The door swung open with a bang, and Simon turned around to see Alvira rush in with a face washed white with fear and sweat "Alvira?" He called with surprise. "God! Simon! You scared me!" Alvira shouted and busted into tears as she ran to him and fell into his arms hugging him. Simon didn’t have time to overcome his surprise when he felt her run into him.“You are not allowed to scare me like that again!” She shouted at him again and he smiled, his eyes softening in the process.He didn't seem to understand why she was there instead of his grandmother, or did they come together? He had believed his grandparents would be the first people to walk through that door now that he was at the hospital, but he was surprised to see that it was her, and it made him happy. All his life, no woman had ever been that worried about him, or being there for him in moments like this other than his grandmother and the thought that she was not just there but was worried about him made his heart feel wa
Simon slowly opened his eyes and stared at the ceiling for a while before turning his head calmly to Asher who happened to walk into the room at that exact minute, the bandage on Asher’s head was now gone and replaced with a small plaster, as was the neck brace on Simon’s neck. "How was it?" He asked and Asher beamed. "It was successful." He replied and Simon sighed heavily, swallowed, and returned his gaze to the spot on the white ceiling that his eyes seemed glued to. While it was good news that the spinal surgery had been carried out successfully, it still seemed too good to be true to him. The first thing he had done three days ago, was to convince Alvira that he needed to be discharged the day after as he claimed he had to make a trip to a meeting the day after and also that he would be gone for a while. Even though she had complained that he needed to rest more at this hospital, she still had no choice but to agree to let him get discharged from the hospital. He had gone home
Sarah sat on her bed going through a few family photographs, a faint smile tugging her lips, in fact, she had been a little bored these days. She had been rather excited when she heard of the supposed relationship between Alvira and Simon and had been even more excited when she knew Simon was really interested in Alvira, she had hoped after that dinner, she would hear more good news, especially from Alvira's mother who she had made it a habit to call frequently and gossip with. But she had heard nothing, in fact, it seemed as if nothing was going on, and their relationship was almost nonexistent. She thought and sighs, just then her phone rang and she picked it up. "Hello?" "What?" She frowned and stood up slowly. "How is that possible?" She asked, her frown deepening. She shook her head as she listened to the words of the other person, "I really don’t know what are you talking about, but you know what? I would find out what is going on and call you back." She informed the per
Alvira wiped the sweat from off her brows and sighed as she looked around the room she had just finished cleaning, her workload had increased greatly over the past few days and even though she knew it was purposely done by Lara to torture her she turned a blind eye to it, the best she could do was to adjust her shifts to before and after classes.Today in particular, she had changed her shift from morning to evening as she had been busy with her exams off late, what made things a little convenient was the fact that Simon was not in the mansion, thus the cleaning of the room was not as urgent as it usually was. She sighed as she pushed the cleaning cart towards the storage room downstairs, she stopped there, returned the cleaning equipment to their usual places, and headed for the changing room. As she did, her phone rang and she pulled it out of the pocket of her apron, looked at it and her eyes widened when she saw more than five missed calls, and they were all from Emily. Why didn’
Simon sighs and looks out the window. It was night already, and it was frustrating to sit there unable to do anything and just wait for others to do it for him. At least he had made a move first and informed his lawyer of the threat before the whole thing blew up, if not, it would have been really frustrating. He looked around the private room and found Asher wasn't anywhere in the room, he didn’t bother looking for him either, he knew he was working hard to keep things in check at the company, he pulled out his phone and saw the missed calls from Alvira, at the sight of it, he sighed again, she must be really worried about him, he had to call her and let her know he was fine. As he was about to do just that, he stumbled on the video sent to him by an anonymous number. He opened it first hoping to watch it before calling Alvira. He frowned when he saw Lana, Clarisse, and Alvira seated at a table in a cafe."I wanted to give you this.” Clarisse pulled an envelope out of her bag and p
Alvira stared out the floor-to-ceiling window of the restaurant she had been sitting in, a worried expression on her face, it was past eight in the evening and the city was still as busy as ever. She didn't seem to understand why Jared asked her to meet him here when they could just talk at the mansion but that was the least of her worries right now. It has been a week since the caregivers sued Simon, and since she had spoken to Simon on the phone, and up until now, she cannot explain what had really happened, or what was going on with Simon. The day after Simon hung up on her and asked her never to show herself in front of him ever again, she had gone to meet Madam Sarah to ask about Simon’s wellbeing but she had only heard that he would be staying abroad for the time being until everything settled. It was obvious that Simon had not said anything about her to his grandparents. But she did not understand, she did not understand what she had done wrong, she did not understand why he
Alvira's eyes widened in surprise then she shook her head in disbelief, “That’s not true. Simon would never believe a thing like that.” She said without batting a lash and Jared raised a brow.“Why don’t you call him and see.” He said with an air of confidence around him.“He might be angry for a few days but...” Alvira trailed off as her mind went back to the last discussion she had with Simon. He seems to be mad at her, really mad. He had broken up with her, he broke up with her without even telling her why. So this was it? This was the reason? He heard something about her?She kept her eyes glued to the plate, not wanting Jared to see the continuous emotional fluctuations in her eyes as she began to remember the things that Simon had said to her that night, so he had said all that because of what he had seen in a video? What video was it? Why didn't he confront her but accuse her instead? So he believes the things in the video over her? When he had said they were done. He really
Alvira walked out of the exam hall amidst a crowd of students, all discussing the difficulty level of the just concluded paper with their friends. She only sighed in agreement as those around her complained of how hard the paper was.“Alvira, how was your exam?” Grace, her bedmate asked as she caught up with her.It’s been two weeks since they started their exams and since she had moved into the school dormitory to squat with Grace. Her mother had convinced her to do this the week her exams were about to start, to be precise, she told her to stay in school to prevent distractions. But she knew that the distractions her mother was referring to were simply Simon and any news about him. Her mother had not stopped scolding him since she came home from her dinner date with Jared three weeks ago. She even told her to stop going to work at the Walkers’ mansion and she listened and never went back there. Even if her mother hadn’t informed her to stop, she would still not go back there. She
