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

In Love Again 90: TAKEN 1
It’s been a week since Simon was shot and life became more peaceful than anyone expected. Josh and Lana disappeared from the eyes of the public and the police investigation was hitting a dead end everywhere. Their whereabouts could not be found and it was obvious that some powerful people were helping them, but those helping them could not be discovered either.For Alvira life was pretty much good, she and Simon were reconciled and they were even more attached than they used to be in the past. She guessed that when people go through challenges together, their feelings for each other get deeply rooted. Simon was still forcefully hospitalized, as his hand was still in the cast, and the new physiotherapist didn’t trust him to be careful with his leg even though it was fine. As much as she wanted to stay with him at the hospital, she also needed to rush back to school to finish her exams.She walked out of a high-end restaurant, with takeout bags in her hand followed by the detectives th
In Love Again 91: TAKEN 2
“Josh! Josh!” Jared walked into the slightly messy but old office with anger just as Josh got off the phone with Simon. “Are you messing with me right now? Why didn’t you tell me when you got Alvira? It’s been five hours.”Josh's eyes flashed with impatience before he turned to Jared with a smile, “What are you so worked up about? I obviously tried to call you but the call was not going through.” Josh said as he placed another call.“Hello? It’s me. I need a huge diversion. One big enough to get those detectives out of the hospital.”Jared's face darkened when he heard the content of the call, “You are planning to send Simon over?”Josh glanced at him but didn’t respond immediately, he ended his call before turning to him, “Calm down Jared, we are all partners now. The least you can do is trust me.”“Trust you? You didn’t even call me over when you got her and now Simon is coming here. How can I trust you when I don’t know what exactly you are planning?” Jared asked unhappily. “If I
