Kevin bumped into Louisa that morning at the coffee shop. These past days she had still been stubborn and Kevin kind of missed her but he didn't want to accept it. He grabbed her by the hand the moment she walked past him like he didn't exist."Louisa" He called, his voice gentle and firm while he gripped her. " I thought we had talked about this, " He groaned. His pride got hurt a bit that she tried to ignore him. The same Louisa that stalked him.Louisa gently shoved his hands " I have nothing to say to you " She glared at him and strode off the coffee shop. She came out and heaved a sigh. Her heart had been thumping unwittingly. She gasped for air, deep down she missed him, all she wanted to do was dive in his embrace when she saw him. She got more disappointed when she looked back and he wasn't coming after her. ' Have I played too hard to get ' she thought, looking back to see if he was coming. But he didn't. She hissed and started walking. "What was I even thinking" She slow
In the Morning when Jason was walking alongside Carlos to the office. He just came to work that morning feeling energetic.As Jason walked, the atmosphere felt heavy and muggy. The workers were muttering to each other, their voices low and secretive. A feeling of unease began to settle over him. He could feel something wasn't right and it was making his skin crawl. He halted, leaned in and whispered words to Carlos " What could be going on?" " I have no idea sir, but I will quickly find out " Carlos started and zoomed off ahead of him.Jason followed. While some workers shined their bright faces, some didn't. In fact, a lot had that livid and squeezed face.The moment Jason got to the front of his office his jaw dropped instantly.Jason felt a chill run through him as he took in the sight of his office. The once flawless glass walls were, covered in angry red scrawl that screamed for his resignation. "Die, you flirt! You don't deserve to be the CEO!!! Step down!!!."It was very clea
"Hello sir, we have a big problem! your father just passed out! We are currently taking him to the hospital. " Tony reported over the phone."What! '' Jason rose from his seat and raked his hands through his hair. " what happened!" He yelled out, seeming confused.While there seemed to be a silence " I'm coming over! " He broke out and quickly strutted out of his office.Jason wanted to carry his cross alone so he never told Ashley or Reyes the situation he was in. He didn't want them to worry or be in anxiety.Jason got to their family hospital and Ashley and Margaret were already there alongside Tony and Sam.Ashley ran over to him and embraced him with a warm smile.Jason looked out of it but he managed to hold Ashley and patt her back.He glanced over to Tony after pulling himself away from Ashley." What happened?" He asked.Tony shook his head before he began talking. " Sir Reyes listened to the news. I tried not to let him as you ordered but he was adamant and threatened to fi
Three days had passed and time was furiously ticking. Jason hadn't been able to find evidence. Finding out about Juliet wasn't easy especially when he was only given three days. He paid a series of hackers to get her information but possibly Juliet might have also excited the city. Reyes had already woken up but was still in the hospital. All Jason could do was say sorry over and over again. He felt so less of himself. He failed his dad and mostly failed everyone close to him.Ashley decided to stay over at the mansion with her mom for a while instead of the apartment. That day, Jason stayed in the boardroom without hope. He could only reminisce on how he failed his dad, Ashley and everyone else. He felt stupid and less of a man. He bowed his head in the boardroom, so many thoughts were running through his head. Including how to get rid of Leo. As if he intentionally cleared all the information about Juliet. The reason he was so confident about winning. Leo kept smirking, full of h
*Two days before the day*" what is going on at the company?" Ashley was profusely questioning Carlos who claimed everything had been fine. "Nothing, everything is fine ma'am " Carlos replied."This is the third time, are you going to keep lying?" Ashley folded her arms over her chest as Carlos drifted his eyes away."I'm not a kid, you can't keep lying. I know that something is up, "she added.Carlos sucked in a deep breath. "If the boss wanted you to know, I'm sure he would have told you. I don't want to disobey his orders. I'm sure he had his reasons." "How is he going to know? Well, except you tell him" Ashley uttered, raising her brows."Ma'am…I…m" "Shhh" Ashley cut off. " I can help with whatever it is, I'm sure of it. I was supposed to be a lawyer so I have that investigative instinct. I want to help. I may not have known Jason for a long time but I know how he is now. He shined brightly like stars but now I'm not so sure. So please tell me " Ashley's words were pleading
Katherine told them everything she knew about Juliet. Ashley went over to the hospital and saw the young boy. She was sure Juliet would visit him anytime soon. She paid for the surgery and asked the doctors to proceed with it. The surgery took the rest of the day and with Katherine, they were able to get hold of the young boy.The next day being the last day before the D-day. Juliet came over to the hospital and couldn't find her son. When the doctors told them that the surgery had happened, the young boy left with Katherine. She inhaled a deep breath. At least he was in safe hands. When she recognized herself, she asked them who paid for the surgery. That morning she got a call from Ashley to come over to a certain place. Juliet ignored her with the hope of her child being in safe hands and headed over to Katherine's apartment to take her son."Jay Jay is not with me, " Katherine uttered with a stern face."What do you mean by that? The hospital said you took him with you. Is thi
"The surgery was successful " Said the doctor and they all heaved a sigh of relief. Ashley slightly fell backwards while Louisa was able to catch her." How long will it take for him to wake up?" Kevin asked. " At least from three to six hours, he will wake up. Then if you will excuse me " The doctor answered and left."I will stay with him till he wakes up, you guys can go. " Ashley announced. "Right, we will leave now. " Margaret added.The time was already 10:00 pm. Tony left with Margaret while Kevin and Louisa left but then Louisa was still stubborn and reluctant to give him a chance to explain." Loui, wait for me " Kevin ran after her, trying to catch up with her.He eventually caught up with her and held her hand but she tossed it away." Let's talk, let me explain, okay? " " I don't want to hear anything, it's not like you owe me any explanation. We are not dating, just a fling. So since we have saved Jason, I don't want to see your face anymore" Louisa remarked coldly.
Ashley slept at the hospital that night with Jason. In the morning when she woke up, he was still fast asleep. She frowned because she kind of stayed awake the whole night waiting for him to wake up. She heaved a sigh as the doctor stepped in to check on Jason. " Why is he taking so long to open his eyes? " She asked with a worried expression. The doctor went over and examined him before he said " We all have different body systems. He will wake up. His breathing and pulse are normal. Then if you will excuse me." The doctor strutted out of the ward. Ashley reluctantly slumped to the seat near the bed.She bent her head and held his hands "Please wake up already. I miss you so much " She cried out. " I won't " Jason's voice came through as he winked at her, lifting himself from the bed."Hey! " she hurriedly rose up and gave him a subtle whack on his hands. "That hurts! " Jason cried out as she quickly embraced him. She held him so tightly out of joy. He could barely breathe. She
