up with a plan, and she couldn't inform Maurice who just woke up to help her out.“What are you thinking about?” Maurice asked, and Hadley jolted in fear hearing his words because she didn't know that the man was behind her.“When did you get here?” she asked, trying to get the man's hand off her but the man wasn't letting her go.He could sense that she hadn't herself the past few days, and it might be that his secret fears were finally surfacing.Maybe she wanted to leave him, Maurice thought, but he was planning to hold onto her no matter what.“Did you just get out of the shower? You have to change or you are going to catch a cold!” she reprimanded seeing that Maurice was dripp
The whole ballroom fell into silence, and Nicholas's gesture raised an eyebrow to everyone in the room, and they were all curious as to what Hadley was going to do. “What are you doing, Mr. Sanders?” Hadley asked through gritted teeth warning the man to behave herself, and she wondered why Maurice was silent on the matter.He wasn't that quiet, so she understood what was going on. Maybe she should be worried after all.“I am asking you to dance, Mrs. Elliot? Did you find it so wrong?” he asked, and she hissed hearing his words.She was sure that he was trying to get Maurice to lose his temper in front of those people, and when Hadley started wanting to lash out at the man, Maurice interrupted her.“You are really funny, Mr. Sanders I almost mistaken you for a comedian instead of a businessman. How could you ask my wife to accompany you?” Maurice asked, and his chilly voice resonated through the room, and the bustling atmosphere dampened.Maurice has that effect, his voice alone was e
The starry night was illuminated by the moon, but Hadley felt gloomy as she looked at it. She was devastated and didn't know what to do.After she left the party while chasing after Maurice, she had this unsettling feeling that something was going wrong, and she didn't even know what that could be.“Are you not coming in, ma'am?" Hadley heard one of the maids ask, and she beamed her a smile telling her that she was fine.“No, I am going to wait for my husband," Hadley replied, asking the maid not to worry about her. Yes, Maurice wasn't home even though they left the party together. He was kind of her to ask her to enter the car but immediately he dropped her off the zoomed off without saying a thing.How was she supposed to explain to him when he wasn't even giving her a chance to do that?“It is all that prick's fault, how could he have hugged me? That demon from hell should be castrated!" Hadley cursed but she stopped herself seeing that she was yelling at that quiet night.“I just
"Raise your head high!!" the instructor yelled, frustratedly looking at Hadley, who was doing the opposite of what she had taught her. The country's pumpkin was giving her a headache. "Ok," Hadley smiled apologetically but heaven knows that was the opposite of what was going on in her head. She so much wanted to rip someone's head right now. Why does she need to walk like an ostrich just for a dinner party? The way of the rich is different. "We are going to do it again and this time, you have to get it right," the woman said and Hadley nodded knowing she was still going to the opposite. "Stop!!!" The woman yelled with all her veins bulging out which looked funny to Hadley and she avoided her eyes not wanting to be caught smiling. "You need to catch up on the training. How do you intend to fool Elliot? All you do is walk like a toad," the woman exaggerated and that got her thinking. Does a toad walk?? "A toad doesn't walk Miss Freya," Hadley replied the woman in her early 50s a
Hadley turned around to look at the person that recognized her and she was shocked to see that it was her best friend, Maria. They grew up in the countryside and Hadley knew she was going to believe it was her because she didn't know she had a twin just like how she didn't know a thing. Hadley knew even if she wanted to lie her friend was going to know it was her so there was no point. "Oh my God it's you, Hadley," Hadley's friend Maria exclaimed, jumping on the stiff Hadley and she embraced her in a tight hug. "What are you doing here?"Maria asked excitedly, still hugging her friend. The people around quietened down and they all watched as a woman in waitress clothes enveloped Gilbert's only daughter in her embrace. "Is that not Gilbert's daughter, why is the girl calling her Hadley," a voice came among the people and another voice joined. "From the hug, the girl looked kinda close to the girl and she was sure it was the person she knew,". People started whispering and Hadley p
