WHILE FATIMA WAS RECOVERING, she starts to wonder what her mother meant when they were in the hotel room. She was talking about her father's accident, but why? How is Christopher involved in it too? Nothing is making sense and she doesn't know if she should take her mother's words for real. What happened that day that she has no idea of? This is making her go crazy.
She sighed heavily and continued staring at the ceiling, the only thing she can see at this point. It feels like an eternity, she's been in this hospital for almost like a decade in her head.
"What's on your mind, hmm?" She turned and looked to the side and saw Grian standing there with flowers in his hand. She eyed him before looking back at the ceiling. "Nothing..." she mumbled and he smiled. He stepped forward and showed her the flowers.
"For you-"
"I'm allergic to flowers," she stated and he blinked a c
Thank you for the reads, gems, etc and putting my book in your library. I really appreciate it!
AFTER HIS FEELINGS WERE broadcast live on television, Fatima felt like disappearing from Earth. Now that the whole world knows and she’s for a certain she didn’t mishear him, it basically makes her feel like exploding like a grenade. She still can’t believe it, he likes her.. again. After so many years. Did he even get over her in the first place or what?Grian’s mother burst into the room and asked, “Are you two dating now or what?” Fatima looked over at the door and her eyes widened in shock and embarrassment.“What?!” she shouted and turned her face away.“Why are you here, mom?” Grian asked with a sigh.“I heard the news. LITERALLY the news. How can I not go here?” she added.AT THE MANSION, BOTH Christopher and his mother heard the news. One was delighted and the other was n
FATIMA WOKE UP WITH her body feeling heavy and her chest feeling so sore and painful because of the gunshot wound. She slowly lifted her head and confusedly looked around the room. She furrowed her eyebrows, trying to determine what the hell was happening to her."FATIMA!" She heard someone shout and she looked up and blinked a couple of times, and saw Hannah tied up to a chair in front of her. Her eyes widened in horror and as she looked down, she saw herself tied up as well and was unable to move."W-where am I?" she asked as she tried freeing herself."Oh my god, thank god you're alive." Hannah sighed in relief."Those witches took you- and dragged me here as well!!" she screamed in frustration."Witches?" Fatima asked in confusion."Urghhh!"Footsteps from a distance were heard and Hannah shut her m
When they went back to the room, Hannah sat down on the bed. "That was disgusting! He almost touched me!" she complained and tried shaking it off. She looks like a ghost appeared in front of her by how pale she is looking. She's too disgusted by it.Fatima changed to pants once she saw pants in the closet so the shards of the glass won't hurt her. She also threw pants to Hannah who's still trying to get over what happened. "I even flirted with him!" she complained, almost in tears."Aish, put that on." Hannah pouted before taking the pants and putting them on and putting on a better top as well."Wait- your wound is bleeding through," Hannah said and pointed at her wound on her chest. Fatima looked down before going in front of the mirror and sighing. "It's fine, we'll be able to escape anyway," Fatima told her. Hannah stood up and looked through the closet and saw a jacket. She grabbed it and handed it over to Fatima.&n
"I'm scared..." Fatima whispered. All her bravery was brought down once she learned the truth. It's almost as if she doesn't have power over her life, feeling hopeless about everything. She's been living in a lie her whole life. Her mother isn't her real mother, her biological mother is dead, and the person who killed her father is her ex-boyfriend."Come on, let's take you to the hospital," Grian said and was leading her to the ambulance but it was too much for her. She felt lightheaded and collapsed but Grian caught her. Her eyes closed and he immediately carried her to the ambulance. "We need help!" he screamed.Fatima was brought to a better hospital with great security. Her arm was treated since it has a massive cut from the shard of glass. The bandages on her chest were changed and her wound got cleaned. She was still passed out during this and was brought to a high-security hospital room for protection to help her feel bet
[Flashback Start]Day 1WHILE FATIMA IS STILL in the hospital, Grian and Christopher were arranging things. The company ownership documents were handed to Grian as he contemplated whether or not to take the offer. Christopher sat across from him, watching as he held a pen and placed his signature on the paper. “Done,” Grian said as he caught his breath.Christopher sighed and took the paperwork he signed. He typed things on his computer before the printer started to produce more documents. They waited in silence as the paper printed. “What’s that?” Grian asked as he looked at the papers.“Details from Fatima’s past, when she wasn’t born yet. Her biological mother and her father’s details,” he explained and Grian’s eyebrows raised.“Wait- so you found her real mother?” Christopher nodded and grabbed the newly prin
THREE DAYS AFTER STAYING inside Grian's house and recovering from her injuries, she's decided to get out of the house. Since Grian knows more about her biological mother, she wants to know where she's buried. She was informed it was in the same grave where her father is buried and now she wants to go visit both of them today."Hold on, I'm getting ready!" Fatima exclaimed while putting on her clothes.Philippe and Tim also got ready to visit their father. Grian already informed Philippe that they're meeting someone blood-related to them, or at least Fatima. He wasn't so nervous about it till he read the paper Grian handed to him. His face grew pale in shock."I thought.. it was just her biological mother.. not that person as well?" he asked, a bit confused and Grian nodded to himself."I know, it's shocking," he said. Philippe found out about Fatima not being their mother's bi
They spent the rest of the day in their mother's garden. Hannah showed her sister pictures of their mother, told her memories about her, and how lovely she was when she was still alive. Reminiscing memories about her makes Fatima feel like she's experiencing the things Hannah has told. "So.. Philippe and Timothy are my brothers too, I guess?" Hannah asked as she looked over at the three eating at the table that was set up for them while the two girls talked about things. "I still can't believe we're siblings." Fatima shook her head at the thought and Hannah rolled her eyes. "We're just so different from one another- I just don't quite get it," she added and chuckled. Hannah sighed before crossing her arms. "Both of us look so similar to her! How can we not be?" Hannah argued while looking at the picture of their mom in Fatima's hands. "Ohh, looks like you really want me to be your
GRIAN WALKED IN THE COMPANY and then got ready for the interview. It was announced that the new company owner will introduce himself on this day. Employees in the company know but outside of that, no one knows. Now that it was publicly announced that the CEO will be introduced, the news made their way to schedule an interview with him.He breathed heavily as he waited behind the stage. Everyone is waiting in anticipation as the clock ticks by. The room was noisy from everyone talking to each other including guests, investors, and partners of the company. Of course, they already know who the new owner is, but are still here for the new beginning of the company.A few more minutes went by and he was ready to go in front and say his speech. He fixed his tie and stood up from his seat. He drank some water before clearing his throat and checking the speech he made again. He took a deep breath and closed his eyes.He wal
