"But guess what, Dad?" Kristen continued, "I chose to forgive mom but I am not forgiving you for leaving, at least I still see mom even if she doesn't do much but I can't see you even though you are doing a lot there at your grave. I didn't forgive you will not mean that I hate you. I love you and you are forever in my heart. Keep resting on." With every last resolve not to break down, Kristen dropped her bouquet and hurriedly towards the car in her tears. Mrs. King bent and dropped hers and stood silently for a while before speaking up, "I know I am a failure as a mother. I didn't think about Kristen before marrying your best friend or I thought but maybe, my thoughts were wrong. Of course, they were, Stephen King was not who I thought he was and every day I live, I regret that decision to get married to him after your death. I never understood his true intentions but I am making a promise to you, he will pay for making the bundle of your joy cry." She turned and left as well.
"Not, by me, I guess. I believe they are irritated because I keep them waiting." She concluded in her mind and cleared her throat, "let's go inside then and we can start the introduction from there." She lead them inside and the aroma that hit them was heavenly. She might not be a good person but she is definitely a good cook. "Welcome to my place," she said and gestured for her guests to sit down All three of them settled down and Noami looked up expectantly at Frederick. Frederick needed not to be told that she was still waiting for him to introduce Gabby to her. "Meet my younger brother, Gabby and Gabby meet Noami, a lovely soul." Frederick introduced the two to each other. "You mean a devilish soul?"Gabby thought and stretched out his hand for a handshake towards Noami who took it happily, "nice to meet, Gabby. I had no idea that Frederick had a cute brother." "What do you expect? He is handsome, I should be handsome too." Gabby said and smiled for the first ti
Kristen breathed in then shook her head slightly, trying to shake off the thought of what would have happened if she had fallen. "Stop being so clumsy, you are pregnant," she cautioned herself and smiled her thanks at Noami. "Easy there, you don't go about falling. Are you okay?"Kristen nodded with a smile but the smile wiped up when she remembered who was standing before her. Though she saved her from falling, it did not erase the fact that they are not friends and since she is not a friend of hers, Noami was not welcomed, regardless she just did her a huge favor. Kristen knew too well to stay away from people like Noami. They are not good people. Her subconscious mind reminded her to move slightly away from her neighbor and Kristen stepped away. Noami saw how scornful Kristen looked at her and cursed in her mind then said within herself, "sometimes I wonder what kind of human being you are, you know danger when you see one. I am glad you can identify foes from friends and
Gabby watched his brother in pain, his heart reached out to him and he wished he could perform some miracle so Kristen will remember. Noami was happy with how things turned out. Her almost crashing heart was back in shape in no time. The handshake was taking longer than necessary so Noami cleared her throat and Kristen pulled her hand away. Right there, she felt the void she had constantly felt for two weeks. "Why do I feel like I know this guy more than this? Is he more than what he presents to me?" Kristen was getting confused and started to feel uneasy."Frederick, right?" Kristen asked cautiously and Frederick nodded, "Yes, I am Frederick." Alright, you might know my name but let me introduce myself, "I am Kristen, nice to meet you" "Nice to meet you too, Kristen" He replied then added quietly, "and your hands are really soft."Kristen blushed slightly and Noami sighed heavily which caused both Frederick and Kristen to turn their heads."What's wrong?" Kristen whisp
Frederick's grip was firm and instead of getting off quickly, Kristen found herself leaning comfortably on Frederick's arm. She sniffed his cologne and inhaled deeply, the smell of expensive soap filled her nostrils. His warm arms wrapped themselves around her waist tightly, preventing her from falling to the ground. She raised her head and looked up and found his blue eyes staring directly into hers, a few inches apart, his dark brown curls covering most of his face. When their gazes clashed, neither moved to look away. They stared intently at each other, trying to communicate with their eyes. Kristen knew there was a connection between them but she can't define what kind of connection it is. Both stayed like that until Gabby's voice broke the silence,"Kristen? Are you alright?"Kristen jumped off Frederick's embrace and realized she was leaning on him for too long. She looked away embarrassedly but when she felt someone touch her hand, she froze. Frederick's warm hand was touching
Lucian was pacing around on his balcony when his father, Mr. Daniel Lous walked in with his hands behind him. He is a man of broad shoulders. Tall but not muscular; a bit lean on the side, though not skinny. His face is well-defined, with a strong jawline. His dark brown hair is thinning a little, showing signs of age. His eyes are blue like Lucian’s, with a hint of gray. When he smiles he looks happy and kind. He wears glasses on occasion which makes him look less intimidating to others. And yet, for some reason, Lucian is afraid to look into his eyes as they say ‘I’m your father’ to you for no reason other than that it scares him. But that was before, Lucian suddenly grew thick skin to his father's intimidating aura. He did not know where this attitude came from. Maybe he was just too tired to be scared or he thinks he can do something and his father will dare not stop him.His father stopped right next to him and said without any hint of emotion: “You didn't bring her?""I was to
In the blink of an eye, Kristen was surrendered and rushed into a ward before Frederick could recover from his shock. His brother can't be fighting for his life and his lost love is also unconscious. What's happening? Frederick needed to know what all these were. He wasn't allowed into the ward until Kristen was stable, it was an order from the doctor. It was going to be a long evening for him. Quietly, he sat down in the waiting room, leaning against the wall. He closed his eyes and waited for news. ************* Maria King paced around her room, looking restless. She has been trying to call her daughter but she has not been picking up. Kristen is not angry with her or is she?She somehow knew that something was wrong with her daughter. No matter how angry Kristen will be with her, she can't ignore her calls for that long therefore she is some sort of danger. Maria decided that if she did not get through to Kristen by tomorrow morning, she is visi
Lucian had this murderous look on his face as he stood at the door, the room turned cold instantly and Kristen shivered. Lucian being this angry is what she can't understand. She is lying here in the hospital with a bandage on her head and her baby being in danger, instead of him rushing over to her side and asking her how she is doing, he stood at the door looking so murderous. She huffed in her mind and looked away.Frederick said nothing but continued to watch the angry man at the door. Both men know the truth and from what he had gathered, Lucian was the one who sent the gunman to kill him, mistaking Gabby to be him. The plan was simple; shoot any man with her. It means he was actually keeping a tag on Kristen yesterday but whoever was stalking Kristen did not give him all the information so Lucian had thought Kristen purposely ignored his calls. He just got to know late last night that the man shot wasn't Frederick but his brother and also, Kristen was hospitalized at the
