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
In Love Again 83: LANA’S MOVE 2
In the state maximum prison, on the other end of the town, the security door to the visiting area opened with a loud ‘boom’, and Josh walked into the small cubicle with handcuffs around his wrist, which were removed before he sat down. He flashed a pleasing smile at his visitor, his second-hand man, Dylan, and they both picked up the phone.“How was it, were you able to contact her? Did you relay my message to her? Why didn’t she come visiting?” Josh asked a lot of questions in one go, a condescending look on his face. When he was arrested, he was first sent to the detention center and was then brought to jail along with the Walkers’ family doctor, whose case was tried first. The doctor was sentenced to five years’ imprisonment and his medical license was revoked. As for him, he was still waiting for the proposed date of his trial. Since he was brought into jail, he had been living a life of luxury, thanks to the money sent to him by Dylan.The case was in less than a week now, and h
In Love Again 84: MAKING AMENDS 2
A knock resounded on the door of Alvira’s home two days later and Emily rushed downstairs to open it thinking it was Alvira whom she had invited back from school but was surprised to see Sarah smiling at her.“Hi, Emily!” Sarah greeted with a bright smile, surprising the woman who was not expecting to see her.“…Madam Sarah,” Emily greeted, “What a pleasant surprise, please come in,” Emily said as she stepped aside for Sarah to come in.Sarah was pleased at her warm welcome, she walked into the house quickly, only then did Emily see Simon seated behind her, not attempting to come in.She gave him a helpless look and sighed, her brows no longer as twisted as they used to be in the past one week. In fact, she was not mad at Simon anymore, in the past one week he had been coming to her home nonstop, asking for her forgiveness, even though she sent him away and never told her daughter, she still observed him closely. The young man never left immediately, he always stayed in his car and w
In Love Again 85: SIMON’S HEART 1
“Alvira, Alvira please!”Simon, who didn’t know he was being discussed, shouted, Alvira turned around and was shocked to see him standing on the stairs, no… on his feet.“You… you can walk.” Alvira stuttered with shock and Simon smiled as he climbed the stairs, while holding onto the railing for support.Yes, he could walk, but it wasn’t smooth yet. His nerves which had been compressed for so long made his legs feel like they were not his, especially his right leg, it was still a little stiff and hurt when he put in too much effort to walk especially when he climbed stairs, so he walked unnaturally as if his legs were mechanical and not his at all. Alvira stared at him, eyes wide, hardly believing what she saw and forgetting her anger. Her eyes drifted from his legs to his face and she saw how pale his face became as he struggled to walk up the stairs. She didn’t know when he had the surgery or how long he had been undergoing therapy to get back on his feet, but seeing his pale fac
In Love Again 86: ALVIRA’S HEART
Alvira’s ears listened for Simon for a few minutes before she realized he left already, seeing he left, she felt dissatisfied and refused to come down no matter how her mother knocked or called for her to come down for lunch.The door to her room only opened when it was past dinner time, she walked down the stairs, and Emily turned to see Alvira who had shut herself indoors all day finally came downstairs and headed for the kitchen.“You’re finally done sulking? I left dinner for you in the warmer.”Alvira shot her an unhappy glance, and opened the refrigerator instead of heading to the warmer, making it obvious that she had no plans of eating the food Emily made.“Did you shut yourself up because you don’t want to speak to me?” She asked but Alvira still ignored her, “You’re mad at me? Funny, I thought you would be mad at Simon for coming here.”Alvira’s movement paused for a second before she pulled out a pack of sandwiches and a bottle of orange juice which she served herself, sat
In Love Again 86: SIMON’S HEART 2
It was late at night when Simon woke up from his nap, he looked out the window and was surprised that it was dark already, he glanced at the empty drip bag which had been disconnected from his wrist a while ago, and sighed. He must have been sleeping deeply since he didn’t even notice when it was removed.He pulled himself up to a seating position, noticing the relief in his legs he felt better but famished. He looked around the room, but Nick, his driver who had been in the room when he fell asleep, wasn't there. He picked up his phone to call him only to see a bunch of missed calls from different people. Which he didn’t hear.Six were from his lawyer, Mike; five from Asher, and then even some from his grandparents. He saw the missed calls and felt confused. Was there something wrong? He wondered, thought about Alvira, and opened the last message he had sent to her.Because she didn’t pick up his calls but blocked his number, he registered an extra sim and sent her lovely messages o
In Love Again 87: SIMON’S HEART 3
“You’re late,” Lana told Alvira the moment she dropped her totes bag on the seat beside her and sat down.“Seeing that I'm not the protagonist of the day, I didn’t think you needed me to be here early. After all, didn’t you say this was some kind of reunion between you and Simon?” Alvira said giving off airs and annoying Lana. She glanced around, “From the look of things, Simon didn’t come either,”“I just finished speaking to him, he will be here any moment now.” Lana lied without blinking her eyes. She had chosen a seat by the floor-to-ceiling glass plane and she had positioned herself to face the door so she could see him the moment he came in. The moment she saw him, she was going to start the show.“Oh,” Alvira said, trying to hide the pain in her heart. In fact, she was more listless than she showed. She was heartbroken. She knew she shouldn’t be here, she knew she shouldn’t let Simon hurt her more than he already did but she couldn’t help it.A part of her just couldn’t beli
In Love Again 88: RECONCILED
The next time Simon opened his eyes, he was in his private ward at St Joseph Hospital. He looked around confused, tried to sit up, and was immediately helped by Sarah who had arrived at one point in time.“Grandma? What are you doing here?”“Silly child, what do you mean what am I doing here? I am your family.”“Yes.., yes, I know. I am sorry.” Simon looked around the room, “Alvira…, where is she?”“She’s fine. She’s giving her statement to the police as we speak and your grandpa went with her, I must say, you did a good job this time. Alvira finally forgave you.” Sarah teased as she nodded towards his casted hand which was hung to his neck.Simon followed her line of sight and sighed helplessly. His grandma was always like this, trying to cheer a patient with the weirdest joke. “Grandma, I didn’t wish to get shot at.”“But it was still a good thing in disguise, wasn't it?” She winked and smiled.The door to the ward opened and Alvira walked in, seeing Simon awake in bed she rushed to
