In Love Again 75: TRUMP CARD 2
Edgar’s face paled at the words he heard Miller say, so he, who had been classified as a just man since the beginning of the case, was here supporting criminals and trying to put an innocent man in jail? He glanced at Simon who was sitting in his box watching the entire drama unfold as if it had nothing to do with him and sighed. There must be nothing new about what was happening right now for this man. He glanced at Mike who was doing the questioning and he felt like he finally knew why Mike was better than himself, it was simple, he had better eyes. He dropped the pen in his hand in resignation and rested back in his chair determined to watch the rest of the court session, he had no other argument.“Miss Miller, no one is judging you, I only asked if you knew the man in the video,” Mike asked again, obviously unbothered by Miller’s weeping, as all the other people watching her were. In fact, a lot of people now felt irritated by her weeping.“Yes.”“Who is he?’”“Mr. Joshua Stone!”
In Love Again 76: LANA’S THOUGHTS
From the top floor of a high-end restaurant, Lana who had been following the whole drama online sighed and put her iPad aside, “What a lively day,” She commented in a bored manner.She had always known Joshua was a scheming person, he had been scheming against the Walkers for a long time and had had his eyes on their family property as far back as when she and Simon were still in college but she never bothered about him because she knew he could not beat Simon. As long as Simon was still alive and kicking, a man like Joshua was not his match. Unlike Joshua who schemed senselessly, Simon was thorough. He was not just born into a rich family, he knew how to make wealth and use his wealth and power for his own benefit.The only thing about him was that he was not ambitious at all, which she didn’t mind when they were together as she was an ambitious one herself, it was not good for two spouses to be ambitious at the same time, if not they would dig out each other’s edges. So in her eyes
In Love Again 77: CLARISSE’S PLANS
An apartment on the 22nd floor of a high-end community was in a mess, Clarisse ran around the house urgently, picking expensive things and stuffing them into her suitcase according to their sizes. When she was done, she hid the things which were too big to pack in a secluded place in the living room. She rushed to the bedroom and continued her frantic packing, she opened Josh’s drawer with force and the flower vase neatly placed on it fell with a crash which startled her. She paused for a second, then began to rummage through the drawer, packing the cash, and gold bars that Josh had into her handbag when she suddenly heard someone inputting the password to the house at the door. Her eyeballs shrank in fear, she shut the drawer, zipped her suitcases, and hid them under the bed alongside her handbag, looked around the room for any evidence of her packing but found none, she sighed and calmed her breathing. She grabbed Josh’s baseball bat as she heard the frantic footsteps of the perso
In Love Again 78: COINCIDENTAL TRUTH
“Yes, I understand. Thank you for your help inspector.” Asher said and hung up the phone.He glanced at the beautiful garden from the balcony of the private restaurant and sighed before walking back into the room where Simon was having a celebration lunch with barrister Mike and Mr. Gabriel. The room was designed in a medieval Japanese style, with white curtains and a sliding door. The scent of fresh flowers blew into the room from the garden, the white curtains rustling with the breeze, and the three men sat around a rotating dining table filled with various Japanese dishes. This place was barrister Mike’s favorite place and to please him, Simon had invited him here for a ‘thank you’ meal.Simon looked up the moment Asher walked into the room, “How was it?” Simon asked and Asher nodded.“He's been arrested,” Asher answered and Simon nodded with satisfaction.“That’s good. I would waste no time in making sure he pays for every one of his crimes. But before that…,” Mike said with a sm
In Love Again 79: MAKING AMENDS 1
The ride to Alvira’s home took about fifteen minutes from where they were, Simon helped himself out of the car the moment it came to a stop and stopped Asher who was about to follow, “I think it’s better if I go alone.” He told him and Asher nodded, returning into the car and watching him go to the house himself.The house was dark inside when he looked at the windows but Simon still decided to knock even though he guessed there was no one there. He knocked twice but received no response, and wanted to knock one more time when someone spoke up behind him.“Why are you here?” He heard Emily’s voice and turned around to see her stern unsmiling face staring at him seriously. She was obviously just coming back from her part-time job with the way he saw things.“Good evening aunt….”“What do you want?” Emily interrupted him directly, not caring for his greeting.“I…” He glanced at the dark house behind him, “I came to see Alvira?”“What for? You think you haven’t caused her enough damage a
In Love Again 80: LANA’S MOVE 1
Simon returned to the hospital that night but ran back to Alvira’s home every other night at every chance he got hoping to see her all to no avail, other than that, his life slowly went back to normal and the dangers lurking in the dark were no longer there. The following week, however, brought a surprise that made Asher wonder if his guess the previous week was indeed true. Lana came visiting. Simon, who had finished his daily physiotherapy session, taken a bath in the private ward, and changed out of his sweat-soaked hospital gown into a pair of gray suit pants and white dress shirt walked out of the bathroom with the support of the wall and was shocked see Lana standing in the middle of the room staring at him shiny eyes. Lana finally decided to come see for herself after giving it a lot of thought. Even though she had meticulously planned out how to get Simon back, she had to be sure that he was really able to walk and she could only believe it when she saw it with her own eyes
In Love Again 81: THE WALKER’S HEART 1
The car drove out of the hospital premises when the men were done making complaints about Lana’s intrusion and making sure she never came anywhere near Simon’s ward again. Simon was seated in the back seat of the car, eager to go home as planned. He felt a little helpless when it came to Alvira, he had been trying to meet her for the past few days but had been unable to. It was almost like she was not in town at all but he knew she had to be in town as her exams were still ongoing, it was just that she had been avoiding him so well that he felt helpless.What he just didn’t understand was why the men stationed to watch out for her never caught a glimpse of her. Asher had those men stationed at the school gate daily to see if Alvira would go home and when she came in or left the school premises. But they never saw her.With a frown on his face, he said to Asher who was driving in a good mood, “Asher, do you know if we could get some students to help us look for Alvira in school.” He
In Love Again 82: THE WALKER’S HEART 2
Ben noticed the confusion on his face and clarified, “I never planned to take it back. As for other things…,” Ben sighed and gently placed the file in front of him. “I promised your dead father that I would watch over you as if you were my own, even though he was already dead when we got to the scene. At that time, Sarah wanted to adopt you officially, but I stopped her.” Jared was even more surprised.Ben continued nevertheless, “I thought you would hate us, your father died working for us, and it would be unfair if we allowed you to be bound to our family all your life. So I refused to sign the adoption letters. I thought that one day if you got tired of being a part of our family and wanted to leave, it would be easier for you to do that.”Jared was even more stunned when he heard this. The walker thought he blamed them for his father’s death. He was surprised, but Ben no longer cared about this. “This…,” He tapped the envelope, “Is the transfer of ownership of the TV station I
